Triquetra

by ButterflyMiko

Chaos and Cosmos created the universe together. After many mistakes and betrayals, they were seperated when Chaos fell in love with Loki, breaking a sacred law and causing a rift between the sisters. Now years later they have been reborn as sisters, though they remain unknown to their identities as goddesses or their pasts. As Cosmos finds love first time she begins to understand.

18. Returning Home

Bifrost Landing Site

Loki, Thor, Kuri, Rei, and Selvig stood in the cornfield with Coulson, and several SHIELD agents.

Loki called up to the sky.

"Heimdall! Open the Bifrost!"

Rainbow Bridge

Heimdall remained collapsed.

Bifrost Landing Site

Loki looked to the others with concern. "He would open it if he could. I fear the worst."

"Then we're trapped here forever." Thor said. "Then I suppose we'd best start settling into our new lives."

He looked to Rei, turned on the charm.

"Are all earth maidens as fair as you?"

Rei enjoyed the attention. "No."

Loki shouted back up to the sky. "Heimdall!"

Rainbow Bridge

From inside the ice, Heimdall heard Loki calling to him. Knowing that the fate of Asgard depends on him, he mustered all his strength. With a tremendous effort, Heimdall stood.

Weakened, near death, he dragged himself inside the Observatory.

Bifrost Landing Site

Thor and Loki began to lose hope. Thor eyed a SHIELD Agent's machine gun.

"Primitive. Good enough for hunting small game, I suppose." Thor said.

Suddenly, the Bifrost exploded down from the sky. Loki smiled. The mortals looked on, amazed. Thor turned to Rei.

"Sorry, my love. These things happen." Thor said.

He joined Loki at his side. Loki turned to Coulson.

"Know this, son of Coul. You and I, we fight for the same cause - the protection of this world. From this day forward, count me as your ally." Loki said. "If you return the items you have stolen from Erik Selvig."

"Not stolen. Borrowed." Coulson said.

Kuri shot him a look. Coulson quickly continued.

"You'll get your equipment back." Coulson said. "You're going to need it to continue your research... which, after today's events, SHIELD would like to fully sponsor. If that's all right with you."

Loki took Kuri's hand, kissed it tenderly. She looked at him, her eyes filled with the fear that she may never see him again.

"Whatever fate lies before me, you are part of it." Loki said.

He took her in his arms, kissed her passionately, then went to enter the Bifrost. But in a split second, Kuri followed Loki and Thor to Asgard.
