This chapter contain the Cosmic Cube, and from what I can find about it is that its power and abilities varies from different comics. So this is how my version of it would work.

And something I told in my first story, I am not the best at punctuation, but I did the best I could.

Really like this chapter, hope you will to.

All characters, objects, legends and myths belong to their respective owners. I just give them new things to play with.

Some would say that the ability to see the future was a gift. That the ability would make you able to see when you're loved ones would be in danger and from what. Prevent major disasters from happening, become a hero and save people whenever the chance arose, stop the evil schemes of super villains.

Others would call it a curse, to be forced to see how loved ones would die, how you're death would occur. To see every major disaster happening, the deaths it would bring, to see evil but not be able to stop it. That the strain of seeing so much death and destruction could break even those with a strong spirit and will.

No one ever thought how it would be when you saw was both at the same time.

For Skuld the ability to see the future was just that, a blessing and a curse. The times she would see the good things that were to happen were few, while the bad times were plenty. The longest she ever had to endure several visions of death and destruction being almost a full thousand years.

It had been in the years after Borr had ensured their safety, the death of their kin triggering a block that stopped all of the good visions from her mind, showing only every major bad one.

No matter which thread she had touched she would only see death, sorrow and destruction. It had become such a problem that she had been close to the brink of insanity, close to the very destruction of reality itself.

But then her sisters got and idea.

They asked how Ragnarök would happen.

The question to anyone else would sound horrifying and macabre. But to the young Norn it was the trigger to stop the visions of death.

For the Norn of the future there was only one rule she had to follow.

She was not allowed to see the end of the world.

Her inability to see the end was what gave her the ability to finally gain control of her visions. When death and sorrow became to much she would tune into the very end of everything, and it would be quiet and calm.

Since she was not allowed to see it so she was instead shown the aftermath, nothing. Noting to cause death, sorrow or destruction. It would bring peace to her mind.

And thus began her game to predict how the world would end, the next story more crazy then the next.

These days they mostly involved killer robots.

So it came as a surprise when she was given a vision of the end, given a month after their discovery of the tangled threads.

The three sisters had taken turns watching over the threads, to predict when the time for the first entanglement was to take place. And today had been her turn.

She had not even been trying to see anything. For several hours she had been running up and down the long hallways, stopping every time she reached the five threads. It was on the 999 time that the vision occurred.

She saw the object that caused it, she saw who had brought it to life and why.

But she could also see that it was only one of many possible futures, one that could be prevented if so wished.

As she ran back to her sisters only two things was on her mind, a name and the object.

The name was Loki.

The object was the Cosmic Cube.

Had it been any other time her sisters would have been able to sense her panic in their minds, but at the moment they were unable too. The only place in their grand fortress where they were unable to use their skills to sense each others state of mind was when they were in the presence of the grand Spinning wheel, the machine that spun every thread of fate, since the very beginning.

There was no need for them to use it, it worked all on it own, spinning thread after thread. Some were long, some were small. There was smooth threads and tangled, threads in a single color and threads with the very colors of the rainbow. The thread it used was never ending, having also been used since the beginning of everything. But even if they did not need to help it along it was still a grand thing to watch, even after all this time.

Their quiet moment of peace was shattered as the door was thrown open, their young sister running into the room in a panic.

"END OF THE WORLD DEATH DESTRUCTION MAYHAM. EVERYONE IS DEAD LOKI COSMIC CUBE NOT EVEN A SINGLE KILLER ROBOT"

It was all said in a single breath, and even a immortal being needs to take a breath after that, giving her sisters the perfect chance to figure out what was going on. They gently pushed her into a nearby chair.

"Relax, tell us what is going on little sister" Urd soothed the young girl. "What is this about the end of the world"

She was still breathing hard, face red. After a few moments she looked up at the two other Norns standing before her, patiently awaiting her story. She sat back in the chair and tried to remember what she had seen.

"The end of the world, except it was only one of the many possible that could occur"

"Then there is no need to think about it little sister, we can-"

"NO" Skuld interrupted her sister. "This is Lokis part of the entanglement"

It finally dawned on the sisters what she was talking about.

"Tell us, what did you see"

"I saw why he would cause it, and when"

"When will it happen?"

"Today"

There was silent as the two sisters stared at their younger sister, finally convinced how serious the situation was. Their silence gave her the perfect chance to continue.

"What matters most is not Ragnarök, but instead the reason why. In the final moments before Thor smashed the Bifrost Loki taunted him with the fact that he would never see Jane again. And when Odin once again did not see him the way he wanted… we all saw what happened then"

"Yes, he let go of his staff"

"And landed in the world of man"

"He plans to kill Jane…"

"That was his plan, he even took control of one her friends. At that point his plan was to follow her around, learn everything there was to learn, then kill her and throw it right back in Thor's face when he could taunt him once more"

"The plan changed?"

