"Loki?" the dark haired man looked at his fiance "Yes Terra?" "I've been wondering about this for a LONG time now, why, when I was a child, did you show any interest in me?"Loki stopped walking and turned to face her, grabbing her hand he smiled "I saw a lot of potential in you when we first met, and I had plans for you to help me but things took an unexpected turn for the better."

Terra smiled, she had figured he originally had another plan for world conquest but it was good he had decided against it, it was bad enough that he had been one of Americas most wanted for his attacks on new york and in Germany.

"Well it's good you decided not to attack the human race again, even if it was to spare me and my family" "Actually it was just you" he smiled down at her and she smiled back "Well even so Loki I'm still glad you restrained yourself." they started walking again "Want to know what we haven't done since coming back?" Terra looked at Loki "Swimming"Terra shivered "Loki you can't put fire to water and you know that" Loki just smiled and picked her up bridal style and started walking again.

"Loki what're you doing?" he just smiled mischievously and kept walking.

Finally he set her down, "meet me at the lake in an hour, bring Samantha and Thor with you" Terra looked at him incredulously as he walked away.

Opening her door she decided to take a quick nap before the swimming endeavor, within seconds she was asleep.

"Mommy, wake up!" it was Brenna "Daddy sayed you need to meet him at the lake" Terra bolted up and snapped her swimsuit on under her clothes, she did the same with Brenna, picked her up and ran out of the room.

Skidding to a halt outside Thor's room she knocked but got no response so she tried Samantha's, the blonde sibling opened her door and seemed in the know since she was already set to go.

"Loki told us earlier, Thor should be with him."Terra grabbed Samantha's hand and apparated to the lake "Here we are" she set Brenna down and let go of Samantha's hand.

She looked around and saw Thor but no Loki that was until...*SPLASH* She had been glad she taken her clothes off before hand her head broke the surface and she was Pissed, so pissed that the water around her was bubbling madly.

She waited till he was turned around to grab his ankle and drag him in with her he gasped when his head broke the surface and he glared at her "How dare you!" he turned and grabbed her by the waist.

Terra looked around for her sister who had gone under water some time ago and still hadn't come up yet "Sammy's been down there for over an hour" she ducked her head under the water and spotted her sister at the bottom near one of the underground caves.

Pushing to the surface again she called Loki over and pointed down "Thor watch Brenna, I'm going down to find Samantha." Thor nodded and picked the little girl up to put her on his shoulders as Loki and Terra dove down under water.

Once under the spotted the blonde swimming into the cavern, following suit Terra reached the cave and swam through the shadowy corridor Loki was close behind when she had to come up for air.

Once above water again she gasped, the inside of the cavern was filled with element crystals, red ones for fire, blue ones for water, clear for air, green for earth, it was a myriad of colors. Loki's head popped up next to her "I never knew this was here, did you Loki?" Loki nodded "I knew caves like this existed but never this close to the palace."

Terra spotted Samantha near the water crystals she was practicing a spell that made it rain, the water that had fallen made the crystals glow.

Hopping out of the water she walked over to her sister "So this is where you've been going all those times I couldn't find you" she nodded.

"This is my hiding spot alright, its undisturbed beauty, these crystals are where I derive my magic from Terra, it's what my necklace is made out of" she pulled out the pendant Thor bought her when the two girls were mere children.

"You're lucky Terra, your magic stems from inside of you while mine is artificial from these crystals" Samantha looked disheartened as she held the pendant close.

Terra focused on the fire crystals and the bushel began to glow, Loki watched the two intrigued.

"Samantha" Terra placed a comforting hand on her sisters shoulder but this seemed to Upset Samantha "You don't know what it's like, living in another persons shadow your entire life" she was mad and enveloped Terra in a ball of water.

"Samantha LET ME OUT!" she pounded on the wall of the sphere but Samantha didn't listen instead she started filling it water, Terra started freaking out.

Loki seemed intrigued by the action and wished to see what would happen next.

Terra had held her breath for a solid minute before she needed air, she pounded harder on the bubble but Samantha just got angrier until her air ran out that's when Loki tackled Samantha to the ground and the bubble popped sending Terra plummeting to the ground unconscious.

"Samantha what have you done!" he hurried over to her, sitting her up he tapped her face.

"Terra...Terra this isn't funny wake up" he checked fro a pulse, it was faint but it was there.

"Samantha you may have doomed her, how could you do this to your sister?"

He looked at the blonde who was still fuming mad but had begun to calm down.

She walked over and knelt down.

"Terra..."

she wouldn't wake up...
