Agents of Shield: Probably taking her to DramaDramaDuck.

[wayoutsidethebox]

You know, there's a lot of words besides unhappy. I'm mostly... confused. First Ward, then my... my Dad, then Trip. Yeah, okay, maybe unhappy is the word but it's not like I'm alone. Coulson and May and the entire team, they're my family now. We'll figure this out. Somehow.

[tricksandmischief]

Families can be difficult.

[wayoutsidethebox]

The having notsomuch. It's the losing that's hard. Or the not having and then having but not sure you want.

[tricksandmischief]

Yes... I understand.

[Losing a mother. Father issues. He can relate.]

[wayoutsidethebox]

Fun stuff. Instead of saying hello, I start a therapy session. Sorry to unload.

[tricksandmischief]

Introductions may be in order then.

I am Loki.

[wayoutsidethebox]

Yeah, before you start charging by the hour.

Skye.

[Look at them, first name only buddies.]

[tricksandmischief]

Skye... And you know of Coulson?

[wayoutsidethebox]

I guess you could say that. Mutual acquintance?

[tricksandmischief]

Do you not know my name? Surely he mentioned me.

[Yes, this Loki is aware Coulson is alive.]

[wayoutsidethebox]

I'd remember hearing a L- Oh my god.

[She hadn't thought about his name, distracted as she was by friends dying and turning into whatever the hell she had turned into and...

But the second she does, she remembers.]

New York Loki?

[tricksandmischief]

There was an incident there, yes.

[wayoutsidethebox]

An incident? That's what you call an incident?! Do you realize what you did?!

...No, you do. You just don't care.

[tricksandmischief]

You are SHIELD, aren't you? Only SHIELD ever get so upset over this.

[Or so he has noticed in his game experience.]

[wayoutsidethebox]

You mean only SHIELD knows about it. There's a lot of people who get plenty upset about the guy who almost destroyed our planet.

[tricksandmischief]

So it would seem... All else I hear is of an alien invasion and no mention of myself.

[He's not sure how he feels about that. It affects both his reputation and his ego - on the one hand it seems his name isn't being associated with its failure but then he's also being overlooked in favour of generic aliens. He supposed he could only blame himself. Despite Stark's claims that Loki liked to put on a show, he had after all only been seen in the main battle by the Avengers themselves. The glory should have come afterwards.]

But you are incorrect if you think I wanted to destroy Midgard... Your Earth. I would have ruled it and how can one rule when everything is destroyed?

[wayoutsidethebox]

Oh, if that's all, nevermind. It's totally understandable to kill millions of people so you can rule the world. God, how much cookie cutter bad guy can you get?

[Says the girl who knows nothing about him, other than the attack.]

I, for one, am really glad not to be calling you "Your Highness" right now.

[tricksandmischief]

Nobody need have died - and where do you get such a figure from? I hardly think millions perished there. Perhaps you are confusing me with your own internal wars.

[wayoutsidethebox]

That's because you were stopped. How many would have died fighting your rule? What do you think gives you the right?

[tricksandmischief]

They were foolish to resist such a benevolent rule.

[wayoutsidethebox]

Yeah? What's your policy on world peace? Global warming? Hunger? Get in line and compaign, like every other money hungry politician.

[tricksandmischief]

I have no need of money and I am no politician. Gods do not have to campaign.

Sorry if this is too much Skye

[noise_and_funk]

I'm sure you guys will figure everything out and save the day.

Are you? Are you really?

[wayoutsidethebox]

...Trip. [She has to cover her mouth for a second, to give herself the ability to speak over that lump in the throat.] God, I have so much to say to you...

[And no idea where to start. She knows how this is possible but it kills her this isn't possible in her own world, that he's...that he's gone.]

Well....

[noise_and_funk]

[With that patented Trip smile.]

I know. I'm just glad you made it out okay. I...wasn't quite sure.

[Here Skye, have a hug. Assuming you want one.]

I knew it...

[wayoutsidethebox]

[Want one? She wants more than one. Trip had stepped in in a big way when they had all been betrayed, helping out SHIELD and being an invaluable friend to Skye.

She won't cry. She keeps telling herself that, but it's harder doing than saying. Instead, she'll curl her fists into his shirt.]

Not enough. We both should have, should've been both of us.

Re: I knew it...

[noise_and_funk]

[He holds her and rocks a little.]

You know I'm not going to argue that one, but I do feel I should point out that Coulson was dead once, too. There are all sorts of ways things aren't what they seem like.

Or so my mun keeps saying.

[wayoutsidethebox]

[She wants to believe it and you better bet she's going to look and not give up and if she has any say so, the next time they meet, it's going to be a happen reunion but at the same time, she's scared. Things are changing so much and he just died in front of her.]

There's alien technology. [A woman who never aged, a man that had aged backwards.] It's brought a lot of trouble, it seems like it owes us at least that much.
