Andy's eyes snapped open, and she groaned at the sudden light that burned her eyes. Covering her eyes, she stumbled out of bed, tripping over her boots, which sent her crashing to the floor. Moaning, she rolled onto her back, hands rested on her stomach, and that's where she stayed until Allie came skipping into her room. Allie glanced around, a confused look on her face before she noticed the girl lying on the floor.
"Andy, sweetie, why are you on the floor?" Allie asked, helping the older girl up. "Well, you see, what happened was, I was momentarily blinded, and I ended up tripping on my boots. And, I decided to stay in one place to avoid any more harm to my person." She stated in a matter-of-fact tone. Allie nodded skeptically. "Right…" Awkward silence followed afterwards.
"Right, well, thank you for helping me up. I must get changed now, so leave me!" Andy shoved the other girl out of her room, and ran/tripped to her closet, falling once more inside. Groaning, she stood and grabbed a pair of black jean shorts and a green tank top. She changed into them quickly, thankfully without any hazards. She slid on some black slippers and walked out, tripping once more at her door.
"Son of a bitch! I can't walk worth shit." She cursed all the way down the hall, earning very dirty looks from every agent she passed, except a few that just laughed at her. She began making very large steps, which earned her more laughs and odd looks. Getting to the main room, she approached the table, but slipped and slammed into it.
"Mother fuck shit!" She cried, which made the occupants of the table stare at her, their eyebrows raised in question. "Today is so not my day." She fell into a chair, groaning as her leg started throbbing, a decent sized bruise already forming. She squeezed her eyes shut to stop the tears of pain that threatened to fall. Deeming her eyes dry enough to open, she glanced around the room, and noticed the worried glances she received from everyone.
"I'll be fine; I'm just a very clumsy person. Once, I sprained my ankle just stepping off a bus. Another time, I jammed my toe playing soccer. Just last summer I slammed my leg into the arm of a futon. I'll live." She said with a grin. Replaying the events of last night through her head, she sighed. They had finally captured Loki – again – and Thor has joined them.
Speaking of the God, he walked into the main room at that very moment. Banner was talking about Loki, and made a comment about the God of Mischief being crazy, and Thor went into brother mode. "Watch was you say. Loki may be beyond reason, but he is of Asgard, and he is my brother." Natasha stared drily at him. "He killed 80 people in 2 days." Thor ducked his head, "He's adopted." Andy had to clasp a hand over her mouth to smother the giggles that threatened to erupt from her.
Andy began humming a song she heard a few months ago. Humming soon turned into singing quietly. "Everybody talks, everybody talks." She sang to herself. Allie, who was sitting next to her, sang the next line to herself as well. Soon, the girls had started singing not-so-quietly. Everybody stared at them, which caused Allie to blush, but it just made Andy start singing louder. Steve smiled, Bruce chuckled, and Natasha just chuckled. "It started with a whisper!" Both girls sang loudly, and ended the song with a bow.
Everyone clapped, sans Thor, was just stared at them, a confused look etched on his handsome face. Andy smiled, a blush creeping up her cheeks. Tony Stark joined them a moment later. Andy waved at the man in the iron suit. Monique and David joined the group. Andy smiled at the couple, and the two smiled back at her, and it was an unspoken treaty.
Andy pulled her phone out of her pocket, and scrolled through the pages until she found a game to play. She was happily oblivious to everyone around her, until someone walked by, plucking the phone out of her hand. "Hey, I was playing that!" She yelled. Fury glanced down at her, before turning the phone off and depositing it in his pocket.
She huffed, crossing her arms over her chest. She had a scowl on her face, and glared at the director. Alarms suddenly went off, and Andy jumped up, everyone else following her actions. She ran down to the cell that held Loki, but it was no longer there. The God of Mischief was smiling smugly at her. "Poor little mortal. Couldn't get here in time; what a shame." Andy growled before jumping at the God, but he moved out of the way, causing her to crash to the floor.
"You're a little fucker, you know that? What, so upset about not knowing your true heritage that you have to take it out on us? Ha! You are pathetic, and you're going to pay for all of this." Andy spat with as much venom as she possessed. Loki growled, spear in hand, and was striding towards her. Before his pointed weapon made contact with her, she kicked him in the stomach, then the face. He was becoming more and more angry, and that's when the others got there.
Emily kicked at Loki's back, but he flashed out of the way, and her booted foot made contact with Andy's face. Spitting out blood, Andy picked up Coulson's gun and aimed it at the God. "Aw, poor little girl thinks that a bullet's going to hurt me. Pathetic!" He spat at her from across the room. Smiling, Andy shot two shots at the God; a warning of sorts.
Andy was momentarily distracted, and barely dodged the arrow that came flying at her. Shooting a look at Emily, she looked around wildly, looking for Loki. "Fuck, that little bastard got away!" Dodging another arrow, she ran out of the room. Seeing total destruction, she cursed. She ran to the main room, and all the bodies littering the floor.
Seeing David's black hair, she ran to him, falling to her knees. Monique wasn't too far away from him, and luckily they were both alive. "This shit just got personal." She grabbed a gun from one of the fallen agents. She ran around, shooting at people who she didn't know, and dodging bullets and arrows alike. Time flew by, and before Andy even realized, Loki had jumped onto some aircraft, and was flying away.
Andy sat against a wall, hair matted to her forehead, a big black bruise marring her pale cheek. Emily approached her, and grimaced at the state of her friend. "You look like shit." Andy laughed breathlessly. "Yeah, well, that's what happens when you try and take on someone more powerful than you." They both sighed, and were joined by Allie.
"Damn, Anderson. What happened to your face?" Andy grimaced at that use of her full first name. Her parents thought she was a boy, and named her before she was even out of the womb. She internally face-palmed at the stupidity. "Emily may or may not have kicked me…" Emily slammed her head against the wall.
Allie raised her eyebrows at the brunette. "Emily, why would you-" Emily put her hand up to stop her. "I was kicking at Loki, he zapped out of the way, and I accidentally hit Andy. Andy, I apologized to you profusely!" Andy grinned at her. "Yeah, I know, Emelia. I just like giving you a hard time."
After everything was settled down, people sitting in their beds, doctors looking after the wounded, and all the fallen agents mourned, The Avengers sat at the table, their own wounds covering them. Bruce was missing, as was Thor. Hawkeye was with them again, broken free from Loki's control. Andy was resting her head on Emily's shoulder, eyes threatening to close from exhaustion.
Steve glanced at Andy with worry. Andy slipped into a deep sleep in Emily's shoulder, completely oblivious to everyone's worried glances.
