Chapter 20
Tony, Bruce, Sigyn, and Hela arrived to the Tesseract. Sigyn unbuckled Hela from her car seat, held her in her arms, and got out of the car. As she got out of the car, Thor came and greeted her. "Did you feel the ground rumbling?" he asked her.
"No..no I don't think I did," she said smirking. Sigyn then went on to tell Thor about how she used her healing powers to restore the city that Loki tried to destroy.
A smile spread across Thor's face, "That's wonderful, Sigyn. I'm so proud of you."
Sigyn smiled back at him but then her attention turned to something else. She scanned the area for her husband. She saw him standing about 10 feet away from her. She walked a little distance past Thor to get a better look at him. She then walked the rest of the way to her husband. The sight of him caused a tear to run down her cheek. He didn't seem to be hurt at all but he wore a muzzle over his mouth and there were shackles on his wrists. She stood only inches away from him holding her baby. They stared into each other's eyes each with a look of love and hurt.
Sigyn looked to her baby and made sure she could hold Hela with only one arm. With the other arm, she picked her hand up and placed her palm on Loki's cheek.
Loki closed his eyes at the sensation of his wife's palm on his cheek. He opened his eyes to look back into the eyes of his wife.
It broke Sigyn's heart to see his mouth covered by a muzzle. It looked cruel and she couldn't kiss him. She couldn't feel his soft, sweet, lips against her's. She couldn't feel his soft, sweet, lips on any part of her body. She brought her hand back down and held her baby with both arms. She then looked down at Hela as a tear streamed down her cheek. Her head was brought right back up at the sound of shackles rattling.
Loki brought his hand up to her face to wipe the tear away with his thumb. He then looked down at his daughter and held her head in his hand.
Thor came up behind them. "We're ready," he said.
Loki and Sigyn looked to Thor and then went back to looking at each other. Loki started to lead Sigyn to the Tesseract but she couldn't go yet. All the friends she had made were around her. She had to say her final good-byes to them.
She embraced and said farewell to all of the Avengers. Even the ones she didn't know that well. She couldn't help but acknowledge all of them. They were all such wonderful creatures. The ones who she became good friends with (Natasha, Steve, and Tony) were the ones who didn't only say good-bye to her but also bid farewell to Hela.
Sigyn was ready to go home. Thor and Loki were standing on either side of the Tesseract. Sigyn stood perpendicular to them. They each took hold of the Tesseract and Sigyn held Hela closer to herself before they were teleported back to Asgard leaving behind a light, blue, glow.
The End...for now ;-)
