Chapter 4


[Loki POV]

As much as I hate to admit it, Luka was right.

There is no where on earth I could go without the chance of being caught by the Avengers.

I do not prefer cages, I've had my fill.

" What is this place called and what is a farmhand? "

" This place is Sprice Ranch and a farmhand is a person who helps with the heavy lifting and helps take care of the animals. In this case, it's horses." She comments, grabbing a second cup of the dark drink and hands it to me as well as a bowl of fruit.

"I see. " I say and eye the cup and it's contents.

" Apple or banana?" Luka prompts, grabbing a banana

I say nothing. My stomach growls on the silence, and I stare at her.

" Haha " she chuckles. My stare morphs into a glare as I take an apple from the bowl. As I take a bite, I see her study me, mainly my forearm.

"Alrighty then, how about some new bandages for your leg and arm? " she asks, slightly jarring me by how suddenly she speaks her words.

"...That would be better." I contemplate.

" Great, I'll get the bandages for a new dressing." Luka says as she dissapears down the hallway.

I prod at my bandaging on my arm, waiting for her to come back. I have to say, this woman is smart, not like the sheep of Earth.

She comes back in the room with a clear box that has a red cross brand on the top. She opens the box and takes out bandages, med tape, and a blue bottle.

"Will you need help changing your bandages? " Luka asks me.

" That's quite alright, I am not helpless." I say quickly.

" Ok den, Mr. I-can-do-this-shit-by-myself." She says, backing up a little, with her hands up in a surrendering motion.

I glare at her choice of words and see her get up and grab a little box off the counter, press a button towards a bigger box on the wall to my right. Luka immediately groans as to who is shown on the screen.

" A few months after The Avengers rescue on New York City, Tony Stark, aka Iron Man, and the other Avengers have decided to host a small gala in Avengers Tower, formally known as STARK Tower, in honor of their first few months as a team and celebrating their first win that made them the group they are today... " On the screen, are Thor and his team, at a small interview inside, what I assume is, their training room, explaining and talking about the event in the following week.

" ...Always on the damn news.." I hear Luka mumble.

" I take it you aren't fond of the Avengers then? " I ask curiously, remembering her comment earlier, putting away the extra bandages in the box.

She sighs audibly, giving me a look of exasperation.

" There are other things the news could talk about. I wouldn't know what, because all the news is about is the Avengers!" Her voice climbs at her every word.

" Yes they saved the planet, yes they are our protectors, yes I do thank them, but that's all everyone talks about these days." she sighs again.

" I kinda feel bad for em'."

" Why would you?" I ask, a bit put off at her sudden change of heart.

" Everyone is always up their asses, about everything in their lives. I have no doubt about it, that they don't have a moment's peace outside of that tower." she says sympathetically at the big screen.


AN: Sorry to cut it off short didn't know what much else to put. In writer's block, I hate it.
