TJ wasn't sure what time it was when he woke. He groaned, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes and turning over to look at the clock.

6:45PM

He got up, going to the small bathroom that held a toilet, sink and shower. He took a quick shower and changed his clothes.

He left his room, looking around and walking to were he heard talking.

It was a break room of sorts. Fitz, Simmons, Skye and Mac were sitting and talking at a table. He felt awkward walking in but Skye saw him first, smiling and getting up to greet him. "TJ right?" He nodded. "Skye?" She smiled. "Yep. You want something to eat, we just had dinner...well..we had pizza if that counts as dinner." TJ chuckled. "Pizza sounds great."

He followed her to the table, starting to get to know everyone. On his third slice Simmons asked "What happened to cause Loki to go insane? I'm sorry to ask, I just need to know for medical purposes. It can help." TJ have her a small smile. "It's alright." He retold the tragic death of Emily Stark. How the roller coaster of emotions in the house caused the temporary insanity. Skye was the first to talk after it was told. "Oh god. That's awful. I'm so sorry. No wonder he went temporary insane. I would to. Grief does a lot to a person."

Simmons spoke next. "Well he's in a stable environment now. Hopefully he should be recovered in no time as your house heals. We can even test out some anti-anxiety medication for him and see if anything works. It could prevent this kind of thing in the future." TJ nodded. "That sounds like a good idea. May I see him?" Simmons nodded, standing up to show him to Lokis room.

It was a nice room. Completely white with the exception of a screen that showed a relaxing forest. A full sized bed and padded walls. Loki was still asleep but a more natural sleep from the sedition as he turned over, curling. Simmons explained that this room was typically meant to hold powered individuals, nullifying their power and making them unable to use it. Right now it was the perfect safe space for Loki. "Can I go inside?" "Yes but you'll need supervision for now, at least until he's more stable." TJ nodded as Simmons put the code to open the door. He walked inside as it closed, Simmons staying close by.

He sat on the bed carefully, not daring touch him, too scared he could wake him up. Loki woke up about twenty minutes later. He saw TJ, tears in his eyes. TJ gently pet his hair. "Hey baby.." "I'm sorry.." Loki sucked in a breath. TJ tried to calm him but Loki continued. "It's all my fault. She's dead because of me." "No, no she isn't Loki." But Loki was starting to sob so hard, gripping his head. TJ helped Loki sit up, wrapping him in his arms tightly, letting him cry. When Loki calmed he spoke, his voice rough. "I hear them. Quinn and Gage. They tell me it's my fault. She died because of me. Because father cursed me, tragedy will follow." "You know they don't think that right?" TJ said softly. "I'm sure they do. They won't tell me but they think it. I know it." TJ let out a breath, hoping the paranoia will go away as he heals.

A few more minutes of Loki holding onto TJ for dear life and some relative peace, Simmons came in with a chart. She gave a soft smile. "Loki, I'm Jemma Simmons, TJ and I are taking care of you here."

Loki looked at her, shaking his head, his hand curling in his hair. "No. I don't deserve help. I'm a monster. " "Are you seeing anything right now?" Loki shook his head no. "Are you hearing anything other than TJ and I?"

Loki spoke quietly. "Not now. No but I hear them screaming at me at night, telling me I killed her." She wrote it down on the chart before giving a small smile to TJ and walking out of the room.

While Simmons was putting Lokis blood through a system to test anti-anxiety medication Fitz came over. "Aren't you just a little uncomfortable that we have Loki, the god of mischief in our bunker?" Simmons gave him a sad look. "He's no threat Fitz. He has no powers or magic, his mind is gone and he's terrified. He's no threat Fitz and even if he had ill intentions he's nearly as human as the rest of us without his magic." He pouted, hating she was right. "I suppose. Just odd. I just have to get used to I guess."

