…Chapter Three…

When Samantha pulled up and parked her car, she shut off the engine, and took a deep breath. "Loki…" she looked over, but he wasn't there. "Uh, Loki?"

"Yes, I'm here." he said, into her mind, then she felt his cold fingers on her arm, which startled her for a second. "Only you can hear and feel me."

"Oh, great." she chuckled. "Let's hope nobody catches me talking to myself. I mean, how would I explain that one?"

"Just talk to your sister and get me back to Asgard."

"Yes, sir." she rolled her eyes, giving him a half ass salute, then got out of her car, and took a few deep breaths, before slowly walking inside, where she saw Darcy on one side of the room and Jane was with Erik on the other.

"Say something. Let your presence be known."

"Yeah, yeah. I got this." she whispered and took another deep breath. "Uh, knock, knock." Jane was the first one to snap her head up, followed by Darcy, then Erik. "Hello, Sis." she waved.

"Sam?" Jane blinked a few times, then slowly went up to her. "What are you doing here?"

"Well, I was in the neighborhood, so I decided to stop by."

"Bullshit."

"Actually, I told her to come." Darcy raised her hand, only to get a glare from Jane. "Um, surprise."

Jane turned her attention back to her sister. "You didn't have to come. You should have stayed where you were. Where ever the hell that was."

"She has a lot of hatred for you. As do I, for Thor."

Samantha ignored Loki's comment and got face to face with Jane. "Well, I'm here now and I'm here to help."

"Help with what? I don't need any help, especially from you."

"Jane."

"What, Erik? I didn't need her then and I definitely don't need her now."

"Tell her you're not leaving."

Samantha crossed her arms. "Well, I'm not leaving. Darcy told me everything that's been going on and I'm here to help you through it. Whatever you need, and whether you like it or not."

Jane glared at Darcy. "I can't believe you called her."

"I had to." she stood up. "You're overly obsessed on finding Thor and it's been driving Erik and I completely nuts! Let's face it, Jane, it's been over five months. He's not coming back."

"You and I both know that I'm this close to finding a way for him to come back to me, and he will, Darcy. He promised."

"All of this is so touching." Loki chuckled, shaking his head. "And for our sakes, it looks like your sister will not give up." he got closer to Samantha."Tell Jane exactly what she wants to hear."

Samantha took a deep breath. "Okay, look, Jane… you're my sister. My blood and the only family I've got, so how 'bout we put all that bullshit that happened in the past - way behind us and move on with a clean slate?" there was a long pause, then she sighed. "I miss you."

"That sounds fair."

Jane glared at Darcy for a moment, before turning her attention back to her sister, and crossed her arms. "Oh, yeah? What's in it for you?"

"Samantha." suddenly, she felt Loki's hot breath on her neck, which sent chills up her spine. "Keep in mind that none of them can know your true intention. They cannot know you are helping me."

"Sam, what's in it for you?" Jane asked again.

"Answer her."

Samantha snapped out of her daze, feeling Loki's cold fingers on her sides. "Oh, what do I get out of it? My big sister back into my life… where you should be."

Jane looked from Erik to Darcy, then back to Samantha, and took a breath. "I need some time to think about it and we'll see what happens."

"Fair enough." she put her hands up in defeat. "I'll wait, because I'm not going anywhere."

"Fine, I have to get back to work." then Jane went over to her table.

Loki quickly let go of Samantha as Erik gave her a hug. "It's good to see you again."

"Yeah." she let go of him. "It's been a while."

"Who did that to you, Sam?" Erik asked, as he lightly grazed his fingers on her cheek, and Loki didn't know why it bothered him, but he grabbed Samantha's side and kept a firm grip on it.

She glared in Loki's direction, before looking back at Erik. "Uh, my ex got mad at me because I was coming here, so I left him."

"What a jerk, right?" Darcy sat down in her chair.

Suddenly, Jane looked up at Samantha. "Where are you staying?"

"The hotel down the street. Room one - twenty - one."

"Oh." Jane nodded, then turned her attention back to her work.

A few minutes later, Samantha's phone rang. She took it out of her pocket and groaned. "Excuse me, everyone… I gotta take this." then as she walked outside, she pressed the talk button. "What the hell could you possibly want, Nate?"

"Is that the ex boyfriend?"

Samantha nodded, hearing Loki's voice, but got no response from Nathan. "What. Do. You. Want?"

"I want you to come back. I'm sorry for what I did, so will you come back home?"

"Your sorry means absolutely nothing to me and I'm staying right where I'm at, but what you need to do is… get your shit and get out of my apartment. If I do come back, you better not be there." before Nathan could respond, Samantha hung up on him, and sighed, leaning against her car.

"Are you alright?"

Samantha stared in his direction a few seconds before she slightly nodded. "Uh, yeah… I'm fine. I'm tired of his bullshit and I just want him to leave me alone, for good."

"Hey, Sam?" Darcy walked outside, a minute later. "We have a ton of work to do, but later on, we're all going to the bar for a drink… you wanna come?"

"Yeah, sure." Samantha nodded. "While you guys are doing whatever, I'm gonna go shopping or hang out in my motel room."

"All by yourself?"

"Well, yeah." Samantha waved her hand. "I'll probably take a nap or something."

"Okay, I'll let you know when we head over to the bar."

"Awesome." Samantha got into her car, started it, then rolled down the window. "See you tonight." she waved, before she drove off. When she got to the hotel, she parked in her spot, got out, and walked into her room. "That was surprisingly fun." she muttered, landing face first onto the bed, then she turned her head. Suddenly, her eyes widened. "Oh, shit!" she quickly stood up. "I forgot Loki!"

As she was about to rush out the door, Loki became visible, making her bump right into him. "No, you didn't."

Both of them locked eyes with each other, a second before Samantha backed up. "Don't… don't do that."

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. I just wanted you to know that you didn't leave me there."

"Oh, okay." she sat down on the bed, then giggled.

"What's so funny?"

"Oh, nothing, it's just… it must be nice to do all the things that you can do."

"What if I could give you magic and power?"

"I don't know." she shrugged. "I wouldn't even know what to do with it." she laid down on her back. "So, with all of your gifts… how come you can't find your own way back to Asgard?"

"It's complicated."

"Of course it is." she chuckled. "Everything always is."

Loki sat down next to her and looked into her eyes. "Do you not believe me?"

"Even if I do or I don't, like you said… I don't have a choice, so really, it doesn't matter what I believe."

"Well, what do you believe, Samantha?" he asked, getting closer to her.

"It doesn't matter."

"Yes, it does."

"Why!" she yelled, a little.

Loki was taken aback, but then he stood up. "You're right, it doesn't matter." he stared at her a few seconds, before walking out of the room, slamming the door behind him.

"Excellent." Samantha groaned, slapping her head with her hand. "Note to self: try not to piss him off." then she rolled onto her stomach and closed her eyes.

...

Once Loki left the room, he became invisible, just in case. He decided to take a little walk and calm down, only, he had no clue where to go and he didn't know why the argument with Samantha bothered him so much, but it did. He just met this mortal and she was nothing to him, but his ticket back home. After thinking it over for another twenty minutes, he turned around, and headed back to Samantha's hotel room.

"Samantha…" Loki said, as he walked back in, now visible, but he saw that she was asleep. He shut and locked the door, then quietly went up to her.

Loki watched her sleep five minutes, with a slight smile, before he covered her with the blanket, then he sat down on the couch, and rested his eyes for a bit.
