"Mmm..." she groaned.. gosh... why did everything hurt so bad?
She looked at the ceiling. And then tilted her head. This... this wasn't her room. Where was she?! She woke up with a start, immediately regretting the move as pain radiated through her abdomen.
She remembered. Andy. He threw her on the road. The vehicle...she pulled up her shirt and touched her stomach. Nothing. How? A groan made her snap to her left. On a chair sat a familiar person but..... it couldn't be...
"Professor?" She asked and got off the bed to reach him. She touched him.
"Professor?" She asked. No response. She became frantic. "Professor?! " she called.
He didn't move. Tears flowed down her face as she began to furiously try to wake him up.
"Hey hey.. stop ! " a voice said and pulled her away. She turned to see a red haired lady. A man stood behind her. He was blonde. Another ran in. He had Brown hair.
"What happened to him?" She asked pointing to Loki who looked dead. His cheeks were sunken and his eyes were dark.
"He has gone into some deep sleep. Come" the girl said and Alexis reluctantly walked with them. She was greeted by Thor and Clint. She looked at all of them and her eyes widened.
"You're... the.. you're" she muttered pointing at all of them. Tony smirked.
"The avengers that's what we call ourselves" he says and earns a glare from Natasha. Everyone turns to Alexis.
"Wh.. that's.. avengers... wow... you're the thunder dude! " she said pointing to the blonde long haired man. He bowed.
"Yes lady Alexis." He says. She nods and cradles her head.
"I'm so confused." She says. Natasha looks at Thor who begins to explain.
------------------
"ALEXIS! " Sarah shouted as he vehicle rammed into Alex. She flew and fell on her head. Blood spilled out.
Loki stared wide eyed at this. His heart broke. He blinked and ran over he turned her over. Her face was smashed beyond recognition. She wasn't dead... no she was alive but by the skin of her teeth. Loki got a cab to stop and took her home. He laid her on his bed and took his phone.
"Hello? Thor? I need the avengers." He mumbled. In an hour the avengers landed.
"What happened?" Thor ran in. They saw Alexis and Nat immediately pulled out her gun.
" what did you do to her?" She asked. He sighed and told her what had happened.
"She won't live Loki" Natasha said examining her.
'SHE HAS TO! " Loki said angrily. "I must talk to father and get my powers" he says.
"Brother. You know father was angry when he banished you. He may not agree" he said.
"I have to try... for her" Loki says and looks at the blood soaked Alexis. He had managed to sustain her. But he knew it wouldn't be long before he breathed her last.
"HEIMDALL! " he shouted and in a few seconds he was in Asgard. He sighed. He would have to beg Odin for them. He would do it. For Alexis. He was all she had. He wouldn't fail her.

"S.. so he is a god.. and he begged his dad for powers... for me? And that's why he is sleeping.. because he is weak and he wasted his energy on me? " She asked. Thor nodded.
"How long has it been since the accident?" She asked.
" a week." Thor said. She blinked and ran into the room on instinct. They followed her. She pulled out a sheet and placed it on Loki. She pushed him into a more comfortable position and sat on the chair adjacent to his.
"I'll stay till he wakes up " she said resolutely. Tony looked at Thor.
"You said their relationship is platonic?" He asked. Thor shrugged.
"Yeah I didn't think so either" Tony mutters. They all leave the room. She looks at the professor. He was a god?! He saved her... why? As she thought she slowly drifted off to sleep.
------------
"ALEXIS?! " a voice woke her up. She jumped as she woke up. Loki was kneeling next to her. His face was etched with worry.
"Are you ok?" He asks. She blinks.
"You woke up" she mutters shellshocked.
"Yes I... " he starts but is stopped as she hugs him tight.
"Thank you... Thor told me what you did...I don't deserve someone like you in my life" she said as she hugged him. She had surprised herself with the amount of emotion she never knew she had for Loki.
"You deserve better" Loki says and strokes her hair. He looks at the door where Thor stands with the biggest shit eating grin ever. Loki rolls his eyes but is unable to stop the smile that graces his face. Thor shakes his head while chuckling. Oh yes... Loki fell for her alright.. he fell hard. And he knew it. He became a bit more serious as he remembered what Odin told him. He blinked. What would he do now?
