 "Loki?" Thor asks, poking his head into the dark room I lay in. After he walks in and shuts the door behind him, he frowns "Lady Natasha told me you were screaming for mercy about fifteen minutes ago."

 Sniffling, I cover myself and stare up at the ceiling "I'd rather not talk about it." I jump as I see his death for the third time. It ends with him slipping into Odin sleep. Not the worst death. He just dies of a natural death.

 "Tell me." he insists, sitting on the bed next to me.

 "Heimdall has gone to Vanhala." I clear my throat "He passed the rest of his powers onto me." he brushes the wet haircut out of my face "I know exactly where everyone is. What everyone is doing." I finally roll my head his way "I also know how they die." I whisper.

 "Oh Loki!" he whispers, before gripping the sheets under me and pulling me in his lap "You shouldn't have to know that..."

 I sniffle "In the past fifteen minutes, I've seen thousands of people die at their own hands. I've seen thousands get murdered." I huff "Given the fact that the population of Midgard is only about a million people, I do believe that this world is pretty fucked up!"

 He holds me tighter "If I could take the power from you, I would. Believe me-"

 "Shut up you insufferable oaf!" I huff and roll out of bed, gripping the sheets around me "I wouldn't wish this on anyone! Don't you dare say that you would take it from me!" he stares at me in disbelief "No soul deserves to see their loved ones die!"

 "But you don't deserve it either!" he insists rather loudly.

 I speak louder "But I do!" I insist "Look what I've done in the past decade! I've comitted mass genocide on my own race! I've tried to kill you! Twice! I've slaughtered thousands in New York!" I shake my head "If anyone deserve this, it's me!"

 "Stop!" he stands after meeting and grips my shoulders, softer than needed "Just stop degrading yourself, please."

 "Why are you so nice?" He gives me a confused look and I'm huff "The old you would push me into the combat field and laugh if I got hurt!" I state "But, since you returned, you haven't got rough at all!"

 "Because I love you, okay?" he asks, wrappings his arms around my waist "I lost you and I didn't think you would come back..." he whispers "I saw you and I knew my life had changed." he sighs "We've both changed."

 "Still, I want you to get angry with me!" I insist "I want you to smack me where I'm being a hormonal bastard!"

 "Hmmmm." he bites his lip and rubs his hands down from my waist, to my bum "I think I can do that." And with that, he smacks my arse and I blush "I love when I make you blush."

 "Thor Odinson, you are insufferable!" I chuckle, before pressing my lips to his.

 "So I've been told." he smirks, before dropping his hands and sighing "Come on, we better go meet the others."

 "Wait!" I order as he reaches the door. He turns back with a smile toying at his lips "I'm not dressed." with that, I turn around and drop the sheets, before pulling on black skinny jeans and a black three quarter sleeve shirt. When I turn back, Thor stares at me intensely "What?"

 "If there wasn't a dozen people in the next room..." he sighs, before walking out of the door.

After I walk out after him, I see everyone staring at us "Bloody hell are you looking at?" I ask.

 The group consists of: Natasha, Clint, Fury, Shuri, T'challa, Groot, Rocket, Strange, Scarlet, Bucky, Peter, Drax and Mantis.

 They instantly all look away and I get an intense headache. With a groan, I grip the wall and squeeze my eyes shut "Loki, are you okay?"

 In the darkness of my eyelids, I see a flash of purple. Suddenly, my vision lightens up and I see him. He carries a green girl in one arm and a blue girl in the other.

 "Loki?" Thor grips my shoulder and I'm pulled out of vision. He looks at me worriedly "Loki, what is it?"

 "It's nothing." I lie, before giving a convincing smile "Come on, lets cook."

 With that, we separate. Thor mans the grill, while I fry the chicken. During our separation, Shuri walks up with a snicker "Do you think they could fit anyone else on that balcony?"

 Giving a short glance back, I find that Thor, T'challa, Drax, Peter, Rocket, Groot and Fury, stand on the balcony. "I don't believe so." Bucky scoffs, leaning against the counter beside me.

 I turn to Shuri "I was wondering, how big is Wakanda?"

 "300,000 squared kilometers." She frowns "Why?"

 "It's height is 212ish kilometers, yes?" she nods "So it's volume is 8925ish, right?" She nods, hesitatently. "What is the air capacity?"

 "Last time I checked, 70." she clears her throat "The air filtrater shut off the day before you showed up. I checked right before I came here."

 "That doesn't make sense." I state and she looks at me, questionably "They should be at 85 at least."

 "How do you know that?" Scarlet asks jumping up on the counter beside Bucky.

 "It's simple." I shrug "Find the radius of the area, then find the volume from there. After that, you take in the amount of oxygen a human takes in. It's 11,000 litres. One cubed kilometre is 1,000 litres. That's eleven cubed kilometres for one person a day. They've been there for 62 days. For three people, that's about 10 percent by now. For four people, it should be 14 at most. By my calculations, there's nine people in Wakanda at this moment." then, I pull a piece of chicken out of the oil.

 When I don't get a response, I look up to find that Natasha and Clint sit on the island and Mantis sits on a barstool. All five of them stare at me, preposterously "What?" I ask.

 "You realize that that is some impossible math, right?" Clint asks.

 "It's not that hard." I state, before turning back to the chicken "It's only simple formulas smashed together..." when I pull the rest of the chicken out, I sigh "Halfway done. I put them back in for a second fry."

 "I sense sadness." Mantis frowns and I quickly look away.

 The thoughts of tonight is definate in my mind. I don't want to, but I know if I tell anyone, Thor will try to stop me. "Loki? What troubles you?" she asks, resting a hand on my shoulder.

 I turn to her "It's nothing darling." but she shakes her head "I'm just thinking about something that is going to hurt me."

 "Does it have something to do with the argument you and Thor had?" Natasha asks softly "Or about the thing that happened when you left the bedroom?"

 After a sigh, I state "It's something that I have to do." I shake my head "It'll hurt Thor, and I won't see him for a while after that."

 "What are you going to do?" Shuri asks.

 With a sigh, I turn back around and start refrying the chicken "Don't worry about." I insist "Lets just live in the moment and leave tomorrow for the worrying, yeah?" truth is, I'm worried too much to think about anything else.
