You wake up the next morning to find you slept in. Your turn on your side to where...no Loki is.  You get up and walk around the room, looking in every possible hiding spot. "Loki?" You call. No response. You quickly change out of your dress and into something more comfortable as you exit the room, speed walking through the multicolored hallways. Red and white. Left turn. Right turn. Yellow and white. Straight. Right turn. Purple and white. Up some stairs. Left turn. Left turn. You stop at the beginning of a green and white hallway at the sight of two familiar figures and one unfamiliar figure. The two are Thor and Banner, and the one is a woman, significantly shorter than Thor.

You step back behind a corner and watch them talk for a few seconds. Then the woman inputs a code to the room nearest to them. You peer closely and manage to get the approximate loacations of where she typed. They enter and the door closes. You go up to the door and put in the pin, and it opens immediately. All three of them turn to look at you and you look at them each in turn until your eyes finally land on the man at the center. Loki, chained to a chair. You gasp slightly and rush over, crouching next to him. "Are you alright? What happened? Why are you chained to a chair??" You shoot out question after question.

Thor clears his throat and you turn to look at him. "Oh. Sorry." You immediately apologize and take a couple steps back. "I have to say, brother, your lady friend is quite perceptive. She managed to figure out where you were, what the code is for the door, followed us, and all without being noticed. She'd be a good addition to the team." He states. Loki turns to look at you with a smile. "She learned from the best." You bite your lip and blush lightly, suddenly  interested with the floor. Loki turns back to the three. "Can you please release me now?" Loki asks, looking at them with pleading eyes. The woman rolls her eyes before unlocking the chains.

Loki rises and moves to stand next to you. "As long as you two don't suck each other's faces off the entire time, we'll be cool. Got it?" She points a finger at the two of you. You both nod, and you feel Loki's hand grasping for yours. You grab ahold of his hand and squeeze it lightly. "Good." She turns and walks toward her kitchen. You listen in as they discuss a plan, you realize, to leave this planet. As they start to talk about how to leave the planet, Loki cuts in. "I don't mean to impose, but the Grandmaster has a great many ships. I may have even stolen the access codes to his security system." Thor, Banner, and the woman, who you assumed was Valkyrie as Thor had called her a moment ago, all turned to look at him.

Valkyrie raises her hand and hurls an empty bottle at his head. You catch it, holding it at a centimeter from his face. "Astonishing catch, love. You're getting better." Loki comments and you smile, setting the bottle down gently. Valkyrie rolls her eyes. "And suddenly you're overcome with the urge to do the right thing?" She asks, crossing her arms. Loki shakes his head. "Heavens, no. I've run out of favor with the Grandmaster. And in exchange for codes and access to a ship, I'm asking for safe passage...through the anus." You roll your eyes at their choice of wording.

"You're telling us you can get us access into the garage without setting off any alarms?" Thor asks. Loki nods. "Yes, brother. I can." Banner then huddles with. Valkyrie and Thor, but you can still hear their conversation. "Okay, can I just...a quick FYI, I was just talking to him just a couple minutes ago, and he was totally ready to kill any of us." Valkyrie nods. "He did try to kill me." You snap your head to look at him. He gives you an apologetic smile and a shrug, as if to say, 'Sorry, but I can't help it.' Thor glances at him them back at Valkyrie and Banner. "Yes, me too. On many, many occasions. There was one time when we were children, he transformed himself into a snake, and he knows that I love snakes. So, I went to pick up the snake to admire it and he transformed back into himself and he was like, 'Yeah, it's me!' And he stabbed me. We were eight, at the time."

You turn to Loki and see him suppressing a smile. You smack his arm lightly and he looks over at you, offended. You give him a look and he mouths, 'What?' You roll your eyes and continue to pay attention to the conversation. Valkyrie speaks up. "If we're boosting a ship, we're gonna need to draw some guards away from the palace." Loki smirks. "Why not set the beast loose?" He says, obviously referring to Banner. "Shut up." Thor responds quickly. Valkyrie looks between the two of them, an excited yet amazed expression on her face. "You guys have a beast?" Thor cuts in. "No, there's no beast. He's just being stupid. We're going to start a revolution." He says proudly. Loki rolls his eyes. "Revolution?" Banner asks. "I'll explain later," Thor says, waving a hand at him. 

"Who's this guy again?" Valkyrie asks Thor, motioning to Banner. "I'll explain later," Thor say to her as well. 

A little while later, you find yourself with the Odinson brothers, all three of you on a mission to retrieve  ship for your little ensemble. You stand in silence as Loki enters the code to unlock the first of numerous doors to the ship garage. Thor decide to break the silence. "Hey, so listen, we should talk." He says to Loki. Loki looks over at his brother. "I disagree. Open communication was never our family's forte." He says, entering the last of the pin, and the door slides open. "You have no idea. I've had quite the revelation since we spoke last." Thor says, and you poke both their shoulders and avert their attention to the crowd of guards the open door just revealed. The brothers each heft up a Sakaarian gun. "Hello," Thor remarks. "Hi," Loki responds. They blast all the guards and move on to the next door. You follow silently, thinking they want the moment to "bond".

