So here is the next chapter. And it took me the whole day to write it, since I got a bit side tracked a few times. Haha but well yeah. I had fun writing this chapter, even if that may be the wrong thing to say. But I had the scene in the end, planned for the longest time, and I am glad I got there. And the next time I will go to the rest of the scene.

I also had Loki's actions planed for the longest time, I just wanted them to be at the right time, and for me it was. For Loki, not so much. Haha

And yeah the characters they are, well most of them are obvious. But well I can say that Clint and Natasha are Mr. and Mrs. Addams, from Addams family.
Cara is Sansa from Game of Thrones, and she is my favorite character, so that's why she was her.
And Hans Solo is ofc from Star Wars.
Tony and Pepper are Elizabeth and Will from Pirates of Caribbean.
Thor and Jane are well the Flintstones.
And Steve and Peggy are from the Zorro movies.
Don't think I need to explain the kids costume.
Wanda is dressed up as a vampire, or that Strange is Sherlock Holmes (haha just because I could).

I don't think I have so much more to say. The most is self explained in the chapter.

And as always, thank you to my readers, you are the best!

I hope this chapter will be to your likening :)


"So what are we are doing?" Loki asked and he gave her a very puzzled look, and Cara laughed.
"We are going to celebrate Halloween."
"And that is? And an even more important question is, why?" Loki stood next to her and looked at the common room, who was stocked with pumpkins.

"It's an holiday here on earth. I must admit that I am a bit unsure about its history. I know it's a Celtic tradition from the beginning, but I am not sure why they celebrated it. I think it was to keep in peace with the dead souls, but I may be wrong. During time it has changed to what it is today. Today it's just for fun. You dress up as something, normally things that people think is scary, and you have a party," Cara explained. "And we are doing this because Tony insisted on it, and ones he started talking your kids more or less demanded that we did it."

"Remind me that they should spend less time with him," Loki said and Cara smiled.
"It is really fun Loki. It's one of my favourite holidays. You can be someone else for a night, and if you feel like it, you can try to scare your friends," Cara looked at him and Loki just shook his head.
"It's seems so pointless and silly," he said and Cara laughed again.
"It is, but everything doesn't need to have meaning. You can do things just because it's fun. But I am not going to force you to participate, but I am going to. And your son's is going to too, and I am sure that they would love if you were there."
"You had to play that card," Loki said and Cara just smiled as she walked over to some pumpkins.
"I didn't play any card, I just told you the truth," she said ad Tony walked into the room, caring more pumpkins as he talked to Pepper.

"You don't think we have enough pumpkins?" Pepper asked.
"Not yet. I promised the kids a lot of pumpkins, and I am going to give them that," Tony said and Cara looked at Loki who smiled at Tony's words.
"You are going to trip if you carry them all," Loki said to Tony as he took some of the pumpkins.
"Thank you Reindeer games," Tony said. Cara watched both of them and smiled. She was glad that they had become better friends. And she was also really happy that everything had gotten back to somewhat normal.

The past month had been hard for Loki, Cara knew that. He hated that everyone knew about Odin, even if they didn't know the details. He had avoided them at first, and Cara didn't know if it was for the best or not. The others had been angry, they hadn't known how to handle the situation, even less then she did. And every time they saw Loki, they either tried to act normal but failed, or they got sad, and almost pity him, something he hated. Cara had been forced to talk to them, and try to tell them how to act.

But it hadn't been easy for her, since she wasn't sure herself. She had tried to act normal around Loki, letting him know that she was there, and that nothing had changed. And it hadn't, not between them. She was just angry every time she thought of Odin, and in the beginning it had been all the time. But she had forced herself to stop. She could do nothing about Odin, not now, not later. She had to wait until they tried to take him down, and then see Odin got his punishment. Until then she forced all thoughts and feelings away. And in the end she stopped thinking about Odin, and things got easier, at least for now. But since she could do nothing, she knew that it was no idea to think about it, and run things with Loki.

And after some time the others got that too. And things started to become normal, and they all put their feelings away, for Loki's sake. After some time, Loki started to act like himself around them too. They all pretended that they knew nothing, and they made it work. It was around that time Tony had thought it was a great idea to have a party. A time for all their friends to have a good time, and just some fun. Not worrying about the upcoming fight, or anything else. And when Tony described what Halloween was to the twins, they wanted to try it, thinking it sounded fun. So now they all prepared for tonight's evening.

