Eva's eyes shot open as she woke suddenly. Looking up at the dark ceilng, she smiled and sat up. Her dreams that night were in fact memories. The events not imagined, but the truth. The faces of her parents came to the forefront of her mother, Katherine had the same shade of hazel eyes as Eva, only with darker hair. Her father, James was a brunette with chocolate brown eyes. With the memories came a pang of sadness that they were no longer here, but ultimately Eva was happy. More than ever before in her life did she feel she knew who she was. She seemed destined to end up in this mad world of magic and spies and Gods and agents. She wouldn't focus on the sad parts; if things had been different she would not be where she was now. Eva might not have even met the Avengers or Loki. She was thankful and grateful to her parents. She would do them proud if she could.

Eva could see George when he was younger. The memory was comical, as he differed to the well-kept man she knew now. Eva smiled brightly, looking down to her left. A certain dark haired man was sleeping quietly, an arm outstretched in her direction. "Loki" she spoke, jostling his shoulder slightly to wake him. His eyes opened soon after, with a scowl on his features. It soon smoothed out into a soft smile.

"I can remember" Eva beamed. Loki's smile widened. It was hard not to when she radiated so much happiness. Eva noticed Loki looked quite tired, which was unusual for him. Eva searched their new accommodation for a clock and realised it was still early in the morning. "Ah, sorry" she murmured.

"It's alright" Loki said dismissively sitting up. He yawned as he smoothed out his hair. He was glad Eva had recovered her lost memories. Now she could move on from the past like he needed to. Loki was learning that there was not much point dwelling on the past when there was nothing that could be done to change it. Instead, he would focus on the future and making that turn out how he wanted it.

Eva's gleefulness lessened slightly when she picked up on Loki's aura. "You have a headache" she observed and it felt to her to be mild now, but it could get worse.

"It's nothing" Loki dismissed, he could handle a headache.

"Let me make it better" she told him. Touching her hand to his neck and focusing on ridding him of his headache. She frowned opening her eyes. It hadn't totally gone away, only lessened. "That should have made it go away"

"At least you didn't make it worse" Loki teased. Eva smirked, but underneath she was annoyed her power hadn't fixed it.

"So, I'm guessing I passed out and this is a room in S.H.I.E.L.D?" she guessed. All the rooms were standard and looked alike, possessing the same colour scheme of black on black.

Loki nodded, "You've done a lot of passing out lately." Eva nodded with a sad smile. How time flies when you're unconscious.

"Did George help everyone else?"

"Yes" Loki smirked at the memory "Now Thor can discuss Roan's heritage with Roan, at long last" he said sarcastically.

"So,who is Roan's father?" Eva questioned.

"He is or was Lord Erland"

"Was?"

"He has not been seen in Asgard for some time"

"Why not?"

"I know not" Loki shrugged.

"So, does this mean Roan is some form of nobility?" Eva said with a small smile.

"I suppose it does" Loki answered. Eva nodded, when they all got back to Asgard at least Roan would feel more included and could stay at the palace.

Eva felt so wide awake and it was so early in the morning. She felt as though she wouldn't need sleep for days. She wasn't sure if that was because of her new Asgardian-ness, the fact she had slept so much already or the excitement her memories had caused.

"I don't think I can get back to sleep" she said to Loki. She didn't want be awake on her own, but she didn't want to keep him up either.

"Then we will have to find something else to do" Loki said with a growing smile. He could forget about his fatigue and his headache if he needed to. Eva grinned at his train of thought.

At a more reasonable time Loki and Eva went looking for everyone. Stark had flown back to his Malibu mansion, the venue for Pepper's party that would be happening later. Bruce had left saying he was 'not one for parties'. Beforehand, he had taken some DNA samples to run to see if the strange men had the same mutant gene Eva had. Or at least find out why they had these amazing powers. Aiden and Roan were making use of the training room and the S.H.I.E.L.D weapons. Jared was doing a great job of annoying George, which was consequently annoying Steve, who was speaking with Sif about how strange Earth had become. The four were in the small kitchen, each trying to find something to eat.

"Don't get me started" Steve began when Sif mentioned the abundance of technology in the kitchen. "He even put a screen on the fridge" the Captain said in exasperation, gesturing to the glowing blue screen on the door. Some Stark tech had wormed its way into S.H.I.E.L.D. Fury had turned away most of Tony's tech, adamant it would be concealing some sort of secret stealing device. He allowed the fridge just to shut him up. "I don't see what was wrong with it before" Steve continued.

"At least you have a, 'fridge'" Sif responded. She could agree with 'if it's not broken don't fix it', but this technology was all the same to her. Did it matter whether a fridge possessed a screen?

Loki stood in the doorway, as Eva gave George a thank you hug, telling him nothing was his fault and not to blame himself. George gave her kind smile, thankful both for her words and for distracting Jared. "Y'know, I liked your hair back then" Eva teased George.

"Ah, don't bring it up. It was awful" George said, cringing at the memory of his dreadful hairstyle. Eva laughed, before turning her attention to Jared.

"So what memories did you get back?" Eva asked him.

"Don't tell S.H.I.E.L.D, but I was a pretty good thief" Jared said in a bragging tone "gone without a trace" he continued.

"I wouldn't worry" Eva replied "most of the agents here have a dodgy background." Jared's reply was cut off by Thor's booming voice.

"Brother!" he exclaimed, clapping Loki on the back. The dark haired God gave him a look of annoyance. "It was good to be fighting alongside you once again" Thor said with such sincerity, Loki bit back his retort.

