Loki groaned as he rose from the crater he had made and looked up at the sky cursing Odin. He was banished, like Thor, for his crimes against Midgard and stripped of his powers. Everything hurt. He looked around himself noticing he had fallen upon a dry hill and it was night time. He could see lights in the distance and started making his way towards them cursing as he tripped along in the dark. He finally made it to a road and was walking in the middle of it when out of nowhere, a car came and hit him. Not very hard, but enough to send him flying several feet with the wind knocked out of him and definitely scraped up a bit. He heard a car door open and close and heard a girl saying,"Holy shit! Oh my god, PLEASE don't be dead!". She crouched in front of him as he struggled to breathe and a look of relief swept her face before growing concerned again. "Can you move everything? What hurts? Oh that's a bad scrape!" She babbled on as Loki attempted to sit up. Nothing seemed broken and he was regaining the ability to breathe normally again, but he was bleeding in several places and felt a bump starting to form on the back of his head. "Could you not see where you were going?" He spat. "How are you permitted to drive if you run people over like that?". She looked at him in shock before becoming angry,"Well I wasn't the idiot walking in the middle of the goddamn road!" She exclaimed. Her face grew calm and he noticed her eyes were slightly puffy as though she had been crying. "I'm sorry," she whispered,"I was looking for something and I wasn't paying attention." Loki looked at her. She had brown hair the color of chocolate that turned into waves and curls as it ended just below her shoulders. Her skin was a light tan and her lips were a dark dusty rose color. Her eyes sparkled like the dark, rich mead he drank on Asgard. She was in an unbuttoned green flannel with a navy tank top underneath, leggings and boots. As he stood up he noticed how petite she was, the top of her head barely reached his shoulders.
Allie was tired, not only had she had a long day at work, she had to go pick up her stuff from her boyfriend-sorry, ex-boyfriend's house. After getting her stuff she got in her car and started crying as she drove away. She was looking for the necklace he got her that she left there a while ago in the box in the passenger's seat before seeing a man walking in the middle of the road. She tried to stop the car, but it was too late. The car made contact with the man in the road and he sprawled forward. She ran out praying he wasn't dead. She felt bad. He was banged up and looked as if he might have a concussion,"Are you sure you're okay? I can take you to the hospital if you'd like?", She asked although it was more of a suggestion. "I'm fine." He said stiffly. "Well my friend is a doctor and she doesn't live far from here, I could drive you there and have her check you out and then take you home.". "Yes I would… appreciate that.". He managed, still having a little trouble breathing. As they got in her car she moved the box of her things to the back seat so he could sit in the passenger's side. "Buckle up." She added as she started her car. As she drove she was careful to keep her eyes on the road but as she got to a stop light, she let herself check him out. He was…. attractive. There was no other way to put it he had a great jawline, black hair and pale skin. His eyes were her favorite, she was definitely an eye girl. They were a piercing green. As she checked him out, he turned to face her and she noticed he looked familiar. Too familiar, she racked her brains for about three seconds before remembering. She gasped and quickly pulled over. "Get out." Allie whispered, not looking at him. "What? I thought you were taking me to your friend's house?" "I am not going to help someone who killed thousands of people in an alien invasion, Loki." She hissed out his name in the end with venom. His eyes widened and then narrowed quickly."I'm surprised how quickly you realized it was me, mortal." He smirked.
Loki actually was surprised, he had assumed that the Midgardians would be slow to recognize him. After all, it had been three years. "Now tell me, how did you realize it was me so quickly?" he asked nonchalantly. "You don't ask the questions here." The girl growled. "Oh, you're a feisty one I take it?" he retorted. Loki had to think, he didn't want the girl to call S.H.I.E.L.D. on him, and he needed somewhere to stay. What else to do but charm her? He had already caught her staring at him so he guessed she was attracted to him. "Listen, I have not come back here to harm anybody. I am only here to atone for my previous actions on your realm." As he said this, he put his hand over hers in a simple, yet reassuring gesture. She stared down at his hand on hers and slid it out folding hers together. "Give me one good reason not to call the authorities." she said hesitantly. "Well last time I was here I had some followers under my complete control. If your authorities are in their right mind, they will want to do a series of tests to see that you are in yours." His eyes glinted in the dark like a cat stalking it's prey. "It would be in your best interest if this was kept quiet," he started to smile,"You wouldn't want your life turned upside down would you?" Loki could see the gears working in her brain as she tried to figure a way out of this. "I could just dump you somewhere for somebody else to find." She argued, thinking she had caught him, but Loki thought quicker."Who's to say I won't turn you in?" Loki almost had her in his clutches. "And how would you do that? You don't even know my name!" She sneered, pleased with herself, but Loki knew better."Well you see, in my short time on Midgard, I picked up on a few things. People can be tracked by phones, their own faces, and apparently the most common way, their license plates on their cars." He grinned, proud as she tried to think a way out of the situation but he had got her. "I could easily memorize your plate and tell the authorities, but if you were to help me off this wretched place that would be divine and I wouldn't have to bother you with being arrested." She stared at him and gave him a look in between shock and loathing."So who is this friend I have heard a great deal about?" He asked, smiling.
Allie had no idea what to do. All she could do was try to think of a plan where she got out unscathed. She started driving towards Ellie's house, lost in her thoughts. She had been in New York when the invasion happened. She lived there. The whole invasion was the reason she moved to Pleasant Hill, California. She had been going on a coffee run for her colleagues at HSBC (Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation) when the portal exploded. She threw the coffee to the ground and ran inside the building to the 16th floor and his under her desk. They had been stuck there for about half an hour before something came and crashed into the top of it. The bottom of the building had to evacuate onto the streets where it wasn't much safer. That's when she saw him. He was on the back of some flying vehicle shooting at what appeared to be Captain America. She ran with the crowd from her building trying to get to the subway when they were cornered by the aliens. They were all taken hostage and put in some small bakery and say there for a while in terror when the aliens guarding them collapsed. They made their way outside to see that the Avengers had won. Allie then decided that she didn't want to live in any place that could be a target, so when her lease went up a month later, she moved to California."So Ellie is a doctor?" Loki asks waking Allie from her thoughts."Yeah, she just finished med school a year ago." Why the psychopath was making small talk? Allie had no idea but alas, she was stuck with him. "What's Asgard like?" I know small bits and pieces about Norse mytholo- wait if they are real, why is it mythology? Loki looked uncomfortable but answered the question anyways."It's beautiful. Lots of gold and very flashy." Allie nodded as she made a right turn onto Oak Avenue."So if you guys are real, does the term mythology still apply to you guys since you aren't myths?" Loki looked at her and chuckled,"Well the Norse people have their own idea of what we are and had their own myths and stories so I guess the term is still valid although an equal amount is true and untrue..." That's when Allie remembered a story about Loki and smiled in the dark."When I was younger, I dabbled in Norse mythology and I came across a story about you." Loki's eyes narrowed as he tilted his head, suspicious."What story?" Allie almost laughed,"Apparrently you were quite the charmer," he looked relieved,"With animals." She added. He groaned and hit his forehead with his hand. "Damn! Thor made that up in our late youth as a joke! I didn't expect Midgard to find out about it." He growled and Allie smiled. She turned into Ellie's driveway and parked. "Be nice and don't mention your real name. Let's just say your name is... William. You kinda look like a William." He looked at her skeptically but agreed. Allie had texted Ellie in the car that she was coming over so it wasn't completely out of the blue."Be nice." she added before she rang the doorbell and heard faint footsteps before her friend opened the door. "Hey, come on in!" Ellie exclaimed, ushering them inside.
