YNNBL Chapter 5

Heyyy guyyysss! I'm SO sorry for the wait (Lawl)! Ok! Let's get this chapter going! Thanks to Thefloatsodelicately and themagentacolor for favoriting/subscribing this story! The subscribe count is now 8 and the favorite count is ! Keep up the epic loyalty, guys! You rock!

Oh! A quick PS: If I sometimes replace Kate with Mabry, I'm REALLY sorry. I'm juggling 60 million fanfictions at a time (ok maybe 6) so I tend to get a bit mixed up sometimes. Please forgive me!

[[Loki's POV]]

I stare out the window aimlessly, observing the still quite alive city rush by.

"The kids really loved you, didn't they?" Kate observes, and I grunt in approval.

"What? Are you tired?" She asks, and I sit up. "That reminds me. It looked like you didn't have an extra sleeping quarters, so I will just have to-"

"No." She stops my plan with one simple word.

"I have a cot I could sleep on. You can sleep in my bed. I'll be fine." She explains, keeping her eyes on the road. I just look out the window again silently.

Eventually, the bright lights and sounds of the city die out, leading us into a quiet part of town. I staighten up, looking around. "Where are we?" I ask, and she answers me calmly.

"I realized that we will have to be comfortable if you are to find out how you will get back, and if Thor finds out you're mssing, they're sure to check my house, so I have a friend in Thousand Oaks that may be able to help me, it doesn't matter if you're you."

I sat up straighter and glared at her. "Don't tell me you're going to tell her who I am-!" I exclaim with such force she stops the car. She turns to me with an evil glint in her eye, her face slightly tinted with blue. "You listen here. If you want to get back to Asguard, you better find out how, and if my friend doesn't know who you are, then it won't work out. HE, by the way, will also not let you get out. And if you do try to escape, I will report you to Stark and then sic as many cats I can find on you as soon as I find out your bed is empty. Got it?"

Never before have I been so frightened of a mortal.

We pull up to a rather large house and she stops her automobile. "Here." She says simply, handing me my old clothing and helmet. I sense that she's in a rather sour mood, so I don't protest as we walk up to the door of the condo and Kate rings the doorbell. Moments later a man answers the door, looking to be about 30. "Kate!"He exclaimes, his face lighting up. They embrace, and he suddenly notices me. "Who's the dude with the goat helmet?" He asks, sizing me up. I glare at him, and Kate bites her lip. "Relax, Cory, he's a... well, let me just tell you."

The woman invites herself in, dragging me along with her. Cory smiles slightly and half waves at me, but my expression remains stoic. She sits me down at a table and takes a seat across from me. "Now, I know this is kind of sudden,but we kind of need to crash here for however long it takes. Is that fine, Cor?" Kate asks, and Cory laughs. "Kate, you think I wouldn't let you stay? C'mon, I thought you knew me! But this guy-" He turns to face me. "I kind of need to know a bit about him before I let him sleep in my house."

Kate sighs. "Ok. But I don't think knowing who he is will make you any more eager... his name is... well, he's Loki."

Cory blinks for a moment, processing, then his expression changes to disbelief. "You mean like my cat?" He asks, and Kate looks at him sternly. "Cory..." She warns, and realization dawns on the man. "Oh c'mon, Kate. The Loki? Of Norse mythology? You expect me to believe that the murderous phsyco that tried to rule the world is in my living room? I somehow don't get your logic."

His insults angered me. I grab my staff and point it at his chest. "Don't you dare mock me, mortal. I can kill you with one blast." I threaten him, and he merely laughs! "Yeah, sure, If your a god or whatever, than prove it." He challenges me, and I could feel the heat rising up. I felt the blue flood to my face and I saw my duplicates surrounding him. "Is this enough proof, mortal?" I fume, and he gulps. "Y-Yeah. Yeah. It is. Ok. You can stop now." He exclaims, and I relucantly die down. Cory or whatever his name is stares at me in awe. "That. Was. Freaking awesome! Do it again!" Seeing my glare, his excitement withers a little. "Or you could just, you know, do what you wanna do. That's fine." He says. Kate rolls her eyes and smiles, then butts in with some news. "Yeah. You guys get aquainted, and I'll run back home and get Mishief."

I sigh. "Do you really have to bring that beast?" I whine, and Cory laugh. "Oh, you think that little kitten is trouble? Wait till you meet Sparta and Loki. Yes, my cat's name is Loki. Deal with it. Let me give you the grand tour."

He leads me upstairs. "Here's the upstairs. You can sleep there." He points to a spare room with a queen sized bed. "Ok." I say begrudgingly, following him downstairs. Suddenly, halfway down the stairs, something goes for my foot. I shriek a very manly shriek and jump up. I look down to find it's just a lean tabby cat, and that Cory is laughing his head off. "You- you should've seen your face!" Tory exclaimed, gasping for air. "Oh ha ha. Very funny." I roll my eyes. "So... how about Kate?" Cory asks me. I furrow my brow. "What about her?" I ask, and Cory turns to face me. "You know! Is she hot?"

I feel my face turning slightly red. "Uhm, well... she is very... uhm... I have no strong feelings towards her, bad or good, if that's what you're asking." I reply. Cory rolls his eyes. "But that's not what I'm asking. I'm asking if you thinks she's hot."

I gulp. "Well,she isn't ugly... I- uh... I'm not sure yet." Cory laughs. "You, my sir, are pathetic with girls. No offense." He says, clapping my on the back. I glare at him, and he moves his hand back to his side. "Whoops."

[[Kate's POV]]

"I know, Mishchief. You don't like it. But it's fine, we're not going to the vet. Dn't worry!" I coo, keeping my eyes on the road. Mishcief is meowing loudly, exploring the car. I don't believe in cages, so I let him roam free. We're about halfway there, and it's getting pretty dark.

15 minutes later, I arrive. Pulling out my suitcase in one hand and my pesky kitten in the other, I butt-bump the car door closed. I knock on the door with my head, and Cory answers it. "Kate! Let me help you!" He exclaims, grabbing my suitcase and pulling me inside. Noting the heaviness, he chuckles. "How long are you planning to stay here, exactly?" He asks me, and I bite my lip. Letting Mischief go to help my friend, I answer him. "I don't know. But that's mainly full of books and other crap that might help. Let me go get Loki and my clothes."

I walk out to get the clothes, and I'm back in the house within the minute. That's when I notice- "Where's Loki?"

Cory laughs. "Oh yeah. He was getting terrorized by the cats, so he locked himself in his room."

I roll my eyes and climb the stairs. I creep up to the closed door and jiggle the handle. It's unlocked, so I open the door and peer inside. The god is fast asleep, fully clothed, on top of the covers. I roll my eyes and smile, then realize that there's only one spare bedroom. I sigh, realizing I'll have to sleep in the same bed as the trickster. I fall onto the be beside Loki, my eyes drooping. My last thought before I slipped into a well-needed sleep? I didn't think this through very well...