"Yes. Come with me, it is better if I show you"

The three walked out of the spinner room, back into their living quarters. Skuld went over to a cabinet and took out a small container with the bluest water ever seen.

The three watched as a perfect copy of the Cosmic Cube appeared over the container.

"Even as a image you can see its power" Verdandi murmured, her hand gently touching the floating cube. "He plans to use this, as a weapon?"

"His human host was called to a bunker, and there he was shown this by Nick Fury"

The Norn of the past looked displeased at the name.

"More stupid human if I have ever known one, he never learns not to meddle with things that is best left alone. His past is filled with objects like this, not as dangerous, but still a danger to humanity as a whole"

"But" Verdandi interrupted. "I still do not see how this will affect Thor and Jane"

"Fury is about to ask her to take a look at it, when she does he will take over the human known as Erik Selvig and activate it. They know not enough about it yet, it will destroy everything, and everyone will die. Thor will fell that Jane has passed and will hunt down Loki and kill him in a rage great enough to destroy Asgard itself"

"A shame when a brothers jealousy shows itself in it's true form" the past and present agreed.

"Another thing before we decide on anything" the young Norn added. "Loki to must live. In events to come he will aid Thor and his future team. Together only they can prevent a accidental Ragnarök"

The three sisters came to a decision before either spoke, attuned to each other as only they could be.

"I will go" Verdandi decided, the others agreeing. "I will seek him out inside his mind and convince him not to fulfill this plan, to seek other ways to torment Thor then with Jane and the Cube"

"How?" Skuld asked.

"I will show him the reason why he cant use the Cube, and make him understand. Maintain you're links to my mind, you can be needed"

Then she was gone in a flash of light, leaving her two sisters to wait for news of either success or failure.

He was very pleased with himself, very pleased indeed. So far the human man had been a good source of information, a perfect tool to use as a way to learn everything he needed to learn about that damn Jane Foster.

What his brother even saw in her he could only guess. She was plain, boring and whenever she spoke it was always about her work. Why the stars were so interesting to her he would never understand. To him it did not matter what sky he looked up at when it was night, stars were stars no matter where he was.

But the discovery of the Cosmic Cube had been a interesting discovery, a name that that foolish one eyed human had given it. And now that the women had been asked to take a look at it he would have the perfect opportunity to destroy her.

Unfortunately he was unable to locate the place where they were currently storing the Cube, the very object being unable to locate due to the chaos it emitted.

But he could follow her, which was why he was were he was.

In her favorite coffee shop, dressed in that dreadful human suit he had worn when he went to see his brother the first time he was here. He had been able to mask his presence to the other humans, with the exception when he decided to taste the strange brew.

Tasted like chicken shit, another not so fond memory from his and Thor's childhood.

A movement outside caught his attention, it was not the human women, instead just a mere sudden rainstorm. Even if he was immortal rain was still a bother, even now with all the rain soaked humans it brought into the shop.

But it was odd, he had clouded his presence to the humans, but not the extra chair by his table, not caring if anyone took it for their own. But it was as if…

"You noticed I see, took you long enough"

The calm voice that spoke out of the blue made him choke on his coffee. When the sudden burn had stopped and he opened his eyes he saw something he did not expect.

There was a beautiful women sitting in the extra chair, dressed in a white dress that fit her like a glove, he could not help but notice the way her breasts almost spilled out.

"Eyes up here"

His eyes flew to hers, and he noticed immediately the power they displayed. He looked around to see if anyone had noticed her, but the humans went on with their business.

"Who are you"

"Who I am is none of you're concern Loki, god of mischief"

The fact that she called him by the title the humans had given him in their old tales did little to strike down his interest in her, perhaps he could use a little power on her to make her tell.

The powers that would usually make a grown man make him do anything he demanded, they did not work, instead it just made her sneeze.

"If you would please not do that, it tickles"

None of them spoke for a long time, instead they looked at each other, he deciding if he could find out who she was. She was just starting to look bored.

The humans that entered the shop then caught his attention, it was not the human he sought, but instead her assistant and their spy friend, Natasha if he remembered correctly. They ordered their coffee and left again, under a big umbrella. But it was the extra coffee the young girl took with her that was his signal to follow.

At least that was what he would do if he could move.

"I know of you're plan Loki, I am afraid I can not let you harm these humans"

"Why do you care. What is she to you?"

