MARVEL madness - Loki and Tom

2 - falling

Loki had been falling for some time now, and to say the least, it was very boring. When he finally landed, it was in front of a mirror.

As he looked at his pathetic self, he noticed the large cut across his nose, as well as the sickly bags beneath his eyes. Norns. No wonder thor had been treating him like a fragile stick. He certainly looked like one, even with the armor on.

He winced as he stood up, and noticed something. He felt weak. Almost mortal weak. Perhaps a nice slumber was due after all this was over...

He fell again, this time landing on a couple of boxes.
"Oh... Norns..." he said as he struggled to get out of this mortal equipment.

1 hour and 10 minutes earlier...

Chris sat there a little dazed, no one knew exactly what had just happened. "Uh... that wasn't in the script."

Chris began to panic a bit. Tom meant a lot to him, like the brother he never had. Marvel had brought them close. "Cut the camera!" He could faintly hear joe say. Some of the camera crew went over to investigate, but it was like Tom had never been there at all. After about 30 minutes of panicked searching around the set, they branched out, look around every nook and cranny to find Tom, hoping he was here somewhere.

—————
Present day...

"Tom! There you are! Don't pull any more pranks like that, you gave us all quite the scare! What are you doing?" Said a man in a black shirt.

"I beg your pardon?"

"Guys I found him. He's a bit beat up though. And confused." The man said into a little black box.

Loki was indeed confused. Who the hel was Tom? Why did they look similar enough for this man to confuse the two? Unless...

A man of similar stature to Thor, but with an eyepatch like odin and a short sloppily done haircut, blood running down the side of his face, at least it seemed like it, but he clearly wasn't in pain.

"Tom! You're alright! I thought I lost you! But.. what's with the outfit change?" The strange Thor said.

The puzzle pieces clicked into place.

"Oh... it's all coming together now..."

"What do you mean Tom?"

"So the other me from the 'future' is truly from here... I knew I couldn't possibly receive redemption!" Loki said, huffing from past exertion.

"Tom are you alri-"

"MY NAME ISN'T TOM! Norns would you cut that out!" He yelled, finally snapping under the tension of the room.

"Listen, puny mortal, who strangely resembles my brother, MY name is Loki, prince of asgard, and I do NOT have time for this right now. I needed to escape Thanos and the Avengers, and using the tesseract to get to wherever here is seemed like the best idea at the time."

After Loki's long rant, the Thor look alike just blinked at him as Loki caught his breath.

"To-er, ah... Loki, mind if I check something?"

Loki narrowed his eyes but let the Thor look alike come closer.

Only for the Thor look alike to yank on his hair.

"OH NORNS!" Even for a god, getting your hair pulled on is never a fun subject.

"Yep. You are not Tom. If I didn't know better I'd say you... swapped... places..." the Thor look alike mumbled something before looking back up at Loki.

"Tell me the last thing you remember."

"Why should I? If anything I should throw you into a wall right now."

"Just do it."

Loki huffed, but spoke. "I recall quickly grabbing the tesseract from 'future' me, he had really long hair and a blue outfit, which I would NEVER wear because every one knows I like green—"

"Wait! Blue?"

"Yes? What about it?"

"That was Tom! He's not really from the future, I mean, technically he is but you know, he's not from the same universe—"

"Actually I did not know that. He informed us of a couple scenarios from the future, claiming to be future me, but I had a feeling.. can't tell a falsity to the god of lies, now can you?"

"So wait. You're the real, really real Loki?"

"Yes what gave it away?" Loki said sarcastically.

"Can you prove it?"

"Didn't whatever you did to my hair prove anything?"

The Thor look alike did not justify my claim with an answer.

"Fine." Loki summoned a dagger in a green light.

The Thor look alike stared at the intricate design of the blade in wonder, which disturbed Loki greatly because the real Thor never even glanced at his blades. Much less did what the Thor look alike did next.

"Woah... truly magnificent. You know, Tom always had a thing for daggers."

"What is your name boy?"

"Chris. Chris Hemsworth. Although I have been called thor."

"Why on Midgard would they call you thor, when you clearly do not have the power of thunder and lightning, despite your... significant similarities to my brother."

"I'm an actor. So is Tom. My character, that I 'act' is thor, like he acts for Loki. Er, you."

"That explains it. So he technically was me, so he technically wasn't lying." Loki said, putting a hand to his chin.

"Ah... yes. Well... what to do... I'm not really sure what we are going to do now, I mean, we can't just let you go."

"And why not?"

"The fangirls."

"Fangirls?"

"People who like you... a little too much. Well, 'little' is an understatement."

"It doesn't sound that bad."

"It is that bad. It's very, very, very very bad."
