"I love you."

His arm dropped to the snow

"Kari!" sitting up so quickly he nearly gave himself whiplash Loki's head whipped from side to side taking in his surroundings. The walls were grey and undecorated he was in a hospital bed and there were rapidly beeping monitors everywhere. Standing next to one cluster of computers was Kari along with Bruce.

"Hey, glad to see you up again! What happened, did you tie your corset too tight my lady?" Tony chuckled from the doorway.

"What of the battle, any your wounds? Did we make it back in time?" Loki frantically looked at Kari's face but she had no cut or scar, Bruce and Tony did not look weary from battle.

"What battle, I think you had a bit of a wild fainting dream Dorothy, you're still in Kansas, well technically we're not in Kansas we're in New Mexico but that's all beside the point. The point is that you've been out for a day and the frost giants haven't attacked anywhere else, which means they've already met up with the ring leader, which means that we still have time to stop the madness. So yay!"

"All that happened, the things I said." He stared at Kari for a moment, but decided not to dwell on the emotions he wasn't ready to admit to himself. Wait What? Well that was all something he could ponder another day. "I died."

"Well that's a squash morbid, well then again that entire movie is about an old woman trying to murder a girl for shoes, and if you ask me that's pretty extreme." Tony moved further into the room gesturing wildly with his hands.

"Shut up Stark," Bruce groaned. "He must have gone into shock after hearing about the frost giants and when he fainted his brain created an alternate reality."

"Are you absolutely sure, it felt so real. There were voices, and the blood, the pain it all felt so real." Loki stared up at Banner, surprising even himself with how frightened his voice sounded.

"All is well, rest now."Kari interjected, stepping forward and pushing him back onto the bed. "You are well and we are well so do not worry."

The frightened god stared up at her, reluctant to close his eyes, still unsure whether or not the words he was hearing were real or the people he was seeing or the scratchy sheets he felt. He needed to know that it was real but he could think of no proper test.

"Rest now, I will be here when you wake."Kari spoke interrupting Loki's rapid train of thought. She walked forward approaching the small chair beside the bed in the medbay. Still sensing his hesitance she reached forward to grasp his hand. "I will be here when you wake."

"I.."

"Loki, shut up and go to sleep. Nothing is going to happen here, I promise, well not nothing. We'll probably watch TV, or bake you a cake or something. But nothing bad! Not unless Darcy cuts herself trying to make guacamole, again." Tony sauntered over slapping the glaring god of mischief on the shoulder. But Loki trusted Tony and the rest of the avengers to take care of things while he slept, but how dare he have the audacity to tell the god of mischief and lies to shut up! The foolish man of iron would find himself in trouble later. Laying back and closing his eyes Loki let the darkness wash over him as he began to brainstorm ideas on how to aggravate his best friend.

Hey guys, I wasn't planing on updating so soon, within the next couple of days but not a few hours later, but after I got the review from HoratiosGirl1101 I literally started laughing so hard that water came out my nose.
