"Loki? As in the trickster God of lies?" Quinn questioned her mother. She was still in S.H.I.E.L.D medical. Since she woke up she has been doing a lot better, her vitals slowly getting better along with her anxiety. Kim nodded, Tony let out a heavy breath, speaking. "Yep." Clint stood toward the door, arms crossed while Gage was sitting half way on Quinns bed. TJ was helping Loki who was in another medical room down the hall since he collapsed. Quinn spoke again, still in shock. "I don't think you understood my question, Loki the fucking God of lies is living with us?" She glared at her mom. She never was mad at her parents, least not seriously and she hated this feeling but damn she didn't like this situation at all. Tony glared, stepping in front of Kim. "Don't speak like that to your mother and yes. Odin took his powers away so he's harmless but he's gonna be living with us." She glared, looking to the floor, feeling Gage wrap his arm around her shoulders. "for how long?"
Kim sighed. "As far as we know, permanently He's going to be another member of our family." Quinn looked up quickly. "What? No. No he is not. Loki is not my family. Remember when he forced me to be his queen or tried? The hallucinations? Remember what he did to dad? To New York for fucks sake!" "Quinn!" Tony spoke up stern. She quieted down but her temper was simmering as he walked closer. Tony glared at his daughter. "I understand your...upset about this but like it or not he is going to be living with us and he has no powers, no immortality. He's human and weak and you will have to at least act civilized." Quinn looked away, feeling her eyes well up. "After what he's done to us?" Tony knew that quiet statement was meant only for him and Quinn. He sighed, placing his hand over hers. "Yes."
Loki started to wake, his eyes fluttering. He groaned. He ached everywhere. His energy was gone, like everything was drained from him. Then he remembered. It was. He tried to move his hand to his pounding head when he felt something stopping it. He looked, seeing his hands and legs restrained. He swallowed in fear. Where they gonna experiment on him? Torture him? He started to panic, trying to break them when suddenly the door was swung open making him gasp in fear. It was Coulson and TJ following. Coulson had his gun held tightly but TJ raised his voice to Coulson, running to Loki. "Just a panic attack." Coulson looked over the situation before lowering the gun, holstering it. TJ didn't care if the director of S.H.I.E.L.D was watching as he started holding Loki's face. "It's ok, no one's gonna hurt you." "TJ, you have this under control?" Coulson spoke. TJ nodded. "Yeah, go check on the others." Coulson nodded, walking out the door.
Loki was shaking and eyes wide with fear as he weakly struggled in his restraints. Once the door closed TJ quickly started unbuckling the ties on his wrists and legs. TJ looked at him, expectant, thinking he was gonna suddenly hug him in his panic. Needing someone close, familiar. But Loki stayed still, only moving enough to situp, looking TJ in the eyes with his own watery greens. "Why are you doing this?" TJ raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean why am I doing this? Excuse me for treating you like a decent person." "But I'm not. I'm a monster. I've done so much to your family, to you. I should be locked up and punished. Not saved by the very family I've tortured all these years." TJ let out a breath. "I know you've done some shit to me and my family but if my mom says she saw good in you then you'd better believe that there is good in you. Just like I see good in you." Loki looked at TJ a moment before looking away. This was all so much to take in. How was he ever going to redeem himself for the terrible things he's done?
After some time everyone left Quinns room while she changed. Once Loki was well enough they could go home. Quinn was getting changed putting her shirt on when Gage came back in with two cups of coffee. She smiled weakly. "Didn't think I'd see coffee again." Gage tried to smile but it came off as weak before sighing. "I'll give you as much coffee as you want long as it keeps you with us." She gave him a look but he gave her the coffee. She held it, sipping it before speaking. "You ok?" He gave her a look as he leaned against the hospital bed that she was sitting on. "You just nearly died, of corse-" "It's not that. I mean I've come pretty close to death and usually your relived and crying then you calm down once everything is fine." He gave an amused snort, that lacked amusement. "Thanks for telling me about the crying part, so manly." She gave him a worried look. He wasn't sarcastic often. "Whats going on with you?" He took a long gulp of his coffee before speaking. Thinking of everything thats happened, flashing thru his mind. Justin Hammer kidnapping TJ, Quinn and Kim, That sick bastard violating his princess, her locking herself away in her lab, in her personal cave then this. "Just a hell of a week. " She swallowed, feeling a guilty lump forming. She was gonna speak but he held her hand, looking at her. "We'll talk when we get home and settled. Ok?" She nodded, sipping on her coffee then holding his face and kissing him gently. He was surprised melted into it, holding her close.
