You don't know what possessed you to do it. But here you were, sneaking up behind Thanos, who is distracted by Loki, who is giving him a fake allegiance that was said to be "undying," and how Thanos could use a guide for Earth. Midgard. You could see Thor, not too far away, held captive in some form of metal or mechanical apparatus, part of the wreckage of the Asgardian ship. You'd get him out as soon as you could.
There was a moment of pause in Loki's part as he finished his sentence. But then, in a last-minute attempt, he swooped a dagger up, in an attempt to kill Thanos.
However, Thanos saw it coming, and used the newly gained stone to stop his attack, holding Loki's armed hand in midair, unable to move.
""Undying...?" Thanos said lowly.
Thanos took his free hand and grabbed Loki's arm in the gigantic thing, letting go of the magic the stone held, "You should choose your words more carefully," he stated, and disarmed Loki like hitting a fly with a swatter.
You heard Loki gasp as his dagger was thrown from his hand. You were inching closer, just like Thanos pulled Loki closer, and grabbed his throat with the hand that wore the gauntlet. Loki struggled as much as he could, but Thanos' grip was just too tight. His eyes were beginning to bulge and become bloodshot. You could just hear him choke out something.
"You. . ." Loki struggled. "Will never be. . . a God. . ."
Thanos only smirked. He was about to snap Loki's neck like a twig, you just knew it. So, you took your shot.
