As promised a second update

(yes it is still Christmas for me, though boxing day starts in 15 minutes . . .)

Anyway this chapter sees some Loki action

Though its not really action...

well you get Loki this chapter

Oh yeah, someone asked who Jack's mother was

the simple answer is I have no idea

I don't actually plan this story ahead and I am just writing when I feel like it

I never actually thought about the fact that Jack needs a mother, though it is kind of stupid I didn't realise it earlier . . .

So to make things simpler I decided this:

Loki created Jack through magic, much like he did with Hel, basically Jack only has 1 parent

Though if any of you have any better ideas then please let me know, I am likely to incorporate them if you do. :D

so without further ado

Chapter 15

Loki's POV

Loki sighed. Thor was truly an idiot. How exactly Thor expected Loki to be able to find him Loki had no idea. Ah well, he would get to that later. For now Loki had a more important mission. Find out just who had kidnapped his son and beat them up. He might even kill them. Loki wasn't really sure yet. What would happen was likely to depend on the mood he was in when he actually found the kidnappers.

For now though he would have to content himself with tracking down where Mother Nature was at this time of year. If he was correct then Loki knew that Mother Nature would likely be in her sanctuary, so that was where he headed.

Like had only been in the seasonal sanctuary once, about three hundred years ago when he had first brought Jokul to earth. The visit had at first been accidental, Loki had been trying to catch up with his son who had suddenly shot off flying in a random direction. Oh the benefits of being the only family member who couldn't fly.

Loki teleported directly into the middle of the sanctuary where he was promptly attacked by two summer spirits, five autumn spirits and a spring spirit. He raised a barrier and was just about to blast his attackers unconscious when –

"Stop this immediately!" Ah, he had been correct, Mother Nature was still here.

Loki watched as the spirits turned confused. "But Mother, he is an intruder." The spring spirit said.

Mother Nature sighed. "That he may be, but Loki has good reason to be intruding under these circumstances."

Loki nodded. "Indeed I do. Mother Nature, I have come to ask if you know what has happened to my son."

Mother Nature shook her head. "I do not Loki. I was hoping that you, with the help of Heimdallr, might know of his whereabouts."

Loki sighed. "We do not know. Shortly before the Rage of Winter began he disappeared from Heimdallr's eyes. That is the only reason I am even allowed on Midgard now."

Mother Nature frowned. "But you often visit earth. What has changed Loki?"

Ah. Loki often forgot that the seasonal spirits tended to ignore what happened to humans. He smiled. "It is nothing. I have simply not returned here much of late, that is all." He sighed. "You truly do not have any information upon whereabouts of Jokul?"

Mother Nature smiled sadly. "No Loki. The only thing I can tell you is that whatever happened to injure him would have happened at the centre of the storm. There is no guarantee that is where he is now, but it is a good place to start."

Loki nodded his thanks as he turned to leave. He repressed the urge to swear. If Jokul had vanished in New York then that meant he would have to wait for Thor to find something and that was not something he wanted to do. No. He decided, he was not going to wait for that idiot to find something, he would go and search for himself.

As he left he heard one of the spirits, a summer one he thought, asking Mother Nature who he was. Loki allowed himself a small smile, he doubted the woman would tell the spirit and it was hard for him to supress a chuckle at the spirit's expense.
