OK, it is my birthday tomorrow (Jan 19) and as my present to me, I am going to finish "Storms Within."

This would be the deleted scene I was referring too. It would take place between Chapter 20 (Home) and 21 (Nothing but work). Please enjoy it and let me know what you think!

Deleted scene #1 – Broken memories

It was dark on Earth, but the sun would soon be rising over the mountain and provide heat and light to the west coast. The sky was alive with dark colors up high and sparkled with thousands of stars and constellations and looked down upon the planet. The crescent moon was sharp and defined.

Jacob was asleep on the sofa from going out with the entire group of Darcy, her fiancé Lucas, Keith, Erik, Tony Stark, and herself. They had gone to dinner, did a little drinking, and finally returned to a penthouse loft that Tony rented out to guests.

Keith was pulling a blanket up over Jake whom he had carried from the car to the elevator, and finally into the room. Her mentor was asleep in one of the other bedrooms and Darcy and Lucas were passed out in the den on a pop up bed.

She had changed clothes that were all perspired from the club and was wearing a loose cotton shirt and shorts that were provided by the hotel. That was when she had come out and saw what her ex-husband was doing.

"Aspirin kick in yet?" he asked her quietly.

"Getting there," she replied. "Thanks for spending so much time with him instead of dancing with us at the bar. You really are special."

"He's our boy. I would do anything for him." He got up from the sofa and extended a hand to her, which she accepted as they walked toward the door. "Now, you get to bed and allow that medicine to work. I'll be back around noon to pick him up."

"That would be great," she replied. "And thank you Dr. Kincaid."

"You are most welcome Dr. Foster," he said back to her.

They were at the door and she was about to open it to let him out, when she reclosed it again. "You know, you can always stay with us."

Keith looked at her. "Is that an invitation for "to stay with you?"

She had to think about what she was saying again, and replied with, "It is. Well…?"

"I need to get home and feed Baxter. Slugger over there would be mad if I did not feed his dog."

"Right," she replied with a laugh. "Wouldn't want Baxter to go hungry. Well, have a good night and I will see you later."

Her ex left a kiss on her right cheekbone. "Good night," he added before he left the room.

Jane closed the door and headed to her purse that had fallen on the floor when they had come in. She needed to turn her cell-phone off and conserve the battery.

When she bent down to grab it, she missed the strap and it wound up turning over and dumping all over the floor.

"Oh just fabulous," she grumbled as she bent down to clean up the mess.

While cleaning up the mess however, she found the bracelet that she had made in Asgard; the one that matched Thor's. She smoothed the pure silver in her fingers and rubbed over the engravings etched upon the surface.

She headed outside to take one last look at the moon. The breeze felt good on the light fever she had from her migraine, but she would be OK; especially when the medication that Keith gave her kicked in.

Jane looked back to the bracelet as it shined in the moonlight.

She thought Heimdall was no doubt looking down, watching her at her lord's request. She knew that he could hear every word she was saying.

Tears welled up in her eyes as she read the Asgardian text. "This bracelet belonging to Lady Jane Elizabeth Foster of Midgard, daughter to James and Amelia, mother to Jacob Michael do hereby seal the pact between she and…" She did not want to read anymore as the tears fell down her face, but chose to anyway. "Seal the pact between she and Prince Thor Odinson, son of Odin Allfather, as a sign of eternal devotion."

She cried as she clinched the bangle in both of her hands, trying desperately to tear it in half. If she was still Thordis, she would have been able to split it with two fingers. This metal however would not be broken.

Jane wanted to chuck it over the edge of the hotel, but decided that she would not want to hurt anyone. Now, it would just be a memory of what she had lost.

There was a knock to her door and she quickly raced back in while wiping her tears away and regaining composure. She slammed the bracelet back into her purse.

What a surprise there was waiting on the other side of the door.

It was Keith.

"You know, I forgot," her ex-husband said, "S.H.I.E.L.D. put up Baxter at a doggie day care for the week. I think he will be fine. Is that invitation to stay still open?"

He too had been crying just a bit.

Jane reached and put her arms around his neck, their mouths meeting in a breathless unison and motion. He reached out to gather her into his arms and lifted her off her feet.

It was just like when they met and started seeing one another.

Once back to her feet, she finally dragged him inside and shut the door so as not to put on a show any longer.

The show was to go on elsewhere.

But Jane did not realize that the bracelet had bounced out of the purse after slamming it and was now lying on the floor.

I know for you Jane/Thor and Loki/Jane fans out there, this one had to hurt, so that is why I omitted it from the entirety of the story. I would only provide it as a bonus section. Again, thanks for reading "Storms Within" and head over to "Stockholm - A Loki/Jane Novella!"
