"I don't understand. What happened?" Loki asked.

"I touched the cube and I guess now I am the cube or whatever. Look, you just can't take your son from me without introducing yourself first and the way you took him, it was like you were kidnapping him. You scared the poor child to death. He had no idea who you were; I didn't even know who you were." Katelyn paused to take a breath, "Look, all I'm saying is that you need to apologize to him and explain everything. Spend some quality time with him. Just be a father." Katelyn finished sitting in the chair that Athan had sat in.

"Oh." Loki said dumbfounded. He hadn't thought about that.

Katelyn rested her elbows on her knees and rubbed her face with her hands. Loki stood there not knowing what to do. He watched as Katelyn sat up and grabbed her phone out of her pocket. She tapped in a number and put it up to her ear waiting for the ring.

"Hey, Sean. I can do the shoot tonight at six. I'll meet you there at 5:30." Katelyn said glancing at Loki.

"That's terrific! We're doing the Coloring Paris shoot for spring." Sean said happily.

"Sounds fun. Um, I may have a few people with me. Is that ok?" Katelyn asked leaning forward.

"Hun, I don't care if you bring in the Avengers." Sean said, "In fact I definitely wouldn't mind with that Captain of theirs if you know what I mean."

"God, you're so gay." Katelyn laughed.

"And loving it! TTYL sweetie. Tish is getting mad that I'm ignoring her." Sean said apologetically.

"Tell her to shove it. See ya." Katelyn said hanging up.

"That was Sean, my photographer. I model part time." Katelyn said looking at the prince of Asgard who stood there nervously twisting his hands.

"Cool." Loki said watching his hands.

"Cool? Who taught you that?" Katelyn said with a smile. She stood putting her phone in her pocket and stretching out her wings.

Loki watched the feathers puff up before lying down smoothly. He looked like a lost little boy. Loki heard Katelyn say something about paperwork but he wasn't paying attention. He watched as she repaired her shirt with magic.

"Loki? Did you hear me?" Katelyn asked.

"Huh?" Loki said looking at her with startled alertness.

"Dominic is my adopted son. I sent in the rest of the paperwork last week. I was going to tell him for Christmas. You know the holiday that's tomorrow. You have to get Athan something. I already got gifts for Dominic so you don't have to worry about him but you really don't have to get him anything because he's not your son." Katelyn finished quietly; she was plucking at her wings distracted.

"Two sons." Loki mumbled.

"Yep." Katelyn said distracted, "I have to get everyone back home." she said turning to go out the doors of the big warehouse. Loki took long strides to catch up to her.

"Ready?" Loki asked taking her hand. He teleported the two of them back to the helicarrier.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000000

"Ouch." Katelyn mumbled drawing her right hand to her other side.

"What's wrong?" Bruce asked looking over at her.

"Nothing." Katelyn whispered back, dropping her hand and turning her attention back to the meeting. She got Janet and Hank to take the kids back with Athan to her house.

"Come with me." Bruce said gesturing for her to follow him.

"Here. Let me take a look." Bruce said gesturing for her to lift her shirt so he could check the damage.

Katelyn looked at him wearily but complied. She lifted the left side of her shirt up to let him see. His brows furred down as he bent down to take a closer look. He gently lifted her shirt up further to take a look at her back as well.

"You have some pretty good bruising along your side and back." Bruce said looking up at her, "May I?" Bruce asked gesturing to touch it.

"Yeah." Katelyn mumbled watching him from the corner of her eye.

She winced when his fingers brushed over a welt on her lower back from the fall. It was about a six-foot drop onto her back so the bruising and the welt didn't surprise her. Banner was in deep concentration running his fingers lightly over the darkened skin.

"I may have to do a body scan to see if you have any internal damage. That means I'll have to take you back to Stark Tower." Bruce said standing and taking off his glasses.

"Great." Katelyn sarcastically said lowering her shirt, "Let's go then. I've got a shoot at six."

"Let me grab my bag and we'll go.' Bruce said walking behind on of the counters and grabbing an old leather duffle bag. It was small enough for him to carry at his side.

Katelyn grabbed a pilot on the way to the quinjet. He asked where to go and Bruce told him. They were in the air in minutes. The ride was filled with very little small talk between the two agents riding in the back.

"Thanks." Katelyn said to the pilot as Bruce and her exited.

"Anytime." The pilot said winking back at her.

"Perve." Katelyn mumbled turning away from the plane.

Bruce just chuckled looking at her amused. There was a bright flash of light and suddenly Katelyn was gone. The only thing left was strange markings on the roof of the tower. Bruce tried to stay calm as he regained himself.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000

"Ah." Katelyn yelled free falling.

