Imagining Loki having frequent nightmares and trouble sleeping. He would go to find Mantis late one night and hesitantly ask for her help, showing a more vulnerable side of him that few would ever get to witness.
Mantis would then hold him in her arms, using her powers to send him into a deep, comfortable sleep. Loki would curl closer to her, grip loosening around her body, because for the first time after so long he finally felt truly safe and at peace. The two of them would rest together for the whole night, the night after that, and the night after that one.
Eventually, Mantis would no longer need to use her powers. Her presence alone would simply be enough.
