Jane opened her eyes slowly, feeling the cold winter-air stinging her skin. Had she fallen asleep outside? Obviously, yes. The embers of the fire were still crackling, so it seemed it had not been long ago when it had faded. She turned around yawning to see if John was sleeping as well, but the chair next to her was empty. She raised from her sleeping position with a confused frown. Had he left without saying goodbye? She got up and started shaking immediately from the cold. Jane walked towards the fence to see if he was still around nearby, but she couldn't see him anywhere, however it seemed Darcy had been right, it had been repaired. She walked back to the trailer and searched for a letter or something, which he maybe had left behind to stay in contact but she got disappointed, he hadn't even given her his number! How could she call him then? She had no idea where he lived nor what he did as a profession. She closed her eyes and buried her face in her hands. Oh jane, you're so stupid! Why didn't you ask him? She thought, groaning frustrated into her hands.

"LOKI!" The sound of Odin's voice resounded through the throne-room.

"Yes father?" The Demigod cocked his head in the direction the voice had come from and saw him striding up to him. "You wish to talk to me." He anticipated.

"Yes. Heimdall sought the dialogue with me, he wanted to know why he couldn't see the Frost Giants nor you." The Allfather looked at him seriously. "I couldn't give him a proper explanation, can you?" He rested his gaze on Loki expectantly.

"Wait," The God of Mischief said narrowing his eyes. "You are seriously suspecting me of cooperating with these monsters?"

"The monsters you stemmed from." He exclaimed.

"I AM YOUR SON!" Loki was screaming now, he was angry, how dared his father think he had something to do with the infraction? "I have nothing to do with Laufey's plans and I am not willing to be part of them in future either!"

"Well, it seems you have been leaving Asgard quite often lately and why can't Heimdall see you nor them?" He asked.

"Since when is it forbidden to leave Asgard? And I have no idea!" He said outraged. "Maybe, he can't see Frost Giants or maybe he is just getting old. I am not omniscient father, maybe you should ask Thor, he is pretty good in pretending to know everything."

"Do not mock me, Son!" He was getting angry now as well. "This is serious."

"Well, then you should search somewhere, where you'll find the answers you seek, it is not me you are looking for." He spun around and stomped off leaving the hall, his father was standing in. He just wanted to walk to his chambers when his mother blocked him.

"You're father doesn't mean it Loki." Frigga said, seeing the bitter disappointment in his eyes. "He is merely concerned about the peace of the Nine Realms."

"Well, he shouldn't let his concern out on me!" He spat.

"No he shouldn't." The king's wife looked at her son lovingly. "However, I would wish to know, why you are shrouding Heimdall's gaze."

The Demigod faced his mother and looked at her surprised.

"I've shared my gifts with you Loki. I've been using this magic for a much longer time than you have, I do recognize my own tricks when I see them." She said smirking slightly. "Is it because of a woman?"

Loki's eyes snapped open, just for an instant, but it was enough for Frigga to get her answer. "So it is. I suspect she is not an Asgardian, what realm is she from?" she asked self-ensured.

"It is not about a woman, mother!" Loki exclaimed, when he had gathered his wits together again. Why did she know him so well? "I merely travel between realms to get to know the other worlds. I'd like to see for myself how they live and father forbid it, so I decided to do it in secret."

"Spoken like a true leader." She said proudly to her son. "getting to know a different point of view is the first step of becoming a good king."

"Yes, we both know that me becoming a king will never happen." He said annoyed.

"Yes, but you can help your brother ruling when we will not be here anymore someday and I would be proud of you if you did." She lay her hand on his cheek before she left and let him to his thoughts.

Loki had to make up a plan about how he should go on. Staying away from earth was one solution, but somehow it gave him a sting in his heart only thinking about it. No, he was sure that he wanted to see Jane again, but he knew he had to make up a new identity if they would see each other more often, which was probably going to be the result of satisfying his needs of spending time with her. On the other hand he had to find a solution for Odin. Maybe he could put an illusion of himself in front of the window of his chambers, who was reading and every time someone knocked he would say things like 'leave me alone' or 'I don't want to talk'. Moreover he would delete Heimdall's memory every time he would pass through the gate, so that he couldn't remember that Loki had left the realm and that he had opened the gate. He was angry at his father, he wouldn't want to talk to him anyway and Thor was busy with other important stuff, like drinking and celebrating all night. The only one who would notice was Frigga, who already knew what he was doing and she wasn't a danger to his plans, so he decided to try.
It could work. He thought rubbing his chin. Moreover it was finally something all of his skills were needed. This would be excited for him, he had been unchallenged long enough. He would test his concept the next days to see if it was of any avail.

