The End

Thor's leading Sky down a hallway of Asgard's palace - no wonder Bloom didn't seem fazed by the size of any castle in Magix, this place is gigantic! - saying "She stopped Thanos, killed him. But…she hasn't woken up yet from it."

"You said that was three days ago, Thor."

"True. She's still sleeping, however."

Sky sighs through his nose, trust Bloom to pick the guy behind all that and kill him. He mutters "She just had to go all out, didn't she…"

Thor chuckles, and says "I've been thinking that for the past three days, Sky."

"Where's Loki?"

"He refuses to leave her. I've actually had to make him lay down to sleep and bring him food."

"I knew they were close…"

Thor looks at the floor for a minute, then says "It's due to me. Bloom's likely told you as much, but…I was a very different person when she was growing up. Harsher, younger, stupider. Loki says I was a brainless oaf back then, especially when it comes to Bloom - I know for a fact that he's correct in that. My pride and arrogance, and my obsession with becoming King of the Nine Realms, pushed Loki away from me after some time. Bloom as well, along with my rather low view of magic. Pushed them away from me and close together. Now that I think about it, I don't believe Loki could refuse Bloom anything back then - or now, for that matter."

Sky chuckles, and says "I can imagine."

Thor snorts, and adds "The only reason he didn't take the Bifrost down to Midgard back when you all were living in Gardenia and fighting those four men is because he was filling in for Allfather at the time. Lady Sif and I had to talk him down from it several times, in fact."

Sky cracks up, and says "I can just imagine the looks on the Wizards' faces if Loki actually did that. Horrified, shocked, and then probably very dead."

Thor opens a door Sky recognizes as Bloom's, and walks into her room on Asgard for the second time.

When he gets into the room she first brought him in, he finds Loki sitting in a chair next to Bloom's bed and Bloom lying unconscious on said bed. Breathing, occasionally twitching in her sleep - but not waking up any time soon, he can already tell. "Hey. Loki, you look shot."

He blinks at Sky, then says "No, I was spared that fate in the battle."

"It means you look exhausted. When was the last time you slept?"

Loki just shrugs, and says "Not sure. No clocks on Asgard, after all."

"Look, I'll keep watch, how about you go lay down for-"

"No. Not until Bloom wakes up."

Now I know where Bloom learned to be so stubborn. "Look, I doubt she's going to wake up any time soon - she looks too out of it. You could at least, I don't know, grab a blanket and a pillow or something."

Loki waves his hand, and suddenly one of each of those things is lying on the ground next to him. Ember picks her head up from next to Bloom's head, having been completely camouflaged in her hair, and thrums at Sky for a minute before nudging Bloom's face - and getting no response from her.


About another week later, both men are sitting in their seats on either side of Bloom - both tired, but neither giving in just yet to sleep. Bloom suddenly sucks in a breath through her teeth, mumbling a few words neither of them understands - they don't really need to either, because both try to be the first one to crush Bloom in a relieved hug. Sky gets there first, but only by two seconds.

"Hey, guys…"

Loki immediately says "Bloom, next time you get the idea to use all your magic to defeat a person, pick anyone other than someone as indestructible as Thanos!" He then sees Bloom holding an arm out towards him, and then buries his face in her hair as she wraps it around his neck. He mumbles into her hair "Don't you ever scare me like this again, sister."

Sky says "Same goes for me! Tell me there'll be a few-months-long break between new enemies and all that!"

Bloom says "Hopefully. Planning the honeymoon?" Sky laughs, for the first time in days, and Bloom says "I've got two ideas. We could go to Pyros for a while…or stay here…"

Loki immediately near-screams "Stay here!"

Bloom chuckles, and asks "How'd I know that'd be your answer?"

Loki nearly breaks down laugh-crying, and finally asks "How do you feel?"

"Like I could beat Volstagg in an eating contest. How's everyone else doing?"

"Hela's glad to be not in charge of people since we returned from Wakanda, Thor's been sending our friends every five minutes or so to see if you were awake yet, I've been here since we got back to Asgard…"

Sky adds "The girls have been going nuts since you haven't been answering your phone - not like you could, you were sleeping after all - and your voicemail is probably full by now. Daphne's been worried sick, Thoren's been trying to keep her calm - her and your birth parents - and I've been practically frothing at the mouth at times." Both siblings give him blank stares, and he says "It's an expression. I've been worried to."

"Right…"

She swings her legs out of bed, and Loki says "Bloom, I don't think that's such a good-!" He's around the bed in a flash, and he and Sky catch her as she nearly collapses to the floor.

"Yeah, Pyros is out…"

Sky and Loki nearly get into an argument about who's going to stay with her and who's going to tell Thor Bloom's awake. She groans and rubs her temples, saying "Please don't make me pick between you two. Your both worried about me, and that's great! Really! But guys, I'm not exactly in much danger of getting attacked out of nowhere at the moment." Loki opens his mouth to protest, but Bloom says "Loki, the Trix are locked in the Legendarium. They're never getting out of there - ever! That's why I took the Tesseract there - once the book is locked, it can't get unlocked! They're freaking gone!" She laughs a little, adding "It's about time, honestly. One place they'll never get out of, no matter who they meet in there. Did I tell you about how I got Frankenstein to like Stormy?"

Sky snickers, and says "Yes. Yes, you did. It was hilarious. You'd be proud, Loki."

Loki smirks and raises an eyebrow, saying "Now I've got to hear this."

"I pushed Stormy over the edge, then made an illusion so Frankenstein looked like me. She electrocuted him, which he just loved."

It takes a full minute for Loki to stop laughing and get a decent breath in, and then he says "Brilliant. Truly brilliant, sister."

Fandral walks into the room, saying "Loki, don't throw a knife at me, Thor sent me to ask if…." he sees Bloom's awake, and promptly turns around and runs out the room.

Loki mutters "That answers the question of how Thor will know your awake."

Bloom says "Wonderful. Here's hoping he brings food." After a minute, she adds "You know, I told Steve and Tony I'd yell at them for disbanding the Avengers. Something tells me I'll never find Bruce and Natasha now, though."

Loki chuckles, then says "You're not exactly up for tracking them all down and going off on them or that particular decision either, Bloom."

Thor comes in after about another minute and a half, and nearly crushes Bloom in a hug of his own - and then informs her that he'll put her on 'room arrest' if she tries to even leave the palace unless she's being attacked or is with someone - like Loki, Sif, Fandral, etc.

Bloom fakes some outrage, and says "So, I'm to stick around until you say otherwise?"

"That about covers it. My next command for you is to eat something. Which I brought with, it's on your desk. I'll go get it."

As soon as Thor leaves the room, Bloom completely loses her fake outrage and bursts out laughing hysterically. Sky and Loki join in after a moment, and Thor comes back to find his siblings - and sibling-in-law - all laughing so hard tears are running down their faces.

Hela comes in later, and also says something along the lines of 'never scare me like this ever again, Bloom.'

And so do Daphne, the Winx, and the Specialists, over the phone. Daphne, for about five minutes straight.


AN: Alright, here it is! I can't believe I finally finished it! Three hundred chapters exactly, to! Now, I'll be free to work on some other stories! Once I finish Psychic Watcher, I'll be posting my Winx Club X HTTYD fanfiction - no spoilers, but Bloom will be only slightly different than in this one. As it turns out, I like writing Bloom as a kick-butt girl who can handle herself and gives some funny sarcastic remarks. Surprise, surprise - just in case nobody figured that out from reading this story. Thank you all for sticking with me this far, it's been wonderful! Merry Christmas, Happy holidays, all of it! Until the next story!
