A/N: This installment was written as a drabble challenge (500 words or less), and I had to include the following words: Wii, auditorium, and zoo.


CHAPTER TWO
Wreaking Havoc Is Fun To Do


After Loki's seventeenth trip to the hospital for yet another failed attempt to injure Jane (kill her), he had gone surly. And quiet. He'd followed her wherever she went like an angry little boy, but he'd been reasonably well-behaved. It hadn't occurred to him that he could make trouble in other ways.

Until today.

Today, when she felt safe enough to cart him with her to a science conference. A science conference where she'd been asked to present her findings related to practical applications of the Einstein-Rosen Bridge theory. A presentation meant to help her claw out of obscurity and into the world of legitimate science.

And Loki had ruined it all.

Darcy sat beside her in the auditorium, snapping her gum as they watched the zoo before them. Scientists were yelling at one another, passing dollar bills to Loki while two of the most prominent researchers in the field of astrophysics readied themselves for the stand-off of the century. Jane didn't want to think about where Loki had acquired the Wii console, nor how he'd managed to hook it up to the projector screen. And how he'd convinced everyone that an epic Guitar Hero battle would be better than listening to Jane's lecture.

"So," Darcy said, "I'm guessing that this is only the beginning of Fun Times with Mr. Crazypants."

Jane buried her face in her hands and groaned.


A/N: The last two installments are proper chapter lengths! Sorry about this short one! Thank you so much for reading! XD
