"Loki, no!" you scream. He hesitates.
"No? How can you say that? Loki, do it; finish this!" Enchantress yells.
"No! We can't. Look around." The sky was beginning to lighten, a few cabs had already passed by, "Before long, this scene will be discovered if we don't move quickly."
"Then we must dispatch her." Sif offers, equally confused,
"Loki, if we kill her, what will that accomplish?"
"It will end her reign." He says simply,
"No. She will reincarnate. If we kill her now, we face her again later. We need to detain her, and judge her accordingly."
You see he still wants to finish this ordeal quickly, and you think he may ignore you and carry out Hela's execution, but then his shoulders drop.
"She's right." Thor agrees, reluctantly, "Heimdall!"
"Here? In the middle of the city?" Enchantress asks quickly.
"There is no time to find a more secluded location, and risking moving her is risking her getting away. Heimdall--"
"Wait!" you call again, seeing Váli running out from the tree line. He runs as fast as he can, straight toward you, pausing only when he sees Thor.
"Whoa." He breathes, enthralled with Thor's presence. You crouch next to him and pull him toward you, trying to get his attention.
"Listen... Váli... we're about to go on a little trip. As much as I want to tell you to run home—"
"I belong with you guys." He finishes for you, looking you in the eye. You nod,
"I think you would be safer with us."
"Sigyn..." Loki speaks up, "Who is this?" you stand up, the boy hiding shyly behind you,
"Loki, meet Váli." He peeks around your side,
"Váli... meaning..."
"Your son." You're not sure what you had expected him to do, whether you thought he would deny it saying your son was never born, or if he would even be happy. One thing was for sure, you weren't ready for him to pass Thor the Nightsword, kneel in front of Váli, look him in the eyes, and pull him into a hug. Váli hugs him tight, his eyes squeezed shut. Loki straightens, lifting his son with him.
"Heimdall, when you're ready." Loki says, softly. You never mention to him that you saw his eyes tear.
The sun just breaches the horizon, the first rays of the sunrise competing with the bright lights of the bifrost as it envelopes them all, transporting them to Asgard.
