I'm sorry for taking so long to update guys :/ As I said I was just going through a roughish period where I had no motivation to write. My finals week is next week so I figured I would updated now instead of wait another week. I hope you all enjoy! I guess we'll have to see how this turns out! (I'm nervous!)
Bruce made his way over and sat down next to Peter. He noticed that Peter wore long sleeved shirts all the time now ever since... He really wanted Peter to trust them and he wished he knew what Peter was thinking. The kid always surprised him and he just can't wrap his mind around why Peter thinks it is his fault that Gwen died.
"Hey. Why don't I take a look at your arm to see how the cuts are healing up." Bruce suggested calmly, but after he said it he cringed at the bluntness.
Bruce watched how Peter froze with his spoon halfway to his mouth. He saw how Peter's eyes darted to the door as if he was planning to bolt.
"What's wrong with Peter's arm?" Loki asked from the couch only catching a bit of what Bruce said.
"Nothing. It's nothing. I think I can handle looking at them myself, thank you." Peter took his bowl to the sink and fled the room.
"I was just trying to help. I wish he could trust us." Bruce sighed.
"Hey it's okay Bruce. It's going to take time, but I feel he will come around." Natasha smiled slightly at Bruce.
"Hello! What happened to Peter's arm?" Loki asked louder this time.
"He didn't tell you when you guys chatted?" Tony asked as he made his entrance into the common area.
Bruce noted how Natasha raised her eyebrow in silent question asking 'when did you talked?'
"He came to me the other day after he trained with you guys. We were hmm what do you misgardians call it? Hmm I think bonding? Yes bonding." Loki answered the unasked question. "But no he didn't divulge why he was here and I was not aware he was injured. So again I'll ask what is wrong with Peter?"
"I think you should wait until he comes to you on his own time." Clint said from the vent.
"Surprisingly I'm going to have to agree with Clint on this." Tony said.
Sir there appears to be a break in and someone is trying to take Peter from his room. He's holding out pretty well, but I'm afraid he isn't going to last much longer.
They were all moving as soon as Jarvis finished saying take Peter.
Natasha being the first to arrive pulled open the door to see Peter hanging onto the window with his hands as someone was trying to pull him off. She could see the relief in his eyes as he saw Natasha and the rest of the Avengers arrive.
She sprinted harder than she had in all her life and just as she was about to grab Peter's hands his kidnapper gave a vicious tug and Peter couldn't hold on any longer.
Natasha couldn't keep it in and yelled, "Peter!"
They all watched from the window as Peter was struggling with his kidnapper in a helicopter. They were all slightly scared because the door was still open and they didn't want Peter to fall out.
"Loki do some hocus pocus and help Peter out!" Tony yelled.
"So I see you didn't tell them." Loki said as he looked solemnly at Peter being sedated and passing out. "Odin took away the strength of my power. Before I could have vanished, reclaimed Peter and vanished back here. Now I can only vanish myself otherwise I come close to death."
"So you're useless!" Tony yelled, but then stopped all of a sudden. "You could never place the spell on the tower could you, thats why they have him."
"I did place the spell! I guess it didn't last because the tower was too big. I didn't even think abou that. I forget sometimes that my power isn't what it use to be." Loki defended himself.
"Well now your forgetfulness cost us Peter!" Tony yelled.
"Maybe if he was with his family like he wanted this wouldn't have happened!" Loki yelled back just as angry.
"He would have been dead if we allowed him to go home." Steve tried to defend Tony. Tony sent an appreciative smile his way.
"How do you know that?" Loki asked calming down a bit.
They all sent each other knowing looks that they had to tell Loki even though they told him to him to wait until Peter confided in him.
"Tony found him trying to kill himself. We're trying to save him from himself." Bruce said softly.
Loki looked at a loss for words and looked very confused. He couldn't help, but like Peter and learning that he was broken broke his heart.
He knew from this point on that they all had a common goal: save Peter.
The first step is getting him backā¦
Okay I tried. And sorry I know it is a short chapter. I'll have to make sure that the next one is long- I'll try! I hope it was to your guys liking. :) I'm probably not going to update again until after May 7th because of finals, but who knows maybe I will find time to update if I take a break from studying.
