Chapter Text
Darkness. That’s all she could feel was darkness and that horrible ringing in her head. Camila was lying on the cold floor of the wrecked ship, calling for her Loki but he never came. Her voice to frail and soft. She had never felt so helpless in her entire life.
“Loki… I need you.” Her small voice called out.
A strong pair of arms wrapped her into an embrace. Only this wasn’t Loki. This was her brother in law. Thor.
“Camila, oh my, Camila are you ok. Loki can’t lose you; he’d be broken.” Thor said sternly to the dying woman. “I know what I must do.”
He gently set her back down looking to his desperate brother who had been shackled with broken debris. His mouth gagged so he could no longer talk.
In the distance, Thor could see his beloved friend Heimdall get stabbed through the chest. “NOOOOO.” He yelled running out to face Thanos.
Only Thanos got the upper hand, he picked Thor up by his neck and squeezed the life out of him.
Loki struggled against his binds; in the process, he noticed his beloved screaming. Trying to get to Thor. There was little she could do.
Thor chocked out his last words, “You… Will… Never… Be… Worthy.” Then that was it. Thor’s neck snapped. He was gone.
Camila’s voice was no more her screaming and pleading. Thanos laughed at her attempts and dropped Thor’s lifeless body next to her.
Camila sobbed as Thanos and the Black Order faded away. Loki was released and crawled to his brother and his beloved.
“Thor, my brother. It should have been me.” Loki sobbed. He held his brother tightly while gripping his wife close, knowing that the ship was about to blow.
The ship blew and Loki had to keep Camila close at all costs. She went unconscious in his arms and there was nothing he could do but watch his brother’s body drift away.
“Goodbye, my dear brother.” He mouthed as tears streamed down his cheeks and he held Camila closer and crying into her hair. "May we see each other again."
Then there was a ship that came straight for them. He tried to move out of its way so I wouldn’t collide with him but he was too late. There were five beings on the ship all staring at Loki.
The furry creature pointed to the bottom of the ship were one of the beings came to get Loki. They tried to pry Camila away because she looked dead and Loki shot them a warning glare.
Once he was inside the ship, he was face to face with the people that call themselves the Guardians of the Galaxy.
One of them was able to awake Camila and Drax the one that saved them felt bad for trying to remove her. As always Camila was the friendly one while Loki shrank back with his soup and listened to her converse with these new people.
“The entire time I knew Thanos, he only had one goal. To bring balance to the universe by wiping out half of all life. He used to kill people planet by planet. Massacre by massacre.” Gamora said while Camila listened quietly. “If he gets all six infinity stones, he could do it with a snap of his fingers.”
“You seem to know a lot about Thanos” Camila whispered her voice still hoarse from the screaming.
The name Thanos brought Loki back into reality.
“Gamora is the daughter of Thanos,” Drax told Camila who looked just as pissed as Loki did.
Loki finally stood up. “Your father killed my brother!” Loki yelled at Gamora.
Peter Quill got between them defending Gamora. “He’s her stepfather and she hates him just as much as you do.”
Loki seethed. “DID THANOS TORTURE YOU UNTIL YOU COULD NO LONGER STAND!? DID THANOS PUT YOU IN A ROOM HOTTER THAN HEL HERSELF BECAUSE HE KNEW OF YOUR HORRIBLE HERITAGE!?” He screamed at the Midgardian.
“No,” Gamora told him. “But he did make me fight my sister day by day. She has barely any living body parts left.”
“I have some grudges against her too.” Loki snarled he looked like he was ready to kill them all right there.
“My love, you need to rest.” Camila tried reasoning with him. “Do you guys have any spare sleeping quarters?” She asked the guardians.
Loki looked disgusted. He didn’t want to sleep after what just happened. He couldn’t imagine the nightmares that would accompany him.
Eventually, Camila convinced him, and she stayed with the Guardians. Learning as much about Thanos that she could.
By the time Loki came down, they were talking about Nidavellir and forging a new weapon.
“You can’t be serious Camila.” Rocket said. “I thought that place was a myth.”
“Oh, dear rabbit I can assure you it's not.” Camila giggled. “It’s as real as you and me.”
“Wait a minute rabbit!?” Rocket protested but Camila didn’t hear him.
She had finally noticed her husband standing there in the shadows. “Hello, my love.”
He smiled sadly at her. “You know Nidavellir hasn’t been visited in years. We don’t even know if the dwarfs still live there.”
“Loki think about it! We got to Nidavellir. New hammer or scepter and we can stop Thanos!” Camila said a little too enthusiastic.
“My darling. Nothing will ever be better than Mjolnir.” Loki stopped and Camila wiped his lone tear away. “What could be better?”
“You’ll figure out a way.” Camila smiled, her blue eyes sparkling. “You’re Loki Odinsion. I know you’ll figure something out.”
“That’s right, I am Loki of Asgard!” he smirked, “Mortal take us to Nidavellir!” Loki told Peter Quill.
“What?” Peter looked dumbfounded.
“Ok then, Rabbit!” Loki exclaimed. “You seemed excited when talking to my wife about this topic so take us to Nidavellir!”
“You don’t have to tell me twice!” Rocket jumped from his place on the table and motioned for the tree to follow. “C’mon Groot.”
Camila and Loki shrugged and smiled at each other. Following the rodent into a pod. On the way, Loki picked up a backpack and filled it with food.
Peter noticed and protested immediately. “Hey, that’s my backpack.”
“Not anymore.” Loki murmured. “Now be quiet.”
“Go sit down.” Rocket told him.
“Hey, this is my ship! I don’t approve of this.” Rocket completely ignored him and started up the pod and motioned for Loki and Camila to climb aboard.
“Goodbye to you morons.” Rocket laughed
Loki laughed liking the title. “I bid you farewell and good luck morons.”
Camila smiled and waved to them while the pod fell into the rubble left from the Asgardian ship and sped away.
