Cue the Evil Twin

.

Controlling this rather fat man is not nearly as fun as I thought it would be, Loki thought, as he spun about in a circle behind the man known as Selvig – who was currently drooling on what could only be a primitive correspondence device. Currently, the overly bright display showed a string of black letters moving across the screen to the left. Once it reached the end of the white area, it moved down, started a new row and repeated.

How quaint. Loki scratched the side of his head where his flesh had been burned in his fall to earth a few days ago. Newly healed epidermis and deeper tissues always itched the day after it was healed with only his power. He hated repairing tissue without a healing room. By the light of the Bifrost, it itches so! He hated the fact that he had landed on such a primitive planet; in the most annoying turn of events it was now Loki himself who was exiled.

Doesn't that just ruin one's fun?

Loki exhaled and dropped his arms to his sides, both clapping on his legs. The human in front of him rolled out of his chair with a clatter, asleep the entire time. Loki snorted in disgust. This human was comparable to a de-haired Volstagg. Eat, sleep, drink. Repeat. Interspersed with a few hours of uniqueness.

Touching the human as little as possible, he nudged the beast the rest of the way out of the chair with the toe of his boot. Not that he thought this entire primitive race were brutish – no, that corporation that held Thor captive for a small amount time, S.H.E.I.L.D, wasn't so bad.

For a backwater planet.

But he might be skewing his interest in them just because they had over powered a Thor; that had been a riot. Mustn't forget that nice bit of power the humans had found as well.

Loki stared at the interface in front of dully. He dismissed everything on the screen until his roving eyes landed on the word 'send'. He had seen the man Selvig, messing around with the…object connected by tubes to the screen. He moved it and a tiny pointer on the blaring screen moved as well. He made it move to the word 'send' and pushed a button. The screen lit up with the words 'Your message has been sent.'

Huzzah, good deed for the day.

Loki hoped he'd have some sort of idea to entertain himself tomorrow. This place definitely had more potential for mischief than Asgard. At least he hoped so, or he was in for a thousand years of boredom. If so, he figure something out.

.

"Erik? Why the hell did you send me a ten page email composed entirely of 'S'es?" Jane questioned her mentor with a raised eyebrow over breakfast at the little diner she, Erik and Darcy frequented.

"What? I don't remember doing that." Erik held his head in both hands as he moaned about a killer headache.

Jane snorted. "That's what you get when you go out all night." She pushed her fork through her plate of scrambled eggs, not once raising it to her mouth.

"It wasn't like that at all." Erik kept mute on the fact that he had met up with an old friend the night before. He wasn't sure Jane was ready yet to meet Nick Fury. He took a sip of coffee; his head was pounding. It was unanimous, he promised to never sleep on concrete floors again, he was much too old to appreciate the comfort they provided.

Jane continued to stare at him. Erik shook his head in denial once more. She quickly turned to the window of the café and sighed in misery when the blond tourist walking by was not the man she desired.

Erik reached across the table and gave one of her hands a gentle squeeze. "It'll turn out alright. Just you wait."

"I don't understand. Did you join an AA group?" Darcy squinted at him in confusion.

Jane and Erik both sighed. "No." They said in unison.

It was going to be a long day.

.

Loki was having the greatest day of his life. Transformed as a raven he practically radiated glee. He hopped back and forth on the ledge just inside the eatery his puppet had walked into. He had not realized just how much this pesky little human wanted Thor– and oh, what a wonderful plan!

He sincerely hoped Thor would be watching; it wasn't often he got a chance to completely thumb his nose at the god. If Thor ever found a way back to this place he'd have to hightail it out of here.

But oh! What fun it would be. With the added perk of enticing Thor to this planet faster, Loki would get out of self-created exile – I will never ever meddle with the bifrost bridge again– quicker, and leave this godforsaken planet. Literally godforsaken, who wanted to stay in such a primitive place?

Definitely not me.

Loki hopped off the beam and opened his wings, slowing his descent to the tiled floor. Once there, he hopped closer to the table and cawed.

" What a pretty birdie!" The extra woman said as she pelted him with cooked eggs and a potato substance. He cawed louder this time as he tried to dodge.

"Darcy, stop!" The human who his new plans revolved around said.

"What? It looked hungry."

He most certainly did not. He ruffled his feathers and croaked at her. Tramp.

"See? My hamster used to beg for food too." The twat-human paused for a second. "Although…that might have been because I forgot to feed it for a week."

He watched… Jane snag the arm of Selvig and whisper, "She is not allowed to have a pet." To which the man nodded emphatically.

Enough of this; I have things to do, and people to screw with.

He cawed loudly catching the eye and hypnotizing the man. 'I think I should go take it outside.'

"I think I should go take it outside." The man parroted to the two women at the table. Selvig moved stiffly to his position and grabbed him – Not so hard you fool!

Selvig ran into the door head first before Loki allowed the man some focus back by lessening the strength of his hypnotism; just enough so that the man wouldn't look like a bumbling idiot. The door was open this time and his puppet made it through.

Just as the door slammed behind Loki and his carrier, he heard the moronic one still at the table say "I don't think his AA group is helping much."

.

Jane was not quite sure how to bring up the oddities that Erik had been displaying at breakfast without possibly suggesting that he really should join an Alcoholics Anonymous group. As far as she knew, that time with Thor had been one of the few nights he had drank himself unconscious.

Thor. God How she missed him. It had been less than a week without a sign of him. She refused to lose hope, and she knew many would call her a hopless romantic. After all, she had only known him for a few days. But… she knew she needed him from the first moment they had kissed – she knew her life would never be the same after that.

Even with lost hope she would still hold on months and years later. All because he had promised her he would come back. And Thor was not the type of person who would go back on a promise.

"Jane! Get in the Van! There's a disturbance to the east! Ten miles out of town!" Erik shouted as he rushed into the makeshift lab pointing a hand to the west.

"What kind of disturbance?" She asked as she swiveled in her chair toward him.

"One of those disturbances! We have to leave now!" Erik rushed forward and grabbed her by the arm before yanking her toward the van.

"Are you sure?" Hope welled in her heart.

"Yes!" Erik said before smiling at her in the weirdest way she had ever seen.

Jane smiled back; in the distance she could see a dust storm touchdown in the distance. As she scrambled into the driver's chair; Jane hoped she wouldn't run Thor over this time.

.

"I knew you would come back, I never lost hope." She cried into his shoulder, tears absorbing into the red robe he had thoughtfully wrapped around her.

Loki hugged the human to his illusioned torso, much larger arms wrapped around her tiny fragile body. "You are the most important thing to me, my world revolves around you." He grimaced over her head; such words were only spoken by saps and his broth – no. Not brother. He smiled. Enemy was not the correct word either.

Adversary sounded good.

This was going to be so much fun.

.

A galaxy away, a Thunder God roared in anger and despair.

Oh no! What a nefarious plot! Will Thor ever show, up? Will Jane ever find out she is dating The evil twin from space? Find out next time on: The Young and the Restless!

Hm. That was fun, I just had to do it. So... what do you think?
