Scars

"Don't compare me with Stark! It's a thing with me. Stark is ... He's a sickness!"

"Awe, junior, you're going to break your old man's heart," Tony said, landing in his Iron Man suit. Thor, Captain, and Loki stood behind him. Clint and Natasha were in the shadows, and Bruce was back on the jet. They were all in place.

"If I have to," Ultron said

"We don't have to break anything," Thor says

"Clearly, you've never made an omelet."

"He beat me by one second," Tony defended.

"Aye, this is funny, Mr. Stark ... is this comfortable? Like old times? A young man with gray hair said, stepping out of the shadows.

"This was never my life," Tony said, looking at the missiles.

"You two can still walk away from this." Steve stepped forward

"Oh, we will," the girl in a red leather jacket came forward

"I know you've suffered-"

"ugh," Ultron interrupts Steve " Ha ha. Captain America, God's righteous man, pretending you could live without a war. I can't physically throw up in my mouth, but..." Ultron gagged.

"If you believe in peace, then let us keep It," Thor said.

"don't bother, brother; this thing knows no peace," Loki says.

"Oh yes, Loki, God of Mischief and lies. I know where your peace lays... in Stark's daughter's bed, right."

It was as if Loki's heart suddenly fell in his stomach. He refused to look at anyone. He could feel their gaze on him, burning in him. If he survived this, he'd have hell to pay.

Though Tony was raging to hear this from Ultron, he and the others were a bit more worried that Ultron might actually know where Alice was and would hurt her. But, oh, they would definitely deal with Loki later.

"And as for the rest of you, I think you're confusing peace with quiet."

Tony took a few long, deep breaths, controlling himself and staying focused on the task at hand. "Vibranium ... what's it for?" Tony asked sternly he was close to loosing his cool.

" I'm so glad you asked that because I wanted to take the time to explain to you my evil plan."

There robots appeared behind them. Loki immediately took out the robot behind him shutting it down and tossing it over the rail. He and Steve tried to charge the girl but she used red mist and magic to push them back.

"Enchantress," he groaned, getting up. "No, weird," Steve said, picking up his shield.

Robots and men started pouring out of the shadows, attacking the Avengers. Tony, Thor, and Steve were fighting robots, Nat and Clint were humans, and Loki was both.

Loki senses the white hair guy speeding through. Before he gets there, he throws a robot in his path. He runs through the robot and crushes into the wall. "Got to be quicker than that," his smirk was wiped off as the girl threw him through a wall. "and here I was starting to like her' he mumbled as he struggled to get up. As he was struggling to get up, he didn't notice the girl standing behind him or the red mist coming towards him. When he did, it was too late.

"no"

It was a distant desert wasteland, dark and empty in the middle of space. He knew this place, he knew this hell so well too well. Walking further into the wasteland, he came across a body woman's body. The marks on her face showed she was a Valkyrie, but her gray skin showed she was long dead. He walked further, finding more and more dead bodies: some friends, people met along the way, Asgardian citizens, and even the Avengers. He dropped to his knees when he found his brother without a breath in his body and a heart with no beat. He shed his tears and moved on, slumping. He knew there was more to see.

As if nothing could get any worse, Loki saw the back of one person he had never wanted to see.

Thanos.

As if sensing Loki's growing fear he looked back. "well, well, well look who's here. I'll be with you in a moment. I've just got to finished this one". He turned all the way around revealing the one he spoke of finishing and then Loki truly felt fear, horror was visible in his face pain in his heart. Thanos held her by the neck as she cried and struggled against his hold.

"Alice"

"Oh, so you know this girl? More reason to end her now... as a punishment to you."

"NO, PLEASE. I BEG YOU, PLEASE, PLEASE," Loki dropped to his hands and knees.

"Your pleases fall silent on my ears."

"LOKIIIIIIII"

"NOOOOO," and his voice fell silent as he heard the sickening crack of the bones in her neck and watched her limps fall still. Tears streamed down his face. His mouth opened up and still as he coked on a silent scream.

Thanos dropped her body in front of him " Grieve," he said, walking away. Loki cradled her body as he cried over her, begging for the life she no longer had.

"Why? ... she did no wrong... why?"

"She did no wrong but you did. This is your punishment" Thanos walked to the edge of a cliff".

"No one's a saint... no one's good, that's why half has to go"

Loki opened his eyes to see he was in the rubble the girl had tossed him into. He shed a tear, but he didn't know why. Joy because it wasn't real or horror because it could be.
