Sophia tucked a strand of her frizzy hair behind her ear as she darted to the other side of her room, to scoop another crying child into her arms, her eyes darting all over the seventeen small children making sure that they were all unharmed as she tried to calm the child in her lap.
Loki walked to the edge of the open plan room which Stark had elected to the children and straight away he noticed Sophia. She looked more tired than usual, all together he only remembered her sleeping for ten minutes the previous night, and her hair was lazily pulled back into a hair grip, regardless of this though she still took his breath away, and the soft look on her face almost made him break into a smile there and then as he walked up to her, watching her as she comforted the child, balancing him on her hip as she soothed him.
"Lucas it's okay, you can be scared baby, but I won't let them hurt you," she whispered in such a tone that Loki, kissed her forehead briefly, overwhelmed by the emotions he felt welling inside his chest as he watched her coax the child in her arms into smiling, before placing him back on the floor.
"You look tired," he said to her quietly, smirking as he noticed her eyes didn't stay on him for more than five seconds before flickering back to the children, her eyes dancing all over the room.
"Thanks," she smirked up at him, "a nice way to say I look shit. How was work?" she enquired.
"Mundane," he dismissed, "how about your day?"
"Pepper helped me a lot this morning, got all the kids down to have a nap and I carried on tracking their families with Jarvis helping me," she shrugged, a frown pulling on her face as she looked over at the children again, sadness etched in her eyes.
"You are doing more than enough for them, they aren't your responsibility," Loki said calmly, almost laughing at the anger which flashed in Sophias eyes when she looked at him.
"These kids could have been me Loki, they were me. And if I didn't run away I could have saved them," Sophia hissed, spinning on her heel as to turn away, but Loki snatched hold of her wrist and kept his grip on it until she turned around, waiting until she met his eyes before he let go.
"You survived and no one could have asked for more, I will help you in whatever you need," Loki said so sincerely that for a moment Sophia was taken back.
"I should have done more," she looked at Loki, biting down on her lip, before smiling slightly, "I do love you though Loki," before turning and walking towards the children, yelling out that dinner was ready and herding them – which was the only way Loki could think to describe what was happening at that moment in time – into the dining room.
A little outline on what's going on.
