Nothingness (first version) :
From the bedroom window, Loki could see the meaningless life of humans filing past before his eyes – and he didn't see the hospital's white walls.
The barely audible sound of a sheet moving drew his attention and Loki turned towards the center of the illuminated room. His eyes immediately found Tony's. He was awake, at last. Loki let the feeling of relief which was spreading through him invade him entirely. He savoured the sweetness of being reunited with the loved one we thought we had lost forever.
Tony's eyes were shining with tiredness, but Loki felt a bitter taste of bile rise in his throat because he could see something else behind them. He could recognize that look, for it was the same Tony had had during their first encounter. Then Loki understood even before Tony spoke, but when he did speak, Loki felt like dying.
"Who are you ?"
In Tony's eyes, he saw the frightening emptiness which is known by the one who does not know who he is anymore. He saw the nothingness.
