Disclaimer: I only own Nicole and Sköll!

chapter 1

Nicole POV

I groaned and curled tighter into Sköll,"I don't wanna get up."

Sköll seemed to chuckle,"Nicole, you have lunch today with the guardians. You must get up so you won't be late."

I growled and sat up,"What happened to Hati?"

Sköll stretched like a cat and yawned,"He said he wanted to chase both the sun and moon today. It's like I'm getting a... What do you call it... A day off?"

I chuckled and changed into more sociable clothes when I spotted the pin that Loki had given me about half a year ago. It wa a golden snake curled up in a coil with two emerald eyes. Not to mention it had dimands running up the back of it. He told me when he gave it to me that it would always keep me safe. I had worn it to our battle under my armor... I still needed to throw it away.

I shivered thinking about the battle, I had almost died and of it wasn't for Sköll and Hati, I would have. The government and Asgard had decided to pay me for my services. Which everyone of the guardians wisely invested with some advisement. I currently owned a small (but not tiny) apparent and a normal looking-BMW. I had a job at a bookstore in the city and was taking online collage courses.

But that didn't mean I could go out with the girls and splurge a little. My house was filled with the latest tech. Most of it was Stark tech.

I jumped when someone knocked on my door. I stood up and walked over,"Coming!"

I opened the door and smiled,"Barton," I hadn't seen him in a while. I let him in,"What brings you here to my humble home?"

Barton opened his mouth to answer when Sköll walked in, sniffed the air and growled at Barton. I cocked my head,"Sköll..."

Barton suddenly snapped into action, he pulled out a mini crossbow and shot a tranquilizer at Sköll,"No," I screamed and ran forward catching Sköll before he hit the ground. I turned to Barton,"What is wrong with you?"

Barton ignored me and pulled out his walkie-talkie,"It's clear sir."

Sir, when did Barton call anyone sir? He called them boss...

My eyes widened as a portal appeared in my freaking entryway! I gasped when a familiar person walked through my doorway,"Loki.."

He turned to me and I took a hesitant step forward,"Barton," I snuck a glance and as what Barton's eye were glowing blue. I turned back to Loki narrowing my eyes accusingly at the Demi-god,"What did you do to him?"

Loki smirked and struck the I'm innocent pose,"I, I only set the poor man free."

"Free? From what?"

Loki chuckled as if it was obvious,"Why from freedom of course. But tell me Nicole, darling," he walked up to me,"Are you not happy to see me?"

I thought my heart was gonna give out. This... This villain was in my home. He'd done something to Barton... And made Barton do something to Sköll...he had to be planning something... I could stop him. No, not by myself, not with Sköll knocked out. That would be suicide. I took a deep breath to steady myself," I would be if you didn't have a friend of mine under a spell. Not to mention you're supposed to be missing."

Loki reached up -and I repressed the urge to flinch away-he stroked the side of my face,"Darling," he cooed,"What if I told you I'm here to offer you a throne?"

I raised an eyebrow,"That wouldn't change anything,"Can you not tell I'm trying to ignore the fact that you smell really really nice,"You and I both know that any relationship that either of us could be in with the other is a very, VERY, bad idea. I'm a guardian of Midgard and Asgard. You hate both places."

Loki purred like a kitten,"Someday I'll make you change your mind."

I bit back the urge to scream at him,"What a day that'll be," I said politely.

Sköll started to come back to me, and Loki sent a glance over at Barton,"Time to go," Loki picked up my hand as Barton somehow made another portal appear. He kissed it,"Are you sure you don't want to come with me?"

After he let my hand go and it was at my side, he walked back towards the portal,"It's for the best. Stay safe and keep Barton safe."

Sköll limped up to me after the portal disappeared,"Should we be worried?"

"Hell yes."
