"Loki," Logan began as she followed them into their room within the hall of the Grandmaster's favored, "Why didn't you tell him Thor is your brother? Who knows what they're going to do to him," she stated, concerned.
Loki turned to her, pulling her toward him, "Now my dear, if we stick our necks out for him, especially after he challenged the Grandmaster, we would also be in trouble. We would do much better to find a way to help him from our vantage point," he explained.
Logan shook her head, "You are just worried that if you get on his bad side, you won't be able to find a way to unseat the Grandmaster and take his place as ruler of Sakkar. But, family is more important then being a king."
"You are no fun when you speak on moral issues," he teased, "Will you feel better if I appear to him as a hologram and offer him a chance to join us?"
She nodded, "I would certainly sleep better because in reality, we have to get out of here because your sister is probably destroying Asgard. Our real goal is to get Thor and get there."
Loki rolled his eyes, "Let's speak on that idea at another time," he replied, "I shall be right back."
He disappeared leaving Logan to make her way to their bed, getting in under the blankets, exhausted from another day of pretending to be shallow and vain to stay in the Grandmaster's good graces. Loki's plan for them to act as a couple had gone well and moved them into a true relationship, making that the only redeemable quality of her time here.
Loki reappeared moments later, shaking his head. "I'm guessing it didn't go well," she assumed to which she received a nod. He moved to her, sliding beneath the covers to join her.
"He mentioned all the things I've done wrong in the past days and rejected me. His only goal is to return to Asgard," Loki explained as he moved his hand from her hips up to her shoulder as he leaned in and placed a gentle kiss on her nose.
"Are you trying to distract me from my mission to help your brother and save your home with sex?" she asked, placing her hand on his chest.
Loki shook his head, biting her lower lip as he moved his hand back to her hip to allow him to slip off her leather top, "I would never," he lied, playfully.
She moved closer, raising her arms to allow him to remove her clothing, "You are lucky I like you so much," she replied, lowering her hand from his chest to his pants, cupping him and smiling as he let out a small groan before she climbed on top of him, straddling him.
"Love, come," Loki woke her in the middle of the night days later, "Thor is battling the Champion and we are required to attend."
Logan looked at him, grogginess evident all over her, "Why? I never get to sleep here," she whined.
"I promise to let you sleep as much as you want when I rule this place," he offered his hand to help her from the bed.
She rolled her eyes, "Let's go," he guided her to the Grandmaster's box where they watched Thor enter the battle arena.
Logan grabbed Loki's hand, nervous until the Champion entered the stadium and they saw the Hulk.
"Banner?" Logan asked, surprise all over her face causing the Grandmaster to look over.
"What was that?" he asked.
Loki quickly spoke, "She isn't feeling well. That was just a gag. Perhaps I've succeeded in getting her pregnant."
Logan looked at him with a face full of questions as the Grandmaster grinned giddily at the thought. "Why did you make that so elaborate?" she asked, "And, you better not be trying to get me pregnant, we don't even know how long we can survive this place," her voice was filled with worry.
Loki calmed her, "I would obviously love to do that with you, but I was just using it as an excuse," he replied, holding her hand as the fight below began.
The Grandmaster spoke again, "We love children here, as long as I don't have to care for them, you know what I mean," his eyes attempted a strange wink. "I'd happily have her tested to ease your concerns," he offered.
Logan gave Loki a terrified glance but he nodded at the Grandmaster, "We would greatly appreciate that. It would be wonderful to know whether or not I shall need to double my efforts."
Logan pinched his upper thigh in retaliation just as the Hulk picked up Thor and began slamming him all around over the arena causing Loki to stand and cheer. "That's how it feels!" he yelled out jovially.
The Grandmaster gave him a confused face to which Loki replied, as he sat back down, "I just really love the sport."
Loki and Logan continued to watch the fight in silence, mostly because she couldn't say the things she wanted to while the Grandmaster was so close. At the end, Hulk won the battle only because the Grandmaster activated the device in Thor's neck to stop him from defeating his champion.
