Heimdall stared out into the vastness before him, his eyes trained on a small blue green planet where he had just watched a woman claiming to Loki's wife demand his presence. He pondered the case for several long moments before sending for Odin and Thor.

"Heimdall, my friend, what have you seen that has you calling on us?"

"I have seen something rather strange. An angry woman demanding that Loki be brought before her, she claims to be his wife."

The news seems to catch both gods off guard and they stare at Heimdall for confirmation.

"Surely you are joking, Loki has no wife."

"I tell you only what I have seen. Right now this woman is in the home of your friends on Midgard. She is demanding that Loki be brought before her."

"We will see if Loki has anything to say regarding this woman. His reaction will determine if you return alone or take him with you, my son."

Odin turns to leave with Thor following after him. When they reach the palace they make for the prison they have kept Loki in since he was brought home to Asgard after his failed attempt to take over the Earth.

"Ah, the Allfather and my dear brother. To what do I owe the pleasure?"

"Brother there is a woman on Midgard claiming to be your wife and demanding your presence."

Thor had expected many things, for Loki to sarcastically dismiss the very idea, for him to play along in order to make his escape, anything really except what he did do. Which was to scramble to his feet and press into the back of his cell, eyes wide and teeth bared.

"You can't take me to Midgard, she'll skin me alive!"

Odin seems to nod before turning to Thor. "You will leave shortly for Midgard, taking Loki with you to meet this woman."

"No! I refuse, you can not make me go there!"

"Allfather?"

"If he is this terrified of her, then she truly is his wife and she will keep him from causing trouble. The sooner you return to Midgard, the sooner this can be resolved."

"Are you not listening to me you old fool. I refuse to go, you have no idea what that woman is capable of."

"Then do tell us brother. Is she a threat to the people of Midgard so long as you are kept from her. She has not acted till now, surely she knew you had been taken long ago."

Loki keeps his mouth shut and was soon dragged from his cell, his magic bound as they hurried to the Bifrost.
