Loki continued to pick at his food pushing more of it around his plate than actually eating it. He looked up when his mother returned recognizing the letter in her hand and his stomach tightened in apprehension. Still she seemed as determined to see him eat something and he forced down a few bites. He listened to her when she explained the letters purpose to tony. Watching his mother look to him and Tony he frowned. *Read.* he tried to assure her.
He didn't touch his food at that point only staring at his lap as his mother read his letter. His hands clasped together to hide their shaking as it was read.
Tony,
There is so much that I wish to tell you, and yet I am not sure how. I do not feel this letter is the best thing but I can not explain it to you with my own words now. I must rely on whomever is reading this to translate what I am saying to you. I do not even know if I will be aware of things when this is read to you and I fear that greatly. The things I wish to tell you now are important and I hope that you know that I understand that this letter will not excuse my actions in anyway. I merely hope that it will bring you some understanding for why I have done what I did. I also hope that this will allow you some help in the future.
The first thing I wish to tell you, I do not wish my children around for. So please if Fenrir is there send him away until this part of the letter has past. I fear it will hurt him and the others greatly to know. If he is gone now, the reason why is because I do not wish to taint the image of his father in his mind. No one has ever wanted me when I have come to bear children, not even Angroboda. As soon as I found out and had told him, he demanded I rid myself of them. That is something I could never do and he left me. He left me the whole time I was carrying his children and it was only after I had brought them into the world that he had returned. I was dying when he did, bleeding and exhausted with no magic remaining. I used it all to bring my children into the world. He prevented my death and stayed. I knew however it was not because he loved me or the children. He stayed because of obligation, because the children were his and that was what he was supposed to do. The children grew on him of course, and even though I still loved him. Things were not the same, I knew then that he had not loved me, I was convenient. It is because no one has ever wanted me and the children that I ran Tony. I ran not because I was scared that you would not want them, but because I was scared that you did not want me. After our fight all I could see was my whole past playing out in the same way, that you would only stick with me because of obligation. I know now that I was wrong, so wrong. I am more sorry for it than I have ever been in my life. I have ruined so much because of my actions.
The second thing I need to tell you is that Thanos is intent on killing my mind, myself. If he does that I will be no more than a puppet to him. There are many ways he can do this I fear. If he destroys any of the bonds I share, I fear that will cause it. Especially if it is the bond to you or our children. The second is to tear apart my mind and destroy what could be called my core memories. The memories that are my happiest and make who I am. I have tried to prevent this by giving them to you. I did that long before I left, when Thanos first started attacking my mind again. I stored them in your arc reactor Tony, so please if thanos is attacking my mind do not enter it. If he can get to you he can get to them and destroy myself. The third way, is by forcing me to attack one of you. I know this is the easiest way he can destroy me. Do you remember Tony when I was trying to teach Fenrir to change shape from his wolf form to a human form. It would have been much easier to do that had I taken a wolf form, I can. The problem is that that form is cursed. I took it when Vali and Narfi were killed to try and converse with Vali. The magic that he was consumed by took that form from me. If I take a wolf form, it will be violent and I will not remember myself. It was only my magic that allowed me to come back and I have none now. If I am forced into that form you must cage me or kill me.
The last thing I need to tell you is the one that hurts me the most because even though I have returned to you. I am losing you still, our bond is breaking or fading I am not sure which. It has been happening since I left and I know that it is my fault for keeping the lock on our bond. I thought when I returned it would stop but it only seems to have accelerated. I do not know how to fix it and I have no wish to force you back into something if you do not wish it. Or I do not wish to press you into fixing things faster if that is what you wish. I only felt that you had the right to know, I am tired of keeping secrets Tony and even though there is much more that I would tell you I believe that this is enough for now. The last thing I wish you to know is that I do still love you and I wish that I had not done what I had.

Tony remained perfectly still and silent as Frigga read. He did his best not to react to strongly, listening and not jumping to conclusions. However he did instinctively reach for his reactor and tense when it was mentioned. It wasn’t so much about Loki using it, but he was extremely protective of the device. It was remarkably fragile after all, and even he admitted that it was a miracle that it worked as well as it did. He still remained silent though. Slouching back against the headboard when Frigga finished the letter, he bit his lip. There was so much revealed. He knew there was more. There always was, but he could barely handle this small portion. He could understand why Loki left, or at least he could understand it a little better. His own doubts and worries made it hard to fully believe. The hiding memories bit, he understood in theory, but he’d have to get Loki speaking English to explain exactly what he’d done with his reactor. He felt a little guilty at the knowledge that Loki couldn’t turn into a wolf, considering how he’d annoyed him about it for a time. But the idea of their bond fading bothered him. They were having problems, sure, but he didn’t want to lose Loki, not completely. After a moment, he let out a slow breath. “That’s a lot.” He said slowly. “I need to piece through that.” He added. But after he said that and glanced to Loki and slowly offered his hand to hold, showing that he wasn’t angry. It was the first truly willing touch he’d offered just for contact since Loki came back.
