whats happening?

Chapter 17

I awoke from the lucid dream thing. I was looking down and I could see her feet very close to mine which immediately made me uncomfortable.

"Loki?" I scooted slightly away from her and she moved away from me realising why I scooted away.

"Did it work?" "I-I think so" the silence was deafining but it didn't last long when Fergus burst into the room "Loki! Somethings wrong with Campbell" I got up and followed after him. Ms Brady following after.

We could hear his voice over the speaker with different songs playing over each other. I made it through the crowd and to the door of the hospital radio station.

"That's no dance music is it? We're supposed to be rocking and rolling" I knocked on the window to get his attention

"because we are loonies and we are proud! I'm a manic depressive and I'm proud! My friends some of the greatest geniuses in history have been manic depressive, on a manic roll. Vincent van Gogh, Handel Sherman, Wolf Sylvia, milliean vivian lee. That is 100% true folk. This is about all you manic depressives out there. We are loonies and we are proud!"

He started playing some more music. The only way I could get in was to use my magic but they'd probably immediately lock me away.

"Have you ever noticed how much mental health imigary there is in
Popular music. Tonight are guest on the loonie toons show is professor of musicology Dr brookie. Aye aye in the popular music you will find much imagery against mental illness indicating an underlying fear and fascination with madness for example. Please..."

He spoke in a different accent but faded into his own. Why do I care so much about him? I don't want him to get hurt but I hardly know him.

"The deeper anxiety about going a little bit crazier, another example is..." He put on another song "This explicitly deep anxiety is about going a lot quicker while a pile of manical, and then again in a song like" he put on another song

"I've seen a fascination with obsessive behaviour and some songs called the greatest fears of ours in this case the twin fears of magic mediocrity and of light and crap songs"

I shook the handle trying to open the door but it didn't budge "I have" he put on another song "Which has nothing to do with loonies but it's a great song! Wow I'm sweating I'm just gonna open a window"

He ran over to the window and sat on the window still "it's a long way down from this window! But I'm so high I can fly!" Ok I was starting to panic now. "Oh que the song, que the song!" He fixed up the music before running and jumping back on the window still.

"What do you think boys and girls, today we close are eyes and say I do believe in magic that Peter Pan will really be able to fly! Let's try it! 'I do believe in magic' Come on! 'I do believe in magic!' Oh their coming to get me folks! Their coming to get your very own Campbell Bain! Wait! Wait! I've got the perfect song! Oh yes I can't wait to see some action! Oh if looks like I'm at a massive disadvantage! Yes! They found the spare key! They may be able to unlock it but- Ohhh the key is still in on the inside!"

I put my finger at the key hole "Oh wait! It's Loki! If he can't get in I don't think anyone can!" I was able to unlock the door and open it "Oh he's done it! And he's in!" I walked towards him but he fell back without any warning off the ledge of the window.

I quickly ran to the window catching him with my magic. I brought him back up but he had already fallen unconscious from the drop. I placed him down before one of the workers grabbed me and pinned me down to the table. I was so shocked I completely lost the ability to fight back. He put a massive needle in my neck and I fell unconscious.

...

I woke up all disoriented before getting my bearings. Campbell was across from me sitting up.

It didn't take me long to realise we where in our room. I sat up on the edge of the bed while Campbell stood up and tried to open the door but it didn't open.

"We're locked in here?" "Yeah" we both sounded so groggy "Maybe for the best" he sat beside me

"What happened?" "You almost killed yourself" maybe I should have sugar coated it... Ehh it's fine "How am I alive?" "I saved you I guess" "well thank you- wait why are you locked in here with me?"

"They may or may not have seen that I have powers and they may or may not have figured out I'm the person who attacked New York all that time ago" he made a thats-not-great expression which I couldn't help but smile at.

"How are you feeling?" I decided to ask to break the silence. I've only discovered now that I hate silence, it feels lonely, it feels empty "Good I guess, not good good but good" "how long have you been manic for?" "I don't know but I never do know when I'm manic I just feel really, really good like incredibly good. Maybe a week or two I'm not sure"

I sighed nodding my head "How are you feeling?" "What do you mean?" "You just had to use your powers to save me, to be noble, but you immediately get punished for it" "I usually do get punished for doing good anyway, I guess that's why I slipped into the villain persona cause at least then they'd have a reason to hate me"

"And is that what you're gonna do now?" "I don't know I'm pissed at them and when I'm angry I can't usually control what I do or say it might be good to put them in their place. I think they need that" "and I think you're thinking about this the wrong way but who am I to say you aren't thinking straight I just jumped out a window"

I leaned back on my hands behind me looking at him "aren't you not on some sort of drug for that?" "Yeah" "Do they not work?" "Ay but there's only so much a pill can do" I hummed "That reminds me do you not have to take a drug?" I thought for a second before humming "Yeah but because I have a pretty good lid on my ADHD I don't need a drug for that, and there is no medication for BPD and my therapist has refused to give me medication for my PTSD because of my BPD"

A/n:
If you've somehow kept reading to chapter 17 then well done I'm not sure I'd make it this far... Maybe I would I'm not sure. Anyway who's excited for the endgame chapters in the future? I am! I have a creative way to write Loki into endgame which takes inspiration from the Loki series so hopefully it comes together!
