Thank you so much for the favourites etc. I'm really enjoying writing this, getting all my Loki feels out! So without further ado here is the next chapter. Enjoy! X
"W-what? I can't be. I- I'm human. I'm from earth I'm not from… wherever it is you're from. And look at me! I'm no giant! That's ridiculous." Her eyes were wide with shock while her brows furrowed with confusion.
"It's okay." Loki reached over the table placing his hand gently on hers. If she truly were a Frost Giant he would have an ally. Perhaps they would even rule the earth together? "We can figure this out, I'll help you."
"You were going to kill me a few moments ago. Now you realize I'm a monster too you're going to help me? HOW! By making me as twisted as you?" Her anger had got the better of her again as she spat the words at him. Loki moved his hand away quickly and stood up. His jaw stiffened as he scowled down at her.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean that. Please forgive me. I just… I don't understand." She looked up at him helplessly, her eyes full of questions. In that moment he saw himself screaming at Odin to tell him the answers he so desperately needed and for the first time in a very long while he wanted to help. With no gain or ulterior motive of his own. Perhaps it would be possible to stop her being completely consumed by this, as he had been.
"I forgive you." He walked around to her and knelt by her side taking her hand again. "I must go to Germany, there is something I require. When I return I will help you in every way I can. You must promise to stay here though. I will ensure you are treated well." For the God of Lies he was being brutally honest, there were no tricks here.
Rose nodded and impulsively threw her arms around his neck. Loki stiffened in surprise. It had been so long since someone had hugged him. As she began to move away he wrapped his arms around her waist drawing her closer, revelling in the comfort of having someone simply hold him.
They continued to hold each other for quite a while, until Agent Barton announced they were ready to depart. Loki nodded standing up and kissing the back of Roses hand gently. She gripped it holding him where he was.
"Be careful." She said simply before letting him go. Why she was worried about a Gods safety was beyond her, and an evil one at that. But she was. Loki flashed that dazzling grin of his before leaving with Clint.
She sat for a couple of hours, processing everything that had just happened. She could run, report back to S.H.E.I.L.D. Report what? She knew nothing other than the fact she could be an alien. That would help no one. Then there was the fact she sort of wanted to stay with him. What if she was a Frost Giant? He could help, he'd be the only one to understand and perhaps she could help him too. Find a way to get rid of the bitterness that devoured his heart.
So that was it? After a couple of minutes of conversation she was ready to betray those who had stood by her for years? No. No she wasn't betraying them. She wouldn't help his scheme. If anything she were trying to stop it and the moment he stepped out of line she would fight him. It seemed rationale enough to her; she wished she could speak to Tony or Steve. No not Steve, he's far too pure. Rose would never want him to look upon her in that way. Hell, she didn't want any of them to but they'd give her advice. They'd know what was right.
