"I'm Fine"
Loki moves toward Jane trying to enjoy her coffee.
"Do you think I am a monster?" He asks out of nowhere.
"No, why would you think that?" She pours him a cup of Joe. The dream replays in his head of riots, of those who ignore his call of kneeling dominance, and of those spitting at him and simply calling him "demon! "Villain!" "Monster!" The last name hit him hard and in his dream, he fade turning to a frozen blue and his eyes spread a crimson across only to make the crowd shriek and trample in fear.
"Bad dreams again" He mumbles having the rest of the dream play. . . Odin mocks him in his frozen form. "Just love me, father. Accept me, dad. I am just like Thor." Odin stops and shakes his head, no. "You are just different." The words are forced out of Odin's mouth with a harsh tone. "I was being merciful." Then he laughs. "It was just to show off a small bit of sensitivity to Thor's mother." Loki's breath catches in his throat when he heard the words Thor's mother. Loki had never felt so lonely as he did in that moment. Even in the prison, Loki never felt that lonely or lost.
He has a single tear fall from his eye, but tries not to allow Jane to see. She sees the light reflect the tear, while she is pouring the milk for his coffee.
"Are you crying?" She is baffled.
"I'm fine." He swallows hard and wipes his tear with his finger.
"You are not a monster. You are unique. I think you need to embrace your uniqueness."
"But I want to rule the world." Jane wants to laugh, but she knows he is serious.
"Maybe you get people to like you first . . . Maybe use your ice form to help deliver ice cream." She sips her coffee. He sighs.
"Look, I'll do some research and we'll figure out something."
