She could feel two of them.

It made no sense. Ever since she found him, she made sure to keep an eye on him. She did not want to feel as powerless as she was before finding him. The simple idea of him disappearing again made her scared. She know it wasn't likely to happen but she did not want to take any risk.

She attached the scrying spell she used previously to a globe and placed it in her study. It showed a display of Yggdrasil with small dots. One for her: a golden dot, one for her husband : a silver dot, one for Thor, a red dot and finally a green dot for here mischievous son. It would give her their position at all time.

She made a mention of it to her husband should anything happen to her and waited to meet her sons to tell them. She could already see their reactions. Thor would surely laugh and thank her while Loki would praise her for a work well done and marvel at the tool she crafted.

Anyway, recently, the tool showed two dots, two GREEN dot. She had checked the spells and casted it to be sure but there was no mistake. The second dot wasn't far from the first, when she zoomed on them, she was surprised they were on the same galaxy.

She did not know how it was possible. Her son used a very powerful spell with the help of other to mover "his" people from earth a short time ago and while the spell would sometime show a trace of the user if the spell was strong enough she could see it was not the case.

The dot was too bright. Somehow, an other Loki was on earth. Not one to wast her time, she prepared herself to investigate. She wanted to see what was the cause of the dot, be it Loki's double or something else.

It took a bit of time and preparation but she was finally near the anomaly. It was a wizard street in Paris. She could not locate it more precisely but she did not have to when she saw him.

He looked like a prefect mix of Thor and Loki, their secret love child maybe she thought with a laugh. He was a bit taller than Loki, bulkier and the beard... it was like looking at a young Odin.

As she observed him she saw him open the door of a store and put the sign open on the door.

After a day of observation, she went back to Asgard,using one of the secret passage her son showed her. She had much to think about. This man, as she could not prove he was her son without a direct approach, was mostly likely a clerk and from the look of it was a peaceful man. Most of his day was spent drinking tea and reading.

She could feel a bit of mana coming from him but nothing as strong as her son or powerful enough to be a danger. He could be hiding it if he was her son's double but he was too different. While his face was slightly similar, he was more rugged, looked more mature.

As she thought about it, she did not see her husband go in the direction of the passageway.

He knew his wife found something worth investigating and he needed to know what it was. As he did not want to be spotted he hid his power and transformed in and old looking guardian. He was not called the god of knowledge for nothing.

As he walked to the shop his wife observed for most of the midgardian day, he was surprised. The young clerk looked like him when he was young. It was... disturbing. Did she want to go after a younger man?

While his thought spiralled, he missed the man standing up for his chair and walking in his direction to invite him inside. Now that he was close he could feel it. The man was not normal. He could feel the presence of an Aesir and a giant in him.

So his son wasn't as special as he thought. He did not remember any Aesir leaving the realm for a long time and even more so to elope with a giant. Still, the man in front of him was undoubtedly hiding his power. As skilled as he was , Odin was more experienced and fought enough sorcerer to know when one was hiding something.

He did not know why the man was hiding but seeing as he was working alongside midgardian and did not display any hostility he guessed he was mostly hiding in fear of his heritage coming to light.

Browsing around the store, he found a few interesting scroll and book. Most came from other "myth" as the human called them. He remembered Zeus, cheeky lightnint user with a strange liking for drama and as loyal to his wife as a drunk to water.

One of the few magical user warranting a visit from him to make sure he did not too much damage. The man had some Aesir ancestry and his power was a watered down version of Thor's but by mortal standard it was impressive.

His "family" developed strange spell and rituals but seeing their history he wasn't that surprised. The man loved to mate as an animal and he wasn't above rape. With such deranged mind it shouldn't surprise him to see how imaginative they were with their spell.

As he read them, he observed the strange man. He was talking to some young lady that did not hide her attraction to him if what he heard was anything to go by. Who know young people were so daring now. He saw the mother of said girl a few feet away smiling and giggling at her daughter clumsy attempt at seduction.

Veela, they were Veela he realised. He had to command the man will. Few men could resist their charm when they wanted to seduce them. He still could remember his younger days when he met one of them for the first time. She had seduced him so easily, now he could laugh at himself while thinking about it... haaa, to be young and foolhardy...

From the look of it, the two knew each other and it was not the first time she voiced her thought of him. He could feel the amusement in the man answers.

Looking back at the man he could feel the beginning of a plan forming in his mind. Maybe, he was the answer to his problem. Without so much as a word, he disappeared from the store.

He felt two powerful being today. One observed him from afar while the other came to his store. They did not seem to be dangerous so he did nothing. The first left in he afternoon while the other observed him and his interaction with the Delacour.

Fleur kept asking for some "private" time to show him how interesting she found him and as usual her mother did nothing to stop the teenage Veela in her quest to seduce him. He had to admit she was stubborn. He guessed it had to do with her race. Veela were rather... territorial when it came to something they wanted to make their. He saw it when Fleur "talked" with some of his admirer, Norn it felt weird to have those, to "ask" them to leave him alone.

Morgana was coming less lately, as was Zatanna. He guessed the plan his alter ego made was taking a lot of their time and while he "knew" of what he did he could not guess what he would do in the future.

AS he closed the store he looked at the starry sky. Thanos was approaching but for some reason, slower than before. He did not know why but if something was slowing him, he guessed it was a blessing. More time for him to prepare something for the oncoming fight.

He knew he would soon need to reveal himself but his current lifestyle pleased him, he did not want to change it too fast.
