I love my new journal. I've been using my other one for over a year… I should find a better hobby.

"Hey, come here!"

Juliet looked up to Tony, who had barged into her room asking for her assistance.

"What?" she said. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong, I need to fit you into this suit, we have limited time, let's go."

Juliet smiled at his hurry, but went with him anyways after putting her journal away. They went to the throne room, which Juliet found odd, as there were no frost giants today.

"Where is Loki?" she asked, remembering he had said something about Loki being gone.

"Maybe he's visiting family for the Holidays…" Tony joked. "Who cares? Anyways, sit here."

Juliet had a worry in the pit of her stomach as she sat down in the chair Tony pointed at. She held out her arm, letting him strap the hand of her suit to her wrist. He worked with her for a long while, making sure everything was fitted to her own body structure.

"How long?" she asked, part of her not wanting to hear the answer.

"I'll work all day tomorrow. It'll be done the next day."

Juliet nodded, looking over at the empty throne. She let the anger rise in her stomach as she thought about the world that was taken from them. She needed to leave and go back to her coven, they needed to fight to get their world back, and she was more than ready.

When they were finished, Juliet wandered down the hallway, originally going to her room. Her feet carried her to the staircase though. She wanted to know if he was up there, or if he really was gone. She slowly walked up the metallic stairs. Her feet made no noise, silently making her way to the top. When she got there, she saw Loki standing by the window. She was by his side in an instant, looking down at the sunset. It stung at her eyes, making her close them for a moment.

"Hello."

"Hi."

"So you have found me."

"Were you hiding?"

He smirked, not looking at her still.

"No."

"Why are you up here? Where are all the frost giants?"

"They are home."

"Home?"

"Jotunheim."

Juliet nodded, glancing at him.

"Why?"

"They miss it there."

"I bet…" she said, looking down at the kingdom Loki had made.

"This day… What does it mean?"

"This day?"

"You mortals celebrate on this day. What does it mean?"

"It's Christmas." Juliet said. "It's a religion's holiday. It's the birthday of Jesus."

"Who is that?"

"Christians believe he's our God."

"I have never met this God."

"A lot of people have never met him."

"Then why do they believe?"

"It's faith."

"Do you believe in it?"

Juliet had never given much thought to religion after she had been changed. She shrugged.

"It's hard to believe there is a God that would allow us to live the way I do. Though, we can't even touch a cross… There has to be some power behind that."

"You seem conflicted."

"I don't like thinking about it."

"Then I apologize. Let us speak of something else."

Juliet looked over at him, turning her body to face him. He did the same, Juliet feeling a slight tension between them.

"I know you are having a hard time being here. You miss your family. Although my family has never given me anything but trouble, I suppose your family is doing a better job with their daughter."

"They aren't my real family…" Juliet replied. "They are my coven, vampires. They're like me."

Loki nodded.

"So it is more on a level of acceptance than anything."

"Something like that… You grow attached to people."

"I never have."

"Clearly." she said, not looking away from the city.

"You are so bitter towards me."

"You would be too if the tables were turned."

"Midgardians could never take over the realm of Gods."

"You have no idea what kind of beings live here."

"Yes, the mutants you told me about… They must be quite powerful."

"It's not just mutants."

"All I know is none of them have challenged me. I have nothing to fear."

"I see." Juliet said, watching him turn back to face the window.

She looked down at it too as silence fell between them. She let out a small sigh, wishing to be on the outside.

"Do you like what you see?" he asked.

Juliet looked from the golden city up to him.

"I think it's a pretty picture of something no one else wants except you."

"All of this is mine…" he told her, ignoring the remark. "You don't have to be a prisoner here."

"What are you talking about?"

"I can make you into something more, here. I can make you in charge of everything."

"In charge?" she asked.

"Everyone would listen to you. You would be safe from everything the Chitauri have done to your world."

"Why would you do that?"

"All you have to do is bring the coven to me."

Juliet looked out at the city, taking in the sight of potential freedom beyond the walls before looking to him again.

"I want to make a deal with you."

"What is that?"

"I'll bring my coven here. I'll get them to come with me… But you have to let the Avengers go."

"Why would I do that?"

"You'll have no need for them if vampires are with you. You'd also have better protection if they come back to fight you. You'd win both ways."

Loki seemed to think on this idea, taking a moment to be silent. He looked up at her then, nodding his head.

"Bring your vampires here, and I will let them go."

"No. Let them go. I will bring them to where my coven is staying. It's safe there. I want them safe."

"Fine."

"Tony goes too. With his suit."

"He would be protected by the others."

"Doesn't matter. I want his suit with him."

Loki stuck out his hand, which Juliet shook.

"I trust you."

"Good." she replied.

Juliet watched as he summoned a cage with three rabbits in it for her before she turned to leave. She smirked to herself all the way down the stairs.