"It was good to be there" Loki murmured, the truth of the words surprising him. His resentment for the blond was starting to fade away. There were worse things than not being king. Namely loosing Eva; which would no doubt happen in pursuit of the throne. The brunette in question was making her way back to him, stepping out of Thor's way as he entered the kitchen. Jane gave a small smile to her and Loki as she followed Thor.

"Fury doesn't want us to leave the base" Eva mentioned to Loki, as they walked away in search of a less crowded area. George mentioned Fury's orders in the kitchen on Eva's way out, prompting Jared to start a conversation on how no prison could hold him. No doubt the normal bickering had resumed since Eva's departure.

"And you and I are notorious for following the rules" Loki replied with an impish smile. Eva smiled too: she had been secretly hoping he'd say something like that.

"Where should we go?" she asked.

"Wherever you want on this path-lovely planet" he corrected himself. Eva probably wouldn't refer to Earth as pathetic. She gave him a suspicious look, before thinking about it.

"Can we go back to my apartment? I didn't bring anything from there to Asgard. Then we can do something fun"

"Alright" Loki said with a smile, taking hold of her to transport them to her old residence.

It was exactly how they had left it. Only a layer of dust covering the surfaces was different. Loki quickly cleared it with a sweep of his hand. Eva shot him an impressed look, before walking into her bedroom. Under the bed was her suitcase. She pulled it out and unzipped it, looking at the clothing inside. Eva separated her things into piles. She would take her favourite jumpers, jeans and shoes, as well as her pyjamas. As nice as Asgardian dresses were, it was nice to relax in her own Earthly clothes. She discarded the bag of toiletries; they wouldn't be needed. She stuffed all her items into a bag, slinging it over her shoulder. Eva felt Loki come in a sit on the bed. He ran a hand though his hair; his headache had gotten worse. He wasn't sure what had brought it on. "Are you alright?" Eva asked. She knew how he was feeling, just not what he was thinking.

"I don't know" Loki replied, gripping his forehead. He closed his eyes, which seemed to help slightly. He reached out for Eva's hand, bringing it to his forehead in an attempt to get rid of the pain. It only helped slightly. Loki fell back against the mattress. For some reason he was feeling really tired. "Loki, take us back to S.H.I.E.L.D" Eva urged, she didn't like how he was looking. Maybe Thor would know what was wrong with him, Eva thought. At the very least she didn't want them to be stuck here if he was ill. Loki sat up, blinking languidly and wrapped his arms around Eva to teleport them.

They landed, still in their seated position, in one of the S.H.I.E.L.D corridors. Eva recognised it to be the one leading from the kitchen. "Thor!" Eva shouted. Loki was leaning heavily against the wall with his eyes shut, holding Eva's hand to his cheek. Eva saw Jared step out into the corridor.

"What happened?" he asked upon spying Loki.

"Get Thor" Eva demanded and Jared disappeared back into the kitchen. He reappeared next to her seconds later with the blond God.

"Loki?" Thor asked, crouching down and shaking his shoulder, only making the dark haired man frown and try to swat his hand away. "What happened?" he asked Eva, echoing Jared's earlier words.

"I don't know. He was fine this morning and he only had a headache. We went to my apartment and his headache got worse and now I think he might pass out" Eva explained quickly. By this time, Sif and some of the others had come out.

"There is one thing it could be" Thor thought aloud, his lips pursed with uncertainty.

"What?" Eva pressed.

"Loki has been using his magic a lot recently. It has no doubt taken its toll. Not to mention the stress these recent events have caused us all"

"What do we do?" Eva asked.

"You can only let him rest" Sif chipped in.

"Has this happened before?" Eva questioned.

"Not that I remember" Thor started "But it could be similar to when our father needs to rest in order to restore his power" he told her, explaining the Odinsleep slightly. Eva nodded, feeling her panic subside slightly.

"We should get him back to our room" Eva suggested. Thor moved to help Loki up, but Jared stopped him.

"I can teleport him" Jared offered. Thor nodded, moving away so that Jared could teleport Loki away.

"Why don't you get affected by teleporting?" Eva questioned. Jared had put Loki on the bed and the God had almost immediately slipped into unconsciousness. Eva felt some relief that she had an explanation for his condition.

"I was wondering that too" Jared started "I think it's because I was born with the ability. Like, you don't get affected by using your power too much." Eva nodded in agreement; Loki had to learn magic.

"He'll be fine" Jared added, waving a hand dismissively.

"I know. He's just trying to get out of going to the party tonight" Eva joked. Jared laughed lightly, before disappearing and leaving them in peace. Eva sighed, why couldn't things be uneventful? Just for a little while. She looked down at Loki on the bed, sleeping deeply to 'restore his power' or whatever Thor had said. Eva wondered how long it would take. Hours? Days? Longer? Thor didn't know and Loki wasn't available to ask. She joined him on the bed, not willing to leave him alone. After all, they were at the S.H.I.E.L.D base, filled with agents that still saw him as the enemy. She tucked a strand of his dark hair behind his ear, guessing today wouldn't be as exciting as she had hoped. Eva was an Asgardian now and she'd hardly had chance to test her strength. Not to mention she had promised to win a fight against Clint the next time they fought. She had a sneaky suspicion she would win.

Poor Loki :P Not sure when I will update next, but I will try to write! Please review, as they are excellent motivation! :D
