Midgard was different than she supposed. Sigyn felt like an insignificant ant as she made her way down the street that was now in chaos. Despite the dangers the Chitauri posed, Sigyn flew past the Midgardians and inside the glass-covered tower where Loki was.

She could feel her husband's distress, could feel his heart thud painfully in his chest as he was thrown like a rag doll across the room. Sigyn bit back a scream as she flew up the stairs, ignoring the cries of surprise as she pushed back several Midgardians who were running for cover.

As she reached the topmost floor, she saw a green, hulking being stomp his way down the hallway towards her.

Sigyn stopped dead in her tracks, and the monster did the same.

"What have you done?" she demanded, her eyes narrowing. The baby inside of her kicked against her belly, as if it were sharing her anger.

The monster didn't reply; instead it gave a loud grunt and turned away from her.

"Tell me!" she screamed, raising her hand. A powerful bolt of energy shot from her palm, slamming onto the monster's back.

That caught the Hulk's attention, and he turned and growled menacingly at her. Sigyn stood her ground and placed her hand over her belly. She certainly wouldn't let this monster harm her husband or anyone dear to her.

"What have you done?" she repeated, her voice turning deadly.

"Puny god," the Hulk answered. "But you even smaller."

The Hulk balled his thick green hands into fists and prepared to rush at her. Before the Hulk could charge at her however, another powerful energy beam blasted the Hulk through the concrete wall.

"Why don't you pick on someone your own size?" Loki stepped out of the office, his armor lined with dirt and rubble and his hair disheveled. "Touch my wife, you pitiful creature, and I shall make sure you will never see daylight again."

The Hulk roared, leaping to its feet, but this time it was Sigyn who blasted the Hulk, sending the green monster flying out of the building.

"Sigyn," Loki said, lowering his sceptre to his side. All ferocity was gone from his face, and it was replaced with worry and concern. "You should not have come."

"I told you, my love, where you go, I go. My son needs his father," Sigyn answered, pressing a kiss to her husband's lips. Loki smiled and rested his hand on the bump of her belly, chuckling softly as the baby responded to his touch.

"You cannot stay," Loki insisted. "I cannot fulfill my mission if I am worried about your welfare."

Sigyn looked at him with a determined gleam in her eye. "In case you have forgotten, my love, I was the one who defeated you in all of our sparring sessions. I can take care of myself."

Loki clicked his tongue in disapproval, but he knew better than to argue with his wife. He was genuinely concerned for her safety and the safety of his child, but when Sigyn transformed into her battle armor (which was similar to his, except that it had a bodice and leather shorts), he knew she meant business.

Together they stepped out of Tony Stark's rooftop suite and towards the Tesseract.

They had a world to conquer.


Author's Note: Sorry if I made the Hulk seem like a brute, but I was writing this with Sigyn's POV in mind. And boy was she angry. :))