Cara lifted up a pumpkin and looked at it with a smile.
"Thinking of carving it?" Tony asked when he put down the pumpkins he had in his arms. Cara nodded towards him. "Feel free, just know that I am the best at carving pumpkins! In the whole world."
"Carving pumpkins? Why?" Loki asked as he put down his and Cara took up one.
"You put a candle in them, and as you soon will see, I am not too bad at it," she said with a smirk towards Tony.
"Give it your best shoot, but no magic!"
"I will only use magic when I take out the meat, it will take too long to show Loki otherwise," she said and Tony agreed and when Cara had removed the meat she started to carving.

When she was done she had carved a zombie on it and Tony looked at it in shook.
"How? So fast," he just said and Cara laughed. "This look really realistic, I think."
"How? Well I have friends who are surgeons, they thought me how to use a scalpel, and I am an artist. That, and it's not my first pumpkin," she teased and then smiled. "It is realistic, trust me, I have been really close to them."
"How is it?" Tony asked and looked at her, when Loki took the pumpkin and looked at it.
"Not as fun as you seem to think it is. They smell since they are dead, and if it's a lot of them, you can only hope for the best," she told him and then looked at Loki.

"Can I try?" He asked and they nodded.
"Go ahead reindeer," Tony said and Cara gave him the scalpel. "So what are you going to be?"
"You will see," Cara just said.
"I hate waiting. Can't you just give me a clue?" Tony said and Pepper shook her head.
"He is hopeless. He has tried to tell everyone to tell them who they will be."
"Any luck?" Cara asked and Tony looked proud.

"I managed to get Thor to tell me that he and Jane will be Wilma and Fred Flintstone," Tony said.
"Making my brother to talk isn't an achievement," Loki said without looking up from the pumpkin.
"I also made Steve tell me that he and Peggy will be Zorro and Elena," Tony bragged.
"Making Steve talk isn't an achievement either. You need to make Natasha or Clint talk for it to be," Loki said and Cara laughed, and so did Pepper.

"Hey, you are supposed to me on my side," Tony said to Pepper who just smiled.
"What are you going to be?" Cara asked and Tony looked proud.
"We are going to be Will Turner and Elizabeth Sawnn," Pepper said.
"Why did you tell her? Now it's not a surprise anymore," Tony pouted and sounded like a kid and Cara just smiled.

"I am done," Loki said and they looked over at his pumpkin.
"Wow," Tony said and looked at the cat. "How did you do that? Damn you two, I was the best"
Cara and Loki just laughed at Tony.
"Live for a hundred of years, and you will pick up a few things, Tony," Loki just teased and Tony sighed.
"You can't do any more pumpkins!" he said.
"Well then we leave," Cara said and took Loki's hand as they walked off.


"So do you want to participate tonight?" Cara asked as they walked toward Loki's room.
"If it makes you, and the kids happy, I will," Loki said and kissed her on the forehead.
"It will makes us happy. But don't force yourself to go for our sake. I want you to enjoy it," Cara said. She would love to have Loki there, but not if he didn't want to.
"I am still not good on enjoying things without a point, but I can't get better without practise. And I am sure I will enjoy seeing my brother and friends looking silly," Loki said and Cara stared at him, and at once Loki looked really unsure.

"Oh sorry Loki, I just was surprised, I haven't heard you call them friends before," she said and Loki didn't say anything. "Loki it's a good thing."
"I guess you are right. I just…I don't know. It scares me," he admitted and Cara nodded.
"First off, I am always right," she joked. "And it's alright to be scared. But we take one step at a time, and admitting you are friends is a great start."

"So what do you want to be?" Cara asked when they got to Loki's room.
"I don't know," Loki said as he sat down in a chair. "I don't do things like this. Can you be anyone?"
"You can be anyone or anything. People often chose something scary, but it's not necessary," Cara explained. At those word Loki just nodded before he started to think and Cara gave him time, as she smiled. She thought it was wonderful that Loki wanted to do something like that.

