Spoilers for all things Cinematic-verse

[deathslover]

Pleased with yourself?

So many doubted and yet you still held onto the hope that what you thought was coming was on it's way.

And now you've been rewarded, mortal.

[Excuse him while he just smirks, admiring the gauntlet adorning his hand with a red gem filling one of the empty spots.]

I will make them all suffer and then my love will have what she wants.

[His fist clenches and a dangerous smirk appears now.]

It's just like the Collector said.

One down, five to go.

Comments

[odinsons]

And you think that will be an easy feat to collect the rest?

[deathslover]

Easy? Hardly.

But that's why I count on you mortals to lead me straight to all of them.

[kittysdragon]

Hmph,'ell yeh still gonna get your ass kicked, Mister Thanos. Sides, by the time yeh ready, won't just be Avengers yeh have to worry about.

[arach_nerd]

...jeeze, could you sound any more like a stalker?

[deathslover]

I highly doubt it. It wouldn't be the first time a collective has tried to deal with me.

[deathslover]

I could.

Would you like me to try?

[arach_nerd]

No, see, that was a concept known as sarcasm.

You do remember that she's not into you, right? In fact, according to my mun she's got a thing for fourth-wall breaking mercenaries.

[treachery]

Five gems, nine realms, ten billion souls.

[ He speaks softly, calmly. Nearly without inflection. ]

And here, lonely as an unanswered prayer, a single lover of death.

[deathslover]

[Oh you just HAD to go there, didn't you?]

He is nothing but a pathetic whelp. She's just entertaining him.

[He's in denial okay? His mun likes to remind him of the events of the Thanos Imperative over and over and over again.]

Plus, it won't matter once I'm through. None of it will.

[kittysdragon]

Heed's sure if the right Outta Space types band t'gether, they deal with yeh no probs. Fancy Infin'y Guantlet or not. [Lockheed would join them and the Avengers but wrong rihts company so...]

[deathslover]

And tell me, Loki. What have you accomplished? You can't honestly think that throne will bear you for much longer.

[A small smirk.]

It's not as if you got that far without the aid of another after all.

[deathslover]

[It's going to make the Infinity War far less epic, sadly.]

You mean The Guardians? Or perhaps you were referring to the Inhumans. Or did you mean Galactus and the other worldly beings?

Let them try to stop me. It'll be fun.

[treachery]

Shelve your mockery, Titan.

[ Lightly delivered words, but still Loki does not shift into his characteristic self-satisfaction. ]

An alliance with the Allfather would only cast a favorable light upon your future plans.

[kittysdragon]

[Well between Avengers, SHIELD, Guardians, size changing scientists, blind lawyers, skin proof sweet christmasers, crystal detectives, kung fu kicking chi users, sorceror supremes and possibly princes of Wakanda, inhuman silent men and kree-powered super heroines, there's enough epicness for Lockheed and his Mun there! Mutants, Fantastic Forces and Web Swingers optional.]

All of 'em. Skrull, Kree, Inhuman, Brood, Sh'iar, th' lot. And it would be fun to see yeh get smashed t' bits. Heed will bring th' popcorn

[arach_nerd]

Did it ever occur to you that your plan might be the actual problem? It's like going up to a girl and saying "Happy Valentine's Day! I'm putting you out of a job!"

Only in this case it's less a job and more the entire reason for her existence.

[deathslover]

Would it?

You realize that once I have what I need, even you--the self proclaimed Allfather--cannot stand in my way, right?

I have those I need. You served your purpose but now? You're a bit..worn out and overused, Loki.

[deathslover]

There is still death, no matter what the universe looks like, fool. She will have her reason to exist. I'm merely doing this to gain her true favor.

[treachery]

The Eternal Realm is no paltry backwater as Midgard will always be — you do yourself a disservice by dismissing her perpetuity as a triviality.

[ Worn out, he says. Finally, Loki smiles. Just the slightest shift of his expression, a ripple of a breeze touching the surface of a pond. ]

Nevertheless, your wisdom has carried you thus far. May it carry you into the same perpetuity of purpose that Asgard has enjoyed.

[deathslover]

And yet Malekith had no issues causing you all quite a bit of trouble.

[And he's nothing in comparison to Thanos, let's be honest.

That last bit gets a deep chuckle from the titan as he tilts his head a bit.]

Hold onto that throne while you can, Loki. You may not have it for much longer.

[jotunblooded]

I feel it's only fair to point out that they have a Hulk.

[Not that it matters. Not that anything any of this universe's pathetic amount of heroes could possibly muster matters. Not against Thanos.

It's part of the reason why Loki hasn't bothered to say anything as to the identity of his true master, even if he would really very much like Thanos to be taken off the board. Once upon a time, he would have at least taken some small satisfaction in watching Asgard and Midgard burn.]

[treachery]

[ He doesn't point out that he wasn't upon the throne when Malekith struck. Thanos already knows as much. ]

I fashioned myself into a tool for your hand, once. Let it be known that I will do so again, if only you would have me — I found it to be a singularly exhilarating experience.

[ So he says. ]

And I will leave it at that, lest you mistake my insistence for insincerity.

[gamora]

Because that's worked out for you in the past.

( alternate universes - Gamora is already 100% done with them. )

[deathslover]

[As epic as his mun would find that, sadly Marvel Studios doesn't own enough to make it quite that epic. :| Sigh.]

I look forward to the challenge you seem to think you all present.

[deathslover]

Your words are enticing but, unsurprisingly I find myself doubting that you would play so nicely with someone wanting the power you no doubt want for yourself.

[But he'll keep you in mind, little chaos bringer.]

[deathslover]

So I've heard and seen as he so delightedly tossed you about.

It's about time someone with an actual threat level presented themself.
