Perhaps that was what made them such a good team, such good partners, in life and love. They had much in common, yes, but they also could see so much good in the other, and were able to lift each other up, inspire and show them just how good they were. It could only lead to good, at least that’s what Loki thought. It was possible that Natasha living a shorter life changed that balance, but Loki didn’t think so. She was the way she was because of others in her life. Loki had done the things he’d done because he’d been a spoiled brat. Things had not been made better by his parents’ lies, but that didn’t mean he had to act as he had.
Or at least that was how it seemed until he’d found out about Kang’s plan for him. If anyone were truly to blame, it was him. Even if most of his variants had acted much worse, Loki knew that if he’d tried to be better sooner, he just would’ve been found by the TVA much earlier.
“I know. I just hate that someone that should care for you instead caused you such strife.” There, of course, was also the part where Loki has some daddy issues still, but he didn’t think of it like that at the moment. “You are a wonderful person, strong and dedicated. Not just anyone would be able to turn themselves around as you did, even if it did take some help. We all need help sometimes. But to think anyone treated you like that and put you in such a place. It fills me with anger.”
Loki quieted as Natasha spoke of Clint. Guilt filled him as he remembered so clearly how he had used him for his own misdeeds. Even if much of that had been due to the staff and Thanos, Loki knew he’d played his own part there. He’d hardly fought when the Other had found him after his fall from the Bifrost. A true hero would have.
“I am truly sorry for what I did to your friend. I do hope you know that. I hope it does not affect him attending our wedding.” And not just because he wanted everyone who loved Natasha to come celebrate with her, but because he wished to apologize to the man face to face.
Loki held her closer as she asked of Mobius. He did miss his friend dearly. “His name is Mobius and he is the last person you might expect I would be friends with. He appears rather boring, stiff and stuck in his ways, but there is so much more to him. I hope you will be able to meet him soon. I would love to have him stand by my side during our more public ceremony.” Loki would tell her anything and everything about his friend that night. How he was the first person to really believe him and believe in him. In some ways, he had been like a real father to him, but mostly Loki just considered him the best friend anyone could have.
