I am so sorry that this chapter has taken such a long time. I have had the idea for like a week, but stuff just happened so I couldn't write it. Anyway here it is and I hope that I can write soon again, I have a plan for the next chapters as well! But you get a really long chapter this time at least, so hope you like it because I am happy with it.
So anyway, I am not a big fan of Spider-Man but I felt like he needed to be in the story and I choose to use the teenage version, hope that is okay, and its not like I am going to change it if it's not. Haha. Urhm yes I hope you people survive if he is a bit out of character.
And then we have the meeting with Fury, which is the part I am least happy with, or rather Natasha's part, but I hope you survive it.
The rest of the chapter I am so happy with, especially the parts with Loki and Loki and Cara, so hope you like the too. The part with Fandral was also fun to write.
But I am sorry if anyone like Sif, I do not so I am not going to use her in a nice way.
The name Fai and the other names are from a amazing manga named Tsubasa: Reservior Chronicle. It's a really nice name. I was thinking of using the name Spencer or Yuki to the cat since that is what my and my roommates cats are named. That and Loki but I could not use that. But it felt wrong to pick one of the names so I went with Fai instead.
And the story Cara is starting to telling in the end is the story from Rangers apprentice, also a amazing story.
And I want once again thank the people who are following my story and giving me reviews, you are all the best!
So now I am going to stop "talking" and letting you guys read. Hope you enjoy the chapter!
Thor walked after the twins as they run to the kitchen. They had woken him up, wanting breakfast and he had looked at Jane who was asleep and he thought it was better to bring the kids to the kitchen before they woke her up. He was surprised that they had that much energy, it never seemed to end, but it was also kind of fun. They were very sweet and kind, so taking care of them was something he gladly did, not only for his own sake, but also for Loki. Thor was glad that he could help his brother with something, even if it was something simple as this. And he was also glad that he could be a part of his nephews lives. He had missed so much in there and the others before, so it was like he had gotten another chance.
"Mother," Narfi said.
"Father," Váli said. And when Thor walked into the kitchen both Loki and Cara stood there, preparing breakfast and Thor smiled at them, and they gave him a strange look before Cara smiled and Loki shook his head.
"Mother we are so glad that you come back," Narfi said and he gave her a hug and Váli walked over and did the same.
"Come back?" Cara asked a bit surprised, not sure what they meant by that.
"Thor said that you and father had a fight and you left," Váli said and looked at her and then Loki who looked away. Cara took his hand and then looked at Thor.
"Thor, why did you tell them that?"
"I didn't! I told Jane, I thought they were asleep!" Thor defended himself. "And you young boys, you should know that it's not very nice to eavesdrop on peoples conversations!"
The twins just smiled before they turned to Cara again.
"But we are really glad that you stayed mother. We don't want you to leave," Narfi said and hugged her again.
"No, it wouldn't feel like home without you. You are so nice to us," Váli said.
"Yes you are, we really like you! Please never leave again," Narfi told her and Cara just looked at them and she felt her eyes become watering.
"I am sorry," she said before leaving the room and the twins looked really sad at Thor and Loki.
"Did we do something wrong?" Narfi asked.
"No you didn't," Loki said and sat down and hugged his sons.
"Then why did she leave?" Váli asked them. Loki and Thor looked at each other before they both nodded and Thor sat down on the floor too.
"She had a daughter," Thor started and the twins looked at her. "She died, or rather got murdered when she was your age."
"Who killed her?" Váli asked.
"Cara's father did. Minna, that was her name, died when she tried to protect Cara," Loki answered.
"Protect her from what?" Narfi asked.
"That's something Cara needs to tell you when and if she feels ready for it," Thor said and the twins nodded.
"We are sorry, we didn't know," Váli said.
"We know you didn't and Cara do not blame you. But I think it becomes too much for her sometimes. You are really nice to her and she really likes you too, but I think it sometimes reminds her that Minna is dead," Loki explained to them.
"Then maybe we shall stop," Narfi said and Loki smiled to them.
"I don't think that's what you need to do. Just give her sometimes and she will feel better," Thor said and ruffled the twins hair and they smiled.
"So breakfast?" Thor said.
"Yes," the twins shouted and Loki brought the last of things they needed for breakfast and walked out of the kitchen and over to the table.
Cara had returned a while later and she had smiled towards them as she sat down.
"We are sorry Cara," the twins said.
"Don't be, it's not your fault," she told them as she took a cup of tea.
"Are you alright?" Narfi asked and she nodded.
"I am, thank you for asking," Loki gave her a look but she just smiled towards him. She could tell that he knew that it was a lie, but she hadn't done anything special to hide it. She had no reason to hide anything from Loki, but she did not want the kids to know. Loki didn't say anything and she was grateful for that.
"Good morning," Tony suddenly said and they looked at his direction and saw how he stopped when he saw Thor before he laughed. "Like you knew hair colour big guy."
