A/N: I am really sorry for my absence. IRL caught up with me. I will try to post new chapters more consistently but due to IRL I can't promise much over the next year. Hopefully I will finish this before IW part 2.
Given that I wrote only half wrote this chapter over a month ago and can't rember where I was going with this it's really short, sorry about that.
Once Balder had left with all the Midgardians, Asgardians, untransformed hybrids and Jotun, Loki sat down on the floor and started drawing a rune circle around herself. Balder came back, having pointed them in the direction of New Asgard just as she finished drawing it.
"What are you doing?" He asked on his return.
"Setting a trap." Loki smiled. "When Hydra returns they shal endure the same pain they had caused the previous occupants here." She stood up and took Balder's arm. "Come, brother. We need to make sure everyone is comfortable in their new home." She lead him out of the dank hole in the ground and back to New Asgard.
During the hours that they had been going around finding more Asgardians, progress on the inner walls had begun. At this point half of Asgard was made from tempory shelters hastily built, the other half of semi constructed walls. Loki was happy with the progress made so far. He hadn't even needed to call upon the Disir to help again.
The Jotun that had been save from the cluches of Hydra were being welcomed with open arms by the once dead Asgardians. It was a friendliness Loki did not know the Asgardians had in them. It seems that once all had been reduced to their bones, then they would be able to see companionship between them for a fair number of them had suffered at the hands of Hydra together.
Loki walked towards them, his arms outstreched in welcome. "Brothers, Sisters, this will be your new home and tonight we shall feast for tommorow we prepare for war." as the Asgardians and Jotun cheered she turned to Balder who stood behind her. Grasping his arm and pulling him forwards, she lent in and whispered into his ear. "These are your people now, and you shall rule over them."
"But Loki," he protested, "You have more right than I do."
"Nonsense Brother." She smiled as she continued to guide him. "You are true born. I never wanted the throne, and you have more leader-like qualities than I ever will." As he opened his mouth to protest some more, she placed her finger on his lips, shushing him. "Now, go speak to your people, get to know them. I shall go make preparations for tonight, in celebration of the end of Ragnarok. And to welcome those who survived when they land later on."
Balder turned at the last sentence Loki spoke, "Those who...?" but Loki had already disapeared from sight. Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Balder aproached the crowd, to mingle with the new people in new Asgard.
