People come and go but who will make it to safety?
Tia sits in the small boat. It's thick edges make it hard to see what kind of material it is made up of but Tia guesses it is probably a very strong wood or metal. Looking up she holds her son close while examining Eir. She can tell the older healer is stressed by the constant frown that now plays on her face and the little jumps they both do when another explosion happens.
"Ok so this will take you straight to the Bifrost. Loki has already arranged for Heimdall to take you to Midgard and Thor has helped get you set up there." Eir says, smiling down at Tia.
"Yes but what about my family, friends.. Brenya? I can't just go!"
"Loki has sorted it. They are all on Alfheimr with King Bjorn. He will protect them. I don't know about Brenya but I'm sure Loki will find a way of rescuing her too. Frigga will be fine. Loki needs to just help Thanos get rid of Ash and Odin first though so please just leave. He will be fine. They all will."
"Why is Thanos involved?" Tia asks, her heart racing as she remembers all the things Loki told her about him.
"It's too long to explain now but Loki made a deal, that's all you need to know." She hears Eir reply as Tia takes one last glance at a warring Asgard. Just like it was in all her nightmares. "Be safe Tia."
"Are you not coming?"
The old healer shakes her head. "Who will stay and help the wounded if I'm not here? Go Tia!"
With one hit of the gear stick Tia is on her way towards the Bifrost. Once there she carefully gets out, keeping her still unnamed son close to her chest and wrapped up in the thick blue blanket.
Looking up she meets the sympathetic amber eyes of Heimdall. "Good evening Tia."
"You don't need to be nice to me in times like this. My child has just caused a war to break out on Asgard." Tia replies, standing in front of the swirling rainbow. Willing herself not to look back at the devastation.
"I hope you have a wonderful life on Midgard and I will make sure Loki gets back to you safely."
"Thank you. I never actually got to thank you for everything you have done for me over the years and I feel like I never will."
"Oh you will." And with that said, Tia watches Heimdall twist his sword as the rainbow swirls take over her vision.
After dropping his son off with his mother Loki makes sure she knows the plan. Loki realises he will have to somehow find Ash and Odin to allow Thanos to kill them before himself and his mother can escape Asgard. That was part of the deal. Looking around all he sees is smoke and flame filled halls.
"Ok Asmund I need you to follow my mother to the boat. You have your family and any belongings with you right?"
He watches the young man nod before motioning for his family to follow the Queen. "Thank you for saving us Prince Loki."
"I should be the one thanking you. You've done so much and this is only the start of my repayments to you for all your help. Now.. my mother should have already sent my son and Tia off to Midgard. You and your family will join Tia's in Alfheimr. The King will protect you all." Loki whispers, handing Asmund a small bag of coins. "These should help you set up a home for your family."
"This is too-"
Loki cuts him off with a smirk. "It is enough. Just go and look after the people you love. I have a few more things to do here before I can do the same."
With a nod of his head Loki watches Frigga lead Asmund and his family away from the burning Asgard and towards the clean crisp Bifrost. He had already made plans for them to travel after Tia and if his plan was working then it was right on time.
Now to kill a few people.
Making his way through the palace grounds he comes to a stop when a sword is placed against his neck. Loki shifts his eyes so he can see his attacker.
"My darling wife. What has you out so late?"
"Where's the kid?" She snarls and Loki can make out the faint undertone of weakness in her voice. His blast of magic must have really hurt her earlier. When he doesn't answer she moves away from him and towards the Palace, almost running at one point.
"That was Ash if I'm not mistaking.." Loki hears the all too familiar voice say.
"People really need to stop scaring me tonight." Turning he faces Thanos and his growing army. "It was Ash and I have a feeling her and my father will be in the Throne room."
"You may leave now Prince Loki. I can deal with these two." With a swoosh of his hand Loki is pushed out of the way and towards the Bifrost.
"I want to see them dead!" He shouts, protesting against the strong purple hand that is holding him back.
"I will kill them I promise. It was part of the deal and it was a very good deal for me."
Loki sighs. "I need to find someone first. Her name is Brenya. She's blonde with blue eyes and would remind you of Tia. If you find her could you send her to Heimdall please? I will make plans with him now for her."
"I will. Now leave and be with your family." Thanos replies, leaving Loki alone once more as his army marches towards the Palace. "I hope that damn brother of yours has already left too."
After watching Thanos' army take over the Palace Loki doesn't know what to think when he reaches the dome of the Bifrost. On one hand he wants to see Odin and Ash being killed so he knows it's done but on the other hand he wants to get back to Tia and his son.
"Still in deep thought Prince Loki?"
"I'm fine Heimdall."
Loki hears Heimdall chuckle. "I know your thinking face."
"Well you should also know that clearly I was thinking dirty thoughts and you shouldn't have seen that." Loki replies, smirking up at the still laughing Heimdall. "If Brenya comes along.."
"I'll send her straight to Alfheimr with the others. Your mother, Asmund and his family just arrived safely, Tia's family too." Heimdall whispers and Loki feels his heart stop for a second when the all seeing man stops speaking before smiling. "Meanwhile your family is safe on Midgard."
