[ You know that sound of something breaking the sound barrier as it speeds through the air? That's the sound screaming through the City right as something bright flashes in the sky and hurtles to the ground.

If you're paying attention to your device, you might see a shot of Thor walking his dog before the whatever-it-is crashes into him with a boom and a bright flash of light.

A sharp inhale of breath. ]

You--


[ voice; later ]

[ If dude doesn't sound good, it's because he just fought his brother, fell through a wormhole, crashed into the ground, and fought his brother…..again.

In other words, Loki has a massive headache. ]

I have gathered the basics of my situation. Someone send me this supposed guide, whatever use it may be.


[ ooc: Please check out Loki's permissions!!! ]

[SILENCE]

Oh, crud.

[godofabs]

Our last meeting was not a fortunate one, please use your magic to heal him.

[chilled]

I do not need help, least of all from a child.

[godofabs]

You are hurt, brother. If you wish to fight further, at least fight when you are at your fullest.

[chilled]

Has it escaped your memory I tried to kill you? And yet you would be stupid enough to restore me to health out of misplaced pity.

What I wish is for you to leave me be.

[godofabs]

It was I that drove you to those extremes, was it not? Whatever may come, you are still my brother.

[chilled]

I am not your-- [ But he bites it off before the rest can escape him. Already he has Thor's pity, already he is beneath even contempt: what would revealing his true nature bring? ]

I do not need your aid.

[godofabs]

No matter what you do Loki, even if we be enemies, you cannot change the fact that you will always be my brother.

I will use force to make you see Billy.

[chilled]

[ How can any man be capable of such devotion (and it is that, even Loki can see it plain as daylight)? Even in the face of everything Loki has done, Thor still calls him brother as if such a thing is as simple a truth as gravity or the color of the sky. To look in the face of such love is too painful a thing to bear, and that pain is like a blade twisting in his stomach.

He hasn't the will to fight it now, though. ]

...The boy says he is an unskilled healer. I will fare better tending myself.

[godofabs]

The boy underestimates himself, there is no one I trust more than he.

{There's a pleading in Thor's voice. If he can at least take care of the injuries he gave Loki, maybe it will help that burned bridge, even if it just a little bit.]

At least let me take you to see him, Loki.

[chilled]

[ Those unthinking words shouldn't sting, because Loki has done everything in his power to destroy what trust had lain between them. ]

It will serve little purpose.

[ That's not a 'no'. ]

[godofabs]

You have no choice in this.

[chilled]

I am in little condition to argue.

[godofabs]

Good.

[inmyothertights]

I'm not so good at healing, I mean, I've done it but I...

[There's a really tortured pause because damn it, Thor, Billy can't say no]

Yeah, okay, I'll try.

[godofabs]

... Thank you. I have to be the one to bring him to you.

[inmyothertights]

I'm at the Palace.

[godofabs]

I will be as fast as I can.
