WHO AM I ??

My war

My tongue will tell the anger of my heart, or else my heart concealing it will break.

Loki and Thor started making their way back to Asgard after being convinced they could come back again with some additional knowledge at least about who or what those were. But the problem was that Loki had not created a portal to return just yet. 

"What do you mean there isn't a portal ?", Thor asked getting frustrated. 

"It means what it exactly says. I only thought about getting out of there and figured Heimdal just could swing me back up, you know?", Loki replied as calmly as he could. He knew he didn't have enough in him to create something as complicated as a portal just yet. That thought reminded him of Anderson. That moron. His thoughts went back to the party. 

*********

Loki simply snatched herself some drinks and listened to Ajax and Harry bantering. It was fun, to say the least. Clearly, Harry didn't like the formal wear Ajax was wearing. 

"Couldn't you wear something nice ?", Harry began. 

"What is with this outfit? This is made of Vicuna. And look at you. Boy, the only accessory that could save that outfit is an invisibility cloak.", Ajax shot back and that was how the show began. Loki loved every single moment of it. Remember when Loki said she hadn't visited Midgard before? Well... she lied. Of course, she came and the number of times Heimdal had to snatch her back up was infinite.  And every time she had managed to convince Heimdal that she had used the Bifrost to go down. She knew Heimdal knew better and was just playing with but it didn't stop her from irritating Heimdal with her unnecessarily long speeches. That is a story for some other time though. The point is Loki knew the clothing style of mortals. The problem was that mortals changed their fashion trends from decade to decade drastically. She just didn't want to look out of style since it's been so long since her last visit which was probably 500-600 years ago. Honestly speaking Loki didn't like both of their clothes anyway.  

"If your brain were chocolate it would hardly fill an M&M.", Harry said before walking away looking offended. 

"What is M&M?" Loki asked curiously. If there was anything Loki loved, it was witty insults. She naturally wanted to understand that part. 

"It is a chocolate.", Ajax offered uselessly. 

"I figured as much. What exactly is it ? Why is it used as an insult? " 

"It is small in size all right ?", Ajax replied bored.

"Now what exactly do we do at this party? What is this for? " Loki asked again. 

"Well.. nothing. I usually do nothing. And this is Harry's birthday party. " 

Loki looked momentarily shocked but it slipped away as fast as it came. So they had just offended the birthday boy. Ajax grabbed a few drinks of his own as Loki went quiet observing everything in utter silence. 

"What was I thinking bringing Loki here?", Ajax thought to himself. "Of course, it was as awkward as ever. Why did I assume tagging Loki along would change anything?", he whined to himself in self-pity. 

In a few minutes, Harry returned looking a hundred times happier for some reason. 

"Loki! There you are. I wanted to show you something!", He shrieked in excitement. Loki looked embarrassed as all the attention turned towards her all of a sudden. 

"Me? ", Loki asked scrunching her eyebrows almost in annoyance. Almost. 

"Yes! Come with me fast fast fast. ", he replied still head over heels. "What in Odin's name did this guy have to show to a stranger he just met? ", Loki thought to herself in disbelief.
