Ok this chapter is six years later for Halaina, but Tom has only been in Midgard for two months.
"Thor."
"Yes, father."
"I'm sending you and your brother to Midgard, there is trouble and they will need your help."
"I understand." Thor bowed to his father.
" As do I, Thor, Odin." Loki regarded them carefully. "What is it that we must prevent?"
"Cronos is moving, a runt like Loki got away from him came here seeking asylum. I told him to go find another place to hide, he went to Midgard." The all father explained.
"I see, come on Thor."
"Loki"
"Yes Odin."
"Hel is there."
"I know" Loki stalked off leave Thor trailing behind.
I had been on Midgard for two months, and Shield was a complete pain in the ass. For the moment I was stuck beneath Stark tower while being interrogated. They had told my that the head honcho was coming to talk to me, and that I was getting food. Though I was hungry, that didn't matter.
I had to stay away from the girl that haunted my dreams. It meant that my soul mate was here, in Midgard. Every time I closed my eyes I saw her. Gorges ebony curls that flowed down her back like liquid obsidian . Her skin was fair, but if you looked close enough you could see pale freckles across her cheeks. She had the perfect body skinny with curves in all the right places. And her eyes were the color of pure jade.
The door opened jolting me out of the day dream.
" Hello, I'm Tony Stark, Fury has asked me to take you up stair and make you comfortable until he gets here." He said holding the door open for me. " My daughter Halaina is making hot dogs and other stuff on the grill." He smiles.
I get up out of the mental chair I'd been sitting in for the last hour and followed him in to an elevator. "I thought you and your wife couldn't have kids?" I asked confused though I had had glimpses of their daughter.
"Halaina is adopted." He stated simply.
I nodded.
"Jarvis" Stark called to the supper conputer that over saw every thing that went on in Stark Tower.
" Yes Mrs. Stark"
" I want you to show me what my darling daughter is up to." He commanded glancing at me from the corner of his eye.
"Of corse sir." The computer answered bring up images of the girl that I need to stay away from. It would be harder to stay a way now that I knew were she live and what her name was.
Halaina was on what looked to be a balcony, standing in front of a huge grill. She was making hot dogs, burgers and stake. My mouth watered just thinking about food and who was papering it.
I shook myself, it didn't matter that she was meant to be mine. I had to keep my distance, if our souls got the chance to become one this realm would be doomed.
The elevator open as the image faded, only to reveal the real thing. She was sing a song that many woman in my own realm sang so often. It was the only thing that my people accepted from this place. This song was true for all in Jotunheim, the song was called Reflection, none of my people not even I knew the artist.
Look at me
You may think you see
Who I really am
But you'll never know me
Every day
It's as if I play a part
Now I see
If I wear a mask
I can fool the world
But I cannot fool my heart
Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
Her voice glided over ever note like honey, sweet like an angel.
I am now
In a world where I
Have to hide my heart
And what I believe in
But somehow
I will show the world
What's inside my heart
And be loved for who I am
Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
Why is my reflection
Someone I don't know?
Must I pretend that I'm
Someone else for all time?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
I closed my eye relising that her magic was at work, painting a picture the she herself didn't remember. Odin before his high consul going over why she should be banished even though she had done nothing wrong. Thor and Frigga fighting for her to stay, that she should not be held responsible for her fathers misdeeds. Off to the side sat Halaina in her fathers arms as he whispered comforting words,promising every thing would be ok.
There's a heart that must be
Free to fly
That burns with a need to know
The reason why
Why must we all conceal
What we think, how we feel?
Must there be a secret me
I'm forced to hide?
I won't pretend that I'm
Someone else for all time
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
As the song faded an image of Halaina and her father on horse back came in to view. The horse was black, upon the horse Halaina sat in front of none other then Loki.
I eyed the boy before me, his eyes were closed. I knew that he had felt it, her magic. It swelled when ever she sang, weather it was in her room or in front of people. But he could get a hold of it and read the massage that her magic had tried to tell us so many times before.
"Hello, Earth call." I said as I walked out of the elevator, he opened his eyes and followed.
"When is Fury going to be here?" He asked, eye still fixed on my daughter.
"In a few weeks, Thor and Loki showed up saying that trouble was coming. They will most likely get here before Fury." I answered.
"Shit, Cronos must have locked on to me." He swore.
"Ah, so your the one bringing all this down on us." I mused.
"Not on purpose, Cronos cornered me and tried to make me do his dirty." He informed me.
" I see, well if you were planing on leaving there is no point in you doing so." I shoot back.
" If I left this place would be distoyed, I can't do that, not to her." His eyes softened as he looked at Halaina. "Tell me Mrs. Stark do you believe in soul mates?"
" Why do you ask?" I asked rather confused.
" Because your daughter and I appear to be soul mates." He turned and looked at me.
"How do you know that?" I got in his face not afraid to do what needed to be done in order to pertect Halaina.
"Her magic, it calls to me." I looked at him stuned.
