AN: I started this at my grandmothers on Wednesday (America's Tuesday) cause, well, almost a week without power was getting to me and my brother….so I wanted to watch 60 Minutes, sue me. And then when we got there, I sorta just watched Marvel and Tim Burton…..XD. Longest five/six days of my LIFE!

As of Saturday, the power was back up.

Thank you to: igottoomanyloves, LokiLover101 (LOVE your name btw!), Thortastic (STILL, your name has my friend in tears), LabyFan23Sis, LabyrinthFan23, Maggie says hi (I still don't get why you posted that Mags) Yummmmm. Your reviews made me smile.

Disclaimer: Yeah, I totally own Thor, that's why Loki and I are ruling the world and Thor is in chains with the damn snake's venom dripping into his eyes. No, of course I do not own Thor! It belongs to Marvel. Why would I be writing FanFiction if I owned Thor, it would be the real story! =p

A massive thanks to Labyrinth Fan 23, my AMAZING BETA! Her awesome story, 'The Man Who Fell To Earth'is almost at 50 Chapters! *GASPS* (just so you know, I am not a big fan of oneshots, so when a story reaches 50 or more, I am like *clicks furiously at 'next button'*).

I have two new polls up and running. One is just one for the sake of having one (Who is the sexiest out of the Marvel characters?) and there is another one concerning this fic. Please vote on it! Both, or just one if you wish. The one concerning this fic will not close until, well, maybe c10, if everything goes according to plan.

Now, at the end, there is a little Loki bit, but C5 will explain how he gets there and all, so this is like a step forward, then C5 is one step back, then five steps forward if you get what I mean.

Truth and Lies

Chapter Four: Goodbyes and Hellos.

'A forest bird never wants a cage.' – Henrik Ibsen.

(Signe's POV)

"Mama! Mama! We need to go!" Audrey yells out from outside my room. I wave my hand and everything quickly packs itself into suitcases. I turn and look in the mirror. I am wearing a singlet top. The main colour is forest green, the bust has the army camo colour design and there is a silver belt to separate the bust from the torso. My pants are also army camo, long, baggy, but not with as many pockets as what the original uniform has. My shoes are green and black converse with black laces. I click my fingers and my bags are in the truck. I pull my hair up in a high ponytail with my black hair ribbon. I touch my necklace as it shimmers out of view. It is a heavy pebble, an amazing green. It looks like my mother's eyes.

"Mum!" Audrey calls out.

"Go get Rag, then I'll be right out!" I yell back as I take one last look around my room. Swan and I already transported all of our books and musical stuff (which was quite a lot of things) and got our house basically under control.

"Sister." My brother's low voice grumbles. "This was yelling outside my door." My brother is 6'4, very soft physically, very strong mentally and cold emotionally. His hair is shaggy, long and black. His eyes are a plain, normal hazel colour and his skin is deathly pale. His clothes are a grey shirt, a pair of black jeans and black converse. In his ear is a plain, emerald stud earring.

He pushes a scared Audrey towards me. I pull her into a motherly hug. "What were you doing!" I hiss as I magically check her mental status and her physical health. Her body is outlined with a purple shine that looks like the aurora lights, Dark Magic.

"None of your business." He hisses back.

"If it affects my child, then it does!" I growl back before picking her up, placing her on my back and walk out, slamming my shoulder into his, knocking him back. "We are leaving in five minutes, Teme, be ready." I growl angrily.

I love him and all, and before our banishment, he was extremely fun. But, now, he is just…I can't even describe him.

"Brother problems?" Swan asks as I place Audrey down, her body shaking in fear.

"Yeah, did Black Magic in front of-" I nod my head towards my daughter.

"Damn Fairy didn't have much patience, did he?" I snort at her comment.

"Much like Logan." I grin as I grab the keys to the truck. "I'll take Aud, you deal with him." She cracks her neck. "Calmly and nicely as possible. I need to talk to Charles, I think Audrey would love to see Hank again." I smile as Audrey noticeably perks up. "Come on then." I grab her arm and walk out.

