Hey! I hope you guys liked the last chapter, I'm sorry it was a bit short, but this chapter is much longer. In fact I do believe that this is one of the longest chapters that I have ever written. Okay, well I have come to that conclusion that as I am a busy person, what with school, exams, and work, I hall be updatind once every two weeks, and if I am not so busy then I will update once a week. I will try to stick to this as much as I can, 'cause I know how annoying it can be when you've been waiting for a fic to be updated what feels like forever. Thank you for the reviews for the last chapter- they are much appreciated. Okay, well I shall leave you now to hopefully enjoy this chapter.
Life sucks, and then you die. Or at least that was Leanne McClenan's view on the subject.
"Hey, Lea? Can I come in?" Her friend, though more like a sister, Tori Stark called from the other side of the door as she knocked softly.
"Sure." Leanne answered back. She stood up from her seat on the flood, the crinkles in her simple black dress falling out and flattening.
"You ready?" Tori approached Leanne and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. The latter simply nodded, and was soon lead out of the room.
Today is the day. Today is the day of her parents' funeral. Although Leanne knew that the weren't her real parents and that she was adopted, they were good to her and treated her as if she were their own.
The atmosphere was increasingly melancholic. Sorrow hung over their heads; almost drowning them to death with their tears. Leanne stood up in front of everybody in the church. She cleared her voice and then began her speech.
"Tori! Get you're fucking fat ass down here! Tony's here to see you!" Leanne called up the stairs of their 'little' house. Footsteps could be heard running along the landing.
"Big T!" Tori hopped down the stairs and launched herself at her brother, who just chuckled in response.
"Hey Lil T. What's up?" Tony smiled at his sister, who was a couple few inches shorter than him.
"Common little people, move in to the living room; you're blocking up the hallway." Leanne towered over the siblings as she ushered them out of the room. It was then that she noticed that the genius billionaire playboy philanthropist didn't come alone; there in the doorway stood two tall men, one with blond hair pulled into a ponytail, with happy blue eyes, he was wearing a checked blue short sleeved shirt, a nice pair of jeans and red converse- he was of a muscular build. The man next to him was almost the exact opposite, he had raven black hair, emerald green eyes that twinkled with mischief, he was tall like the blond, but unlike the blond he was not at all muscular. He was clad in a white long sleeve shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, a black waistcoat was worn over the top of the shirt, also wore black skinny jeans with a black and green studded belt, and green converse. Overall, the raven haired man looked quite like Leanne, right down to the sparkling green orbs.
"Oh, hey. You friends of Tony's?" She mentally kicked herself for asking such a stupid question- of course they were friends with Tony.
The blond let out a hearty laugh and looked down at her, a goofy grin ever present on his face. "Indeed! My name is Thor, and this is my brother Loki."
"As in the God of Thunder and the God of Trickery," Thor stared at her wide eyed, it was apparent that he didn't expect her to know about Norse mythology. "Y'know, your parents must have been right crack pots to name you after those two Norse Gods. I mean, Thor dressed up as a woman to get MjoInir back, and Loki has many kids, such as an eight legged horse, a giant wolf, a snake/dragon/hybrid, a half dead girl, twins who seem relatively normal-"
"We get the idea." Loki cut her off. Leanne looked up at him, and for the first time she looked into his eyes. A sense of familiarity swelled up inside her and yet she could not place a reason as of to why this feeling had occurred, as she was sure that she had not met this man before. His emerald eyes reminded her of something that she had seen in her dreams. "May we come in?"
His voice brought her out of her thoughts and she immediately snapped to attention. "Oh, yeah! Sure you can, follow me." She moved aside to let them enter, before closing the door and leading them to the living room where the Stark siblings were gossiping while they waited for them.
"Oh, my god! Really? Oh, Tony! What happened?" Tori exclaim as they sat down.
Tony shrugged. "It just wasn't working out. We're just not right for each other like that; but we're still the best of friends." He smiled a cheesy grin at his sister, who couldn't help but laugh back. Judging from what Tony had just said, Leanne assumed that they were talking about Pepper. Tori looked in Leanne's direction and noticed the two tall gentlemen behind her.
"So, is there a reason that you came around here today and brought Blondie and LeaLea's copy here?" She turned to her brother who smirked at the question.
"Aww, can't a guy just come to visit his sister without being accused of having an ulterior motive?" The elder sibling teased the younger. Tori gave him a pointed look. "Okay, okay! You got me! I came here to steal your coffee machine." He said seriously. His sister gave him a look that just read 'WTF are you on? And no; it's MY coffee machine!'
"I'm sure it is Tony, but seriously why are you here? Shouldn't you be flying around New York in your iron suit saving civilians lives and making bimbos swoon and fall at your feet?" Leanne's Scottish accent sounded monotonous as she asked Tony about his true reasons for appearing at their door today with a blond and a raven.
