Loki's Adventures

#3 Dr. Strange...

#3 Dr. Strange…

#2 had some complications,  but you didn't miss much.  Basically,  Loki has figured out that Thanos' plan might have worked,  so he goes to Dr. Strange to get caught up.  #2 is soon coming!!

Appearing in the form of his brother, Thor, Loki walked down the streets of England, heading for Bleaker street. He was wearing an illusion of Thor’s casual flannel sweater and jeans and was feeling disgusted at it. But he pushed down his inner fashion diva and stepped up to Dr. Strange’s door.

            Loki wasn’t sure how the Avengers had moved through time, but he assumed it was through Dr. Strange, though he wasn’t sure about that. Dr. Strange was Loki’s best bet, and Dr. Strange wasn’t likely to kill Loki on spot, unlike the other Avengers. Loki had to remind himself however, that he had left his timeline (the Loki escapes with Tesseract after trying to rule Earth), to another timeline (Loki doesn’t know this, but it’s the timeline where he had died at the hands of Thanos in Infinity War), where he didn’t know what he had done and where he was.

            That’s why, just in case, he was disguised as Thor. If Loki, in this universe, had tried to take over any other planets, he might not be getting a warm welcome.

            Loki knocked on the door. He waited. Looked around the street. It was normal gray day, people were busily walking around the streets. Nothing was drastically changed at all. Not that he had been to see Dr. Strange before. He only knew of the Wizard and where he lived by spying on Thanos.  

            The door opened, but no one was there. Loki’s eyes narrowed. He could sense vast amounts of magic in the building. This was dangerous, but he stepped inside anyway.

            At the window, floating in the air, was a man with a red cape. The man turned and Loki could see Dr. Strange’s face, long and sharp, wisdom and magic flowing behind unassuming brown eyes.

            “Thor, what a surprise,” Strange said, no surprise showing on his face. “You’re adventures with the Guardians of the Galaxy have treated you well I see, lost some weight.”

            Loki looked down at ‘his’ muscular frame. It was the same as it always was. Who were the Guardians of the Galaxy? Maybe this wasn’t such a good idea. A lot had happened.

            “Yes,” he said in Thor’s voice. “But I haven’t found him. Loki, I mean…”

Loki wondered if this was going too far, if Dr. Strange would see straight through it. But Strange nodded sadly.

            “I assume you’re talking about Loki,” Strange said. “Mead?” A giant mug of mead appeared in Loki’s hand. “Sit?” Loki found himself sitting, and the mead splashed over the brim, spilling unto his hand. He inwardly sighed.

            “Yes, Loki. Haven’t found him. Was wondering actually, if you couldn’t…” Loki trailed off, letting Strange connect the dots.

            “See if you’ll ever find him?” he asked, sadly, “Thor. Loki is in another alternate universe, not this one. And that Loki, the one that escaped, isn’t even the Loki that you knew. He didn’t get locked in the Asgardian prison, he didn’t help you try to destroy the Ether, he didn’t help you kill your sister, Hela. He wasn’t there while you saved each other’s lives. He didn’t have those talks with you, didn’t hug you, didn’t tell you that he was your brother. He wasn’t with you on Sacaar and he wasn’t there to avenge your mother’s death and he wasn’t there with you when your father died- Are you okay?”

            Loki’s mind was whirling. He had a Sister? His Mother had died? His Father was dead? He had hugged his Brother?

            Loki’s vision was spotting. It didn’t help that he hadn’t eaten anything for many hours. What had Thor done?

            “Loki, calm down, you’re having a panic attack,” Dr. Strange said evenly.
