[ Their story. An interesting take, and a perspective Thanos would not readily dismiss. This was a universe if not of their own making, then of their complete control. Thanos pondered if the 'adopted' were even 'real', if such a distinction could be made. Or if they were just sapient recreations of things the Fae had seen through their magical observance of other universes. Was he different than he was in his original universe? How would he know the difference, if his memories were altered to fit his new existence? Was there an original existence at all, if beings and memories could be artificially created as if one were mixing chemicals in a petri dish? The thought was maddening if he continued to pursue it. ]

Similar to yourself? So you, too, have the ability to pluck creatures from alternate universes, and strip them of their power to leave?

[ The arrogance of this Loki was astounding, or else the actual power that this Loki used to have was. Thanos was used to Loki having an ego substantially larger than his ability to deliver, so Thanos assumed the former. ]
