are you broken? so am i. (Strangefrost story)

I

After Thanos' death, Loki wasn't afraid of mind manipulation anymore, that's why he decided to win his brothers' trust back again and join the Avengers. He didn't want to fight his brother and be the bad guy anymore. It wasn't easy first but when Thor told the team what Thanos did to Loki, all soon got used to Loki's everyday presence, except Strange, who moved to the compound to help with the mess after the previous events.

There wasn't a day they wouldn't insult or trick each other. Stephen just couldn't get over the fact Loki once almost killed Tony and Loki couldn't forgive Strange what happened when they met in New York. Moreover, Fury decided it'd be the best if all sorcerers trained together so they could learn from each other and get better at their skills.

Poor Wanda had to spend with those two fools whole days in a special training room. "Strange-you-ass-hole-I'm-go-ing-to-kill-you-" Strange stood there, smirking. He let Loki falling through the portals again, enjoying how pissed Loki always got. "You know I can kill you both with my mind and I'll do it if you don't stop right now. I'm tired of you two." Wanda scoffed and threw Strange across the room. Portals closed because of sorcerer's shock and Loki stayed in. "Great, now I lost him." Wanda rolled her eyes and left the training room. "Let's see how long it's gonna take him to return." Strange chuckled and went to get himself a cup of coffee.

Loki arrived at Avengers compound in three days, tired and pissed of. "Mount Everest? Are you serious, Strange?" Loki burst in the kitchen where Thor, Sam, Bucky and Strange were eating breakfast. "Oh, nice to see you so soon. Wanna join us?" Strange answered, sarcastically. "How you dare you pathetic excuse of a mortal." Loki was about to pull out a knife when Thor stopped him, placing his hand on Loki's chest and examining his forehead. "Loki, you're bleeding. What happened?" "Let it be, Thor. I'm fine." Loki said and stormed out of the kitchen, heading in his room to take a long shower.

Loki was so ready for revenge. Strange had to pay for what he had done to him. He's God, after all. No mortal was going to insult him this way. "Let's show him a little mind manipulation." Loki waited until the whole compound was sleeping and sneaked into sorcerer's room, watching how peacefully he was sleeping. "Time to level your beautiful dream, bastard." Loki laid fingers on Strange's forehead, sinking into his mind, creating a brand new dream.

Strange was standing on the edge of an abyss, Loki in front of him, time stone shining on his chest. "What the f-, Loki, how did you get that?" "It doesn't matter. What matters is revenge, My revenge. You'll suffer for what you've done. You have no idea how it was, alone, nothing but frost and ice, injured, bleeding. I had no idea where I am. Now it's my turn to laugh." Loki smirked and pushed Strange into the abyss.

He was falling what felt like ages and when he finally landed, kicking his breath out of the lungs, millions of arms appeared and tore his clothes and then even his body into tiny pieces. When Strange thought, he died, he was standing again on the edge of the abyss in front of Loki: "Hoopy hoop, let's make a loop." Loki winked and kept pushing Strange into the abyss again and again and again and again. Strange wide opened his eyes, sweat on his forehead, the heart beating fast, panting. Loki left a long time ago and was sitting in the living room, sipping tea and reading book when he heard Strange shouting from his room: "LOKI!!"
