~Birthday special~
It is Loki's birthday. He is staying with the Avengers, and while they are no longer doubting his innocence regarding the New York attack, knowing he was mind controlled, they don't really make an effort to include him in the team.
He is living at the Avengers Compound, has his room, access to all public spaces, the training grounds, the medbay, he is free to leave and wander, although tracked. He doesn't take advantage of this allowance. He began staying in his room 24/7 when he realised his friendliness is not welcome.
As Christmas approaches, he feels old scars tearing at him: he misses Asgard, he misses Yule, his family, however dysfunctional, his big oaf of a brother... who doesn't visit. Not even on this special day.
...No family. No friends. No happy birthday.