Thor looked surprised at him and Cara snapped her fingers and a mirror appeared. Thor looked at his reflection and saw that his hair was pink and he soon heard the twins giggle before they started to laugh.
"Come here," Thor said and stood up and started to chase them. The twins was running around and laughing and Tony laughed too, so did Cara and Loki smiled.
"I can't understand that you fell for that again Thor," Loki said.
"Again?" Tony asked and Loki looked at him.
"I did that to Thor for six hundred years or so, not in pink, I think it was green then," Loki explained.
"You did something like that?" Tony said skeptical and Loki looked down thinking he had done something wrong and Cara gave Tony a look. "Sorry reindeer games, I just have a hard time seeing you doing pranks like that."
"He is the good of mischief after all Tony," Cara said and took Loki's hand again and he smiled a small smile at her. "But he is right Thor, you should not fall for pranks like that."
"I was sleeping!" Thor shouted towards them and Cara raised a finger and pointed at him and soon Thor had blue hair and he stopped and looked at her.
"You didn't sleep now, and you still fell for it," she said and the twins laughed again and Thor started chasing them again and they ran towards Cara and Loki.
"Help us," they said laughing.
"If you have started a war you need to finish it," Cara said and Loki nodded as the twins looked at them, especially Cara and then at each other and Narfi tried to raise a finger without them seeing it. "Don't think so."
Cara reflected the spell and then snapped her fingers and it was like something pulled the twins by the hips up in the air and soon they hang upside and down. The twins looked surprised at each other before they laughed again and so did Thor laughed.
"Perfect revenge!" Thor said and Cara smiled a mischievous smile and snapped her fingers and soon Thor hang between the twins.
"Hey!" Thor shouted and the twins laughed and pointed at their uncle, and Loki smiled at Cara before he laughed a warm laugh and she smiled back.
"Remind me not to get on your bad side", Tony said and Cara snapped with her fingers again and he hang between the others. "Not fair, I didn't do anything!"
"That is correct, but I felt like you could join the others," Cara only answered before she continue to eat.
Cara had been nice and let the others down on the ground a short time after she putted them there, and they all eat their food when they heard a voice.
"Tony? Tony?" A teenage boy shouted.
"In here", Tony answered and soon a teenage boy, maybe around seventeen or so walked in.
"Hi…" the boy started but his eyes got stuck on Loki and he just stared at him, something that made Loki lower his head. "What is he doing here? Is he controlling you?"
"No," Tony answered as he drunk his coffee.
"That was a stupid question, of course you would answer no if he was controlling you. But don't you worry, I will save you," the boy said and when Cara saw something white fly towards Loki, so pulled him away, so she stood in between what it and Loki. And as she did she cast a spell towards the boy which made him fall to the floor.
"Ouch," the boy said and Tony laughed.
"Told you, he is not controlling us, he is our guest. But I will not get tired of seeing peoples reaction to it," Tony said and helped the boy to his feet, while Cara had a hard time moving.
"What is it?" She ask and felt how sticky it was, and she did not like that she could barely move her arms and legs.
"Oh it's spider web!" The boy said.
"Spider web?" Cara asked and tried to break free, but instead she fell down on the floor and the twins laughed.
"Mother looks funny," Váli said and she just shook her head.
"Can I get it off?" She asked and tried to sit up but she was now stuck on the floor.
"Can't you use magic?" Tony asked.
"Well if I know that I can do that without a problem I will," she said and was asking in the same time.
"Let put things on her," Narfi said and started to take food from the table and attaching to the web as they were laughing.
"Oh you should be able to use magic on it without a problem. I have never tried. But it is as normal spider web," the boy said and Cara nodded.
"No, she is trying to break free, let's hurry," Váli said and attached more stuff. Loki looked at them and laughed.
"Thank you for your support Loki," Cara said and gave him a look but Loki just smiled and she putted her hand on the web and let the magic flow through it, and burn it of her. "I will let you take the hit, the next time."
"I rather not get stuck as a spider," he said.
"No you rather let me get stuck. So much for being a knight in shining armor," Cara joked and looked at all the food on the floor. "And you better clean it up boys!"
The twins was about to run off when she gave them a look.
"Yes mother," they said and started to pick up the food and Cara walked over to the table and sat down when Loki took her hand and gave her a grateful look and she smile. "Nothing to thank me for."
"So who are you?" she asked with a smile, turning towards the boy.
"I am Peter Parker, Ma'am," Peter said.
"Ma'am?" Tony asked "I did not get a Sir when we first met."
"You did not use magic on me either!" Peter said and Cara laughed.
"You are no Sir Tony!" She said and then turned to Peter. "But please just call me Cara."
"Cara? Well alright, nice to meet you Cara," Peter said.
"Likewise. Do you want breakfast?" she asked and Peter nodded. "Then sit down."
Peter sat down at the table and looked at them all.
"So can I know why one of your enemies is eating breakfast with you? It's a bit strange, even for you Tony," Peter said.
