Loki was pacing back and forth in the living room. The old lady made him have goosebumps all over his body because he believes that she works for, or is, Thanos, based on the purple smoke. He was panicking because he was beyond sure that the titan is now on his trail and it wouldn't take long for Thanos to him and get him.

"Why is it always me? Now, he will have what he wants, especially in my current state."

He was so into his thoughts that he didn't hear Vixry enter the house. She saw Loki pacing around in circles, deep in thought, and muttering some words.

"Loki? What happened? Is something wrong?"

Her arrival made Loki jump because he wasn't expecting her so soon. He turns around to face her. And Vixry sees that his face is drained from color. He was beyond pale.

"Loki, you're pale. Something happened while I was gone. Please, tell me what happened so I can help."

Loki tried to ignore the request but Vixry was very stubborn and set in her ways.

"Loki, if you don't tell me what the problem is, then I have to force it out of you and you're not going to like it one bit if I do. Tell me now or I have to do some dramatic measures".

Loki knew she wasn't joking because there wasn't a hint of playfulness in her voice and her eyes were full of protectiveness.

"Well, a while ago, this old lady came to the door and asked if she could come in and Have a roof over her head because there is a storm coming in and I had to turn her away because I can't bring her into your house. Then, she disappeared in a poor of purple smoke. The color reminded me of someone I despise very much and wishes for my death as we speak. Now, I think he knows now where I am currently residing. I have to leave and now."

The experience made Loki want to cry his eyes out. And Vixry was about to scream her lungs out. She knows who the man behind this act is. And she knows that Loki knows who the individual is too.

Quickly, she grabbed Loki's hands into her own. "Loki, please do not panic. I promise that he won't hurt you in any way while I am by your side. Especially since you're with child. When he comes, he will regret it as soon as sees me."

Loki was shocked to hear because he wasn't expecting that a female would defend his honor. He thinks that she shouldn't sacrifice her life in the hands of the mad titan.

"Vixry, please do not bother to save me from that thing. I am not worth it."

Now, Vixry was beyond passed beyond belief. "Your baby is worth saving."

"You know, you will know to regret that decision when the baby is born. You will regret not having him kill me when he had the chance".

"It doesn't matter which man helped you create the baby, the child has no fault in any of this. Try and prevent me from helping, then you will face the consequences of your actions."

Loki wanted to scream out at her for saying such things. He wants to be saved but his ego often stood in the way.

"Loki, please try to understand. I want you to be saved, as the as the child. Think of your offspring for once".

"I do and all of the others were taken away from me. This baby will be no different".

"Then, you can a fresh start."

"No, I don't think so Vixry. Where do I go from here? He will follow me. And I won't be surprised if he does even in death."

The last comment made Vixry laugh a little. "Loki, promise me one thing."

"What?"

"That you will protect the baby with your life, even if I am gone."

Loki was confused at the request. And Vixry noticed his confusions and decided to clarify better.

"Loki, what I am trying to say is that no matter what happens to me, I want you to take care of your baby. Can you do that for me?"

Loki was hesitant to answer. "What kind of promise is that? And what do you mean what happens to you? You're going to die?"

Vixry weakly smiles. "No, I am not going to die Loki. I just want you to take care of your baby, especially if I am not there by your side. Can you do that Loki?"

Loki nods. " I promise you and much more. I see that you love this child, even if it isn't yours by blood."

"It doesn't matter where the child comes from, a parent will always love their children. I always dreamed of being a mother and when I found out I couldn't have children of my own, that was the worst news I could ever received. And when you appeared and when you told me you were expecting and when you told me that I should be this child's parents, is the best news I could ever receive."

Smiling, the god of mischief said, I am glad that I could make you happy in that regard because you deserve nothing but the best and happiness. You opening up your home to someone like me, especially knowing my background, is something I won't ever forget. In am grateful for that."

Both then shared a kiss.
