Before she could even process what the monster was before her, it grabbed her, and carried her off. She screamed and fought the whole way until Venom dropped her suddenly. She managed to calm down enough to find her whereabouts, and realized she was thrown before the Avengers.... and Loki.

Tony stood there, stunned- as Loki came peacefully with his arms up, "Grab him." He told the agents, keeping his armored hand directed at Loki in case he got any funny ideas. Tony was even more stunned when Summer ran towards her captor.

"No, don't take him! Please!" She shouted and grabbed onto the love of her life as tightly as she could. The agents managed to pry her hands off of him and Wanda was quick to restrain her. "Let me go, please! Please don't hurt him!" Sobs ripped up from her throat as she shouted. All she could do was watch as Loki was ushered onto an aircraft, gone forever. She fell to her knees and cried her heart out.

She felt a prick in her neck and it all went black.

••• flashback •••

After the little stunt she pulled at the fair, Summer quickly learned not to speak of the Avengers or there would be consequences. No food, no hot water.... the closet.

She remembered one specific time clearly. Summer and Loki were seated, cuddling on the couch when the guard came in. She wasn't sure if the guard actually had news for Loki or if he was just sent in there as a test.

She couldn't remember what he said, but she picked up on "the Avengers." She stiffened at the name alone. Only bad thing come from them, even just talking about them. She didn't want to get punished again.

Loki gave a curt reply and the guard left. "Summer?"

She flinched, expecting something bad to happen.

"Love, you're trembling. What's wrong?" He cooed as he comfortingly ran his fingers through her hair to soothe her. He knew what was wrong, he wasn't dumb. He wanted to hear it.

"I-I don't- I don't like them." She whispered and cuddled into his side more. She wanted him to believe her- that she only wanted to be with him and no one else. He just had to believe her and then he wouldn't hurt her.

"You don't like who?" He asked, eerily calm.

A trap. It was a trap. She can't say who. "The bad- bad people." She said quietly with a wince. Please don't be mad, please don't be mad, please don't be mad-

"The bad people," he repeated with a chuckle, amused. "You used to want to be with them.... You remember, don't you?"

She flinched as the fist tightened in her hair ever so slightly. She nodded and rushed out, "yes, but not anymore! I'm sorry, I'm so sorry-"

"I know you are." He hushed her and brought her closer to his side. She seemed to relax as his voice and touch gentled.

She was glad the subject was dropped. The Avengers only meant bad things for her. She never wanted to hear about them ever again.
