Too late for \u2018should have\u2019s. Summer hurled herself forward, desperately grasping for skin contact. \u201cGive me your hands!\u201d she hissed, dragging and dragging at the emotions she\u2019d been trying to shut out only the moment before. Every shield she\u2019d ever constructed would have to pale in comparison to this one, so she fed the fire inside with everything she could reach \u2014 and flung it around both of them.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou shall \/not\/ have him again,\u201d she growled, eyes wide and unseeing.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Loki\u2019s eyes rolled wildly as he tensed all over. \u00a0He felt heat\u2014unbearable heat\u2014spread over and around him. \u00a0It burned like a wild fever killing off his infection. \u00a0He felt the connection to Thanos weakening, but not before he heard the words grate through his mind:<\/p>\n

I will be back for both of you\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

He snarled and snapped back into\u00a0consciousness, gripping onto Summer like a madman. \u00a0He struggled to catch his breath. \u00a0\u201dWhat must I do?\u201d he managed finally.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cMother of unholy things!\u201d Summer swore. \u201cGods of all th\u2014\u201d The\u00a0paroxysm seized her unawares, jerking her spine into a bowed arc and clamping her teeth together on the end of the phrase. One hand, clawed with tension, reached out, flailing at nothing. Her breath hissed out between her teeth, choking on a cry.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Loki\u2019s gaze turned desperate as he clutched at her. \u00a0\u201dSummer!\u201d he demanded, frenzied. \u00a0\u201dSummer, come back to me!\u201d \u00a0If he panicked, that would be worse, wouldn\u2019t it? She would feel it\u2026<\/p>\n

He forced himself to calm down and held her closer. \u00a0\u201dI\u2019m so sorry\u2026\u201d he muttered, beginning to feel the familiar pangs of self-loathing.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“D-don’t,” she managed, once the seizure had run its course. “C-can feel that too. Ah god it \/hurts\/!” Biting her lip, she strained against a resurgence, fists clenched. “‘s not your fault, L-loki. I called it … t-to me. Should have ex—expected this.” Every breath shuddered in and out, shaped by force of will.<\/p>\n

Finally, finally, the spasms ran their course, and she sagged against him, limp and aching. “I’m sorry you had to see that,” she whispered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
