Sorry this chapter is boring and short, I've got writers block. Still, I hope you enjoy this chapter at least a little.

"Okay, please explain to me again why you married Loki." Tony asked.
The four were currently on one of SHIELD's jets that were transporting them to SHIELD's Helicarrier, and Tony was continuing to ask Luciana why she married Loki as she shook from her fear of heights
She shakily sighed. "I already told you twice, he wasn't always like this. He used to be kind and gentle." She said as she adjusted her now awake daughter on her lap.
Tony snorted and leaned back in his seat. "I find that hard to believe."
"So do I." Was Luciana's worried response.
"And another question," Tony said. "Why did you use the name Coleridge?"
"It's an alias; I can't walk around Earth with a name like Cyrusdottir. I would sound mad." She explained.
"Well, anyway," Steve spoke up. "Can you tell us anything about Loki that Thor hasn't?" He asked Luciana.
"Most likely not," She replied. "Thor at this point probably knows more about him than I do." She said as she gestured to the thunder god.
Steve sighed and nodded as he leaned forward in his seat and put his elbows on his knees.
Aviana began to squirm in Luciana's arms, and she let out a small cry of discomfort as her mother refused to let go.
"Little diva, isn't she?" Tony said as he watched the squirming child.
"Just a little," Luciana admitted, trying to hold her daughter in place with her shaking hands. "She's usually calmer than this, but she's had a rough night."
Tony nodded. "Has she met her siblings?" He asked pulling out his phone and tapping at it.
Luciana and Thor looked at Tony in confusion. "Siblings?" Thor asked curiously.
"Yeah," Tony said. "Loki has more kids, doesn't he?" He asked looking at the confused Asgardians.
Luciana shook her head. "Look," Tony said handing her his phone. "I have the Norse mythology site up right now, read it."
Thor walked over to Luciana and they both read the paragraph on Tony's phone:
"Loki Odinson, son of Odin and Frigga, brother of Thor. Loki is the handsome Norse God of Mischief, though he goes by many names, such as 'Lie-Smith' and 'Sly-One.'"
So far what Thor and Luciana had read was true, apart from Loki's parentage, of course. Luciana put her finger on the screen and scrolled down more, reading the next paragraph:
"Loki is married to Sigyn, the Norse Goddess of Fidelity, who bore him two sons, Vali and Narfi. Loki had soon grown tired of his wife and began an affair with the giantess Angrboda, who bore him three more children, who became three fearsome monsters. They were, his son Fenrir the wolf, his son Jormungandr the sea serpent, and his daughter Hel ruler of the dead. He also bore Odin's eight-legged horse Sleipnir when he disguised himself as a mare and became mother of the horse Svaoilfari's child."
Despite herself, Luciana burst into hysterical laughter with Thor and caused Steve and Tony to jump and Aviana to cry. Luciana then let out a snort and covered her mouth to cease her laughing.
"How did you mortals ever come up with such a tale?" Thor asked, calming himself only to return into another round of laughter.
"Yes, your mythology, I'm afraid, is quite wrong," Luciana giggled through her hand as she handed Tony his phone.
"So Loki doesn't have any more kids?" Tony asked.
Luciana shook her head, smiling broadly. "No, he didn't mother Odin's steed, nor is he married to Sigyn or ever had an affair with a giantess."
"Then who the hell fathered, and mothered, all these kids?"
Thor shrugged. "Others," He said, smiling. "Loki did court Lady Sigyn for quite some time, yes, but their courtship ended not long before he met Luciana."
"But isn't Sigyn like the Goddess of Fidelity or something?" Tony asked. "Doesn't that mean she like forever loyal to her partner?"
"Yes, it does," Luciana explained. "But let's just say Sigyn was a little too loyal and felt betrayed when Loki spoke to other women, even just to ask the time."
"So in other words, she was an extremely clingy and controlling girlfriend who had some jealousy issues, and Loki got sick of it and dumped her?" Tony said.
