Yay chapter 4! c: I hope you like this one I put a lot of work into this and follow, favorite and review! Happy Reading!
Steamy hot water dripped down, wet strawberry smelling hair was draped over thin shoulders. A slight squeak came from the handle to turn the water off, droplets of water bounced to the floor with a tap. Drying her hair off, water was squeezed out.
Opening the steamy glass door, fog was spilled into the cold room. Shivering she grabbed her towel quickly and wrapped it around her small body. Walking out to her room faint rock music flowed through the quiet room, its sound coming from the laptop she received as a present. She quickly changed to a gray long sleeved shirt and black skinny's with matching gray socks. Lifting the volume a little louder on her laptop the rock music's lyrics were audible now. She opened one of her closets, which was where she kept her old trunk and old sketchbooks and art utensils. Crouching down, Jay opened the trunk, her left hand on top of the lid was scraping and scratching on the peeling leather. She rummaged through the trunk looking for her paint brushes but instead she hissed as something pretty sharp poked her finger, taking it out she found a broken shard of an..
"Emerald?" Jay said as she stared at it, sucking her finger. She twirled the green jewel between her fingertips "Now where'd you come from?" she mumbled to herself now biting her nail. As she still looked at it she tried to remember where it came from but instead it vibrated against her and lit up to a bright green color, Jay yelped in surprise and dropped it on the carpeted floor and slid away from it quickly.
"WHAT THE HELL?!"
Covering her mouth quickly she stood and opened her bedroom door, she looked throughout the hallway and saw nothing.
"My lady your parents are in the lobby dealing with a certain matter."
Jay squeaked in fright, forgetting that Jarvis is always here with her. Sighing she looked back at the broken shard of the green jewel, her eyebrows scrunching up in confusion she walked back into her room she snatched the emerald and put the broken shard in her pocket its vibrations and glowing stopped. "Jarvis do you think dad would mind if I went to the café near here?" Jay asked him as she grabbed her thick sweater and navy blue scarf.
"My lady it is freezing outside are you sure you want to? And I'm not sure but if they accept they might want to accompany you." Jarvis said but when Jay was heading over to the elevator he contacted Tony to tell him that she was coming.
He panted rather heavily, his thin coat and his black pants stitched to his body, the heels of his shoes ran deeply into the dirt in the park "Where?!" he muttered rather harshly to himself, the green emerald jewel necklace bouncing off his chest as he ran, he could feel it vibrating underneath that thin coat. It hasn't stopped since he's entered this damned park! He ran still, thick smoky puffs of air ghosting out of his mouth but now it's vibrating stopped which made him stop, confused he took the necklace out its color returning to its dull green "What the hell?" he mumbled to himself he looked up and realized he was at the other side of the park. The exit to be exact, looking around he noticed a small café near the Stark Tower he growled in annoyance, he hated that 'Iron Man.'
Sighing in frustration he walked towards the café and ordered a small coffee and sat outside not minding the weather. His life was always cold to him anyway so why should it bother him now?
"But why by yourself?"
Jay looked down and fiddled with her small fingers, why did she want to go by herself? The emerald vibrated again in her pocket. "Lie quickly!" her eyes widened did..did the jewel just speak to her?! "Hurry!" Jay quickly tried to come up with a lie and as she did she lied like a professional. "I want to go by myself because I want to make friends. But if you're there those people will only want to be my friends because you're my father. Who wouldn't want to be close acquaintances with the Tony Stark?" Tony smirked, because it was true but Tony being a father now wanted his daughter to have true friends, not the type to just befriend her because of her status. Pepper hugged her and gave her the extra cell phone she carried with her, Pepper explained to Jay on how to use it since it was the first phone she's ever seen or touched. Funny how she knew how to use a computer and iron gloves and boots to fly but not a phone. Being pecked on both cheeks with kisses Jay ran out the lobby putting her hood up so her face wouldn't freeze entirely. The jewel in her pocket vibrated violently "Keep walking and follow my directions, understood?" Jay jumped she forgotten that the jewel could speak to her. It was funny how she wasn't totally freaked out about it, maybe because she's faced weirder things before when she was at the hospital and orphanage so she hummed in response and followed the directions and luckily she ended up at the small café that she wanted to visit in the first place.
The vibrating stopped and she met beautiful forest green orbs that trapped her in that very spot. The man was standing it looked like he was getting ready to leave but as his eyes connected with hers he dropped his cup and Jay's hood fell, her dark Hershey hair spilling out and blowing with the wind.
"Hello. Uhm pardon me, but does the café have hot chocolate? I mean most cafés usually sell coffee. I think, its called a café for a reason, right?"
She giggled in embarrassment and the man stood there confused. Did she not know him at all? Why wasn't he greeted with a hug and tears? But then he realized that she hadn't grown at all, 'Why hasn't she grown?!' he thought he started walking up to her slowly he covered his mouth in disbelief. 'Is he ok?' Jay thought, confusion slowly spraying its way on her face. "Mister?" Jay looked at him in worry was he sick? Then she took a good look at him and realized that..
"WHY ARE YOU WEARING THOSE CLOTHES?! ITS FREEZING!" she yelled and took off her scarf and quickly wrapped it around his slim pale neck "Do you want to catch a cold?!" she questioned him as if she was scolding a child who was in trouble. Like jeez didn't the man know how to dress himself with the proper clothes for the weather?
