Prologue

"Have you ever seen anyone die?" I ask him. My legs crossed while I'm busy fidgeting with my fingers. Even I can taste how empty and broken my words sound.

"Yes. I have. Quite a few actually. Like my brother for instance!"

I slowly look at him once he said it. He lost his brother too. So Loki's actually dead?

But why doesn't he look sad, or broken like I do?

All I see next to me is a man. A man looking an appearing so strong. Always carrying a smile with him, always being the one behaving like a goof at the least most appropriate times. Yet deep inside I can feel the pain, slowly eating him. And now I am wondering how is he still here, sitting next to me, looking okay.

Thor looks at me too with his blue eyes. His hands in his pockets, one slowly removed and placed on my hands. It's so warm and so soft. "But one thing, life has taught me is that even gods live and die. We did not live forever. We do have feelings. We love and we know how to make sacrifices. Your brother made a sacrifice and unlike mine, he wanted you to live Wanda. So maybe you should live."

Five days since I've lost Pietro. The memory of that day still fresh and wounded. I wish I was there, there to hold him in my arms. I wish I was there, to promise him that I will be okay, that I am okay. Seeing him die would've been far better off than feeling him die. It felt like a part of me got ripped out of my chest, and I felt hollow.

Even I wanted to die.

But then, one man came. And as I came down from the sky about to meet my end along with my home, Thor came like a knight in shining armour and he saved me.

Everything changed since then. Ever since then, he's always been here for me. Someone I could easily talk to and someone who also finds my ridiculous sitcoms funny. Even he happens to be a funny man who knows when to bring a smile on my face. Someone I can lean on and someone who's shown that he actually cares about me.

When I was feeling alone, he was there. Always has been.

But now...not anymore. This time I have to find him. Be there for him.
