Who in God's name had left this mess on his doorstep?
Victor von Doom had seen his share of the dead and nearly-dead, but they did not usually turn up of their own accord; typically, he knew exactly where they came from.

A very faint pulse. And very faint breath.
What rang more alarm bells than anything in Victor's head was this: who was even capable of doing something like this to a god?
And why weren't Loki's wounds healing?

Awesome!
I love Doom's clinical approach to everything and the reaction it causes, only to have irritating feelings and wishes for things he doesn't want to admit aloud.

Oh, wow, you write fast.
A nice developement. It's great that he didn't force the issue, for various reasons. And the slower build-up is nice too.
*sets up camp*
