Thor covered up Jane with a spare blanket as she lay dosing while Vanessa sat in the back of the ship with Loki wrapped in another blanket also asleep. Using her shield during their teleportation was a hard strain on her mind.

"What I could do with the power that flows through those veins." Loki commented as Thor say down on the edge of the ship.

"It would consume you." Thor replied.

"She's holding up all right, for now." Loki said.

"She's strong in ways you'd never even know." Thor told him.

"Say goodbye." Loki told him.

"Not this day." Thor looked back to Jane.

"This day the next a hundred years its nothing." Loki snapped as he stood up. "It's a heartbeat. You'll never be ready, I wasn't. The only woman who's love you prized will be snatched from you like Vanessa was snatched from me."

"And will that satisfy you?!" Thor snapped back.

"Satisfaction is not in my nature." Loki replied.

"Surrender is not in mine." Thor told him.

"The Son of Odin…" Loki began.

"No…not just of Odin." Thor said as he stood up. "You think you alone loved mother? You had her tricks, but I had her trust."

"Trust?" Loki repeated. "Was that her last expression before she was almost killed? Trust? When you let her fall into harm's way?"

"What help were you in your cell?" Thor snapped.

"Who put me there? Who out me there?!" Loki yelled.

"You know damn well!" Thor yelled back as he pinned Loki back. "You know damn well who." Thor barely held back his fist then pulled away completely. "She wouldn't want us to fight."

"Well she wouldn't exactly be shocked." Loki replied as the two chuckled lightly.

"I wish I could trust you." Thor lamented turning away.

"Trust my rage." Loki replied darkly.

"How in the heck is a girl supposed to get some sleep with the two of you going all sibling feud at the top of your lungs." Vanessa grumbled as she sat up rubbing the side of her head.

"Just getting some trust issues out of the way." Loki said as he sat down next to her kissing the top of her head.

"Getting them out of the way or making them worse?" Vanessa asked giving them both a knowing look as they both looked rather sheepish. "After this is all over we are going to have a major sit down with you two and Frigga and Odin, because this is getting ridiculous."

"Vanessa…" Thor started.

"No, you are both well over a thousand some odd years and you're acting worse than a pair of kids." Vanessa said sternly. "We are fixing this one way or another; I will not have our children grow up in a strained environment. Lord knows my father is going to be bad enough without adding this all to the mix."

"Jane." Thor said noticing Jane who had sat up and was starring ahead of them as they flew through the air. They all saw it at the same time, a large dark elf ship descending from the sky.

"Malekith." Jane breathed out.