"A piece in the puzzle of great things that are to come to this realm. The grudge you carry against you're brother is with him, not with Jane"

"Who are you" he stood up, his ability to move back. His chair tipped over, yet the humans were still unaware, even with his power over them long gone. "If you do not wish to tell me, then tell me what you wish to come from this talk"

"Better, I will show you" she snapped her fingers, his chair was back on its feet and he was forced into it.

She snapped her fingers again and the coffee shop turned into a cloudy mist. For a mere second them and their table floated in nothingness. Then they were back, this time in a SHEILD lab, the very one he was trying to find in the first place.

Agents were in place by all the doors, scientists were running around with papers and clipboards. Eric to was busy helping out, writing down readings on a nearby computer. Tony Stark stood by the center console, Jane Foster and Nick furry by his side. In front of them was a glass chamber, inside was the Cosmic Cube.

His chair fell over as he shot up, ready to defend himself.

"They do not see us Loki, you need not worry"

He looked around, noticing that she was right. None of the humans were even looking their way. And it was hard not to notice them, two people and a coffee table appearing out of thin air.

"Why-"

"To show you, pay attention to others for once in you're life"

She got up and walked over to the three humans, all busy with watching the Cube in the center. And now that he was close to it he could fell the power it sent through the air, through his skin and bones.

It was not just the power of chaos that came from it, instead it was pure chaos. And with a power as strong as this one, it could very well destroy the world.

"I don't know what you want me to tell you Fury. That machine is far to powerful, hell, even activating it is not a good idea" Tony snapped at Fury as the two of them argued while Jane looked on. "That thing is a relic, far more powerful then even Red Skull had imagined it"

The fact that someone else was telling the leader of SHEILD that his idea was not a good one made everyone in the lab stop their work and look at the two. Even Loki, who had paid more attention to the Cube.

"Watch you're mouth Stark, I am the one telling-"

"No you pay attention to what I am saying. Activating this thing is not a good idea"

"And if you would let me talk for just a second I could tell you that it was not even my plan to begin with" Fury snapped, causing Stark to snap his mouth shut, surprise evident in his eyes.

"What… but you told me to come here to-"

"I told you to come here to see it, that was the only thing I did"

Their argument was interrupted by a soft yet firm voice.

"Then why am I here" Jane asked.

"I want to show the two of you something. Adams, flip the switch"

The man in question flipped a bunch of switches, and Loki watched as energy from several small coils inside the chamber fired at the Cube for several seconds.

"That's enough, stop"

As the energy stopped pouring into the Cube Loki could see what he wanted to show them, and what the women in the white dress wanted to show him.

He could fell it emanating from it, mixed in with the chaos, the Odin force.

But what was the Odin force to him was nothing more then very powerful energy to the humans.

"This is… I don't know what this is" Stark muttered both in awe and fear. "it is even more powerful then before" he blinked as the readings from their machine made it start to smoke.

But it was Jane that Fury was looking at.

"You can fell it, can you not Foster"

Her eyes stayed on the Cube a moment to long, even to long for Loki to really like her to do.

"It it the same power I could fell from Thor when the hammer reclaimed him worthy to wield it"

"And if Thor was banished to earth and Odin put a charm on the hammer, then it was only a fragment you could fell of his power. We ran a scan of the crash site and town, both places were full of the energy, not as strong but still plenty of it.

"But I still don't see why-"

"The dreams you two share, I told you once to use them to tell him about joining the avengers when we get him back. Now I need you to ask him if anyone, or anything, ever took a small fraction of Odin's power"

"Wait, wait… wait a second" Stark cut in. "You want her to ask Thor if a guy from the second world war, a human, somehow stole a small fraction of Odin's powers. So mall that he did dent even notice it"

"Red Skull was ambitious. We have learned just how much just by finding this thing" Fury admitted.

The three of them kept on talking, their voices sounding far away as he looked towards the women in white, currently sipping from his coffee.

"This is what you wanted to show me… why it would be unwise to use"

"Yes, you see it now. Using it would destroy the entire world, something that even you would not be comfortable doing"

"I was going too… if you had not showed I would have caused-"

"Ragnarök. The one thing the humans based most of their tales about you. Seems fitting that they were almost right"

"But how, such a small fraction of fathers powers in this thing. How?"

"Like the human said, this Red Skull was a ambitious one. Even if the intention had not been the Odin force I am sure he just needed something to make the machine work, and it chose to take what it did"

It was then it dawned on him, who the women in white was. The discovery made him fall to his knees before her and bow.

"Great Norn, I am unworthy of this, I am-"

"Oh, cut the act. If you know who I am then you know it wont work"

He dusted his pants of as he walked back over to his chair and sat down.

"But… why?"

"In time it will become clear, for now things are as they should be" she told him back as she too sat down.

He looked around, the room was starting to fade into the mist again.

