We are soon taken back to the helicarrier. Thor insists that I am checked for injuries, even though I vow that I am fine many times. We sit in a small room, I am on the side of a bed, and my brother stands a few feet away from me, ignoring my now silent protests. The only thing that can be found is a cut on my left hand and the gash on my head. Both from my encounter with the huge green beast. I am told that they both needed to be stitched back together, much to my objections, they would heal on their own eventually, but my brother insists I get them closed just to be safe. My hand in injected with something so couldn't feel the pain. I am warned to look away, but choose to watch the edges come together as a man in white starts his work. My hand is quickly closed, I am told to lie down so he can start the work on my other injury.

"Thor…this is stupid they will heal on their own….I want to go see Loki…" I say feeling the cold sting the wound.

"You can go when this is done…." He says still standing at the end of the bed.

I hear a familiar voice come from beside me "Ara….when I'm done here I'll take you too him myself…" Miss Zangari's voice said.

I turn a little to see her leaning up, a curtain in her hand, she is being forced back down by others like the one who was treating me. "Deal?" she says fighting with the men even more.

"Deal…." I say softly as she gives up the war, and the curtain separating us closes. I lay my head back down and notice the same thing that was stuck in my hand hovering above me, this one was bigger. I stick my hand out, and look at my brother.. "Thor…." I say softly scared of the pain I knew I was going to be in. he walks over with a smile and takes my open hand, but he doesn't say anything.

This takes a while longer to be closed. The man finishes and puts something over it. "all done…" he says helping me sit up. "just sit here for a while…don't move to fast.."

Miss Natasha comes into the room just as I am done getting checked over.

"I thought I would tell you two, we put Loki in another glass cell, it's only for tonight since you are taking him home tomorrow. It's in the same place the old one was if you want to see him" she says looking at me with the last bit. The man who was cleaning, and stitching my cuts, has finished his work and tells me I need another injection, he sticks me in my shoulder and then moves out of my way, and I quickly jump off the bed, and run out the door ignoring my brothers pleas with me to wait. I thought I would forget where Loki was before, but it's engrained in my memory. I run into the room seeing Loki in the same spot he was before.

"You're not hurt are you?" he says, as I walk into the room.

"No." I say softly shaking my head. I forget about the newly closed wound on the palm of my hand, thankfully my hair covers the other one, as I place it up against the glass. Loki drags his finger across his side of the glass, running it down the length of the cut. I pull my hand away and try to ball it into a fist, but the medicine I was injected with has deadened my mussels. I look at it unsatisfied and leave it by my side.

"Does it hurt?" he says softly trying to ease my annoyance.

"No...I can't even feel my hand…" I say sitting in the floor in front of his cell, the linctus I was given after the healer did his work, which I was told would easy my pain, was making me want to sleep. He sighs, rolls his eyes, and sits in front of me, watching as I try to fight the medication.

"Don't fight it Ara. Go to sleep. I'll still be here when you wake." He says watching me lose the war against slumber.

Araminta falls asleep leaning up against her brother's prison, a smile on her face, while her brother sits in the floor of the glass room beside her, watching as she slept. The other agents that had been in the room had gone a while ago. The two enormous doors slide open reveling Arina Zangari dressed in the baggiest of clothes that are covered in red white and blue paint smears. She carries a blanket over one arm and a pillow under the other. She knew she would find the missing goddess here. Loki stands upon the woman's arrival shocked by her appearance. He watches closely as Arina wraps a blanket around his sleeping sister, and gently places the pillow under her head. As Zangari leans up she looks at Loki.

"You should get some sleep too. You have a big day tomorrow." Ms. Zangari says giving Loki a smirk.

"And why are you not asleep. Trouble in the Captains arms?" He says giving the woman an evil sneer.

Arina gives him a stern look, knowing he was trying to be tough in front of his sister, even if she is asleep. "Cut the crap Loki. I thought we were past that." She says rolling her eyes. The god gives returning to his vigil beside his sister, in case something, or someone, did try to hurt her, he could stop it himself.

"The last time I saw her sleep, it wasn't this peaceful" The agent says backing away a little from the girl. "Then Thor asked if he could bring her to see you….I'm guessing she was having nightmares." The raven haired woman shifts her weight, and crosses her arms. "I'm also guessing, they were about you…..care to elaborate?"

