"LOKI,"
He stood there silently, his eyes never leaving Alex's. His face was pained yet relieved, like he hadn't seen her in years but he didn't quite have her yet. Alex's whole body screamed at her to run toward him, but her brain halted her. His words from his mirage of a chamber echoed in her mind.
"All of it was to keep you alive."
There wasn't a moment since that those words didn't repeat themselves. She had been tricked by the God of Mischief so many times that it was impossible for her to simply give in without a second thought. However, in front of her, was a seemingly remorseful man.
"Surprised to see him?" Thanos' voice ripped her from her thoughts.
"I was many visits ago." She replied, her eyes on Loki. "I'm used to it now."
"Such a strong bond between your two energies. Makes me sick."
She chuckled humorlessly at Thanos' disgust. "Is that jealousy I hear, big guy?"
"What's even more disturbing is the secrecy--the betrayal of a right-hand that I trusted so much."
Loki's demeanor remained nonchalant. "However do you mean?"
His voice sent shivers down Alex's spine. There was something different about it, something more present and alive.
"You think me a fool. I know it's been a ruse since the beginning."
Loki's eyes now were widened and he was cornered. Thanos turned toward him, approaching menacingly.
"I could never punish you for it since she was so valuable, but now that I am in her midst my need for you is finished. I thought sparing her life would ultimately sway your loyalty to me, but now I see that it is still to her. A lesson is to be taught, of what happens when you betray me."
Before Alex could blink, Thanos hit Loki across the face with his double edged sword, leaving a gash on his cheek and sending him flying backwards. In shock, Alex was frozen.
Loki really was on her side.
The suppressed love she had for him burst through the surface, and paired with the energy that electrified the emotion she was feeling at this current point in time. In her hands were balls of light that glowed tremendously, and her eyebrows knit together.
"Don't," She took a step toward Thanos, causing him to turn around.
"Touch," She raised her hands.
"Him."
In that instant, she shot blasts at Thanos so strong that he was thrown back into the ground, hard. The rush that surged through her was so strong, it almost knocked her off her feet. She looked down at her hands before looking back at the villain, holding them out to freeze him temporarily.
