AN/ Before you even start reading, I should warn you that I am not very good at updating regularly but I will try my best. By the way, to do with the title, there is an AMAZING Loki vid to that song and I definitely recommend watching it, it always makes me think of Loki now :) Hope you like the story!
Chapter 1:
The golden walls of the bifrost gleamed in the light of the day. It was as if it had always stood here, whole and complete. The all-father must have called upon the enchantors to construct a new one after the previous was destroyed. Loki gritted his teeth and looked up to Odin, staring him down, showing him that remorse was not in his nature, that he would not apologise for his acts.
"You have caused this realm great grief, Loki, and that must not go unpunished."
The all-father's voice was calm, like the sea before the storm hits and you fall into the abyss of the deep blue, fading into obscurity.
"This will not work, Odin." He spat out his name, determined not to crumble under his imposing demeanor as so many others had. "You can't send me off to Midgard and expect I will go soft as Thor did. I refuse to."
"You will pay for your crimes and Midgard is the perfect place to live out the consequences." Odin pulled himself up to his full height, looming over Loki. "You are unworthy." He said, mirroring his words to Thor said so long ago. Instead of ripping at his armor as he did when he banished Thor, the all-father simply lifted his staff and gave it a slight twist. Loki felt like part of himself was being hauled out of him, he tensed his legs so he would not be pulled forward by the sensation, refusing to show the pain he felt internally. The all-father raised his hand and said, raising his voice so it echoed around the dome "I CAST YOU OUT!" A jolt was sent through Loki and his feet were ripped from the ground as he was thrust backwards, out into the void of dark space he knew all too well. Pain rippled through his body in waves as he flew through the black until he finally landed with a thud. He remained crumpled on the floor, trying to will himself to push through the pain, to not be weak and exposed. He had felt like that once and he did not intend to repeat the experience. He put all the power that he had left into moving but his body just screamed back at him and refused to oblige with his intentions.
"Look!" Thor exclaimed excitedly "Someone has requested my friendship!" His enormous hand clasped the mouse as Jane's, looking like a child's in comparison, gently guided it to click on the friend icon. They both clicked down and Thor's face lit up once again and the message appeared on the screen. "It is the man of iron!"
Jane helped him click down on the accept button and rested her head on his shoulder, smiling in amusement at Thor's joy. Darcy looked over from the couch, smiling slightly and rolling her eyes at the lovebirds.
"You know this isn't fair." She said to Jane, who looked over to her with a puzzled expression "How come you got a boyfriend falling from the sky while I'm sitting here dateless." Darcy laughed to ensure to Jane that she was joking and that her resentment was only a facade. Just as Jane started to laugh along with her, a shrill beeping rang through the air. Darcy looked over to see a monitor with a big red message sprawled across it, flashing with urgency.
"But that's-" Jane started as she made her way over to the screen, her eyebrows scrunched in confusion. When Jane made it halfway towards the it, Darcy remembered what that alert was for and she scrambled off the couch to study the screen. Jane leaned over beside her as her brow furrowed further. "That can't be right" she said, pressing on various keys and making more windows pop up on the monitor. Thor, who had been sitting over with Jane's computer, confused as to what the commotion was all about asked "What does the sound mean, Lady Jane?" Jane slowly turned to him, her face going neutral as reality set in. "It means another Asgardian has fallen to Earth as you did."
Thor's face took on an expression of understanding and Jane returned to him to question him on the matter. Darcy's eyes remained transfixed on the screen. How creepy was that? She was just talking about people falling out of the sky and someone did. Someone actually did. She came out of her daze to see Thor standing up and Jane following him as they headed towards the door. "Wait. What did I miss?" Darcy asked, getting up herself, deciding she would be going with them, wherever they were going. "It's Thor's brother." Jane said, frowning up at Thor who didn't seem to notice, his own face downturned. Darcy's mind jolted to a holt "You mean...the guy who tried to enslave us?"
Thor winced slightly at her remark and nodded. "The All-father claimed he was going to punish Loki for his crimes as he did me but I never thought he would follow through, especially given what happened last time Loki was here."
"Regardless, we have to go pick him up as Thor agreed to watch over him while he was here." Jane tried to sound scornful but scorn just didn't suit her nature. Darcy looked over to him with a face that said Really, dude? Really? but continued to walk out the door with the two of them, keen to be part of the action and not left out as she usually was. So much for a boyfriend falling out of the sky she thought as she swung the car door open and took her seat behind Jane.
AN/ I know it is short but my chapters are never really that long. I would really appreciate constructive criticism as I am new to writing a character like Loki, Darcy on the other hand is my spirit animal :D
