Katerina entered Walmart she couldn't help but feel as if she forgot something...something important.
"Are you alright?" Loki asked.
"Yeah...I just can't shake the feeling that I forgot something really, really, REALLY important," she replied trying to think of exactly what that something was.
As she continued to walk further into the store she couldn't shake that feeling. She went into the produce section to get some more fruit in the house as her brother would irritate her until she got it for him anyway.
"Katerina?" Loki asked.
"Yes Loki?" she replied not looking up.
"Please tell me there are many blond overly muscular men in your world...." he muttered his facial tick seeping into his voice.
"Yeah," she said not really paying attention.
"Are you sure?" he asked again seeing yet another man that looked like his brother.
"Positive Loki," she said rolling her eyes, "now calm down before you shift in front of everyone and I have to think up another, rather crappy lie, to get us out of it."
Loki sighed, "Will you at least take a look?"
"At?"
"Oh holy-" Katerina's eyes grew wide at the realization that the thing that was nagging her was that it was unofficial Thor cosplay day.
"What is he doing here?" Loki hissed recognizing her look of shock.
"It's not actually him, they're all cosplayers," she replied groaning. This was going to be a very LOOOOONNNNGGG trip.
"These are the cosplayers of which you spoke?" he asked nodding to one that had their back turned to the pair.
"Some of them, there are a lot of cosplayers but let's get your clothes before someone gets suspicious and starts asking questions or worse-" before she could even finish it happened.
"TOM HIDDLES!" a nearby girl shrieked gleefully.
Almost like something out of a zombie movie the fangirls lept toward him, Katerina barely had time to react before they tackled him.
Loki had never been a fan of crowds but this really did it, before he could really think he shifted to his frost giant form and shouted, "KNEEL!"
Surprisingly they did, allowing him to get up and dust himself off.
"Who knew that would come in handy?" Katerina whispered looking at the kneeling fangirl hoard.
"And you doubted me," he chuckled.
"KATERINA'S BETRAYED US!!!!!" One of the girls shrieked.
"Chill Kelly! If I remember correctly yesterday you were convinced he was a nut job."
"I-i did not!" she squeaked noticing the death glares from everyone else.
"Here is my decree!" Loki said in a commanding voice, "Let us shop in peace, and for Odin's sake quit groveling!"
The fans nodded parting like the red sea to let them through. Once they were out of earshot Katerina let out a sigh of relief.
"That was the single most freaky thing I've ever had to go through," she muttered shuddering.
"I concur," he said nodding in agreement.
"Let's get your clothes and go," she muttered.
Loki nodded and followed behind her silently, fifteen minutes later they'd finished their shopping.
"Time to go home," she said starting the car. Which promptly died. "FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!"
