Loki raged through the night, unleashing his sorrow with every smash, kick, and yell. His usually pristine black hair hung wild and messy, and his grand Asgardian robes lay discarded. Clad only in a rumpled, long-sleeved shirt and pants, he left a trail of destruction in his wake, shattering furniture and scattering glass across the room.
"Loki," Evelyn finally intervened, her voice firm, "enough. Stop harming yourself. She wouldn't want this for you."
Loki leant against the wall and slid down it, all while crying. He didn't want anyone to see him in that state so he put up an illusion of the two of them reading. Evelyn walked over to him and sat down beside him.
Loki leaned his head on Evelyn's shoulder and started sobbing. Seeing Loki so heartbroken was physically breaking Evelyn's heart, literally leaning on her for support. She wrapped her arms around him and hugged him as he cried. The crying lasted for at least an hour until they heard someone approaching. Loki sat up and wiped away his tears as Thor approached the cell.
Loki made his hologram walk up to the screen. "Thor, after all this time and now you come to visit me," he sneered. "Why? Have you come to gloat? To mock?"
"Loki, enough. No more illusions." Thor knew his brother too well. The real Loki looked at Evelyn, and she nodded.
Loki stopped the hologram, revealing the current appearance of the room. It was a cluttered cell with scattered items strewn about. Loki, looking dishevelled himself, was seated next to Evelyn.
"Now you see me, brother," Loki said. Thor walked up to the other side of the cell to be closer to them. "Did she suffer?"
"I did not come here to share in our grief. Instead, I offer you the chance of a far richer sacrament," Thor looked at the two of them.
"Go on," Loki said.
"I know you seek vengeance as much as I do. You help me escape Asgard, and I will grant it to you, vengeance. And afterwards, this cell," Thor said.
Loki chuckled. "You must be truly desperate to come to me for help. What makes you think you can trust me?"
"I don't. Mother did. You should know that when we fought each other in the past, I did so with a glimmer of hope that my brother was still in there somewhere. That hope no longer exists to protect you. You betray me, and I will kill you," Thor threatened.
Loki grinned at Evelyn, then to Thor. "When do we start?"
