   Summary

   "If you fail... if the Tesseract is kept from us... there will be no realm, no barren moon, no crevice where he cannot find you. You think you know pain? He will make you long for something as sweet as pain."

   Let's just say Thanos makes good on that promise when he captures Loki after tracking him down after the destruction of Asgard. However, unlike in IW, Loki doesn't have the Tesseract with him, so the events of IW don't happen.
   Instead of killing him, the Mad Titan decides that the god might still be useful for his future plans, but he wants to make sure that he learns his lesson this time...

   The story has multiple endings. ["good", bad, and wò̸͉̆rş̵̛̗̹̣̼͎̘̆e̵̜̺̯̪̞̪͙͑͐]

   [uh. I feel like i gotta warn y'all... this shit gets heavy and very dark in some of the endings. VERY graphic descriptions of torture, btw. you've been warned!]
