That was how Gage and Tony found Quinn and TJ. In the lab, TJ asleep, his head on her lap with Quinn petting his hair, silently crying. They both rushed over but Quinn spoke before they could ask. "He knows." Her voice thick from emotion. Tony kneeled to TJ, hand on his shoulder. He tensed, looking up at Quinn. "How?" Gage let out a breath. "Loki. Clint came to me, said TJ knew because Loki had some kind of breakdown.-" "Help is needed in TJ's room. I repeat urgent help is needed in TJ's room." JARVIS spoke throughout the house. Tony, Gage and Quinn all looked at each other, all thinking the same thing.

Loki attempted to kill himself. It was known TJ had many knives in his room, hidden and not hidden. Quinn gently got up, letting her dad take over with TJ. "Watch him." Gage just watched as Quinn ran out of the room. She got the medical kit from the closet in the hall. Her dad demanded they get the paramedic class kit. Which was a duffle bag of medical equipment. While getting the bag she saw her mom running into the hall with blood on her hands and dress and tears going down his face. "Quinn! Please he needs help.." Quinn went to her mom. "How bad is it?" Kim swallowed. "Bad. He slit his writs and tried to slit his throat but he must have been too weak at that point." Quinn nodded. "I'l help him, don't worry. He'l be ok." Quinn took off running up the stairs, to TJ's room, going inside.

She had to keep her head, and keep composure. But there was blood everywhere. On the floor, the bed, the rugs. Any cloth or boxers that were lying around. Clint had loki's wrists in his hands, wrapped in two teee shirts but didn't look like they were working. She nodded to Clint, kneeling down to Loki as Clint let go of his hands. He was pale, so horribly pale as she opened the duffle bag, getting out gauze and peroxide and needles and stitching. She checked if Loki was even awake or aware. He wasn't. She looked up at Clint."First thing to do is stop the bleeding. Heres some gauze. Make a tourniquet on his arms and start putting pressure on his wrists. I have to clean up the excess blood." Clint nodded, getting to work creating tourniquets and putting pressure on the wounds. She started cleaning up the excess blood on him. "JARVIS, keep me alerted on his vitals." "of corse mam."

Once she cleaned up the blood Clint spoke. "I think he's bleeding stopped." She nodded as he gently took away the gauze strip's on his wrists. They were oozing a little but the major bleeding has stopped. She inspected it. "Shit. No wonder he bled out so fast." She got the stitching ready and started stitching his wrist up. Clint watched in amazement. "How do you know how to stitch?" She shrugged. "I've seen enough to get an idea plus I work with delicate things on the amour all the time. This isn't that difficult." Once the one wrist was stitched up, she put some antibiotic cream on it before putting the gauze on, wrapping it around several times. Then she did the other wrist then inspected his neck. There was a small line with a little blood coming out but nothing serious. She cleaned it off, putting some cream on it. "Help me get him to the lab? Theres a medical bed down there." Clint nodded, gently picking up Loki. Quinn made sure his wrists were by his chest and elevated.

Tony and Gage had gotten TJ to the sofa were he was still asleep but watching over him. Kim had changed and was down there petting TJ's hair as he slept when Clint and Quinn came from the elevator, carrying Loki to the small medical section of the mansion. They laid him on the bed, covering him up and hooking up a heart monitor to him along with a breathing tube under his nose and a few other tubes. Gage watched Quinn in awe. She was covered in blood. Her face,, hands, clothing, same as Clint. But neither seemed to care as they helped Loki. Once Loki was laying in bed both looked at each other in some form of "what the hell just happened?" Gage nearly ran over to Quinn. "Are you ok?" She gave him a look. "I'm fine but I can't say the same for our God of Mischief. He lost alot of blood. Were gonna have to burn half of TJ's room. There was blood everywhere." Clint spoke. 'Should we notify S.H.I.E.L.D? Or Coulson about this? They could help clean up the room.I mean any other place we call is gonna have some questions as to why we didn't call 911 and have a working tiny hospital in the lab." Tony sighed. "He's right. I'l call Agent, tell him everything." Quinn sighed, looking to Gage. "How's TJ doing?" "Still asleep. He must have not gotten alot of sleep last night. Still out."Quinn smirked weakly. "He did have a date with Loki last night." Gage nodded, not getting it. Until he did. His eyes widened. "Oh." She chuckled. "How are you more innocent then me?"

After a few hours TJ was waking up, Tony sitting across from him. "Dad?" Tony smiled sadly. "Yeah. How you feeling? You've been out for a few hours." He sat up, stretching. "Not bad-" He stopped himself, remember why he was in the lab. He looked at Tony, his eyes watering. "I'm sorry. Loki told me how many I...I ...killed during his invasion." Tony reached his hand out, holding his shoulder. "You have nothing to be sorry for. It wasn't your fault he told you to do those things or put you under his control." "It wasn't his fault either. Not totally anyway. Theres alot he's not telling us. Where is he?" Tony let out a breath. "I have some news you won't like about him." TJ was still, eyes wide, thinking of the worst. "He tried to kill himself today during his break down. Quinn and Clint helped him. He's down here in the medical section of the lab. He...he lost alot of blood. He may be in a coma or may may wake up in a few hours." TJ felt his lip tremble but put his head in his hands before hos dad could see. He got his composure, standing and looking for Loki when he saw the hospital bed with him in it. He nearly ran over, looking him over, seeing his wrists bandaged up with gauze. Wires and monitors attached to him.

