Loki knew that his mind was not working right. He couldn't remember when was the last time he ate, the last time he slept and the last time he breathe.
It was like someone else was controlling him and that he knew, yet he could do anything.
He had showed him what will happened if he failed to his mission and he almost die when the illusion fell.
How he knew about his brother and mother? How he knew about Asgard? But most importantly, how he knew about his daughter? His only daughter who he never treated right, his daughter who never stay to read a fairytale in the middle of the night when she would awake from the nightmares. His daughter who missed everything because he was not thinking right!
And now here he is, watching his daughter being rape and torture to death in front of him, not having the power to turn his head and look away. When the illusion faded, he fell to his knees and cried like a little child.
The Mad Titan grin at the fallen and broken Prince and crouched in front of him ''She is such a beauty. It is a shame to destroy a pretty face like hers.''
''Please...'' he begs with tears running down his bruised eyes as he looks up to the Mad Titan ''Don't hurt her. I will fulfill your mission, but please...please-''
His laugh made his blood run cold as he looks down to the Trickster God ''It is quite comical how you plead for me to let her untouched, yet you never were close with her. I have daughters too you know, I know what is like to lose. And you will lose the only thing you hold to your FrostGiant heart if you fail. So, don't fail me.''
Loki shakes his head furiously as he looks up at him, his daughter's screams were plunged to his head as well as the horror images of her being torture and ... ''I won't fail you oh Great Titan. I will rule the Mortal Realm and I will find the Tesseract for you.''
Thanos grin maniacally as he looks down to the broken Prince ''You better not fail me. For the sake of your daughter and mother.''

ASGARD - THREE WEEKS LATER
Another mission another victory for the warriors three, Lady Sif, Balder and Ivanna. Fandral's youngest brother wanted to join as he hasn't been in one for many months due to an injury he got several months before. It almost cost him his left leg.
Ivanna smile at Balder, her cheeks redden as he looks at her and gave her a wink making her lower her head. In those three weeks, both of them grow feelings for each other, in fact Balder has already told her how he feels but she hasn't answer him yet. The last time she utter those three words, the man she loved left her and came back years later with a family.
She doesn't know if she will ever love again, but she knows for sure Balder is not the one in her heart. She just has to search longer.
She shook out from her thoughts when Thor walked towards them with a small smile to his face as he looks his niece. Placing an arm around her shoulders and giving her a tender kiss to her forehead, he chuckles at the look she gave him ''What?'' he asked with a small smile.
Ivanna smirks at her uncle and raise her eyebrows ''You went to see her, didn't you?'' she said bluntly making his eyes widened.
''How did you know?''
''You reek of rose and sea. You never wore perfumes.''
All the warriors along with Sif and Balder laughed at their friend ''Princess got you there Thor!'' laugh Volstagg holding his belly.
Thor couldn't reply in time as three guards run towards them and informed them that the Allfather wish to see both Ivanna and Thor.
Although Thor knew exactly what he wanted both of them he wasn't sure enough that he wished Ivanna with them. Helga said that her reaction will not be a pleasant one. At least that is what he remembers of the prophecy.
Once they arrived to the Throne Room they bow in front of their King before Thor nods his head to his father to inform him that now it's the right time to tell her the truth.
''Your father fell to his death a year ago after he attempted to kill Thor and destroy the Realm of the FrostGiants.'' he said bluntly making her uncomfortable under his watch.
She nods her head, ashamed from her father's actions.
Odin narrowed his eyes before the poisonous words came out of his lips ''Your father is alive.''
Her world stopped. She didn't know if she was breathing or if she was blinking. Looking up to Allfather she hiss at him ''My father fell from the Bifrost. He is dead. No man, God nor Giant can escape death from the Rainbow Bridge.''
''Ivanna'' her uncle's voice made her turn her head and look at him. He wore a sorrow look on his face making her boil with anger and sadness.
She shakes her head right and left blinking her tears away ''You are lying. You are all lying! If he was alive why didn't he came home? Why didn't he contact Allmother or you!''
''Because he is not the same man. He has changed.'' answer her Thor with regret.
''And that is why I want the both of you to bring him home.''
Her head snapped to his direction and Thor had to hold her from her shoulders to not rush to Odin and slap him to his face as realization to what he wants him here shot through her head ''You don't want your son here to welcome him back from the dead. You want to punish him.''
''My decision is final granddaughter. You leave in two hours. Be ready. Heimdall will bring you to his exact location.''
With a huff she throws her uncle's hands away from her and walks away without glancing back. Yes she is excited that her father lives, but why didn't he came home. To his mother, to his brother. To her.
Walking towards her room she didn't hear the footsteps from behind her and scream when hands wrapped around her waist and lift her up as they dragged her inside her room.
She slapped he person hard to the back of the head and with a quick move she had a dagger to his throat. Her eyes widened when he saw the blue eyes or Balder and lower her knife but keep it tight to her hand ''What are you doing?''
He smiles down at her and tighten his hands around her waist ''Nothing, just wanted to ask you for a date?'' his question took her of guard.
Blinking her eyes rapidly she shakes her head ''A date?''
''Yes, just me and you.''
''Balder, i-''
''I know I am rushing things but I cannot hide my feelings from you anymore. I love you Ivanna, from the first time I lay my eyes on you I fell in love. Your mind, your heart, your beauty. You are gorgeous.''
His confession made a spark to her heart lit up and a smile to grow to her lips.
She thinks about the options. She never felt loved, even with Arne she never really did feel like she was loved, but with Balder is different. She loves him, but not much to say the words.
Giving him a weak smile she nods her head ''When I return from my mission we will go on a date. I promise.''
If only she was telling the truth.
Two hours later they land to the cliff Heimdall said the jet will pass with Loki in it. Thor said to Ivanna to stay and not get anywhere till she comes with her father. And after ten minutes he came throwing Loki to the hard ground earning a painful grunt from him.
Thor looks to his niece to see her reaction but what he saw make him fear. She wasn't crying, wasn't smiling, no, she had that murderous look to her face as she slowly approached her father but Thor get between them, holding Ivanna by her shoulders.
He shook his head and bring her chin with his rough hand to face him ''Don't do anything stupid'' he whisper for only her to hear and got a nod from the blonde hair girl.
