<(Atem POV)>

"Come on, Atem, how much longer do we have to wait here for? You know, when I said I wanted to tuck in for the night, I meant either in a nice five-star hotel, back in my room, or preferably your room, not in some rundown motel where the only customers are hookers and shady drug dealers. Hell, even Thor got to sleep better than me with Jane in Erik's trailer. I can bet a hundred bucks that they even reached third base too. But look at me, I am still a virgin despite sleeping beside the most famous and hottest guy in the country. I thought Jean said you are the god of Domination, so why aren't you dominating me? Do you want me to beg for it?" Lorna grumbled playfully after waking up from her "beauty sleep" while using her magnetic powers to rotate her favorite metal coin in her hand at almost blinding speeds, a clear sign that she was extremely frustrated even though she was trying to hide it from her face.

"Stop overreacting, Lorna. You have been sleeping for almost the entire night without any discomfort. The enchantments I made to the bed and the room made sure of that. Yeah, I could have easily teleported you to a new hotel or even your own home but that would have defeated the purpose. I don't want Thor's brother, Loki to get even the slightest bit suspicious or worse, spooked about our presence here, otherwise he might not decide to do a few stupid things that I need him to do. That's why I am avoiding using too much magic. Although I am ninety-nine percent sure that he has no idea about my identity or the current events happening on Earth, I still don't want to take any chances. After all, I don't know if Asgardian magic can keep an eye on the entire city or not." I explained before closing my eyes to focus back on trying to study the different runes from my knowledge about Harry Potter-verse magic.

I was confident that Loki wouldn't be a problem for me since I was stronger than the classic version of comic Thor where the god of thunder could destroy entire planets with a blow of his hammer and all. But I was still trying to be cautious in not changing the plot of the movie too much because I wanted Loki to send the Destroyer here just like he did in MCU.

I remember reading in one of the comics in my previous life that the Destroyer was not actually a guardian or some sort of droid, but an armor made of pure Uru and designed for war. It was an armor that could not only be controlled remotely but could also be worn during battle to increase the user's power and durability to absurd levels. The armor was so powerful that it was an immense strain on Odin to keep wearing it but whenever he did wear it, his strength skyrocketed to the likes of a well-fed Galactus, enough to slay even Celestials. That was the reason why I decided to make it so that Odin no longer had access to the armor after today. I didn't want him to use it in a fight against me if a battle between us broke out. Also, since I didn't take Thor's Mjolnir, I decided that I might as well take the armor as a consolation prize for myself since the one made from Vibranium I took from Apocalypse was almost on the brink of collapse from overuse.

"You are so cruel. It's almost like you are trying to torment me by playing hard-to-get. Sigh Anyway, it's morning already, so Loki might attack anytime now. Do we have a plan or are we going to go blind with guns blazing? Because if we are, then I have a move I really want to try out. I got the idea from you when you told me about the different ways my father used his gift. It's pretty strong and I want to see if an Asgardian god can take its full might on his face." Lorna smirked as if she could already see the effects of her attack on Loki.

"I don't care if Loki comes to Earth or not, his presence is not important to my plans. Even if he chooses to hide in Asgard, I can just open a Hush tube to his location any time. What's important is that once you see a giant walking armor, you will use your power on it upon my signal and hold it down, preferably even twisting its limbs for added safety after which I will take care of the rest. Once you are done, you can enjoy the rest of the battles if there are any, however you want. And yes, I will agree to a proper date with you after that but only if you do well." Lorna, who was just about to interrupt me, quickly shut up once she heard my condition, a big victorious smile blooming on her face.