"I will not remember this, will I"

"No, but now that the decision is made it will not matter, you will cling to this decision and nothing else will matter"

He closed his eyes, ready to accept it, when she spoke again.

"Oh, and do get over the chicken shit incident. The two of you were only children. Far to long to hold a grudge over something like that"

The room became mist, and before the two were gone Jane looked over where the table was, noticed by the great Norn, unnoticed by Loki. And then there was noting but the floor where she looked.

"Something wrong Jane" Tony asked.

"No… it was nothing" but she knew that it was another thing she would need to talk with Thor about.

"A refill sir"

Loki opened his eyes, confused for a sec as he looked up at he cheerful waiter before him.

"No thanks, I will be leaving soon"

"Very good sir, enjoy the rest of you're coffee"

As the you women continued her round he blinked, tired all of a sudden. He had only closed his eyes for a second.

A movement by the door caught his attention, it was the human woman's assistant and their spy friend. They bought three large coffee and left again, walking under a big umbrella.

Ah yes, the Cube. He wanted to see the Cube.

But did he really need the Cube, he was powerful himself, and there was far better ways to get back at his brother then to torment his little girlfriend.

And the human he had used as a spy, he hardly needed him anymore, there was much to see of this world, and many powerful enemies of SHIELD around. It would be far better to see more of the world, learn the names of the people SHEILD considered enemies, there was no need for this Cube. If all else failed it could be used as a backup plan.

Pleased with his decision he took a sip of coffee.

It still tasted like chicken shit.

Verdandi arrived back in the great room of threads, pleased to see that Loki's thread was no longer tangled.

"Good work Skuld. A good idea sending him back to a few moments before we left"

Skuld beamed with pride at her sisters praise, a blush spreading on her cheeks.

"It is as it should be" Urd asked.

"Yes. The allies he will make in the human world is how it must be, with them around he will be unable to bring forth Ragnarök"

The two sisters were quick to notice that their younger sister did a happy dance, pleased that the end of the world had been avoided, and happy that the chance of killer robots were still a possibility.

"By the way sister, you're encouragement for him to forget the chicken shit incident did not take root"

And that was a failure the Norn of the present was very displeased at, and Loki had many nightmares about chickens that night.

"And this object contains a fraction of fathers powers… impossible!"

That night Jane had been worried to tell him of recent events, and when she was worried their dream took the shape of the old playground she and her sister would play in as kids.

"Only a small piece. Fury thinks that it was supposed to find a power to use as energy, and somehow it latched on to Odin and took some of his"

Thor did not say much to that, he walked and sat onto the other swing besides her, swinging gently back and forward.

"By the way" she finally decided to tell him about Loki, worried what his reaction might be. "I think I saw you're brother for a moment"

His reaction was as she feared. He shot up from the swing and started asking questions about his brothers whereabouts, questions asked so fast that she could hardly hear any of them. She got up and placed a gentle hand to his bare chest, a chest that had been clothed a moment ago.

But it caught his attention at least.

She guided him over to a bench and pushed him down, and before he could get up she was straddling him, his hands holding her by her hips.

A pleased smile came unto her lips, even more pleased when she saw that his eyes took a quick look down at her lips, then down her shirt.

"You know, I noticed you cant keep you're eyes above chest level anymore"

He blushed and looked back into her eyes, the blush spreading on his cheeks.

She cuddled into his chest, inhaling the scent of him that was also present in their dreams.

"Don't worry, I don't think he was there to hurt anyone. I just wanted to tell you before I tell Fury"

"How can you be sure" he asked, his thumb gently stroking her hip.

"I only saw him for a few seconds, and from what I could see he was drinking coffee"

Thor blinked, surprised by that turn of events.

The two were silent, just enjoying being in each others embrace. In the mean time his hand had moved from her his to her ass, gently kneading it, his other hand stroking her hair.

"Thor, please don't" she pleaded. "we agreed that we wouldn't start anything in here"

"I hardly call this inappropriate, I have had far more dreams that were more inappropriate then this"

She gave him a look, not a displeased one. But a look that told him that he had just admitted a little to much.

"You re just one big pervert huh. Having wild sex dreams about little me?"

She had a pleased smile on her lips as she teased him, and he blushed even harder. He was about to defend himself when she leaned up and whispered in his ear.

"Want to know what we do in my dreams. They involve something big and something tight, I think you would enjoy hearing about them"

And then she was gone, her laugh the last thing he heard. A few moment passed and then he to was awake.

It was not how he had intended their dream to end, but now he knew he could tell his father that he had knowledge about Loki's location.

But first a cold shower.

Jane's situation was not much different.

Jane's sister is mention at the end, could not find any mention of a family anywhere, so if she does or does not have a sister let me know. Thanks for reading.
