Nobody wears it like you anymore

Light like a feather,

Bright like a dying star.

Cut those together,

Girl that is what you are.

MARGARET XV

It was cold.

With her eyes closed, she could feel a strange tone off the wind around her. It was harshly hitting her skin and there was a sound of water close by, it sounded like an ocean. Her whole body was shivering, with sweat covering her whole body.

She hated it, she hated how everytime she traveled her body would shatter into millions of pieces and get back together — hence the healing ability. Her whole body was aching, she hugged herself and felt her hot skin.

Naked. She was naked.

And laying on some hard ground.

She traveled too far, it took too much strain that her clothes vanished into nothingness, leaving her bare, and this was the first time it happened. Curling to her side, she felt an awfull stinging in her wrist, forcing Margaret to finally open her eyes.

And there she saw Steve's dog tag embedded on her left wrist. Perhaps it got stuck during the process of her body sticking itself back together. She was thankful it did not vanish like her clothes did. Slowly with a shaky hand, she held the metal engraved with Steve's name, took a deep breath and quickly pulled it off her skin.

The sound of her skin ripping apart ringed in her ears and the pain that shot through her body made her gasp, blood splattered and she wasn't healing still.

"uuhh" She moaned weakly through the pain.

Steve's dog tag was soaked in her blood, but she held it close to her, kissing his name, even if it left a bitter taste in her mouth and the blood smeared on her lips, she didn't care. She cried. Everything was painful, her own heart hurt.

"What is this?!"

She gasped as she heard his voice. She wanted to stop her body from shaking, but her own body didn't listen to her.

"You brought a mortal with you?!"

She heard heavy footsteps behind her and she wanted to turn around badly and face them but her whole body hurt.

"N-No, i do not recognize her."

Thor..

She was sure it was Thor's voice, and upon realizing that it was a version of him that did not recognize her, she sobbed with her eyes closed.

She did it. She made it to Asgard. The right place, the right time.

She successfully traveled back in time.

And that means, i have a chance to save everyone.

She opened her eyes when she felt them stand in front of her, and she saw how her vision was still blurry. But she recognized the long blond hair of Thor and his red cape even if she met him when his hair got shorter.

"Why is she naked?"

Loki was also there, and just like Thor, he did not recognize her.

Thor knelt in front of her and held her chin. Loki was behind him, looking confused but she could see his head was working, maybe he was thinking of betraying his brother while he was busy talking to her with his back turned.

"Thor O-Odinson.. Loki Laufeyson.." She breathed. She needed their attention.

Both brothers flinch visibly, Thor quickly stood, his blue eyes squinting at her. "What did you call him?"

She did not answer his question but gave them her own. "T-Thor, are you done destroying the Bifrost bridge?"

His eyes grew wide and she knew that the deed was not yet done, she nodded to herself. The right place, the right time.

"Destroy it Thor.. And Loki.. Hold my hand.." At her command no one moved.

"S-Stop fighting.." She weakly whispered, her head feeling the cold hard surface below her.

Loki took Thor's place and knelt before her, her vision filled with the colors of gold and green.

"Who are you?" The younger brother asked.

Loki did not touch her like Thor did, but his eyes roamed around her body, reminding her that she was naked in front of the two gods, but with every movement too painful, she did not bother covering her precious parts. His eyes held no malice tho, and they stayed to her bleeding wrist, still not healing.

"I c-come from the future.." She replied through her chattering teeth, hoping that they will actually listen to her and stop fighting.

Both of their eyebrows furrowed, one was skeptical while the other was something she found oddly familiar.

"The fate of the nine realms is in my hands.."

Please believe me.

You have to.

"This is absurd." Thor all but growled as he paced behind Loki.

She wanted to groan, she did not realize that Thor would be the one to make this too dificult for her. While Loki stayed quiet, kneeling in front of her.

"Wait for your father, you can fight later.."

"Father is in Odinsleep." Thor quickly countered, still skeptical of the words coming out of her mouth. You'll see..

"Not for too long.. Destroy the bridge Thor, and save Jotunheim" She reminded him, because that is what he was supposed to do.

Thor eventually made a move to where she knew he would hit the bridge with his hammer Mjolnir.

Hit!

"What are you doing?!" Loki quickly snapped, looking behind his brother, but was still kneeling in front of her.

Hit!

"If you destroy it you'll never see her again!"

He screamed, hoping to change his brother's mind. She saw his foot move, he was going after his brother. No, she can't have that.

Hit!

"Loki.. Look at me.." She held one of his large hands. If she could save Steve and everyone on earth from Thanos, then why not save Loki as well? "Stay with me.." He flinched at her touch but he stayed in his place. He was so pale. Margaret knew what was coming and she braced herself as Thor's words echoed like a prayer.

"Forgive me Jane.."

Hit!

At last it shattered with Thor in a powerful blast, but she held Loki's hand.

Don't fall off the bridge. Don't fall of the bridge.

She felt herself roll on the bright surface before opening her eyes, she saw Loki above her, holding her to his chest. He did not fall. She shivered as she felt the coldness of his armor, he did not say a word.

"What have you done!? Both of you!" A stern voice was heard.

Loki stood, letting go of her, and both of the brothers looked like children who got caught playing with fire when they saw their father (she assumed that was Odin) coming their way.

Both Loki and Thor released a breath of relief when their father focused his attention to her instead of them. The God eyed her pathetic form on the surface of the bridge, a look of disgust played in his mouth.

"Take her inside." He commanded both and turned to leave.

She heared the sound of clothes ripping apart. Thor tore Loki's cape off of him and covered her with it. It felt rough, but the warmth it gave her made her clutch the thing tight to herself while she was still lying on the ground.

Slowly Loki knelt beside her and gathered her into his arms, a breath escaped her lips when he stood. She could not help but notice how different he was compared to the god she first met in New York.

The Loki she met in New York, held the eyes full of lust and hunger for power. And he strangled her because he was jealous of his brother.

But this Loki who was currently carrying her, he held the eyes of someone who longs, someone who wants to prove himself.

Someone who hungers for love.

And he was supposed to fall from the Bifrost bridge, if it wasn't for her appearing out of nowhere.

She turned her head to the side, avoiding his blue eyes and saw billions and billions of stars scattered in the dark sky of Asgard.

Beautiful.

"My lady what is your name?" His voice snapped her out her trance, ironic.

With every step Loki took, he lulled her.

"Marga.." She fell asleep or maybe she fainted even before she finished her own name. A smirk was the last thing she saw.

Author's Note: Timeline is now on Thor 1, it's 2011. Thor is already worthy of Mjolnir and Odin Spoiler alert) is still alive. Also Margaret appeared right before Odin woke up from Odinsleep so Loki did not fall from the bifrost bridge like in the movie. With the eye colors, i think Loki had green eyes in the comics (not sure) but i referenced Tom Hiddleston instead so, blue it is.

Chapter is Dedicated to ShyxSkater, because i have a strange feeling that she loves Loki. *wink
