Loki and Tony were meeting with the other Avengers. Completely in their suits of course, making sure Loki couldn't be seen. Though they were certain that Thor might sense it's Loki, they needed to do this. The attack plan was going to be in progress that day after all. The entire group was assembled.
"Why does he have his helmet up?" asked Natasha.
"Chill out, the helmet needs to be up because of the new technology I put in our suits." said Tony, lying of course, but it was a convincing lie.
"Anyway, so the attack plan on them?" asked Steve.
Tony looked to Fury who came in, he handed Steve, Natasha, Clint, and Bruce a special helmet, since he knew that Thor could simply breathe in space being a god, and Tony had figured out his own issues, as well as Loki's, though he knew that Loki could also breathe in space also being a god.
"We are going to need to destroy them from the inside. So one of you is going to need to get inside that ship and blow it up from the inside. The rest of you will have to cause diversions to keep them distracted." said Fury.
Tony thought about it, there was less of a chance if he and Loki went inside the ship to destroy it of them getting caught in their lies, but it was also drastically more dangerous.
"I volunteer to attack the inside." spoke Loki, trying to hide his obvious way of speaking.
They all looked at him. "Um and who are you?" asked Fury.
"He's my partner, his name is Ryan." said Tony, making it up of course.
Loki glared at Tony for the new name through the helmet, Tony flinched a little internally knowing he'd upset the other.
"Well Ryan, I can't just send in a new member." said Fury.
"I'll go with him." said Tony.
Loki knew what blowing up that ship meant, he couldn't let Tony go in, but for now he kept his mouth shut. Knowing it was a bad idea to mention to Tony that whoever went in there would inevitably not come out alive. Fury didn't seem to know that somehow, but Loki had more knowledge on these technologies. Thor seemed so lost in the distraction details, that he really hadn't questioned if it was Loki in that suit. Soon the meeting was over, and they want back to Tony's tower.
Loki was quiet, quieter then usual actually. Even for him, this was strange, the attack was tomorrow, they knew it was. So why wasn't Loki going over strategies with him?
"Hey, why are you so quiet?" asked Tony from the doorway of the room he'd given Loki.
Loki looked up from a book and glanced at Tony. "You cannot go into the ship with me." he said calmly.
"Um, and why not?" asked Tony.
"Because if you do, then you will die." spoke Loki.
Tony's face went pale. "What?" he asked.
Loki stood up and walked around a little before he walked out into the living room facing away from Tony.
"Anyone who makes that ship explode from the interior will be crushed, their body will be incinerated. Not even a god like myself could survive such a thing. You must distract with the others." spoke Loki's serious tone.
"Why didn't you say anything at the meeting about this!?" roared Tony angrily.
"Because if I had, it would have blown our cover!" hissed Loki.
"Cover doesn't mean shit if you're dead!" shouted Tony.
"As if it matters! It's better myself then anyone else!" shouted Loki.
"No! There's got to be another way to do this!" screamed Tony.
"THERE'S NOT! DON'T YOU GET IT!? THAT'S WHY THIS IS FURY'S PLAN! WE DON'T HAVE ANOTHER BOMB TO DESTROY IT! WE CAN'T PANIC THAT PUBLIC WITH TALKS OF A NUCLEAR BOMB, WE CANNOT DO ANYTHING THAT WAS DONE LAST TIME. WE HAVE TO SACRIFICE SOMEONE! THAT SOMEONE HAS TO BE ME!" roared Loki like nothing Tony had ever seen.
Tony stared at Loki, the words sinking into him. A nuclear bomb would be impossible without the government throwing people into a panic over it. They couldn't keep a secret worth shit. This was entirely on the Avenger's shoulders. So why did Loki? Why did he want to sacrifice himself for this planet? He hated them. He'd tried to destroy them last time.
"Why...why are you...why do you want to be the one?" asked Tony.
Loki looked down. "You and I both know we're the only ones with the kind of technology required to get rid of that ship. I don't want you dying Stark, so I will take this myself." he hissed.
Loki turned away before Tony could say anything, Tony stared after him, he didn't want to let him go. But he knew Loki was right, he knew that Loki and himself were the only ones with the balls to do this. He couldn't see Loki's eyes fill with tears, he couldn't see after Loki closed his door that he punched the bed hard, almost sending it up into the ceiling, he couldn't see that Loki didn't want to die, and he didn't see the note that Loki wrote in his room. If he had, if he had seen the true emotions that Loki held towards him, he might have grabbed him and kissed him. He might have told him fuck this mission, that they weren't going. He might have ran away with Loki in that very moment. But Loki knew there was no more running, as much as he wanted to, he could not let Tony be harmed, he could not let him be the one to take this blow. He himself would rather do it. Which is why on the note it read:
My final goodbye to you is this. A love letter. You're unbridled emotions and raw tenderness. The way you spoke to me, the way you looked at me. The way you ripped me open and warmed me thorough. I never thought someone like you could enter my life. But I'm afraid that our time is too short, or rather maybe I met you too late. I must die for you to be safe, for a world I don't care for. You are my world, you are my everything. I'm not dying for this world, I am dying for you dearest Anthony Stark. And I would die a billion times over if only to see you smile at me one last time and tell me, just tell me one more time that I meant something to you. That I am special. This is what love must be, because never in my life have I felt something like this. I love you, until forevermore.
Loki put the note in a book and looked up. "JARVIS." he said.
"Yes sir?" the AI responded.
"Make sure he gets this tomorrow after he gets back." spoke Loki.
"Certainly sir." the AI spoke and Loki put the book in a drawer, laying down, he slept for his final night alive.
