"And what would you like me to say? That I had a wonderful childhood and I just grew up to be power hungry?" Loki roll his eyes and would cross his arms if he able to.
"I want to know how things are from your eyes, I know Thor might have a happy childhood but it doesn't mean that you did. It is hard seeing your sibling doing better than you and being your parents favourite." Regina said softly as she place her hands on her lap.
"And what would you know about that?" He glare at Regina. "You know nothing!"
"I might not know exactly how you feel but I know how it feels to see your siblings being treated differently. My brother was always treated better than my sister or I just because he is a guy and my sister has an aunt and uncle who treats her like their child while I had no one." She smiled sadly. "As the oldest I am always being beaten and scolded for not only something I did but also for what my younger siblings did. I found it very unfair and I always wonder what I did to deserve all this pain? Shouldn't I be loved by someone too? But all that made me who I am today. And if I wasn't the me I am now I won't have such a wonderful daddy."
"So you're saying everything they did to you is alright just because you have a good life now? You are willing to forgive them for all the beating and scolding? For not loving you? For caring only for your brother just because he is a boy?"
"No...I'm not saying what they did is right...and I would never forgive them for the pain they had put me through but in the end of it all, they are still my family. And that is how I know, no matter what they did to you, no matter how bad your life was, a small part of you still cares for them. And as an older sibling I know that even after everything you had done, Thor still loves you." She smiled softly as she stood. "You might think you hate him but both care for each other in your own way, even though you are adopted, you both act like true brothers." She said before walking out of the room, Loki needs time to think about what she said and she needs to get some sleep. Tony woke her up in the middle of the night just to talk to Loki and let's just say she is not happy about it.
"Regina." Tony was in her room watching the whole thing and waiting for her to return. "Care to explain some things?" He knew her childhood wasn't pleasant but for a parent to favour one child just because of his gender? He just doesn't understand that.
She sigh softly as she drop onto her bed and hug one of her pillow. "It's an old Chinese thing. They think that having a son is better than having a daughter because only the son would carry on the family name. There is an old Chinese saying that basically means 'Daughters are water poured out of the family after they get married.' it's because in the olden days the women would have to have permission from her husband's family to visit her 'former' family."
"Well that is unfair and stupid." Tony lay next to Regina and wrap his arms around her. "Your future husband is going to take the Stark name and all of your future children will be a Stark. You can't escape me that easily."
Regina giggle softly as she cuddle closer to Tony. "Does that mean that I can marry Pietro and have many children with him?" She asked innocently as she hide her mischievously smile.
"No!" He growled as he hugs her protectively. "No marriage or children for you! You're going to stay as my little girl for the rest of your life!"
"Oh Daddy..." She smiled sleepily as the warmth from Tony's body lull her to a peaceful sleep. She knows that Tony is going to keep her close and glare at Pietro tomorrow but for now she can't bring herself to care.
