The silver's tears

"Oh this fucken' headache will kill me "tony whined
"Tell me about it, I see everything two" Clint said stumbling in a chair
"I feel that I slept for a week" banner said scrubbing his eyes
"Why nothing happened to you?" Thor asked Steve while holding his head
"I'm invincible "Steve chuckled
"It is your wrong Thor no one told you to dare cap on drinking " Natasha said smiling
"How I know that he could drink all of this" Thor said
"Yaah you drank all what I have" tony snarled
"Buy another then" Steve smirked
"Come 'on boys enough, who wants some coffee now "pepper said
"Give me all you have" tony said moving towards her
"Obviously all of us need coffee a lot of coffee" banner said taking his mug
"There is enough coffee for everyone here, you help yourselves while I check on Loki " pepper said
"Are you sure? Let me do it" banner said
"No stay you still hangover, I can do it beside tony told me everything last night " she grinned at Tony
"Hey don't look at me I was drunk and she is really good at talking anyone into anything, she is persuasive you know "tony said quickly
"Yep, that is why I'm good at my work very good" she winked at him leaving the room
"Jarvis how is he ?" her voice was shaking a little being that close to the man who almost destroyed the city not much time ago make her feeling weird
"His vital signs are normal there is nothing wrong" Jarvis replied
"Thanks Jarvis" she said sitting on the chair near Loki, she couldn't stop herself from staring at him or moving back the hair from his face
"You look so calm and peaceful" she whispered "but cold" she said touching his hand
"Jarvis is this normal?"
"Yes Miss Potts"
She sighed looking at him again when suddenly he opened his eyes
"Jesus" and she yelped backward "you scared the hell out of me"
Loki moved slowly and sits on the bed without any reaction as he didn't notice her
"Well this awkward" she murmured "hi my name is pepper" she said waving her hand
"Hellooo" she said standing in front of him, she moved her hand in front of his face but still no reaction except he blinked
"Shit, Jarvis call banner quickly" she looked concerned
"Mr. Banner miss Potts asks for you"
"What is wrong Jarvis?"
"Mr. loki wake up sir"
Banner rushed to the room followed by Thor
"What did he just say? Loki...oh shit?" Clint shouted following them and the others did the same
"Loki, can you hear me?"
"Don't reply just make any move telling us you can"
"Anything"
Loki didn't answer or make any reaction at all
"Loki, please" Thor pleaded
"What's up guys everything ok?" tony asked
"Shush" pepper said "come with me" and they followed her out the room
"What is it pepper?" tony said
"Is he okay?" Steve asked
"No, Loki doesn't respond at all like he isn't here or he doesn't notice us"
"Maybe he is just shocked" tony said
Pepper shaked her head "it looks like his mind has been shut down" she said not knowing what the hell this supposed to mean
"How is thor?" Natasha asked
He is quiet till now"
"We should be there with him he needs us " Steve said entering the room and so did the others
"Hey thor how is he?" Steve asked
Thor just shaked his head looking sad
"Don't worry he will be ok " Natasha said
"Don't worry? How exactly shouldn't I worry? Look at him is he ok?" Thor rasped
"thor please you should be grateful that he is still alive after all he had to get through anyone else would be dead by now you should be stronger and be more patient for god sake " banner said firmly
"You said he will be fine but all I see is him getting worse day by day, I can't see him like…like this, this too much" Thor shouted leaving
"Thor, just wait" steve said following him but banner stood in front of him
"No, leave him, he need to understand and to be alone for a while"
"But..."
"No Steve, banner is right he need to control his feelings and use his mind more" tony said
"Common …ughhh, you really believe this?" Clint snarled
"What do you mean" banner asked confused
"How do we know it is not just another game he plays on us?"
"Damn it Clint, after all of this?! You still think it is a game?" tony said astonished
"look guys I'm sorry I have my own reasons you all knew them very much ,just seeing him make me nervous and I stop myself every time from punching him in the face "
"I can assure you clint, he isn't lying see this scans loki's mind is shut down he did it by himself he thought it was the only way to fight whoever controlled him ,he did it in the same day he tried to kill himself "
"Is there any way to fix this or he is broken?" tony asked
"It is in his hands to choose to come back or not we will just try to stimulate it"
"For now the priority is to make him eat, look at him he is bony" pepper said looking at his small frame he was so pale with dark circles around his eyes , whwn was the last he ate she wondered
"Yes I think you are right" banner said
"Come loki" she said holding his hand and he moved with her as she was controlling him
"Geez he is totally fucked up man" tony said quietly and Clint just let out a small laugh
"clint listen to me " Natasha said holding his hand " I know how do you feel, he is guy who controlled your mind and made you do terrible things but he was controlled too, and much more worse than you and he killed hundreds of people you among all of us should know how he will feel when he finds this out, he is not our enemy our real enemy is whoever did this and controlled both of you"
"Alright, fine" Clint said nodding to them
"Helping Loki will help us know who is behind all this got it Clint?" banner said
"Yah yah, I can only promise not to punch him"
"And this is enough" Natasha said smiling at him, pressing on his hand and he smiled back
"Let's go check on them" tony said
"Common Loki just one bite, anything, gosh " pepper whined
"Hey pepper" tony said
"Oh thank god, guys please help me he is refusing to eat anything, look" pepper said holding the spoon in front of his face but Loki is just ignoring it
"umm leave it to me " Steve said taking some fruit out of the fridge " no one can refuse fresh fruits " he cut some and put them in a plate in front of loki
"Ughhh this will be a long day" pepper whined
"No wait look" tony said quickly
Loki moved his hand wary and holds a slice and started to eat it slowly
"Steve you are genius" pepper said hugging him and he just blushed
"He only eats the apple" Clint smirked
"I'll make him some more then" Steve said smiling
"Now drink some water" pepper said handling him a glass of water but Loki dropped it
"Loki" pepper yelped "no problem come" she said sitting him on the sofa
"New rule only plastic cups from now then" tony said picking the glass
"Yes he might hurt himself" pepper said helping him
"Is it only me here or he looks like a lost child" tony smirked
"Hey don't be mean" pepper said
"No really I mean it, he holds to you and follow you like a little kid" tony laughed
"A lazy one too " Clint smirked pointing at Loki who is now sleeping curling around himself
"Whoa, I wish could sleep this fast " Steve said
he looked peaceful yet fragile no one said a word but they all felt their hearts aching from how he looks especially Steve seeing him like that reminded him of his old self the one who used to be weak and bullied by all and he wonders how it was for someone like loki to live in asgard among people like thor, he know what is it like to be the weak one but he was and always be a soldier loki is no soldier from what thor said about asgard it only fits to be a big military base fight and wars is their language but for loki, well he speaks a different language
"Ooh he looks so cute" pepper said
"What the hell pepper" tony said shocked
"Shit, did I say this loud" she blushed "uhm I'll get him a blanket" she said fleeing from the room
"You know he really looks a little cute" Natasha said
Tony and Clint stared at her
"Don't look at me, it was you that said he looks like a child after all" Natasha said
"Okay I'll go training before I shoot someone" Clint said leaving
"I'll be in the lab praying not beg Clint to shoot me in the face " tony said following Clint
Pepper returned with a blanket, she covered Loki with it and sits next to him, he was moaning weakly
"I think he is having a bad dream" she said
"Or maybe he is just remembering something bad" Steve muttered.
