Blind Success {Book 1 - Blinded Trilogy}

25 - Laufeyson Family Reunion

"I'm gonna need therapy." Johnny Storm, Fantastic 4.

Okay people, please take into consideration that I'm not that unhappy to see Lillian... Um... Should I rephrase that? No? Anyway, I account it to stress. Rex was being a pain in the royal backside and I was taking it all out on Lillian. Maybe I should take it out on Loki - her Loki, not my brother, he's nice and doesn't deserve it - he needs an attitudinal readjustment.

I noticed that Lillian quirked an eyebrow. She looked a little irritated. I don't blame her. "Well it's lovely to see you too Andrea. I've been fine thanks, in case you were wondering. Lovely day to take a merry walk in the park in a fucking realm I don't belong in. How have you been?" I watch as her two companions give her side glances.

I groan and rub a hand down my face as Lillian speaks, feeling irritated myself. As if enough hadn't gone wrong already. I feel Rex trying to pull out of the hold that I have on his collar, whining at not being able to go and run about. "I'd say that I deserved that. I'm sorry. I've had enough on my plate as it is." Rex successfully manages to worm his way out of my hold and runs off, yapping playfully, however I wasn't in a playful mood. Like at all. I race after him. "Rex! Stop you fucking stupid mutt!"

Out of nowhere an ice wall surrounds Rex, making it seem that the only way out is back towards me. "I think you just need to let it go Andrea." I could hear the grin in her voice, but that really wasn't helping. I felt like hacking into something with my katanas, which I didn't even have on my person, making my mood more sour.

I turn and look at Lillian with a glare. "I may have been blind but I definitely ain't now. I mean you're one to say 'let something go' when in fact your Daddy Dearest is a psychopath." I hiss, venom striking every word. Out of the corner of my eyes, I notice both Loki's watching the exchange and that my Loki's eyes were as wide as saucers as he looked on. Wonder what his problem is...

"Andrea." I turn to face him and I see the other Loki starting to smirk. I didn't miss the conversation going on between Lillian and her two lapdogs either.

"Lilly, she didn't mean it, she's just-" The female started only to be cut off by Lillian. Tables have turned, oh how I love to rub people up the wrong way... I've heard of the Infinity Stones that they were talking about. Haven't seen them before, but I have heard of. I pushed that piece of information to the back of my brain when Lillian's fury was aimed directly at me. "Look I'm sorry if you're not having the best day of your life, but I was just playing around to lighten the mood. You know about that right? Having a light hearted mood? Well, at least you do know about having family problems. Where were your parents again?"

I turn to look back at Lillian. "My mother is dead. She gave her life to protect me when I was only seconds old! Don't even get my started on that conceited asshole that considers himself my father. He is nothing of any worth to me after having tried to sell me off like some sort of prized meat at an auction. Try having that for a father. The only family member I have worth actually considering family is Loki."

Lillian snorts, her lips curling slightly. Well just great. Just what I don't need- Did she just roll her eyes at me?! The last person who rolled their eyes at me ended up in a body cast. Believe it or not that was Natasha. That was a fun day. Tony recorded the whole fight, only for me to hack into his phone - with help from JARVIS to who I am eternally grateful - and deleted the video. "Don't lecture me about daddy issues. My daddy issues are worse than Sam and Dean Winchester but at least you had a mother, one who was there for you the moment you left the womb. Do you know what I'm doing here, Andrea?"

The guy standing beside her stiffens ever so slightly, if I had blinked I would have missed it, his hands twitched like some animal on the verge of death. I laughed inwardly at that. I'm brought back to the present when Lillian points a finger at her Loki, looking like she was seething just a tad bit. "That asshole dragged me kicking and screaming to use me for his own selfish purposes. I'm a weapon in his eyes, nothing more, nothing less. So once again, you may be having a bad day, but don't fucking take it out on me."
