Cold Hands and a Warm Heart
Bella and Loki went to see Carlisle, they stood together in front of him. Bella begged for Thor to be taken care of. "Why, Bella!" he murdered my son, your husband, Renesmee's father. We gave him what he wanted that didn't please him, he wasn't content! Carlisle was adamant. "Let him die on the front lawn, the wild animals can picnic on him." Finally, Loki spoke, "Sir, if I may, before I came here I promised Thor that I would tell the nation I was sorry for my crimes against the human population. These last few days I have spent here have taught me to "care" for others, not thinking only of myself, with your permission and help, I should like be able to fulfill my pledge to my brother, for once I desire to keep my word." Carlisle stepped out of the room, moments later he returned, he motioned for Jasper, and Emmett to carry Thor indoors. They took him into his private operating room, they placed him on the table. It angered Carlisle to see him dressed in full reglia, while Loki was wearing tattered clothing. So he did what surgical skill required they ripped off the armour, he tore right through the mithral with a scalpel. The red cape landed on the floor in a heap. Jane was helping Carlisle prep for surgery. They managed to stop the bleeding in the chest cavity. Evidently Mjolnir had done some grave damage. He placed Thor under anesthesia, and when the surgery was over, they all had to wait.
Hours later Jane and Carlisle went to check on Thor. He had come out of the surgery, but was not fully awake. Next came Loki, Thor lay still on the operating table. Loki spoke to him, "I do not know what to say to you, Brother, if you had listened to me this, all of this would not have happened. I told you that these people were not going to hurt us, you became enraged, the stories from childhood haunted you. This man saved your life, even after you destroyed someone very precious to him, why, because he took an oath. After you are healed, we will go to the the Washington, D. and C. where I will apologize for my crimes against humanity. However, let us understand one another, Brother, I am not doing this for you, but for my Isabela, the sweet child, to whom I said he will not harm you. So, you see Brother, am I not the Liar after all."
Thor motioned to Loki with his fingers, Loki leaned over his massive brother. He could barely manage to get the words out, "thank you, Brother." he whispered, his eyes moistened with tears.
Later that evening Carlisle, spoke privately to Loki, "I just realized that you haven't been on a proper date with my daughter-in-law. I want you to take our car and go into town, I'll give you one of my best dress suits to wear. I want this to be a special night for you both to remember, you can not know what you have done for this family." Loki did start to object, but Carlisle waved his hand in the air. Just then Loki looked up see Bella dressed, provocatively, with a low cut ,sequined black dress, her long black hair unbound. Jasper swept by and remarked, "it ain't gonna be all that proper of a date is it, Bella?"
"No Jasper, it isn't", she replied, looking at Loki, when their eyes met she winked at him, then Loki's eyes burned a bright red, and he gave her his enigmatic grin.
