Clint no doubt called Fury at first Fury didn't believe that Natasha was helping Loki it wasn't what his Natasha would do she would never help a war criminal like Loki but how wrong was Fury when he ca,e to the tower finding Natasha floor empty and the tv on dishes still out it was apparent that she left in a rush and no doubt was on the run with Loki, Fury had Shield agents looking for any signs of Natasha and Loki but knowing Natasha she would only be found if she wanted to be found.

"Where are they," Fury asked, Thor

"I don't know," Thor responded

"What was Loki doing back here," Clint asked he was furious his own best friend helping the man or child he didn't know what Loki was at the moment

"I brought him here and Lady Natasha was willing to help."

"Why would Natasha help a mad man," Steve asked

"My brother is no longer a man but a child who doesn't remember doing any crime he is not a threat to you please let him go."

"Your brother is the god of lies he is just pretending to not remember," Clint said

"When we find him Thor he will go back to Asgard and until then we will be watching everything you do." Fury said before heading out. Thor really hoped that Natasha and Loki weren't found he didn't want his brother to go through the same punishments it wasn't right. Tony who had grown to like Loki would make sure Natasha and Loki weren't found he told her to call if she ever needs anything he will help the kid went through a lot and being locked up in a Shield cell wasn't going to help, he and Bruce gave Thor their word of not telling anyone about Loki.

Natasha who had hot-wired a car and stopped to buy some hair dye was on her way to the cheapest motel for her and Loki to hide out until she had gotten him a new identity, she was going as a new required identity that she forged months ago as Rachel Thomson and Loki was going as Levi Thomson her son she had already made a quick call with one of her contacts and was going to meet her tomorrow to get Loki's picture and everything to get his new identity. Natasha was worried Loki hadn't said anything since they left Stark's tower and yes he hasn't talked yet but they were making progress he giggled the other day but then he feared that Thor or Natasha was going to hit him and tensed up but then he saw Thor and Natasha laughing he and not punishing him made him relax and now he was just sitting in the back of someone's car clutching on to his stuff rabbit as if his life depended on it and in a way it did, it hurt Natasha that he felt unsafe because he was starting to feel safe around her, Thor, Bruce and Tony who would sit with Loki and play chess or any game on his tablet while Loki watched in silence. Natasha had pulled into the motel she hoped no one would recognize her she the last thing she needed was for someone to record her and Loki and posting it for the whole world to see and Shield to be right behind them ready to put Loki in a cage, Natasha turned off the engine stepping out the car with a plain blue hat and the blonde hair dye in hand, she hopes the hat would draw less attention to herself she made her way to the back door unbuckling Loki who was still in his footie PJ and started walking to the motel with him on her hip holding onto her shirt with an iron grip.

"Can I get a room?" Natasha asked the man who was working at the desk at the motel, Natasha saw that he was looking at her since she came in and although he saw Loki in her arms his eyes kept remaining on her body and sure Loki wasn't her child but she still had a child with her, men had no chill these days.

"um sure one single bed right."

"Yes."

"You can have room 36. How long will you be staying."

"Just 2 nights."

"That will be 100 dollars." Natasha was glad she grabbed her purse before she left, she handed the clerk a hundred dollar bill

"Here's your room key." Natasha left without saying anything else to the clerk wanting to as far away from him as she could go look for the room she and Loki would be staying in for the time being when Natasha found the room it was simple and like any other motel she stayed in a room in the middle and in front was a tv.

"Loki I'm going to be in the bathroom, if you need anything come get me," Natasha said placing him on the bed and putting on cartoons on the tv before making her way to the bathroom ready to dye her long curly red hair blonde, it wasn't the first time she had to dye her hair and it sure wouldn't be the last.

By the time Natasha had completely dyed her hair and had washed it, Loki had fallen asleep tv still playing the cartoons he was curled up into a ball and clutching the rabbit mouth parted a little Natasha couldn't believe she was saying this but Loki was a cute kid and he was calm and obedient she didn't know why anyone would want to do him harm. Natasha carefully picked him up not wanting to wake him up and tucked him under the covers, Natasha for a few seconds was watching the little being in front of her sleep before to make a quick phone call.

"Can I use your phone?" Natasha asked the clerk form earlier

"Of course, here." He handed the phone to Natasha who dialed Tony's number she needed to know what happened after she left, what was Fury's plan and how Thor was doing, and if she had to worry about Asgardians also coming after Loki and her.

"Hello." Tony's voice rang through the phone

"Hey, Tony it's Nat."

"Are you safe?"

"Yeah for now. What happened after we left?"

"Fury was pissed he said he'll do anything to find him and he's having Thor followed so you won't be seeing or hearing from him anytime soon. Do you need anything? How is the little guy?"

"He's sleeping, Thor knows it's what's best for him right and no he won't be finding us anytime soon."

"I think he does know but it still hurts him to not be able to see Loki. You promise to call if you need anything right."

"I will I promise Tony I need to go."

"Be careful Nat."

"Always bye Tony."

Natasha handed the phone back to the clerk who heard everything she just said and was staring at her curiously and hungrily and sure Natasha was used to men looking at her but that didn't mean she liked it and she definitely hated the way this person was looking at her.

"Running from your baby daddy, are we." The clerk asked Natasha was turning to leave not wanting to talk to him any longer than she should but as she was turning to go the clerk grabbed her wrist with a tight grip that was going to leave a bruise later.

"Come on don't be like that I could show you a good time." The clerk said well licking his lips

"I'm fine," Natasha said ripping her wrist away from him and leaving the front office and back to the room where she heard quiet sobs and in and panic she opened the door ready for a fight to only find Loki crying with his head in his lap sobs wracking his body. Natasha went to him pulling him into a hug which he returned wrapping his arms around Natasha's neck and sobbed into her shirt.

"It's okay Loki I'm here."

But Natasha was met by more sobs she repeated her words running her hand through his hair well the other was rubbing circles on his back.
