Loki's hostage

Lamentis-1

"Where has she gone? This is all your fault" Loki paces, running his hands through his hair
"My fault? You just told her you didn't care about her, how is this my fault"
Loki slides down the wall, resting his head in his hands.
"I was trying to protect her, from this, from me, she deserves better, but now she just thinks i don't care, that i never cared"
"Well you did tell her that.
But lucky for you i know where shes gone, but I'm only doing this because we deserve a chance at happiness, go and make it right, then we end this?" New Loki holds out his hand
"The Tempad. Shes taken mine"
Loki rises to his feet, scrambling it out if his pocket he passes it to him.
"What about you?" He frowns
"I will come with you, but then I'm going to the TVA, you find her, send her back home then come and find me"
Loki nods
"So where is she? How do you know?"
"She gone to Lementis-1. It was my next apocalypse hideout, i hadn't yet changed it before she took it, you better hope she hasn't gotten far, its a pretty rough one"
Loki inputs the planet into the Tempad, the time-door opens and they step through.
***
"Run" new Loki shouts
Loki manages to look up before starting to run, a meteor shower cascading around them, impacting the ground, spraying rubble.
"In there" Loki points.
They run into a mining shack, closing the door, they rest against the wall catching their breath.
"This is my queue to leave, good luck, i do hope you find her" he holds out his hand, Loki firmly places his in it.
"What now?"
He nods
"Good luck to you too then. I guess i will see you soon"
"I hope so"
He opens a time door and leaves.
                          ***
"Fuck" you shout as you cover your head and run.
You duck, darting left and right getting away from the falling rocks.
You pick up a car, using is as a shield, you take shelter for a brief moment, looking around to see where to go.
"Hey you!"
You hear shouting, you look around not seeing anyone through the dust.
"You by the car"
You squint through the cloud, just about seeing a figure behind it.
"Come with me"
What do you have to loose, you drop the car and run in their direction.
You see a woman running up ahead, she signals you to follow her, she opens a door to a shelter. You catch up to her, looking in, then back to her.
"Get in, or do you want to stay out here?"
You take a deep breath and walk in. The woman follows, you hear the clunk of the door as it closes behind you.
You walk into the shelter, trying to steady your breathing.
Soon the darkness is thrown into bright light, you cover your eyes allowing them to adjust.
You see a small seating area, two chairs, a table, trinkets and photos covering the walls.
You turn to the woman and smile.
"Thank you"
"You looked like you needed the help, I'm Nina, and you?" She starts taking off her armour and laying down her weapons
"Amelia"
"You're not from here are you?"
You chuckle "no, far from it. Its very long story, but I've ended up here running from someone, now i have no idea where i am, or where i should go"
"Someone after you?"
"Well, yes, but they wont find me here. The person i was running from, well, thats just complicated, not worth the time to talk about"
She slowly nods
"Ah! That must only mean its a man? Full of disappointment aren't they" she rolls her eyes
"Like mine"
She tilts her head to the photos on the wall.
"Luckily we can fend for ourselves" she smiles
"Can i ask, why are you still here, looks like this place has been abandoned, but you're here"  you share a concerning look.
"Well, this is my home, if i leave where would i go, its just me, its not worth it, plus they're only giving tickets to the rich, and well, that i am not"
"Tickets?" You question
"For the train" she starts pouring you a hot drink
"The only way off this planet is the train to the capsule, it leaves in 15 hours, but as i said, only the rich can afford the tickets, the rest of us are left to perish, many already have" she looks down at her feet "I've made my peace with it"
You look to her, sadness overwhelming you, you couldn't possibly imagine not fighting for your life, wondering at what stage you just give up, you could continue to question, but you don't, leaving her reasoning to herself.
You take a sip of your drink as your startled by a banging at the door, you dart your eyes to Nina. Her expression shows she too wasn't expecting anyone, you place your cup down and stand up. She signals you to stay back, looking through a peep hole.
"Yes? I have nothing here for you"
"Finally, someone answers, I've been banging on all of these shelters, you're the first person i have spoken to"
"Probably because they've all left"
Loki looks around realisation hits him, the place is deserted
"I don't suppose you would let me shelter for a moment would you"
Nina rolls her eyes
"You're the second one I've rescued tonight" she goes to unlock the door, 5 locks down, 4
More to go
"Second?"
She opens the door. You stand there arms folded staring at Loki.
