ABIGAIL

I found Loki's room, and I knocked.

"Loki?" I pounded repeatedly, with no avail.

"Miss Stark?" Thor steps out of the room next door. "What are you doing?"

"Looking for your brother. Have you seen him?" I push my hair out of my eyes, and swallow the desperate need to see my husband.

"Loki went back to Asgard." He looks upset, but defeated.

I sigh and shake my head. "Gosh dang it." I hit the wall softly.

"What's wrong Miss Abigail?"

"I remember." I meet eyes with my brother-in-law and his eyes widen.

"You do? How?"

I touch the locket that had mysteriously appeared in my bedroom. "I don't know, I just do. I must get to him."

"You can't, the bifrost is closed, and Loki is the only one who knows the secret ways in. He was supposed to take me with him so that we could stop whoever do this to you, but he left a few hours ago."

"No, no, no." My heart quickened as I thought of Loki taking on that man, and maybe an army, alone. I had to get to him. "I have to try it anyway. Maybe Heimdall has just been preoccupied." I try to stay hopeful. I leave before Thor can crush my dreams, running towards the elevator. I reach the roof, and step into the open air. "Heimdall? Can you open the bifrost please? I need to come home."

I stand there, and nothing happens. I try a few more times before my emotions get the best of me. After screaming at the empty sky, I sit down, crying.

"Abby?" Dad's voice sounds behind me. "Sweetheart? What's going on?"

"I need to see Loki, but he left."

Dad sits beside me, a hopeful look in his eyes. "You need to see Loki? Why?"

I sigh and brush away the tears. "I remember dad. I love him, and he needs to know I remember."

"You remember! How?" He is so excited, it's so strange to see him so happy at the idea of Loki and I together.

"The locket." I touch my necklace and dad's excitement turns into a smug grin.

"Loki knew that enchantment would work."

"What enchantment?" I ask in wonder.

"Right before you all left, he suggested we get you something that he could enchant to hold all the good memories from home so that it would make it easier to leave. It was supposed to ease your homesickness. I guess it actually encapsulated your memories."

"Really?" Even without meaning to, Loki was still saving me. "But dad," I shake my head. "How did it just end up in my bedroom?"

"I found it. It came with you from Asgard somehow; you weren't wearing it, but I did find it on your bedroom floor before we came here. I didn't know if it would actually help or not."

I throw my arms around him. "Thank you daddy." Without meaning it, he was still saving me too.

He hugs me tight. "You're welcome Abs." He kisses my temple. "I love you so much." His eyes are glistening with tears when he pulls away. "But you need to go see Loki."

I look at the sky, sad once more. "I tried. The bifrost won't open. Thor said it was closed, and that Loki is the only one who knew the secret entrances."

"Try it one more time." His tone sounds confident. I decided I have nothing less to lose.

"Heimdall?" I look into the sky. "I want to go home."

A shower of rainbow light streams down, surrounding me. Dad takes a step back, smiling.

"Goodbye Mrs. Laufeyson."

"Goodbye Mr. Stark." I smile and salute him as I'm taken away.

I land in the spinning contraption, and smile.

"I'm sorry for the delay Your Majesty." Heimdall apologizes. "I was not allowed to let anyone in."

I shake my head. "Don't be Heimdall. Wait, you wouldn't let you?" My eyes focus on him as my heartbeat quickens.

"Sabelo. The man who was pretending to be Loki, but I could not argue is rule as he had taken Loki's form."

"Oh no." I gasp and thing of the danger my husband must be in. "Loki." I start to run.

"Your Majesty!" Heimdall tries to get my attention, but I continue running down the rainbow bridge.

"Loki!" I scream. Citizens stop to stare at me. Some bow, but others forget to do so as they see their soon to be queen in such an ungraceful state. My hair is wild, and my clothing sticking to my body when I reach the palace. I sprint down the grand hallway to the courts. I see Loki, but then I remember what Heimdall said. The man had taken Loki's form.

So I put him to the test.

"Loki!" I scream, and he turns to me instantly.

Surprise is evident on his face. "Abigail." He yells and turns towards me as well. We meet in the middle, crashing together. He spins me in his arms and I reach up to kiss him. Yes, this was my husband. Strong, and tender. Oh how I've missed him. "What are you doing?" He whispers when he pulls away.

"I came to save you." I smile, and suddenly I'm alert of our surroundings. No one is in the courts, and Loki doesn't seem anxious. "Where is Salebo?"

"Who told you his name?" He sets me down, but still holds me close, like he's afraid he's going to lose me.

"Heimdall. He said he took your form and commanded he not open the bifrost."

"He did. But he's gone now." He smiles proudly.

I smirk up at him. "You stole my daring rescue."

"I'm sorry my dear." He laughs. "I'll let you have the next one." He leans down instinctively to kiss me, but stops a breath away. "Wait."

"Why did you come to Asgard in the first place?" I give him a look, and he smiles. "You remember?"

I roll my eyes and kiss him passionately. "Does that feel like I remembered?"

He laughs with eyes closed. "How?"

"The locket." I touch the necklace against my chest. He smiles.

"I forgot I enchanted it. Where was it?"

"My father had it. He hoped it would help. Turns out it was the key to my memory."

"I'm glad." He smiles and pulls me close. "I've missed you Miss Stark."

"I'm sorry, but I think this ring means my name is Mrs. Laufeyson." I wiggle my finger at him, and he chuckles.

"I like that better, Mrs. Laufeyson." Loki kiss me once more, and I wrap my arms around his neck.
