Blood On The Battle Field



You are on the battle field and surrounded by Thanos's henchmen. Everyone is fighting something or someone. You are fighting off a group of Outriders, every time you strike one down two more appear. You scan the field to see Steve fighting Cull Obsidian, they are fairly matched in strength and ability but Steve seems to have the upper hand at the moment. You can see most of the team but one is missing. You can't find Loki, you can feel your stomach start to sink.

You can hear Thor yell out your name. "Lark! Behind you..."

You finish off two more Outriders and turn to see Loki matching magic to magic with Ebony Maw. You raise your hands to use your powers to help him when you feel the claws of an Outrider dig in to your shoulder. You turn to face the jaws of the creature almost at your throat.

Thor's hammer flies into its head removing it from the shoulders. Thor looks past you and you see his eyes widen. You turn to see Ebony Maw holding Loki in a magical hold as eight Outriders descend upon Loki. You scream and the power is already rolling in your hands. As you raise them and throw as much power as you can at Ebony to break his hold on Loki, you hear his screams.

"Loki! Nooo!" You don't even realize the words have left your mouth. Everything has gone mute. The only thing you hear is your breathing as you watch Loki's body being ripped at. It slowly sinks under the pile of Outriders.

You let out a massive blast of power, the field around you is cleared of your enemies. Tears burn as they run down your face and you fall to your knees.

You scream. "No!..No!"

You are jolted from your nightmare as Steve holds you sitting up in bed. The tears still burn your face as they fall in real.

"Lark It's a nightmare. You're safe." He holds your face in his large hands and wipes the tears from your cheek.

The pain is still sitting in the middle of your heart. Loki has to be Ok but you don't know for sure because he has not returned from Asgard yet. You need to find Thor, you know he is still here.

You look at Steve. " I need to find Thor now."

Steve looks at you with a puzzled expression. "Lark, it's 2 o'clock in the morning. He's probably asleep. Why do you need Thor?"

"I need him to find Loki! He needs to find him now!" You say as you grab shorts to throw on.

"What?" Is all Steve can say. "Why?" He is already moving to get dressed too.

"I can't explain right now. I need to get to Thor." You turn and run out in to the hallway towards the elevators. Thor's room is a floor below yours. You can't wait an extra second for the elevator so you take the stairs next to it. You reach Thor's room as you hear Steve's footsteps catch up to yours.
You pound loudly on the door. "Thor, Please wake up! Thor!" you continue to pound until a weary eyed Thor opens it.

"Lady Stark, what is wrong?" He can instantly see the worry in your face.

"Have you heard from Loki today? Have you seen him?" Your whole body is still visibly shaking.

"No, I have not. I last saw him a few days ago when I last visited Asgard. Why?" He sees Steve over your shoulder looking just as confused as he is.

" I need you to go to Asgard now! I need you to find him and make sure he is safe." Tears start to fall once again.

"Lark, I don't understand, why are you so upset? Why are you concerned about my brother?"

"I..I had a horrible dream. I need to make sure he is safe please." You plead with him and both he and Steve can hear the desperation in your voice.

"All right. I will go to Asgard immediately and check on him. Please, try to calm down Lark. You are scaring both of us." Thor looks at Steve and nods.

"I will as soon as I know he is Ok. Please hurry Thor." You feel Steve's hands on your shoulders as he turns you to him. He wraps his arms around you and pulls you tightly against him.

"Lark, you're scaring me. What happened in your dream?" He says in to your hair.

"I saw Loki die. It..it was in battle with Thanos's army. It was..there was so much blood."
You can still feel the pain in your chest, it won't go away until you know Loki is safe.

As Thor steps outside and calls to Heimdall to open the Bifrost. Loki is asleep in his chambers in Asgard.

Loki looks around his surroundings. Thanos' army is spread out across the landscape. Loki fights Outriders as he crosses the battle field. He sees the team scattered across the field fighting. He can't see you and his anger and fear is rising. He turns when he hears a scream that he recognizes instantly. He turns and looks to his right, you are standing before Thanos.
You are using every once of your powers to hold him at bay but he is inching his way closer to you.

Loki yells out your name. "Lark! I'm coming." He starts to rush towards you and Thanos.
You turn your attention for just a second as you hear his voice. It is all it takes for Thanos to close the gap as your power waivers.

Thanos grabs you by your shoulders and raises you off the ground screaming.

"It's over little one. There is no need to continue to struggle." Thanos says as he lifts you closer to his face.

"I'll never stop." You hiss at him.

Loki is still to far away to hear what you are saying. He is fighting his way closer to you.
Thanos lets out a breath. "Then I will do it for you." He takes one hand and grabs your throat. You turn to look at Loki with defeat in your eyes. You mouth to him "I love you." As you do Thanos squeezes and snaps your neck. Your body goes limp in his hands. Loki screams and eviscerates the creatures before him as Thanos turns and walks back to his ship dragging your body behind him.

Loki wakes up screaming as Thor enters his chambers. "Brother, what is wrong?"

Loki catches his breath but unable to shake the image of your lifeless body. His heart aching to know that you are safe. "I had a dream that's all. Wait, why are you here?"

Thor comes closer to Loki. "Lark, she sent me here to look for you."

Loki's breathing quickens when he hears your name. "Why? Is she ok? Did something happen to her?" Loki jumps out of bed grabbing his clothes.

"No brother, she is fine. It's actually just the opposite. She had a nightmare and sent me here to check on you. She was terrified that something had happened to you."

Loki slumps back on to his bed. His head falls in to his hands. " Thank the Heavens."

Thor is surprised by his brothers reaction. " Loki, what is going on? There is something that you're not telling me? What have you been doing in Asgard this whole time?"

Loki composes himself. "I had a dream that I couldn't stop Thanos from getting to Lark. I saw him take her life and drag her away like a rag doll." A shiver runs down Loki's spine as he recalls the image. "I've been researching something Lark had asked me about a few days ago and I needed to consult some books here."

"What is going on here brother? You both dream of the other dying almost at the same time. How can that be?" Thor is worried that Loki is hiding something again.

Loki looks up at him and stands up. "Brother, I will gladly explain everything but I must speak with Lark first." Thor follows his brother to the BiFrost and asks Heimdall to send them both back to Midgard.
