Hey guys! Chapter 2! POVs now, yes? Review and tell me if you like 3rd person omnicient or multiple 1st persons!
[[Kate's POV]]
I sigh as I stare into my bowl of soup, swirling my spoon around in it. I look around her apartment- my little but liveable apartment. There's a meow, and suddenly Mischief's face is in my soup. "Mischief! That was my dinner!" I laugh. Luckily, I'm used to my troublesome kitty ruining my food, so I get up and pour some more chicken noodle into another bowl. Little did I know that this soup was not going to be eaten.
By me at least.
Because halfway to my table from my kitchen counter, there is a blinding green flash, and the least likely thing to happen in my kitchen... happens.
[[Loki's POV]]
"Are you... who I think you are?" A quiet voice asks as I struggle for breath. When I finally get the wind back in me, I grumble, "I'm fine, thanks."
A small giggle comes from the same direction as before, then a gasp. "Oh my god, sorry... Are you OK?" Footsteps towards me, and I'm stll struggling to get up. I manage to sit upright just as the woman leans down towards me. The worst possible thing happens.
For a brief, brief moment, her lips brush mine.
"Oh... Sorry." The woman's eyes widen, and I'm too stunned to move. One by our 'kiss' of sorts, and two by her beauty. Well, for a Midgardian anyway.
She has stunning electric green eyes, just like mine, except hers reflect kindness. Her hair is a soft brown with streaks of blonde here and there. She has freckles on her nose, and creaselines from smiling a lot.
"I... Uh... Mischief! No!"
I furrow my brow as something tugs on my cape. I look behind me and find a pure black cat climbing on my cape. I jump slightly and try to swat it away. "Get- off- me- you- odd- creature!" I mutter, spinning around. It finally gives up and lets go, leaving me dizzy. "Here, sit down." A chair appears, and I fall into it.
"Why- How- Why and how are you here? If you are who I think you are." She says quickly, seeming flustered.
"Who are you? And how would you know who I am?" I try to sound intimidating, but I just end up sounding confused.
"My name is Kate Song, and you- if I'm correct- are L-Loki."
I blinked. Kate. It suits her. But then I shake my head. "There is no time for this!" I boom. "How do you know who I am?"
Kate pauses hesitantly, then says quietly, "Mabry told me."
I narrow my eyes. "Who is Mabry?"
"She is... well, you could say she is my... sister. But she's also Tony Stark's girlfriend."
My eyes widen. "Don't you- Don't you DARE turn me in! I will kill you!"
Kate's face pales, but she eventually manages to force out words. "I... wasn't planning on it. I actually kind of like you. Not because you tried to take over the world. No offense, but that was pretty jerky. I liked you when I was little, and my parents would say I'm a lot like you... and it turned out they were right... in more ways you would think."
The last few words come out a low mumble, leaving me to wonder what she said.
"Anyway, I need to get back to... Wait. I'm on Midguard again... I can-"
"NO."
Kate's suddenly strong voice startles me, ad she runs to block the door. "Silly mortal. You cannoy do anything to me. I always have the window, anyway."
But suddenly she's there. I look at the door, then to the window. She's at both places... I gasp. "You- What- How-"
"Like I said, I'm a lot like you. And you are either staying here at my secure house where no one will find you until you find a way back to Asguard, or I can turn you in. Your choice."
An idea forms in my mind. "I'd rather die than go back to that... place. Just turn me in."
Kate narrows her eyes. "What? You think I'm an idiot and your not just going to run or something? You're STAYING HERE."
I look at her, confused. How did she see through my trick? Maybe I did underestimate her.
Suddenly, I dart to the side of her, and she grabs my arm. And then, everything changes.
I gasp as I see a tint of blue in her skin. "Kate...?" I ask, and she puts a hand up to her face. Oh no. Don't- don't look at me!" She turns away, but I grab her hand and turn her around. She sobs. "Are you... Half frost giant?" I ask, and she just sobs again. "I'm- a freak. No one understands. No one, Loki. I'm a freak, and I didn't even know it! A lie! That's what my life is."
I blink several times,then try something. I had never physically or mentally tried doing this before, but it was worth a shot...
"Kate. I know exactly how you feel." I whisper as I feel the blue flood my face. Her eyes widen and fill with tears. "L-Loki..." She gasps, and suddenly runs to hug me. I don't know why, every nerve in my body is screaming at me that this is wrong, that I shouldn't do this, that I should run while she's distracted- but I do it anyway.
I hug her back.
Did you enjoy? I hope you enjoyed. Sorry my chapters are taking so long, I'm writing 7 at the moment... wow. Anyway, chapter 3! Yayyy. See you soon!
