Lyn's head was pounding even harder than the night she'd spent talking with Thor. That had been 6 weeks ago. She hadn't drunk anything since that night, which probably explained why she felt so rough now. Sitting up and making sense of the blurry room around her she was relieved to see she was at home. But something didn't seem right. She looked to see the other side of the bed messed up, like someone had slept there and left in the morning. There were clothes on the floor too; a mixture of male clothes and her own confirmed she hadn't spent last night alone. The fact that her jeans hung on the door handle made her rub her face wearily.

Last night was slowly slotting back into her mind as she got up and pulled on her underwear and a dressing gown. Someone had spent the night, she'd have to apologize to Emily when she saw her, but for the life of her she couldn't remember who this mysterious man was. She opened her bedroom door to hear the sound of someone cooking. It looked like she'd have to apologize sooner rather than later.

"Emily I am so sorry for last night, I was…" Lyn trailed off as she saw who was at the kitchen counter. He was just setting down a plate of pancakes.

"Good Morning." Loki said. Lyn noticed he was only wearing a pair of boxer shorts; the rest of his clothes were in her room. "I made you breakfast." He pointed to the pancakes. Lyn sat down at the counter.

"Uh, have you seen my roommate?" Lyn asked, picking up a warm pancake and biting it. She was surprised at how good it was and wondered how Loki had learnt. By the amount he'd made it might have been the only food he could cook.

"I think she's still asleep." He paused, starting to eat a pancake. "Do you…do you remember last night?"

Lyn appreciated the parallel the universe had just thrown her.

"It's there somewhere." She commented. "Most memories are, we just can't get at them." Reaching for a second pancake she studied Loki's face. He appeared to think about what she said, but didn't dwell on it too long.

"I assume you know what we did." Lyn nodded. There was silence for a bit as the two slowly ate the pancakes.

"What else can you cook?" Lyn asked after the pancakes had gone.

"Grilled Cheese." Lyn couldn't help but laugh.

"Is that all you've been eating?" She asked. Loki looked down at his feet like a child being told off and nodded slowly. "You should get Tony to…"

Lyn was distracted by the familiar sound of Emily stumbling around her room. She suddenly remembered that Loki had the face of a dead man. Even worse, the face of her dead husband. She didn't have time to respond before Emily opened the door. Loki turned to look at her.

Emily was not a morning person. Her mind didn't wake up until after a morning coffee and a bowl of cereal coated in a thick layer of sugar. She woke up from a 4 hour sleep after a 10 hour shift and was most definitely not ready to face the day. As she left her room she saw several things which demanded the use of her brain. The first was Lyn in a familiar robe which she referred to as her 'post-sex robe', as she'd only seen her roommate wear it after she'd had a guy over. The second was a tall dark haired man in his underwear who was looking at her. She looked back at him and even in her morning state recognised him.

"Lucas?!" She cried. "You're dead! You died! I went to your funeral! LYN! WHAT IS GOING ON?" she ended up screaming at her roommate. Lyn raised her hands.

"He's not Lucas. I can explain, Emily. I wanted to, but Fury…"

Lyn stopped to look at Not-Lucas. He was looking at the two of them strangely. Lyn walked forward and pushed Emily backwards into her bedroom.

"I'll explain later, all you need to know right now is that he is not Lucas. He's called Loki." She kept her voice low so Loki wouldn't hear.

"The evil guy who destroyed half of New York?" Emily said, clearly not having the same concern over the volume of her voice.. Loki heard her and raised an eyebrow at his reputation preceding him.

"…Yes. He's different now. He's working for Tony and Bruce." Lyn whispered. Emily sighed.

"Explain it later. Both of you need to get to work." She mocked. Lyn cursed and turned to look at Loki.

"You can shower first." She said. Loki nodded and listened to her patiently as she explained how to work their shower.

While Loki was in the shower Lyn stood in her room. She selected the clothes she would wear today and collected the exact change for the coffee she was going to buy, placing it by the clothes. She packed her bag with what she thought she'd need and some things she hoped she wouldn't, briefly stepping into the kitchen to retrieve her pre-made lunches. Just as she finished her morning preparations she turned to see Loki standing in the doorway.

Soaking wet.

Completely nude.

"Uh…there weren't any towels."
