"Are you certain that it's her?" Thor asked. Loki laughed slightly.
"She had the ring I lost. There's only one place she could've found it. Thanos' torture chambers. Believe me, it's her." Loki said. Even after months of separation, he recognized her. He suddenly turned to Thor in a fury. "Why was I not told that she'd gone missing?"
"We feared that if we told you, you might try to make a deal with Thanos to get her back. We couldn't risk it."
"I wouldn't have…"
"Don't lie to yourself Loki. You would have gone after her in a heartbeat." Loki stalked over to the edge of the balcony. Thor noticed the sag in his brother's shoulders.
"Do not lose hope brother. We will find a way to get her back." Loki nodded.
"I know. I just can't handle seeing her like that. One of the Asynjur, trapped in her mortal mind. Does Odin know what has befallen her? Could he perhaps restore her?" Thor shook his head.
"Father knows of her plight, but he hesitates to make any play that could harm her. We could bring her back, but it would destroy her. Thanos was extremely thorough. She doesn't remember anything." Loki sat down, unable to accept the fact that she was possibly lost to him forever. If Thanos was responsible for this, the chances of getting Sigyn's memory back were slim. And it was probably better that she never remembered what she'd gone through. Loki shuddered at the memory of the torture chambers. "Do not force her to regain her memory. It could turn her against you." Thor cautioned. Loki glanced over at his brother. It tore him apart to see her and not have her know who he was. But knowing Thanos, that was exactly what the Titan had in mind.
"She would never turn against me, but I will do as you wish. You have not led me astray thus far. Do not tell anyone else of my connection to her. Except for Fury. He probably should know." Thor nodded his assent. Loki turned on his heel and strode back into the apartment. His brother followed.
