''No...'' Darcy muttered as she tossed the grey shirt aside after she'd put it against Loki, shaking her head.

Where in Odin's name did this Midgardian find her ability to be so annoying, it was worse than sitting beside Thor on horses whilst battling. Loki was certain they were going shopping for her not for him and was becoming very mad at the girl who wouldn't shut her mouth up or stop throwing clothes onto him.

His eyes trailed to the woman at the counter who was looking at him hungrily, she was attractive for a Midgardian he assumed, considering her skin was covered in a strange orange tone and her hair looked like it was about to break off, she looked quite fake to him for all Asgardian women chose to wear make up that flattered them not turned them into some form of animal.

He glanced at Darcy who was stretching up to get some sort of wretched clothing, her skin was naturally flawless and fair which was treasured in Asgard. His lips formed into a smirk as he wandered what the people of Asgard would think if he brought back the human girl with him, oh how they would all stare interested in their Asgardian royal's gossip. He highly doubted Odin would be forgiving even after his punishment he would most likely be put in prison surrounded by guards and if Darcy was there she'd probably be requested by himself to join him.

''Stop smiling like that there's no kid's here.'' Darcy muttered rolling her eyes throwing the clothes onto a pile on the floor raking a hand through her long hair.

''Are you finished here?'' Loki asked standing up and stretching slightly, he rubbed his jaw and wondered how long they'd been there for.

''Yeah, let's go see John.''

Loki followed her raising his eyebrow at the persons name, the girl near the counter muttered something under her breathe once they walked past. Darcy walked to a small shop that had dark clothing and strange guitar music playing loudly, many Midgardian's with piercings and those inked markings stood looking at the clothes. He would much rather be battling Frost Giant's than go into this place, frankly the amount of looks he was getting was enough to set his teeth on edge.

''Hey Darce who's this?'' A male voice came from behind the counter, he was obviously someone whom Darcy would fall for. He wore a strange jacket with long dark pants that didn't quite fit though he seemed much kinder than most people he had encountered today. He had some strange piercing on his lips.

Darcy spun around pointing to Loki and pointing to John with a smirk.

''This is a pain in the butt. Pain in the butt meet John. Hey do you think you have anything that would suit him, his a bit of an idiot when it comes to clothing..and everything else.'' Darcy said rolling her eyes, she glanced down at the counter and found some strange candy that was put on a white stick, she began unwrapping it and putting it into her mouth it much looked like a small cigar apart from the fact no smoke was coming out.

''Hey man. Yeah, don't think much in here would suit him. We have a couple of leather jackets in the back, other than that doubt it.'' John said grinning a little, Loki felt Darcy's hand tug on his own and lead him to the back of the store whilst the pierced people stood looking at him quietly.

A small line of strange leather type things were piled on top of each other in a separate room where they stood, Darcy began to sift through it all the while tauntingly sucking and licking on that candy of hers he began to wonder if she was doing it on purpose.

She was leaning over once again to expose her breasts in which her hard to look away from, her incredibly silky hair was also annoying him as well as her full lips closing over the candy again and again.

''Here go try this on.'' Darcy said forcefully handing him a darker looking leather jacket and those strange jeans she was always talking of. Loki looked up to her in confusion as he held the clothing in his hand lightly. He noticed the way she sighed as if it were obvious where he should go.

''You see Loki, in Midgard, we try our clothes on and then buy them. Not get professionals to get our clothes made for us, you just go through there and on the left it will have a picture of a man on the front and you go in there and try these on, walk out, show me, put them back off again and then we go buy them if they fit. And no I cannot go with you unless you want me to see you half naked.'' Darcy drawled with a wink and walking out of the room still with that smirk worn on her face.

After endless torturing hours of ''shopping'' Darcy was finally ready to go home and Loki was more than happy to oblige. He felt ill and weak and he knew it was not because of the shopping, something was wrong.

''Are you okay, Mischief? We'll be there in a couple of minutes.'' Darcy asked hesitantly looking at his skin which was paler than usual, he was almost clawing at his head as he began to sweat letting out groans of pain.

Darcy pulled into the driveway and got out, calling for Thor whom was already there opening his brother's door, he grabbed Loki's shoulder roughly and shook him.

''Loki! It's father! He needs us back there's been an attack from the Frost Giant's and someone else! There are far too many for he and our kingdom, he needs us brother!'' Thor yelled as Loki began to feel his magic come upon him, it was a relief to the pain but he was shocked by the news. How had Frost Giant's and whom ever the others were gotten into Asgard so easily?

''Yes Thor. Say goodbye to Jane before it is too late. If there is that many there who knows how long we will be gone.'' Loki murmured flickering his eyes to Darcy whom looked absolutely petrified, he heard Thor walk away speaking in hushed tones. He half turned to Darcy looking down, he could hear her sobbing quietly.

''Calm down, human. I will return safely with Thor and you can enjoy endlessly torturing me with your annoying presence'' Loki muttered rolling his eyes, though he very much doubted any of this would be safe. He widened his eyes as he felt her tug onto his new jacket and lean up pressing her lips to his forcefully, he wrapped his arm around her waist carefully and leant her against the door of the car holding her closely, it may have been the last time he would be able to.

He pulled away flicking his hand strangely onto his own palm to produce a necklace and a pendant, it was of an ''Iris'' one of the Midgardian flowers that Darcy admired so. He flicked his hand once again and it began to glow green looking as if there was water splashing inside of it, Darcy could hear the faint hum that sounded from it and wondered what it did.

''This was meant for tomorow but I fear I won't be here to celebrate it with you,'' He paused putting his hand onto her neck and conjuring a spell so the chain could not break even from the strongest of hands, he looked at the necklace now laying near her chest with a smile. ''It will keep harm from you for it is part of me, Darcy.''

Loki leaned in pressing his lips to her smooth forehead for a moment and rubbing his finger on her cheek for a few seconds before pulling away hiding his grimace from her. He did not want to leave the girl unprotected and though it was a stupid idea, he feared that the necklace may stop working.

''No! Wait, t-they don't have to go. Right Jane? You don't have to! P-please.'' Darcy screamed from behind him pulling off her beanie and shutting her eyes at Jane's helpless grimace, she wouldn't lose anyone she loved again.

''Thor and Mischief will be back soon, Darcy.'' Loki murmured shutting his eyes and walking away to where Thor stood quietly unlike him usually. As he grabbed onto his brother's arm he felt anxiety and pain build up in himself which would hopefully help him in battle, God knows how many Frost Giants were there, but he was after all one of them.

''Good luck, brother.'' Was all he said as he took them to one of the pathways he knew about to Asgard, imagining what it would be like once he got there.

Sorry for the short chapter, hope it was okay, next ones going to be a lot longer and more interesting.
