WHAT IF: Loki Survived Infinity War

“I-“ Loki stared down at the wound—the silver knife hilt jutting from his stomach at a sickeningly absurd angle—and up at the Titan. His face was ghostly pale and his eyes looked like twin bruises sunken into bloody whites. A bit of red dribbled from his lips, blood, it was blood, and he sank against the ash-covered wall of the ship. “I…”
He dropped to the ground, his knees collapsing as he fell onto the floor, and Thor was yelling through his restraints, and Loki had one pale hand outstretched toward him before he became still.
The ship was silent, wide-eyed remnants of Asgardians staring at the crumpled, pale body of their Once-Prince, as one hand remained curled around the knife weakly and the other reaching out toward his brother.
