The next morning, we followed Thor out to the main deck, gazing out at the stars. After congratulating Loki and I on our engagement, he chuckled.
"Loki, I never figured you the type to settle down." Thor said, beaming.
"I never did either." Loki said, looking at me, the love clearly written in his eyes. "But things change. I know I certainly have."
"You've grown, little brother." Thor said, "And I am proud of you for it."
"Do you really think it's a good idea to go back to Earth?" Loki asked.
"Yes, of course!" Thor said, "The people of Earth love me. I'm very popular."
"Let me rephrase that." Loki added, "Do you really think it's a good idea to bring me back to earth?"
"Probably not, to be honest." Thor conceded. "I wouldn't worry, brother. I feel like everything's gonna work out fine."
As Thor said those words, a ship ten times the size of our own appeared in front of us. It crept closer to our ship, its shadow swallowing us whole. Loki's face paled, his expression fearful and panicked, and he pulled me behind him.
"We need to run." he said, turning to Thor and I.
"Why, what's going on?" Thor said, following Loki as he backed away, still holding my hand.
"Thanos has found me."
