Adopting out of Blue

Chapter 1 - Second me?

I walked a little longer on the unusual route when I was on my way home. My intention was to enjoy the sunny day, even when it already was mid-November.

Deep in my thoughts, I accidentally knocked off a young boy selling newspapers.

, Oh, excuse me!" I exclaimed as the Boy shook his Head. , It's okay." He said as I read the Headlines of the newspaper. "New York in Ash and Dust", What on Earth happened?" I asked the boy. , Oh, I don't know much about the news. But do you want to buy one of my newspaper?" The boy answered. , Here, oh and keep the rest. As an apology." I said and waved.

Arriving at home, I got greeted by Bobby. , Hey Buddy." Lovingly, I rubbed his head. His tail wagged rather calmly. I liked this at Bobby, he didn't bark at me, when I came home. Sometimes, I think he's just like myself. He followed me into the kitchen, where I packed out all of my groceries. Accidentally, I let a can fall down onto the floor. , Ah...Shit.." I whisper to myself and Bobby barked in response.

, I know", I said to Bobby while picking him up. , We don't curse because it's rude." I sat him on to my lap and turned on the TV, where to my surprise the news from New York came on.

, The Norse God of Mischief Loki attacked New York with an army of unknown creatures. Motive, unknown. After the Avengers defeated Loki, half of New York lays in wreckage..." I stopped at the picture of Loki. I did not at all know, he existed. But now that I see him, he looks just like me. I wondered if he also is like the Loki in the movies I acted in.

I grabbed the newspaper and read further about the article. It says, his intention was to take over New York and then the rest of the World. Just as I had read the article, I felt suddenly sorry for Loki. I know, that he has done horrible things, such as try and destroy Jotunheim or help the dark Elves destroy Asgard and if that's true...I don't know. But deep inside, he's misunderstood. I just know that. In the article, there is also written, that he's being held in the Bergen County Jail, New Jersey.

I held my head in hands for a moment. Then Bobby patted my hands with his paws, so I would look at him. ,,Oh, what do you think, Bobby?" But he only would bark at me. , This is madness..." I'd whisper to myself, before going out again, taking this time Bobby with me to the library.
