A/N: I only own the OC.

Thank you for the reviews!


I sensed someone watching me as I trained with a bow and arrow. I glanced over my shoulder to see Fandral standing there watching me. I turned to face him and he gave me a small smile.

"I was hoping to catch you since you seem to only be training and avoiding people now." he said and I felt myself smirk.

"I don't know... I don't know how I fit in anymore." I finally admitted as he walked over to me. He took the bow and arrows from me, and put them back on the rack. He came back over and held out his arm to me. I looked from his arm to his face, and he gave me a small smile. I finally took it and let him lead me out of the training room. He lead me outside and down the dark streets. Asgard was quiet as it was late at night. We stopped in front of a small alleyway and he looked at me before leading me down it. He opened a small door to a basement type dwelling, and pulled me in with him. I looked around as the room was dimly lit by a fire in the fireplace. I looked around as I took in the room.

"Where are we?" I asked him and he chuckled as he handed me a cup of wine he had just poured.

"I live in the palace, but I do have my own place." he said and I nodded as he pulled me further into the room. He lit the sconces on the walls as the room lit up further. I could tell that he lived her by himself as it was the equivalent of a studio apartment in Los Angeles. The sofa was comfortable as he sat down beside me.

"It has it's charm." I said and he chuckled.

"That's why I prefer the palace, but I do own this so when I need my space I still have it." he said and I nodded.

"And you bring women here often?" I asked him as he was sipping on his wine, which caused him to choke and cough as I started to laugh.

"Parker." he said in a teasing warning tone and I smirked as I sipped on more wine.

"You didn't answer the question." I joked and he smirked.

"I don't, Parker, in fact I was in love with someone else." he admitted and I nodded. I understood how that felt.

"I'm sorry it didn't work out." I admitted a few second later and he nodded.

"That's why I tried to warn you about him." he said and I looked up surprised that he was talking about Loki.

"I didn't realize you were into... men." I finally said and he chuckled as he looked at me.

"I'm into any being that I find beautiful." he said and laced his fingers with mine as they laid on the cushion. I looked from them to his face. He put his wine cup down, took mine, did the same, and leaned towards me. I let my eyes shutter close as his lips pressed softly against mine. I slowly let my hands slide up his arms to coil around his neck. He pressed more of his weight on me as I moaned into the kiss.

"You are beautiful." he mumbled as we fought for dominance of the kiss. I let me lay me all the way back on the kiss as his hand settled on my hip. I felt him place more weight against me as I arched into him. I felt more of my body alive now thanks to Malekith's unwanted gift, but right now I wasn't complaining. I let my hands run over his muscular back as I felt something pressing against my leg. I moved my leg against it causing him to let out a low growl and pull away to look at me. I moved some blonde hair that was sticking to his forehead and he pressed a soft kiss to my lips.

"I have been fascinated with you ever since I met you, Lady Parker." he said as he moved to pull me into his side.

"I wasn't sure about you." I admitted and he chuckled.

"Loki can be very charming." he said and I smirked.

"You all can be." I said he gave me a small smile as he laced our fingers together before laying them on my stomach.

"I do like you, Parker, but I don't want to push you into anything. I can tell you seem lost right now." he said and I nodded as I looked at him.

"I don't feel like I fit in anywhere." I admitted and he kissed my forehead.

"You fit here pretty well." he said with a chuckle and I smiled at him. We laid on his sofa and talked until the fire started to go out in the heath and the world outside began to get brighter.

"Come on, I wouldn't want anyone to think you ran away." he said and I laughed as we walked out of his place and into the small alleyway. He pressed me against the door and kissed me as i clung to him.

"Just know that I do care about you, Parker... no matter what you are now." he said and gave me one more chaste kiss before he held out his arm to me. I chuckled as I took it and we walked through the streets of Asgard as people began to wake up for the day. We were passing the training room when Sif called to us.

"We are going riding this morning, you should come." she said and I nodded as Thor came into the room, followed by Loki. I caught his gaze as he seemed to focus on me. I hadn't seen him since I left him that day... and that was a few days ago.

"Change of plans, Sif. I need Fandral and Hogun with me. I have to go to another realm. Malekith is trying to turn everyone against us. Loki, Sif, and Parker go riding towards the northern border to ensure it's intact. Volstagg is going with father to speak to another realm." he said and we all nodded. I wasn't exactly happy to hear that I was going with Loki today, but at least Sif would be there.

We all walked to the stables in silence after Thor told us what all we needed to do today. Loki was a few steps ahead of us as we approached the horses that were waiting on us. I walked up to the horse I was riding and petted it on the nose.

"Do you need help?" he asked me as I walked over to the side and pulled myself up, effectively shutting him up.

"I don't guess you do." he said as he walked over to his horse and Sif smirked at me. I shrugged as we started towards the trails we needed. Sif and I were talking as Loki trotted behind us. We rode along the boarder as the sheer mountains rode up next to us. I was glad to talk to Sif, and even told her about Fandral. I didn't care if Loki could hear me. We were almost back when a sound rang out from the palace. We all looked at each other and went racing. I had heard that sound once when something was threatening Asgard, and it was an eerie sound that made your skin crawl.
