Thor gasped for breath as he laid on his back, being as close to Loki as he dared. He wanted to reach out, to touch Lokis hand. Hold it, but he didn't dare…. Bruce had said not to touch him. Don't touch Loki.

Still Thor could hear Lokis rattling breaths, they sounded so bad. It was enough to distract Thor from his own pain… But only barely.

The worst thing was his eye, his left eye. He could feel the constant thrumping right where the left eye was supposed to be, in a constant rhythm, like a big hammer was constantly beating from inside of his head and towards his eye socket.

Thump… Thump… Thump… It was burning as well. Thor constantly wanted to blink away the things in his eye, but there was nothing there.

His head hurt so bad, he remembered the foot on top of his head, squeezing it, he could feel his own head being squashed and had truly believed that in just another second, his skull would just pop like a squashed melon. He felt it, his own skull aching and creaking. And it hadn't stopped.

And even so none of that mattered… Loki…. Loki….

This was it, it all made sense now! This was what had made Loki so scared, what had taken him and twisted him to become something he was never meant to be. This Titan. It was him, it was always him.

Loki had said it in the past, multiple times.

"Did you know another world is hiding beneath the void? A world of darkness and monsters? There is no light, no stars. And as I landed, it was on a small asteroid shrouded in darkness with monsters lurking in all directions. Little did I know, those monsters were nothing." Loki gasped. "That world belongs to a Titan, he calls himself Thanos. His sons and daughters rules by his sides and are these twisted creatures of death and despair!"

Thor swallowed, that's what Loki had said as Thor had demanded he explained himself.

"That sceptre was in my hand, my bare hand. Not just that, before I wielded it it had been placed next to me as I slept.. as I walked. As they." Loki had swallowed.

"As they?" Natasha had asked seriously. "As they what?"

"Cut me."

Lokis back... Lokis back a patchwork of scars had told the story, it wasn't just the back though was it? Loki had just refused to show anything else of his body. Which mean, the back was probably the least marred place.

The Tesserect and Loki had said.

"I don't want it! I never wanted it!"

"What-ever planet he conquers he kills exactly half of the population and then just leaves."

Why... Why would Thanos do that? Why?

"I don't know. He thinks he is saving you somehow. Calls himself the saviour. The only one with the strength to do what must be done, to safe the universe. Yada yada. And because he thinks he is saving the bloody universe, he thinks that justifies any actions he'll do. Torture, murdering, slaughter. All fine in his book, cause it's for the greater good."

Suddenly rushing foot steps came and a new group of people entered wearing clothes in light blue colours suddenly hands were all over Thor and gently started to lift him up, that's when Thor realized. Other people were doing the same to Loki, they were pulling them apart. "No…" Thor shook his head. "Loki…" he asked.

"Sir I need you to calm down." A female voice sounded as Thor was placed on a stretcher. "You are hurt, we are taking you to the emergency room."

Thor shook his head. "Nooo… Loki."

"Mr Odinson!" Suddenly it was that man, the one with black hair and striking blue eyes whom had opened the portal. Doctor Strange. "Stay calm, I will take care of Loki personally. We are dealing with magical energy when he is concerned. He will be taken to a different emergency room, I assure you. I will do all I can to help him."

Thors eyes watered as he hissed. They were going to take them apart, he wouldn't be able to see Loki! He was already helpless enough.

"Thor." Steve stepped up. "Relax, I'll stay close to Loki okay? And if anything happens. I'll come to you at ones. Just concentrate on yourself. Loki did this to safe you, you need to allow these people to help you. That's what Loki wanted!"

Thor sucked in a deep breath and at last nodded allowing the people in light blue garments to carry him through the portal and into a strange white hallway where people were rushing around, noises were everywhere. He was finally put into another room, but was just as strange as the hallway. Even more so.

The room was small and white, with just the one bed covered in paper having the same blue color as those uniforms.

There were machines all around the place, a strange light which was aimed right at Thors face as hands were all across him stripping him naked off his armour, and kept removing it all until all he was wearing were his undergarments. They spoke to Thor, and their voices seemed to be gentle and kind.

But Thors head was hurting so bad, the constant thumping was unbearable so he couldn't even make out any meaning of it.

Then a machine was brought down close to Thors head and body. The people in blue all left the room as a strange sound came and a flash, and then again… Thor hissed the light cutting like hot iron into his vision and finally the people in blue came back.

One held a needle which he carefully made ready and then stuck in Thors arm as the man seemed to explain. The word morphine was mentioned. Thor didn't understand.

A gentle pair of hands started to unwrap the bandage around Thors head, and then a gentle examination off his missing eye.

More soft words were spoken that Thor couldn't make out as cotton pieces was being pulled out and ones again Thor felt the sting of someone disinfecting his wound. It ones again felt like pure fire applied to his wound, even if these people were far more gentle than Loki had been.

And then this time, they gentle pressed cotton into his empty eye-socket before wrapping it up with new bandages.

Suddenly it felt like the cotton in Thors eyes had found its way up to his brain, he felt sluggish, the world around him seemed fuzzy and he was slurring, shortly Thor tried to shake his head but it didn't help.

His entire body felt so weird and heavy and finally, he drifted off to an odd sleep disturbed by odd creatures.

Blood… Fighting. An extreme flash of blue light, shouting. But soon even that was drowned out and Thor found himself lost to utter darkness.
