Chapter 7: Memory Lane

"I'm backkk!" Wanda chimed. She burst into your room dragging Loki with her.

"Why is he here?" You pointed to raven haired god.

"Oh, I don't know. You seem to like him and after last nights fiasco, you need emotional support." She closed the door and Loki agreed. He sat on your bed with Wanda.

"I'm fine." You sighed. Wanda reached out to touch you which made you flinch.

"No you're not, you're obviously still heartbroken over Lilly," Loki said for her.

"Look at you go Captain Obvious!" You exclaimed sarcastically. That earned an eye roll from them both.

"Y/n, we're trying to help.." Wanda sighed after a while.

"Fine, what do you want to help with?"

"Well, we thought it would be best if we distracted you from Lilly."

"Okay.."

"Yeah lets play 20 questions!" Wanda exclaimed. She sat behind you and started to braid your hair like she always did.

"Ok, one of you go first." You mumbled.

"Allright, what is your favorite color?" Loki asked.

"F/c. How old are you?" You asked.

"1048."

"Old man.." Wanda joked, "Ok, y/n how old were you when your powers first manifested?"

"I was 13 and protecting myself from my uncle.." She only nodded at your response.

"How many places have you lived in?" You asked Wanda.

"Sokovia with my parents, then a Hydra base with my brother and now here!" she chirped.

"What about you old man?"

"Just Asgard."

"Hmm ok, what about you y/n?" Wanda asked.

"First Georgia with my parents but I don't remember that, then Tennessee with my uncle, Ohio for about a month, Illinois by myself then with Lilly after a year, Pennsylvania for about a year and now New York." You listed off all the places you lived while Loki and Wanda stared at you in shock.

"You moved around that much?" Wanda asked playing with your hair.

"Mhm, I had to." You replied.

"Why?" Loki asked.

"I didn't want people after me because of my powers. I got caught once and thats when I had to leave Lilly. Once the Avengers assembled here in New York I decided this would be the place where I wouldn't have to use my powers." You replied with a sigh. The pair nodded and comforted you some more. You had to admit, it was fun having friends again.

You emerged from your room with Wanda and Loki after about an hour.

"Look its the telepath trio!" Tony announced your presence.

"Yes it gets so exhausting listening to your thoughts so we had to retreat." You replied. He laughed and hoped you were joking.

"Did you guys know how old Reindeer Games is?" Wanda asked the group after plopping down on the couch.

"Isn't he like 1000 years old?" Steve asked.

"Something like that.." Loki grumbled before taking his usual spot in the armchair.

"So anyway, as I was saying, we're having a party in a couple days.." Tony's voice continued on as he discussed a party he was hyping up.

*

"You would love the party's from where I'm from." Lilly whispered in your ear as you danced with her on your patio.

"You haven't told me where your from." You chuckled and twirled her around.

"Not from Midgard." She hummed.

"I like that you call Earth, Midgard." You replied.

*

The flashback faded and you were brought back to reality. Tony was still droning on about his party but Wanda and Loki were now looking at you.

What?! You communicated to the both of them.

We saw that flashback. Wanda replied.

Why were you looking?

We weren't it was almost like we were being forced to see it. Loki replied. He blocked off his thoughts again after that. Something about Lilly seemed familiar to him. Something about you seemed familiar to him. You turned your attention back to Tony who was now talking about some random video he saw on the internet.

*

You tossed and turned in your bed trying not to think about Lilly, or your uncle, or your parents. You had new friends now. Everyone in your past is dead.

You sat up. You were not getting any sleep tonight. You decided to go check on Loki. It had been a couple day since you saw him hurt himself.

Before you could knock on his door, it swung open. Loki was sitting up in his bed reading a book.

"What do you want?" He asked.

"I wanted to check on you," you replied and made your way over to his bed. He closed his book and looked at you. If he was looking for a lie he wasn't going to find anything.

"Why?"

"Because, you helped me today and I know your not doing so great.."

"I'm doing fine." He snapped.

"Oh yeah? Show me your arms then." He did but there was an illusion over them.

"Without the illusion." He was confused on how you could see his illusions but he dropped them and revealed his scarred arms. You reached out to grab his hand but he retracted his arms.

"I'm fine. Now go." He growled.

"No, talk to me. Why did you do this to yourself?"

"Family stuff."

"What kind of family stuff?" You pressed, desperate for something to help with.

"My father."

"What about him?"

"He's a liar." He looked hurt and uncomfortable so you didn't press anymore. You stood up and said goodnight before going back to your room to attempt sleep.