She thought of how it was when they first met years ago. How Loki back then had been more or less forced to be alone, how he barely cared about people, and how all he wanted was the approval of Odin. He was so different when they started to hang out. He had an aura of cockiness around him, thinking he knew everything and could do everything, but also how he had been reluctant to let her in, not that she had been any different. Back then she hadn't done much to change that, not at first at all, because she wasn't interested.

But after some time it changed, even if she could understand somethings about him, it still took time before she got to know him. But she was glad that she took the time to do so. Even if it had ended in tears that time. She had been devastated and angrier then she could explain, not at Loki, no at Thor and Odin. She now knew why Odin had done what he had done, and Thor, he had really tried. Cara had understood that. Thor had been blind and not the brother he could have been, but he really had tried to save Loki at the end. But none of that mattered now, she had Loki back in her life. And even if he had changed, it was still Loki. And no matter what change he did, she would always love him.

"What?" Loki asked and Cara realised that she had been looking at him.
"Nothing, I am just glad to have you back in my life," she admitted and Loki looked a bit puzzled about it at first.
"Oh. I am sorry for ever leaving you," Loki said in a low voice, and Cara could hear how much he blamed himself.
"Don't be. I fully understand why you did it, and I do not blame you," Cara said and took Loki's hand. The God slowly nodded, understanding that she really meant it. "So do you know what you want to be?"

"I think so" Loki said "As long as you don't want to do that couple things the others does?"
"No I already have my costume, and as long as you don't want to do that, I am fine," Cara told him. She had decided what she would be a few days ago.
"I am thinking of going as a frost giant, if you wouldn't mind," Loki whispered, and Cara smiled. She knew how much Loki struggled with his heritage, and to hear him say he wanted to go as one, made her happy.

"I would not mind that. I have always liked your blue form," she said and Loki looked at her.
"Really?" he asked, surprised.
"Yes. You always look good Loki, but it's something special when you are blue," she admitted and Loki blushed, and Cara laughed a warm laugh.
"I didn't know you was into that," Loki teased and Cara just shrugged her shoulders.
"I am sure that I wouldn't be, if it wasn't you," she said and Loki leaned forward and kissed her.
"Glad to hear that I don't need to worry about other frost giants," Loki said when they parted and she smiled.
"That you don't," Cara said. Not that he would need to worry about anyone else in this world. She would not leave him. "But let's get changed."


Cara looked at her reflections and was finishing her hair when Loki walked out from the closet. Cara looked at him with a smile.
"You really do look good like that," she said and walked over to him. "And in the uniform too."
"It's a traditional royal family gown," Loki explained and then looked at her, as she stood there in her black dress.
"You look good too my Lady," he teased "Not that I know who you are."

"You went with Sansa Stark?" Tony said as he walked into the room in his costume.
"I did," Cara answered.
"Why on earth would you do that?" He asked and Cara rolled her eyes.
"Because I like her, and before you ask why, it's because she reminds me of myself. Starting as a naïve girl, thinking that life would be in a certain way, before I realised that would not happen. Having to fight for my life and what I want, and learn how to play the game. And taking back what's mine," Cara told him and Tony was about to say something but stopped, realising that he could not win the argument with Cara.

So instead Tony turned towards Loki and he whistled.
"Wow you look really good in blue. Sexy in a strange way," Tony said and Loki looked down.
"Tony," Pepper said as she stood behind him.
"What he does! Can I lick you?" He asked without thinking, and both Cara and Pepper hit him.
"I apologise for him Loki," Pepper said and Loki only nodded.

"Who on earth ask if they can lick someone, Tony?" Cara asked.
"Like you wouldn't lick him? He looks amazing, and like a big popsicle."
"Well try to lick him and you will die!" Cara said.
"I know that you would kill me," Tony said and Cara shook her head.
"I wouldn't need, you would freeze to death first."

"Really? That makes it even hotter. He is so cool," Tony said, looking at Loki. And he couldn't help himself. He wasn't into guys, but he would be for Loki.
"I do apologise for him, again," Pepper said and then turned to Tony. "If you don't shut up, I may actually ask Loki to freeze you."
"But…" Tony started but when he saw Pepper's look he stopped talking about it. "You are all so boring. Anyway, we just come here to tell you that most people have arrived."

