Chapter 27/ Epilogue: So this is the end
Alexis POV
I couldn't sleep. After everything that had happened I was exhausted but my mind was wide awake. I couldn't help thinking that this was the only chance I would get to speak to Jessi alone. I sighed and swung my legs out of bed into my slippers then teleported downstairs so I was directly in front of the holding cell. Jessi was sat there, almost as if she was expecting me.
"You came then finally." She said. She was looking at me, but not at me, as if I was a ghost.
"Yep. I thought you'd like a friendly face before Bruce injects the truth serum tomorrow." I said sarcastically and plonked my butt on the spinny chair which was in front of the control panel.
"They won't get anything out of me. Truth serums won't work." Her voice was laced with confidence. Cocky bitch.
"Trust me we will. We'll get every single dirty secret you ever had. Never under estimate us, or we may "lose control" of the amount of drugs we use on you. Not all of us are scared of Fury you know." I replied mockingly.
She shook her head and chuckled under her breathe.
"You really are stupid aren't you? You don't get it. I'm immune to every single truth serum you can think of. I made sure of it."
"Seriously, is that the best you can think of? Immunisation to drugs is ancient. We have two geniuses, two Asgardians, a bunch of baddass know-it-all's which in includes Steve, and a bunch of magic users. We won't be stopped. Now if you don't mind I'll ask you what I came down here for. You obviously weren't working alone. Who gave you access to all the equipment, all the men because ant have no power over the boot do they, sewer rat?" I was enjoying this. She was still the annoying bitch who always underestimated me. Leopards never change their spots, do they?
"You'll work it out. They're after you, and it's for more than a grudge. You hold a certain… quality which they require, and your little pawns won't be able to save you. Now, where's room service." She flashed me a grin. I spun the chair and pressed a button. A gallon of freezing water got dumped on Jessi's head, and she screamed. I flicked my hair and walked out. Oh the sweet taste of pay back.
I headed up to the kitchen to find popcorn. Sitting on one of the bar stools was Luke. I sauntered over and sat next to him.
"I cut again Lexi. I was clean. That bitch, she pushed me too far. The drug, it was almost nice. I was at peace."
"Well it bloody well wasn't for me and Jake. I couldn't see you like that." I leaned over and gave him a hug.
"Oh god, I'm getting a hug."
"Shut up idiot." I pulled back. "You can't let yourself get that down again hun. One day it'll push you too far. Come find me if you get down, Kapeesh?" He may have hurt me, but we needed to help each other. I pulled the necklace over my head and put it over his. He gave me a ghost of a smile.
"Lex, what are we going to do? Should we stay here or shall we run away? Go back to how we were, wild, free."
"I can't go back to that. I'm a different now to who I was, and we're Avengers. We can't just turn our backs on the world."
"I think I'm going to take that placement in Switzerland. I need to get away from here. I'll come back though." He looked almost scared of how I was going to react.
"Go for it. It's your life and it's not like you're going AWOL like I did. I came always come visit." He looked almost relieved. "Does Jake know?" Luke shook his head.
"I'm thinking about breaking up. He wouldn't want to leave, and he's been acting weird at the moment." Luke looked like he was about to burst into tears. I hugged him again, and this time he let me.
"What kind of weird hun?" I murmured into his ear.
"He's hiding stuff from me, and he's being really hypocritical of me."
I pulled back. "Then maybe it's for the best. Do you want to go sleep in my room, and then do it in the morning?" He nodded.
"Night Lex and thanks."
"Any time hun." He turned around and walked out. It felt weird talking things over without the link but it was for the best.
I stood up and then went to the popcorn cupboard. I eat so much of it that I have my own cupboard for it, like Thor had a Pop Tart cupboard. Wait; make that Pop Tart room, he eats that many. We have a 10-at-a-time toaster just so he can have them. I got out the toffee popcorn and began to stand up.
"Can I have some." Said a voice from behind me. It scared the life out of me, and my head shot up. Straight into the cupboard door. Aw hell. I turned around I saw Jack failing to keep a straight face.
"Because of that, no. Anyway, no one eats my popcorn." I said, with a childish frown at my face. He bent over laughing, and then so did I.
"God sunshine stop being so over protective. Wanna watch NCIS with me?" he leans on the counter, giving me a cheesy seductive grin. Seriously, I'm taken.
"YES!" I scream and jump over the couch. I LOVE NCIS.
Jack follows me, and tries to grab some of my popcorn. I slap his hand away. God, does this guy have a sponge for a head?
About halfway through Jack starts to fidget awkwardly. I look at him expectantly. He only fidgets when he's trying to ask something.
"Um, sunshine, has everything been alright with you and Loki? It's just that you haven't spoken with him since like, before you um…" The subject I didn't want to breach. Shit.
"Died? I know. He's been really moody since the ball thing. I don't know what to about it. I want to stay with him, but I think we've run our course." I looked down at my popcorn, trying not to cry. I felt an arm around my neck, and leant onto Jack's chest. He began to stroke my hair.
"I think we have." I turned around to see Loki in the doorway. I stand up and face him.
"So this is the end of you and me." I say it as a fact, but it feels like a question.
I'm sorry babe but it's not right to string you along. I just don't li-
End it right there. I know where this is going.
We look into each other's eyes. He turns away and walks down the corridor. I turn around and run to the couch. Jack opens his arms and I fall into him and cry. I fall asleep on his chest, with tears still streaming down my face.
Next day
When I wake up the links gone. My head is finally silent. I hate it. Tony's tapping me and Jack on our shoulders.
"Lexi, Luke's going now. Come say good bye." I crawl off the sofa and brush all the popcorn crumbs off me. I teleport downstairs. Luke's standing in the lobby, his face red like he's been crying, arms wrapped tightly around himself as if he's trying to stop himself falling apart. I run over and hug him. We both start crying.
"So I suppose this is goodbye then." I mutter.
"Yere but only for a year or two, and I'm still an Avenger."
"Good."
Luke looks behind me, and I turn and see Jack leaning against the doorway. Luke walks over to Jack and stands in front of him.
"Look after her. Please. You did a good job of it before, better than me, and she hasn't got me and Loki to back her up anymore."
"Don't worry, I will." Luke nods then comes over to me.
"Look after yourself. I'm only a call away." A horn beeps outside. "That's my ride."
I pull him into another massive hug. Then let him go. He nods at me then walks outside.
Me and Jack walk upstairs in silence. What can we say? All the avengers were in lounge, so we headed there. When I walked in, everyone looked up at me.
"So where next bitches?"
"Lexi, language!" Tony says from the couch.
"Coming from you dad!" Everyone laughs and me and Jack just sit down before the room starts flashing red.
"Everyone suit up!" Steve shouts.
Me and Jack look at each other and roll our eyes at each other.
"Cliché!" me and Jack shout. We stand up and jump out the window. I hear Tony scream "ALEXIS!". Hehe
A/N: Heya guys, thanks for reading it to the end. I think I'm going to do a sequel because Alexis has become part of me and I have to. Also, I wanted to say this roughly based on my life. My OC's are all based on people I know and hold dear, and if you haven't guessed Alexis is based on me. Till next time!
BTW spinny chairs are awesome
