A week had passed since their heart to heart, and things were different. They were still stuck on Sakaar, but neither of them thought much of leaving. Both far too focused how their relationship was growing.

As much as Tasha tried to push Loki away, he wouldn't let her... and it got to a point where she wouldn't stop him.

"You know I hate these things." Tasha sighed as she felt Loki's arm snake around her waist.

"If you'd like, we could go home and do something more... enticing."

"You're such a flirt." Tasha sighed playfully. "I hate you."

"I hate you." Loki replied with a smirk, dodging Tasha's hand which went to slap him.

"I'm thirsty."

"I will get you a refreshment."

"Iced tea please, darling."

Tasha waited patiently for Loki to return, but as her feet got tired she decided to find a place to sit. Her heart sunk when she noticed Loki at the bar, a waitress leaning against him as him and her laughed. Her eyes flashed purple as anger boiled in her chest, betrayal turning to rage as she stalked over to the two.

"Darling, here—" Loki was about to hand Tasha her drink when she grabbed the waitress by the hair and threw her hard across the room. "What the hell—"

Tasha's magic broke the glass in Loki's hand as he looked at her worriedly. "Tasha, what's wrong? Why are you—"

Loki was silenced when Tasha brought her hand down across his cheek hard, the sound echoing in her ears. She then moved passed him, knowing well enough Loki would follow her. "Tasha! Slow down!" He went to grab her arm but let out a yelp when her skin burned his hand.

"How many woman did you bed while I thought you were dead?"

"What?!"

"It's a simple question." Tasha snapped, not looking at Loki as anger boiled in her veins. The music in the club couldn't even begin to drown out the broken thoughts in her head. "With a simple answer."

"Tasha—"

Tasha looked at him, smiling coldly at him. "That's what I thought. Goodbye, Loki."

Loki called after her, but she drowned him out as she became lost in the crowd of people before exiting the club.

I have to get off this stupid planet. Get as far away from Loki as fucking possible.

"Look at that, boys!"

Tasha's steps halted as she saw a group of men down the alley from her. She sighed in frustration but continued to advance the dark and narrow street.

"What's a pretty thing like you doing out here all alone?" One of the men asked as he stepped towards her, the other men cackling with laughter.

"C'mon, guys. Let's not make a scene." Tasha said as the men surrounded her. One of the men touched Tasha's arm, causing her to pull back. "Don't fucking touch me."

"You got a mouth on you, don't you?" The main thug smirked as he continued to advance on her. "The things I'd love to do with that mouth—"

Tasha sighed in annoyance. "You really don't want to piss me off right now."

"Ooh, whatcha gonna do about it, princess?"

Tasha held her hand out as she silently called for her sword, but she felt no connection anymore. Tasha looked wearily at the men in front of her.

"Haha! Look at that! I'm so scared, little girl."

Tasha punched the man across the face, hitting him over and over again but before she could do anything else two men dragged her by the arms and shoved her hard against a wall. The man she had beat rose from his feet and pulled out a knife, running it along her throat to her cleavage.

"I'm going to make you scream, little girl, and then I'm going to kill you."

Tasha spat in his face. "Fuck you!"

"Why, you little—" Before the man could stab her throat, he was thrown off her, green lights flashing before Tasha's eyes and before she knew it she was standing in the middle of the apartment with Loki's tight hold on her arm.

"Did they hurt you?" He asked worriedly as he began to look over her body for any wounds.

"Just my pride." Tasha mumbled as she ripped her arm out of his grasp.

"Tasha, I think I know why you're upset, but you have to believe I did not intend—"

"To get caught?"

"No, to hurt you. I didn't realize that was something that would upset you. I was trying to get you a free drink—"

"Good to know my feelings mean less than a free beverage does." Tasha rolled her eyes.

Loki began to explain his side of things but Tasha paid little attention as she thought about the encounter with the creepy men.

Why wouldn't my sword come to me?

She couldn't feel the magic in her body as she usually did, and she became more worried by the second.

"My powers are gone."

"—What?" Loki was pulled from his apology at that statement, looking at her with a confused expression.

"Sarrjer. I called and it didn't come."

"That doesn't mean you lost you powers—"

"You saw me back there! I couldn't defend myself! I tried! I wanted to kill every one of them but when I tried... there was nothing." Tasha lifted her hands to show him that even as she tried as hard as she could, no magic came out.

Loki was puzzled as he gently took her hand, examining it closely. "Something is wrong."

"We'll figure this out, Tasha—"

"We?!?" Tasha spat, moving away from him. "There is no we. You made sure of that—"

"You didn't listen to anything I just said, did you?"

Tasha rolled her eyes impatiently. "No. Why would I?!"

"I didn't cheat on you! I am many things but a cheater is not among those that I am. You're the only woman I have eyes for. The only woman I crave every moment of every day. In the realms there is no one I want but you."

Tasha rolled her eyes once more, "I'm not dealing with this bullshit." Turning away from him but before she could take another step Loki stopped her with magic.

"You promised you wouldn't do that!" Tasha turned back to him with a glare.

"Just listen to me! I didn't sleep with anyone!" Loki's eyes pleaded with her.

Tasha's rage settled the slightest bit as she contemplated his words. "But... why did you lie to me then?!"

Loki sighed. "We were in a good place and I didn't want it to be ruined by childish behaviour—"

"Andddd once again, it's all about Loki. Shocker!" Tasha feigned surprise, her fury returning full force.

"As Odin a girl kissed me, yeah? It happened a few times, nothing more."

Tasha let out a shrill laugh. "A few times?! A FEW?! You don't even feel bad, do you?"

"Why should I? It's already done and it didn't mean anything — " Loki replied irritatedly.

"It doesn't matter if it's already done! You lied to me, and you fucking faked your death and while I was left without you, you what? Sat on your throne, eating grapes with pretty sluts on your arms."

"I know what I did was wrong! But you're not innocent in this either!"

"Me?!"

"I saw you! With that human and —"

"Don't you dare turn the blame on me!"

"What am I supposed to do when I see another man fuck you?! Huh?! A human no less! We're bonded for eternity and a betrayal such as that—"

"Betrayal?!" Tasha screamed at him in completely fury. "I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD! I WATCHED THE LIGHT LEAVE YOUR EYES! I WAS LEFT ALONE TO PICK UP THE PIECES OF WHAT WAS LEFT OF MY HEART!"

Loki's anger faded quickly as he saw how hurt she was because of his words. "Tasha—"

"No! I refuse to listen to you, Loki! All you do is destroy things! You think you don't deserve something so you lash out and ruin everything. You ruined my life! You made a young girl fall so in love with you that she lost herself. But again and again I trusted you! And you know what?! Yeah, yeah I did fuck him! You know why?! Because I love him! Because for years I thought you were dead and I finally found someone who made me happy — no it wasn't anything like what my love was for you but I still love him. You want to blame your indiscretions on me? Go ahead. You want to blame all your misery on me?! FINE! Tell me how jealous you were watching someone else fuck me, knowing you put yourself in that situation—"

"Stop—"

"Did your non-existent heart break when I called his name and not yours? How did it feel when you realized how happy I was?!"

"Stop!" Loki yelled at her as his eyes narrowed.

"Make me!" Tasha screamed as pain and anger overtook her being entirely. "Do you want to know how many times I fucked him? Did you weep when you saw the way I looked at him? Utterly in love with a man that wasn't you?"

Loki let out a low growl before grabbing her face harshly, pulling it to his and kissing her lips roughly.