She turned over on her front and spread her wings trying to catch herself but was still going to fast as she tried to land. Her feet hit the ground but she kept going so she tucked and rolled landing roughly on her back. That was not her best landing. She stared at the shiny gold ceiling of where ever she was.

Katelyn groaned, "That's not going to help anything." as she rolled over on her good side and pulled herself up.

"I'm terribly sorry for that." a loud but kind voice said.

"Allfather?" Katelyn questioned turning towards his voice. She stared at him sitting on the throne for the longest time.

"Yes, I brought you here for your trial." Odin said gesturing to the men of the court sitting at two long tables at the bottom of the steps on either side.

"Trial?" Katelyn asked looking at each of the men.

"Yes, for the murder of the one the midgardians called Electro." Odin said shifting a little in his seat.

"Oh." Katelyn mouthed rising her eyebrows remembering the scene.

"We have all come to an agreement." One of the council members spoke. It was the one who disagreed with her on how Loki's punishment should be. She tilted her chin up a bit and looked him square in the eye.

"Oh have you now?" Katelyn asked haughtily.

The council member gulped and continued, "The council has agreed to keep you here in the palace at all times while being accompanied by a guard at all times until seen fit."

"And what of Loki?" Katelyn asked crossing her arms still looking at him with a hard stare causing him to glance everywhere but at her.

"He is free to go where he wishes as long as he causes no harm." The short man said shifting his weight from foot to foot uncomfortably.

"And my sons?" Katelyn asked turning her glare to the king.

"I was not aware you had a son." Odin said with surprise.

"Sons, with an 's' at the end." Katelyn said stuffing her hands in her pocket and lifting her chin a little slouching casually.

"May I ask who the father is?" Odin asked leaning forward.

"Loki is Athan's father and Dominic is adopted." Katelyn said turning away from the council heading for the giant golden doors.

"Then they shall be brought here to be taken care of by your hand." Another council member spoke from the second table.

"Dominic is mortal. He shall not be brought here." Katelyn said over her shoulder stopping in her tracks.

"He doesn't have to be." The king of Asgard said from the throne.

"I will not put my son through such pain!" Katelyn hissed whipping around to glare hard at the king.

"I was just giving you an option to let the boy live as you do." Odin said keeping his cool.

"To live as I do? What, under lock and key in a palace with a guard glued to his ass? No. I won't allow it." Katelyn said trying to cut off the argument.

Odin look astonished at her tone, "Then he shall live a short life and die at a young age compared to us." He said crossing the line.

"Compared to us?!" Katelyn burning with anger, "There is no us because I'm not Asgardian, I'm a freaking cube. A cube that has untold power that apparently is me. Why didn't you tell me? Huh? Because you thought I would join Loki in his quest to take over Midgard or even go off on my own to start Ragnarök. Is that what you think of me?" Katelyn's skin hissed with heat and magic started sparking from her fingertips.

"What?" The short member of the council asked looking up at the king.

"The council is dismissed." Katelyn snapped.

"But your majesty…" The man started.

"Go." The allfather said looking at Katelyn with masked curiosity.

The members stood and filed out of the room. Katelyn snarled at one of the men who looked at her with fear. Odin sat watching her with calculating eyes. She stared right back with wild anger in her eyes. Once the doors were shut, Odin stood and stepped down the steps slowly.

"You haven't even said hello." The king said folding his hands together.

"I think it's time to say goodbye." Katelyn said turning to leave once again.

"You haven't met your guard yet." Odin said stopping a few steps away from the bottom.

Katelyn sighed stopping and turning around, "Let's see 'em."

One of the far doors opened and out walked a man about six foot with dark hair and bright blue eyes. He walked standing straight probably because of the dark black leather armor he wore that had bits and pieces of dark blue fabric weaved into it.

"This Dallas. He will be your guard." Odin said as the young man stopped at the steps next to the Allfather.

"Fascinating." Katelyn mumbled sarcastically giving him an up-down before motioning with a finger for him to come closer to her. Dallas walked quickly to her stopping a few steps ahead of her. Katelyn circled him looking him over finding his weak points and personality by the way he held himself. She circled once more before hitting him with wing as she walked past his right side. Katelyn shot the Allfather a smirk as the young man stepped off to his left catching himself.

"Let's go." Katelyn said pushing open one of the windows of the room.

"What do you mean? I can't fly." Dallas said looking at her with confusion.

"Not my problem." Katelyn said looking up at the sky while standing on the window ledge.

She winked back at him before jumping.
