"So," I started.
"Right, give me all the juicy details of you and Fury."
I noticed Loki turn around and raise an eyebrow.
"We just talked about the tabloids and what happened on the ship."
"The tabloids?" Tony asked me suspiciously.
"Yeah, the press was at your benefit and a couple of them did an article on me."
"Oh; was it good?"
"From the sounds of it yes."
"Good, good." He said.
I heard Clint come up behind me. He wrapped his arms around me and swayed a little.
"Tony, if you don't mind I want to steal her for a bit." Clint said.
He wiggled his eyebrows at me and I shot him a glare. I grabbed Clint's hand and he led me into the hallway.
"Why did you need me?" I asked tilting my head to the side and leaning against the wall.
He put his arms on either side of me and kissed me.
"What, I couldn't save my girlfriend from Tony Stark?" He asked and kissed me between each word.
I giggled and hugged him.
"Thank you," I whispered.
He smiled.
"Steve wants to be your teacher." He said abruptly.
"What?" I screeched.
"Not my fault! He said you were still legally supposed to be in school and since he is actually the only one who is qualified to teach he wanted to teach you." He said.
I gave him a glare.
"I hope you know you're a butthead."
"That's mean," he pouted.
"Yup," I said and kissed him.
I ducked under his arm and rushed to the gym to find Steve. I found him punching the crap out of a sand bag.
"Why are you making me be in school again?" I asked annoyed.
"You need an education. Just because you are a fighter doesn't mean you can't be smart."
"Fair enough," I shrugged.
"We won't start today too much going on, but tomorrow eight o' clock sharp."
"You've got to be kidding me." I glared at the super soldier.
"Nope see you then."
With that I knew I was dismissed. I stuck my tongue out at him, very immaturely, and walked away. I walked past Tony's lab, of course he wasn't in there, but the door was open. I slipped in and walked around. It was a rare that I ever got to be in there. I walked around and I noticed that the metal flower that was supposed to be a ring was still unfinished. There was a click and there was a stand that appeared in front of me with a CD on it.
"Jarvis, what's this?" I asked looking at the shiny disk.
"Mr. Stark found a file at Jotunheim when you were rescued, he asked me to decode it and put it on a CD for you." The AI responded.
"A file at Jotunheim?" I asked.
"Yes, it seems your father had an encrypted file there."
I nodded and took the CD.
"I can play it if you like," Jarvis said.
"If you could,"
I put the CD back down and sat down in front of the large movie screen that rolled down. An image flickered to life of a platinum blonde woman.
"Hey Stephanie, if you are watching this it probably means I'm dead. I really wish I would've been able to see you grow up. You might be wondering who I am, but knowing how smart you are you most likely guessed I'm Psyche, your mom."
I took in a sharp breath and continued watching.
"I don't really know what to say, I mean I don't know if your father told you everything; ff you'd met him yet. At the time the video was made you were six months old, and this is you on the first day you were born." Psyche held up a picture and there was a tiny baby with wisps of blonde: me.
"You were so beautiful, you still are. Look here you are," She reached behind her and picked something up.
There I was, larger, my hair had grown longer. My eyes were open with curiosity; I looked at the camera and gurgled.
"Psyche, what are you doing?" A familiar voice asked, and Loki appeared on screen.
"I'm making a video for our daughter." Psyche answered.
Loki smiled at her and sat down next to her. He wrapped an arm around her and around me. I smiled up at him and made a squealing noise.
"Anyways, I'm assuming you met your father at this point, but if not then this is the handsome and charming Loki." She smiled, looked at him, and they kissed.
Baby me made a sound that sounded like I was clearing my throat. Psyche laughed and looked at me. Loki leaned down and kissed my forehead.
"Yeah, that trait you get from your father," Psyche laughed and looked at the camera.
I could feel the hot tears roll down my face.
"I'm not all bad, but I do have work to do," Loki said and walked off camera.
"So that was your father. Anyways I have some advice to give you. Advice number one: No matter what anyone says, you are a beautiful, smart, talented, and strong young girl. Advice number two: Whatever Loki says participating in mischief is not always the safest plan. Advice number three: Never forget who you are. Your world may try and make you someone who you're not, but stay true to yourself."
I felt my throat get a lump in it. I smiled and the tears started to fall faster.
"Stephanie, remember no matter what happens I will always love you." Psyche smiled and turned the camera off.
I choked and the lights came on. The tears were falling so fast that I couldn't see clearly anymore. I grabbed a tissue and wiped my eyes. I stared at the giant screen and took a shaky breath. Even though it wasn't exactly real, I met my mom. I heard someone taking cautious footsteps towards me.
"How long were you there?" I asked composing myself.
"Long enough," Loki responded.
"You really loved each other didn't you?" I asked and turned to face him.
"Yes, I still love her." He said and a faint smile crossed his lips.
"Do you miss her?"
"Yes,"
I smiled a half smile and walked over to him.
"I wish I could've met her now."
"She would've loved you."
I wrapped my arms around him and he returned it. I could feel that his body was shaking.
"There's no need to cry."
He nodded his hand and pushed me back so he could look at me.
"She was right, you are very beautiful, and you look so much like her. Your mother's heart and spirit lives on through you. Never let her memory fade." He said.
"I won't, I promise," I said and smiled.
He pulled me back to him and hugged me tight. Whether Psyche was here or not, we were still a family. A messed up one, but a family none the less.
AN-
AWWWW! Yeah, I had to get this one out of my head. I hope you guys like it!
