A/N: A hint at rape. If you feel uncomfortable, feel free to not read.

Loki was dripping sweat from his forehead as he took a deep breath. Vixry was teaching him a few yoga moves after a 30 minute session that consisted of semi-hard moves that will help Loki relax, especially now with the pregnancy. The yoga will help his muscles from hurting the following day, it was a something that Loki didn't want to experience. He knows what sore muscles felt like and he didn't enjoy it one bit in the past.

"Loki, you look more attractive and out of breath," Vixry commented, which caused Loki to blush profoundly. He wasn't expecting such comment about his current appearance. He isn't a fan of sweat to begin with.

"R-really?" Loki asked, stuttering. He blamed it on his tiredness but Vixry saw right through it. But, she kept quiet about it as she didn't want to embarrass Loki any further.

"Yes," Vixry simply stated. She smiled at Loki and decided it was enough physical exercise for the day. She mentally planned another similar session for later that week. She didn't want Loki to be too physical back to back because she firmly believes it would be bad for the baby.

"I am so tired after that strenuous task you had me do," Loki complained after he stretches his legs out.

Vixry laughed at the comment. "I know you're tired after all of that, but before you leave to take a shower, I have to ask you something before I forget."

Now, Loki was a little nervous because usually when someone asks him something, they ask him something embarrassing or something that made him anxious or nervous.

"What is it?"

"Well, Loki. I just really want to know who the baby's father is?"

The question caught Loki off guard as he wasn't expecting Vixry to ask. But, he kept quiet because he knows that revealing as to who the father is can mean harm, not him and the child, but to the entire universe.

"I can't say who he is. I am sorry," Loki answered. Just thinking about his traumatic experience a few weeks ago made him shudder and his mind to go blank. He wishes he could forget the whole thing ever happened, but couldn't with the child growing inside him. He wondered what his family, especially Thor, would have thought of his experience. He knows that they will declare war.

Seeing that Loki was silent and uncomfortable with her question, Vixry asked. "I am so sorry I have asked."

"That's okay. It is just hard for me to talk about that event happening."

Both individuals then stood silent for several moments before Vixry stated that she had to go somewhere in 20 minutes and she would take a while.

"So, where are you going?" Loki asked.

"I have to go see someone and I am not sure what time I am going to be back. But, since you're here, I am concerned whether or not you will be safe by yourself."

Loki snorted at the comment. "Don't worry about it. I'll be okay by myself. Don't forget that I can do magic and I will harm others if they think they will harm me or my child."

Vixry smiled. "But, still Loki. You know what? I will take you with me."
"No, don't do that. Besides, I am not sure what you're going to do at your destination. I get uncomfortable with crowds."

"You're sure about that?"

Loki nods. "I am very sure about that, Vixry. Go ahead. You'll be late."

"Okay. Please, take care of yourself. I promise to not take long. I hope I arrive before sunset."

Vixry quickly got her things she will be needing for her 2 hour course she had signed up regarding magic and life among other potential planets.

As Loki watched Vixry leave, he smiled because he enjoyed some alone time. He decided to take a quick shower before starting reading a novel.

Just as Loki was getting some clothes he will wear after the shower, there was a knock on the door.

"Did she forgot something?" He asked himself with amusement. Seconds later, there were even more knocks. But this time around, they were even harder and with force. As if the person on the other side was in an emergency.

Loki went to see who it was and check through the peephole on the door and saw a scrawny old lady who was wearing a weird looking dress and some uncomfortable shoes. She was carrying a large, leather tote on her hand.

But, Loki was cautious as he learned that to not be fooled by appearances. The lady could be an enemy in disguise. And Loki wouldn't going to take the bait that easily.

He opened the door just enough to talk to the lady and to prevent her from entering the house.

"Can I help you?"

The old lady stood silent for a few seconds before she answered. "Yes, sweetie. I need some shelter as a bad rain is coming this way."

"Well, I am so sorry but I have to turn you away. I am just a guest here. The owner is currently not here and would not be back in a few hours. Do you wish to return before sunset?"

The lady was hesitant to return by the stated time. "I am not sure, young man. I am new to this place and I have nowhere to go."

Loki smiled. "Like you, I am new here too."

"In that case, can I have some shelter? I promise I wouldn't be much of a bother to you or the owner when she comes back."

Loki was now confused because how did the lady knew the owner was a female? Was the granny watching them? If so, for how long?

"Please?"

Loki still rejected the lady. "I can't. I am so sorry about that."

The lady then disappeared in a mist of purple smoke. The color made Loki go pale.

'He will know where I am.'
