  Steve stood in the bedroom staring at the note that had been left on his bed. After calming down he had gone to find Loki to apologize for his harsh words but to no use. He couldn't find him. When he finally checked their bedroom, he found the note that the god had left for him:

My Dear Captain,

I deeply regret my actions and choices of this night that has passed. Yet, at the same time I could not truly regret the decisions I made, for I made them in a way I thought was right. I felt that by inviting your friends to dinner with all of us would make you feel more comfortable to tell them what was going on.

I was wrong.

Or at least in your eyes I was wrong.

I felt you needed the push otherwise you would continue to hide the truth from your friends.

However, I guess I shall admit that I did it out of pure selfishness. I did not wish to remain a secret. I did not wish to continue hiding. I am not a creature that enjoys hiding in the shadows, hidden away from the world. I feel confined.

Perhaps I could have told you my feelings, but I could not bring myself to tell you this. For at the same time I liked having you all to myself. If I told you all of this, would you really have understood what I meant? What I felt?

Though, you were right about one thing, Captain, I do like being alone. I've been alone my whole life, even when I had Thor. He never understood. Either way, being alone isn't new to me, and though I do not like hiding, I know where to go without being found. Between caves and cold places, places that are deserted and no one is around to see me.

You say you love me, Captain, and I told you it was a lie. I can see now that was exactly what it was. A lie.

Never forget, My Darling Captain, I am the lie smith. You cannot lie to me.

I've decided to leave you, Captain, before you decide to leave me. You have broken some of the walls that I have spent centuries trying to build up, to keep people out of my heart. I will never make that mistake again. You have taught me a lot since my brief time with you. I will never forget it because it taught me to never open my heart again.

I had hoped you were different, Captain, but apparently you are not. You swore you would fight for us, yet you fought against us. You pushed me away.

Very well.

I will leave.

Goodbye, Darling Captain.

Loki.

Steve sat down on the bed as he looked through the note once again. He was left confused and bothered by this. Why did Loki leave? It was clearly stated in the letter why he left but he still couldn't grasp it.

Loki was gone.

He had left.

Spurred into action, Steve stood up from the bed and quickly dialed Tony's number and impatiently waiting for the billionaire to answer.

"Hey, Capsicle, surprised to hear from you so soon. I thought-"

Steve quickly cut him off by saying, "Loki's gone."

The line went silent for a moment before Tony's response came through again, "You mean he went out for a walk and didn't tell you?"

The captain shook his head even though he knew that the other couldn't see him. "No, I mean he's gone. He left me a note and everything. He left, Tony. He's not coming back. God, I really screwed up."
