Chapter 35
Owen went to make himself some tea. Sylvie asked him to do for her too. After lying in the bathtub, Loki locked himself in the bedroom of Peter's dead family with magic and fell asleep (Owen even asked about the dead people under the white hemisphere, and Sylvie told him what she knew.) Sylvie had to be alert. She got a family, and suddenly that family could be taken from her! Loki could die! And Peter, their sweet Peter would risk his life and end up victim to some Vulture! Sylvie will never let that someone took her family! She remembered the bitter taste of loneliness. View of other families. Watching movies about the family over and over again. The quiet cry that she would always be alone. Never again! Never again! Never again! If necessary, she will tie Loki and Peter to bed so they won't endanger themselves in danger! How dare they do this to her! She loved them, and they could just be taken from her! Just like her mother. She remembered only flashes. A little smile, a gentle touch, not much else. Sylvie wouldn't let Loki and Peter become the same. Fragments of distant memories.
Owen handed a green mug full of tea.
"I know that look. Who are you planning to murder?" Owen asked.
"Anyone who comes close to Peter and Loki," Sylvie said.
"To be honest, Sylvie, Peter, and Loki are some of the creatures that need special protection because of their bleeding heart of kindness "Owen sighed.
"What kind of couple are we, Owen? I don't care about the others. I see them as a threat that I want to remove immediately. You murdered and tortured billions. How can Loki care for us? You mentally tortured him and I beat him up! How can he take care of us? ”Sylvie asked.
"I've been a specialist on Loki, Sylvie. What makes Loki tick? Love, Sylvie. It's always love. You're also a Loki variant, after all. No wonder you want to fiercely protect Loki and Peter. It's in your nature, "Owen replied.
"That doesn't answer why our Loki loves us," said Sylvie.
"Our Loki is a fool to think we're great because we love him," Owen replied.
"What?" Sylvie was surprised.
"I'm telling the truth, Sylvie. He considers himself inferior to us," Owen laughed bitterly.
"How can he think that? He saved us! He gave me my family! He gave you freedom! I would have burned you with other variants if it weren't for Loki," Sylvie said.
"I know that. You know, our Loki, as soon as he feels that someone is nice to him for once, he immediately becomes attached to that person.Even if, sooner or later, that person hurts him somehow, "Owen said.
"It's impossible," Sylvie replied.
"Sylvie, I praised him once when he found your hideout in Alabama and his eyes seemed to glow!" Owen said.
"You have to be extremely mean to Loki so that he doesn't feel good towards you," added Owen.
Sylvie drank tea and tried to absorb the information. She still felt confused by all of this. She knew about it all! It was enough to be with Loki for just a moment to find out what he is like. She remembered Thor, Tony Stark, Natasha Romanoff, Steve Rogers, and Director Fury. Also a nameless archer and a man with glasses. They thought Loki was bad! How dare they!
"For example?" Sylvie demanded, hoping Owen would tell about them.
"Thor's friends. Loki tried to get their approval. But never once were they good to him. Not once, Sylvie. Loki protected them, he saved their lives, and they betrayed him on the first occasion he was King of Asgard! ”Owen slapped the cup hard on the table, shattering it.
"Loki told me something about them. He said he cooked for them," Sylvie replied.
"If only. He always carried everything so that they could survive Thor's madcap expeditions. Healing stones, all kinds of healing herbs, extra weapons, maps, and much more. He cooked for them, protected them, gave them directions when they lost their way. They never thanked him once, "Owen said.
"What about Thor?" Sylvie hissed.
"He never thanked him either. However, he gave Loki crumbs of love unlike his friends," said Owen.
"Crumbs of love?" Sylvie was furious.
"That's what I have to call it since before the coronation, Loki told him that he loves him and Thor said: Thank you! Not: I love you too, bro!" Owen was saying.
"You want to say that Loki will love anyone who gives him just crumbs of love!" Sylvie snarled.
"Yes, Sylvie. We must have given a little more than crumbs despite our wickedness, right?" Owen asked.
"Yes. Loki is asleep and we need to discuss one more topic. Why do the Avengers hate him, why do they think he's angry? Who hurts him, Owen? I know you know, "Sylvie said.
"I know, Sylvie. That's the problem," Owen smiled bitterly.
"So go on," Sylvie ordered.
"Sylvie, I just told you about Peter's fate. You are emotionally unstable now because of this. Talking about Loki will be worse. I promise you that. I'll tell you everything when you calm down. You need to be clear-headed, and I need to talk to Loki alone first, "Owen said.
"Don't do this! Don't exclude me! Tell me who did this to Loki!" Sylvie shouted.
"Sylvie, please. You cannot go to this person! Under no circumstances!" Owen shouted.
"Tell me!" Sylvie shouted.
Then Loki entered the room. He had dark circles under his eyes. He seemed very skinny in his green Asgardian pajamas. His pale skin was still there sweaty, but less than before.
"I just wanted to tell you that I'm going back to Asgard tomorrow. Now you can keep arguing," Loki said.
"Do not you dare!" Owen said.
"You will leave me and Peter!" Sylvie snapped.
"I'm not going back there permanently, I have a business to do. I'd rather let you know because I don't want Owen to track me down with Timepad again! Loki said.
"Loki, I had already talked about this! You do not care about your safety!" Owen shouted.
"So you've been talking about this? Owen can find you even with your hiding magic and infinity stones?" Sylvie asked.
"The Space Lizards were very powerful. And Owen kept one Timepad and modified it to always find me!" Loki said.
"Well, it's not such a bad idea to be able to find you always," Sylvie said.
"Are you on his side?" Loki was indignant.
"Of course! After lately you've disappeared, you was hurt back !" Sylvie shouted.
"Never mind. I'm going back to Asgard tomorrow," Loki replied.
"Loki, going back to Asgard is a bad idea!" Owen was saying.
"Oh, I don't think so. It's a great idea" Loki smiled.
