Chapter 3 Watch Out!
Loki and Angrboda headed for the spaceship borrowed form Valhalla, which was broke drown in a plane crash not long ago.
'Do you think you can fix it?' Loki asked Angrboda, standing right in front of the spaceship.
'I can try.' Angrboda replied while a blast of blue light appeared on her hand.
Loki looked at her, 'who taught you sorcery?' He asked.
Angrboda took a glance at him and replied, 'my mother, she knew it as an Asgardian.'
'My mother used to teach me sorcery too,' Loki said as he fixed the left wing of the ship with green sorcery.
'I know,' Angrboda replied.
The two then kept on using sorcery to fix the spaceship, it took them 2 hours, eventually.
The spaceship looked brand new after all the 'healing', Loki walked into the ship, following by Angrboda, while he re-activated the program stored in the spaceship. The screen of the ship sparkles in seconds and there was a lifeless electrical voice speaking, 'system re-activated, one message received from scrapper 142, one message received from scrapper 142.'
Loki pressed a few buttons on the spaceship, an electrical image of Valkyrie immediately appeared, she was in her silver armour and blue cape. While everyone in the background was morning and worrying, Valkyrie said with a deep frowned, 'Loki? Can you hear me, Loki? This is Valkyrie! Everybody's down, Loki! I bet Thanos had succeeded, cause about half of the... Asgardians... they vanished, they are vanishing now! We have to do...' the voice stopped, Valkyrie's face started to vanish, they turned into black ashes, she was gone, too.
Loki turned around and looked at Angrboda, while she looked at him, too. Then he looked at his hands, both of them were as good as before.
Why?
This must be a question which he had asked himself millions of times, or perhaps trillions of times before.
The mad titan he served, might have killed off his brother, his ally, his friends, or himself.
He thought he bought along the Avengers, everything was going to be fine, but he was wrong.
If he was meant to be the one to stop this, to save the world, would he be capable, capable enough to fight the monster which defeated him?
For what The Other had said, his wills were childish, his thought was a real mess, he did not know pain.
He looked at his hands, he looked at the girl.
He did not know pain, but he knew pain now.
How painful.
'Thanos succeed, he won over the Avengers...' The girl slowly opened her mouth and interrupted his thought, she was shivering as she spoke.
Who the hell was she? He knew nothing about her, but she knew everything about him. He used to know everyone well, he used to be a mind-reader, but now he was mind-read.
'We're all on our own now,' He could think of nothing to say, so he said something desperate, or trying to comfort himself that she was still there.
She nodded, he activated the spaceship and pressed a few buttons.
'Access to Jotunheim.' The cold electrical voice mentioned while the door of the spaceship closed automatically.
Angrboda sat on the seat beside Loki, he was flying the spaceship and she can see the fear in his eyes, she knew him, she knew him well, she knew what happened before all these, she looked at the direction they were going, off to the land he feared most, or even they feared the most, what was there? Despite fear and courage, what would they get?
Finally, the spaceship arrived, on the land of the frost giants. Angrboda and Loki stepped out, the weather there was as cold as it used to be, and they almost saw nothing instead of ice and rocks, and they almost felt nothing instead of the howling wind, the sky was in shades of grey.
This was Jotunheim, the place where he was born, this was supposed to be his origin.
What if everything ended up here?
Well, it might be even worse, he might not even have enough food, he might be tortured, or left to die like Odin told him so, he might have died long ago, his corpse might have decayed, on one of those cold rocks or within the cold soil.
After all, he was still abandoned.
No matter in Asgard or in Jotunheim, he was always abandoned, he even killed his parents, he murdered all of them.
He felt guilt, he felt sadness, he was afraid.
Laufey's son.
What if the giants found out about his origin? How would it be? What if this was the end game? What if he never returned? What if he failed? What if Thor vanished along with Valkyrie and Thanos ruled this world? What if he could never see those he loved again? What if, what if he died and returned to the time he fell from the Bifrost and returned to the time he met Thanos?
Jotunheim was so cold, he was shivering, but not because of coldness.
He moved, they moved.
So quiet no human beings could have heard them.
But they were not facing human beings, those were giants.
In one of those mountains on Jotunheim, someone was watching.
You think the land of giants had no access to technology, then you were wrong.
A female giant was sitting in an armchair at the control centre, where several monitors were in front of her, clearly showing every place in Jotunheim. She had a wild blue face and notable marks, her long, black hair was braided to the side, she was wearing a black armour and her fingers were so long, so thin, so terrifying when they tapped on the control keyboard, you would think that her nails were going to break.
She showed an ugly, cunning smile.
