Natasha's POV
Neither of the two Asgardians had given her any information. She had assumed that she would be unable to get anything out of Loki, he wasn't the sort of man to fall for the same trick twice. But the other boy – Jack – had surprised her. Though he probably wasn't any good at avoiding interrogation, it seemed he was simply refusing to talk to his father.
Even if neither of the Asgardians had spoken to her she had managed to get some information, just nothing very useful. Loki had called his son 'Jokul' which admittedly made a lot more sense than Jack if he was an Asgardian, but if so then why had the boy seen fit to lie about something as simple as his name whilst handing them the information about who his father was. Jack had also been ignoring Loki. What this meant Natasha couldn't be certain but usually when family members ignored each other it was because of an argument. So what had Loki done to make his son mad at him?
Natasha sighed. Over thinking things was unlikely to help so she headed up to one of the surveillance rooms and began to play the tapes. The first thing she noticed was that Jack was now talking happily to his father. She turned up the sound. What were they talking about?
"So then I threw a snowball at his face!" Jack exclaimed
Loki laughed at that and Natasha frowned, she had never seen Loki take pleasure in anything.
"Oh you didn't. Even Thor wouldn't be crazy enough to fight off the Nightmare King with snowballs."
"It worked!" The man's son said defensively.
Natasha sat there thinking quickly. Who was this Nightmare King? Were they a threat? From their name they certainly seemed to be but Natasha couldn't be certain, if the man had fought Jack they were likely to be against Loki as well, did this make the Nightmare King an ally?
She shook her head to clear her thoughts and started typing on the computer, she needed to find out why Loki was suddenly on good terms with his son. Had they been waiting for her to leave so they could talk in private?
The image she pulled up was of Loki doing exactly what he had been doing while she had been standing there. Natasha fast-forwarded the video till she saw Loki lean forwards. She hit play and turned the volume up to full.
Loki leant forward saying something to Jack. Natasha cursed, so much for the best surveillance in the world, it was being beaten just by Loki lowering his voice.
Whatever Loki had told Jack it was a good enough explanation. As soon as Loki had finished Jack pulled him into a hug. To Natasha's surprise Loki returned it.
Natasha sat back in her seat. She needed to think. There was definitely something more than SHIELD knew about that was going on here.
