Err...is it really that bad? I was actually enjoying this one...but no reviews? I mean...what did I do wrong?...sheesh...it can't be that bad right?...I like Roria and Loki...
Okay, I made this one a little longer than usual for you guys okay? I really hope you like this...
Time past and Roria began to like Earth more and more. She wasn't a Princess, or an outcast. She was practically part of a family. Though, with Steve, it really was family. Steve was everything Roria remembered her mother telling her he was. Strong, brave, smart, and just kind hearted. And she loved him. Things were awkward sometimes. But she called him Dad, and he referred to her as his daughter. It wasn't a perfect relationship, but to Roria, it was. Roria loved her family. Yet, it felt like there was a piece missing.
"Do you miss your home?" Bruce asked as they both shoveled yogurt into their mouths.
Rorianna considered this for a moment before answering, "Yes…and no. Life at home was difficult at times but….I do look forward to seeing my brother when I return."
"Aren't you older than him?" Bruce asked thoughtfully.
"Yeah," Roria looked over at the man for a moment, "so?"
"Well you said your brother is ruler….but wouldn't that have gone to you?"
She tensed up and stared at the floor. "Yeah, but I uhh….turned it down. I'm not really the Queen type."
"Really?" Bruce nodded in a thoughtful voice.
"No one wanted a half human on the throne," Roria finally said lightly with a shrug as if it didn't matter. "So I turned it down because accepting it would mean to be hated by the people I governed. That didn't make much sense."
"Oh," Bruce blushed, feeling stupid for asking now. "Well I'm glad you're half human. We can use all the help we can get."
Roria looked at the doctor for a moment before smiling, "Thanks. You'd be the first."
"Nah," Bruce chuckled, he glanced around to see if anyone else was in the room. "Your dad was definitely the first to be glad you came. And Roria?"
"Yeah?"
"I hope you're glad you're part human someday too."
Her eyes hit the floor and she nodded. "Not that there is anything wrong with being human but I really doubt it."
"Why?"
But she didn't answer; she just walked away with thoughts of her sister in her head.
She got to her room and stepped inside. She looked at the mirror and her eyes went up to her tiara. She took At home she almost never walked in public without her tiara activated. But she couldn't keep it up at all times because her human side was very overbearing. It wore down on her.
There was a knock on her door. "Hey," It was Natasha.
"Hi," Roria smiled lightly at one of the only females, other than Pepper and agents, that she saw regularly.
"I was wondering if you might be willing to show me what you can do with your…crown thing there?"
Rorianna tilted her head to one side and frowned. "Why?"
"Just curious," the other woman shrugged.
Roria cocked her head to the other side. "What do you want to know?"
"How was it made? Will it only work for you? What does it do? What can you do?"
Roria chuckled. "That's a lot of questions."
Natasha smiled. "Yeah, I suppose. But that's what I do for a living…."
"I thought you beat the crap out of people for a living," Roria joked lightly, she really liked the women. She never let her guard down but was very friendly.
"That too."
Roria nodded and took a deep breath. Her tiara once again activated. Her skin gave off a faint gold glow and her eyes were a piercing purple. "It was made by my step father; he was a scientist of sorts. It turns off my human genes which dominate my Morilian ones. With them off, I am able to appear and use the abilities of a Morilian."
Roria pointed to her bed and jerked her finger up, and up went her bed as well. "I can make objects move as I want. Weight is a problem though; I can only move what I can lift. For most Morilians, that's a lot….but with my human strength…."
"That's amazing," Natasha muttered.
"I'm not done," Roria smiled.
To demonstrate her abilities Roria held her hands up in the air with her palms up. A small purple fire appeared there, giving out no warmth but rather, a feeling of happiness. Natasha could feel it rip through her body. A feeling of joy, it surged through her. She stared into the fire.
"This," Roria stated slowly. "Is my power. I can hold a life source, I can reach inside you and take your life if I so deem worth I can destroy it right then and there."
Natasha felt her body begin to give way underneath her, the world seemed to be getting dizzy. But then the fire went out and Natasha stood firm once more. "You can kill people with a single moment?"
"Yes," Roria nodded. "That is why Morilia is so safe. No one is dumb enough to attack my people. It is also why we do not normally leave out planet, because we know that our is too great. But I can turn it off. I've never used the life source power because, I don't want to have that kind of power."
