There was an unrest in him as he waited for Scarlet to arrive at the discussed meeting point. There was a rage which was wrapped up and strangled. He could not unleash it but, oh, he wanted to. There were moments when he wished he had not locked away the stones and instead hit Higgs with their full potential. See, how long he could have stood the burn of the universe's power, of time's crippling effect, and the ensnarement of space. But Thanos had taught him a valuable lesson. The stones could never land in the wrong hands. But the knowledge of how to unlock them was slowly returning to him. It would not take much longer for him to regain the first one.
Their absence, however, enabled him to focus his attention elsewhere. For years now, he had devoted a significant amount of time to their mastery. They were hard to master and simple mistakes could lead to devastating consequences. Progress was not always as quick as he liked. What he learned now was also painless. Nothing compared to the ripples the universe caused inside of him when he tried to harness its full power. So, now, he was waiting to learn another trick. One that came with his ghost form. His rage bubbled in excitement. Loki did not care if Higgs had a justified reason for what he was doing. The man needed to go. The endless compassion he saw in others was naive. Life was cruel. One had to accept that. Some fights could not be avoided. Now, he was preparing for another.
