Is that what you got told? Since when the hell do you think someone like Loki does anything to help? [In spite of anything Thor had to say on the subject. Thor has never been the most objective about his brother. (Clint is also not the most objective about Loki, but that's obviously neither here nor there.)]

Yeah. He's dead. Far as I know, for real this time instead of just playing pretend. But who the hell ever knows with him.
