Chapter 4

Loki began observing the young midgaurdian as she was writing something in her book. She wasn't paying attention to him. It didn't matter to him as long as she kept her distance from him he would do the same. Loki turned his attention back to the book he was reading.

Stark was out at the moment so it was just him and Stacey. Then he felt himself being grabbed from behind. It was Clint.

"Finally!" Clint said. "Do you know how long I have waited to get you alone?" Clint was looking at Loki with a crazy look in his eye and shoved Loki against the wall. Loki didn't respond. He knew this was coming. "I'm about to knock you into next week for controlling my mind and making me hurt my friends." said Clint as he was holding Loki by the neck.

"I don't think my brother would like that very much." said Loki but only barely as Clint was starting to grip his neck tighter.

"He isn't even your real brother!" said Clint. As Clint was about to swing his fist directly into Loki's face he stopped.

"YOU LEAVE HIM ALONE!" Both men turned to see Stacey standing right next to them. She started putting her hands between them in a feeble attempt to break up the fight. Not wanting a witness, Clint let go of Loki.

"You're lucky she's here." said Clint as he released Loki from the choke hold and let him drop to the ground.

"Are you ok?" Stacy asked as she helped Loki up from the ground.

"I'm fine, thank you mortal… I mean Stacey. I had everything under control." said Loki proudly and with a scratch to his voice from being choked.

"Oh, well then next time I'll just keep my mouth shut and watch you get punched." said Stacey as she and Loki walked into the living room. Loki looked at the book she was holding. It was brown leather with an owl lock on it.

"What is that?" He asked.

"Oh, that's my diary. It's something to write down thoughts in." said Stacey. Loki looked at Stacey puzzled and then asked, "Can I get one of those?"

"Of course, you can go to the store with me tomorrow and we will get one."

"I don't think Stark and the others will let me leave unless I am with one of them" said Loki.

"Well then we will just take one of the Avengers with us, I'm sure they can spare one Avenger to take a run to the book shop." said Stacey.

"Ok, I don't think they will go for it, but go ahead and try." said Loki.

"If not, I'll just get you one myself." said Stacey. "What colors do you like?"

"Green, Gold, or Black." Said Loki
