Loki had heard Nervous and Circe scream, but it wasn't a normal scream, so he decided to go investigate. As he ran down the stairs, he spotted Nervous and Circe through the window and became red with absolute fury that even the Devil himself would run away from in terror. He ran into Circe's bedroom and yanked her out of the bed and smacked her.

"HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME? AFTER ALL I'VE DONE FOR YOU?"

"What have you done for me? When was the last time you told me you loved me? You have never wanted to be physical with me all these years. It's always 'I'm too busy with an experiment right now' or 'Don't wait up for me'. What about me? I need to feel love too, and you have just neglected me and taken me for granted for too long now. I want a divorce!"

"You… don't mean that…"

"Yes, I do. And I want you out of this house tonight."

Divorce was the one thing that Loki feared, but he never thought that she would leave him, and for a test subject! Something inside his mind broke and he ran over to Nervous and started attacking him.

"THIS IS YOUR FAULT! YOU USELESS SON OF A BITCH! HOW DARE YOU TAKE MY WIFE AWAY FROM ME!"

However, Nervous had dug deep and found a new power within him and fought him off, the altercation ending with Loki on his ass and Nervous standing triumphantly over him.

"Don't ever show your face around here again! If you do, or you try to lay a hand on me or Circe ever again, we will call the cops."

His mind reeling, Loki took his things and left the house with his tail between his legs, so to speak. He never thought something like this could ever happen again. He tried to replay everything back in his mind to see where it all went wrong, but he couldn't find anything. Defeated, all he could do was walk away from the house and try to figure out where to live.

After the confrontation, Circe started to cry as she examined Nervous' injuries, but besides the bruises from before, he was nearly unharmed. She pulled him in for a close embrace and kiss, and after they pulled away from each other, Nervous got down on one knee.

"Circe, I have never known anyone as intimately as I have with you, and I want to protect you from any more danger, as you have protected me. I may just be a test subject, but I really want to spend the rest of my life with you. I don't have a nice ring to give you, but will you marry me?"

With happy tears in her eyes, she whispered, "Yes. I have never felt as much love from anyone as you have, and I would love to spend the rest of my life with you."

She leaped into his arms and gave him a huge kiss on his neck before they kissed each other on the lips.