"See you there!" I call out before she has any time to object.

I drive well out of civilisation in our black pick up that we have named Ironhide, as, well, Aud loves him.

As I drive, I concentrate, visualising the driveway to Charles' school. I hiss under the weight of what I was carrying. Finally, I hear a faint pop and an 'ooh' from Audrey.

This tires me right out, but what can I do? I stop the truck and slide out. I take a deep breath a look up, only to see the long walk ahead.

"Mama, why are we so far away from the school?" Audrey asks. I take her hand and try to transport. I wait, but nothing happens. Sighing, I levitate us to the school.

"Charles!" I mentally yell out, trying to find the professor. "Charles!"

"Calm your mind, child, I am in Cerebro." He calls back. "Leave Audrey with Anna and come in, I have something I want you to try." I roll my eyes, but I bob down and talk to Audrey.

"Honey, I need you to go find Rouge for a while." She nods happily. "If you see Storm, what do you do?"

"I ask her how to control thunderstorms instead of just rain." She quotes.

"Good girl. Off you go." I stand as she runs off. I turn and walk down to Cerebro.

"Charles?" I ask once I am outside the main door.

"Open up the door, Signe, I'm not going to bite." I chuckle and tap my left foot twice, making the door open. I slowly walk in and the door closes behind me.

"Charles." I smile at the man in the wheelchair. He turns and nods his head as a greeting, smiling softly. "You know I can always heal your spine."

"You said that at the beach, you say that every time you come here. There is no need, I happen to like my wheelchair." He says kindly.

"But I owe you so much." I grin as I walk forward. "What was it you want me to try." He passes me the metal helmet (1). "Oh no, we tired this once before and I almost died." He pushes it into my hands.

"You said that you owe me something, try and find at least one mutant." He moves out of the way as I step forward. I sigh and place the helmet on my head and concentrate. I feel the metal of the large, rounded object fall away and human figures appear.

"Now what do I do?" I ask as I stand in the middle of the busy school, each person is nothing but a shaded, dark red human blobs.

"Focus on one particular place." I hear his voice. I nod once and think about the Canberra's DFO. Everything seems to move and the world rushes past me, before slowing down to a large car park. I look around twice before growling.

"How can I tell who is human and who is a mutant?" I ask softly, feeling my concentration slip slightly.

"Depends, normally the colour of the humans differ from the mutants, but because of your advanced mental state, it maybe a little different."

"You mean because I am an 'alien'." I chuckle as I look around quickly. "Humans are either blue or black, mutants are red." I tell him as I look around quickly. "Around fifteen mutants, but it is all blurry. Can I stop?" I ask as I whine.

"Go a try and come back to the manor." He instructs. I rush all the way back to the school and into Cerebro. The machine rebuilds and I take off the helmet and my knees buckle.

"Never…..again." I hiss in pain.

"At least you aren't unconscious like last time." I look at him and raise my eyebrow.

"It has been changed, updated even. Hank changed Cerebro for me, didn't he?" Charles grins sheepishly. "You haven't changed in the last forty years (2) at all Charles." I smile. I stand and crack my neck. "Logan here?"

"Yes, he came two nights ago." I nod and move around him to go to the infirmary.

"I'll be careful to aviod him then." I grin with a quick wink.

"Thanks Hank." I roll down my sleeve as he removes the needle.

"Still sticking with the army clothing?" I hear someone ask.

"Hey Storm." I stand and walk over to hug her. "Five years is too long."

"Yes, it is." I step back and sigh.

"Have you seen Aud?" I ask. "She needs to ask you something and then we need to get to New Mexico pronto." Hank and Storm chuckle.

"New experiment?" Hank asks playfully.

"No, I-" I pause for a second. "-need to meet with someone there."

"Boyfriend?" A familiar voice asks loudly. I sigh.

"No, Logan. Stop acting like a big brother." I turn to look at him. "Still can't tell me anything about home?" I ask, he shakes his head. "Right, look, I have to go soon. Does Ari have a message for me or not?"

