Okay, so the way I ended the last chapter wasn't how I wanted. I know, I know, fail on my part. I've been trying to think of a way to work around it, but I'm just going to wing it (like I do with everything else) and cross my fingers that it works! This is the first time I'm sitting all day from a crazy work out, but I have Iced Apple Cider from Dunkin Donuts, a warm owl blanket, and I just showered so I'm SO READY TO WRITE! (insert dramatic motivational music here)

"Thor?" Loki spat. The purple shirt dropped from his hands. His heart sped up and he could swore he saw red. The vein in his forehead was pulsing as his hands started to tremble with rage.

Thor stood up slowly and moved away from the garbage can, taking an awkward step toward him. "Brother, you don't understand how truly happy I am to see you. We thought you had died. We all-

"Yes I'm sure it was a happy day for the kingdom! Finally Loki was out of the way!" His eyes started to get watery and glass-like as they so often did when he was feeling his emotions so strongly. He moved closer to his brother, and despite the anger that was so clearly showing, Thor stayed still and calm. "I see you were hiding, were you? Why? What did you intend to do to me, hm? Tell me, oh brother! Oh King! What was your wise plan!"

"Loki please listen to me. I understand that you are mad but remember who it is you are talking to." He said, placing a hand on his brothers shoulder. Loki shook it off quickly, taking a step back. Thor's face frowned automatically. He still wasn't used to his brothers rapid change.

His blonde hair had grown longer, but he was dressed as a normal human would be. A blue plaid shirt and jeans. He looked just like one of them. "We grew up together. When you would come up with a good trick to play on mother, who was it that would distract her for you? When you started to learn magic, who was it that let you try out spells on him? Don't you remember how we laughed when you turned fathers beard pink? Or perhaps that time when we tried to convince our parents to let us adopt that wounded bird we found?"

Loki was still shaking but he did listen to Thor. He remembered all those things and more, and deep down a part of him did miss his brother, but the seed of hate had grown inside him and consumed his heart entirely.

He buried the thoughts away and glared at Thor. "I said to tell me! Tell me what you were doing here!" He barked, his voice rising.

"Believe me when I tell you that I did not know that you were here...I came back for Jane. She and I found each other, and when she came here to tell Darcy and found you, she wouldn't let me speak to you."

"The new ruler of Asgard taking orders from a girl?" Loki said with a laugh.

Thor ignored the comment and continued speaking as if he hadn't been interrupted. "But oh how I wanted to! I wanted to know for myself that you were indeed alive, Loki." Thor's eyes sparkled. Loki couldn't understand how his brother could still love him with no resentment whatsoever. Just another thing that drove him mad. Not only was Thor suddenly good and pure of heart but he couldn't even feel hate for the one person that tried endlessly to destroy him. "Jane is letting me stay in a...what was it? A mote?"

"Motel." Loki sneered.

"Ah yes! A motel. Jane has let me stay at a motel, but I often just come sit out here to see Jane, and to on occasion peek in on you from the window...just seeing that you are well."

"You've been watching me! Spying on me!"

"No brother, not like that. I just needed to see that you were truly there. But here you are now! And you have fallen for sweet Darcy." Thor said, smiling warmly.

Thor calling Darcy sweet rattled him. Something about what Jane had said, about Darcy wanting Thor, and him now calling her sweet...You are over-reacting as you so often do. Darcy is yours, and only yours.

Suddenly a light bulb went off over Loki's head. Darcy trying to bolt the door, Jane not wanting to hear anything about her being able to see Thor, the conversation they had in the kitchen, all of it. All because Thor was here. And Darcy knew. She knew yet she said nothing. She was acting differently...because Thor came. Maybe she did have feelings for Thor...could that be why she was acting so coldly to Loki? Because Thor, her true interest, was back?

Loki raised his hand, ready to trap his brother with a spell, but before he could even blink his head was hitting the floor.

Thor stood above him, pressing him down to the ground. Even now, his face was still calm. "I don't want to fight you brother! Do you remember what you had said to me? You only wanted to be my equal! Loki, you are more than my equal. You-"

"To who! I'll never be your equal! Not in anyone's eye! Not in fathers eye!" He pushed his brother off of him.

"Loki stop this! I did not come here to fight you I came here for Jane! That is all!"

"You may have came here for Jane but you will stay and you will fight me, brother!" Loki said, rising to his feet. He didn't know where the hammer was, but it was nowhere to be seen. It was missing from Thor's hand, and as Loki raised his hand ready to fight with his magic, he smirked wickedly knowing it would be easy.

Darcy sat on her laptop, typing away aimlessly, barely even thinking of what she was saying. She absentmindedly was biting on her lip, as she always did when she was stressed or nervous. Her screen started blinking and she looked to see that Erik had messaged her on Facebook.

