AN: I don't own Thor. But I wonder who started the Lokane fandom. Whoever did, you have my respect.

"Midgard," Jane repeated. When she was younger and was getting into astrology, Jane had read plenty of Norse mythology so the word sounded very familiar.

As Jane thought, Loki tried to get up and almost did, only to crash back into the ground with a grunt. Jane rushed to help him and noticed tears running out of Loki's eyes.

"Oh my gosh I am so sorry!" she looked at him, ashamed, "I got so caught up with whether or not I should be afraid of you, I completely forgot that you are the one hurt and here I am being so selfish. Forget Midgard and realms for a moment, let's get you to the lab, you must be in so much pain…"

Loki looked at Jane, surprised by her worry. She barely knew him, why was she so concerned? But he watched the mortal get up and start brushing sand of the blankets and folding them up. Loki noticed how small and fragile she was. Jane brushed the desert sand off his hair too, too quick for Loki to process the sudden action. Then after setting her stuff next to his armor, she looked at him, sizing him up. Loki noticed his ridiculous shoes again.

"Did you place these strange contraptions on my feet?" he demanded, eyes narrowing.

Jane blushed, "Well, yeah. You looked cold and I needed you to stop shivering and those are really the only comfortable socks I own. My other ones wouldn't have fit your feet, sorry they're kinda girly." She smiled at him and he forgot his anger. Still, he scowled at his feet when Jane wasn't looking.

Then he noticed Jane walking towards him, her eyes determined. Was she going to attack him? He panicked. He didn't want to hurt the girl, but his safety did come first. As she leaned towards him, Loki mustered up some magic only to see Jane, very gently move his arm and give it a tug towards her.

"Stop me if it gets painful ok?" Jane whispered soothingly, "We're gonna get you to the house over there and I'll call an ambulance to help you. Don't worry about anything right now."

Her proximity made Loki feel rather secure for odd reason. He like how she smelled. But he wondered why she was treating him like a baby. He was a God, he didn't need her service.

The voice in the back of his head reminded him that he did.

With Jane coaxing him to stand, the two, with much effort, managed to end up on Jane's navy couch. Loki had not complained once but Jane knew he was in unbearable pain. His left arm was definitely broken because when Jane draped it across her shoulder, she felt him stiffen and quite smoothly, she switched to the other arm, much to Loki's relief and amazement. She was a healer, Loki was sure.

Jane was in pain too. Loki was not light. He had a hard body which was uncomfortable, for both of them, Jane was sure, to move. She wiped the sweat off her brow and noticed Loki's eyes were watching her, both of them panting. She tried to smile and held her hand up.

Loki looked at her, not understanding.

"What? British people don't high five strangers?" Jane asked, her hand hanging in the air.

"Please understand, half of the things you say, I don't comprehend."

"Is it the nasal accent?"

"Accent? No, it's your Midgardian references. They're getting on my nerves, if I were to be honest."

Jane studied him and when he caught her staring, she looked at her hands.

"So, you're Loki. Do you have a last name?"

"A last name. Do mortals need a second name?"

"Mortals? What are you a God?"

Loki looked at her as if she was the crazy one, "Are you saying you've never heard of me? How far is Midgard from Asgard? I suppose it must be a far distance, heavens you all are very uneducated."

Loki expected Jane to be angry at the insulted but she just had the confused expression. "Are you…"

"Am I? What?"

Jane gasped. "You're Loki. The God of Mischief."

Jane shot up, and sat back down and then got up again.

"You're real and you look just like the drawing, but more human, what…have I lost my mind? OH MY GOD I'M SCHIZOPRENIC!" Jane slumped to the couch holding her head and started crying.

"Lady Jane, is something wrong?" Loki looked at Jane in alarm; she looked like she was going insane.

"I can't believe this is happening."

Loki watched Jane wrap herself into a ball and hide from Loki in plain sight. She didn't move.

It was awkward for Loki, watching Jane lose her mind. But he decided to heal himself first. A half an hour later Loki's arm was working again and his back still ached. He was still in pain, but he could move on his own. Loki was quickly exhausted from his attempts and closed his eyes. When he opened them again, the room was darker and he noticed that his torso was bandaged. He raised his head and saw Jane, who was at the kitchen island, surrounded by books.

He tried to move but couldn't.

Humiliated, he called out, "Um, Lady Jane?"

Jane shot off her stool and like a bullet headed straight for Loki. Always so concerned, Loki thought to himself.

"Hey." She settled on the ground, near his head so all Loki had to do was turn his head.

"How're you feeling?"

"I'd feel better if I wasn't restrained," Loki said, warning in his voice. Putting a God under restraints never ended well for anybody.