Natasha stared at the girl for a moment until the glowing stopped and her eyes went back to their dark blue. "I can't believe you can do that."
"Yeah," Roria laughed. "You should have seen my sister. She could make an entire room of chairs go into the air with one motion." She grinned widely. "She was one of the strongest I have ever seen! She had the best aim and control. In fact, she once flew a ship using her only her power!"
"That is so cool!" Natasha frowned. "I didn't know you had a sister."
Silence. Deafening silence. "I don't." Roria turned slowly and walked away.
She didn't like talking about it. She wished it had never happened. She wished that she had never loved Lily, or that it would have been her that died and not her sister. Cousin. Whatever.
She ran her hands over her face and moaned. She had a million other things to worry about right now. And one of them was Loki.
They couldn't find him. He'd gone off grid. People who were working for him kept showing up all over, but not working for him anymore. Shield would bring them in for questioning but often, they didn't even remember ever working for the god of mischief. That, or they told them that Loki had pretty much walked up to them and fired them. No reason. Just done.
It was perplexing. What was Loki up to? She hadn't seen him in…what? Two months?
Two months. It was painful. He should have gotten over it. But he couldn't. She had done something to him.
So what could he do? He had to talk to her. He had to know she loved him. He had to know that no matter what he had done, she cared. Even if they couldn't be together.
So he just decided to pop over. He'd been watching her. He knew where she was. How could he not?
She was alone. No one was with her. She'd gone out shopping with the her 'father' but they'd split when he got a call on his phone. Now, Rorianna sat alone in the food court. Not sure what to get.
"I am rather fond of the Asian cuisine," he stepped up and said quietly by her right ear.
She tensed and sucked in a breath of air. "Loki?" She turned to face him with a look of surprise. Her eyes found his and she took a step back. "What are you doing here?"
His half smile portrayed across his face. "I'm rather hungry, you?"
She didn't relax. "Loki, you can't be here. You need to leave."
But Loki just smiled and stared at her. "Well I've been doing some research, and did you know humans also have a way to courting someone? It's rather different then our customs. Here," he grabbed her arm and was actually surprised that she let him drag her over to a food stand. "First, I buy the meal." He quickly ordered some of the sweeter looking chicken and rice.
"And a Coke!" she quickly put in.
He pulled out some money and paid, turning so he could see her.
She was just staring at him like he was crazy. But she also looked like she was fighting back a smile. When he handed Roria her tray, she took it and followed him to the table. They sat off at the edge in the back where no one else was sitting.
"You shouldn't be here," she said after a moment of silence. "After everything you've done—"
"You don't seem to have a problem with me being here, with you," he smiled as he pulled the chopsticks from their packaging.
Roria blushed, "Of course I have a problem with you being here. You—kidnapped me, I…you…damn it Loki!"
He offered some to Roria but she just picked up the fork. She stared angrily at her chicken and he let out a chuckle.
"I couldn't help it," he finally said softly, "I missed you too much."
She looked up to see the sincerity gleaming in his eyes and she softened slightly. "I—I may have missed you ever so slightly. But it doesn't matter. We can't—" She went quiet and looked away.
He captured her chin in his hand and turned it back. "I know. And that is very painful to know."
She leaned into his touch and then she pulled away. "What have you been up to Loki?"
He frowned. "Back to business already?" he smirked. "Well, what do you mean now Princess?"
"The workers, what are you planning? Loki can't you just stop it all and surrender or something. I don't want to fight, I don't want to—"
"I fired them," Loki cut her off. "All of them. Every human working for me. I don't have a plan. I'm not trying to rule the world, I am not planning on killing anyone, and I especially do not want to fight you."
She looked at him skeptically but he looked entirely serious. "Then what do you want?"
He leaned across the table, his eyes capturing hers as he whispered, "I want a lot of things that I can't have."
She swallowed hard and decided to try the Chinese food. She popped a piece of the chicken in her mouth.
They ate silently for the rest of the time but they kept looking up to steal a glance at the other, just to make sure they hadn't disappeared. And when they finished eating Roria looked very much upset. "You're going to leave now again, aren't you?"
"Yeah," he admitted solemnly. "But I'm never too far away."
"Loki?"
"Yeah?"
"I wish you'd just turn yourself in," she told slowly.
Loki turned to her with a smile, which surprised her. "I just might surrender to you someday sweetheart." He winked, and then he was gone.
"I hate it when he does that," she muttered to herself.
