I just want you to be okay

Thor's new sister

Thor was back on Midgard to visit his brother. Well, not his brother exactly but pretty much him. He talked like his brother and acted like his brother (mostly). Thor was glad to have him, but he was so over loosing Loki repeatedly only for him to reappear.

He had been told that Loki was living far at the outskirts of New Asgard. Thor decided to walk up the final hill to the house, he was never going out of shape again. As he got to the top of the hill and came up on the side of the house he spotted Loki. Loki was outside reading with one arm hanging over the side of the couch and a blonde woman resting her head atop his chest. Thor had seen Loki with many beautiful men and women before, but never like this. This just seemed different, it just had a completely new vibe that he had never seen in his brother.

Loki then spotted him. He sort of jolted, like perhaps he had been caught. Which was also different. Maybe this Loki was more different than he had originally thought after their initial talk. The woman woke up, looking sleepy until she spotted him a moment later. She drew a dagger with a small flash of green. 'Um what?' Thor thought.

"Thor!" Loki exclaimed, "We weren't expecting any company today."

The dagger in the woman's hand vanished in another green flash. Perhaps it had only been in Thor's imagination.

"Well I wasn't sure I would be back so soon, I just decided to pop in and say hello. Who is this?" Thor inquired.

"I'm Sylvie." She replied.

Thor looked at her more closely, then turned to Loki. "Is this the woman version of you that you mentioned? I thought she would look more like you?"

"I'm sure that I mentioned that not all variants look the exact same. She is her own person." Loki said almost with an eye roll.

"We're the same but different." Sylvie added.

"That he definitely did say." Thor said to Sylvie. "Then some other things about alligators and imaginary daggers."

Sylvie turned her head towards Loki. They shared a look that had many layers of meaning, like an inside joke with more emotional depth on top. Thor had never seen Loki like this, in fact he was essentially seeing two Lokis with this new 'in love look'.

Thor had finally put the pieces together, "You two are in love, like.. properly in love."

"Head over heels, brother." Loki sighed.

"Well.. a bit of self love is good, though this seems to go beyond. I don't need a lecture, I don't need to know details on variants, I'm just happy for you two."

This was not at all what he had expected from this visit. He had come to see his variant brother, and had gotten a bonus new sister.