"Even for me? Wow you are not nice to me today."
"Ignore him," Cara said. "If you give me some information about you I can give you the story."
"You can? Great," Peter said and then started telling information about himself and Cara listened to the boy as he told the story on about how he got his powers, what he did, how he got to know Tony and what he wanted to do with his powers.
"Do you think you can help me with something later Peter?" Cara asked.
"What?"
"I tell you later if you have time?" she asked and Peter nodded. And when Thor had walked to the bathroom with the twins to help them clean up themselves after cleaning up the food she then started to tell the story about how Loki got there.
When she was done, Steve and Bruce had joined them for breakfast and they had a good time. Peter had not been judgmental at all when he heard Loki's story. He actually thought it was cool that they had saved Loki and helped him. Loki had not looked at him at all and Cara had hold his hand, and he had given her a small smile. When Peter had asked a few question he had dropped it and they had starting to talk about other stuff and Cara noticed how Loki started to relax again. And soon Thor got back with the twins who started to talk with Peter and wanting to know more about his powers.
After breakfast Cara went to talk to Peter, Thor started to clean up and he actually got Tony to help him, Tony said it was because he wanted, but Thor said it was because he said that Cara may hang them up and down again if they haven't cleaned up when she got back. Steve was just about to leave when Loki walked over to him and he was a bit surprised.
"Hi Loki," Steve said, trying not to scare him, he still remembered what had happened the last time they was alone.
"Hi," Loki said after a few seconds and Steve could tell that he was nervous.
"Did you need something?" Steve asked and he also felt very nervous, but he tried not to show it, and to give Loki the time he needed. Steve thought that it must be something important since Loki never had talked to him like this before.
"I need your help, if you are willing to," he said in a very low voice and that made Steve very surprised, Loki needed his help?
"Um sure, what do you need help with?" Steve asked, really wondering why he didn't ask Cara, she would always help him. Or did yesterday not go as well as he thought, was Cara maybe still mad at him?
"I wanted to do something for Cara," Loki started and Steve stared at him in surprise. "After how I treated her yesterday. I really want to apologise."
Loki then stopped for a second, and Steve didn't say anything, not sure what he should say.
"I want to buy her flowers, but that means I need to leave the tower and… and I don't want to go alone," Loki almost whispered and Steve still stared at him, he never thought Loki would say something like that. It was really sweet of him and at that moment Steve understood that Cara really meant a lot to Loki.
"Forget it," Loki said and Steve understood that he had just stared at him.
"Wait Loki," Steve said and Loki looked at him. "I am sorry; I was just surprised. But it is no problem, I will help you. Even if I am surprised that you asked me. Why not ask Thor?"
Loki just gave Steve a look that more or less asked if he was stupid, and at that moment Steve felt stupid, guessing Thor would be to no help at all.
"I understand. But why not anyone of the others?" He asked and once again Loki gave him a look and Steve laughed nervously. The looks Loki gave him was closer to the Loki he had meet a few years ago, and as it was great to see him become more like himself, it was also a bit scary.
"We also want to do something for mother," the twins suddenly said, Steve and Loki looked at them. "We hurt her this morning!"
Loki just looked at them, really unsure. And Steve understood that he feared that he wouldn't be able to protect them outside the tower if something happened, at least not alone and Steve wasn't sure that he could either.
"Would it feel better if Bruce joined us?" Steve asked and Loki looked at him, but he was really unsure, knowing what it meant if Bruce joined them and something happened. "We can ask Tony if it feels better?"
"No!" Loki just said and Steve guessed that it was because Tony would not be able to not tease Loki about buying flowers, Steve just thought it was really cute. "Bruce is fine."
"Then I go and ask him, and whenever you are ready we can leave," Steve said and walked off to find Bruce, as he left he heard Loki talk to the twins about what they should do if something happened.
As they walked down the streets the twins were pointing and looking really happy as they passed things. They hold hands and always stayed close to them, and Steve was happy about that, since he didn't need to worry that they would run off, meaning he could focus on Loki. Or rather the older blond man walking next to them.
Steve would never have known that it was Loki if he passed him on the streets, which of course was the point, but Steve knew that if Loki decided to run away now, they would most likely never found him. But Loki just walked next to him, very nervously, he looked around him all the time, like he was expecting an attack any moment. Steve would not admit it or let it show, but it actually made him a bit nervous too. He would try to protect Loki if someone come, but seeing the God being nervous of what may come, Steve wasn't even sure if he could protect him. Bruce who walked next to the twins, talking to them seemed very calm, and he hoped he was.
"Thank you," Loki almost whispered to Steve who smiled.
"It is no problem, I am glad that I can help," he answered and looked at the twins. "And they look really happy to be out of the tower."
Steve was glad that the twins always seemed so happy about everything, even if they seemed to be very protective of each other, which was only natural.
"It's unfair to force them to stay in the tower," Loki said and Steve looked at him, and even he could tell how guilty Loki felt about it.
