She was so eased that Thor didn't want to have a baby, that she said yes to what he asked.
Straight away.
And then she regreted.
Christmas Eve dinner...with Loki ? ...with this dangerous megalomaniac ?
But she was a fool.
No need to worry.
Since Loki has arrived, he has behaved...like a true gentleman.
Polite, charming and witty.
While hearing their entertaining anecdotes about their childhood, she knows now that it was a good idea.
Really.
Thor is beaming with joy.
Jane smiles fondly.
"You complete each other perfectly well...like the Yin and the Yang."
Thor nods.
"Odin has taught me how to fight. And mother has taught Loki how to use magic."
Jane smiles gently.
"The warrior and the sorcerer".
"Not only a wizard", Thor says proudly," Loki can write poetry, paint, draw ..."
He leans towards his brother .
"Mother always kept the drawing you made of her. Preciously."
"Did she ?", Loki asks with emotion.
Are there tears in his eyes ?
Jane changes the subject immediately, for him to get a grip on himself.
"Please Loki, tell me how you can transform yourself."
He sends her a "thank you smile".
"Easy: it's just an illusion. My body doesn't really change".
She frowns, pondering on what he said.
"Not like Bruce Banner so. Unlike you, he has a real mutation."
Thor bursts out of laugh.
"Do you remember the Hulk, brother ? He gave you a sound thrashing, didn't he ?"
Loki makes a face and Jane startles.
Has he just mumbled the word "Revenge" ?
One more time, she tries to divert attention.
"There's a man who should be beaten by the Hulk. A nasty scientist who works with me..."
"I know him, Loki says mechanically, Peter Browning."
Jane gasps.
How ?...
She catches Loki's eyes and what she reads in his face confirms what she has just understood.
Fucking bastard.
Thor, unaware of the tension, keeps on babling.
But Jane doesn't listen to him anymore.
Hiding her wrath, she asks calmly.
"Loki, please, come and help me in the kitchen to prepare the dessert."
She's going to kill this git.
