22- Well shit...

CHAPTER 22

LOKI'S POV

When the two people came into the light and revealed their identities I was beyond confused.

"Oh, how the mighty have fallen," Thanos chuckled, walking far too close to me. "The future king of Asgard sitting here helpless," Throwing his big purple head back as he laughed.

I glared at him in disgust. Who did he think he was, laughing at me? I am a god! the worthless brute will pay for treating me with such disrespect!

"What is it you wanted with him again?" Sigyn's quiet voice echoed in the small room.

My face must have failed to hide my surprise when I saw her because she smirked in my direction before continuing.

"I have my own business I would like to attend to with him, so whatever it is you need from him make it quick."

Sigyn hadn't changed at all throughout the century's worth of time we spent apart. I hadn't missed her though, she was nothing more of a fling. Her platinum hair was neatly tied up in an elegant bun. And she had obviously been struggling financially because her blue gown was slightly torn around the hem of the skirt and the sleeves.

"What do you want from me?" I finally spoke.

The pair of imbeciles smirked at me. "I'll leave you two alone." Sigyn turned on her heel and walked out of the room, leaving me alone with the purple grape.

"I want the tesseract, I know you have it." Thanos voiced.

"Like I would just hand it over to you." I scoffed. "It's too dangerous, in the wrong hands it could cause chaos."

"I'm not asking for much, Loki. All I am asking is that you give me the tesseract. After that, you are free to go back home." Thanos tried to negotiate.

"I will never give it to you." I spat at him. But it only caused his smirk to grow bigger.

"I was hoping you would say that. How's your beloved fiancé doing? I wonder if she would like to pay you a little visit?" Thanos smirked at me. My heart skipped a beat as fear took over my body. If Katherine gets hurt because of me I will never forgive myself. My blood boiled and anger flared within me.

"Don't you dare lay a hand on her, you putrid beast!" I snarled.

"But you're not giving me much of a choice, are you? How about I give you a few days to think about it. I am not a violent person Loki. All I wish for is that you give me the tesseract."

"Let's say I give it over to you, what would you do with it?" I questioned him, obviously not serious about giving him the tesseract. But I also didn't want Katherine to get involved.

"I am so glad you asked. When you give me the tesseract, I will help save the universe from its own disintegration. But first I need the tesseract, afterwards, I will depart to earth to capture a fraction of the infinity stones. Soon enough I would have captured all the infinity stones, I will be unstoppable."

My face went pale. I couldn't just give him the tesseract. But in not doing so I would have put Katherine and our unborn child into great danger.

"You have Five days to come to a decision, If you are still unwilling to comply by then, I will have your fiancé come over to persuade you personally." Thanos finally walked out of the room. Once the sound of his footsteps faded, I sat back down on the bed.

Was I going to give him the tesseract? How can I? But how can I not?

Regardless of my decision, in the end, I would be losing something. Giving him the tesseract will endanger the entire universe, but not giving it to him will endanger my family. Was it selfish that I just wanted to give him the tesseract? I would die before endangering my family, but morally speaking the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. But Thanos would find a way to get his purple oversized hands on the tesseract whether or not  I willingly hand it over to him. 

I suddenly recalled seeing Sigyn here with him. What was she doing here? What could she possibly want from me?

You would think that after an entire century you would get over an ex. But I guess she wasn't kidding when she told me that she would love me forever. And to think that she wanted me to marry her.

"Shit" I cursed, suddenly remembering the wedding. I was supposed to get married to Katherine in a few days. What day was it? I hope she's ok. She must have realised that I wasn't at the palace by now.

A force of panic struck me. what if she thinks I left willingly? What if she thinks I left her and our child? Knowing Odin, he would force her to marry Thor. He wouldn't let the wedding guests know about the prince getting cold feet.

I let my head fall onto the lavish pillow as I let out a cry of fury and frustration.

I need to find a way out of this mess, for Katherine. I will return home to her, no matter what the cost.

Consequences be damned.