"Your father-" He spits out the word. "-has ordered me to kill you." I giggle.

"Move down here, it is fun to mess with the humans." I grin crazily. "Where is Rouge?"

"Outside, Audrey is with her." Logan says.

"Cool." I start to walk up the stairs. "Oh, Logan, if you decide to go back home, tell Ari I said 'screw you.'" He nods once. Suddenly, my 'X' burns. I rub it softly and groan. "Storm, could Audrey stay a couple of nights. I have something I need to deal with."

"Ragnarok?" All three of them ask at once.

"By the feel of it, yeah. Black Magic again." I explain softly. "Audrey can't handle being around the stuff." I sigh. "God, I hate it when I need to rely on you." Storm puts her hand on my shoulder.

"We don't mind." She says softly.

"But I do." I push my way out of the infirmary and out to the garden to explain my predicament to Audrey.

"So anyway, I know he is the Bringer, but I don't know how to handle him first up." I quickly tell Charles as we walk (well, I walk, he wheels) the outside of the school.

"I think you should show him that he can be loved, it might slow down the process. Then, maybe introduce the idea that he and his brother may not be related, but will have the brotherly bond they have had since childhood." He offers.

"What about my heritage? When should I tell him that? And the traditions that I worry about so much?"

"That will be up to you to decide." He stops for a moment. "Signe, I do not have all the answers, however, I can offer advice when it is needed. If you need anything, just come here and I will try to help."

"That's all I can ask for." I sigh. "Thank you for the heads start." I look at Audrey trying to float around orb of water in front of her. "And thanks for taking care of her. It is just until I can get him out."

"He is more than just the Bringer, isn't he?" Charles asks in a fatherly tone. I smile sheepishly.

"I have reason to believe that it may be…." I trail off.

"Ah." He says wisely. "Don't let Logan know." I crack up laughing.

"He would murder the poor guy." I chuckle weakly. The burning sensation doubles suddenly and I groan. "Okay, I really have to go, but thanks for the advice Charles; you are more of a father than Ari will ever be." Charles smiles and thanks me. "Can you tell Aud that I had to run, but I love her and I will see her soon?"

"Of course."

"Bye Charles." I say before teleporting myself to my truck and that with me to New Mexico.

(Loki POV)

How could I have been captured? That black weapon hurts more than when Thor placed his hammer on my chest, and that hurt. Imagine Midgard's weight on your ribcage, then times that by one thousand. That is how it felt with Mjolnir was placed on top of me. Now times that by ten, that is the pain the black contraption caused me.

Now, I am stuck, in this useless, grey cell, waiting for some way to get out. I hope Thor never finds out I am here, that is one family reunion that I would gladly miss.

I am lying down on a metal bed, the roof is a plain, silvery grey colour. I notice no one is wearing green, just red, yellow and black. What is wrong with green?

Great, two days in this box and I am slowly going insane.

Suddenly, there is a shift and a part of the roof is removed. A tall, slim female falls down. She is wearing black pants, a black shirt and a black belt with all sorts of contraptions around it. Her hands and up to the middle of all of her fingers are covered with black, leather gloves.

"Who are you?" I ask rudely. "What are you doing?"

"Getting you out." She says, her sapphire blue eyes glowing with amusement. Her ebony hair is up in a, I believe what Midgardians call, a 'pony tail'. It looks nothing like the tail of a small horse! She is pale, like me, and about five feet and nine inches. I notice that she is wearing a large, green pebble necklace. Finally some green around this plain room. "And as for who I am," she smiles as if she is about to tell an amusing joke. "I am your guardian angel."

1: Didn't know what else to call it.

2: I just estimated the years between the beach scene in First Class and the second X-Men movie.

Just a quick question, should Logan get hitched with anyone? Review your answer. If I get enough OK's, I might have a little competition…..

Also, sorry it was a very short, quick and speedy chapter but I want to get some real action in.

See you with C5!

Allie.
