Because we care about you! We don't want to save you, we just want you around!

Loki!

[Steve grips him tight.]

If you weren't around, Thor would be dead. What happens the next time he's in danger, huh? What is he gonna do without you?

[ loki scowls, trying to bat steve's hands away. ]

Isn't that what his friends are for? The people he's always chosen over me, the world he has always chosen over me?

[brooklyn_boy]

In his defense, you did try to stab him. A lot.

[Maybe the wrong time for a joke to try and defuse tension. He made an attempt.]

Thor having other people doesn't mean he chooses them over you. Christ, do you know how many awful decisions I've had to make? It's not about the people, a lot of the times. It's what needs to be done.

I am sure, now, he will choose you above all else. He needs you, Lok.

[ loki is stubborn, his shoulders hunched. ]

No, he wouldn't. That is why you are all heroes. You choose what is best, but I have never cared for that.

[ he shakes his head. ]

I can't do that.

[brooklyn_boy]

Sure you do. You just...choose a different thing that's 'best' than we do.

You choose Thor. And Asgard, actually. So it's possible.

[dothelokimotion]

It still leaves me with a very limited amount of concerns.

Either way, it is a moot point considering none of you know of any way to "save" me as it were. Was I supposed to head back, hoping for the best?

[brooklyn_boy]

You're not going anywhere unless we're sure you're gonna be okay. Do you think I'm going to take that sort of a gamble with my best friend?

C'mon. We're going to figure it out. I promise.

[ he sighs, tired. ]

Fine. We shall see.
