Sokiara Chapter 2

I managed to sneak out of the huge golden castle without getting caught. I had to find my way through many twists and turns in hallways. I had to be extremely stealthy because I knew that if Thor figured out that I was trying to go see Loki, he would freak out.

When I snuck out of the castle, I asked an Asgardian couple where the prison was. They directed me to where it was and, like a ninja, I was gone. As I was about to go inside, a guard stopped me. "Where are you going?" He asked, his voice deep and strict.

"I'm going to visit Loki." I responded while trying to look confident. He studied my face and checked my eyes for some weird reason. "Sokii!" He said smiling. "You have returned to us...Does Thor know that your visiting Loki?" He acted as though he would kill me if I said no. "Not exactly..." I responded meekly. He thought about it, then eventually let me in.

Two guards escorted me to Loki's cell. As we approached they both said "Good luck" then left. That almost made me want to turn back, but then I heard his voice. "Sokii" He said while turning to see me. He had his deep black hair slicked back. It seemed to feather off from the layers. He was very handsome. "So, you've returned to Asgard" When I saw him, I was almost afraid to speak.

"Come" He said "Let me see your eye color" I cautiously approached the cell and let him see my eye color. "Ah...It's still there" He verified. I was so confused. Why was everyone checking my eye color all of a sudden? "What's still there? W-What are you talking about?!"

"Fiesty." He responded. "I can tell I'm going to like you". He gave me this ominous smile. "Tell me why everyone is checking my eyes!" I said, trying to sound more calm. "Oh nevermind that. My question is...Why are you here? Why have you come to see me?" He asked.

I took a deep breath. "Ok," I said "To be honest...I just wanted to talk to you" Loki got defencive all of a sudden. "Why?! To talk about how I destroyed New York-"

"No." I interupted

"Then why?"

"I dont know...Its just...I just forgot what you looked like, so I decided to come see you."

"And how do I look?"

"Well..." I said with a shy tone. "Dont be shy" He said "If I'm honest with you, will you be honest with me? I do admit, your looking quite beautiful. You've gained quite the looks on your little trip to Earth." I felt my face turn strawberry red. Which that's saying something because, I dont blush often.

"Well...I admit that I enjoy looking at you" I said, my face still red. He chuckled. "I was right...I do like you" He said. I think it was that moment that I became comfortable with Loki's company. And I could tell he was enjoying mine. It must be nice for him to have a visitor.

We talked and talked until the sun rose. We had conversations of how I would cut my hair with a knife because is to stubborn to take me to a barber, and how he found out he is a Frostgiant. We enjoyed each other's company. I even managed to make him laugh. It wasnt his ominous laugh though, it was his actual laugh that made me laugh too. And now, it was morning.

"Looks like you didnt get any sleep tonight." He said. "Dont worry about me," I responded "I can go three days without sleep, then my insomnia starts to kick in. And I'm sure you will have plenty of time to sleep." He smiled. "As if there is anything else to do in this boring little cell."

Suddenly I heard a voice behind me yell "Sokii!" It was Thor's voice. "Oh crap! Im screwed!" I thought to myself. He grabbed me by the wrist and drug me out of the prison. As I was being drug out, I turned to Loki and mouthed 'I'll be back tonight'. I could see his wonderful smile from the distance.

As we came out of the prison, I saw Tren standing there. She didnt say a word. "What were you doing in there?!" Thor asked. I worked up the gut to say "I went to talk to Loki. Is that so bad?" He looked annoyed now. "Yes! But...nevermind that...We have to go to S.H.I.E.L.D. to train with The Avengers"

I'm pretty sure that whenever we go to Earth and back, it messes with my brain because, once again, it was a blurr. All I remember was purple-ish blue and magenta mixing together along with glowing white dots. I knew it was space but it went so fast it was all blurry.

Thor took us to S.H.I.E.L.D. It turns out its actually a flying boat that can blend in with the sky. Its so cool! Tren and I got to meet the whole crew. Tony Stark, Agent Natsha Romanoff, Bruce Banner, Clinton Francais Barton, and Steve Rodgers.

When Tren saw Steve Rodgers, all she could say was "Dad...?" I saw the sparkle in his eyes. He could finally see his own daughter again. He ran to hug her, and the hug seemed to last forever. Tren asked him so many questions, and he gave all the answers. What I got from it was that S.H.I.E.L.D. made a time machine so that Steve could go back and have his date with that lady he loved in the past. They eventually ended up having Tren, but right when they did, Steve had to go back to the present. He took Tren with him in the time machine and so her age is morphed by an hour or two.

"But...why did you put me in an adoption center at a young age?" She asked. "Well, it turns out I had to fight a lot more villians than I thought. I realized that it wasnt safe for you, and so I put you in that adoption center." He explained. "And thats when she met me." I added.

Bruce decided to speak for once. He didnt seem to speak much, but I was ok with it. He seemed nice, after all. "Not to interupt, but can I please see your eyes, Sokii?" I allowed him to check my eyes, just like everyone else. "Why is everyone checking my eyes?" I asked.

"Because" Thor started. "There is a yellow ring around your pupil. That yellow ring gives you the ability to look into people's eyes and see not only the truth, but people's past as well." He amazed me with his words. "That explains so much!" I excaimed. "When I was younger I could see things in peoples eyes that no one else could. I didnt understand how they couldnt see it." I stopped. "Maybe thats why he checked my eyes" I whispered to myself.

Suddenly, everything seemed to stop. "Who checked your eyes?" Bruce asked, calmly. "Was it Loki?" Thor asked. "Wait a minute," Stark said, butting in. "You mean to tell me that she has been around Loki?"

"It was only last night." I rolled my eyes

"So you wanted to see him?

"Yes."

"Why?"

"He's nice!"

"He destroyed the entire city of New York, and you have the nerve to call him nice?!" He exclaimed. Agent Romanoff managed to stop us before the argument got any worse. "Lets just get to training before things get out of hand." She said. I was thankful she stopped the argument. I could tell I wasn't going to get along with Stark.