"Fine…. Killjoy." He mumbled the last bit under his breath, but somehow- miraculously- Leanne still managed to hear it. "As you guys know, I am one of the Avengers, and one of the members is the Norse God of Thunder, Thor." The Man of Iron gestured toward the mentioned man on the white leather couch.
Leanne's eyes widened and she looked up at the man from her place on the bean- bag next to the couch. "Oh shit! You're Thor? Crap, I'm really sorry about insulting you earlier." Thor smiled and nodded, then patted her head in reassurance. "Well, then… If you're really Thor, then I assume that you're really Loki." She looked expectantly at the man that looked oh so much like her. The Trickster nodded and smirked. Tony coughed to regain the attention of everybody in the room. Once, he had all eyes on him, he continued.
"Thank you. Now, it seems that you do indeed remember Thor's lovely brother he going rampage in the Big Apple." Loki chuckled, not seeming to take offence. It seemed that he really had changed. "But he requested to come and meet with you, Lea."
Leanne's brow furrowed in confusion and she looked over at Loki. "I can't imagine why a God would want to talk to me." She murmured. "Do you have any idea what this is about?" She asked Thor.
"I'm sorry dear mortal, but I do not know the reasoning behind by brother's actions." Thor's own brow also furrowed in thought.
All eyes fell upon Loki, who seemed oblivious as he sat there, on the couch next to his brother, seemingly examining his nails for any dirt.
"Ahem, Mr Loki God of Lies and Trickery?" Tori started. The former looked at the latter. "Why did you want to come see Lea?"
Loki smirked and copied Tony's tone from earlier. "What? Can't a God come all this way to see his daughter?" Thor stared in shock at his brother, as did Leanne. The Stark siblings turned to look at each other before turning back to Loki, then glancing between the Scottish girl and the Norse God as their jaws dropped.
Leanne shook her head to rid herself of the shock. "No, that can't be true. If you were my father, then how come I've lived here all my life?" It was then that she realised where she had seen his eyes before- in her dreams. Every night she would be visited by a man who wore a long black leather trench coat, with pale skin, midnight black hair and shining green eyes. He would tell her about how it came that she was adopted and how she would be meeting him in person soon. He would never tell her his name or how he knew so much about her.
"I was down on Midgard on a…. vacation as you would call it to understand Midgardian culture a little better, almost 22 years ago. During that time I met your mother; a witty woman, red-brown curly hair, grey-blue eyes. Her name was Delah McClenan. I met her in New York; she was also on vacation there. After meting her for the first time, I found that we often kept bumping into each other. We decided to go out one night and got to know each other. After quite a few of these meetings, I moved to Scotland with her once her vacation ended. I was there at the time of your birth but I had to return back to Asgard a year afterwards. I was then not able to return back to Midgard to see you or your mother, but I used my magic to watch over you both from afar and visit you in your dreams. When you were two years of age, your mother was murdered after she had her possessions taken from her, before they killed her, she begged them to take what they wanted just so long as they left you alone and didn't harm you. She was found the next day by her friend- your adoptive mother- who took you in and raised you as their own." Loki's eyes were red now, as if he were fighting to stop the tears from falling at remembering the best days of his life, spent with his beloved and his daughter.
"Brother…" Thor whispered and pulled Loki into a gentle brotherly hug. The latter didn't resist, and accepted the comfort that his brother was giving him. Leanne stared at the heartbroken expression on her newly found father's face. Tears started pooling in her eyes.
"Well, that explains quite a lot really," everyone except the mourning God looked at Tony. "I mean, it gives another reason to why Loki tried to rule Earth, he wanted revenge on those who killed his loved on and made his child suffer the consequences. Not to mention that he and Lea look freakishly alike, and are both smart and have a thing for mischief."
Tori nodded enthusiastically beside him. "Mhmm! Now that I think about, they really are alike, and really could be father and daughter."
Leanne slowly got up from her place on the floor and shyly walked over to Loki. The room fell silent as the two stared at each other- when suddenly; Leanne launched herself at him and engulfed him in a hug, her tears finally falling from her eyes. Loki wrapped his arms around her and smiled into her shoulder.
"Father… Thank you for coming back and not completely leaving me." She whispered to him. That was when Thor joined the group hug, and practically squeezed the duo to death.
"Brother/Uncle! Can't breath!" the father and daughter choked out. Thor smiled sheepishly and retracted his arms. The siblings laughed at the family reunion, feeling pleased to see them all so happy.
Tony turned to face his sister. "Say, when do you and Lea finish University? The end of this week right?"
"Yeah, we graduate on Friday. How come?" Tori raised an eyebrow at her brother.
"I think it would be good if you and Lea came back with us to New York once you've both graduated." He smiled.
Tori's eyes widened. "Shit, really? Thank you Tony!" She hugged he brother and they both laughed.
So did you guys like it? Don't forget to review and tell me what you think. So, until next time. Psych.