"Then let's go," Cara said and offered Loki her hand, but he looked really unsure. "Oh don't worry, you will not freeze me. I just use magic to protect me."
"And it will work? I do not wish to hurt you," Loki said and Cara smiled.
"Only one way to figure out," she said and took Loki's hand. Loki gave her a horrified look and she smiled. "Told you it would work."
Cara showed her hand and laughed.
"Very funny."


The common room was decorated as a cemetery, with graves all over the room. Trees around the room, spider webs hanging from the celling, most likely Peter's doing. The pumpkins was places all over the room, together with candles, and the whole room was covered in mist.
"Is this how you do it?" Loki asked.
"It can be. You can more or less do it anyway you want," Cara said and took a wine glass and handled over one to Loki.

"Thought Sansa was too young to drink," Tony said and Cara smiled.
"You are never to young to drink in Westeros," Cara told him. "And I thought that Will could only be on land one day each tenth year. And I am sure that it wasn't on Halloween."
"It is!" Tony answered, a bit grumpy that he was beaten on his own game, but Pepper laughed.
"You are supposed to be my wife!"
"As your wife I don't agree with you all the time. I do not agree with this tenth year thing," Pepper said.
"Not you too," Tony said.

"No one will ever agree with you," Clint said when he walked over.
"Hello Gomez, where do you have your wife Morticia?" Cara asked.
"She is getting drinks," Clint said just as Natasha walked over to them in a long black dress.
"It seems like I am not the only one wearing black this night," Natasha said and looked at Cara.
"No you are not. Even if you are the one looking scarier."
"I may look scarier, but I am sure Sansa would outwit Morticia every day," Natasha said.
"She would," Cara answered.

"And you are…blue" Clint said and looked at Loki. "What is it? Body paint?"
Clint was about to touch him when Cara stopped him.
"I wouldn't do that if I was you," She started before Tony interrupted her.
"He will freeze you, apparently," Tony said.
"And you know this how? Did you ask if you could lick him Tony? Damn you did. What is wrong with you?" Clint asked and soon the two of them was arguing and the others just left them.

"Father," Narfi called and ran over with Váli next to him. Cara looked at the twins in their Mario and Luigi costumes and smiled. They had started to take a liking to video games, especially Mario games.
"Hello," Loki said and sat down to hug them, being careful to turn into his normal skin, so he wouldn't freeze them.
"Mother," the twins said and looked at her when they got their hugs from Loki.
"Hi," Cara said and hugged them too.

"This is so cool!" Narfi said and looked at the room.
"And so fun!" Váli said and both her and Loki smiled, glad the twins enjoyed themselves.
"Have you seen Thor? He looks so funny," Narfi said and giggled.
"We haven't seen him yet. But we will watch out for him," Cara said and the twins nodded.
"Look Peter," they said before they ran off to the teenage boy who was dressed as a zombie.
"Let's see if we can find your brother," Cara said and took Loki's hand again.


Everyone enjoyed themselves, having a great night, with games, stories and amazing food. Tony had invited everyone that would take part in the attacking, so everyone would get to know each other better, and it had worked. They all had started to know each other, and Cara had smiled when Loki had talked to a lot of different people, acting more like his old self.

"He seems to have fun," Tony said when he come up to her, looking at Loki, who was talking with Strange, dressed as Sherlock Holmes and Erik, dressed as a elf.
"He has," Cara told him "Thank you for everything,"
"I didn't do anything."
"You do more than you think. And even if you handled it the wrong way earlier, with Loki being blue, he appreciated it. He has a hard time accepting his heritage, but knowing that people don't really care and accepts it, makes him happy, even if he doesn't say anything," Cara said and took a sip of her wine.
"That's how he looks normally?" Tony said surprised and Cara laughed.

"It is. Or it would have been if Odin hadn't changed his appearance," Cara said.
"When did he figure it out?" Tony asked, thinking he also would have a hard time accepting something like that.
"The first time I was in Asgard. So not that long ago."
"That must have been hard. Glad he had you," Tony said with a smile, knowing that Cara would have accepted Loki looking like that without a problem, and Cara didn't say anything about it, she just smiled.

