"Loki no!, that's not true!" Tony pleaded to a silently crying Loki who was sitting on the floor with blood dripping from his hand and glas strewn across the floor. Loki sighed shakily "yes it IS... I DON'T DESERVE TO BE HERE...i don't deserve you or Natasha or ANYTHING!!!" he clutched his throbbing hand.".........I'm sorry about you're t.v." Tony sat next to him. "It's fine, that's the least of my worries right now Loki.....will you come with me to have Bruce fix your hand?" Loki let out another shaky sigh and another tear rolled down his cheek. Then he stood up and followed Tony.

"Hey Brucie!, I got you a present." Bruce looked up and walked closer to loki. "may I?" he asked holding out his hand. Loki slowly held out his violently shaking hand and placed it on top of Bruce's . Bruce gently examined it. "those two" he said pointing to to large gashes "are going to need stitches, and then i'll put a wrap around it and give you some pain meds okay?"Loki shook his head wearily. Bruce sat him down in the chair and went to get his supplies. went Bruce came back with a needle in hand Loki started hyperventilating. "It's okay Loki, he's not going to hurt you, He's helping" Tony whispered in his ear. Loki nodded and shut his eyes.

"Hey, Nat,..wake up" Clint said lightly shaking her arm. She looked at him, then around the room then back at him, before the memories of their conversation came flooding back to her. She sat up and rubbed her eyes. "what time is it?" He stood up and pulled on a shirt. "I think its about 2, I wanted to show you something." Natasha yawned and got up, following him out the door.He led her to his car, a black 2015 Scion tC. "Where are we going?" she asked plopping her long legs into the car. Clint smiled at her and started the car "It's a surprise." She smiled and buckled her seatbelt. It wasn't the first time Clint had taken her on one of these surprise joy rides, but it was the first time he actually had a specific place to end up.

After they were driving for a few hours Clnt pulled over into a Motel "we're just going stop here for tonight, i'm tired and there's a while to go still okay?" Natasha nodded and they went inside. The lady at the desk didn't even bother looking up from her magazine before she askes "you want room?" she had a clear German accent. "yes" Clint said looking around. "one or two bed?" she asked and Clint and Natasha replied at the same time, Clint saying two and Nat saying one they both laughed and spoke together again this time with Clint saying one and Nat saying two. They laughed again "you know what, surprise us" Clint said and the lady at the desk raised an eyebrow at them and typed some stuff into the computer, she handed them a key "room 201 on left."

When they got to the room they each laughed upon seeing the single bed that lay in the room. Clint took off his shirt and shoes and Natasha removed her shoes as well. They both climbed into bed lightly sighing as the bed cradled them. "Nat?" Clint asked "yeah?" she asked, Clint hesitated for a moment "...nevermind" Natasha rolled on her side and looked him in the eye "what?" Clint took a deep breath "just...goodnight." Natasha smiled "goodnight Clint." she said and kissed him on the cheek. He smiled and fell asleep.