TJ came up to then, Loki having gone back to sleep. "My family went through the same thing. They found it odd a supposed super villain living in our house but then they saw how damaged he is and how in need of help he is. He's no threat Fitz, he's just damaged. Thanks to his A+ dad and his parenting skills. "

Simmons spoke next. "What happened? If it's alright to ask." TJ sighed, sitting down. "Normally I wouldn't tell his past without him to give permission but it could aid his recovery. Back when Loki first came to earth, when my sister and I were barely five years old, he got defeated. We all know what happened but when he was back in Asguard, he didn't face their justice. He faced Odin and Odin decided to change him into a baby, press the restart button but he abused him, claimed he was being punished for past deeds but Loki had no memory of his first encounter of earth. He was only fed bread and water. If he stole fruit or ate something he wasn't supposed to Odin would whip him or force him to vomit up the food. He kept him locked away and he eventually broke out, got involved with the wrong people who said they would protect him from Odin if he did what they wanted. Since Lokis attack part two, he was defeated again and kept on the Hellicarrier until Odin could take him. Odin came and instead of taking him to face justice, he was going to be executed. My mom and I were the only ones to see how damaged he was and my mom faced Odin, telling him he just needs love. He's just broken. So Odin stripped him of his magic, left him defenseless and since then he's been with us. "

Simmons frowned but suddenly there was a loud bang, almost an explosion. TJ was the first up. "What was that?" Fitz went to the computer, typing and bringing up the outside cameras. "Uhhh it's Thor?" TJ relaxed and started running to the front, going to Coulson to let him know it's a friendly.

A few minutes later the doors were open by Coulson and Thor walked in, looking worried. "Son of coul, I wish I were on better conditions but where is my brother?" TJ spoke. "Sir, is ok if I show him?" Coulson nodded. "Go right ahead." TJ nodded, signaling for Thor to follow.

TJ frowned. "How did you find out?" "Heimdal. He told me Loki was in trouble. What has happened?" TJ sighed, getting to the room that held Loki. "It's a long story."

Thor looked inside the room, seeing Loki curled in a corner of the room, mumbling to himself, nearly pulling his hair.

TJ told him the story and how Loki lost his mind. "It's likely temporary. He should recover now that he's in a more stable environment." Thor clasped a large hand on TJs shoulder. "I am sorry for you loss, son of Stark but I believe it will not hold your family down for long." TJ couldn't help but smile. "Thanks point break." Suddenly Simmons was running over with a pill and water. "I think I found an anti-anxiety that could work-" She stopped when she saw Thor. He studied her a moment. "Are you the doctor taking care of my brother?"

She swallowed nervously. "Yes?" He walked up to her. "Please, take good care of my brother. He is dear to me." She could only nod as she walked over to TJ. "I think I found an anti-anxiety that could work, do you want to try it?" Before TJ could answer Thor spoke up. "This pill? Will it help put his mind at ease?" She looked at him. "It's supposed to but with his biology it may not work. I gave this one a few tests with his blood samples and it was accepted." Thor nodded, looking at TJ who nodded as well. "Let's try it. I'll go in with you. " Simmons nodded.

They went in, Thor staying inside, not wanting to startle Lokis fragile mind.

He watched them, seeing Loki relax into TJ, helping him take the pill and water. TJ had stayed in the room, watching them. Watching how careful and loving The younger stark was to his brother. It warmed his heart that Loki had someone care about him so much.

After about 45 minutes there was a small conversation between the two and TJ was helping Loki stand up, leading him to the door. Thor backed away, giving them space.

The door opened and Loki and TJ came out. this arms wrapped around Loki. Loki saw Thor and was t sure how to react. "Thor? Is it true? You're here?" Thor smiled softly. "Your not seeing things brother. I have come to help you, if you would like." Loki had tears in his eyes and he broke away from TJ, rushing Thor with a hug, his voice thick. "I've missed you." Thor hugged him carefully. "I've missed you as well. It's good to see you walking around." TJ gave a smile there way. "Loki was actually about to get something to eat." Thor smiled. "That's wonderful!

Skye was the only one in the kitchen, munching on some chips when they walked in.

Her chip fell when she saw Thor. "Whoa...hey." Thor waved. "Hello young one. I am Thor." She smiled. "Yeah, I know who you are." She saw TJ and Loki and smiled. "Hey guys, hungry?" Loki was shy, TJ speaking for him. "Just something small. Fruit?" She nodded, putting a bowl of fruit together.

After Loki ate a bit TJ left him alone with Thor in the kitchen as he went to a quiet area to call his parents.

