"I swear I left him right here." Thor, Loki, and Sigyn stood on a street on Midgard, before a building that was being torn down. A sign read 'care home'.

"Right here on the sidewalk or right where the building's being demolished?" asked Thor, arms crossed.

"And was that before or after the building came down," added Sigyn.

"Why don't you just use your magic?" asked Thor.

"I can't 'just use my magic', it doesn't work that way. I'm not a witch."

"Well then why'd you dress like one?"

"Hey," Loki protested.

Sigyn snorted with laughter. Then she went back to pulling on the sleeves of her jacket.

"You alright? You're all fidgety?" Thor said.

"I don't like Midgardian clothes. Besides, there's no armour. Not very protective, and not very practical. And it's not just these stupid clothes that has me all uncomfortable." She nodded to the tall bundle of mischief to her left.

"Ouch," said Loki. "If it helps, they look good on you."

"Go to Hel."

He held up his hands in surrender.

Thor shook his head, arms still crossed. "I cannot believe you're alive. I cried for you, I mourned you. We both did. We were devastated."

"Unbelievable," added Sigyn under her breath.

"I'm - honoured..." He obviously didn't know what to say.

Two young women came up to them then, well to Thor. "Excuse me, can we get a picture with you?"

Thor smiled. "Of course you may." Loki rolled his eyes.

"Who are you?" one of the girls asked Sigyn.

"I am Lady Sigyn of Asgard," she replied. "Goddess of Fertility and Fidelity."

"Sigyn, isn't she like Loki's wife in the mythology?" said the girl.

At this, Sigyn's mouth fell open. "Uh, I-I don't think so-" She didn't need to turn and look to know Loki was grinning beside her.

"Yeah, she is," said the other girl. "They have kids too, sons, Vali and Nari-"

"I'm afraid you are mistaken." Sigyn could feel herself flushing madly.

The girls thanked Thor and turned to leave. Loki was still grinning.

"Oh shut up," she sneered. "Do you really think you are in any sort of position to be making jokes right now?"

"Thanks. And sorry Jane dumped you!" the girls called to Thor.

His face fell. "She didn't dump me, I dumped her - er, it was a mutual dumping..."

"Too bad," said Loki with a shake of his head, giving Thor a pat on the shoulder. "I liked her." Then he turned back to Sigyn. "So, Vali and Nari..."
