A silver necklace glittered in the sunlight as Loki pushed the drapes aside. His eyes darted towards it and a sense of familiarity drenched him as he slowly lifted it up. It wasn't a Aesir necklace that's for sure, as the designs were very simplistic. But the jewelry was gorgeous non the less. The necklace had a small charm on it, a simple heart shaped locket with the word 'love' engraved into the silver metal. Loki caressed the words with his finger. Then, with a simple push, the locket opened to reveal a picture of a newborn. He knew the infant.

"Oh it's you," He whispered. "I almost forgot of you my son. How could I forget such a beautiful face?"

Loki gently closed and opened the locket smiling. The infant in the picture was his youngest son. After him he hadn't given birth to or sired any other child. This made him feel slightly depressed, he hadn't seen his child in years. But with reason, he had the child in Midgard and technically he was never suppose to go there. He had gone there years ago, way before his attack on the land. Disguised as a woman, Loki had fallen for one of the men of Midgard and had his child. However, he ended up leaving them behind in order to go home. Since then, Loki almost never left Asgard and when he did, he was accompanied by someone else. As he stared longingly at the locket, he had the strongest wish to return to Midgard just to find his son.

"How old would you be right now?" Loki asked the picture. "On Midgard you'd be a grown man, in Asgard, just a child. Oh my beautiful son...together we could rule both Midgard and Asgard together. Hm...but would you truly want them? For all I know...you could've lost someone in my raid and now hate me with a passion. Or perhaps you were one of the many I've killed?"

He held the locket tightly, smiling at the cool feeling the locket gave. Loki remembered when he had first received the necklace, as if it were just yesterday. After months of pretending to be the man's wife, he had given birth to his son. The father kissed him head, his cheek, and his lips, saying their son came out healthy and fine. Loki was so relieved to hear that, after living on Midgard for nine months, he had read some books on child birth there. He was a bit worried that his child would be one of the many who died during birth. For a few months, he continued to stay in Midgard, hiding away so the media that stalked the man wouldn't see him. After all, it be very suspicious to see another man carrying his son and no one has ever seen him before. Then, one night, he knew he had to return home to Asgard, so he put on his attire and said his goodbyes to his son. The father had stopped him before he had left completely. He was surprised that he was going, and was highly upset. Loki comforted the man and was soon rewarded with a small box. Inside was the very necklace and even though it was dark out, it still shined brightly. Loki thought his heart would make him stay, but instead he took off one of his own royal jewelry and handed it to him. They said their goodbyes, gave each other their final kiss, and then Loki left. As he left, he swore that he heard his son crying out for him, but it was most likely just his imagination. It hurt none the less.

Loki blinked away the tears as he put on the necklace all the while continuing to fondle the charm delicately. He had to see his son once more, but he was under watch. His powers were all but gone and he was weaker. There was no way he could escape! But his son...oh his gorgeous son. Tears rolled down his cheeks.

"I miss you my son," Loki whispered. "If I could I would retrieve you and bring you to Asgard but I cannot. My darling son...I will find you one day...I will find you...Anthony."

Tony yawned as he entered SHIELD HQ. Fury had called insisting that he hurry his ass up; so, he took his dear sweet time. Whatever it was Tony could care less, though he had an inkling of what it was, SHIELD was never his number one priority, it was barely his fifth! He hated speaking to anyone there because they all acted as if they had sticks rammed up their asses. It had to be a rule, in order to join SHIELD you must shove a large stick up your rear. Yes, that was the answer, Tony Stark solved one of the numerous secrets of SHIELD!

"STARK!" Fury shouted.

"I'm here!" Tony said entering the room. "What is it?!"

"You're late! Hurry up and sit your ass down! We need to run a test on you."

"Oh come on! Again? I was just here last week when you tested me! I'm absolutely fine!"

None the less he took a seat at the familiar therapy chair. A doctor instantly started to take blood samples and a therapist sat right besides him with a clipboard in hand. Ever since Loki's attack that was well over a year ago, SHIELD insisted on these biweekly checkups. Tony didn't understand why and they refused to tell him anything. Even when Tony had hacked their systems, all information about the matter had vanished without a trace. Upon going to SHIELD for his next check up, Fury calmly showed him a USB that contained all the information because, "they knew he'd do something like that".

"Mr. Stark tell me what was your family life like?" The therapist asked.

"Lets see Daddy never said 'I love you' and mommy was a whore any more questions?" Tony asked smirking.

"Was your father...odd in any way? Perhaps he had something that he owned that you didn't understand?"

"...Well...when he thought he was alone...he did play with this weird jewelry. It wasn't my mom's since it actually looked good. When I asked him what it was he just stare at me before locking it away. I think I still have that somewhere come to think of it. Maybe I should unearth that thing..."

"Fascinating that's valuable information..."

"Why?"

"Classified Mr. Stark."

"Of course it is."

Tony huffed slightly and continued to answer the therapist's numerous questions. He really wanted to leave but Fury would've no doubt tackle him to the ground. The man was very 'persuasive' and could convince him to do things he would never do if someone else were to ask. That's because the man also could kill him in a second, and Tony rather liked living it had alcohol and science in it.

Crossing his legs in boredom, Tony glanced out the window losing interest fast. If something didn't stimulate his brain soon he'd flip! The therapist said something which only sound like a mix mash of words to Tony so he completely ignored him. His mind started to wander at this point as he thought of new inventions to make, new ways to enhance his suit, things he could do with Pepper later! Everyone else started to get quieter and quieter in his mind, and Tony was almost completely out of it until Fury gave him a wake up call.

"Stark I need you to get out of here."

Before he could even ask, Tony was force out of the room. In mid struggle, Tony caught a glimpse of the computer screen before it got covered by the doctor. It had two head shots of himself and Loki with red words flashing across the screen. Tony was able to see it before being pushed out and having the door close in his face.

"Parent strand?" He asked.

Quickly he stood up and started banging on the door furiously. What the hell was going on? As much as he hit the door though Tony knew for a fact they weren't going to open the door. Something was seriously up, he had his suspicions before but this was just hitting him in his face. Backing away from the door, Tony left HQ and started heading home with a new idea in his head.

"It said parent strand," Tony said to himself as he flew home. "Jarvis do we have any DNA information on Loki?"

"Sorry sir but no," Jarvis replied.

"Shit...then do we have DNA information on my parents?"

"Both your mother and father sir. Their medical history and every little detail about that was placed into my mainframe in case they were need if something were to happen to you."

"Then I want you to run my DNA with theirs and see if something's not right."

"Very well sir."

Tony didn't like where his idea was going, it was the last thought he needed in his mind. Landing on the platform, Tony rushed through getting out of the suit and into his lab passing Pepper and Bruce without even stopping to say hi. He was already frustrated with being kept in the dark of something involving him, this was more important that giving them a little wave.

Rushing into his lab, he started pulling up screens and waited for Jarvis to give him the results. His AI did not disappoint him and within seconds a detailed DNA strand of both his mother and father came up. Tony stared in confusion as he saw his own strand come into view and winced. His mother's DNA didn't match up with any of his own. Jarvis went on with a review of it but Tony could already sum it up altogether. She wasn't his real mother.

"Sir Miss. Potts and Mr. Banner are concerned they have asked me why you were in such a hurry," Jarvis said. "What shall I tell them?"

"...Tell them we're going on a field trip to my old house...," Tony whispered staring at the screen. "And tell the to hurry up."

"Very well sir. May I ask why?"

"Oh just...going to find out why my mother's DNA doesn't match mind and apparently...Loki's does."
