"LOKI!" Natasha shouted as she ran through the door along with Steve, tony ,Thor ,Clint and tony. They found him slouched on the chair . He seemed sad As he looked up at them.

" whatever it is I didn't do it." He mumbled.

"What no! What happened to you?" Steve asked.

"Are you sad?!" Tony asked with a grimace. Loki looked at him and then at Thor.

"She said it . She loves me " he mumbled.

"Why are you sad? What happened?" Steve asked.

------flashback brought to you by the blueberries that tony ate-------

"I love you" she said softly. So softly that he wouldn't have heard it if she wasn't standing right in front of him. He blinked. It felt like all his blood had stopped moving and yet was rushing at the same time. She was equally flustered. Her stomach felt like it was doing a flip. She blinked at him . He wanted to smile , to shout yes ...to accept these words that he had yearned to hear. But alas...

"No" Loki said . His heart broke as she saw hers break into pieces. She looked down with a smile.

"That's ok .. i understand ...uh we can still be friends right?" She asked trying to stop the tears from flooding.

"I ... we were never friends.." he says placing a stone on his heart. She blinked and laughed as a tear finally escaped.

"What?" She asked dreading the answer.

"I do not wish to remain in contact with you...I afraid that i have been using you as a distraction...a pastime of sorts" he says as frankly as he could. She blinked as the memories of their past meetings flooded through her brain.

"Bu...but I .." she stammered.

"I do have to terminate our acquaintanceship." He said.

"Acquaintance?! How can you say that?! We .... we talked together! You told me stories about your childhood! We kissed dammit!! Did that mean nothing?" She asked in utter disbelief.

"Merely entertainment" he said. SMACK!! Loki held his stinging cheek and looked up at Alexis in shock. She herself couldn't believe that she slapped him.

"I trusted you, I loved you. How could you say....I ... I hate you." She Said as her face crumpled up. She ran out of the office. Loki blinked as a tear escaped him.

"I love you too" he softly whispered .

----------present------

'Idiot" tony mumbled.

"dumb" Thor shook his head.

"Guys! We don't have time.." Natasha interjected just as they were about to talk to Loki.

"Wait... why are you here?" Loki asked.

"So Alexis was telling me about this serial killer that was killing blondes. And I looked into it. There's been a reoccurrence". She said sitting next to Loki .

"Reoccurrence? Blondes are dying ?"He asked.

"Brunettes" Natasha said Loki became alert and took the file that she was handing him. "See all the blondes? They all look like Abbeline,even have the same age. Alex's sister. Now look at the brunettes." She said and handed him another file. He grabbed it and flipped through.

"They're all the same age and all the look the same as .." she trailed off as Loki looked up .

"Alexis" he mumbled. Natasha nodded.

"Who could've done it?" Loki asked. Natasha removed a file.

"I found this man . No alibis,no proper background, sketchy guy . Know him?" She asked . Loki took it and his eyes widened .