The astrophysicist was at home again, since the circle had vanished now completely. She was sitting on her couch searching for the man on Google, she found a lot of John Mckenzies on the internet; musicians, politicians, sportsman. The John's she had found with pictures on the websites obviously weren't him and the others could be him, but she had no idea what she was searching for. She didn't know who or what he was. She sighed leaning her head against the backrest, it was hopeless, she would never find him. Somewhere in her head she heard a voice saying: "You are pathetic, stop searching for a man on the internet you have only met three times in your life!"
The voice was right, this had to stop. She closed the window on her laptop and started to focus on her work again.

"So how do I use this mouse?" The Demigod asked the employee of the internet café.

"You move the arrow on the screen with it, so you can click on the icons you'd like to open. And with this you scroll up and down. See?" He explained slightly confused. "Have you never used a computer in you life?"

"I am good with people." Loki answered. "Not with technological devices."

"Okay well, this is the icon for the internet, personally I think firefox is the best, you can search anything on the net you'd like to know about. My advice, go on Google and put keywords in the 'search-bar', it will lead you to any website."

This was very interesting indeed. In Asgard they still used books to do research, this was definitely a lot easier and quicker, the humans were not at all that stupid as he had believed his entire life.

"Let me guess, you do not have a cellphone either?" The employee asked, when seeing Loki stumbling through the pages slowly.
The black-haired man looked up to him puzzled.

"A cellphone." He took his mobile phone out off his pocket and showed it. "You can call people with it, if they are not around."

"I know." Loki quickly lied, not wanting him suspecting something. "But I never really understood how to use it."

The young man in front of him looked at him with an expression that showed that he believed him being stupid. But he was a nice guy, who showed him how it worked. When he had explained it to him, Loki continued his research. So... He thought scrolling down the pages of this 'Google'. Work, everything is about working and money on this planet. He needed an interesting and a well paid occupation. After half an hour he began getting the hang of it. He had found several jobs that sounded alright, yet nothing had truly interested him. Scientist, mathematician, physicist all those kind of professions were nice, but he knew too much, he could never stay calm with the human's theories. He would never ever become a doctor or anything that had to do with human bodies. However something caught his eye at last: lawyer. This sounded very appealing to him. He searched the profession on google and found this:

Qualities a successful lawyer should have:
1) Good communication skills.
2) Judgement.
3) Analytical skills.
4) Research skills.
5) People skills.
6) Perseverance.
7) Creativity.

Perfect! He thought excited and searched for the most successful lawyers in New York. He asked the employee if he could use his phone and called all of them, making an appointment with their secretaries telling them he needed a lawyer for a case containing his industrial park. He chose the lawyer with whom he had gotten an appointment that was the closest from today.

"That makes ten bucks." The employee said holding out his hand when Loki wanted to leave.

"Of course." The Demigod said and quickly made an illusion of a man walking past the shop half-naked screaming that he saw an apocalypse coming, so everyone was distracted and Loki had time to take ten dollars out of the cash register, which he gave back to him with a friendly smile, thanking him and saying goodbye.

The next days he used to befriend a worker for a bank until he had the opportunity to steel his badge and change himself into this man. He soon found out who the director was, who he stole the identity from as well, creating new memories in the director's mind, where he would steal fifty million dollars from his own bank.

When he was rich all of the sudden, he searched for a suiting apartment and found one high above the clouds at One Central Park.
In the meantime, waiting for the appointment with the lawyer he started reading law books and tried memorizing the paragraphs, which didn't take him all too long to do so. He had always been a really fast learner.
Finally the date arrived and he met the lawyer he was waiting for. Sitting in his office he created an illusion of his secretary telling him to immediately call his wife, because something must have happened, since she had called crying. The lawyer excused himself, leaving the office, giving Loki hopefully enough time to search for his degrees. He almost found them straightaway, since they were locked up in a drawer of his desk, which wasn't too hard to open for him. The Demigod took a blank paper and created the illusion of a degree like his, except with John Mckenzie written on top of it.

Four weeks had passed when he had found Jane's home and rang the doorbell. The young woman opened the door and looked at him bewildered, yet joyfully surprised.

"Sorry, to take you by surprise like this, but I forgot to give you my number." He said smiling at the beautiful girl in front of him.

"How did you find me?" She asked confused.

"I searched you on google and found Erik Selvig, who is still a professor at the university, so I went there and asked him." He replied.

"You googled me?" She asked, while her eyes sparkled excited and her mouth widened into a smile.

"Yes." He smirked. So Google was as well a verb as a name. Interesting.

"Would you like to have dinner with me?" Jane burst out, already feeling embarrassed the minute she had asked it, she blushed waiting for him to answer. Luckily he smiled at her and nodded slowly. "I'd love to."

A/n: I know 'Catch me if you can' much xD!