"Do you want something Reindeer games?" Tony asked when Loki walked over.
"I would love to have a moment with Cara," Loki said and Tony pretended to think about it.
"Guess I can let you have a moment."
"That's very generous of you," Loki smirked.
"Don't tell Cara, but I am very sure that she would leave me here, and go with you, even if I said no," Tony said with a smile.
"You think I would do something like that?" Cara asked and pretended to be shocked at Tony's words, before she took Loki's hand and walked off.


They walked out on the balcony and watched over the city.
"Did you need something Loki?" Cara asked when he hugged her from behind.
"Just a break from everything. It did become a bit too much," he said and Cara nodded in his arms.
"Take as long as you need," She told him. "I am proud of you, for handling the night so well."
Loki didn't answer her, he just kissed her temple and pulled her closer. Cara leaned into the hug and they stood there under the stars, in silent. Enjoying each other's company. Cara could have stood there forever, with closed eyes, if Loki hadn't spoken again.

"Cara?" He asked and she nodded. "I feel like I can never thank you enough for being by my side through everything. For tolerate everything. You do it without thinking twice and I am surprised that you haven't given up on me already. You stood by my side the first time, and then I left you. When we saw each other again, I wasn't myself, but you still stayed. And I gave you such a hard time, being scared of everything, not talking or trusting anyone. Making it all difficult for you. Then when I started to be less scared, I become a mess, not knowing how to handle everything that come after, but you still stayed. And I am forever thankful for that, more than I can express, in words. Even me, who has a silver tongue, can't tell you how I feel."
Cara turned around to face Loki and she smiled towards him.

"You don't need to thank me, or say anything. I know how you feel," she said but Loki shook his head.
"I do need to thank you. And I want to let you know that I will always be here for you, trying to make you happy everyday," Loki started as he took her left hand. "I may not be able to express what I feel in words, but I may express it with actions."
Cara looked shocked at Loki, she could guess what this was heading, but it wasn't something she had thought of, or been prepared for. For a second she felt like the world had stopped, so she could try to catch up. She was about to say something when they got interrupted by the twins.

"Father? Mother?" they said when they ran over to them, and both turned to face them.
"Yes?" Loki asked in a calm voice, and Cara was glad that he didn't get mad at them for interrupting. But she knew that Loki would never do that, loving his children to much for that. And Cara was also glad that the twins had interrupted, so she would get some time to prepare herself.
"Peter and Tony told us about trick and treat. May we do go?" Váli asked, and Loki gave them a questioning look.
"Trick or treat is when you go from house to house and knocks on doors. You ask trick or treat. If the person say trick, you do a trick on them, otherwise they say treat and give you candy," Cara explained, and at ones Loki looked really unsure, knowing that it meant that they had to leave the tower to do that.

"He is still out there," Loki whispered to her and Cara nodded. She knew that Loki was thinking of Abjorn. Cara didn't know what to answer him. She also knew that he was out there, somewhere, but as she looked at the twins they looked really hopeful.
"What if we ask the others to join us? With the Avengers, Peter, Wanda, and Strange, we should be safe," Cara said and Loki thought about it, also looking at the twins.
"Let's ask the others," Loki said and the twins looked at them with really bug eyes, before they hugged them and ran inside, to talk to the others.


Soon they were walking on the streets of New York with other kids and their families. The twins walked in the front with Peter and Wanda, who was dressed as a vampire. The twins were really excited about getting candy, but even more about the tricks, and the older teenager seemed to share their joy. Tony and Bruce walked behind them, talking about how you could build realistic holograms to make monsters, that would scare everyone. Behind them walked Steve, Thor and Strange, talking about different costume. While their partners had stayed at the tower, to entertain the remaining guests. Cara and Loki walked behind them, and Cara just walked next to Loki, holding his hand, trying to calm him. Loki was far from calm, but he pretended to be for his sons sake, wanting to give them an amazing night. The spies walked at the back, talking about which costume would be best suited for fighting.

