Hey there Avengers fans! Well this is my first Loki love story _ so please be nice! I would appreciate constructive criticism to add to what my beta corrects when she reads the chapters. R&R! And don't be afraid to pm me! I don't bite...sometimes ;)
Being a vampire was a lonely existence if you didn't have anyone to share it with. The same goes with all types of immortality, if you didn't have a reason to live or some type of goal, you were doomed for loneliness. This is why Katherine came to earth. Not just for being relieved of boredom, she came in hopes of finding an adventure that would have twists and turns and be completely unexpected. She found it was rather easy to blend in with the mortals. They were a simple and blind race, though there was some potential in them.
She also learned about the Avengers initiative and decided to see who these people were and why they were known as "Earth's mightiest hero's" The first one on her list to meet was the famous Tony Stark. She had sneaked into one of his parties and chatted with him for about two minutes. It was in those two minutes she found that he was self entered, arrogant and didn't like to share with others. He even tried to flirt with Katherine much her displeasure. Also at the party was , the hulk, she found he was a quiet and timid looking man who would rather be working in the lab than actually talking with people. He seemed to warm up to Katherine though and had a polite conversation with her until security realized she wasn't invited and started to come after her and nearly being caught in the process.
She had yet to meet the other Avengers and tried to find the perfect timing to see them. Thor, however, was a different matter entirely. Katherine knew Thor very well (because honestly, what immortals DIDN'T know each other) she saw him as a brother that you would love at times then hate their existence a few minutes later for something they said. When she had visited Asgard he would tell her all about his adventures on Midgard, and lets not forget about his passion for the Midgard beverage, coffee.
She couldn't see what the big deal was, she had tried it as he suggested and nearly spit it out because of the taste. She hated coffee and most certainly wouldn't like 'another'. Katherine was finding it rather difficult to find someplace to stay on Midgard, since apparently you needed a job and money to purchase living quarters. She sighed to her self as she looked at ads for jobs in the paper. "What have I gotten myself into?" She mumbled.
Though she hated the idea of being overwhelmed by a crowd of teenagers and lecherous men in a single area, Katherine knew she had to find a job soon so she could find a place to rest. She took a deep breath and entered the mall and praying for patience she knew she had little of. She decided to start with the food court even though she would of liked to start at the stores, those prissy, stuck up woman where always watching her every move.
They had acted as if Katherine were some kind of thief, and when she asked about job openings they had took one look at her casual outfit choice and said they weren't hiring. "I can't believe those two-faced, 'I'm to rich to be touched by your kind' stupid human woman" she mumbled angrily to herself. If that's how they were going to be, them she didn't need to surround herself with those lowly humans. She took a look around as she walked and couldn't believe the amount of skin some of these woman were showing.
"It's like they are trying to drive themselves to an early grave" she shook her head in disbelieve. Sure Katherine was thin herself, but not to the point where you could nearly see her bones. She had a decent weight on her and was curvy, though she wasn't comfortable with exposing too much skin. On her trips to Asgard, Sif had to force her into an appropriate woman's swimwear and toss her outside afterward. She got lustful stares from Thor's male friends while she was trying to find some form of coverage.
She was already embarrassed and Thor seemed to think that teasing her about it would make her feel better by saying "My my lady Katherine, you should wear these types of things more often, maybe then you will finally get a mate!" It was so silent after he said that, that you were able to hear the solid punch Katherine had delivered to his face that caused him to fall over. When it was dinner time, Frigga and Odin were frowning at the reason why their son earned the black eye he had gotten.
Loki was hiding his smirk, delighted of the fact that his dimwitted, muscular brother was knocked down by a woman and had gotten a black eye in the process. He was trying his best to keep from laughing in front of Thor, but Katherine knew the God of Mischief went to bed that night laughing until his sides hurt. Katherine smiled at the memory. She missed the giant oaf, but she didn't want to meet him again without having a decent place for him to visit.
She knew Thor wouldn't care where she stayed and how her house looked like, but she wanted to be able to say she got it with her own hard work and determination. With that in mind, she continued in her search for a job.
