Then it begins to smoke

Chapter 14
Anna’s Point of View
After getting Brenda to calm down, I tell JARVIS to alert the others that I’m back and that I have company,
I lock Loki in a room, deciding that it’s for the best, if it’ll make Brenda stop from hurting him, well I’ll do anything.
Peter is the first back, and he scoops him into a hug.
“You should really be more careful.” He whispers into my hair. I make a face
“Be careful? That doesn’t sound very fun.” I joke, trying to lighten the mood. Clint is the next in, followed by Nat. The two of them pull me into a hug, squeezing the air out of me.
“Don’t you- “Clint starts
“We’re just glad you’re safe.” Nat says.
After that, the rest of the Avengers filter in. Steve goes to Brenda and gives her a small hug, as if reassuring himself that she’s okay.
“So, what trouble did you get yourself into this time, Princess?” Tony asks, as he finds himself a seat on the couch.
“Well, I had an incident with Loki.” I start watching Thor’s reaction. It wasn’t very pretty.
“What? Where is the brother of mine? Is he here?” he demands, as he gets in my face. Peter jumps up, and pushes him off.
“Watch Goldilocks, maybe you should keep an eye on your brother.” Peter says. This only makes Thor angry,
“Stop! Okay, look. Loki is here, but” I say stopping Thor before he can go find him. “I have an idea.” I say, Bruce looks at me, cocking his head to the side,
“What type of idea?” he asks.
“Well, Loki has a girlfriend,” I start, Tony raises an eyebrow
“Reindeer Games, has a lady friend? I thought the crazy repelled girls.” He remarks
“I thought he was gay.” Nat says simply. Clint laughs,
“Anyways, I was thinking. How many times have we locked Loki up? How many times does he get away? Why not just keep him here? A rehab of sorts. Maybe a little freedom could do wonders for the guy?”
“Why not just throw him into outer space and leave the portal closed?” Tony asks
“Because, you didn’t see the way he acted when I saw this girl, he freaked out. I think that he might be able to change, for her. It’s not the first time someone here has changed because of someone else.” I remark, giving Tony a pointed look.
“Fine, fine. But how did he get here in the first place?” Tony asks,
“That I don’t know.” I say
“But I do,” Brenda says, “Fury said he broke out of the Hellicarrier that was holding him. He took over the mind of the guard watching over him. Convinced him to let him out. Guess his first stop was here.” She says.
I watch her, to see if she’s okay from the whole trying-to-Murder-Loki thing. But she’s not looking at me and it’s obvious that she ignoring me. Parkers. Can’t live without them, sometimes you can’t live with them either.
