A Little Blood (SLOW UPDATES)

A Lost Battle for Control

I got ready and put on my outfit.

And began my way to the training room. Unfortunately for me though, I got lost. I mean it's not hard to do, with a place this big. And while trying to find my way back to where I came from. I bumped into the one person I was trying to avoid.

Loki...

Now that I get a good look at him. He reminds me of someone... it was on the tip of my tongue.

"Well?"

I snapped out of my thoughts. I quirked a brow.

"Are you not going to apologize? After all it is you who bumped into me."

"Oh, I'm sorry I didn't see you there."

"Clearly." He turned to leave.

I grabbed his wrist. And he stopped abruptly. He slowly turned to me and glared. If looks could kill, I'd be dead a thousand times over.

"Unhand me mortal!" He sneered.

"Sorry... I-" I started but he interrupted me before I could finish.

"Yes you seem to be saying that a lot. You are sorry. Pathetic really."

"Loki! Will you shut up for one second! I'm trying to apologize!"

He stopped and he grimaced, his mouth forming a straight line.

"As I was trying to say... I'm sorry for my outburst earlier in the library. It was uncalled for. I assume you were merely teasing, and I took it as something else. The Battle of New York is a sensitive matter to me. But because of it I made a new companion. One that I can hold onto forever, so in a way, I should be thanking you for it." I said looking down ashamed.

"It wasn't me..." he murmured.

My head shot up. What? What did he just say?

"What?" I narrowed my eyes.

"It wasn't me. That's not who I am." He said then he sighed. "Follow me. If you wish to know my side of the story. If you don't, I understand. But I'd appreciate it if you would. As much as I hate to admit it. It would be nice to have a friend." He said walking away.

I didn't know if I should go or not but my curiosity was killing me.

So I followed him. He welcomed me into his room. I walked in hesitantly. Unsure of what to expect.

He gestured me to have a seat, so I sat at his desk. He sat down on his bed and laid down.

"There's a being named Thanos. His skin is purple and he has lined indentations in his chin. He can easily be called a giant. He is a titan. He's more powerful than any known being in the universe. When I fell from the bifrost, I was falling for so long in what felt like an eternal abyss. But I came to, to a planet unknown. I was lying before the titan himself. He offered me many things. But I refused to be his puppet. I was done being someone's pawn. Because of this, he tortured me until my mind was weak enough for him to control. He used me, made a part of me, that I am ashamed of, emerge and multiply. Intensifying every thought of Anger, every feeling of hatred. Everything I never wanted to be. He controlled me. I was not myself. I could see everything I was doing. I tried to break free of him but it would only cause me pain. It wasn't until the hulk smashed me that I was able to think for myself. And by that time, my fate had already been decided. And everyone thought that it was of my own volition. Only because of my past and my title. So with no other option I accepted my punishment. That is why I did what I did. It's no excuse. I know I should have fought harder against him. I should have ended it, so that he couldn't use me. But even after all this time, I am afraid of death."

I sat there in shock, grasping at my train of thoughts. My mind was so scrambled I couldn't think. I could only feel. And I felt terrible. The things he'd been through, the torture...

"We have to tell someone! You didn't deserve this punishment! No! I'm going to tell the rest of them! You deserve justice!" I stood abruptly, yelling in anger. Anger at what had happened.

Anger toward this "Thanos".

he rushed to stop me from leaving.

"No!" He yelled and then proceeded to speak normally. "No. No one is to know of this. This is between you and I. If they found out they'd think I was manipulating you or your mind."

"Are you? Are you manipulating me?" I asked.

"No..." he spoke softly.

"Then you have nothing to fear."

"Oh but I do. Elliara. I do. Thanos. He is the most powerful being in the universe. There is no escaping him. I just thought to tell someone before he comes for me. It won't be long now."

"No offense but surely you're not that important to him?"

"None taken, but he doesn't like loose ends." He shook his head sadly.

"Loki please I know we may not be friends, or even team mates yet, but we have to do something!" I begged him.

I'm beginning to think he may be growing on me.
