Little angel

(5) comfort

Loki's POV:

On the way to ivory's room I met my brother who was just as alarmed as I am. Opening the door her screams and pleads are even louder. What is she dreaming about to have her in tears like this? Brother tells Jarvis to record what's happening so this can be shown to the others later to try and understand this better, maybe we need to talk to Bruce or something. I climb up the ladder and lay beside her, holding her to my chest hoping my heart beat was calm enough to cool her off. Throughout the entire night me and my brother were by her side taking shifts in case she had another fit.

Ivory's POV:

I'm walking around in the never ending darkness, I call out "hello?" Continuing to wander through out the empty abyss, the sound of people talking got louder and louder until I'm met with two large adults. One man, one woman. They both had brown hair but I couldn't see their eyes, I couldn't cry for help, I couldn't do...anything.
The adults began yelling at me constantly 'Freak!''just die already!' 'Stop whining' 'why did I give birth to you?!' The yelling never stopped, I was in chains stuck listening to their shouting even covering my ears didn't muffle the sounds. Soon the pain in my heart from their words turned to actual physical pain when the man threw a bottle at me cutting my arms, the woman smacked me across the face. The pain never stopped. No matter how much I screamed for help no one came.

Suddenly the yelling stopped and I felt something warm cover me. I need to find my happy place and keep the bad adults away. Just think about the avengers. I hug the warmth, burying my face into it sobbing and struggling to breathe. It stayed beside me the whole night keeping me safe and every now and again I would feel the warmth hug me. It made me feel safe. Then it was cold.

I jolted up struggling to breathe, holding my throat I look around the room in a panic. Then a black haired man comes into view, a sigh of relief leaves me when I see Loki. He sits on my bed and I hug him again crying. I expected him to push me away or to be cold but he was warm just like in my dream and he hugged me back, comforting me throughout my crying. Once I had finally calmed down he lifted my chin to look at him, he showed a tired weary smile "your safe as long as you've got us okay?" I nod burying my face into him.

Thor's POV:

Through the night we stayed up watching her to make sure she didn't have another fit in her sleep. Thankfully she didn't. Loki takes the last shift around 7:45 and I lay down on the ground in hopes of getting some sleep. I hear the ladder creak a little as Loki climbs up, I think nothing of it and start to doze off. Until I hear her crying again I shot up, only to see Loki comforting the small thing in his arms. I knew he had a soft spot. He looks over at me and we both nod, I take this as my chance to go get Tony and Fury to tell them about last nights events.

~after Jarvis showed Tony and Fury the footage of her screaming and crying~

"From what both of us grasped, this was from before she was left in the forest. So it's likely her parents weren't just neglectful but also abusive." I put my hands in my face "are we any closer to finding these monsters?" Fury is angry, and there goes another pen, snapped clean in half. Tony nods and starts explaining their plan to lock up ivory's 'parents'.