"Yes," Luciana admitted. "Even after they ended their courtship Sigyn still acted like his consort and Odin gave her the title of the Goddess of Fidelity because of it."
Tony laughed. "So she must really hate you!"
Thor nodded for Luciana. "Oh yes," He laughed. "When Luciana's marriage to Loki was announced, Sigyn begged Loki not to go through with it and told him Luciana was planning to run away with a stable boy. Then she locked Luciana in a prison cell for a day or two, until Loki, who was starting to believe Sigyn, finally found her."
Tony laughed more. "So what happened to Sigyn afterwards? She get thrown into prison?"
"No, her father was one of my father's good friends, so she was taken from away from the palace and banned from entering." Thor explained.
"Well that must have been a smack in the face for you." Tony said to Luciana.
"Well, I'll admit I did want a better punishment for her, and I spent a couple days fuming over the fact that she didn't, but soon I was able overcome it." Luciana told him.
"Wow, you didn't even try to get back at her?" Tony asked.
"She did," Thor said. "But before she could Loki locked her in her bedroom and reminded her that marrying him was a suitable plan for revenge."
Tony burst into laughter again, and Steve only looked at the laughing Tony as he frowned. "Now isn't the time to be laughing, Stark," He said seriously. "We have to find a way to get Loki to tell Luciana where the Tesseract is."
"Well that should be easy! All she has to do is sweet talk Reindeer Games and pretend that she loves him." Tony said, gesturing to Luciana.
She kept silent and looked at the child in her arms, avoiding the gazes of the three men. She knew Loki would never tell her where the Tesseract is. As soon as he sees her he would know she was up to something and refuse to tell her anything. But even if he chose not to tell her anything, she was determined to make sure Loki's world domination plan failed. She started to think about how Midgard would be with her husband ruling it, and all she thought of was chaos and destruction, making her shiver.
"Luciana?" Steve's voice broke her out of her thoughts.
"Hmm?" She responded, removing her eyes from her daughter and placing them on Steve.
"Do you have a plan to get Loki to tell you about the Tesseract?" He asked.
"Well, I could try to act like I love him," She started. "But our last encounter wasn't the most romantic."
"So? That was like back on Asgard, wasn't it? It's been, what, like a year?" Tony asked.
"Actually I saw him last night." She admitted.
"What?" Tony and Steve shouted at the same time.
"He came to my flat," She said shaking her head. "He demanded that I become his Queen, and then when I refused things got violent."
"Well you couldn't have told us that earlier?" Tony asked sarcastically.
"It didn't come up! Besides I told Thor!" She defended herself, bouncing Aviana on her lap.
"This is true. I am aware of the battle that occurred between Luciana and Loki." Thor said.
"Well, whatever. Do you think you might be able to convince him to tell you?" Tony asked.
"I'll try," Luciana said. "But I don't promise anything."
"Looks like you'll be trying pretty soon," Steve said getting out of his seat. "We're here."
Luciana got up and looked out the window before gasping. "Wow...we're really high up." She said as she completely ignored the giant Helicarrier in front of her and instead looked at how far away the ground was from where she stood; now remembering her deathly fear of heights.
"Scared of heights?" Steve asked.
Luciana nodded as she fought the urge to vomit. "You just noticed?" She asked worriedly.
"It is alright, Luciana," Thor said to the woman that had now begun to shake again. "The aircraft is quite sturdy."
Luciana only nodded as she held her baby closer to her.
This was probably a bad idea.
Okay so sorry that was pretty much useless, like I said, I've got writers block. But I really wanted a chapter where Luciana was on her way to SHIELD's Helicarrier, but since I couldn't get my mind to make up very good dialog, I settled on the dialog that kinda makes Sigyn look horrid and explains that Loki has no other children.
Oh and we also found out that Luciana is scared of heights and her Earth alias is Coleridge. Not important but whatever.
Anyways, I'll post the next chapter hopefully soon and try to make it through my writers block.
Please review!
