Jane grabbed hold of Darcy's hand and hauled her out of Loki's embrace. So Loki turned his glare onto Jane.

"Don't glare at me" Jane hissed, in a sudden burst of bravery. "We are not getting involved in your asgardian shit, so we are escaping to the lounge while you go talk to Odin" Jane still had hold of Darcy's arm so she pulled her along the hall and into the front room, before Loki could object.

"Why is he here?" Darcy whispered furiously when she collapsed on the sofa. She had a mind to go and yell at Odin for the shit he put Loki through with secret adoption/kidnapping. But she knew that would be the worst idea in the world because he would crush her without a second thought, especially after being yelled at by a mortal girl.

"I have no idea" Jane replied. "But whatever it is, it can't be good. I mean as far as I know, Thor hasn't spoken to Odin in months…Odin only gets in contact when an 'occasion calls' and the only occasion was to load Loki off onto him."

"What now, do we just stay here and hope nothing big and explosive happens?"

"I guess we do, Loki doesn't have magic so he can't go crazy with it"

"Yeah but Odin has magic and … you can see where that could go, If Loki gets mad Odin might be all powerful and crush the whole world to dust"

"Im sure he wouldn't do that, Thor said he is wise, and if he did go crushing the world to dust im sure Thor would do something, I mean he has pretty powerful powers and stuff" Jane flinched as a yell was heard from outside. She had no idea who it came from though.

"Crap" Darcy muttered at more yelling was heard coming from Loki. A flash of lightning made them both jump out of their skins.

"ENOUGH" boomed a voice outside that Darcy didn't recognize, which meant it had to be Odin's

"This isn't good" Jane said shakily. Neither of them said anything; instead they just tried to listen to the commotion outside, which was pointless because since the yelling had stopped, all they could hear was the occasional murmur. After what seemed like hours of straining their ears the door to the house opened. Loki stormed in, through the hall and straight into his room. Next entered Thor, although much more calmly, although his body was tense. They both started at him, expectantly.

When he didn't say anything Darcy said. "Gonna elaborate on what just happened?"

"Odin wished to have words with Loki about the situation of living on earth and if he felt remorse for his actions yet. Loki didn't reply but instead demanded his magic back and" he paused for a while, thinking about something.

"And..." Darcy prompted. She knew it was none of her business but she was nosey and she wanted to know.

"He refused to give it back to him, not yet anyway."

"Wait" Jane said quietly. "So what did happen?"

"I am sure my father got some perspective of the situation. And now he wishes to speak with you" he looked towards Darcy. Her blood turned cold. That explained why Thor was so tense.

"What" she said very quietly. Don't be scared she whispered inwardly to herself. She didn't get scared often but this was different, this was Odin the alldaddy or whatever. Most powerful being, king of a whole realm or something ... she made a mental note to actually talk to Thor or Loki about Asgard and stuff because she was finally realizing how little she knew about it and its inhabitants.

"Do not be afraid, he won't hurt you, but" he paused "Try not to be rude"

"Oh that helps, how do you not be rude, that's like telling a lion not be all growly and …" she trailed off as she got up. "See you on the other side" she said trying to calm her nerves. She walked as normally as possible to the door; she took a breath as she opened it and walked out the door. She walked down the steps and to her left was a man. A big strong looking man. Grey/white hair and beard and an eye patch type thing on one of his eyes. He didn't say anything he just looked at her. She wanted to break eye contact but she was not letting this dude get the best of her. Eventually he spoke.

"You are Darcy"

"Yes" was all she said. She was proud that it came out strong and unbothered. Crap she was meant to not be rude, and sounding unbothered probably wasn't the best way to go. But it was too late now.

"You have entranced Loki"

"Errrm, what" she was unsure to what to reply.

"You may not see it as that, but you have. I could tell when Thor spoke of you"

"Right" she said, still short of words. "Listen, i-" but he cut her off.

"I think you will be good for him, I can tell. You seem the type not to let anyone order you around. I only do wish my sons had chosen women of Asgard." Well he was still classing Loki as a son…I wonder how Loki would take that.

"Okay, im still confused as to why you wanted to see me"

"I wished to speak with you because I ask you to help Loki feel remorse. He does not, and he must. He cannot live like he does. Hating on everything, it is not the way"

"Why don't you tell him that and help him yourself."

"He does not listen; he resents me for my actions when he was a child and for his punishment and my removing of his magic."

"Well he does have a point" she said before realizing what she was saying. Oops, but Odin's demeanor did not change.

"He may have a point in your eyes, but I ask you, does that justify his actions?"

"Of course not" she said fiercely. "I was just stating that he does have a right to be a little peaved off at you"

He did not reply, he merely nodded at her statement. "I do warn you though, though I think you are best for him, it is another matter if he is best for you"

"Confusing" she muttered. He chuckled at her.

"Love is an unsmooth course" Darcy almost choked as he used the word love. But she didn't have time to think on it because he carried on. "Now I will take my leave of you." And with that he turned and left... just like that. Phew, that wasn't as bad as she thought it would be. Was she rude? Maybe a little … but she didn't swear at him, so that was good. She turned around and entered back into the house. Jane looked up immediately.

"I don't even know" Darcy said.

"He agrees with you and Loki" Thor said as a statement.

"He does, which is why I don't even know" she left the room before Jane could bombard her with protest and questions. She walked down the hall and laid a gentle knock on Loki's door. When there was no answer she took a chance and opened it. Loki's eyes were focused on her as she peeped around the edge of the door.

"You may enter" He said. She held back the temptation to laugh.

"Cheers" she said and plopped herself down on the floor next to the bed.

"You choose the floor?"

"Why does everyone always question why I like the floor? The floor is nice, okay" she said frustrated. Obviously not at the fact of him question the floor but at everything. What did Odin mean but she was the best for Loki. That made no sense. It didn't, she was … and life and this and UGH! Why is everything so fucking complicated. Why did she have to go get herself involved with the God of Mischief and his homicidal past? "So Odin spoke to me"

"He what" Loki almost spat.

"Woah calm down. We just had a really confusing chat; he didn't roast me on a fire"

"He should stay away from you"

"Still really hate the guy huh?"

"Yes" he hissed. "Why wouldn't I, do you think I should love him as a caring father" he said sarcastically. "You think I should forget the things he did. How he took my magic through a most painful procedure and how he is refusing to return it me, even though it is rightfully mine. How he says I need to feel remorse when he does not even feel the slightest bit sorry for how he took me in my infancy and did not tell me of my heritage. Favouring Thor all those years –" his voice was rising with every word.

"Woah ok, I get it" Darcy said cutting him off in mid-sentence, trying to get Loki to calm down. "I understand why you hate him, I would to, but you sure it wouldn't just be easier to try and let things go… you know move on"

"NO"

Darcy didn't flinch at his sudden anger. "Yeah you're right; I would be exactly the same in your position. But maybe less of the world domination. I would leave that to the cats"

"What? Why cats?"

"You know because they say cats and world domination … you know what, never mind, just me in all my craziness."

"I like you in your craziness"

"You are one crazy dude, Loki. But what did you mean 'most painful procedure'?

"He took the very essence of me away. Do you expect that to be a pleasant experience?"

"Well no"

"Well then" he snapped.

They were both silent for a while. When it became completely apparent that there was nothing more to be said between them at the moment she got up and silently left.

Sorry that was truly awful, why are you people even reading this? Ahaha.
