Chp 3

Natasha woke up with a startle when she found Neko sat on her stomach, staring at her, curiously. Natasha, being a trained assassin and SHIELD Agent, felt weird that she didn't noticed the cat was on top of her. It felt like the cat was weightless. "You hungry?", she said, attempting to stroke Neko's head. Neko hissed and jumped away, only to get back to Lucas. "Weird…", she muttered to herself.

Neko went to Lucas who was lightly snoring and still in the land of dreams. She crept next to him and started to pat his head. Lucas groaned and said, "Neko, you know how to open the fridge". Neko rolled her eyes and used her tail to tickle Lucas' ear. "Alright, Neko! I'm up!", said Lucas, tiredly. "This is when Aidan said not to play games to much before bed", said Neko. "Hey, only my mum nags at me", said Lucas, before heading to shower.

When he's done showering, he wore his jeans and green shirt. His mother often had him in green clothing or at least something that can match with the colour green. He went to kitchen and yelled to Natasha, "You want coffee?". "No thanks!", said Natasha yelled back. Lucas set some cat food for Neko and made himself some bread and PB&J.

"What's the plan for today?", Natasha asked as she walked by the kitchen. Neko wrapped her tail around the cat bowl. "Tell her to not even think about taking my breakfast or I'll scratch her little mannequin face", said Neko as she chewed her food. Lucas rolled his eyeas and sighed. "I'm on leave today. I have to take Neko to the vet and do some grocery shopping and get some Neko's food at the pet store. ", said Lucas, "You don't have to tag along. It's not like Loki ever cared about me. I may have magic and mischief, but I'm a mortal. I can simply die by falling unlike him".

"Orders are orders, Lucas. I'll shadow you all the way", said Lucas. Lucas shrugged his shoulder. After breakfast, he took Neko to the vet and pet store. Then, he dropped the cat home and went to the supermarket to buy groceries.

(Meanwhile, in Asgard)

Loki, God of Lies and The Trickster looked upon his fountain and he saw Lucas. Loki sighed. He never knew until one day, Heimdall called him to tell Loki about a boy that resembled him in Midgard doing some mischief on earth. At first he didn't believe it until Heimdall mention the boy's mother. At first it was hard for him and his wife, Sigyn especially, to know that he took a mortal as a mistress, but later she opened up to him of Lucas.

Suddenly, Loki felt someone hugging him from behind. It was Sigyn. "When are we going to meet him, husband?", she asked. "I don't know. Thor had told him the truth and he looked as if his was going to die", said Loki. "I'm sure he didn't anticipate it. We should bring the children to meet him too!", Sigyn said, gleefully.

Loki sighed. He watched the boy as he went through with his life; the loss of his mother when the building crashed, the school graduation and from "Probie" to NYPD detective. He was in grief when Aidan died and Sigyn comforted him even though she was angry at him for having an affair, but the jealousy soon died when one day Sigyn watched the Milligans. She felt sorry for Aidan who thought Loki didn't love her and let the feeling go even though it pained her to do so.

Then, all of Loki's children came out. "Father, we should go and greet him. He is our brother after all", said Fenrir. "SHIELD is watching over him and Heimdall would know if I went to see him", said Loki. "Husband, how you jest. Like you don't know the secret exits here", Sigyn whispered. Loki smiled and said, "Maybe next time. Or you children want to greet yourself in your own way?". Fenrir, Jorgumand, Vali and Nari looked at each other with mischievous looks and Hela could only roll her eyes. The children ended up disappearing, leaving Loki and Sigyn for some quiet time.

(Back on Earth)

Lucas had finished his grocery shopping and went to the bookstore to find new books to read. As he was browsing the Fiction, a book hit him from behind. 'Ouch! What the hell?', he thought. He picked it up as he rubbed his head and read the title called "Mischief Guide in Life". He looked at the book with interest and opened the first page. He was surprised when the empty first page suddenly started to form letters. It said, "Don't panic. We won't harm you. Meet us at Long Island beach and don't worry about the SHIELD agent. We'll lose her for you".

He looked around and to see anyone suspicious but he found none. So, guessing that they'll lose Natasha, he went along. After a few minutes of driving, he noticed Natasha's car was gone. He arrived at the empty beach. He waited and thought it was a hoax at first. That was until he heard growling and saw a huge snake appeared from the ocean and a huge wolf, carrying two teenage boys and a girl half covered with cloak.

Lucas was about to reach for his gun when Vali introduced himself and every one. "We're your brothers and sister", said Vali. Lucas looked at them in awe. Fenrir was the biggest wolf Lucas had ever seen; Jorgumand was a big green snake, Hela was half human and half looking like a corpse, while Vali and Nari looked normal. "Just go with the flow, Luke", thought Lucas.
