Collide

Eleven

She was still sat by her window, lost in her thoughts about what had happened in Asgard, that she didn't hear him enter the apartment. It was only when he sat in front of her, did she focus on her surroundings, and him.

'Hey. I did try calling, but are you ok?..'.. He reached out, taking her hand in his.

'I'm still processing it all. I'm not sure what to think..'.. Astrid moved across to him, settling in his lap... 'Been lied to my whole life about who and what I am. I don't even know my real name..'

'Do you regret doing what you did?..'.. He asked, as one hand stroked her back, and the other rested on her hip.

'No. They both deserve death. After what they did to me, and to Loki, I'd rather they suffered an eternity of pain first, but she's dead and he is slowly dying..'.. She quirked a smile, just thinking about it.

'And Thor?..'.. She looked at him, cupping his face.

'Do you want me to stop?..'.. She frowned at him.

'If you did, you wouldn't be the woman I fell in love with, would you?..'.. He smiled at her, his eyes flicking to her lips as his hand from her back, slid up into her hair, pulling her closer... 'Besides, revenge looks hot on you..'

Astrid crashed her lips to his, shifting on his lap as she straddled him. Her fingers wove into his hair, tugging on it, making him moan into her mouth. She felt his hands grip her ass tightly, grinding her into him. Pulling back, she panted, grinning at him... 'You know how to turn a girl on, don't you..'

He nipped her lip... 'You bring it out in me..'.. He brushed her hair from her face... 'You heard from the school? Or Logan?..'

Astrid sighed, sitting back more on his lap... 'Yeah, Charles wants me to go back for a few days. I said I would, but I won't be going back to teaching. I need to be here, with you..'

He smiled at her, and she could see only love in his eyes... 'I know you miss them, especially Storm. You know I'm only a call away, if you want to talk..'

'I love how you know me so well..'.. She gave him a quick kiss... 'You staying for dinner, or do you have to get back?..'

'I got to get back. I just wanted to check in on you..'.. He sighed.

'Well, I have been practicing my teleportation, I'm sure I can come to you, tonight. And then on you..'... She grinned wickedly, licked her lips at him, seeing his eyes darken with lust.

He gripped her hips, and ground her down on him... 'You know what, I'm starving right now..'.. She could see that look, and bit her lip. He pushed to stand with one hand, his other arm around her waist, holding her to him. She wrapped her legs around him, as he walked straight to her room.

------------------------------------------------------------

An hour later, satisfied and relaxed, she pulled him in for another kiss before he left to head back. Dropping back onto her broken bed, she giggled, they had gotten a little carried away, but she didn't mind.

She honestly didn't know how she got so lucky. At first she was going to use him as part of her plan, but she had fallen for the human. He never tried to dissuade her from what she wanted to do, but helped her with whatever she asked for.

Getting up off the broken bed, she conjured an outfit for the day and turned to the mangled mess. Pursing her lips, she used her powers, to make the wood grow, shaping and strengthing it to how she would like it. Bu the time she was done, she had a strong 4 poster bed in its place.

Smiling proudly, she decided to test her teleportation, for the rest of the day. Grabbing her bag, she went to her safe and got her passport, just incase. Astrid sifted through her pictures, and decided on LA, it was the city of angels, apparently. Focusing her magic, she felt the air shift and blinked, clearing her vision.

She squealed in delight, as she stood on the docks of the marina del Rey. Pulling her phone out, she quickly snapped a photo to send to him. She walked up the docks, towards the city, when her phone pinged with a reply.

~A real angel in the city of angels. Have fun, and I'll see you later. Love you x ~

Looking around, she decided to hit up the tourist spots. She had a good couple of hours before seeing him again.

------------------------------------------------------------

Loki, disguised as Odin, searched through the books, trying to figure out a way to search for her.

After Friggas death, it was clear that she had spelled the entire kingdom, altering their memories of Astrid. He was angry, at his mother, and Odin for allowing it. Because of them, he had forgotten Helga, and his memories of his sister, tainted with magic. He hated that he thought so little of her, Astrid only ever wanted to be free.

He had to find her, to know where she was. He had spoken with Heimdall, as Odin, but even the gatekeeper could not see her. Loki would not give up, not on her, not like everyone else had.

She was strong, and he was sure she had survived the banishment, he just had to figure out where Odin sent her.

Coming to the forbidden tomes, he stopped, frowning at them noticing a gap. Now that the barrier was gone, he was able to step forward. He ran his hands over them, speaking the name of each realm, until he came to the gap.

He knew the one that was missing, it was about the cursed realm, Heven. Loki never did know the true reason as to why Odin cursed the realm, banishing it, but he guessed the reason for doing so, lie within the missing tome.

Shaking his head, he pulled out a few select books, hoping to find a spell of some sort that would locate her. He didn't want to believe that she had actually died that night. That is what he and Thor were told by both Frigga and Odin.

Leaving the library with the books, he headed back to the Kings Chambers, smirking as he did. He was king of Asgard now. He didn't know what had happened to Odin, after Friggas death. He had consumed an inordinate amount of ale, muttering about 'the angel knows, the angel will come'.

He had no idea as to what that was about, but in the days that followed, it was clear that Odin was losing his grip on his mentality. Loki had spelled him, and sent him to Midgard. Well, he could have banished him to another realm that would not be so kind.

Entering the chambers, he dropped his illusion, and placed the books on the desk. Moving over to the balcony, he looked out to the bifrost, remembering her... 'I will find you sister, I promise..'
