The Second Infinity Stone
The ship was massive which could only mean that it was holding a very powerful army with a very powerful leader. Loki froze. . .he recognized the ship and he dreaded what was to come. Thor was preparing for an attack and forming plans however he was distracted by how still Loki had become. “Brother?” Thor asked cautiously.
“. . . . .” Loki could hear his brother calling him but couldn't answer. He was frozen in fear. Thor watched his brother carefully and was stunned and concerned with the fear he saw in Loki’s eyes. Why did that ship scare him so much, who was on that ship and did Loki know them? He was about to question his brother when the ship fired and then there was chaos.
There was flames and dead bodies everywhere… Bruce had been sent back to midgard, Thor was also on the ground but Loki was standing while weapons were being pointed at him. Thanos was asking for the Tesseract however Loki knew that he couldn’t give it to him and felt deep hurt when Thor gave a disappointed look when it was revealed the he in fact had the Tesseract instead of it being destroyed.
“Give me the Tesseract” demanded Thanos sinisterly. When Loki didn't move the mad titan attacked Thor whom had been quiet for a long time. “AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH” screamed Thor as Thanos continued his attack. “Alright, ALRIGHT stop just stop. I’ll give it to you just stop.” said Loki after. Loki held up his hand and conjured the Tesseract and held it out for Thanos to take. Thanos walked forward menacingly and took the tesseract. Loki was about to move to Thor when he felt a stabbing pain in his chest. “NOOOOOO!!” screamed Thor.
Thanos had taken a spear from one of his “sons” and had stabbed Loki in the chest. Thanos twists the spear around a few times making Loki scream as well as a stream of blood come from his mouth. The spear was roughly pulled out of his chest leaving Loki to fall to the ground. Deeply satisfied with his succes, Thanos left slowly watching as purple flames consumed the ship. Once Thanos was gone Thor rushed over to his bleeding brother completely ignoring any pain that he was feeling.
Loki laid unmoving in front of Thor making it hard for Thor to tell whether he was alive or not. His always greasy, black hair was splayed in every direction, eyes closed and lips parted. If Thor didn’t know any better, he’d think that he was sleeping. “Loki?” asked Thor. “Brother. . .wake up. I need you to wake up.” Loki still didn’t move, and Thor carefully hooked his arm under his brother’s neck, holding him up in his lap. “Loki…” He refused to believe that he was dead, that he was dying. “Come on… Thanos is still about… You’ve got to get up.” There was little to no response making Thor’s concern increase. “Brother please. . .you have to get up we have to stop Thanos. He cannot be allowed to obtain all of the infinity stones and I can’t stop him without your help. I require your assistance. . .” But he didn’t just require his assistance he wanted his brother to help him. In truth he had missed Loki’s presence and humor. He just wanted to fight this battle with his little brother beside him like old times.
He had tried to pretend that the Loki he knew was gone and gave Loki his space like he wanted. He had acted cold and uncaring to Loki which only made the rift bigger. When he said that he had given up he could see that he had hurt Loki but he didn't do anything about it. When he searched his memories he found similar occurrences making him feel even worse.
A small movement from the form he was holding dragged him out of his thoughts. “Loki?” Thor asked hopefully. There it was again. Loki moved if only a little but it was still movement. His breathing was shallow and he was losing way to much blood. He needed help but Thor had no idea of anyway to get it. The flames had spread around them but now it was creeping up on them. BOOM. . .the ship exploded leaving debris everywhere as well as Thor and Loki’s bodies floating in space.
