Β Β Β Β Β Β Β there's a chill that runs straight through them. fear. cold, icey fear that claws at their chest. making it hard to breath. no. no. this wasn't supposed to be how this happened. they'd only needed timely for his temperal aura. they hadn't needed him for anything more. but amongst the chaos --
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β chaos. no matter how hard they tried, they'd always breed chaos. destruction always followed so shortly after. loki, who could never keep whatever amount of peace they'd ever managed to collect. who let everything they've ever loved go with claw marks on it.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β and now, they'd let the very man they were terrified of destroy the world as they all knew it. all because he didn't like the story that was pre-determined for him? wasn't that the same exact thing loki was trying to do. rewrite their own story. fix what all they've broken. be better? was it only so bad when it put their friends in danger? when it put them in danger?
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β what had the expected? for him to play his part to perfection and then bow out gracefully? they'd been so naive to think so. to trust that their later problem, as mobius had put it, wouldn't be so bad since he believed they would be able to handle it.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β why did a god put so much faith in a human's words? because they trusted him. but where did that trust get them -- no. it was victor's fault. kang. nathanial. he who remains. whatever path he was on, now, it was bringing the very fabric of reality to it's knees.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β βΒ Β Β Β Β Β you don't need to do this, victor. Β Β Β β Β it's a fool's attempt at repeating the words their brother had said to them. the hero's card so unfamiliar in their hands, fumbling to play the part. but maybe it wasn't a hero that was needed, now, in the chaos. in the aftermath of disaster -- maybe they needed to embrace that chaos.
