Spoilers: One line in the Avengers, and sorta a major thing from Thor.
Trigger Warning: Suicide.
Disclamer:I do not own The Avengers. If I did, I'd be Joss Whedon and have better things to do then write fanfiction. Like figuring out a way to write a sequel to Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. I don't own Thor. If I did, I don't know what I'd be doing, but it certainly wouldn't be writing fanfiction.
AN: I don't know what happened here. I seriously don't. I sat down to write chapter three of Always Running, and this came out. Umm... Enjoy?
My name is Loki, of Asgard, and I am burdened with glorious purpose. At least, that's what I had said, so so long ago now.
I'm sorry Thor. I'm sorry mother. I'm so, so sorry. But I have to kill the monster! It has to die! The wind rushed through my hair, teasing and tangling, as I looked over the world I once tried to rule.
"Kneel." I chuckled, almost madly. This would be the last time. The release. The monster would be gone. I looked over the city. Almost feeling that I ruled it. Funny, that, I finally rule something, and it's my death. I had left notes, to my mother, to Thor, not to Odin. Not to the Great Liar. Time to go, you worthless beast. Time to pay the piper. Time. The one thing I always had so little of. Always dashing about, playing tricks, trying to make Odin proud. Always failing. Always falling. Would they mourn? Mourn for the monster?
'Because I-I-I-I'm the monster parents tell their children about at night?' I laughed like a madman at this. This remembrance. I am. Of course I am. I will always be. Not too much longer. I looked again. All those people, meaningless little things. Just going about their meaningless little lives. None looking up. None seeing the figure on the roof. None watching. None caring. I heard footsteps behind me. I whirled around to see … no-one. No-one's there. I turned back around. Closed my eyes. Smiled. And let go.
The ground caught me in her sweet embrace.
AN: So, yeah. Review? Please? Tell me what happened to make me kill off Loki. Please? *Puppy eyes*