"I did this." Tony walked over to him. "Not everything is on your shoulders." "This is." TJ's lip trembled. "Those kids in the school, that woman... I left him alone in my room when he obviously shouldn't have been alone. I was just too caught up thinking of how many I killed, that everyone lied to me about it." Tony put his hand on his shoulder. "We did it to protect you. Anything we do, we do it to protect you and Quinn. Mom." He nodded, a few tears falling. "May I have some time alone with loki? I promise I won't do anything stupid." Tony nodded, kissing his head before walking out of the lab.

TJ sucked in a breath, gently holding Loki's hands, tears steadily falling. "God...Loki. I'm so sorry. I did this to you. If i wasn't so selfish..please just wake up. I don't know what to do if you don't." He stood there, holding Loki's pale hand to his cheek, sobbing like a child. Of all the times to realize he loves someone.

Once Quinn showered and cleaned herself of all the blood that got on her, she was feeling exhausted and drained. She was in new cloths, hair still wet as she walked out of her Private bathroom in her room. She saw Gage was sitting on her bed, waiting for her no doubt. Without needing asked she walked herself over into his arms that were open the moment she got close, nearly collapsing into him. He wrapped his arms around her, holding her close. He felt her shudder a few times, trying so hard not to break down. He kissed her head. "Hey, you did amazing today. When everyone else was in a panic, you knew what to do. Loki's alive thanks to you. I'm so damn proud of you princess." She started crying into his shoulder, gripping his shirt, heaving sobs into him. He kissed her head, unable to imagine the pain she must be feeling. She was able to feel the emotions of those around her, granted if shes close to them, Like TJ. He already knew she was literally taking his pain away thru her gift. But it wasn't taken away, it was absorbed. She absorbed all her brothers pain. All the fear, guilt that was eating away at him.

It was an hour and a half later that Coulson and his team showed up. Tony went to the door, shaking his hand. "I'd like to say it's nice to see you but every time I see you the world is ending." Coulson nodded in understanding. "It's nice to see you as well. Can you tell me what happened?" Tony let out a breath, looking to Kim and Clint in the living room, having a cup of tea before looking back at Coulson. "Loki tried to kill himself. Slit his wrists, a bloody mess." Skye stepped forward, frowning. "Is he ok?" Tony nodded. "Yeah, at the moment. He lost alot of blood. Slit his wrists in TJ's room. According to him he had a small breakdown. Now it's not so small. We need help cleaning up and we can't just call 911 or whoever you call cause hey, this is Loki-" Coulson held up a hand, seeing how Tony was rambling. "I understand. We'l get on it right away." Coulson turned to Skye, fitz and Simmons. "Get the cleaning equipment out, will escort you to the room." Fitz and Simmons both nodded before walking out. Skye looked back at Coulson. "Is it ok if i see Loki?" Coulson looked at Tony for an answer. Tony nodded. He trusted anyone Coulson hand picked. "Yeah. But I'l supervise." Skye smiled weakly before following him.

They got to the lab, Tony went in first. "Uh TJ, you up for visitors? Someone from Coulson's team wanted to see how Loki was doing?" TJ was sitting by Loki's bed, he looked over, eyes red from tears. He looked back. "If you trust them, yeah." Tony signaled for Skye to walk inside. He stood out side the doors, watching as she looked around. She saw TJ. "Oh, i didn't know anyone else was down here." TJ nodded, standing. "Names TJ. That guy behind the doors is my dad." Skye nodded before getting back to the issue. "How is he doing? Loki I mean. I heard what happened." TJ let out a breath. "He's been out for 3 hours. He lost alot of blood."

Skye walked closer but not daring touch. She had a hard time believing this was Loki, the trickster god. "Wow. This is really Loki isn't it?" "Yeah. Real deal isn't exactly what you think he is." She nodded. "I'm sorry, about this happening." He saw the look in her eye. "You've attempted, havnt you?" She looked over at him, a sad look in her eyes. "Yeah. Twice. Once I overdosed on medication and another i tried walking into oncoming traffic." TJ nodded, looking up at her. "I'm sorry."

She shrugged. "It's the past. It's over now. What about you?" TJ let out a breath. "Never attempted. Only thought about." "but arnt you like...super rich and live with super heroes?" TJ shrugged. "It's not as glamorous as everyone thinks it is.I mean I'm Tony Starks son. I live in his shadow whenever we go to a Gala or Expo." She nodded. "people expect you to be like him?" "Yeah.. Everyone but my own family." Skye smiled. "You got a good family then." TJ smiled softly. "Yeah. I do." He looked over at Loki, holding his hand. "I just hope he can realize there his family to when he wakes up." Skye looked sadly to them, wishing there was more she could do. "I'm gonna go back to the team. It was nice meeting you." TJ nodded. "same." Skye walked out of the lab, Tony escorting her back up when suddenly TJ felt Loki's grip on his wrist, gripping as tightly as possible. He looked over, nearly gasping. "Loki." Loki was awake, eyes looking at him, pleading. Voice raspy as he spoke. "why... am ...I alive?"