"I am sure they don't mind. They seem to be very happy there too, so don't you worry about it," Steve tried to comfort him.
"I hope so," Loki only answered him looking at his sons.
"I don't think you need to hope. They never seem to complain. I think they are really happy with their uncle, father and Cara there," Steve said and Loki slowly nodded.
"She is great with them," Loki admitted and Steve nodded.
"She is amazing with all of us. Living with everyone can turn all of us crazy sometimes, but she seems to handle it just fine, in fact more than fine," Steve admitted and Loki looked at him, and Steve thought that Loki looked a bit suspicious about his words, and Steve almost hit himself for doing it again. He didn't mean anything by it. "I just meant it as a compliment, nothing more. Don't you worry about me getting in the way of you two. I am not that kind of guy, and I have Peggy."
"No you are to noble for that Captain," Loki almost smirked and Steve thought he heard a bit of mocking in Loki's voice, like he used to talk to them the first time they meet. And to hear that actually made Steve happy, the old Loki wasn't a person he preferred, but to see him starting to become himself was better than the Loki he was now.
"But I almost lost her yesterday," Loki then said and Steve could hear the sorrow in his voice, and he was surprised by it. Even if he started to understand how much Cara meant to Loki, he didn't think Loki would be sorry for something like that. If Cara always saw this side, a gentle and caring Loki, Steve understood why she liked him.
"She would never leave you," Steve told him.
"That is very naïve of you to believe that Steve," Loki said and Steve gave him a wondering look. "Everyone can leave you if you hurt them enough!"
Steve was about to say anything about it but then he stopped, knowing that Loki was right and he couldn't argue about it.
"But you would never hurt her enough for her to leave you," Steve said with confidence.
"You are giving me more credit then I deserve," Loki said. "But I hope you are right."
"When it comes to her I don't think I do. You are actually on your way to buy her flowers," Steve said and at those words he thought he saw Loki blush for a second before it disappeared.
"Let's just get there," Loki said and walked over to his kids and Steve smiled, never thinking he could win an argument with Loki, because he saw this as a victory. But Steve knew that it would most likely never happen again.
When they walked into the flower shop the twins started to look at all the flowers right away.
"What about this father?" Narfi said and pointed at a big tree.
"Or this one?" Váli said and pointed at a flower in a shoe and Loki smiled towards them.
"They are lovely, but not what I had in mind," he answered them and the twin looked at some of the other flowers, pointing and actually dragging Bruce with them to hear his opinion. Steve smiled at Bruce who just walked with them, and telling them some facts about all of them.
"Hello, can I help you?" A young girl asked as she walked out from the room behind. On her name tag Steve could read Melinda.
"Yes," Loki said and the young woman smiled.
"With what?" Melinda asked and Loki took a deep breath. Steve could tell that he felt really uncomfortable talking to a stranger in a environment he could not control or was familiar with.
"We want some flowers," Steve said, trying to help and the woman laughed.
"That I could guess. Any specific type, and for what?" She asked and Steve looked at Loki, he had no idea what Loki wanted. "Is it for you two? You are a really sweet couple."
Steve and Loki looked at each other before they turned away.
"We aren't a couple," Steve said with a red face.
"I am so sorry," Melinda said.
"I would like to buy green roses if you have?" Loki finally said and the girl nodded.
"It's a unusual request but I have it. How many would you like to buy?" she asked.
"20 I think," Loki answered and Melinda walked away to get the flowers.
"Green roses?" Steve asked and Loki looked at him and nodded.
"Green is her favourite colour, and roses is her favourite flower," Loki informed him.
"You know that?" Steve was a bit surprised.
"You don't know which is Peggy's favourite colour and flower?" Loki asked and Steve become red again. In fact, he couldn't. "Maybe that's something you should learn."
"Is that important to girls?" He asked and Loki gave him a look and Steve rubbed his neck. "Guess it is."
"Here are the flowers. Do you want anything else?" Melinda said when she walked back with the bouquet.
"Do you have a silver ribbon to tie them with?" Loki asked and Steve looked at him.
"Her other favourite colour," Loki explained and Steve felt really stupid for not knowing Peggy's favourite colour, but Peggy wasn't a woman that cared about such things, but Cara didn't seem to be either. Yet Loki the super evil villain knows what his… Steve guessed he should call Cara his girlfriend or something, not so Loki would hear but still, knew such things about her.
"Are you happy with this?" Melinda asked and showed him the bouquet and Loki nodded. "That will be 170 dollar then."
At that moment it hit Steve that he hadn't given Loki any money, or had any on him, but Loki handled over the money and Steve gave him a look, and Loki smiled.
"Some habits is hard to break," he almost joked and Steve's eyes got big, knowing that Loki meant he had stolen the money.
"I do not approve of this," Steve told him, feeling like he schooled a kid, and Loki actually laughed at him.
