━━━━"Breath," Loki calmed Demeter down as she woke up from a nightmare. She gasped slightly, before falling back onto Loki.

"We need to get out of this house. Something's happening tonight," Demeter muttered, rubbing her temple. Loki rubbed her own hands together, and rubbed Demeter's shoulders.

"Sharon's holding a party. I heard she lowered the price for the self-portrait of Vincent Van Gogh."

Demeter got distracted quickly. "Oh yes! I love that painting. But I don't wanna go. Something's wrong, I'll stay here. Pick up the painting tonight will you?"

"Of course," Loki answered.

"We're looking for someone named Wilfred Nagel." Sam said, dress changing into a black turtleneck instead. Lo rolled her neck around, not used to the crocodile form yet.

"Nagel is on the Vampire and Snake list-"

"Who is this Vampire and Snake list?" Tasha asked. "Do they have names?

"We don't call them by their names. They're King and Queen around here. At least when he's feeling-"

"Like a King, we know!" Sam, Bucky, Tasha, and Lo said in sync.

Sharon smiled slyly. "As wonderful as that is, stay low at my party. I have buyers, don't ruin that. Don't run into trouble. The Vampire and I are on good terms. Snake tolerates me. I'll go see what I can find."

Zemo set down a book, "Trouble?"

The party was slightly intoxicating. People danced everywhere, before they magically sobered up and kneeled at once. Some knocked down Bucky's, Tasha's, Lo's and Zemo's legs so they also kneeled. They were deeply confused.

"Queen," Sharon said, bowing slightly.

"Vincent Van Gogh. Self portrait."

Loki stood with poise and power. Her dress was more of a corset with black lacing falling from it. Her long garter tied around her thigh.

"Of course, Jaxon! Get a drink for her, I'll prepare the painting."

The man from the alcohol bar led Loki towards the drinks, and quickly mixed her favorite. And everyone knew that she would drink as long as Vampire wasn't there.

"Arise. And commence."

The crowd slowly rose, and the music resumed.

"That was Vampire?" Bucky asked sharon.

"No, that was Snake. Now hush, not safe while you're here. I'll talk to him- oh shit no, her, while she's still here. I'll see if you can talk to Nagel."

Sharon put the painting in an airtight briefcase, and walked to Loki. "I have some friends, Queen, they would like to speak to Nagel."

"You assume I would allow them?"

"No, of course not, this was a suggestion."

"Sharon, I know your games. I'm not a fool. Tomorrow, at my house, sharp at 8. Not tonight, I'll need to convince her first. Kneel!" Loki shouted. The bar again kneeled sharply. Loki walked easily away from the party.

"Arise." She said at the exit. "And commence."

The party started again.

Loki walked away, before teleporting from the building, back home. Demeter had settled comfortably in a blanket and watched an indian movie at the time. Something about killing people.
