It's not quite dawn when I wake, sheets tangled around my legs and Anita draped against me. Sometime in the night we moved to her bed, but I don't know or care when. She's lying on my arm, one of hers thrown across my chest and the other curled in to hers. On leg is wrapped around mine. It's comfortable, oddly enough. Pleasant, reassuring to hear her breathing deeply as she sleeps beside me. I move to get up and she protests in wordless murmurs, her head burrowing into the crook where my arm meets my shoulder. I kiss her softly, saying, "I'll be back, I'm not leaving." She doesn't say anything, only drifts back into the dreamless sleep she

Guardian 6 She is awake and staring up at the ceiling when I return. Her face is still pale, though not as death, and her eyes are shadows. She knows that they are dead; I can read it in them. What I can't read is if she knows who killed them. And why. "I feel better," is all she says, and I take my customary seat in the corner. "Why did you do it?" I ask. She doesn't answer, only lays there staring up. I stare at the still white bandages on her arms. There is no more bleeding now, the energy released back into her has healed her, at least partially. I don't worry about her dying now from something that her body can't fix. Instead, I w

Episode Nine “Dun and Out” “It’s Christmas Eve Eve!” Mikey laughed loudly as he finished gathering all the used plates.  “We need to get the tree and start decorating!” “Relax, Mikey, we’ll do that,” Donny shook his head.  “It’s just going to be weird not having a big party here this year.” Lisa frowned and sighed as she rocked back in her seat.  “I’m really sorry about that.” “Don’t be,” Leo smiled as he reached out, his hand resting on her shell.   She barely flinched, a sign that she was doing a lot better after therapy with Master Splinter.

"I just want you to know that." I don't know what she sees. Maybe she sees something that tells her I just want to die. I already knew that she didn't love me. But hearing her say it, just like that, so matter of fact and without emotion… It kills something in me. I feel sick and start to turn away. She stops me, one small cold hand on my side. It feels sharp and painful on my bare flesh, and I shiver at it. Her other hand is on my face, cupping my cheek and forcing me to look at her. She says I understand her, but she knows me too well. For all of the things I try and hide from her, she still knows me better than any other person on the pl

Gradually, things gained a sense of normality in the Avengers tower, Loki and Tony being the obvious exceptions. Loki was gradually regaining his confidence, but being around Tony after what was quickly becoming known as 'The Incident' made him noticeably uncomfortable, and Tony was at a loss for what to do about it. "You have to give him time" This insight came surprisingly from their resident female spy, Natasha of course. Tony scoffed. "Because you would know all about Loki wouldn't you?" Since his coming to the tower, Natasha and Loki had barely been seen in the same room as each other. Loki assured him he wasn't offended by it, they ju