"Didn't ask for your approval," he said and took the bouquet when Melinda handled it over and then turned towards the kids and Bruce when they walked up to them.
"They are lovely father. I think Mother will love them," Narfi said and Loki smiled.
"Let's hope so," he said. "Do you want to give her something her as well?"
"No, we want to give her something else!" Váli said and smiled.
"And what may that be?" Loki asked.
"You will see," Narfi said and smiled towards Bruce who only nodded and they all left the boutique.
At the tower Cara just left the elevator and walked towards Fandral's cell. She didn't even bother to knock as she walked in. The man was sitting on the floor looking really angry, and his temperament didn't seem to approve when she walked in.
"So you are back?" He said with disgust.
"I am," she said and walked over to him. "And we will have a talk now."
"Oh please school me about how I was treating Loki yesterday, especially since you left him!" Fandral said and she just smiled.
"I am not going to school you about that, or talk about my behaviour. We are going to talk about who know about Loki's situation in Asgard," she said.
"Like I will tell you!" he answered.
"Thought you may say that. That's why we are going to take a walk. Maybe that will get you talking," she said and casted a spell that handcuffed him and she then pulled him up on his feet. "Let's go!"
Cara had taken him to the roof and they were now standing on the edge looking down on the streets below. She was calm, smiling as she stood there next to Fandral. The wind was playing with her hair and she laughed and talked to the birds, as Fandral stood next to her, really scared when he looked down.
"So this is how it is. You are going to tell me what I want, or you will fly with the birds for a few seconds, until you don't fly anymore!"
"You are crazy!" Fandral said almost panicking.
"Guess I have that from my father and step mother," Cara informed him and said hello to another bird.
"I…you…don't… I…" Fandral started but then stopped and smiled, and Cara could tell that he had got an idea. "You won't do it!"
"And why is that?"
"Because you really want the information I have, and you have stopped Thor when he wanted to kill me!" Fandral said.
"I did stop Thor the first time, yesterday was actually Loki," she said in a calm voice.
"Doesn't matter, you need the information I have!" Fandral smiled and actually laughed at her. "You need me!"
"Do I know?" Cara asked, still in a calm voice that actually made Fandral stop laughing. "Let me ask you a thing? What make you so sure that you are the only one with the information I need? Can you tell me that no one else in Asgard has is it?"
Fandral stopped smiling at those words, knowing it was true. He wasn't the only one with the information.
"Actually I think I will look for them instead, they can't be worse than you! They may even talk, and with you out of the way, Loki will feel a bit safer," Cara said and stepped closer.
"Don…" Fandral started when Cara pushed him out from the roof and then sat down, looking as he was falling down, screaming. Cara smiled at the look of fear in Fandral's eyes as she had pushed him.
When the screamed stopped she looked down and saw that he had landed in the net Spider-Man had put up, and the young boy was climbing up with Fandral, and she was waiting patiently.
"Hey," Peter said when they reached the top.
"Hey yourself," Cara answered and looked at Fandral who was really white and shaking.
"You really pushed him," Peter said and she nodded.
"I am a woman of my words. But thank you for helping me catch him," she said.
"No problem, glad to be at help," he answered and Cara nodded before she turned towards Fandral.
"Feel like talking now?" she asked.
"You are crazy! Really Crazy," Fandral shouted at her.
"Thought we already had established that," She just answered. "So either you talk now, or I push you out from the roof again, and this time it will not be a net!"
"I would listen to her man. She is really mad at you," Fandral looked at Peter then at Cara. Fandral didn't seem to know what to do, he looked at the edge of the roof and then towards Cara again. He could tell that she meant it, she would push him over again, and then hunt down someone else that could help her.
"Give me something to write on," Fandral finally said, not wanting to die.
"See that wasn't that hard," Cara said and smiled.
"Cara!" Cara turned around to see Natasha coming out from the elevator, just as she had returned Fandral to his cell.
"Hi," Cara said and Natasha walked over to her.
"I was just about to talk to Fury, do you want to join me?" Natasha asked. She would manage on her own without a problem, but she had nothing against the company.
"I would love to," Cara said and Natasha nodded.
"Then let's go," she said with a smile.
"You seem to be a bit too happy to do this to your boss," Cara said.
"I am my own boss, and I know when I shall abounded a ship and move on," Natasha informed her.
"That sounds reliable," Cara joked.
"It keeps me alive," Natasha said and meant it.
"The things you do to stay alive," Cara said and Natasha nodded, knowing what Cara meant. Some people, including herself could almost do anything to stay alive. And it wasn't something she was ashamed of.
"The things you do to stay alive," Natasha repeated as they walked into Fury's cell.
"So it is your turn now? Figured out that Steve would not work, so then you send the spy and the wife instead!" Fury said with hate and disappointment in his voice.
"I am not his wife, or the mother to his children," Cara said and Fury was about to say something. "But you don't believe that."
"I do not," Fury said and Cara smiled.
