What Should Have Been

Jotuns and Demons (Chapter 7)

***Abby's P.O.V***

Momma had passed out on the couch and had been sleeping for four hours, dad had shown up about three hours ago, and Gen had went somewhere.

After a half hour, mom woke up and saw dad. She sat straight up and said, "You're late."

"Umm...no? You just woke up. You've been sleeping since I've been here for three hours."

"Oh...." Dad sat next to her.

There was a thunderous noise coming from outside and mom got up and met aunt Gen halfway with a very sickly looking tall person. Mom took the sickly man and locked him in the industrial freezer.

"Umm...what?" Gen asked.

"If a Jotun goes too long without being exposed to the cold, they kinda go insane. Kinda like Loki did. He'll be fine in a few hours."

"I see." With that, Tony came in and took Gen and they left.

"So mom, who was that guy you put in the freezer?" I looked at mom.

"That's my dumb ass brother."

"You never told me I had an uncle."

"I was trying to make sure you has as much as a normal life before you found out about the hunting thing."

"Well maybe I wanted to about all of my family members." I was done. I got up and left the room.

***Sage's P.O.V***

I sighed and Dean rubbed my back. Ughhh.... "How long has it been since I put Loki in the freezer?"

"Twenty minutes."

I laid down on Dean, "Ughh.... I'm quitting."

He laughed. "What are you quitting at?"

"Everything." I looked at him and gave him a small smile.

"What?"

"You know what." I giggled and Dean sighed. He took his shirt off and gave it to me. "Thank you!" I breathed in slowly, reminiscing in the scent of Dean.

"But now I'm cold."

"Suck it up."

"Uh, why is Dean not wearing a shirt?" Nat asked.

"Because I stole it from him." I said.

"Well you do know that there is a frost giant in the freezer, right?"

"Yeah I put him there."

"Okay, why?"

"He's having a problem."

Okay, well I'm gonna...go." Nat left and for the next hour and a half, Dean played with my hair and we just enjoyed our time together.

I opened the freezer door. "How you doing, baby bro?"

"I'm actually cold, but I'm better now." Loki said.

I smiled at him. "That's a good thing. You're allowed to come out now."

"I was going to anyway. You're not the boss of me."

"No, but I know who is."

"Oh no, don't bring her out." Loki started to back away from me.

"Why, baby bro can't handle his big sister?

"Sage, you and I both know that didn't get us anywhere and it sure didn't get our mother anywhere either."

I clenched my fists. "Don't you ever talk about our mother ever again, you hear me?"

"What are you going to do about it, dear sister, bring out the better you? Because that sure as hell is what you are doing just like mother; threaten and then never carry out. For once, do what you say you're going to do." Loki started to walk away. I could feel 'the other me' breaking through the necklace after all these years.

I took a deep breath. "Fine. When I threaten, I'll do what I said, but just remember that the blood will be on your hands. One more thing, just so you can stop grieving about 'dear mother', I killed her."

Loki backed away just as the pieces of the necklace fell to the floor. "Sageline...."

"Good to be back, dear brother." I heard footsteps behind me. I turned around to see my daughter warily standing behind Dean.

"Momma?" She clenched onto Dean's jacket sleeve.

I walked over to Abigail and smiled sadly at her. "Look at you, my beautiful daughter, so grown up. I'm so sorry you have to see me like this."

"Sage? You're doing great." Dean put a hand on my shoulder.

I kissed him on the cheek then whispered in his ear. "I'm actually holding back from ripping your throat out; with my teeth."

I backed away and smiled at Dean.

Zoey ran into the room as I was about to walk out. "We have a problem!!!!" She then looked at me and I raised my left eyebrow. "Mom and Dad have been kidnapped!!"

She started flailing her arms around. "It's, seriously, a problem!!" Zoey held up the tablet she had. "I was playing my game and then this popped up!! We need to help them."

Bucky popped his head in. "What about my Steve? Is he in trouble?"

I walked over to Bucky and tapped him three times on the shoulder. "Calm down, buddy." Then I whispered in his ear. "Nothing can hurt you, you're the winter soldier."

I watched Bucky's eyes change from worry to a dead pan stare. I walked out of the tower knowing that Bucky was following me.

***Dean's P.O.V***

"Daddy, is mom gonna be okay?" My daughter gripped my jacket tighter.

"I don't know, baby, but we'll get her back to normal."

"Will that happen to me?"

I looked at her, confused. "What? No."

"So then what's wrong with her?"

"I don't know, Abby." But I knew exactly what was wrong with her; her demon side decided to pay us a visit.

"I'm going to take Abby home." No one really paid attention to me so I just left. "Let's go."

Abby walked out of the tower and I followed her. We got in the car and I drove home. There wasn't anything I wanted more than to know that Sage was going to be okay, but I knew that her demon side was going to put every fiber of her being in as much danger as it can.
