"Oh Hel," is what he says to himself as he runs. Not much later, there's a number of text messages sent out. He's become good at typing and running.

He was out of time.

TO: Kate, Billy, Scott, Homura
FROM: Loki

It may be for the best if you don't let him know that you're affiliated with me. He may not like it, and he doesn't take well to things he doesn't like.

TO: Aradia
FROM: Loki

You spoke briefly of your powers that control the stream of Time. Tell me of them. In summary. A very concise summary.

[Loki stays seated, but regards his other with a raised eyebrow.]

I have changed much.

[His words are strangely soft. He is speaking to himself, not to another. He is the only person he can be true with. Loki can only trust Loki, after all.]

Sorrow is more than pain. It is despair and disappointment and a loneliness that runs deeper than any physical weapon can ever pierce. As Loki is would seem we are both fated to see the true depths of sorrow. It is a shame it had to come so soon for you.

No, your motivations are the same. They'll always be the same, and that's what makes you predictable. It's sad, and moreso you'll repeat it again and again. More intensely each time until you can no longer see anything but that unrelenting bitterness. It's not despair, as I've felt despair, and I will not allow it to poison me.

[he straightens to look at him.]

You are no longer the God of Mischief you once were.

[Loki frowns at the other]

You assume much of me, for knowing so little. How do you presume to know so much of myself when you seem so intent on separating us into separate beings? It is all assumptions no doubt based on what you have heard of me from these Avengers, and not even Thor himself.

I might have miscalculated along the way, but I am and always will be the God of Mischief and Chaos, as will you. You would do well to remember that.

[he takes a few steps closer, but he's still standing his ground. there's an odd innocence to him. someone who hasn't been tainted with the woes of a long life. though the Loki who he was had been much more calculating and malicious than this one.]

Miscalculations don't count in chaos, nor do calculations.

What do you plan on doing here? You're trapped, too.

They do in war. I had goals to achieve...

[He chuckles, still regarding the other.]

Given that I have been here only a matter of hours? I do not quite know yet. As everyone seems to think I will go mad and try to destroy the place I might just lay low for a while. Relax, perhaps earn back that title you seem to think I lost.

[His lips quirk up a bit at the other. He remains sitting, reclining now, actually. He is completely relaxed.]

It's part of the reputation. The mad part, that is. It was part of your doing, wasn't it? When you summoned that monster and destroyed Asgard. I suppose their fears are not exactly misplaced.

[Okay, that got a confused look]

I never summoned a monster to destroy Asgard.

[and his expression changes.]

Then it seems that I must be mistaken.

Who told you I summoned a beast to destroy Asgard? I know the Avengers hate me, and for good cause, but it not in their style to spread such large lies.

It seems something that I've come across in my studies quite often. You being evil and destroying Asgard or Midgard, or this and that for some reason.

My campaign against Midgard was the first against a realm that was not sanctioned by the All-Father and accompanied by an army of Aesir. There is not much to be confused about. And where are you studying this?

[there it was.]

An appropriate question. If it's a past or a future, there was madness there. Calculating, deliberate madness. It made you predictable in all of your calculations. As far as what had driven you there, I would like to know myself.

I would like to know where you are getting this information.

You would trust me to tell you the truth?

I would trust myself to be able to know if you were lying.

I lie an awful lot.

[he manages, quite cooly, despite his situation. the ball in his stomach had unwound, and he felt a new confidence.]

That is something we have in common. You know as well as I do that no one can lie to Loki, not even himself.

[and he keeps his gaze steady. he doesn't drop or flinch.]

Then you should know that I speak the truth when I say that if you do anything to harm this place, that I will stop you.

Of course. But a little mischief might be in order. I hardly think you would protest to that.

I'm well aware of the differences.

Good. You never did tell me where you received your information about me.

Perhaps another time! I do have a date!

[he makes a small motion with his hands, smiling. the same smile he used on Volstagg that seemed to work later in his career.]

I was heading there when you found me.

[and he's taking a few steps backward.]

Oh really?

[He smiled at that.]

Who with?

Another story for another time. They say in Midgard that it's bad luck to jinx a date. Perhaps you didn't know that, but it's true!

[and he turns swiftly on his toes and heads off, giving a faint wave to the camera to cut off the stream.]

[He laughs]

Well, I wish you the best of luck on this date.