"I feel like this is going to be a fun talk," Cara said to Natasha who smiled.
"Maybe a bit one sided," she answered.
"Do you think that you are getting away with this Natasha?" Fury asked. "You and the rest? They are going to be looking for me and the others."
"Oh that reminds me, I need to make clones of them all!" Cara said with a smile.
"You can do that?" Natasha asked.
"I can do anything with magic!" Cara laughed and Natasha gave her a look. "Fine not anything, but a lot, and clones are one of them!"
"That's really handy," Natasha said.
"It is. And I don't think anyone at this S.H.I.E.L.D. will notice," Cara said and smiled towards Fury.
"They will notice that something is off!" he informed her.
"Really? I do not think so."
"First wrong answer and they will now that I have been compromised!" Fury informed her.
"But here is the good thing, it will not give any wrong answers, because it will have your memories and act like you!" Cara said and raised her hands and they started to glow in blue and after a few minutes a copy of Fury was standing there.
"How will it get the memories?" Natasha asked.
"This is how," Cara said and stood up. She placed one hand on the temple of the clone and the other hand on the temple of the real Fury and Natasha saw how a white glow was going from the real Fury to the copy.
"Can't you read his mind and get some information that way?" Natasha asked.
"Sadly mindreading isn't something I mastered, something my father was really unhappy with. I only learned to stop people from reading my mind, and that was all that mattered to me."
"Is there no other way to do it?" Natasha asked.
"Well if I had a pensieve, which is a magical object where you put memories and can watch them. But I do not own one and I doubt that I can get one from the ministry of magic without problem, because they really don't like me," Cara said with a laugh.
"Ministry of magic? There is no such thing," Fury said and Cara raised an eyebrow.
"And you should be an agency that keep track of things," she said. "I can let you in on a secret, since you aren't leaving this room for a while, that and that I don't care about the magic world anymore. There is ministry of magic in almost every country in the world."
Cara then backed away when she was done.
"And can't we ask the copy of Fury for answers?" Natasha asked.
"Won't work. He is going to act just like this Fury." Cara said and sat down. "So we need to make the real Fury talk. But it looks like I took over your interrogation Natasha. I do apologise for that."
"It was fine," She said and then turned to Fury. "As you will most likely be here for a long time it would help you to talk, to tell us more about Odin."
"Why do you want to know? What do you get out of this?" Fury asked Natasha.
"Me? I get to be free from you actually. And I that is all that matters right now," Natasha said and Fury looked at her.
"You will not be free!"
"Anyway if I was you I should think about my options. Odin is not one of them," Natasha said.
"And why is that? Are you going to help Loki take over Asgard and then earth?" Fury said.
"You really think that low off me, don't answer that," Natasha said and stood up. "And it's not Loki who will take over Asgard"
"Then who, her?" Fury said and pointed at Cara.
"Oh I was queen of Asgard a short period when Loki was king. It was not something I liked, so I will not sit on the throne. No Asgard has a far better queen to do that job," Cara said and walked towards the door with Natasha and the clone of Fury.
"Tell Jarvis when you feel like talking," Natasha said and they left the room.
"Isn't this Fury going to tell where the real Fury is?" Natasha asked and looked at the clone.
"I never gave him that memory, he will not remember this either. He will think that he was away on a mission with the others. And that reminds me that I need to make a clone of them too," Cara said.
"Then let's go. Maybe they will tell us something," Natasha said.
"You are very hopeful," Cara said with a look.
"You can't blame me for trying."
"No I cannot" Cara answered as they walked to Hill's cell.
When they had visited the other two and made clones of them, without getting any information from them, they had sent the clones on their way. After that they had returned to the common room and Cara walked over to Thor.
"Here," she said and handed over the paper from Fandral.
"What is this?" Thor asked.
"It's a list of all the people Fandral know touched Loki, and the people who know what was going on, but didn't touch him," Cara explained and Thor looked through the list and stopped at Sif's name.
"She did know?" he asked in a sad voice.
"I am sorry," Cara said, knowing who Thor was thinking off. Cara did not like the other woman, and Sif did not like her, but Cara knew that Sif was a close friend to Thor.
"I need to give the list to mother, and I need to talk to Sif," Thor said.
"I wish you the best, but be careful Thor, if the information gets out that you knew about Loki, we may have bigger problems then friends betraying us," Cara said and Thor nodded.
"I will be careful," Thor said as he walked towards the roof but then stopped. "I almost forgot. Loki is in the dining with the twins, and I think he need some help. Last time I looked the dining room looked like a warzone. It was paint everywhere, and Narfi had turned almost all the furniture to animals."
Cara looked at him.
"Thank you for telling me, best that I get over there before they destroy the room," she said and walked towards the dining room.
Cara was expecting to see paint everywhere, a destroyed table and other things, even that something would have exploded, but when she got there she stopped in surprise. She just stared at the dining room and blinked, thinking that she was dreaming.
