Author's note: This is an alternate ending to the one shot that is the previous chapter. This is what would happen if the plot of the second movie did not happen. Without Jane showing up and the dark elf attack in the prison, what would Sigyn have done? What would Loki have done? It begins right after Sigyn leaves her first letter. Also this one may not be as edited as the first, so please point out any mistakes.

Loki awoke to the sound of soft steps. He let one eye slid open a sliver. He was surprised to see candle light next to his cell. It was Sigyn, standing hesitantly before the food slot, a letter clutched in one hand candle in the other. She was dressed as usual, except her hair fell unrestrained, covering part of her face. Loki grinned to himself, deciding this was perfect opportunity for some fun. He summoned a clone to appear behind her. His clone casually walked up to her,

"What might you be doing here so late?" phantom Loki asked. She whipped around, eyes wide with fright, but the only sound being her gasp of surprise. She glanced at the alarm bell at the end of the hallway.

"Don't you think that would get you into more trouble than it would me? Loki asked her, taking a step closer. She backed up a step, face flushing in the candle light. He leaned in closer, cause her eyes to go wider, then disappeared. The real Loki watched with a delighted smirk as she recollected herself. "So, would that letter be for me or one of my neighbors?" he asked from his cell. She spun around again glaring up at him, but her face soon crumpled, and she looked at her shoes. The mischievous god waited for her to put the letter within his reach. When she did so, he bent to retrieve it without taking his eyes off of her. She stood eyes downcast, presumably waiting for him to read the letter.

'Loki,

I know I should not have come back here, but I wanted to see you one more time before I leave to get married. I think I may have become too fond of you for my own good. I will miss you, your dark humor, and even your mood swings.

Since I am leaving, I have no qualms about telling you that there is something going on with Thor. Things have been stirred up lately. I wish I knew more.

Whatever happens to you, remember that you can make your own choices, and you are not defined by your past or what people think of you. It is never too late to change.

-Sigyn'

Loki looked up, surprised by her openness and faith in him even knowing all of the terrible things he had done. She finally looked back up at him, her dark eyes sad.

"Sigyn," Loki began, "Do you really believe that people can change?" Loki asked hesitantly. She nodded her head with confidence, staring straight into his eyes.

The prisoner thought about the things that had lead him to this point, and then the short time that he had known this girl. He didn't want to admit it, but he had changed, mostly because of her. Loki forced himself out of these thoughts. Sigyn was still staring at him; her eyes had gotten watery. For a brief moment Loki had the urge to reach out to her, before he remembered they were separated. She mouthed goodbye, then turned to leave.

"Wait!" Loki called as loud as he dared, "Don't leave yet." ideas sprinting through his head as he hoped she would stay. She did turn back, tears now flowing freely down her face. The former prince knew this would be a long shot, but he had to try.

"Do you want to marry the man you have told me of?" he asked. She shook her head with a confused expression. "Then don't." he whispered urgently. She looked at him wistfully, and mouthed, "How? I have no other choice."

"Didn't you tell me 'you can always make your own choices'?" Loki shot back kneeling down closer to the barrier. She smiled softly at this. "I am giving you another choice, please hear me out." She was still for a long moment before nodding.

"Let me out of here. I can get us out of the palace without being seen. Then we can escape to Midgard and live there." Loki explained eagerly. Sigyn's eyes went wide, then narrowed with suspicion. Loki knew what she was thinking. "You said you believe people could change, please give me the chance to." He said, tone edging toward desperation. She only closed her eyes and drew a deep breath.

Loki dropped his head in defeat, as her long hair disappeared around the corner. He only looked up again when a soft noise next to him drew his attention. The barrier in front of him was gone, and Sigyn was standing there gesturing for him to hurry out.

I wide grin spread across the prisoners face as he hopped out of his cell. "This way," he whispered leading Sigyn through the prison to the hidden corridor that lead out of the dungeon directly outside. Sigyn looked at him questioningly. "My childhood was spent explore every inch of this place."

Together they ran through the quiet streets of Asgard, ducking into the shadows when anyone was spotted. Loki knew exactly where he was going, and Sigyn followed hoping she could trust him. Soon, daybreak came, but they were well enough out of the city to be relatively safe. Sigyn knew the guards would be aware of a missing prisoner by now and she stopped. She gestured back to the palace and then to him, trying to convey her message. She was met with a grin.

"We will be long gone before they can find us, but we do have to keep moving." Sigyn sighed and they moved on.

Loki lead them to a rocky cliff, and after a brief search found a narrow trail down it. He walked confidently down it while Sigyn shuffled slowly, hugging the cliff wall as closely as possible. Loki chuckled at her fear, "We can't be moving this slowly," he told her. She looked at him, eyes wide and vigorously shaking her head. The escapee sighed and took her hand, "Come now, I won't let you fall." He pulled her along, turning to lead the way, and missing the blush that crept into Sigyn's cheeks. At the new pace they quickly arrived at a cave, that was apparently Loki's destination. They kept walking in towards the back of the cave until a flash of light stopped Sigyn. Now, in front of her was a cave opening leading out to a beautiful view of green grass and trees. Loki had been forced to stop as well because of there still connected hands. He smiled softly to himself as Sigyn looked around in amazement.

"This is what the Midgardians call Ireland, it is an island country west of Europe." She turned to look at him, she was happier than he had ever seen her. "Maybe changing isn't such a bad thing." he thought to himself. "Let's go, there is a town east of here where I have a place to stay. We have to walk there so keep moving." He tugged her gently into motion heading east. Sigyn walked along next to him letting her eyes wander around the beautiful scenery. The odd pair continued on leaving behind Asgard without a second glance.

The End

Well, that got a bit mushy. I do realize that Loki was a bit OoC, but for this situation I don't really care because it is a bunch of nonsense anyway. Hope you liked this happy ending, but do tell me which ending you liked better. BYE