Kim, Tony and Clint were watching TV when Kim's phone rang. She picked it up, smiling, seeing it was TJ. "Hey, how is everything going?" "Great, actually. He's already walking and eating and socializing. Simmons, one of the doctors here, managed to find a medication that works for him. So far so good, he took it an hour ago. Thor is here to." "What? How?" Tony and Clint looked over, looking worried. TJ continued. "Apparently Heimdal was watching and when Loki was moved back into Shield, Thor was notified. Right now he and Loki are catching up. I think it's good for him. Help him feel a little less alone."

After that the phone was passed back and fourth between Clint and Tony and by the time they were done talking they forgot it could be on speaker.

Thor was telling Skye all kinds of war stories, funny stories of Asguard and Loki felt like he was home. It made a small smile Grace his face. Simmons came to Loki with a smile. "Looks like the medication worked." Loki nodded. "I haven't seen or heard anything other than you all. So far it is working and I thank you." She smiled. "Since you will be here still , do you like reading or have any hobbies?" "I love reading but I've never given much thought to a hobby." "I think I know just the thing. They'll be in your room by tomorrow night." "Thank you, so much." Simmons smiled and walked away. TJ came back into the room, seeing Simmons leave. "I'm back. Sorry I had to go. I promised I'd call every day."

They all stayed up a little more, talking and eating. TJ couldn't help but watch Loki. Seeing life come back to his eyes. He no longer being tormented and haunted by his own mind. He was himself again. Almost. He knows there's still a long road to go. Loki yawned and TJ took that as a cue to go to bed. He helped Loki stand and wished them all a good night.

When they were half way to Lokis room, Loki held Tjs hand tightly, looking at him so hopeful. "Stay with me?" TJ felt his eyes water but he tried to control himself. "Yeah. Of course." TJ got his things in his room and when he came back Loki was sitting in bed, watching the screen which now held a forest during a thunderstorm, the sounds soothing.

He came to the bed, looking looking up at him as he walked over. TJ couldn't help himself anymore. He sat next to Loki, wrapping him so tightly and kissing his head. "It's so nice to have you back. I wasn't sure I'd see you again." Loki smiled sadly, pulling away, wiping his tears. "Shhh I'm here. The medication Simmons gave me is working wonderfully. I feel..calm. I don't hear voices or screaming. I don't see anything. I feel like me. " TJ smiled, kissing him, holding him tightly to himself.

Loki responded, wrapping his long arms around his lovers shoulders. It became more passionate, opening his mouth to him, feeling the familiar but greatly missed sensation of excitement. He felt himself become hard.

TJ must have known or felt it because he was pinned to the bed, kisses and nips going down his neck while capable hands traveled under his night shirt to feel soft skin.

He moaned out, breathy and wanting more. Soon clothes were thrown to the floor, not caring about cameras watching. As TJ went back to kiss Lokis kiss-swollen lips, his hand traveling between them, grabbing both their cocks.

Lokis gasped into the kiss, arching just slightly as TJ stroked both. TJ moaned, nearly hiding his face in Lokis neck. It had been so long since they've been intimate.

Loki gasped, feeling the familiar burn in his belly. He was going to come. He wrapped his hands in TJ's hair, pulling it while he moaned and gasped through his orgasm. White spurts falling in his stomach and TJs hand. "Ahhh I love you..."

TJ wasn't far behind. Feeling Loki twitch in his hand was enough. He groaned, coming as well. Their fluids mixing. "I love you too..." He gasped out.

He came down from his high, giving Loki a kiss before sitting up and going to the private bathroom for a rag. He came back and cleaned both of them before climbing into bed.

Loki smiled to him, softly and lovingly. He kissed that smile and held him close, vowing to protect him no matter what. Even if it's from his own mind. He held him as they drifted off to sleep. The first good rest he's had in a month.

Meanwhile up in the sky, a little girl was watching through a portal. She was watching Quinn and Gage sleep together for the first time in a month. She was watching the family mourn and heal. She had dark, chestnut hair and large dark eyes.

"Little one, come away from the portal. I told you you aren't old enough to watch." Michael said as he walked over. She frowned. "I know. I just miss them." Micheal sighed, picking her up. "You will see them in no time Emily. For now there is training. " she pouted. Michael couldn't help but chuckle. So much like her mother. So much fire.