"I'm sorry.." his silky soft voice burned her ears. Her cheeks were red and smoky puffs of air escaped from her soft pink dried lips. Rubbing her ears she bounced back on her heels no longer standing on her toes. "Well get inside I'm gonna buy you some hot chocolate to warm you up." turning him around she pushed on his back to get him inside the warm café. She told him to sit somewhere and that she'd order the sweet hot beverages for them. As he sat down in a booth he looked around slowly catching glimpses of suspicion maybe? Or others of hate or disgust. Looking back at the young girl he saw her smile and clap her hands in happiness at the cashier lady who smiled back at her she left to make her the two cups of sweet hot chocolate she looked around and took out something from her pocket it was small but had a dull shine to it.
"Huh? You're not glowing anymore." setting it down on the counter top she poked at it slightly bored and curious as to why it stopped doing anything now. Looking up she saw the lady returning with the beverages "Two hot chocolates one with extra sugar and one piece of sweet apple pie." Jay stuffed the stone back to her pocket and hummed happily taking the beverages and pie she paid the young lady and received change in return, she walked back to find the man staring at her again "This guy needs to stop looking at me like that. Its creepy.." she mumbled under her breathe setting the cups down with the piece of pie, she sat in front of him in the booth. An awkward silence followed "Uh we can share the piece of pie if you want? But try anything funny I will hit you. Understand?" she gave him a stern look that said 'I'm not kidding asshole.'
Smiling again she slid the hot chocolate to him, "Don't be shy just take it. I'm only hitting you if you do something that's not supposed to happen so chill out ok?" she said as she grabbed her hot chocolate being careful as not to burn her tongue. "Still like sweet things I see." Jay's eyes widened she looked at him he was smirking as he drank his hot beverage, what did he mean by 'still?' setting the cup down she grabbed the fork that was on top of the pie container opening it she stabbed the pie to rip off a piece she stuffed the apple pie in her mouth and looked at him. "Sorry I don't now why I said that, forget it Kh-"
"Its Jay by the way. I figured that since we're here might as well introduce ourselves. Now tell me your name." she cut him off not caring about her manners or politeness to this man. He chuckled at her, he ripped a piece of pie "Loki." Jay quirked an eyebrow at him and grinned at his name. it was weird but in a way it was surprisingly fitting for him, she saw him eat the piece of pie and drink from his hot chocolate eyeing her the whole time as he did so, setting the cup down he pulled up the scarf to his nose smelling it and looked at her again. Blushing, Jay hissed at him "Stop that! I'm starting to think that you really are a pervert." he laughed and assured her that he was joking with her. "I'm warning you, I don't play well with others, so watch it!"
"You play well with me.." Jay continued to eat her pie, once she swallowed it she spoke "Then you got lucky." Loki smiled at her he always got lucky with her "Shut it green eyes, just because you got lucky doesn't mean anything!" she threw a raspberry at him and crossed her arms, Loki sighed and wrapped the cotton scarf around him a bit tighter loving its sweet smell. As he watched Jay finish eating he asked her many questions so many that he could feel his jaw hurting from talking so much, he loved how he was able to make her smile and angry and then embarrassed it was like old times, like when they were younger. But then she touched his forehead which stopped him from asking his next question.
"You're still cold..maybe you should come over to my place. We have a fireplace that can warm you up if you want?"
He grabbed her hand the warmth of her body flowing under his fingertips he looked her in the eyes and shook his head in response "I'm just naturally cold Jay." Jay believed him and looked at him deeply in those green eyes she looked down and clutched her chest and nodded. 'Hurt didn't it?' a voice in her head said frowning she nodded slightly barely visible under Loki's green eyesight.
That's when the phone rang, its ringtone frightening her which made Loki snicker he let go of her and let her answer the phone "Hi dad." Loki watched her admiring her birthmark on the side of her face. "Oh ok, are..are they nice?" she asked her father through the phone rubbing her neck she sighed gently "Ok..no you don't need to pick me up I'll have my friend wal- hehe yes I have made a friend. His name is.." looking at him, Loki held a finger up to his lips in a 'hush' way, lifting a eyebrow she looked away and told her father that his name was Luke. They chatted for a bit more but of course it had to end so she told him goodbye and gave him kisses through the phone and hung up.
"Awww now give us a kiss.." Loki teases with a grin Jay giggled and stood zipping up her thick sweater "Stop it.' she giggled out and threw out the two cups and pie container that they had not too long ago. Loki chuckled his shiny white teeth sparkling out they both left, the navy blue scarf was covering Loki's lower half of his face his eyes scattering all over the place like googly eyes, Jay walked next to him hands held tightly with one another as they walked not caring why he was acting strangely. "So why didn't you want my dad to know your name?" Jay blinked in curiosity, her cheeks red the puffs of air escaping her mouth as she spoke "Personal reasons that I wish not to speak of." he said as he looked to cross the street. Jay looked down and rubbed her fingers against Loki's pale hand pouting slightly, looking up they crossed the street and the Stark Tower was in full view after a little while of walking, the grip on her hand loosened "You live here?" he asked disbelief in his voice but he tried so hard to hide it Jay smirked and nodded. "Well thank you Luke!" she smiled and let go of his hand "Dad said I'm going to meet some friends of his. But thank you for this lovely day!" she said and hugged him now realizing how tall he was, she rubbed her face deeply into his lower chest and let go of him. She ran inside waving him goodbye.
She had hugged him. Her warm sweet hugs. He had really missed them but he would never admit that, it wasn't in his nature. But he was able to pretend at least. He looked up at the building despising it inch by inch. Even though he hated that Stark he remembered that his Khu lived there with him. He turned away knowing perfectly well the friends that will be visiting. Including his idiot oaf of a brother.
Thor.
