A SURREAL AMOUNT OF TIME HAD PASSED SINCE LOKI AND ALEX SHARED THEIR DRUNKEN NIGHT TOGETHER. THEY had begun to enjoy Sakaar, and let the time pass aimlessly. Though Alex still had her doubts about the place, she knew she was safe from harm whenever she was with Loki. She often had nightmares about the missions she'd been on, but waking up to Loki next to her was an instant calmer. 

However, just when she was beginning to feel comfortable, a small reminder of the outside world popped up. Loki and Alex sat in the lounge, talking amongst random people, when they spotted him. 

Or, rather, when he spotted them

"Loki," The voice belonged to Thor, who was strapped to a chair similar to the one Alex had sat in when she first arrived. 

The pair walked nonchalantly over to Thor, who was frantic. 

"You're alive?" Loki asked. 

"Yes, of course I'm alive,"

"What are you doing here?" Alex spoke, wondering why he wasn't in Asgard. 

"What do you mean, what am I doing? I'm stuck in this stupid chair--where's your chair?"

"I didn't get a chair." Loki deadpanned. 

"Wait, you didn't get a chair?" Alex rose an eyebrow.

"You got one?"

"Focus, you two, get me out of this one."

"Can't." Loki shrugged. 

"What?" 

"We've made friends with this man--he's called the Grandmaster."

"He's crazy!" Thor squirmed. 

"I tried telling him that." Alex muttered. 

"The Bifrost brought us out here weeks ago,"

"Weeks ago? I just got here--"

Suddenly, the Grandmaster popped up. 

"What are you whispering about?" His eyes darted between the brothers. "Time works real different around these parts,"

He laughed, making a joke to himself. Alex exchanged an uncomfortable glance with the Grandmaster's right hand-woman, who was holding some weapon. 

"In any case, you two know this...you call yourself Lord of Thunder?"

Thor gritted his teeth. "God of Thunder. Tell him," 

"I've never met this man in my life." Loki shrugged. 

Alex rolled her eyes. 

"He's my brother," Thor pled.