"This isn't the first time she has done something this insane. Last time she got into matters like this, the outcome left her hurt. Physically and emotionally."

Arina knew that was the only explanation she was going to get out of him. "So, whose older, you or her?" Zangari says wanting to know everything about the two gods relationship to the goddess.

"She is. Although not by much." Arina could see Loki's face soften up for the first time, when he spoke of his sister.

"The way she is attached to you I thought you would be the older one." She said, she noticed that one of the sleeping girls hands on glass wall. "You know I have learned a lot the past few days about gods and goddesses, they can be adopted…" Loki jerks his head up at this comment. "And have family issues…what else should I know?"

"Not only do gods take children and raise them as their own, they cast them aside if they are not what they expected…" he says his focus returning to the sleeping goddess. "They can send the child away when it is only hours old, not caring who exactly raised the child, without a single glance, without holding the infant. watch as the woman they supposedly love greaves over the loss of the child she had become so attached too after the girl's arrival."

"He sent her away…." Arina said looking down at Ara. "What else?" she said wanting to know why the girl was so close to them if she was sent away.

"She was raised to be our friend. Ara was even allowed to play with us when we were children. It was all well until Thor slipped up and questioned her hair color; our father didn't want rumors of who the child's true parents were to start. He stopped it that day."

"So why are you and him so protective of her?"

"Some goddesses are willing to risk their lives for trivial things." His focus turns to the girl.

"If she risked her life it must not have been too trivial, and I can think of two things she would be willing to die for." Arina says looking at the goddess,

"She should have learned her lesson, she shouldn't have followed him."

"She didn't follow him, he brought her with him. He knew that she would be the only one able to talk some since into you. She clearly doesn't care about getting hurt…" Zangari said seeing the pain in Loki's eyes when he talked about hurting Ara. An uncomfortable stillness fell like a haze around them. The sleeping deity turns, making a small hum as she did.

"Leave." Loki says giving the former agent a burning stare. "She's not pleasant when she's awakened."

The young woman turns to leave, giving a snort as she started to walk out of the room. "Me neither…" she stopped just outside of the huge room when she heard the goddess speak.

"Loki…." Ara said softly.

Arina turned around to see what was going on, but the doors had closed. She looks over to one of the computer screens that had been abandoned, by mostly likely an agent gone for more coffee. She sits down in the chair and watches the display. The god had stopped pacing the cell like he was when she left, and returned back to his spot on the floor beside his sister. Ara turned over a little more, balling herself up closer to the wall of the cell. Her hand racing for the glass.

"Shhh….Don't fret Ara." The god said putting his hand on his side of the glass. "I'm here. Go back to sleep."

The girl turned over balling herself up more, before she spoke again.

"Thor told me…about everything." The deity's voice was slow and draggy, the effects of the drugs she had been given to easy her pain.

"And I don't care…..I don't care who you are, or what you are. You're my brother…that's all that matters to me. I don't care about what you did, how you hurt me, because that was in the past. I have one of the only few things I care about back….." the goddess curled up more the smile returning to her face. "And I am never letting you leave again." The girl smiled. "I love you."

"I know Ara….."

Arina smiled at what she saw. This was the first time she had seen Loki act like this. His emotional walls and guards disappeared when his sister was around. This is how she wanted to remember him. Not the same monster she knew everyone else would remember him as, she wanted to remember the broken man she had seen outside the restaurant, the man who would drop everything, for his sister. She would remember both of the gods in that way. She smiled at the image before getting up and heading for her room.

((It's late! Sorry, I have been getting ready for Christmas, making plans for a trip the day after, and my grandmother just got out of the hospital so I have been up at her house helping her do things. This week I will post the last one as well, will probably do it Friday, since Monday is Christmas and all. And in one more chapter you get too find out who I decided to pair Ara with. I am not going to really go back and write in it would take too long and since I am done with the story it would be too much of a hassle. But I will still tell you guys, cause I know some of you probably thought I was going to pair her with stark….nope. You will have to wait till Friday to find out. Thanks for the reads, favorites and reviews!))

((Also, if you haven't, you may want to go and read my first one to get a better understanding of Ara, and her crazy brother sister relationship with Loki. Theirs is a lot more dynamic, so far, then her and Thor's but I am working on that))
