𖡡 Midgard
"That is terrible." Bruce said.
"That is worse than mine." Wanda said on the verge of tears.
"How did you endure all of these?" Scott asked.
"How could they do this to a child?" Thor muttered between his tears. A part in him was telling that Loki had lived things similar to those as well.
They were all sad for the things she had to live. And there was pity in their eyes which was making Nova feel uncomfortable and angry.
"I don't want anyone's pity." Nova said raising her head high.
She could feel Loki's stare on her. The others were busy deciding how to behave while Loki was thinking about the way her expression was empty. Nova, however was avoiding looking at him.
"I am sorry, my dear sister." Dora said wiping her tears away.
Nova looked into her eyes carefully and raised a brow.
"Firstly, I am not your sister." Nova stood up. "And secondly, you aren't sorry. You are lying. You can't trick anyone but me."
She then almost run out the room in anger. Loki had a question in his mind so that he decided to leave the shaken Avengers alone and go after her.
Nova was hearing his footsteps but refusing to turn back stubbornly while Loki was determined to not to call her. They then reached to the wall so that Nova had to face him.
"Fine, what is it?" Nova sighed.
"Was it that hard?" Loki smirked.
"Quit smirking at me." Nova said.
"I am not smirking." Loki said.
"Well, stop laughing at me." Nova spoke.
"I am not laughing!" Loki protested.
"Then, quit whatever you are doing!" Nova said angrily.
"This is me with a cherry disposition; A ray of sunshine in the mist of bleakness. Don't put a cloud over my sunshine." Loki said dramatically trying to lighten her mood.
"This is an excuse to laugh at me." Nova said coldly.
"RAIN CLOUD!" Loki exclaimed and pointed her.
"Just get to matter." Nova said trying and failing to not to laugh.
"Are you mad at me?" Loki asked. "I sense there is something bothering you."
"Is there a reason for me to be mad at you?" Nova asked. "I mean you just betrayed me and then accused me from betrayal. No big deal."
"You knew, didn't you? That was why you made that 'prank'." Loki said.
"Am I looking like an idiot from there?" Nova spoke.
"Not at all." Loki said.
"Will you tell me what you want?" Nova asked impatiently.
"Not if you don't tell me if you are mad at me to not." Loki replied.
"I am not going to bear grudges." Nova hesitated before telling. "What's more, you betrayed me, then I betrayed you. So, we are alright. Just tell what you want."
"Then, what is the thing bothering you and making you angry at the same time?" Loki asked.
"Dora, she was lying when she said that she was sorry for my past." Nova said.
"Why didn't you read her mind?" Loki asked.
"I don't think it is a right thing to do and furthermore I have to make contact with her to read her mind." Nova explained.
"Maybe you were wrong?" Loki asked.
"I hope so." Nova said. "What was the thing that you wanted to tell to me?"
"Was there illusion on you when you were watching the video?" Loki finally asked. "No-one would be able to not to react to that video."
Nova lowered her head and started rubbing her left hand. 'Should I tell him? How will I tell him? He will look at me with pity.' She thought. 'I don't want to lie to him. I can't lie to him either, he would see that I was lying. What the hell have I gotten myself into?! I have to tell the truths now!!'
"You are nervous." Loki stated.
"No, I am not." Nova protested raising her head.
"Yes, you are. You are rubbing your hands." Loki said.
Nova looked down at her hands and saw that he was right. She dropped her hands to her sides at once.
"Wait, how do you know that I do it when I am nervous?" Nova asked.
"I asked first." Loki said.
"Umm..well, Hel enjoys watching people suffer and that is why all of her tortures are being recorded." Nova explained in difficulty. "She then watches them as entertainment and to cause more pain... she made all of us, I mean, all of the prisoners including me to watch those records for thousand times. She called those nights entertainment day. After a while it doesn't hurt anymore. You go numb and feel stranger to all those emotions."
"Have you thought about killing her?" Loki asked angrily. He tried really hard to take control of his feelings, miserably failed. He didn't know where those feelings were coming from in the first place.
"I am planning to." Nova shortly said. "But, that doesn't mean that you can avoid my question."
"Really?" Loki asked in disbelief and shook his head since he was hoping that she would forget about it. "This is a habit of mine and...my mother. Since you are me-"
"I am not you." Nova interrupted him. "It is not how it works. Well, you are asking me if we share the same soul. The question is wrong."
"What?" Loki asked.
"First of all each and every soul is individually different. And we don't have a soul. We are a soul." Nova explained. "So, if we think that our souls are different and we are our souls that means that we are different."
"How do you know that all?" Loki asked.
"Hel was planning on attacking other dimensions once we were done with all nine realms. So, I had to learn about dimensions and how it all works." Nova replied. "Is there anything else?"
Loki shook his head and Nova went back her room to wait till the practice of resurrection charm.