"Odin brought us together, it's almost poetic that his death should split us apart. We might as well be strangers now. Two sons of the crown set adrift." Loki continues. A guard attempts to ambush Loki from the side, but Thor knocks him out. "Thought you didn't want to talk about it?" He asks. Loki shrugs as we enter an elevator. "Here's the thing. I'm- we're," Loki says, acknowledging you. "Probably better off staying here on Sakaar." Staying here? On Sakaar? I have an apartment to pay bills on! Best not to say anything now though.

"That's exactly what I was thinking." Thor say with a smile. "...Did you just agree with me?" Loki asks, sounding a bit surprised. "This place is perfect for you! It's savage, chaotic, lawless. Brother, you're going to do great here!" Thor says happily. You bite you bottom lip, feeling an air of uncertainty as you glance at Loki's reaction. He doesn't look up at his brother. He averts his eyes away. "Do you truly think so little of me?" He says, and you hear the somber tone in which he speaks. "Loki, I thought the world of you. I thought we were gonna fight side by side forever. But, at the end of the day, you're you, I'm me...and I don't know, maybe there's still good in you, but let's be honest, our paths diverged a long time ago."

You see the hurt inflict upon Loki's face, and you rest a comforting hand on his shoulder, squeezing softly. He turns to look at you and smiles softly. You remove your hand and notice him mask the pain from Thor's previous statement. "It's probably for the best that we never see one another again." He says smoothly. Thor smiles and pats Loki a bit awkwardly on the shoulder. "That's what you always wanted." You all stand in silence once again. Thor suddenly turns to Loki. "Hey, let's do Get Help." I look questionably at Loki. "What?" Loki asks, seemingly just as confused. "Get Help." Thor repeats. "No." Loki replies. "Come on, you love it." Thor says, a bright smile breaking onto his face. "I hate it." Loki states. "It's great. It works every time." Thor keeps pushing the subject. "It's humiliating." Loki says, rolling his eyes. "Do you have a better plan?" Thor asks with an arched brow. "No." Loki replies. "We're doing it." Thor clarifies. Loki glares at his brother for a few seconds, then moves his gaze elsewhere. "We are not doing Get Help."

The elevator doors open and I watch as the brothers play out their little scene. Loki fakes a fatal injury and Thor supports his brother's weight. "Get help! Please! My brother, he's dying." Thor exclaims as I slowly follow them as they step out of the elevator. A group of guards turn towards us and one points his gun at us. "Get help! Help him!" Thor repeats as he lift Loki up and throws him at the guards, knocking them all down as if they were bowling pins. You manage to hold back your laugh at how ridiculous the whole scene was, and you help Loki up from the ground. He dusts off his pants as Thor laughs. "Classic," He comments. "I still hate it. It's humiliating." Loki says. 

"Not for me it's not." Thor teases. "Which one's the ship she told us to get?" He asks, turning to Loki. Loki points to a sleek red and yellow circular ship. "The Commodore." As you walk behind them, you notice Loki lag behind and walk towards a control panel. An illusion Loki continues to walk with Thor. You mouth 'No!' to Loki and make a slicing motion across your neck. He gives you an apologetic look and mouths 'Sorry'. Illusion Loki continues to talk. "Though I feel it won't make much of a difference..." Real Loki brings up a screen on the control panel. "Oh Loki," Thor says and turns towards his brother as the illusion one fades. He doesn't look surprised. "I know I've betrayed you many times before, but this time it's truly nothing personal. The reward for your capture will set me up nicely." Loki says as he sets off the alarm. 

"Never one for sentiment, were you?" Thor asks. "Easier to let it burn." Loki replies. His eyes then widen when he sees Thor holding up a small silver rectangular device. You then notice an even smaller circular device attached to Loki's neck that wasn't there before. "I agree." Thor says, pressing down on a button on the small silver device in his hand. Loki hits the ground, writhing in pain, as if in a seizure. You let out a short squeal as you watch him fall to the ground. Thor walks over to Loki and crouches next to him. You stay back and watch, frightened, as Loki continues to convulse on the ground. 

"Oh brother, you're becoming predictable. I trust you, you betray me. Round and round in circles we go. See, Loki, life is about, it's about growth. It's about change. But you seem to just want to stay the same. I guess what I'm trying to say is that you'll always be the God of Mischief, but you could be more." He rises and places the small device on top of the control panel. "I'll just put this over here for you." He says, taking a few steps back. Thor glances at you, as if waiting for you to make a decision, or pick a side. You look between the two brothers and turn away from Thor as you rush towards Loki. You hear Thor's receding footsteps as he jogs towards the ship.

You grab the sliver device from the panel and you kneel next to Loki, who looks up at you and groans with impatience. "I'm working on it, I'm working on it." You mutter, studying the device. It only has three small buttons, but you're not quite sure what each one is for. You try pressing one and Loki convulses even more. "Sorry! Not that one..." You try a different one. Thankfully, the circular device deactivates and falls off Loki's neck and onto the floor with a clink. You help Loki up and he rubs the side of his neck where the circular device was. You gently move his hand away and see a red mark where it used to be.

"Are you okay?" You ask a bit worried. "I am a bit shaken, and this does hurt a bit," He says, rubbing the area where the circular device was once more. "But I'm alright." You take a step towards him and sling your arms around his neck. "Let me make that better for you.." You gently place your lips on his jawline. You move your lips down and kiss where the circular device previously resided. Loki groans as you bite down gently. You pull away and Loki embraces you. "Thank you love,"
