All right, this might be my last update for today at the moment. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I own nothing except my OC Robin

I plopped down on the white couch in the living room, letting out a frustrated sigh, "Ugh! It feels like we got nothing done!"

"Just be patient, Robin," Steve said, "We just have to wait for the results."

"Patience is a virtue that I don't have!" I shot back, "I thought you knew this by now!"

Steve sighed, "Then find something to do until then."

"Like what?"

Loki chuckled, You could always do me, mortal. . .

All of the color drained from my face as my eyes widened, What?! I got no response from him, but Steve waved his hand in front of my face, snapping me back to reality.

"Robin! Are you okay? You got pale all of the sudden. . ." Steve looked at me with concern.

I looked at him for a moment before nodding, "Yeah . . . I'm fine. . ." Knock it off, Loki!

Loki chuckled, Why should I? Your reactions amuse me.

I let out an exasperated sigh, Seriously?

Steve still looked at me with brotherly worry, "Are you sure? You've been acting weird for a while now. . . Are you sick?"

"What? No!" I protested, "Steve, I'm fine!" And then my nose decided that it was the perfect time to sneeze.

Steve raised an eyebrow, "Uh-huh. . ."

Ayame bounded over to us and plopped down next to me, "Aww! Robby just needs a hug!"

I gave her a death-glare and snarled in a dead serious tone, "You hug me, you die."

She widened her eyes, "Never mind." Just then, Thor entered the room. Ayame looked up at him and smiled, "Thor!" she exclaimed happily as she ran up and hugged him.

Thor chuckled and returned the hug, "Hello, Ayame!"

I rolled my eyes and stared out the window. The Mighty Thor has returned, Loki commented, his voice full of disdain.

Ayame then hid behind Thor and pointed at me, "Robby threatened to kill me!"

Thor chuckled, "She does that. She even threatened to kill me, once!"

Did you? Loki chuckled, sounding slightly impressed.

Well, he was annoying me! I replied, And he ate some of my chocolate stash, so I threatened to rip his intestines out and melt them to his face!

Well then! he answered, sounding surprised, and then he chuckled, I knew there was a reason I liked you!

I rolled my eyes and teased, Only one reason?

No, there are many reasons for why I have grown fond of you, that threat you told him only added to the list.

I widened my eyes slightly in surprise, Really? But . . . I'm not a likeable person. . .

He replied sincerely, I disagree, Robin. . .

I was sent back to reality when Ayame poked my side, "Robin? You look like you're floating on a cloud. . ."

I looked at her, confused, "I do? Must be the energy in my brain. . ."

Thor walked up to us, "What energy?"

"Bruce said that there was an odd energy signature in my brain," I explained, "and that it would cause me to have trouble focusing."

Thor furrowed his brow in concentration, "Interesting. . ." He suddenly walked off towards the lab.

Ayame and I shared a confused glance before she followed after him. I just sat there on the couch, left with my own thoughts. I stared out the window, looking over the city. It was surprisingly calm for a city with escaped convicts hiding in it. Out of sheer boredom, I stared looking for random shapes in the fluffy white clouds.

Pretty soon, though, Thor entered the living room again. "Robin, how did you come into contact with Aserian magic?"

I looked up at him, confused by his sudden question, "What?"

"The energy signatures in your brain," he explained, "They match that of Asgard."

"They do?"

"Yes, more specifically, they match Loki's magic. How did that happen?" Everyone looked at me with confused and curious glances.

I shifted slightly under their gaze before slouching into the couch, Should I tell them?

Loki sighed, That is entirely up to you, Robin.

Well, they already figured out what it is. I think I have to. . . I took a deep breath and looked around the room at each of them. "You know when I got that big gash on my head?"

Steve nodded, "Yeah, you said you cauterized it. What about it?"

I closed my eyes and mentally prepared myself before looking at my brother, "Well . . . I might have told a teeny little lie. . ."

I know it's a bit short, but I wanted to leave off at a cliff hanger because, as my friend calls me, I am an "evil little gremlin". XD
