I did exactly what I told Tony what I was going to do. So currently I have messed up mascara and a broken bathroom mirror. I may have punched it a few to many times. Thankfully with these stupid arms, I am not bleeding.

My hands wrap around the sink counter as I look at the broken mirror laying in the sink. Little water droplets fall from my face onto the pieces. I feel so childish, this PTSD is kicking my butt. I know I am stronger than this, so why am I crying, I need to get over this. He will never escape my nightmares, but why does he need to be in my daydreams. Maybe I should talk to a therapist.

I don't really feel like leaving the tower to talk to a stranger about my problems. Plus I think they are really expensive, I don't think Tony wants those charges on his card. He is already triggered that he is paying for my monthly bills on netflix. Bless his soul.

Shaking my head I leave the bathroom, walking into my connected bedroom. "Hey FRIDAY, can you tell Tony he has to buy me a new mirror for my bathroom."

"Sure thing, he has just been notified."

I pull the covers back as I crawl into bed. Once the covers wrap around my shoulder, I let sleep consume me. Tony will be in here tomorrow morning ranting about how I broke the mirror. I really love those wake up calls, note the sarcasm.

A few months later

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Tony!!? How come you let Steve back into the Avengers, didnt he break the law?" A reporter asks the billionaire on stage.

"He came crawling back once he knew he can't live without me. SInce he did break the law, he has about 60 hours of community work for the state." Tony shrugs before taking a sip of water.

"It happened just a few months ago?"

"Yeah, and? He has his reasons."

More reporters pipe up trying to ask their most wanted question. A male in a dark blue suit grabs a hold of the microphone.

"I have a question for the queen...."

I drown out on what he wants to say. 'The queen', thats what everyone is calling her ever since she went public. She has been fighting alongside the stupid Avengers. She is supposed to be with me! She is my queen, but she choose them over me! After everything I have done for her. I need to change that. We could be dominating the world together, maybe even kill the Avengers together.

"-he has helped me a lot."

I start listening once I hear (y/n) talking. "Loki has helped me through a lot since I last saw him. Loki listens as I pour my heart out to him, he has been such a great help and I thank him all the time."

"I am always here to help you darling." the camera pans over to this 'Loki'.

"Do you guys have something going on that we don't know about? Are you guys dating?" the reporter asks.

I hold my breath, "No don't worry. Loki is the first person new that I fully trust. We actually first met each other a few months ago, surprisingly after everything that has happened. We clicked very easily."

"That is what she thinks, me on the other hand....." Loki trails on a smile on his lips.

The crowd goes wild, making me angry. Out of anger I punch a hole into the television, making the interview disappear. My eyes move to my bulletin board. The majority of newspaper clippings fill the whole board, some taped to the wall beside it.

I make my way towards it, reading the headlines.

NEW MEMBER OF THE AVENGERS; THE QUEEN

THE QUEEN TAKES DOWN FOUR HYDRA BASES ALONE

THE AVENGERS TAKE DOWN THE REST OF HYDRAS BASES

CAPTAIN AMERICA BACK WITH AVENGERS?

TONY STARK INVITES ALL TO AVENGERS TOWER TO CELEBRATE THE TAKEDOWN

WHERE IS THE WINTER SOLDIER? DEAD OR ALIVE?

I grab a hold of the last clippings. They only care if the assassin is still out there, they want to know if they are safe to live their lives in peace.

If only they knew.
