Pepper was stunned by Friga's story. "Loki. Appeared on the roof last night, badly injured and scared of those who approached him. All we can do is not let him die of fear. Every time we mention him, he almost has a heart attack—" she Broke his hand quickly, realizing that might not be the best way to say it.

"What?" Friga said sharply. "You don't have to be afraid of me, Miss Potts, I just want to help my son.

"Loki had a very... bad reaction when we mentioned Qin Feng and Thor.

This bothered Friga more than the news of Rocky's injury. "Are you sure?"

Pepper nodded.

"I don't know what all this means," Friga said gloomily, "but something wicked is going on. How badly is my son injured?"

"It sucks," Pepper said, not wanting to elaborate, but Friga clearly wanted more. "He had a lot of bruises and broken bones and was malnourished. When we found him, he was still wearing that mask. He hasn't spoken to us yet. "

Friga turned pale. "I don't think this happened in Asgard.

"Loki told us so."

"We may not be as tolerant as Midgard, but we do have standards. No prisoner in our field is treated like this."

"Then where has he been for the past year?"

"I don't know yet," Friga said sadly. "Thank you, Miss Potts, for taking care of my son. I owe you a favor.

"Don't you want to see him?"

"I'd love to do that. But if I get too close to Qin Feng, there's a good chance that some kind of magic will be revealed to Qin Feng. I trust you and your friends. My dear Loki in such a short time from You got more kindness from Asgard""""

"Thank you, Friga," Pepper replied with a smile.

"Now I'm leaving to find answers," Friga turned away. "I hope to meet again under a happy sky." She strode down the path and disappeared into a golden mist.

Qin Feng, Team Mi, and Loki are having a particularly intense scrabble game when Pepper walks in. She hurriedly whispered to Qin Feng, Qin Feng followed her out again, leaving Team Mi to Loki alone.

"Well, I think Qin Feng loses by default," Team Mi said humorously. He was distracted, and Loki sensed his anxiety, a little nervous, and looked out of the window in horror, where the sky was a pale slate, a few drops of water splashed on the glass.

A few minutes of uncomfortable silence passed. "I don't know what's going on with that," Rice said, putting the shards of the spelling puzzle back into the box. "Don't let that worry you. Pepper just attended a meeting at Qin Feng Industries. It could be about Qin Feng's poor PR. Or the incident last weekend."

Loki shook his head and turned to Team Rice, which he hoped was a curious look.

"Qin Feng had a big party and drank too much, to some. Well, I'm surprised Pepper has forgiven him." Team Mi brought the Scrabble back to the cabinet, noticing Loki's eyes in the shadows, when he comes back. "Are you tired? It's almost nine o'clock.

Loki nodded, and Team Rice helped him back to the bed. Loki slumped cautiously on the mattress, grimacing furtively at the weight of his bandaged limbs. Team Rice went to the bathroom to change, brush his teeth, and a few minutes later he showed up in a set of Iron Man pajamas. Loki smiled so lightly.

"It's a Christmas present from Qin Feng. We've all received it. Except for Natasha Romanoff, he gave it to her... Forget it. Needless to say, she's not wearing it yet. I don't know," Team Mi said quickly, red-hot flushed. He slipped out of his socks and climbed into the bed where Pepper had slept the night before. J.A.R.V.I.S turned off all the lights except the one by Loki's bed, "Good night, Loki," muttered the Rice team. Within minutes he fell asleep.

Loki lay awake, staring at the rain outside. The thunder rumbled somewhere in the distance, and he buried his head tremblingly in the pillow. Can't sleep.

A rumble of thunder woke the Mi team up. He sat up, startled, and looked around the room. The clock is 2:05 in the morning and he rubs his eyes, realizing that Loki's bed is empty.

"Damn," he whispered, standing up quickly, squinting around the room. Has Loki left the infirmary? He must have fainted before he got to the door. There was a flash of white light, the thunder sounded again, pitch-black, dazzling rain beating against the windows. "Loki? Are you here?

no answer. Team Rice looked under the bed and in the corner. Bewildered, he went into the bathroom and turned on the light. The situation made him want to hit someone.

Loki was curled up on the floor under the sink, hands over his head, shaking and sobbing. With every thunder, he flinched, fingers clenched in his hair.

Team ""Loki" meters knelt on the icy tiles before the cowering God. "Loki, it's okay, it's just a thunderstorm." He put a hand on Loki's shoulder, and Loki shuddered at the touch. "No one's going to hurt you. Just rain and a little lightning. It'll pass.

Team Rice gently stretched Loki's arm over his head, revealing his tear-stained face. "Hey, look at me," he said softly. "You are safe here"

Loki relaxed and took a few deep Roar inhales. He began to crawl out from under the sink, when suddenly thunder hit the top of the tower, the windows creaked and the lights flickered.

Loki made a (Zhao's Zhao) kind of strangled sound, clung to the Mi team, buried his face in the soldier's shirt, and shivered like a wounded animal. Startled by Loki's reaction, Mi wrapped his arms around the trembling God and held him in front of Hungarian.

They stayed along the road for half an hour, until the wind and rain receded and faded to a distant rumbling. Loki's cries subsided, and he fell asleep in Mi's arms.

Team Rice carefully picked him up from the ground, carried him back to the bed, covered him with the quilt, and wiped away the still wet tears in his eyes. Team Rice strongly suspects that this fear of thunder has something to do with Thor.

Despite his best efforts, he couldn't sleep anymore, and he found himself staring at Loki's pained, thin face. "Thor better have a good explanation," Rice thought, clenching his fists. Otherwise he'll shove Mjolnir down his throat and beat him straight to hell.