"Darcy, tell me it isn't true that you've become recently romantically involved with Satan." The message had said. Darcy didn't know whether to smile or frown.

"Oh it's true alright. We picked pumpkins and made a former cheerleader feel like shit. It's pretty serious." She typed back.

Erik was never usually on Facebook. In fact, it had taken him almost months to learn how to even use it. It didn't help that it was so frequently changing. He was always getting confused, but she was impressed by his understanding how to use their chat function.

"If I were there you'd be getting quite a lecture, missy. Why is Jane allowing this?"

"It's a long story. Try calling her?"

"I tried, she must be asleep. I'm getting off, the computer keeps beeping at me." He said. Darcy giggled.

After being on various pointless websites for a couple minutes, she shut her laptop and rolled over on her bed, letting out a loud irritated sigh.

She was bored and stressed. She wanted to see Loki and talk to him, tell him how crazy this all was making her feel, but she couldn't tell him because that would involve her telling him about Thor.

Jane was keeping him outside like a dog. Well, not really a dog. Jane would never keep a dog outside she thought to herself. But Thor, always obedient, didn't mind. He had a motel down the road, but yet he chose to sit outside, his only friend the trash.

But at least since Jane decided to get him a cell phone he could text her whenever he was out there so she could go see him. His fingers were kind of big for the buttons, but he tried his best.

I wonder what they do on Aslan without computers or cell phones. Maybe they just get drunk. Do they even drink there? They must have parties, they have to. But probably not trashy parties with beer and gross guys that hit on everyone, they probably have grand parties, like balls in fairy tales. The women probably wore beautiful gowns and jewels...

She closed her eyes and started daydreaming. She was almost asleep when the doorknob to her room turned rapidly over and over again. She opened her eyes, annoyed. She had the door locked because a part of her was worried that Thor might come in to use the bathroom and step into her room instead. She had always been kind of paranoid.

Just then loud bangs came from her door. "Darcy! Unlock the door, NOW!" Jane yelled. Darcy groggily got out of her bed and lazily walked to the door, pushing her hair out of her face. Jane burst into the room in tears, completely ignoring Darcy and rushing to her window.

"Jeez, Jane. You wanna tell me what's going on or are you just going to stick with being super creepy?"

"He's gone! Thor's gone! He won't even answer his phone." Jane cried. "I heard voices arguing and-"

"Voices?" Darcy said quickly. Without hesitation she dashed out into the hall and swung open Loki's door, but he was gone. Shit. "Jane!" Darcy yelled. "Loki-"

"He's gone too, I know. He must have seen Thor and they sounded like they were fighting and now he's gone. Both of them. Both of them are gone!" Jane said. She sounded hysterical, but Darcy realized that Jane had lost Thor before. She just got him back and now she was probably thinking he was gone from her all over again.

"Shh, Jane. It's going to be okay. He'll come back. They couldn't have gone far, right? I mean we would've noticed if they went back. The sky would've-"

"What if Loki killed him? What if he killed him and is hiding his body?" Jane asked, looking at Darcy with wide eyes.

Darcy held in a laugh and covered her mouth after being unable to control herself. "Okay, okay, look this isn't Criminal Minds, Jane. They're brothers, right? I mean, Thor did think Loki was dead. They just saw each other for the first time in a long time. Maybe they just went to a bar to talk or something."

"To a bar? To talk? Really, Darcy?" Jane asked. She sounded disgusted and once again Darcy was being looked at like she was a moron. "I told you, they were arguing, fighting! Now they're gone. They didn't walk off somewhere to talk!"

"How do you know! I mean, I'd call Loki but, oh wait, I didn't rush off to buy him a cell phone so I could keep my eye on him at all hours!"

Jane looked at her in disbelief and frustration. Darcy dipped her head down a little and put her hand to her head. "Okay, sorry, mean and uncalled for, cranky Darcy needs tea or something."

"You think everything's a joke, don't you." Jane asked. "You never care about anything."

"Um, okay, not cool. I'm just as concerned as you are. You have to worry about Thor being hurt and disappearing, I have to worry about Loki going bad again, hurting his brother, getting hurt, or leaving. I'm not saying it's worse, but I am saying I know how you feel. I am worried. I am freaked out. I just handle things differently than you."

Jane sighed and looked at Darcy with apologetic eyes. "I'm sorry, I'm just so frazzled. I've been being such a bitch..."

"Don't worry about it." Darcy said. She walked into the kitchen with Jane following and grabbed a flash light out of the cabinet. Jane gave her a look and Darcy shrugged. "Just because they're missing doesn't mean they're far, right? Who knows." She said.

The two girls left the house together in search of the brothers. Both secretly doubting they'd ever see them again.
