Muspelmeim was hotter than the sun, or very, very close to it. Jane feared out loud that she wouldn't survive long on this alien planet. But Loki reassured her that she would if he kept casting a cooling spell on her every 20 minutes.

He had kept forgetting that Jane was a mere mortal, and mortals temperatures couldn't stay at a certain level for long periods of time.

Of course.

The realm had a orange hue to it. Destroyed pieces of what seemed to be a white and red colored castle were scattered around the warm ground, tall trees with bright orange leaves swayed slightly with the warm wind that blew and made Jane sigh softly in irritation.

Why did Thor want to meet here of all realms?

She casted her brown orbs to the blue, cloudless sky. She saw dots in flying in the sky, 4 of them in fact. Her eyes widened as she saw wings sprout from the dots. She looked to her side to see huge caves around the area, but they were in the far distance. Something sparkled in the caves, something silver and gold.

"What does this realm have?" Jane asked as she stepped over a small, orange rock following after the Trickster God. She was sweating, only slightly because of the spell Loki had casted, he himself could not stay in the realm for a long period of time either. Due to his Jotun heritage, heat was his only weakness it seemed.

Loki had even told her about New-York and his almost successful plan. He had no clue why he was telling her about his heritage, his thoughts during the war on New-York, about himself. After this mission he would never see her again, so why did it matter? And more importantly, why did she care so much? He had even added in his reason for destroying Jotunheim, how Odin would never be proud of him.

How he would never have a place in Asgard.

How he would always be second to Thor.

The Golden child, the legacy.

And Loki would just be, Loki.

With no place on the realms, no place in the universe, no place to call home.

Without a father, he had a mother, the only woman who was worthy of the title.

Frigga.

"Fire demons, mostly. And dragons." Loki answered as he stepped over a broken down branch with a small grunt, keeping his emerald eyes forward. Jane struggled to keep up, as usual. He had longer legs than she did and he walked as if in a hurry. Considering the situation, she would be walking the same. She tried to swallow down her panic at the mention of demons and dragons.

"What's the sparkling things in their caves?"

Loki even turned his head to follow her gaze. "Gold. Dragons tend to collect shiny objects, they're fascinated with it."

Jane nodded, she would never admit it out loud but she kind of liked the sound of his voice, it sounded like it was wrapped in silk, it held confidence and intellect and something powerful.

"What happened after you fell from the Bifrost, where did you fall through?" She asked, she was probably being incredibly nosy, but at this point she hardly cared.

Loki tensed at the question, the memory flooding back to him unfortunately. He had fallen through a series of wormholes, the dark and disturbing jungle of space.

"Lots of wormholes, Miss Foster. It was dark and quiet, too quiet. The kind that makes you go insane when with it for a long period of time. I'm not exactly sure how long I fell, but eventually I landed."

"Was there heat in space?"

"Yes, even hotter than this realm we're in right now."

Jane nodded, though Loki could be an annoying prick at times, she truly did feel for him. All he wanted was to be Thors equally, to be looked proudly upon, to be liked, to have the same privileges.

Thanks to her always clumsy feet, and the uncomfortable Asgardian shoes she's wearing, and the universe wanting to fuck with her today, she trips over he feet and crashes head first into Loki. She gasps and grabs his leather attire on his hips to steady herself, Loki turns around quickly with a scowl on his face at the gesture.

"What are you doing?" He demanded it more than question her. Jane quickly let go and straightened out her blue dress, her face heating up.

"I just tripped as all. Don't worry I would never hug you."

She tried to sound annoyed in her tone but it sounded more embarrassingly nervous than anything. Loki kept his questioning gaze on hers for a moment, a small smirk started to tug on the corners of his lips at where she had grabbed him.

He believed her of course, she was the most accident prone mortal he's ever come in contact with.

Oh, she wanted to smack that smug smirk off his face.

"I would never want you to hug me, walk beside me, Thors going to give me hel if you get lost or end up dead." He started up his walk again and Jane caught up easier this time.


"Do you know who your mother was?" She asked after a couple of moments of silence. Loki wishes she could keep her mouth shut until Thor came. The duo decided to take refuge in a cave that was big and deep enough to hide in from the dragons that patrolled the realm.

"No I do not. And frankly I have no interest in finding out."

"Why not? I mean, you have to get your jet black hair and green eyes from somebody."

Loki wondered if there was a spell to mute a persons voice box forever.

Jane fiddled with the fabric of her dress as she was slowly melting in her shoes, she could really go for a cold strawberry milkshake right now.

"From somebody that did not want me.." His voice was quiet, thoughtful. He didnt meet her gaze, instead his attention was turned out to the chaotic realm outside. He watched as a dragon spewed out fire from his mouth, burning a tree with orange leaves until it was nothing but twigs.

Dragons in Muspelheim will destroy anything. Even if its not even alive.

Jane felt her heart tighten as his quiet words, her eyes gazing at his handsome profile. "I'm sorry."

Loki waved his hand dismissively, turning his attention back to her saddened face. "Do not give me your pity, Jane Foster." His tone wasnt rude, but rather reasurring. Jane offered him a small smile and crawled over to seat herself next to him.

"Even though you're the most annoying God ever, if its any consoliation, you're pretty good company."