They all walked from house to house, and they had a nice time. The twins laughed, and seeing them happy, made the rest of them happy too.
"It's worth it," Loki said to Cara and she looked at him. "They are laughing. And even if I am scared, it's worth it."
Cara smiled at those words.
"They seem to be really happy. And putting aside your own fear for their sake, it's really brave of you. You are a good father," Cara told him and Loki slowly nodded.
"I wish I could let them out more often. Forcing them to stay in the tower, it's unfair," Loki said.
"That isn't your fault," Cara told him, and she meant it. "And they don't think that either."

"Do you want some candy?" the twins asked when they walked back to them from the house they had knocked on.
"Can we?" Cara asked and the twins nodded. "Thank you very much."
Cara took a peace of chocolate and so did Loki. They both smiled towards the twins, before they ran off, offering everyone some candy.
"They are really sweet," Cara said and Loki smiled proudly at his children, as they kept walking to the next house. The teenagers pointed at an apartment complex.
"We can get a lot of candies there!" Peter said and the twins smiled as they walked in.

"Wish I was younger. I miss doing trick or treat," Tony said as the kids started to knock on the first door.
"I never did it," Steve admitted.
"You didn't?" Tony asked and Steve shook his head. "Then go with them."
Tony gave Steve a bag and dragged him over to the kids, explaining to them that Steve had never gone trick or treat. The twins took his hands and made Steve walk with them.
"That was nice of you," Bruce said to Tony who laughed.
"Can't teas him all the time."


"How many damn floors does this building have?" Tony complained, feeling bored.
"Fifteen more," Clint said and Tony sighed.
"You know what, I am going to go outside, can't be more boring than here," Tony said. "Sorry Loki, I know your kids love it, but I will wait outside."
"It's alright Tony," Loki said and Tony left to go outside, as the other walked to the next door.

After awhile Clint and Bruce had also stepped outside. Bruce went outside after some kids realised he was The Hulk, even if he was dressed as Hans Solo. And when they did, they had tried to make him angry, so in the end he needed to get away, and Clint said he should go with him, to make sure he was alright. Clint would never admit that he went with Bruce because he was bored.

The others kept walking, and the only one of the adults that was still excited was Thor, who had joined the kids and Steve in the front. Natasha and Strange didn't complain or even showed that they were bored, you could more feel it in the air. Cara hide it really well, not wanting to make the kids disappointed, but when Loki turned to her and smiled, before he asked if he could talk to her again, she didn't say no. Even if she knew what he wanted to talk about, and even if she hadn't had time to grasp or know what to do, it was better than walking eight more floors.


When Cara and Loki walked outside, they saw less people was walking from house to house, and Cara guessed it was starting to get late. She looked around for the others, but she didn't see them. She thought that it was really strange, and she got the feeling that something was wrong at once, and Loki felt it too. Cara could tell that he got really nervous.

"Where are they?" Loki asked and Cara looked around again.
"There!" Cara said as she saw them sitting on a bench, on the other side of the street. Both Cara and Loki looked at each other with a smile before they laughed. They both know that they had gotten really nervous, without a real reason. The others had just thought it would look strange if they stood on the steps to the building, and walked away a bit. And at ones they had become nervous.

After they stopped laughing, Loki took Cara's hand and he smiled at her, as he walked towards the other side of the street, but a bit to the left of the others. Cara thought it was because he wanted to talk to her without the others hearing, but he still wanted them close. Loki guided her to pond, in a little green area behind the others. Cara looked at the pond who had fishes and she smiled, she made some bread appear before she gave some to Loki, and they feed the fishes.

"Cara?" Loki asked her when they had no bread left, and she looked at him.
"Yeah?" It was the only thing she could answer.
"Earlier tonight," he started and took her hand again. "I know that you said that this wasn't necessary, and I am sorry if I am asking something you do not wish for. If it is, I will not force you to say yes."

Loki stopped again, and Cara could tell that he was really nervous, but she smiled towards him, not being able to do something else. All her thoughts were rushing through her minds so fast that she couldn't even try to catch one of them. So instead she smiled towards Loki as he got down on one knee and reviled a ring. Cara looked at the ring in copper, with runes and a stone in front.

