The room was dark, hidden from the outside by thick curtains and tinted windows. Only the tiniest sliver provided light to see by, but it was enough to provide vague silhouettes. Three people lay spread out on the large bed as outside the world woke up. There was no waking up in the darkened room—two of the occupants had only recently fallen asleep.

Loki held up his hand in front of him and stared up at it in the dim light. Tony was next to him and Bucky lay on Tony's other side. His skin went from pale white to deep blue as he pondered idly on nothing in particular. His life had become very strange in recent times—wonderful, but strange. Odin had banished him from Asgard, thinking that the same method he had used with Thor would work on his adopted son.

Loki let out a snort as he thought about that. As if Odin paid enough attention to him to know how to properly punish him. This punishment was less of a punishment and more of a gift. On Midgard, he was not surrounded by the Manliest of Men who preferred to bash heads together than talk civilly. Here, he had people who valued intelligence around him.

He moved his gaze from his shifting hand to the two people next to him. He also had people who liked him for who he was—who loved him despite what he had done. Loki sighed and let his arm drop, picking up the soft bear that Tony had created for him. The bear was able to withstand the cold temperatures of a frost giant without losing any of its cuddling properties or freezing into a block of ice.

He smiled as he held the teddy bear close to his chest and closed his eyes. He was tired and it was probably time for him to try and follow the examples of Tony and Bucky. Loki closed his eyes and let his mind drift in the darkness towards oblivion.
