9 Done

"We know, but please." Rhodey pleaded. Nat tried pushing Bucky back down to the chair but he just pushed back. 

-

Aj left the room and headed up to her room hating herself for being the cause of such a mess. She opened her balcony doors and stepped outside. She sat there for what seemed like hours thinking about what had happened. She heard a knock on her door to see Rhodey.

"Can I come in?" he asked, she nodded and he came out to the balcony.

"What happened?" she asked

"We got Bucky to calm down, Loki disappeared, and Steve is locked in his room." 

"Why is Steve upset?"

"Do you remember what Tony said?"

"No, I was to busy looking at the mess I've made." She sighed holding her head in her hands.

"That wasn't your fault, it was Lokis." 

"I know, but I think I really do like him."

"Well then do what makes you happy. Just know that if he hurts you we will al literally kill him." Aj laughed. 

----------

Later that night Loki had come into apologize for making a mess but according to him he just had to. Aj forgave him and He ended up asking her out. Thor and Loki ended up staying about for 2 months waiting for Carol. Aj and Loki spent most of their time together and Loki actually started to get feelings for her which made him realize something.

Whenever they would walk into a room Steve would have to leave. This made Aj very upset since she had no idea what she had done. Bucky tried his best to be happy for her, even though he hated Loki. Soon enough 2 weeks had come and Thor and Loki finally had to leave. Aj had really gotten to know him meaning she really liked him, before she admired him but now after talking and getting to know him she felt a real connection with him. She didn't want him to go. Loki didn't want to leave but leaving made him realize what he needed to do.

"Knock knock. Hey there." Loki said coming into Aj's room.

"Hey, when are you leaving?" She asked hoping she would have some more time to spend with him.

"In about 15 minutes." He gave her a small smile. "Look we need to talk."

"Oh, that's never a good sign." She joked hoping to lighten the mood.

"I'm not good enough for you, I believe we shouldn't be together. We live very far apart. Thor and I rarely come to Earth. I just don't think it's going to work out." he said. These words shattered her heart.

"W-Why?" She asked choking back tears.

"Look we've only known each other for like 2 weeks. You don't know me. Did you actually think it was going to work out?" He scoffed, his voice getting harsher.

"O-Okay, Goodbye Loki." She said walking out to the balcony as Loki got up and left the room. She turned her head to make sure he was gone before letting out a sob. she held her hands in her head and began to cry.

-

"Thor we're leaving now," Loki spoke harshly to Thor who was talking with Carol who had arrived last night.

"Okay, lets head out, I was thinking we head to Asgard to get the diagram," Carol suggested as they headed outside. Loki not letting Thor say his goodbyes. Thor didn't dare ask any questions on why Loki was in a bad mood.

-

Aj locked her door and closed her blinds. She didn't want anyone to see her. She sat on the floor and started to cry even more than before, she curled her self into a ball and leaned against a wall. As she cried ice and frost started moving and covering the floor and walls and everything in between.  She continued to cry before it turned into silent tears.

--------

"Hey guys have you seen Aj?" Tony asked as he walked into the kitchen where the team was eating lunch.

"Probably off with Loki," Steve said under his breath but it didn't stop Tony from hearing it.

"Steve, Loki and Thor left hours ago," Tony said raising his eyebrows. Steve looked up now looking worried. 

"Her door was shut but it didn't sound like anyone was in there," Nat said.

"I'll go see if she is there," Sam said heading to the elevator. 

He headed up to Aj's door before knocking on the door. He noticed the door was very cold. He shook his head and knocked again. Not getting an answer he tried opening the door.

"Aj? Are you in there." He wiggled the doorknob again now getting even more worried. He ran downstairs hoping someone had found her, trying not to think of the worst-case scenario. Everyone turned their heads when Sam came running to the kitchen.

"Was she in there?" Vision asked. Bucky looked confused, getting there after Sam had left.

"Who?" he asked.

"Aj, we can't find her," Tony said.

"Guys, her door was locked. Plus her door was ice cold." Sam said giving everyone a worried look. 

Everyone quickly ran upstairs. Nat ran to her room and pressed her ear against the wall trying to hear something.

"Nothing." She said.

Tony tried the door but it wouldn't budge.

"Someone get my sister," Bucky said freaking out. Bucky pushed his way to the front of the group and started Slamming into the door.

Aj heard them outside and didn't want to talk to anybody so she continued to put layers of ice on the door.

"Leave me alone!" She yelled. Everyone stooped.

"Aj? Please let us in." Steve pleaded.

"Come on sis, please?" Bucky hoped she was okay. Bucky started slamming into the door again.

"Stop Bucky, leave me alone!" She screamed more tears falling from her face. Her tears turned ice-cold leaved frostbite marks streaking down her face.

"Aj listen. Buckys going to end up breaking this door down." Wanda warned. 

Bucky stopped out of breathe. He leaned against the wall a tear falling from his face. He put his head in his hands.

"I just want to know if she's okay." He whispered. Wanda rubbed his shoulder trying to comfort him. 

"Hold on." Bucky looked up at the sound of Tony's repulser charging up. He blasted the door a few times breaking the door and the layer of ice to expose her ice-covered room with Aj in the corner. Bucky pushed past everyone huddling in the doorway. He stopped looked around but quickly kneeled in front of her. She looked up at him with tears in her eyes and red streaks down her face. His heart broke into a million pieces.

"I had always vowed never to let you get hurt. I couldn't save you from Hydra and now I couldn't save you from,"

"Loki." She muttered. Bucky's eyes widened.

"What do you mean?" He asked sitting next to her and pulling her into his arms.

"I thought he liked me, but I was wrong. He acted as if he liked me. I thought we got to know each other but according to him," She started to cry again not finishing her sentence. She leaned into bucky, his chest muffling her sobs. He looked up to see everyone staring down at them with a sad look. Bucky nodded his head to tell them to leave. The rest of the team headed down to the lounge. Bucky sat with Aj not saying anything just holding her in his arms rocking back and forth.

-

"I even thought Loki liked her," Nat said confused. A few 'same here's could be heard from the group.

"Next time he comes here I'm going to kill him," Tony said frustrated. Steve stayed quiet, feeling guilty for ignoring her. 

"Tony we can't do that." Rhodey sighed. 

"Says who?"

"The law?" Sam said sarcastically.

"The law doesn't have to know," Nat said, Tony pointed at her quickly.

"See she gets it." Rhodey glared at Tony making Tony sigh, "I just hope she can get over him."

"We all do Tony, but for now all we can do is try our best to make her feel better," Wanda said giving him a small smile.

"Oh my God! that gives me an idea," Nat said.

"What that?" Steve asked.

"We need to rank her hand to hand combat. Training always makes me feel better." 

"That's an amazing idea, Natasha. Can I suggest we start tomorrow." Vision suggested.
