Loki | MCU | OTA

Reality Bends

As he stands outside the apartment complex, the sky shifts into unexpected colours. There’s something strange in the air, like it’s alive somehow. There’s a general sense of strangeness, of otherness all over the city now and Loki…

Well, Loki can’t quite bring himself to care. There’s part of him that recognizes that’s odd. That he should care, at least enough to try and get out of here and back to saving the multiverse and blah blah blah. It’s all just so tiresome. He really doesn’t know why he bothers anymore.


Shadowy Haunts

More and more, Loki has felt like being on his own. Not that he’s met that many people here, but even the few he’s previously enjoyed spending time with seem tedious at best. The truth of it is, he’s starting to feel more like his old self.

Those old fears have been coming back to him. The ones that tell him he’ll never be enough, he’ll never live up to Thor, he’ll never be able to prove himself to his father, or anyone else. How he’d ever become the one who was saving the multiverse is totally beyond him. Mobius had been wrong, he couldn’t be anything and simply the fact that he’s here, trying to prove himself again should be evidence enough of that.

As this feeling in him grows, Loki finds himself unable to sleep and wandering the area. One night he comes across the diner and enters, vaguely surprised that anything is open in the wee hours of the morning. He can be found here any given night during the mission.


Contamination

Ever since he ran into Vanessa while cleaning up after the space station crashed down, Loki has been feeling off. Though, if you ask him, he’s been feeling more like himself. It’s like the weight of the world (or more accurately the multiverse) has been lifted from his shoulders. He can no longer remember why it is so important to get back. Why was he even trying to help in the first place? That was really more Thor’s thing.

Though in his mind, he feels relaxed and honestly a little relieved, anyone who comes across Loki might think he looks tired and worn down and possibly not in the best of moods. But who needs sleep when you’ve just freed yourself from the ultimate responsibility? As time goes by, he’ll be more snappy, rude and will start to look more sickly.

Approach with caution.
