Loki's Child

Chapter 8: Curiosity

*HARPERS POV*

These past few days have been a bit of a roller coaster. I have been ignoring Austin and my Mum, I can't bare to talk to them and I'm still getting over what happened to my Dad, things with Loki are (very) slowly being patched up.

Loki and I had been staying at the Tower with the other Avengers and Peter. I had been spending time with Loki, we would talk about ourselves, we both like to read and pull pranks on people.

"Okay tell me about Asgard, you and Thor always go on about it," I spoke up as I leaned against the window looking out at the city below.

Loki chuckled. "It is truly a beautiful place," He began. "The forests are full of glorious coloured flowers that have sweets smells, the kingdom is full of wonderful crafts men and the palace is a something else, it is clean, cool and just beautiful."

I smiled. "Was I born in the palace?" I asked curiously.

He smiled. "Yes, you were born in the healers side of the palace," He told me. "You were tiny. Your head fitted perfectly in my hand, your hands and feet were so small, you body was light and slightly pale, you cried until you were handed to me and as soon as our eyes met, you calmed down and relaxed in my arms."

I watched Loki, the both of us had tears in our eyes.

I bit my lower lip. "W- What was Sigyn like?" I asked. I knew she was my birth Mother, I had done a lot of research and I had heard Thor compare us a lot.

Loki sighed. "Just like you," He stated quietly and smiled softly "Your Mother was a kind women, she loved those closest to her, she was one of the first people to make me feel loved and apart of something. Your Mother cared so much for you since the day the healers told her she was carrying you, she would sing to you as you grew. I look at you and I see your Mother."

I looked at my hands and sniffled. "She died giving birth to me didn't she?" I asked.

"Yes," He whispered softly as he placed his hand on top of mine. "I was destroyed, I didn't know how I was going to handle taking care of you without her but you needed me and I couldn't let you go too."

I hugged Loki tightly, I- I just didn't know. I was happy we were getting along but the things we were talking about, I wanted to know the truth but, well yeah the truth hurts.

"I'm sorry," I whispered and pulled away.

Loki frowned. "Why are you sorry?" He asked.

"For not hearing you out, for judging you too quickly and for not trying to remember my past with you," I told him.

*BEEP**BEEP*
My watch went off.

I sighed. "I gotta go training with Peter," I mumbled. "I'll erm see you later?"

Loki smiled. "Yes I believe it's pasta night?" He asked.

I nodded. "Yeah, me and Clint are going to make my favourite dish!" I told him in excitement. "Well I gotta go, I'll see you tonight."

I was about to go to the door but something stopped me... My heart stopped me and I turned and gave Loki a hug, he wrapped his arms around me and kissed the top of my head.

"Be careful," Loki told me as we pulled away.

I rolled my eyes. "Where's the fun in that?" I asked and skipped out the door.

I walked down the corridor and met Peter near the training room; He didn't look too happy?

"What's up with your fisog?" I asked and walked past him.

Peter frowned. "What's a fisog?" He asked.

"It's a random name for Face," I explained. "So why do you look like someone stole your candy?"

He sighed. "I'm just worried about you, I don't like Loki and I'm just worried he'll hurt you," He told me.

I shook my head. "Listen I don't fully trust him yet but he seems alright, we've only been talking about Asgard and my birth Mother," I explained. "I know what I'm doing!"

"Please just watch your back," He told me.

I smiled and kissed his cheek. "Just for you Spidey," I told him and went into the training room.

I'm such a lucky girl, having Spider Man watching my back!