"Cara, will you marry me?" Loki asked as he smiled towards her, and even if she knew that was what he was going to ask, her mind still didn't catch up. She looked at him, smiled but she couldn't answer. It wasn't like she didn't want to marry Loki; she was just scared of the thought to get married again. Every time she did, it ended with her outliving her partner. But she knew that wouldn't happen her, no Loki would be the one outliving her, and she was how painful it would be for him. However, she didn't want to say no, because she knew that they could be happy until then. And as soon as her brain got to that solution, she knew that she wanted to say yes, and she was just about to say yes when she heard steps and someone clapping hands.

"Not bad Loki," an unfamiliar voice said, and unfamiliar for her. Cara looked at Loki, who had frozen on the spot, and she saw the fear in his eyes, and that was all that she needed to see, to know that it was Abjorn. Cara pulled Loki to his feet and stood in front of him, when she heard laughter from the dark, Abjorn wasn't alone.
"Do you need a little girl to protect you Loki," another voice said and more people laughed. Cara took Loki's hand, as she looked over to the Avengers.

"Don't expect them to help you. I have frozen them," Abjorn said and Cara looked at him as he now walked out from the dark. He was a big man, both tall and muscular. He had red hair and bear, and Cara knew that this was a man she would avoid if she travelled alone. As he took a step closer, Cara let the magic flow in her left hand, prepared for a fight.

"He asked you a question Lady. Aren't you going to answer him?" Abjorn asked and Cara looked at Loki for a second, and smiled towards him.
"I will marry you Loki," she said and kissed his hand, and that seemed to get Loki's attention. He smiled a weak smile towards her, before he turned back to look at Abjorn.
"Congratulations to you both. It's a shame that it won't be a wedding," Abjorn said as he stepped forward, laughing. At once Cara let go of her magic, sending it in Abjorn direction. But her magic never reached him. It disappeared halfway.

"Did I forgot to mention, that Odin made magic useless around me?" he said and Cara cursed as she instead was forced to fight with her body, or some other weapon. She knew that she wasn't nearly as strong as Abjorn. And she didn't have any weapon on her, so she tried to make one appear magical, but now Abjorn had gotten closer and she felt that her magic didn't work at all.

Cara looked at Abjorn and as he tried to grasp her, she jumped back, but her dress didn't let her move as freely as she wanted. If she had time she would have cursed it, but she didn't have time. She could only act as Abjorn attacked her again, working with what she had. She tried to stay between Abjorn and Loki all the time. She didn't know what to do. Cara had the disadvantage here, since she couldn't use magic, didn't have any weapon and was weaker than the big man in front of her. Abjorn attacked again and Cara avoided the blow, and at the same time she kicked him in the side, as well as she could in the dress. Abjorn moved a bit to the side, but that was all.
"Not bad, not bad," he said to her as he kept walking towards her. Repeating the process.

"Well this stopped being funny. Take him!" Abjorn said and the other men stepped in, and Cara tried to fight them off as they got closer to Loki. At this moment Loki had woken up and he tried to fight the other men too, and he did better than she did. It didn't stop Cara from trying, until someone grabbed her arms. She tried to break free, but she soon found a hand around her throat.

"Loki stop or I kill her," Abjorn said from behind her, and at once Loki stopped and looked at her.
"Don't mind me Loki," Cara said and tried to break free, but Abjorn pressed his hand harder on her throat and it became harder to breath. At once Loki stopped fighting, and the second he did, he got over ran.
"That was fun," Abjorn said and handled Cara over to another man, and walked over to Loki, who didn't look at him. "I have missed you so much."
At those words he kicked Loki in the stomach and he sinking down on his knees.

"Stop!" Cara screamed and manage to break free from the man holding her, as he wasn't as strong as Abjorn. Cara ran over to Loki, kneeling down beside him, she wanted to tell him that she was there.
"What shall I do with you?" Abjorn asked as he pulled her up by the hair.
"Kill her," one man said and some other men agreed. But Abjorn didn't listen to them, instead he looked closer at her.

"I know you. You are the same woman that come to Asgard a few years ago." He said.
"She is?" someone asked.
"She is. So Loki ran to you, and you took him in with open arms," Abjorn said and looked between her and Loki.
"So she is his whore."
"Most likely. But she is a good looking one," another one said.
"Let's take both, this is going to be fun," Abjorn interrupted them, before he looked at his men and they all disappeared from the place.
