Chapter 2: Dream Threat

The gang are warped back to the real world.

"Thanks, Fenrir!" Loki says happily while he pats Fenrir on the head, and as Ecchan lazily lies down on Loki's head.

"No problem, Daddy!" Fenrir wags his tail like crazy.

Yamino-kun and Mayura finally wakes up from their frozen slumber.

"What happened?" They both say in harmony.

"Nothing really." Loki says freely.

"Hmm... But I thought I saw a little girl come in!" Mayura says hoping she wasn't dreaming about it.

"It's getting late. You probably imagined it because you were so anxious for a client." Loki says looking through his window at the setting sun.

"But I'm sure that I saw her with my own two eyes!" Mayura says whining.

"I think you might be getting tired. Shouldn't you be heading home by now?" Yamino-kun says worried.

"I guess so. Well, see you tomorrow!" Mayura says waving good bye.

"Be careful on your way out!" Yamino-kun says before Mayura left the room.

"I will!" Mayura said with glee and walked out of the room.

Loki waited until he heard a "click" sound from the front door before he began to speak again.

"Yamino-kun... You heard everything, didn't you?" Loki says in a serious tone.

"Uhh... You found out, didn't you." Yamino-kun says with a sweat drop on his head.

"But she was very strong to be able to freeze me, the Midgard Serpent Midgarsorm, like that. Although I still had enough strength to hear the conversation." Yamino-kun says with a haughty voice.

"He actually wants to come and defeat me personally. That Odin!" Loki says angrily, not paying attention to what Yamino-kun said at all.

"Ok, calm down Loki-sama." Yamino-kun says to his father.

"You expect me to be calm about this!" Loki says as he got up from his chair and crossed his arms.

"Daddy, it's over for now. So stop being so angry." Fenrir says, looking at Loki with puppy eyes.

"Fine, let's go eat supper. I'm too hungry to be mad tonight." Loki says, so Fenrir and Yamino-kun could move on and stop worrying about him.

The little family went downstairs to eat their supper and then went to bed. They slept soundly through the night except one person, who was having a terrible nightmare.

"Loki, you think you can defeat me?" Odin says laughing at the thought of it.

"It doesn't hurt to try, does it Odin?" Loki says with a grin.

"You are no match for me, you trickster god. You are becoming a bit soft these days. If you cannot fight the ones you love, than you are not ruthless enough to fight me!" Odin says giggling loudly.

"What are you bragging about?" Loki says, not understanding what Odin is trying to say.

"Watch and learn." Odin says, dangling a golden-coloured necklace.

"Why do you have the Brising necklace? What do you plan on doing with it?" Loki says, getting seriously pissed off now.

"I'm glad that you recognize it. Why don't you guess what I'm going to do with it?" Odin says, pointing the necklace towards Reiya.

"ODIN, STOP IT!" Loki screamed out loud.

Loki awoke from his frightful dream to find himself sweating and panting non-stop. Loki was getting stressed out from all these sudden happenings. First, it was a girl that reminded him of his daughter, Hel. Second, he starts having a nightmare, that he interpreted to be a threat from Odin.

"It was just a dream. An awful dream." Loki says, calming down a bit.

"I can't believe he said I wasn't ruthless enough to fight him. Is he trying to tease me? If I wasn't put into this chibi (mini) version of myself, then I would have beaten him up easily!" Loki says, with fiery eyes.

Loki hears footsteps running towards his room. Who could it be this time? As the footsteps reached his bedroom door, the door was opened wide with brute force. Loki looked up and saw his two sons, panting just like he was a few minutes ago. The two sons walk towards their father.

"Loki-sama, are you okay?" Yamino-kun says, worried.

"I'm fine now, Yamino-kun. Thanks for worrying about me." Loki says with a smile.

"Loki-sama!" Yamino-kun says with tears coming out of his eyes.

"There, there, Yamino-kun. It's okay." Loki says, patting Yamino-kun's head.

"Yeah, Nii-chan, I'll protect Daddy!" Fenrir says, proudly.

"Nii-san!!" Yamino-kun says, still crying.

"Okay, everyone back to bed!" Loki says, getting annoyed and wants to go back to sleep already.

Yamino-kun left to sleep in his own bedroom, while Fenrir and Ecchan cuddled up next to Loki for the night. The night passed by the soundless sleepers and ended.