The dining room was lit with hundreds of candles, the table was set and the food placed on it smelled heavenly, and it made her realise how hungry she was. In the background, her favourite classical music was playing. And she could see the stars on the celling. She didn't understand what was going on, so she just stood there looking really stupid.
"Mother," the twins said and was running towards her and Cara turned around and faced them.
"Hi," she said a bit surprised, as they hugged her legs and she kneeled down so she could give them a real hug.
"Do you like it?" Narfi asked and looked over the room and Cara did the same she returned her gaze to them.
"You did this?" She asked, still surprised, she was really not following.
"We did, and father. And the others helped too," Váli said and she looked at him. "But it was all fathers idea."
"It was?" Cara asked, , not sure why Loki would do something like that.
"I hope you like it" Loki suddenly said as he walked into the room and she looked at him, or rather stared at him. She didn't mean to, not at all, but as he walked towards her in a suit that fit him very well and a bouquet of green roses she could do nothing else but stare. She slowly stood up and she was still silent, she was so caught off guard that she didn't know what to say.
"She don't like it," Narfi said in a sad voice and Cara looked at him and forced a smile.
"I do, I really do. I just don't get why?"
"I wanted to apologise for yesterday," Loki told her and she gave him a puzzled look.
"But you didn't need too," She only said and looked around in the room.
"I felt like I needed too," Loki told her and she looked back towards him.
"I don't want you to feel like you need to do stuff for me," she informed him. She really didn't want him to feel like that.
"I know that I don't, and I also did this because I wanted," Loki told her and walked closer to her. "I am really sorry if you don't like it, I thought you would."
Cara shook her head.
"I really do like it. I am just shocked and I don't know. I feel like it is too much," she said.
"But we hurt you!" Váli said and she tilted her head and wasn't sure what he meant. "This morning."
"Oh," she sat down again so she could look the twins in the eyes. "I don't want you to feel bad for that. You did nothing wrong, and you did not hurt me."
Cara hugged the twins.
"We didn't mean to force you to take care of us," Narfi said and those words hurt to hear.
"You did not force me, never think that," Cara said to them and hugged them again before she stood up again and looked at Loki before she started to cry.
"I am so sorry," she said, not really wanting to cry and Loki put down the flowers on the table and walked over and hugged her.
"Why are you apologising?"
"Don't be sad mother," the twins said and those words made Cara laugh.
"I am not sad, I am happy. It is just too much, I…" she could not finish the sentence.
"Does that mean we can't give you your gift?" Váli asked and Cara looked at them.
"You got me gifts too?" she asked.
"We did!" Narfi said with a big smile. "Ours is better than fathers too! He only got your flowers."
"Yes, ours is so much better," Váli said and laughed as the twins ran away to get something and Cara looked at Loki.
"Are you alright?" Loki asked and she leaned against his chest.
"I am alright. I just don't know. It is so much and I wasn't prepared for it," she said.
"I wanted it to be a surprise," Loki said and Cara laughed.
"Well you managed to do that," she answered.
"I am just glad that Natasha could keep you occupied while the rest of us did this," Loki said and Cara laughed again.
"I did not understand that it was what she was doing, she is good," Cara admitted and Loki nodded.
"Cara I am really sorry for yesterday!" Loki said in a low voice as he rested his chin on her head, barely being able since she was almost as tall as him.
"I know you are Loki," she said. "But you still didn't need to do all this."
"I wanted to show you how much I appreciate everything you do for me," he told her.
"I am just glad that I can be here for you, but thank you for doing this," Cara answered him and she really meant it.
She was glad that she could be there for him. And she loved what he had done.
"And Cara, I promise to never hurt you again," Loki told her and at those words Cara met his eyes.
"Thank you Loki," she answered him, knowing that he meant it. She took his hands and smiled towards him and Loki smiled back, and they just stood there looking at each other for a few seconds before the twins got back.
"Mother!" They said again and she turned to them and saw that they was holding a Siberian kitten in their arms and she smiled.
"Is this for me?" she asked and they nodded.
"He is!" Narfi said and handled him over.
"Do you like him?" Váli asked.
"I love him. Thank you so much," Cara said and gave both of them a hug. "Does he has a name?"
"No, you can name him," Narfi said and Cara thought about it and then smiled.
"I will name him Fai," she said.
"That is a really nice name," Váli said.
"It is. I had a friend who had that name years ago, before he passed away, and he was called big cat," she told them.
"Why?" Narfi asked.
"Because there were a family of four. It was Fai the big cat, then there was Kurogane who was big dog, and the kids Syaron, little dog and Sakuara little cat," she told them. "But that's another story."
"They were just like us, a family," Váli said and Cara smiled towards them.
"Yes," she only said, trying not to cry again. "But does this little fellow have a home?"
"Yes we have given him a home in your room," Narfi said and Cara smiled.
"Will you bring him back there? Kittens need a lot of sleep and peace and quiet," she said and the twins nodded and she gave them Fai and they ran off again and Cara stood up with a smile.
