A Warm Hart Has A Cold Revival (sequel to A Cold God Found His Warm Hart)

Chapter 7:Stuck

"How can you revive her? She's brain dead" he asked with no hope in his voice
"There are very powerful beings on the planet Jupiter who say they can help. But I need you to come with me to retrieve something they desire"
"What do they want?"  He asked with new interest in his voice. He leaned his shoulder against the doorframe
"A book"
"A book? Why do you need my help getting a book?"
"Because it's on Midguard. And you're the only one around here who knows about their ways and customs"
"No" he said very bluntly
"No?"  I questioned, taken back by his defiance
"I'm not going back into the Bifrost" he stated.
I swallowed and looked away
"Please. It's for your sister" I begged. I looked into his eyes again and the ice crystals melted to pools.
"Loki-" he began. He growled in frustration and punched the wall, causing a hole and his knuckles to bleed.
"I'll-I'll fix that" he stuttered. I shook my head, dismissing it. I could care less about a stupid wall right now.
"Fine. I've got nothing to loose anyways. When do we leave?" He asked, defeated
"Soon. I need to return to my room to gather Midguardian apparel. Do you have old clothing you want to wear or do you need some?" I asked urgently.
"I've got some"
"Alright. Meet at the Bifrost at noon"
He nodded "okay" was all he said before shutting the door. I blew out a breath of relief and quickly walked to my room
"Loki, you seem excited. Are you alright?" Aceleve asked. This is the first I've heard from her in two days
"My love, you speak. Are you alright?" I asked.
"I'm fine. Where are you going?" She asked.
"I've found a way to wake you" I told her excitedly. She was silent for several seconds. I stopped from digging out the white button down shirt from the black bag Aceleve brought with her the last time she successfully went to Midguard.
"Aceleve, I thought you would be happy"
"I am. I'm just surprised"
"As am I. I will be gone for a while my love but remember we will always be together" I reassured her. Without even seeing her I know she's smiling when trying to hide it. She always did that, every time I spoke sweetly to her she would try to hide her smile and adorably red cheeks. I pulled the shirt around my shoulders and straightened it around my chest and stomach.
"You'll have to tell me everything as it happens" she asked.
"Of course, you'll be right there during the adventure with me" I continued to mess with the troublesome buttons
"I don't understand how people wear these shirts every day" i told her in a attempt to cheer her up, she always found it funny when I struggle with Midguardian ways. I tucked the shirt into uncomfortable pants Aceleve called slacks, or trousers in the way she showed me and rolled the sleeves to my elbows. I grabbed the black bag that held extra clothing and walked out of my room and towards the Bifrost.
"Brother, why do you dress so strangely?" Thor asked, stopping me in the hall.
"Because I'm going to Midguard, excuse me" I said roughly as I attempted to push past him.
"Wait, why are you going to earth?" He asked, putting a hand on my chest with suspicion in his voice
"Classified business" I said through clenched teeth. Thor stared challengingly into my eyes in a attempt to force the information he wants out of me, I will not break. He has no reason to know of my business.
"Very well" he said reluctantly.
I nodded and harshly walked past him, I could feel his icy glare on my back but I refuse to look behind, it distracts from the now.
I pulled the strap around my shoulder to make carrying the duffel easier and continued to walk to the Bifrost. My long legs carried me quickly across the rainbow bridge and without slowing I walked towards Roy who was waiting for me.
"Are you ready?" I asked. He nodded and readjusted his backpack on his shoulders. I turned to Heimdall
"To Midguard, please" I asked politely.  He silently nodded and pushed his grand sword into the Bifrost. Silently Roy followed me as we transported to his old home, his eyes glazed over with no emotion. We braced ourself for the harsh landing and I had to blink a few times to gather myself.
"Where are we?" I asked, looking around the flourished ground.
"If I could guess, a rainforest" he said dryly. I pursed my lips as I looked around the green land. Trees were everywhere with strands of ivy and other plants crawling up around the bark. The ground we were standing on was soft with grass and moss and the forest was alive with loud noises.
"Do you know the way out?" I asked, glancing to the kid.
"No" he said flatly. I sighed and scratched the back of my neck
"Well, I suggest we get walking then" I mumbled. Roy didn't reply and simply shoved his hands in his pockets.

We walked for hours, everything looks the same and Roy wasn't the most sociable traveling companion.
"Wait a second" he commanded glancing out of the corner of his eye to me
"Aren't you able to teleport?" He asked accusingly
"No" I said with a sigh
"I can only transport myself"
"You've taken Aceleve with you" he declared, turning to completely face me.
"She did that herself" I clarified. Roy groaned in exhaustion.
"There has got to be some way to know which direction we're going"
"Afraid not" I mumbled, continuing in the direction we were going.
"Can't Heimdall pick us back up and take us out of here?" He asked, following close beside me
"No. In order for him to pick us up the area has to be clear of everything"
Roy didn't reply but shook his head in frustration.
"Wait a second" he commanded. I stopped and turned to him who was looking up the base of a large tree
"What?" I asked. Roy didn't reply but reached up and grabbed a tree branch and braced himself against the trunk. I watched as he climbed up the mossy oak and disappear into the vines.
"Do you see anything" I called.
"We're so fucked"
