A/N: My updated will be irregular but I will try my hardest not to take longer than a week and for that reason the chapters will be short but there should be a lot of them so hopefully that makes up for it. Also just so you get a better image Loki's style is more punk rock with his hair still slicked back but in more of a punk way than a royalty way, and he has small gauges like size 16. Thor just opts for whatever is comfortable while still keeping it "socially acceptable.

It was about a month later and for the most part Thor and Loki had managed not to do anything too serious. I mean sure they found themselves making out when they were alone and had nothing better to do,but its not like they did much else other than the one time when they got high and and ended up grinding to orgasm. But other than that..

Now it was nearing the 4th of July which meant that they would have to sit through some uptight fake barbeque while all the partners from the firm Odin worked at tried to, not so subtly, up stage one another.

Loki was lounging in his bed reading when he heard the doorbell ring followed by a light but kind of rapid knocking. He was halfway down stairs when Frigga came from the kitchen.

"I got it, honey."

He started to head back upstairs but when Frigga opened the door he couldn't help but stay out of curiosity.

There was a woman standing there. The was middle aged and very beautiful. She had long black hair cascading down her back in a long braid with an emerald green ribbon woven in, and even a few what looked like real emeralds placed throughout the braid. She was wearing what one could describe as a hippie outfit; a long brown skirt, a beige camisole covered with a green knitted poncho with tasseled ends, and black combat boots. If Loki was honest he would say her outfit reminded him of the guy from Emperors New Groove. But that's not where her beauty was. It was in her features. Her bright green eyes rivaling Loki's own. Her face perfectly symmetrical with high cheek bones. She was the epitome Da Vinci's outline for perfect human beauty. Loki was instantly drawn to her and he didn't know why.

"Oh hello! You must be Frigga. I tried to call a head but I was redirected to the wrong number. My name is Farbauti. I've been trying to contact you and your husband for weeks now. After multiple failures I've decided to come and pay a personal visit." the woman. Farbauti sounded authoritative but her body language said she was nervous and her eyes were hopeful, almost on the verge of tears.

"Might I ask what this is regarding?"

"Its a long story but if you let me in I will tell you tell you the shortest version possible."

By now Loki had hidden himself from out of sight at the top of the stairs and was watching as Frigga hesitantly let the other woman in. When they were seated in the kitchen he stealthily made his way to the the wall separating it from the living room and settled in to listen.

"I was going to wait until your husband, Odin, got home but I have a feeling that my failure to reach you has something to with him. Ahh... My apologies I didn't mean ti offend you or him, it was a simple observation." Loki can only assume the look Frigga must have given her.

Farbauti cleared her throat before continuing. " November the 18th 1996 you adopted a little boy, an infant correct?" Loki's heart skipped a beat then started pounding so loud he almost missed Frigga's response.

"Who are you and what do you want?" Her voice was low and dangerous. It was the tone that even Odin couldn't help but submit to.

There was the sound of a chair scraping against tile as she responded, "I'm his mother." Farbauti's tone was back to being authoritative.

Another chair scraping tile and Frigga came back with "That is impossible she died in a car accident if I'm not mistaken" her voice was now just a harsh whisper.

"I was in an accident yes, but I didn't die; I was in a coma for a month and when I woke up they told me my child had died as a result. It wasn't until a month ago that I found the proof of his life on my soon to be ex-husband's safe." there was a pause before "He's here, isn't he?" her tone was softer now.

"Yes." It was barely a whisper.

"I see. I would like to see him, if that's okay with you. Not necessarily today but preferably soon. I'll leave before I cause any trouble, but please consider it. Here's my info so you can contact me. If you want to talk more about it first just call. The last thing I want to do is rush things."

In a split second decision Loki decided to reveal himself because if one thing is for sure he wanted to know the truth and he wanted to know it now. Almost immediately he locked eyes with the woman who claimed to be his mother.

"Loki! How long have you been there." Frigga almost looked frantic when she saw him.

Breaking eye contact with Farbauti he asked "Is it true?"

"Loki..."

"Is. It. True?" he cut her off before she could say anything else.

Of course it was at that moment Thor came home. "Mother? Loki? What is going on? Loki are you all right?"

Her continued silence was enough of an answer for Loki. He was enraged. He wanted to hit something, someone, anything really. He wanted to scream and he wanted to cry. There was even little part of him that was filled with joy, but the other emotions easily overpowered them.

Everyone just stood there in dead silence for a few seconds before finally Loki erupted into laughter.

Thor was obviously worried. "Loki?"

Loki's laughter died down enough for him to turn to Thor and answer. "Apparently I'm adopted, and this is my mother... my birth mother, Farbauti." he was readying to leave but with one last look into Farbauti's eyes full of hope and unshed tears, trying so hard to keep her composure, he felt a sudden urge to speak with her. "We can go somewhere and talk if you want. I don't either of us wants to be here when Odin gets home." he made sure to use Odin's name rather than calling him Father, something he's done since his early teens when they were on bad terms, which was more often than not.

"With all do respect," Frigga said to Farbauti before turning to Loki, " we don't know this woman. How are we to know what she says is truth?"

Before Loki could rebuttal Farbauti intervened "I'm sure people of your stature have a complete record of your children's DNA, yes? Mine is enclosed in the folder I gave but if you wish for additional testing I will be happy to oblige. And its fine if I were in your position I would feel the same." Farbauti's eyes were showing more hope by the minute and even if Loki had wanted to change his mind he sure as hell couldn't now. Despite what most people thought he wasn't completely heartless. He just made it seem that way so he wouldn't find his heart broken around every corner.

"Thor will come with us. That way you know we are safe and you can talk to Odin alone, get him calm and call us when he's ready to be a civil person, and not a lawyer." he didn't even need to ask Thor he knew the blonde would have insisted on coming either way.

"Only if its in a public place." Frigga relented albeit reluctantly.

"Shall we go then? I've got the perfect place." he motioned for Farbauti to lead the way. "I'm assuming you drove here?" a nod of affirmation, "I think it best to go separately. Just in case." he made sure to keep his face devoid of any sincere emotions, and to seem completely indifferent.

The thing is though, if Loki was honest with himself, he couldn't deny the bond he felt to this woman. I mean yeah, he loved Frigga, she did raise him, but there was something undeniable there. An ethereal connection he couldn't quite describe. Quite frankly he couldn't wait to get to know her and even if it turned out she was lying he doubted he could stay away from her lest she did something truly heinous.

A/N: That is all for this installment. Again I am looking for a beta reader. Like to the point where we don't even have to be formal, like we'll just exchange emails and do it that way. Thank you for your time don't forget your imaginary internet desserts on your way out. See ya later.