"Restrained? You are so strange. These are bandages and they're there so you ribs can heal. I may have called the hospital after my, um, breakdown. I called an ambulance thinking they could fix you, and if you were really a figment of my imagination, fix me. Thankfully, turned out, you are real. But don't worry I didn't let them stay cause I didn't know if you'd have like four lungs or two hearts or something. But a nurse stitched you up and gave me some meds. Really the only benefit of this small town is that the hospital is underfunded so the doctors usually come to you rather than you having to go to them. Convenient isn't it?"

Loki didn't know when he started smiling along with Jane. Of course he dropped his grin when he noticed, and stiffly said, "This is highly unnecessary."

"I thought that, well after the nurse left, I did some research," she said, pointing to the kitchen island. "Gods heal faster than humans. Figures."

"Not just that, I can also heal myself." Loki wanted to get this girl to stop helping him. He didn't like being in debt, especially in debt to a mortal.

"No way!" Jane said, eyes widening, her mouth dropping. "Show me!"

Loki rolled his eyes. She's like a child.

"I would but the contraption on my stomach is restraining me. I need you to remove it."

When Loki realized what he said, he blushed, only to find Jane blushing too. Jane had never seen a guy shirtless except for in movies and such and when she tried to watch the nurse's mini-operation, she got distracted by the half-naked God. Eventually, when she couldn't stop fidgeting, she had left the room, her face burning. Loki had never been tended to by anyone except his mother and the old healers in Asgard.

Jane was a healer too, wasn't she? That's what Loki thought.

But then Jane quietly told him, "I don't think I can."

Is she uncomfortable for the same reasons as me? Or is she repulsed? She did call a different healer earlier as well. Do my scars disgust her?

That hurt Loki. He wanted Jane to like him.

"Why not?" he challenged her. He didn't want to be near her anymore.

Jane looked at his angry mood and looked away quickly, biting her lip.

"I'm not qualified."

"You told me earlier that you were a healer."

"And when did I do that?"

"When you told me your name. Doctor Jane Foster. A doctor is a healer, no?" Loki waited, silently fuming at her stupidity, until Jane burst out laughing.

"You are so cute," she giggled, "I think Darcy's little cousin once asked me the same question."

Loki did not want Jane to think he was simply "cute".

"I am Loki. The God of Mischief. I have been in battles, have ended realms and civilizations. I am not cute." He said "cute" as if it were a dirty word.

Which made Jane laugh even harder and she laughed out, "Says the guy wearing blue fuzzy bunny socks."

Ah, curse the hell-spawn bunnies, the softness weakens me. Loki pouted, feeling defeated. Jane giggled and reached out and stroked his hair and whispered, "You really are an adorable God." She began stroking Loki's hair out of his eyes and Loki melted under her touch, but the adorable moment was gone. It was replaced by a more serious atmosphere, however Jane couldn't help but move closer. His hair has soft and her hand was gentle.

The silenced deepened as the stared at one another.

Loki's hand came up and tucked a lock of Jane's her behind her ear. She immediately blushed. His close his palm over her cheek and felt it warm under his touch. Jane's heart was beating uncontrollably. His thumb stroked her cheek. Her fingers tightened over his hair and she gently tugged. Loki's eyes drooped and his fingers coaxed her towards him and soon their faces were inches apart. Her minty breath clouded his mind and his green eyes made her blush even harder. Loki closed their distance and Jane's eyes closed, she felt his nose brush his and then…

One of Jane's machines beeped loudly and Jane flew back from Loki, the shrill of the sound scaring her and she bumped into the coffee table. Loki's hand stayed mid-air and his eyes were still wide and dark, the hunger in them still present.

The machine beeped again and Jane quickly stood up and walked to her room, away from the Loki and the machine. Her door slammed shut and she sunk into her bed, her hand over her pounding heart. Suddenly she felt exhausted and she smiled as she stroked her cheek where Loki had and she fell asleep with her hand resting on her cheek.

Back on the couch Loki ran his hand over his raven hair, an easy smile appearing on his face.

Maybe Midgard wasn't going to be as bad as he thought. And maybe all mortals are like Jane.

But regarding Jane, for Loki, one thing was clear.

I love her, Loki thought as he fell into a deep slumber.

AN: Now I know some of you might be like, "Well that was quick. How can Loki fall in love with her so fast?" Well, you see, Asgardians, and some people in real life, don't really question or think through about falling for people. They both have this bond but Jane is a woman of science so she'll admit her feelings later, but she's compassionate by nature so she won't hide her love. Thank you for reading, I hope you liked it! THANK YOU and review and let me know if this new development or if you felt like things are going to fast cause then I'll slow it down. Let me know and stay tuned :)
