A/N: A continuation of "Mortals are a Gods plaything"! I would've put them together, but I feel as though they would be two separate parts. This one is quite a bit longer, and focuses on some of the other characters as well! I hope those who read this enjoy this about as much as I enjoyed writing it!

Disclaimer: I don't own anyone from Thor. I only own my ocs!

Harlene followed Loki around, hands behind her back. They had arrived in Asgard a few minutes ago, and he was showing her around. It's funny; she had only known Loki for a few days, and already, she was going to be living with him. She was scared. What if her mother was right? What if she hadn't been in love with him like she thought she was?

Harlene Vanity, only eighteen, had already devoted her life to Loki; whom she met on Earth, or Midgard, as they called it. He stayed with her for a while, but they became close in those few days. Loki had suggested her moving in with him, as he began to feel the same for her. His brother, Thor, seemed to think it wouldn't be a good idea, but they ignored him.

Loki Laufeyson was the man whom she fell for. He was the God of Mischief, and wasn't to be trusted. He was cunning, manipulative, and deadly. Yet she loved it. She knew he was smart, but had yet to see the full extent of his mind. She was excited, however.

Loki had led her into the kingdom, not counting on Odin to be looking for him already. Just as Loki went to put Harlene into his room, Odin walked over behind him.

"Loki, how was your trip to Midgard?" He asked, looking up at the boy he once called a son. Loki looked at him, knowing the only reason he breathed right now was because of Frigga. Odin cared not for him. He quickly shut the door, hoping Harlene would stay quiet.

"Very satisfying, father." He said the last part hesitantly. He wanted nothing more than to have things where they had been. Except without Thor. Odin brushed this off, and turned.

"Good. Hopefully, it gave you the time you need to think about how you can better yourself." Odin said, wondering off.

Loki glared, but ignored his anger for the man. He had to tend to Harlene. He opened the door and walked in to see his lovely lover laying on the bed, reading one of his books on magic. He smiled and walked over.

"You want to be a sorceress?" He asked, running his hand up and down her thigh. She blushed, and shrugged.

"It seems interesting." She giggled. He smiled, before leaning down and kissing Harlene lovingly.

~Thor~

Thor sat with his friends, trying to focus on what they were talking about, but couldn't. His mind swam with many conflicting thoughts. Why did he care if Loki had a girlfriend? And why did he feel like he should sabotage his relationship by telling Odin?

"Are you listening, Thor?" Fandral asked. Thor snapped back into reality and looked at him, before sighing.

"I'm sorry, what were you saying?" He asked. Sif frowned and placed her hand on Thor's shoulder.

"Thor, are you feeling alright? Perhaps I should walk you back to the kingdom?" She asked. Thor thought about objecting, but knew his mind would be nowhere near his friends today.

"Thank you, Sif." He said, standing up to walk with her. He thought about what was going on with his brother while walking, before looking at Sif. "Sif, can I ask you something?"
"Sure. What is it?" She looked at him, standing still. "Does it have to do with what's on your mind?" She asked.

"Yeah… Well… Do you think I should tell Odin that Loki has fallen in love with someone from Midgard?" He asked. "And… perhaps he has brought her back here."

Sif's eyes widened, before she looked around. Luckily, no one was around. "He what!? He does know what will happen if Odin finds out, correct?" She asked. Thor took a deep breath.

"I tried to warn her. She's just under his spell… Not literally." He put his hands up. "He didn't use a spell on her. Not that I know of, anyway." He sighed. Sif looked away.

"I think we should talk to her. Try and convince her to go back. Not because Loki is scum, but because she doesn't need to be here." Sif said. "Is there any way you can get her out?" She asked.

"I can try. Meet me outside the kingdom at night, and I will try to have her come out." Thor said. "I think I should get in now, though. Just to make sure she doesn't get caught."

"Good idea." Sif smiled. "I'll see you in a bit."

"Yeah. Hurry back before the others suspect you of something." Thor smirked, and was pushed as Sif rolled her eyes and rushed off. Thor walked back into the kingdom. How would he do this? He could keep Odin distracted, but how?

He sighed, before heading to Loki's room. He knocked on the door, and luckily, Harlene had seemed to be the only one in there, as no one responded. He opened the door slowly, walking in and closing the door behind him.

"Thor, what are you doing?" Harlene looked at him, laying in the bed and reading. Thor walked over and sat at the foot of the bed.

"Where's Loki?" He asked.

"Your father wanted to speak to him, I think." She shrugged. "Is there something I should tell him?" She asked.

"No, actually. I need this to be between us. I want you to follow me out of the kingdom later. I have someone who would like to meet you." Thor managed to smile at her. "I know you don't really like me right now, and think I want to keep you away from Loki, but I have to accept the fact he loves you." He looked up. "I want to welcome you to Asgard."

Harlene blinked. She hadn't been expecting this. "Really?" She asked.

"Yeah. So will you?" He looked over at her. He couldn't have Loki walk in on this discussion.

"I suppose. So, I can't tell Loki?" She asked, frowning.

"No. He, too, would think I was up to something." He sighed. "Do you promise me you won't tell?"

Harlene looked down, before nodding. Thor smiled. "Good, I shall come and knock on the door three times when it's time. Manage to sneak out without Loki seeing you, alright?"

"Alright." She said, nodding.

"Good, I'll see you in a bit." Thor said, standing up and walking out. As he began to walk to his room, he ran into Loki. "Oh, hello brother." Thor smiled.

"Hello, Thor." Loki walked past him. "Odin would like to speak to you." Loki walked into his room without another word.

Thor shrugged, before walking off to speak with Odin. As he reached the throne room, he was met with his father, whom was obviously expecting him.

"You wanted to see me?" Thor asked, standing behind his father.

"Yes. Thor, I need to you keep an eye on Loki. He's acting strange, as though he's trying to hide something from me." Odin turned around. "I asked him if everything was okay, and he just kept dodging questions about his trip to midgard. Do you have any idea of what's going on?" He asked.

"No, father. I do not. He said nothing to me. If I find out anything, I shall tell you." Thor responded. "I shall watch over him. Have a good night, father."

"Sleep well, Thor." Odin said. Thor walked off and headed to his room, waiting for the kingdom to be filled with silence. He could only hope he wouldn't be caught. That's the last thing he would need, especially with Harlene. He took a deep breath and relaxed. Only a little bit to go.
