Twisted in Ties (Loki x OC)

Chapter 39

Izetta's POV

Another year passed like nothing at all. This time it had been a bit more than a year. Loki and I had gone out again a few months ago to celebrate our anniversary. It was just as wonderful as last time. He'd given me a new dress for my 1001rst birthday, so it had been the perfect time to wear it. He'd also gone to Earth and gotten me more materials for my artwork. I had been so thankful for it. If only I had known I was going to be bringing them home sooner than I'd expected.

It was a regular day. I was spending time with Loki. We were outside of the city in my tree. I was having fun drawing as he told me stories of his childhood. He made me mess up a bunch of times by making me laugh, but I honestly didn't care. Seeing him smile and laugh as he sat beside me was more than anything I could ever ask for. He had given me what I never knew I needed and I would never stop loving him for that. Even if I wanted to, I couldn't stop loving him. I had been pulled in so deep that nothing could replace him anymore.

It was a beautiful day. We had nothing to do. All we wanted was to be with each other. Nothing else mattered. We didn't want anything else to matter. Then, I heard Heimdall in my head. I was surprised by what he said. It made me nervous and it made me realize that we had to get back. Those words were the ones that I wish hadn't happened that day. Though, if it hadn't been then, I didn't really think I ever would've been ready for him to say it.

"Izetta, Thor has returned! He wishes to see you again at the Bridge." I paused. Loki noticed my immediate shift in mood. He frowned a little.

"Izetta?" I looked over at him. "What is it?"

"Thor's here."

We both hurried away. Loki turned back into Odin and went to the throne as I headed to the bridge. I was happy to see Thor, but I was also hoping he was just there to visit. I knew it was selfish, but I was afraid of our special secret being found out. I wanted to stay with Loki being the way we were forever. Though, that day needed to happen to us, even if I didn't want it to.

"Izetta! My friend! It's so good to see you again!" I smiled and hugged him.

"Thor! I missed you!" It wasn't a lie, which was a good thing. He was still my friend. Honestly, as I saw him again, I started realizing just how much I really had missed him.

I walked with him as we headed to the palace. He told me of the things he'd been doing and how Stark Tower had become the Avenger's Tower. I pretended that this was news to me. However, I was still happy to hear about all of it. I almost forgot that I had planned to ask why he was back.

"It sounds like you've been having a lot of adventures without me, Thor," I teased as we walked into the throne room together.

"Well, yes. I have, actually. And that is what I came here for." He said as we approached Odin. Well...what Thor thought was Odin. I grew a little nervous as we approached Loki in his disguise. I was going to cover for him as much as I could. Thor turned to him. "Father! It is good to see you again!" I bit my lip. I don't know how Loki keeps a straight face sometimes.

"I can same the same to you, my son." Oh sweet Jesus I'm going to break before he does.

"Father, as much as I would love to stay longer, I'm afraid I cannot. I have come here for one reason alone." I looked over at Thor, wondering where he was going with this. "Izetta's comrades on Earth have requested that I come to bring her home. We all believe that she has been away long enough. I'm certain your training has come a long way, my friend, and I also believe it's time that you join the Avengers once more." I was shocked. I didn't even know what to say or how to react. He'd kind of sprung this on me out of nowhere. I hadn't been ready for him to say that.
