It had been one year. One year since he had gained his powers. One year since Loki had wreaked havoc on his life. One week since he had received the script for Thor 2.

At first Tom had been reluctant to read it. Now he knew that these events were real in an alternate universe he was slightly worried about what he would find. He wasn't the only one. All of the 'avengers' had been reluctant when receiving new scripts. Robert had been pleased with his after reading it, his counterpart seemed to be living quite well still. Chris Evans was also pleased with Captain America but was not allowed to reveal any details yet as it was being produced after Thor. Tom and Chris however were nervous. Chris was less wary than Tom, knowing his counterpart had grown up and was well on the way to Asgard. In fact he had read the script but when Tom had asked about it he had refused to tell him what happened. Better he find out for himself he had said. That was not an encouraging sign.

The writers and producers had no idea what was going on. Or his agent, who kept phoning Tom to ask if he had read the script yet. After what seemed like the 20th call in seven days he finally decided to read the script. Bad move.

He started of unsure then pleased that his counterpart did have that heart he had hoped for. Even in the situations of last year. Even when he betrayed Thor he hadn't really! He was about to turn the page when he noticed a scrawled note at the bottom, left by Chris? I'm so sorry mate, be brave.

With a growing fear Tom turned the page to find that Loki had engaged the monster attacking Thor in combat and what he read next made the tea he held crash to the floor. He didn't even notice as shards of the mug cut into his legs. This had to be wrong, a trick, something! He raced through the rest of the script but could not find any mention of him anywhere. Not even in the clip after the film, it just depicted Thor rising to the throne of Asgard alongside his father.

Loki was dead.
