whats happening?

chapter 23

Loki POV

There was no lift or elevator or whatever you call it in this apartment so I had to go up about 10 flights of stairs. It's not too many so I ran up them to the top. I slid over to his door and knocked on it slight nerves tickling my chest as I tapped my foot on the ground. We left on goodish terms but they could have been better.

I had to keep repeating to myself 'don't come on too strong don't come on too strong' He opened the door "Loki?" paced away taking a deep breath 'Don't come on too strong'

"I've missed you" I smiled too myself but I wasn't facing him still "what's wrong?" "I don't want to come on too strong" "what do you mean?" I flicked my fingers together over and over "I'm umm... The ADHD version of manic right now. I was made aware of it and Thor so I'm just trying to ground myself"

"You don't have too I understand more than most" I smiled even bigger turning around to face him. I ran over to him hugging him all my boundaries that I've built for myself collapsing just cause I really missed this human "I've missed you!" "So have I, do you want some tea?" I nodded and followed him into the kitchen

"so you've gotten out?!" My voice rushed and excited "Ay?" "So what do you do now?" "I know you struggle focusing on stuff you're not interested in so I'm not going to bore you but I work in the biggest radio station in Scotland and one of the biggest in the UK" "Omg that's amazing!" "What about you?" He gave me a cup of tea "I haven't been up to much just reversing most of what happened in the asylum- By accident!" "Oh"

"But that reminds me of why I'm here! The Avengers found a way to bring everyone back and it involves time travel!" "That's incredible" "yeah and they want my help! I'm just worried about a manute detail" "and what's that?" "Time travel is dangerous and I've made a hefty amount of enemies at most points of time" "You don't think you'll survive do you?"

"Everything has its risks but I can't see myself escaping the clutches of death one more time" "do you want to die?" I shrugged "I never wanted to live but for once I don't want to die but I've made peace if I did"

Campbell stood up and pulled his chair closer to me "can you do me a wee favour?" "Sure?!" "Swear to me you'll try not to die and when you don't you come back to visit" he put out his hand and I grinned shaking his hand "I swear"

I jumped up off the chair "this apartment is shit you know that?" "Yeah I know" I thought for a second before clicking my fingers "I have an idea. Now mind I don't know shit about money but..." I conjured a few 100 pound notes "oi I can't accept this" "sure you can I don't need it" "where did you get it from?" "Now that's a story for the next time I visit" he smiled gleefully which made me smile more

"I think there's about 1 million pounds there maybe slightly less. I'm not sure if that's a lot though" "Ay it is way more then some celebrities have. Thank you truly" "your welcome" I walked towards the door "this was lovely Campbell thank you I really needed it and I am truly sorry for Fergus" "your not still blaming yourself for that are ya?" "I guess I am bye Campbell" and I ran down the stairs and back onto the ship

"Come on time is at the essence" "haha very funny" rocket said sarcastically "that's rude I thought that was a great pun" he rolled his eyes as we took off towards America where the avengers. Probably mainly Tony are setting up a time machine.

When we arrived we headed into the big white building formally known as the avengers headquarters. Tony walked past us "move aside Lebowski" he directed at Thor. He was pulling a load of stuff.

The time machine looked really cool and I couldn't help but approach it. When I say approach I mean run over and slide myself under it. "Your interested in this machine aren't you?" "I mean yeah I've been reading a lot about time travel recently and I've always found earth technology interesting" "Yeah I know"

I looked at Stark "I mentioned it before?" "Yeah- well little you did" "of course they did" I rolled my eyes looking back under it "Where going to discuss a plan if you'd like to join in?" I slid out "Do I actually have a choice?" "No not really. Come on"

I jumped up and followed after him. I sat beside Thor in the room "ok we have the how sorted now just the where and the when" "At least everyone in this room has come across an infinite stone at least once in there history" "substitute come a cross to damn right almost been killed" "or tried used it to try kill us" Steve looked at me and I just gave a small wave with a tiny smile.

"Well I haven't but I don't even know what the hell your all talking about" the conversation slowly faded as a slowly lost interest. I didn't even noticed I was zoned out until I felt Thor nudge me "Huh?"

"Welcome back Loki" I looked up at Stark my eyes darting around the room not focusing on him properly. I did a little jump in my chair to fix my posture "what's happened?" "We've worked out the when and where?" "Already?" "Its been a while Loki" I looked around properly and noticed most people had left.

"Loki are you sure your ok?" Thor asked me. I looked at him "yeah I just zoned out that's all. I'm not overly interested in the stones and frankly have a bad track record with them"

He nodded and I pushed my self up off the chair. "Do you still need me?" "Yes I do" Natasha said. She brought me into a slight smaller room and a I jumped on the table. She sat beside me. "Everyone has decided where and when they're going except for you"

I nodded "what are the options?" "2016 is the soul and power stone form Morage and Vormir, the time mind and space from 2012 new York, and the reality stone from Asgard in 2017" I thought for a moment "well Asgard is definitely off the table. I'm not risking ever seeing that old bastard again" "understandable" "who's going to Morage?" "Nebula and-" "well that's off the table. I'd also prefer not to go to vormir. So I guess that leaves new york but I'm not going anywhere near the mind stone or past me" "well I guess you can get the time stone with Bruce" "Yay a lovley father and kid outing woohoo" I had a little bit more energy in my voice then I thought I would.

She just rolled her eyes. I stood up but she stopped me "Where you having a vision?" "Excuse me?" "A vision?" "Vision?" "So that's a no I guess" "what do you mean a vision?" "Younger you use to have these visions. Memorys of they're further your past. I thought maybe you where remember something from your time here" "no? Still empty" "so you just zoned out?" "What's so confusing about that Natasha?" "I just didn't think it was possible to get that zoned out that's all" "it's called ADHD and BPD darling"
