"Kali, here." Sif began as she placed a large bowl filled with cold water on her sister's dresser. Kaleria, knowing was the water was for, placed her very warm hands into the water. The water hissed and bubbled and was soon room temperature. "I'm sorry that happened that should not have happened."

"It's fine." Kaleria replied with a slightly smug tone.

"What did Loki say to you?" Sif asked.

"Nothing." Kaleria sighed. "I just lost control for a moment."

"It happens."

"No, it doesn't happen!" Kaleria snapped. "Not to you. You don't understand what it's like to be this way!" The water began to boil as her hands began to heat up once more.

"Kali, you have to calm down." Sif said taking notice.

Kaleria took her hands out of the water. "I am calm!" She roared. "I'm tired of feeling second rate." Kaleria quickly stopped, realizing maybe Loki was right. Maybe she did feel second rate to Sif?

Feeling completely helpless, Kaleria's heart rate began to rise, and soon her hands were engulfed in flames. Eyes wide, Sif grabbed the bowl of water and quickly dumped it on her sister's hands. The fire went out and her hands sizzled for a moment. Sif looked to her sister sympathetically. She knew this wouldn't be easy. Sif's attention switched back to her sister's hands.

"Don't…" Kaleria said quieter. "I'm still warm…"

"Kali, you're not second rate." Sif began. "You are my sister, you are my equal. We can fix this; you are here to learn and to find peace. I will help you know peace."

Kaleria felt her body cooling as she turned away from her sister. The thought of peace was intoxicating; to be in control was a dream. Could she truly achieve it? "I'm tired sister."

Sif nodded. "You should rest, we begin our training tomorrow."

Kaleria replied with a simple 'Hm' and Sif left the room, reluctantly leaving her sister alone.


Kaleria had a bit of a mischievous side to her. An hour after to sister had retired to her own room, Kaleria decided to explore a little. Kaleria quietly left her room and headed towards where she believed the library was. One thing that always calmed her down after any stressful event was reading, and the library was just big enough for her to get lost in.

Kaleria found the large double doors leading to the library, sighing with relief she entered the library as quietly as possible. Walking inside, she felt at peace with the emptiness and the silence of the entire library. It was as if the library was hers and hers alone tonight.

Her steps echoed through the library as she slowly made her way the nearest aisle. "Asgardian history…" She said to no one. "Where would I be if I were history?"

"Two aisles over, I recommend starting with the forming of the realms and working your way up." A voice came from behind Kaleria, startling her. She quickly turned to the bookshelf behind her, no one was there.

"Hello?" She said cautiously as she walked closer to the shelf. She could see movement from the other side of the shelf. Kaleria grabbed the book closest to her, removing it to see straight through to the other side… and seeing blue eyes staring back at her.

Her eyes narrowed as he spoke. "Hello again."

"You." She said accusingly as she returned the book. A chuckle could be heard from the other side as she walked with a quickened pace down the aisle only to be greeted at the end by a grinning Loki. "Why are you here?"

"Reading, that is what people do in a library." He was snarky, and that made Kaleria's blood boil. "But enough about me, how are you feeling?"

Kaleria's brow began to hurt with how hard she was glaring. "Don't talk to me." She pushed passed him and towards the history aisle.

"What have I done to you?" Loki followed.

"You were very aggressive earlier." She replied.

Loki quickened his pace to keep up with Kaleria. "How do you figure?"

"You kept pushing when I was uncomfortable about…" Kaleria stopped walking to glare at him. She lowered her voice. "You know."

"I was curious about your gifts." Loki admitted, staring down into her green eyes. "You cannot blame me for your lack of control."

"It's not my fault." Kaleria growled, avoiding eye contact.

"Ever think your lack of control comes from denial?"

"You are infuriating!" Kaleria huffed. "I came here for peace and quiet and I find you! I don't even know you and you've been nothing but trouble."

"Well, I take that as a compliment." Loki grinned.

"Just point me in the direction of the history section and leave."

"You cannot kick me out of the library, it is public access." Loki tested her to her limits.

"Fine." Kaleria huffed, turning away from Loki and walking away. "I can find it on my own."

"I can help you." He called after her.

"I don't need your help to find my way, I can do it."

"I meant with controlling your gifts." Kaleria stopped in her tracks, turning to face Loki. He was smirking; a smug expression on his face as he watched her. He knew he had her, he knew he was getting to her.

"You really are insufferable." She gritted her teeth; she could feel her body temperature rise.

"By the looks of it, you truly could use my help." Loki added.

"You need to stop." She warned.

"I'm only trying to help you." He shrugged.

"Well, you're not!" She was panicking now, and he could sense that. He could send her over the edge if we wanted to. He was curious, he wanted to see her gifts at full force; unaware of how dangerous they truly were. "Not now…" Kaleria muttered as she clasped her hands tightly.

Loki began to walk closer. "Let me help you."

"No, stay back!" Kaleria said, her hands burning.

Loki halted. "You're panicking and that doesn't seem to be helping."

Kaleria scoffed. "I'm well aware of that, thank you." With that, her hands burst into flames.

Loki stared wide eyed, a slight smirk still playing on his lips. "So you have the gift of fire, and from what I can tell, it excels with your emotions." Kaleria was breathing hard, holding her hands out away from her body. The fire danced wildly, an uncontrolled flame. She was ashamed of herself for letting Loki get to her like this, for letting herself be known. "Tell me about the Bifrost."

Kaleria's eyes snapped open; she looked at Loki with confusion. "What?" She was still in a panic.

"Tell me about your journey here, through the Bifrost; first time?" He was distracting her.

Kaleria closed her eyes, trying to concentrate on the Bifrost. "Yes."

"What did you think?" Loki continued calmly.

"It was…strange." Kaleria's breathing was rough.

"Tell me how."

She held her breath. "The lights were…" She exhaled. "Bright." The flames surrounding her hands began to reduce in size. "It was quick."

"The arrival is always the part that makes you woozy." Loki joked, chuckling. Kaleria choked out a quick laugh with him. "The first time I used the Bifrost; I tripped and landed directly into a bush." Kaleria let out another small laugh, her breathing regulating as the flames soon diminished completely. She opened her eyes to look at her hands; disbelief washing over her. She looked to Loki, he was grinning with achievement. "See? I can help."

Kaleria took another deep breath. "This does not mean I forgive you for before."

"You should." Loki smirked. "I kept you from burning down the library."

Kaleria shut her eyes tightly, inhaling and exhaling before speaking. "I think I'm done here for today." Kaleria brushed passed Loki, heading for the door.

"You should rest, you have training tomorrow." Loki commented, causing Kaleria to stop in her tracks.

"How do you know that?" She asked, turning around to face him. Loki did not turn to face her, but the smirk was evident in his voice.

"I'm training with you, of course."

With a huff, Kaleria turned on her heel and stormed from the Library, the sound of a deep chuckle haunting her as she made her way to her room.
