Loki's Darling

chapter eighteen

"I don't mean to impose," Loki began before a bottle thrown from Valkyrie's hand came whirling towards us. Loki didn't flinch. "But, uh, the Grandmaster has a great many ship. I may have stolen the access codes to his security system."

"And suddenly, you're overcome with an urge to do the right thing," Valkyrie said.

"Heavens no, I've run out of favor with the Grandmaster and in exchange with codes and access to a ship, I'm asking for safe passage through the Anus." I stifled my laughter at that ridiculous name. Thor and everyone decided to trust Loki and I. The next thing I knew, we were back in the Grandmaster's palace thing and Loki was punching in the codes. We got through and Loki and Thor shot the guards, one after another. "It's clear, come on, love." Loki said as I trailed behind them. We got in an elevator. "Here's the thing," Loki began. "(y/n) and I are probably better off staying here on Sakaar."

"That's exactly what I was thinking," Thor said taking us by surprise.

"Did you just agree with me?"

"Come on this place is perfect for you. It's savage, chaotic, lawless... Brother, you can do great here." Loki winced.

"Do you truly think so little of me?" Loki asked.

"Loki, I thought the world of you. I thought we were going to fight side by side forever but, at the end of the day, you're you and I'm me. I don't know, maybe there's still good in you. But, let's be honest, our paths diverged a long time ago." A look of somewhat sadness took over Loki's face.

"Yeah," Loki said. "It's probably for the best that we never see each other again." He doesn't mean that. I see straight through that boy.

"That's what you've always wanted," Thor replied placing a pat on Loki's back. "Hey let's do "Get Help." Thor suggested.

"What?" Loki said.

"'Get Help.'"

"No."

"Come on, you love it."

"I hate it."

"It's great. It works every time."

"It's humiliating."

"Do you have a better plan?"

"No."

"We're doing it."

"We are not doing get help," I giggled.

"Stop bickering, you two." I said to them. Thor picked Loki up and began to yell "Get help." I giggled in the elevator so they wouldn't see me. Thor threw Loki and the guards fell over. I walked out and assisted Loki up. We began to walk and Loki made clones of me and him. He pressed his finger to his lips signaling for me to keep quiet as he started to betray Thor.

"I feel it won't make much of a difference," Loki's clone said. Thor sighed.

"Loki..." He said annoyed.

"I know I've betrayed you many times before but this time it's really nothing personal. The reward for your capture will set us up nicely," Loki said.

"Never one for sentiment, were you?" Thor asked.

"Easier to let it burn," Loki replied smugly.

"I agree," Thor said as he held up the electricity thingy. Loki frantically searched his body for the button thing and Thor triggered it. Loki fell to the ground in pain. I gasped and bent down with him.

"Loki!" I exclaimed. I felt Thor's arms wrap around my waist and hoist me up over his shoulder. "Thor! Put me down, right now!" I yelled. "Unhand me, you oaf!" Thor groaned.

"Wow, you've even started to speak like him." I hit at Thor's back but he didn't even flinch. He laid me down in the back of a ship and I tried to get up. "It pains me to do this to you but, it must be done."

"What are you-." He knocked me out.

Later...

I woke up as we were going through some sort of portal. I stood up and marched over to Thor. "You." I said forcefully. "Where is Loki?" I said but the pressure from the portal knocked me out once more. I woke up a few minutes later still in the ship but, this time, with only Bruce and Valkyrie. "Where am I? Where is Loki?" I demanded.

"You talk far too much," Valkyrie said as she began firing at the massive, black, wolf. She shot at it for a while before saying, "This stupid dog won't die!" Bruce slowly and hesitantly, stood up. He jumped out of the ship and fell right on the bridge. The wolf stopped for a moment before walking forward more.  He transformed into the hulk and grabbed the wolf by its tail. He yanked it and threw the wolf into the water. I jumped out and began to fight Hela's skull-faced warriors. They're actually pretty easy. A larger-looking spaceship began to emerge from the clouds. On it, Loki had his arms extended and his helmet on.

"Your savior is here!" He exclaimed.

"Loki!" I yelled excitedly.

"Did you miss me?" He joked as he walked up to me. "I know you did," we stood nearly chest to chest. "Hello, darling," he cupped my face in his hands and kissed me gently on the lips.

"Hello," I replied. He pulled away.

"Everyone on that ship, now!" He yelled to the asgardians.

"Welcome home. Saw you coming," Heimdall said to him.

"Of course you did." Side by side, Loki and I fought back the evil aliens. Occasionally I would catch him glancing at me with heart eyes. I returned the glance, of course. Thor blasted Hela with lightning and thunder. Loki and I watched in awe. After Thor came down to fight with us, everything went much smoother. One of the aliens placed a cut on my left cheek. Loki looked to the alien and said, "big mistake." He stabbed the alien multiple times in the chest. I giggled. Soon, we were left all alone on the bridge with Hela herself.

"I think we should disband the revenges," said Thor.

"Hit her with a lightning blast," Loki said breathily.

"I just hit her with the biggest lightning blast in the history of lightning blasts, it did nothing."

"We just need to hold her off until everyone's on board." Valkyrie chimed in.

"It won't end there," Thor said. "The longer Hela's on Asgard, the more powerful she grows. She'll hunt us down. We need to stop her here and now."

"So, what do we do?"

"I'm not doing "Get Help." I chuckled at Loki.

"Asgard's not a place, it's a people," Thor replied. "Loki, this was never about stopping Ragnarok, it was about causing it. Surtur's crown, the vault. It's the only way."

"Bold move, brother. Even for me." I ran with Loki to the vault where Odin's treasures are kept. We grabbed the crown and as we made our way to the eternal flame, Loki stopped by the tesseract.

"Loki... No..." I usually believe in Loki's crazy plans but this is not one of those times. "Please, don't."

"Darling, you seem to forget who's in control." I rolled my eyes as he picked up the tesseract. "You'll pay for that later." He placed a kiss on my forehead and we ran out of the vault.

We made it on board the ship and I stood outside Thor's room while he and Loki had a heart to heart. They came out and we walked through the crowd of people. We stood staring out the window into space. I tapped Loki's shoulder and he leaned his head down a slight bit.

"This reminds me of my first time," I bit my lip and Loki blushed.

"Who with?" He whispered.

"Just some loser," I teased. Loki smiled down at me.

I'm glad all that's over. Now Loki and I have a shot at a normal life. A life where we don't have to be in Odin form or whatever.
