Layla's phone vibrated in her pocket, opening the phone she had received a text message from Jane saying that she was outside.

Standing up and frowning she opened the door and saw Jane with Kya.

"Remember what I said on the phone Kya." Layla whispered quietly to Kya.

She nodded her head quickly in understandment and went up the stairs quietly to her room.

Jane closed the door and stepped inside; she made a face of disgust at the man on the couch and turned back to Layla.

"Explain" She said firmly, hands on her hips.

"Come over here." Layla said as she dragged Jane by her arm into the kitchen.

"I was on my way home, and I was stuck in traffic so I looked over at the park and I saw him laying under a tree. He just… looked so cold and sick so I brought him here." Layla said quickly before Jane could get a word in.

"Why don't you just put in a call to S.H.I.E.L.D and they'll take care of it? You do realize this is the insane man who tried to rule over us humans right?" Jane said trying to talk some sense into her curly haired friend.

"I know… I just… look... I know it probably wasn't the best idea, but I had no idea what else to do. Remember when you told me about how S.H.I.E.L.D took your equipment? I just have a funny feeling about those people. I know you told me there good, but they are most likely hiding secrets, I can feel it. How do I know that if I call them they won't torture him or something?" She said twisting her hands in nervousness for Jane's response.

"That should not be a concern to you." Jane had said making a hand gesture toward Layla.

"Well it does, and it should concern you too. You're pretty much in a relationship with Thor right?" She said

Truly, Jane was not too sure, after Thor went back to Asgard to deal with Loki he had said he was coming back, she had waited but he had never returned. That had been a year ago. Still, it would make her very happy to see him again.

"He… hasn't returned to me yet." She finally answered quietly with a sad sigh.

"Well, I know he will soon. Especially since Loki is here. You know that Thor wouldn't want any harm to come to his brother." Layla said placing a hand on her shoulder and giving a small smile.

"I… I guess you're right." Jane admitted softly.

Layla smiled as she was suddenly feeling victorious.

"When he returns to you. Just tell him I've got this under control." Layla said gesturing to the couch.

"Alright fine, you win." Jane sighed defeated.

"But.." Jane started, and Layla began to frown.

"He does one thing, just one little thing to hurt you or Kya, you are going to alert S.H.I.E.L.D immediately and you keep me updated daily on what he does. Got it?" Jane said feeling protectiveness flood out of her toward her friend.

"Got it." Layla confirmed.

"You know I wont be afraid to alert them." Jane warned.

"Ugh, yeah I know." Layla said with an eye roll.

"Here, take these." Jane said as she reached into her bag and pulled out three small objects, then placed them into Layla's hand.

"What are these things?" She said as she flipped the devices around.

"It's a tracking device that you can place around his wrist and a small locator for you to carry. I made those things about a year ago; never needed to use them but clearly you need to. Just put the bracelet on him and hit the small button on the remote to see where he is. It wont come off unless you use the key" She explained as she pointed to the tiny silver key in Layla's hand.

"Plus its water proof." She added.

"Uh... ok thanks Jane." She said still turning the objects in her palm.

"Keep me updated." She reminded as she started walking toward the door, then sending a sharp glare at Loki on her way out.

Layla followed silently behind her and then locked the front door.

"That went better than I thought it would." Layla thought relieved.

She pressed her back up against the door and looked at Loki. After the attack, Layla had made sure to keep as much graphic information about the monsters that destroyed New York from Kya. She didn't want the little four year old to be scared. Once she had been with her daughter again of course Kya had questions about the "scary monsters" but she tried to give her as little information as possible.

She took her time right now to really look at the man. He really appeared to be out of it, on top of the burning fever he had, he was wearing a pitiful excuse for an outfit considering that the jeans were ripped and the black shirt was terribly filthy. She wrinkled her nose up at that while complaining in her head how hard it would be to get the smell out of that outfit. His hair was very oily, oh yeah she was diffidently forcing the man to take a shower when he got up. No way was she going to resort to burning that couch. She also needed to give him a new change of clothes, hopefully her ex husbands clothes would fit him.

Tip toeing as quietly as she could, she quickly clicked the tracker over his thin wrist and turned away.

"Dang it" She thought as she went to retrive her purse.

She reached all the way down to the very bottom and pulled out an inhaler

Layla had been diagnosed with asthma when she went to the emergency room at about seven years old, she had been running the track at her school and started having an asthma attack during her second lap. Since then she had been given two different inhalers. One was her daily one that she needed to take four times a day, and the other was one that she used as a rescue inhaler if she started having an asthma flare up. despite having to take an inhaler four times a day, flare ups would occur often but usually only if she coughed a few times or was sick. She would always keep both inhalers in her purse just in case.

After Layla had taken her four puffs for the day, she placed the inhaler back into her purse and added the small remote and key inside it, She then quickly went up the stairs and knocked softly on Kya's door. She smiled when she noticed her playing with a Barbie doll.

"Is the man still sleeping?" Kya said with a whisper like she was sharing a big secret.

"Yes, so we need to stay quiet." Layla whispered back knelling by her daughter on the ground.

"Kya, I need you to listen to me ok?" Layla said seriously staring at the blond.

The child turned, and a lock of her blond hair got in her face.

"The person on the couch's name is Loki. He might be staying here for a while ok? I need you to try and give him some space alright? He seems sick; want to come in the kitchen with me to help make him some soup?" Layla said smiling gently.

"Yes, I can be your special helper!" Kya said happily then slapped a hand over her mouth when she realized that what she said was loud.

"You will always be my special helper." Layla laughed.

"Let's go." Layla said as she grabbed the child's hand and proceeded to walk to the kitchen.
