Chapter 8: Talks

AN: I don't see Hiccup as an abused little boy, I see him as a child that everyone thought got underfoot and was neglected in the way of bigger and better things. Unfortunately it happens that sometimes parents are busy and don't know how to connect with their children. Some children are just different then others so they try to connect but eventually feel they aren't understood and seek solitude. I think that happened with hiccup. Unfortunately I don't feel that I can write scenes like this well. What was going to happen was that Hiccup's outburst would show them what it was like growing up. Sif would feel remorse. That still will happen but I will skip the scenes to when hiccup wakes up from his outburst.

Still in shock from all they saw in Hiccup's past, they shook themselves to still see Hiccup in a sort of trance floating above them still snowing hard surrounded by the green magic. Loki was getting worried for his son. He knew it had been bad but even he had it better than Hiccup did. He had Frigga and Thor, Hiccup had Stoick's tough love similar to Odin's and Gobber a weird uncle. Loki had refuge in his friends, Hiccup's only refuge was the forge. Gobber still was there though. Still thinking about this Loki realized the storm was calming. Suddenly Hiccup fell right into the arms of his father.

Hiccup woke up in a comfortable bed with silk sheets and fur comforting. He was feeling extremely upset for some reason but couldn't figure out why. What was happening? Then Loki walked in Toothless at his feet. Hiccup remembered he was on Asgard and he had just had a magical temper tantrum. Sensing his friend was upset Toothless bounded to the bed and licked Hiccup's face earning a chuckle from Loki as he sat at his sons feet.

"Toothless! You know that doesn't come out!"

"How are you?" Loki asked concern clear in his eyes.

"Confused, What just happened?"

"Your magic happened. As I said you inherited powers from me."

"Yes I understand that but what did I do? How long have I been out?"

"You've been out a day, and what you did is made Sif understand."

"Understand?"

"I was trying to word it carefully, but you showed her your childhood."

"Ugh! Well just great!"

"You know she feels bad, the others too."

"All of them saw?"

"Fandral won't talk, Hogan won't stop talking, Volstagg wont eat."

"Wow, that's not normal right?"

"Not at all, but neither is what you just did Hiccup."

"I guess I'll never be normal then. Not such a bad thing."

"No but you surprised me, your magic is stronger then I thought."

" Why hasn't is shown before now?"

"Sometimes magic can be driven by extreme feelings like anger."

"Oh," Hiccup thought on that, he had never really been that angry.

"Well how are you feeling now?"

"Pretty good but what I really need is a flight."

"An hour or so flight should be ok," Loki consented.

That was all Hiccup really needed, he jumped out and ran to the balcony. Quickly clipping himself on to the saddle he and Toothless took off. They flew through Asgard's golden towers exploring and waving to children. The architecture was amazing! Hiccup was pleased with his choice to come but felt bad for what had happened. Seeing a flash a red and silver he decided to ask for silver. He dived of toothless in his flight suit. He had been hoping to practice his landings. Sif looked up to see a boy flying towards her with his dragon behind him then…CRASH!

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, it's nothing that hasn't happened before."

"What were you doing?"

"Flying my dragon Toothless."

"I thought you people fought dragons?"

"We did until I came along, I'll tell you later.

"So how may I help you?"

"I'd like to apologize for my outburst, I hope I haven't frightened you away?"

"Why would you hope that? I took your father from you."

"Because if I didn't make an attempt to apologize my girlfriend would kill me."

"You are courting?"

"Yeah, Astrid is our fiercest warrior. She idolizes you."

"I am glad to hear that I am someone to look up too."

"Yeah, well I was wondering, in an attempt to make things better?"

"What would you like?"

"Can I have a lesson in sword fighting?"

"The best lesson is practice, I know the perfect place. May I?"

With a nod of consent Sif hopped on Toothless and Hiccup got on as well. When they were high enough Sif pointed out the observatory they had come from before. Hiccup took off excited to try something new. Landing they both jumped down and walked in.

"Heimdal, send us to norseheim!"

"The boys father is okay with this?"

"Uh yeah he is!" Hiccup lied hesitantly as Heimdal opened the portal.
