nightmares (actual chapter)
-DREAM-
"did you really think that you could save them?" thanos said, tom's limp body in one of his giant hands, "I will find you, and when I do, I will leave you alone, no one you love will remain alive. I will kill them slowly, painfully, and you'll be forced to watch." he laughed. "you and your child will be left with nothing."
"you wont find us!" (y/n) spat.
"oh but i already have." the titan chuckled. "and I'm coming."
- reality-
tom had awoken to (y/n) mumbling and thrashing around in her sleep, he shook her lightly and she shot up. "NO!" she screamed.
tom immediately gathered her into his arms and pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead.
"thanos found us." were her only words. "we need the tesserect. we need to get everyone to our reality. now!"
tom nodded and jumped out of bed, heading for thor's chambers. "thor, get your brother!" he yelled.
thor opened the door, looking slightly miffed that he'd been woken up.
tom noticed this. "thanos found us. we're taking all of you to our reality. it's the only way."
thor nodded. "but how?" he asked.
tom sighed, knowing that he would have had to tell thor sooner or later, "your brother has the tesserect."
thor's eyes widened. "LOKI!" he bellowed.
"yes brother?" the trickster asked.
"use the tesserect. get us all to his reality. thanos has found us. this is our only chance of survival." thor ordered.
loki nodded and summoned the relic.
another very familiar flash of blue light later, we were all back in our reality.
"what on earth?" came a voice that (y/n) recognized.
"captain." she greeted. "james, bruce, natasha, clint, wanda, vision, peter, gamora, rocket, groot, drax mantis. yes i know all of your names. rhodey, T'challa, shuri, m'baku, sam"
"i am groot!" groot said, apparently still a baby.
"it's good to meet you too." (y/n) responded, noting everyone's shocked expressions.
"you understand him?" rocket asked incredulously.
"yep, i also speak svartalf, elvish, a bit of asgardian, and jotun." (y/n) rattled off nonchalantly, chuckling when she looked at the brothers, who's jaws were currently hanging open. "i do weird shit when i get bored. like set an angry bilgesnipe on my elder sister figure, or put a wax model of a severed dark elven head in her freezer."
torrin started laughing when she noticed loki's huge grin. "i was wrong about you. you have chaos in your soul." he responded, truly impressed.
"arivast." (y/n) replied, in svartalf.
"you are very welcome." loki laughed.
"how did you acquire a bilgesnipe in the first place?" thor asked, clearly disturbed.
"long story, it was actually my intention to leave her stranded in Jotunheim for a few minutes, not anger a mother bilgesnipe and ditch her." (Y/n) chuckled.
"that was you?!" loki laughed. "norns, you were how old?"
"five." (y/n) deadpanned.
