About 20 minutes later that both Lax and Trekker had finally gotten out of the room they went in to talk when Lax's harsh and cold eyes landed on Loki. He had an uncomfortable smirk framing his stern face, while Trekker was wearing a sad look. Both of his shoulders were dropped in defeat, sending a signal to Loki that Lax had done or said some things to Trekker that was bad news.

Loki felt a little uncomfortable under Lax's attention because he felt the same way when Odin did the same thing when he had something bad or had pranked someone back in Asgard. He feels like he had disappointed once again, but this time, he had no reason to feel that way. His attention decided to focus on the floor beneath his feet, to not look at Lax's evil gaze.

"Loki, please follow me. We have an important discussion at hand," Lax said, motioning Loki with his hands to follow him to the room which he just got out with Trekker.

Loki was hesitant for a couple of seconds, but he forced himself to follow the man in charge in fear that he will do further harm on him if he didn't follow through. His feet made small but quick steps towards the room Lax got into and closed the door behind him. Before he closed it, he quickly saw Trekker on the other side of the door with a sad gaze framing his face.

'I hope Lax doesn't injure me like he did in that cursed room.'

"Well, I am pleased that you decided to come. Knowing that you think I will injure you if you didn't listen to me, I am glad that you are docile enough to follow orders when it's convenient for you. There is something I wanted to talk to you about. It has to do with your Asgardian brother Thor and your little Midgardian hero friends in Midgard. I am sure they think they will rescue you, but I will let you know that will be a task they won't succeed."

Loki's mind went blank. He wanted to answer back and curse the man in front of him. "Well, you don't know them. They are smart enough to get here."

"That is what you think and believe. But, in any case, I see a threat of them in succeeding in approaching this world, I will make sure that they will be taken off course and go elsewhere. I have that message very clear to my henchmen. I am not done with you yet."

Loki suddenly found himself sitting down on a leather chair that appeared out of nowhere behind him. He was feeling anxious yet nervous to get out of the room as soon as possible.

"If you're planning to do further damage to my body, then I will not back down from a fight," Loki angrily said before leaving the room.

Lax watched him leave in silence. As soon as Loki closed the door, in anger, behind him, he laughs.

"Oh, Loki. You better watch that mouth before I do I for you. Like, I will happily sew it and leave you like that until you beg on your knees, trying to speak so that the thread could be taken off. You're so wrong Loki."

Quickly, Lax pushed a small button located in the chair he was sitting in, indicating a few guards to prep Loki soon for a new battle in the mirror room.


"Man of Iron, I must speak with you right now. In private," Thor exclaimed as he got into the lab where Tony was currently working with Bruce. They were busy looking into magic and upgrading their things before they take off soon in order to rescue Loki from his current unknown location.

The sudden boom of Thor's voice made Tony jump in surprise, making him jump and drop his tools to the floor and his coffee.

"Really? Can you please stop making sudden appearances. That was the fourth cup you made me drop this week Thor."

This accusation made Bruce laugh in response, earning a glare from Tony and an honest laugh from Thor.

"Well, okay Thor."

Soon, Thor and Tony locked themselves in a nearby room so that they can talk in silence.

"Anthony, there is this worry that doesn't leave me alone. I think you might put it to ease."

Tony's eyebrows went up towards his hairline.

"And that would be?"

"Well, don't judge me, but last night I had a dream, or nightmare, about my brother. He was sending these messages about where we should look when we look for him."

"And where should we look then?"

"It is in a far away galaxy. Maybe in a whole other universe even."

"Thor, how can we mortals survive that long in outer space. We don't even know where to look."

"Don't worry about that Stark. Leave that task to Asgard. But you should be focusing your attention on getting your suits ready for a long battle ahead of us."

Tony nods. Just as they were about to leave, JARVIS interrupted them. "Sir, Pepper wants to speak with you. She is currently in the kitchen with Fury."

"Crap, does she really had to drag Cyclops here?"

"They have something to say to you in regards about this rescue mission for Loki Odinson, sir."

"Tell them I will be over there now."

"On it."


Trekker saw Loki leave Lax's private suit in anger. He saw that he angrily slammed the door behind him and leave. But, then he suddenly stops in his tracks, due to the fact that he has nowhere to go in the place.

"Loki?"

Loki turns around to face Trekker. Trekker could see that Loki wants to cry due to the fact that he has tears forming in his eyes but is holding them in.

"It's okay to cry Loki. Let those tears out."

Seconds later, Loki starts crying and Trekker hugs him to comfort him. He already lost his family centuries ago. He promised to himself that he will protect Loki because he reminded Trekker of his oldest son, Kryie. Both males liked pranks and were intelligent.

"Why a-are you so nice to me?"

The question made Trekker smile. "Because you remind me of someone so dear to me Loki. Besides, I am planning to avenge my son's, as well as my family's, deaths and make Lax pay for every single death he caused. I will make sure he doesn't kill you as well. Your family will be heartbroken and I don't want that to happen."

Loki smiles because he liked that someone cared for his well-being and he hugs Trekker even harder.
