Loki jumped awake screaming, he was panting and breathing rapidly for air, he started touching his face and head to check if it's injured. He found no injury anywhere, he let out a long sigh of relief "just a mere dream" the blue light color is flowing smoothly in his eyes.

(no) a sound said faintly in his mind, "i should proceed with my plan, first, gain the titan's trust" he got off the bed and felt dizzy, (that was no dream), Loki lost his balance and supported himself by grabbing the table nearby (escaping is no good, Thor will catch you in no time) he walked couple of steps trying to reach the door (then the vision will come true, asgard won't have mercy on you) he held the door knop and opened it (but there is a better solution for you…..kill the prince before he hunts you),

Loki froze in his place while walking in the corridor, clutching his hands into fists "shut up", his eyes were almost all blue,

(would be easy to do that while he is still captivated),

"I SAID SHUT UP" he punched the wall with all his might that it broke and made a hole in it. He took out his hand and closed his eyes, taking a long deep breath and maintained his composure. He opened his eyes, the emerald color took its place back in the iris, but a very small thin line of blue was still circling it.

The voice stopped, it got replaced with pain in his hand as warm blood was dripping from it, "damn it", he rushed back to his room and entered the bathroom and rinsed his hand under the water, "what is wrong with me".

The door knocked and a voice called, "prince Loki, father has ordered for you".

"ordered? it's not the time yet. Why would he order for me so early? It hasn't been a day yet" he whispered to himself.

"my prince are you in there?",

"yes" he grabbed a towel nearby him, wrapped his hand with it and rushed to the door opening it "for what reason does he want me?",

"testing your skills he said",

"shouldn't that be tomorrow?",

"well it's already past a day",

(did i sleep that long?!) loki taught in his mind,

"should i tell him you need more rest?",

"No no!, I will be right there, I'll get ready", Loki closed the door and went to find something to wrap the wound with. Searching in the closet he found a box with medical items, he took the gauze out and started wrapping it around his hand until the wound heals itself. He finished dressing the wound and headed immediately to Thanos.

"your majesty" bowing to Thanos didn't feel good,

"Loki, has your magic returned?",

"yes, thanks to your kindness",

"excellent, show me what you can do".

As Thanos was sitting on his throne watching and examining every detail at Loki's spells, Loki was very careful not to show too much, just what's enough to catch Thanos's interest. After all, if he wants to escape this place he has to keep some tricks hidden under his sleeve, and It seems his way worked. Thanos's interest got caught to the mind spells, he asked him to show him everything he knows about them and saw how strong it is. This will fit perfectly to his collection.

Thanos was delighted to see that his plan was taking a high slope, he was about to praise Loki for his work when he noticed the bandage on his hand. All the delightness had gone and replaced by irritation, he thought to himself (that's how the link to your mind wavered…..but this is not all, another element interfered with it).

This matter must be taken care of before Loki discovers the cure for it. "excellent my boy, well done, this is truly remarkable", with this small praise, Loki felt that he weirdly enjoyed, not just that, he also enjoyed the ruffle on his hair that Thanos did. His eyes changed, the color blue flowed back to his iris. "thank you" loki thanked him and bowed,

Thanos signaled to maw, the other man bowed and went to bring something then returned. "you see this loki", Loki scanned the long shining scepter, "this what i want you to inherit from me" he set forth the scepter to Loki's eye sight "i never seen someone else who is suitable for it than you", those words were digging down deeply in Loki's heart "what do you think?",

"i..I'm" loki stuttered "flattered" his feelings for what he longed for emerged…..recognition,

"i want to give it to you, will you accept it?",

"of course!"

"only with one condition",

"anything you may",

"loyalty",

"how may i prove it?",

"you'll know" he returned the scepter to maw and signed him to leave "when the time comes",

Loki's eyebrows frowned, something didn't feel right, a bad feeling entered him, the eye color wavered and was pushing back the blue light color.

Thanos noticed that. This stubborn brat started to irritate him, since the moment he met him he had a huge defense to the mind control, every time he thought he finally caught him it ended up escaping at the last moment. At this point, he realized that his approach to control Loki is taking too long, he still not taking the bait to loathe Thor and kill him, for that as he suspected, Loki still linger some feelings to Thor, instead he will have to take another approaches before the other one awakes, then his plan would fail. So, what is the missing link to take control completely over Loki? There must be something he couldn't see when he saw his memories due to the defense Loki has. Throne, recognition, respected, what else?

"alright, i will wait your call" the colors in his eyes merged again in each other "though i have a question if you may",

"what is it?",

"how powerful is that scepter?",

"enormous",

"so it won't break easily or be damaged by any source of energy?",

Hearing this made Thanos smirk, that's the missing link that he couldn't see, "indeed it won't"...equality.