"They were very happy when they thought of the present," Loki said and Cara smiled.
"It was a lovely present, just like the flowers and the rest. You remembered the things I like," she said and Loki smiled.
"You thought I had forgotten?" He asked and she shook her head.
"No I did not, but you have had other things to think of," she just said, not wanting to make Loki think of it.
"That is true, but that does not mean I forget things about you," he said and blushed slightly and Cara smiled and then looked at his clothes again.
"I feel like I am a bit underdressed," she said and looked down at her trousers and top tank.
"Doesn't matter, you still look beautiful," and Cara blushed this time.
"Thank you," she said and hugged him. "But I think I will change to something more fitting."
At those words Cara snapped with her fingers and her clothes become a black dress instead.
"You are beautiful in anything," Loki said and Cara laughed.
"I had almost forgotten how much of a charmer you can be," she said and Loki gave her a look. "I said almost."
At those words Loki chuckled and the twins come back.
"Can we eat now?" They asked and looked at them.
"As soon as I have put the flowers in a vase," she said and walked towards the kitchen and when she walked in she almost walked into Steve who was standing there with the others. They all smiled at her and it actually made her a bit uncomfortable.
"So?" Tony said almost jumping up and down.
"So?" She asked and reached for a vase.
"Did you forgive him?" Clint asked excited and she turned with a smile.
"I did forgive him yesterday," she told them.
"With all this you have to forgive hi…" Tony said and then stopped "You did? So all this was for nothing?"
At those words Cara laughed.
"It was not. I loved it, even if they and you didn't need to do this," she said.
"It was all Loki's idea. We just helped him with some small things," Steve said and she smiled.
"Thank you for helping him," she said. "I am glad that you did, I am really glad that you are nice to him."
"You care more about that, then that what we did?" Clint said and she nodded.
"That all that matters for me. If you had only helped him collect rocks I would have been happy, because you are there for him," Cara said and then took the vase and walked towards the door back to the dining room. "But you did more than I could ever ask for, so really thank you."
"You are welcome. And we leave you alone for tonight," Tony said and Cara nodded and walked back to the others.
"So can we eat now?" The twins asked again and Cara put down the vase and nodded.
"We can," she sat down next to Loki who smiled towards her as did the twins before they took some food.
"Here try this!" Narfi said and handed over a pie to her. "We made it."
Cara smiled and took a piece of the pie and smiled.
"You did great," she said after tasting it and the twins smiled wide.
"Did you hear father?" Váli asked and Loki laughed.
"Yes I did, we are in the same room," Loki answered and the twins laughed too and Cara got a warm feeling, she had really missed Loki. It was never easy for her to to lose someone, but she had felt as she failed Loki when he let go and fell down into the abyss. Cara turned towards Loki when she felt like he was watching her.
"Is something wrong?"
"I am just glad to see you this happy," Loki said and kissed her forehead and she stared at him and he let go of her as he did something wrong.
"I am sorry," he said and she took his hand.
"You have nothing to be sorry for. I will not be mad at you for doing things like this," she told him, knowing that he was most likely punished for doing things like that. When you were a prisoner you often tried to play along and do what you thought that the people hurting you wanted, sometimes it worked. But Cara guessed it hadn't worked since Loki reacted like he did.
"You mean it?" Loki asked in a low voice and she smiled.
"I mean it. I am more than okay with it Loki, but take it at your own time, like I said yesterday I can wait," Cara told him and Loki smiled back.
"Thank you," he answered her and she nodded.
"Nothing to thank me for," she answered and then turned to the twins when they giggled.
"And what are you giggling at, young men?" Cara asked giving them a curious look.
"You just look so happy together," Narfi said with a big smile.
"More than father ever did with our real mother," Váli said and Cara looked shocked at Loki who just shrugged his shoulders and Cara smiled towards him before she turned to the twins.
"I am glad I can make him happy," she said and the twins nodded.
"It makes us happy to see. We want you to be happy!" Narfi said and Cara was once again overwhelmed and surprised over how kind the twins was.
"And we want you to be happy too," Cara told them and Loki nodded.
"We are happy when we are here, with you. So please never leave again mother," Váli told her.
"I won't," Cara said and smiled towards all of them. She knew that was a lie, she had promised to return to Harley and the others, but she didn't need to tell the twins now, especially since she didn't know when she would be leaving.
"Good because we will not let you!" Narfi said and Cara laughed.
"Is that right? Well then I better not try," she said and the twins nodded and continue to eat again and Cara looked around the room once more.
"Thank you for all this. It really means a lot to me," she said to them with a big smile and the twins smiled towards her and Loki hugged her.
"Mother can you tell us a story about one of the other worlds you have been in?" Narfi asked and Cara looked at them and smiled.
"I can do that. This is a story about a land called Araluen and a man named Halt and his apprentice Will…" Cara started.
