Astrid didn't quite know what she was expecting when she got to Stark tower, but Loki Odinson was defintley not one of them. " Loki" she grinned, but when he turned around his normally green eyes were a startling blue. " Ahh Astrid it's so good to see you." he said his voice dripped with sarcasm. " What is wrong with you Loki?" Astrid asked softly though she had a guess of her own. " The better question is what isn't wrong with me. Tell me Astrid did you know?" He basically spat out his eyes were filled with hatred and anger. " Know what?" Astrid asked having no idea what he was talking about. " That I'm a frost giant and a runt at that. Did you abandon me just like everyone else, because I'm the monster in all of our stories!" he shouted and she flinched at his words. " Oh Loki you're not a monster. Hertige dosn't define us or are you saying I'm a monster, because I'm half-titan am I?" Astrid pointed out and she saw him wince at the word titan. " You lie." he growled. " My father has messed with your mind Loki and I will help free you." Astrid promised and before he could react she teleported behind him her hands pressed against his temples.

She could feel her father's influence all over his mind. Taking a deep breath she serched for Loki and when she found his part of his mind it was very small. " Help me get him out." Astrid spoke before attacking the link between Loki and her father. Her head throbbed painfully, but she continued knowing that if Loki joined her they would over power anyone in their mind strength. It was 5 minutes before the pain eased as Loki helped her and when he did it only took a minute for them to get him out completly. Astrid exited Loki's mind and took her hands off Loki's head making him turn around giving her a hug. " I'm sorry." he apologized and Astrid laughed. " Good to have you back now please tell me you made a fail safe." Astrid begged. " My scepter can break the shield." Loki told her. " Right let's go get it then." Astrid grinned before walking away from him to find his scepter
