2. Go Read Do You Know Me

3. Go Down A Little And Read The Quick, Quick Summary/Recap

So, recap summary thing. This is very short and I am not going to explain or say why, just this happen.

Loki wanders into an apartment wounded, your apartment. You patch him up and he sticks around while you heal, you guys get pretty close during the near year spent together because you don't kick him out after he heals. One night you guys go out for dinner but Loki gets into a bar fight because of reasons that don't matter in the long run I guess. You, Name, decide if he can fight he can go.

So you kick him out.

Loki comes back later but you're gone, he teams up with Avengers to investigate Shifter(Shapeshifter, one animal form, one human basically) rumors/problems and keep an eye out for Name. Goes to island, get chased by Shifter, guess what, you are a Shifter. Guess what again! You are an All Face(anything shapeshifter, so more powerful shifter). Also, you have Bonded with Loki, and convince Fury to clear Loki who has been traveling as like a criminal working for the Government with a Big Brother Thunder God deal, to clear Loki and release him to you in return you help make peace talk between humans and Shifters before a potential war breaks out. Next you and Loki pretty much travel the globe, you buy a castle, settle down pretty much.

But everyone wants you to get involved with the peace insists, you can't say no to him and go. A human ticks off some Shifters and a brawl starts, buildings old and made of stone and starts collapsing, you save Loki but get crushed to death.


"Loki." Thor speaks softly, he rarely speaks softly. "The Vavatonem wish to speak with you." His eyes for once are not bold, but are downcast, unsure.

I bite my lip, considering him and those fools. "What do they need me for?" I refuse to be ashamed of how absolutely ragged my voice is.

It's perfectly appropriate considering everything.

Thor shifts awkwardly, trying to find the way to word it best. "You were present brother and they have questions." He shuffles his feet. "I trie-"

"Quiet Thor, I will speak with them." I get up, hair rustling all wild like. I straighten out a little and then stop with a sigh. Pointless. I can have every right to be bedraggled like this.

Thor just moves out of the way silently, he never was any good with words. I hesitate momentarily, I know not where the Vavatonem are. Then I sigh again, magic, I had almost forgotten I had it. I had no reason to use it, Name took care of me and everything around me. I suppose that was normal to her, to dote on her Mate.

A simple muttered spell and I know where the Vavatonem are and I can't stop this sigh either. A sigh of relief that I don't have to go there again.

I push the double doors open. I want to slam them open but… I am too tired, a few Shifters rise when I enter but sit again at my glare.

They respect Name, their precious All Face, and apparently I am entitled to that respect. Here I am respected just for being her Mate. Funny.

"Loki." The old crone acknowledges me, I like her, she cuts to the chase. No flowery words, no tricks. Little to no emotion as well. "Sit please."

I do. "What do you want Cheveyo? I see little point in this."

"There is, you were there in the last moments. You saw, you heard, please. Tell us what you saw."

"Others saw." I mutter.

She cracks a grin of shockingly white teeth. "Not nearly as much as you."

I swallow. "Name found me under the balcony," That stupid stone, that stupid ancient, stone, "She wanted me to leave, we argued. She was saying something but stopped," Her eyes had gone so wide and her mouth dropped open, shocked. Then she had looked at me and I just knew it was bad, "She wanted me to run and she threw me out into the open…" I could feel the bruises blooming from where she had grabbed me.

"Do you know why?" A few of the Vavatonem glare at her, Cheveyo cares little. "As an All Face she has adequate strength to remove you both simultaneously. "

One, an old man farther down the table shakes his head. "No, I saw Cheveyo….. The balcony was on them, she is fast but not that fast. She could not have saved them both as she is." He frowns thoughtfully, "When she has achieved large shifts she has mentioned she is not quite conscious, perhaps she was concerned that she would be unable to protect him then? She wasn't sure she could out run the collapse or stop it. She did the first thing she thought of."

Cheveyo nods, turning to me. I frown at the expectant look on her old face, "You know the rest." I don't try to keep the bitterness out of my voice. They can know exactly how I feel about this.

"We do know what happened," She shifts in her chair, I blink, she does not strike me as the kind to show unease so openly. She sighs, turning to the other Vavatonem. "We apologize for your lost , we have lost as well today, not as you have, but losses all the same. The Humans are eager to make treaties now." She offers, like it matters anymore. Name didn't care. I suppose though, it is good, something came out of this. "I do not think she realized how she tore through the crowds looking for you, the Humans are under the impression that we all have her strength."

"Cheveyo?" She raises a brow, curious. "Is that all?"

"Yes Loki, that is all." The rest of the Vavatonem murmur quietly, nodding.

That is all and I leave.

Thor attempts to stay with me, in my room but he can't stay still, he can't be quiet like me. And he can't stand to bother me right now either.

I understand, he was made to move, odd. So was Name, but she could stay still as well, like air. I curl up on the couch, the bed looks too big, and its white and empty.

Cold.

I blink rapidly, I don't want to cry anymore, it makes my head throb and my eyes red and burning. I don't like the hotness of the tears as they trace down my face, soaking the pillow. Odd, they're hot on my skin and cold on the coarse cloth. I shut my eyes, but they leak out anyways.

Name had cried once, ragged tears, and she had born them silently. I rub fiercely at the offending tears, Name was stupid. Crying was meant to be loud on someone's shoulder as they tell you everything will be alright.

I twisted awkwardly, my mouth pressing into my scapula. Crying is frustrating.

I glare angrily at the ceiling, it's too quiet in here and my thoughts are so loud.

I made her come here, I pushed, I argued, if I hadn't argued with her she'd be here right now. She'd be poking my side and playing with my hands as she tries to talk with me. She's not though, and I can't help but think of Neha.

She went insane when her Mate died, why can't I?

Name would be mad. That's why.

-(0)-

Maybe flowers are a Shifter thing because I have a miniature garden outside my door the next morning. I suppose no one wanted to wake me just to give me flowers because someone died. Name died.

I sigh, standing there for a bit, just staring blankly at the flowers all perfectly arranged in their little vases. A simple spell and the flowers float in the room, settling in silently.

Roses and Baby's Breath, green leafs and white flowers.

Thor comes by later, brings me out to eat.

He insists food will be good, but I don't really want to leave. I want to stay in my room and glare at the ceiling.

But omelets aren't bad, I rather like them, the sour cream and black olives. Name would never eat something like that, she doesn't like olives or sour cream. She would like the bacon. Thor silently eats his three plates.

"What Thor?"

He shifts. "Brother… The Shifters have.. Found her. They have been clearing the rubble. I thought you may.. Want to see?" He looks up at me with those blue sky eyes and that worried look. "I have not seen her… But I was told she.. Is not in one piece.."

"Oh." I blink rapidly, my teeth clench involuntarily. "I.. I don't know.." I hate how my voice wavers, how unsure it is. "I should want to, yes?"

"I can't say Brother, if it were Jane… I think I'd want to see."

"I suppose I should, I won't be able to see her when they put her into a casket after all." I try to sound indifferent and aloof. Thor frowns, "So, um, now?"

"Now." He agrees, and we leave.
