_______________________________

It had been three years since Loki Laufeyson had taken Odin Allfather's throne. No one, not even the famed Warriors Three, had noticed anything odd was happening.

Thor had recently returned from Midgard, and while the majority of Asgard rejoiced in their great warrior's return, Loki became vaguely worried.

Thor had spent the majority of Loki's unnoticed reign on Midgard, with his Avenger friends. He hadn't really interacted with his adoptive brother during his time masquerading as Odin, which he didn't mind one bit. That being said, Thor had always been close to Odin. If anyone were to notice that something was off, it would be Thor.

It was because of this that Loki decided to take a short trip to Midgard, just until Thor left. Then he would return to Asgard to rule as Odin.

Midgard was not the ideal place to (much as Loki hated to admit it) hide from Thor, but he had had, ah, unfortunate experiences with Thanos, ruler of the majority of the remaining Realms.

And so Loki found himself in Midgard in a city called Grand Itch (Greenwich) or some other confusing Midgardian name.

He hadn't the slightest idea where to go, but the first thing he did was change the appearance of his clothes so as to blend in with the other Midgardians.

He wandered aimlessly down the streets. The last time he had been on Midgard, it was to try and take over the planet, which hadn't ended spectacularly for him. He had been thwarted by the Avengers and that irrational brother of his.

But Thor was on Asgard now and supposedly the rest of the Avengers had recently had a civil war amongst themselves. Loki had even heard that the majority of the Avengers were in fact fugitives at this very moment.

So he wandered the streets, wondering where he would stay and wondering if it was worth it to hide from Thor on Midgard, of all places. He was beginning to think he should just return to Asgard and take his chances that Thor might recognize him.

Then he saw her. If he recalled correctly, that was the assistant of Thor's girlfriend. She could be a useful guide on Midgard. After all, the girl had seemed unfazed by his brother when he came to Midgard.

Loki approached her stealthily, slipping through the crowd without being noticed by the girl until he was directly beside her.

"Hello," he said quietly. She jumped a little and turned to face him.

"You're Thor's brother, aren't you?" she asked. Loki ignored the flare of anger he felt at being referred to as 'Thor's brother.'

"That's right," he muttered.

"You're Loki. Aren't you the one that tried to take over the planet a few years ago?"

"Yes," he said quietly. "But it wasn't my idea."

"So like, someone forced you to or something?"

"Yes. They tortured me, in fact."

"Oh my gosh," she said. "But why exactly are you talking to me right now?"

"I need your help."

"With what?"

He sighed. "I need help finding my way around Midgard."

"Midgard?"

He sighed again. "Your planet. Earth."

"Oh. Okay."
