The Dark World Part 1
Loki continues stearing the boat through the ruins of the Dark World as he looks at Jane. "What I could do with the power that flows through those veins." He says allowing his lust for magical power to reveal itself. "It would consume you." Thor tells him dryly. Loki then stands taller as he walks slightly closer to his brother causing Jo to hide under the healm. "Please continue to explain to me how you know what my body can or cannot handle." The trickster smirks. "Only Astrid will ever get to learn that." Loki says with vexation and a hint of mischief. Astrid rolls her eyes as she and Darcy look at the now long lifeless realm.
"I do not want to know." Thor looks between Loki and Jane. "Do you not see what the Aether is doing to her?" The older prince ask with true concern. "You're forgetting something, brother... Jane is mortal, is she not?" Loki reminds him cynically. "You so enjoy reminding me of anything that might glorify you. And if you had the Aether... Then what? Would you be satisfied?" Thor questions before looking at Mjolnir. "Satisfaction's not in my nature." Loki smugly replies then watches as Thor lifts his hammer.
"Should we be worried?" Darcy whispers to Astrid. The princess hums then looks back to see how far the brothers have taken their fight. "Watch this." She whispers back to the intern with mirth. The spiky haired sorceress clears her throat. I am so glad we're having twins!" Astrid projects knowing her worlds will jar Loki and awaken Thor's emotional side.
Thor quickly drops his hammer as he completely forgets his anger. "Brother! Congratulations! You have made me an uncle!" Thor booms as he pulls Loki in for a bear hug. "Let go of me, Thor." Loki pushes his brother off of him. "Beg your pardon?" He ask his wife with an expression of pure dread on his face. "You heard me." She says with mirth then watches as he goes paler.
The wayward prince noticeably goes weak in the knees when he hears his wife's laugh. "I'm just fucking with you, babe. I'm not expecting." She informs him then watches as he closes his eyes and lets out a sigh of relief. "Don't ever say anything like that in jest again." He tells her with vexation as he slowly reopens his eyes. Suddenly feeling drained, Loki goes to sit by Astrid even though he is clearly unhappy with her. "Alright, babe." She says before throwing her arm around him flirtatiously.
