 "Dim the lights." I order, barely above a whisper, holding my arm over the bowl in front of me.

 "This will take four stages." I state "A sacrifice, the drawing of the spell, the calling of ancestors, and the spell itself."

 "What are you sacrificing?" Fury asks, reaching for his gun. He grips it when I grab Heimdall's sword, which sits beside me.

 "My vanity." I grunt as I slide the sword alone my forearm. Closing my eyes, I start to chant "I call apon the ancestors of Jotunheim! Except my sacrifice my fellow dreamwalkers! I call apon the ancestors of Jotunheim! Except my sacrifice my fellow dreamwalkers!" over and over again as my white skin is replaced with a deep royal blue and I feel the horns push from my forehead.

 Once I'm completely blue, I wrap my arms in white fabric strips and whisper "Thank you ancestors, you may sleep."

 After picking up the bowl, I walk towards the wall and start drawing the spell in my own blood. By the time I'm finished, it looks like a spade with a circle behind it at the neck. "Do not step in this until I tell you you can, understand?"

 I get nods from everyone "Even if I look like I'm in trouble, don't do anything." I sit in the middle of the spade head and start a new chant.

 "I call apon the ancestors of Asgard and Heimdall himself! Heimdall, I beg you! As the last Asgardan left! Give me your power!"

 A force pushes me back and I feel an intense burning in my eyes. A voice whispers in my ear "You can't handle it, Loki!" it's Heimdall "I could barely take it!"

 "Please Heimdall!" I scream in agony "I can't handle it! I'll make you proud!"

 "I warned you."

 My eyes burn and I scream in agony. It burns my eyes, head, heart and stomach "Heimdall, how did you live like this?"

 "Don't worry, it's almost over."

 Almost immediately, it's over and I take in my poster. My face is pressed against the floor and I'm laying like a dog, stretching. When I sit up, everyone stares at me, questionably "Thank you Heimdall." I whisper, before standing with the sword in my hand. "Thank you ancestors." I lick my lips "You may rest."

 "Loki, what's wrong with your eyes?" Scarlet asks softly.

 Frowning, I hold out my hand and wish it be a mirror. I receive a handheld mirror. My eyes! They're golden! My horn come just in front of my hairline.

 "They were red before... now they're gold!" Shuri does a little dance of excitement.

 I smirk and toss the mirror at Fury "How about we get our friends?"

 "Take that!" Shuri orders, tossing me an earpiece "We should be able to communicate with you."

 "Let's do this!" I smirk, before plunging the sword into the ground at the tip of the spade

 "What does it look like?" Shuri asks, as I land in Wakanda. It's bare. There's no grass on the hills and no leaves on the trees.

 "It's beautiful." I lie.

 "You're lying." Shuri says, sadly "Oxygen capacity is 99%" I nod and turn in a circle, looking for any sign of life.

 "Who are you?" a bald black woman points a spear up to my neck "I asked you and question! Who are you?"

 "Okoye!" Shuri screams in my earpiece and I jump "Tell her Shuri says hi!" I scuff at her childish request.

 "Shuri says hi." I say numbly. Okoye drops her spear and looks at me, before ripping the earpiece out of my ear.

 "Shuri!" she laughs hysterically "I missed you so much!... No I'm the only one still here..." after a long, boring, one-sided conversation, she turns to me "He's not looking very good..."

 Before I can process it, I'm on the ground, gripping the dirt. She lets out a call and all I can do is wait for what feels like hours. My head pounds and I hear Heimdall speak to me "The portal have been open for too long!"

 "Brother!" I hear a scream and I feel him help me up "What has happened to you?" he screams worriedly.

 I shake my head "The portal can't hold much longer. I have to get you and the racoon and the widow out." I groan and rest my head on his shoulder "The longer it's open the weaker I get."

 "Rabbit, get maiden out of here." he orders and I watch as they walk through the portal.

 "I'll be back to get the rest of you, when I'm strong enough." I state, before falling backwards into the portal.

 "Loki, we can't get out." Thor stares as he leans over me. I hold up a finger to tell him I need a minute "What happened to you anyway?"

 "He called his ancestors." The cat man says.

 Thor nods, before furrowing his brow "Bloody hell is that supposed to mean?"

 I take a deep breath before looking up at him "I had to make a sacrifice to the Jotun, so I gave them my vanity. I needed to power to travel, so I contacted Heimdall and he gave me his powers." I clear my throat "I've closed the portal, but I still have to grab the sword."

 "Come on then." he pulls me up and across the spade to the sword "Take it."

 I drop to my knee and grip the handle in my hands. "Let the barrier be closed and the import walk among us." And with that, I pull the sword from the cement.

 Power runs through me as soon as it's out of the cement, although I still feel weak. "Brother!" Thor shouts in excitement.

 I groan and lay on the ground, sword by my side "Mister Odinson, you have a text message from Zeus, black heart, blue heart, black heart." I blush "Would you like me to read it?"

 I sigh "Go ahead."

 Friday reads "They've taken their samples, I'm waiting for the results." I look at the time. 2:30pm. His appointment was at 2pm. "Would you like to send a reply?"

 "Yes." I sigh "Will you pick up a couple of pizzas on the way home, I have a feeling we won't be making dinner." I clear my throat "I have a couple of surprises."

 Almost instantly, I get a text back and Friday reads it "Dang KiKi, I thought you got enough this morning!"

 I practically scream in embarrassment, before sighing "Just don't forget the cheese sticks."

 Instantly, another text rolls in "Wouldn't dream of it." Then another text rolls in "By the way, you were right. They didn't have material to suit me."

 I groan "Stop, we'll talk about it at home. I gotta go."

 I hold out a hand to Thor and he pulls me up "Who was that, brother? Did you find a girl to suit your fancy?" he bats his eyes like he use to back when we were young and we would look for hot 'girls' on the practice field. Although, I would never fancied the girls he would point out.

 "Yes, I've met someone who cares for me." I state, brushing off the wolf fur "Well, I'm going to change and then I'll move you into my flat."

 "Don't take off the necklace." Shuri orders. The necklace was something I barely remember her putting around my neck "There's something different about your heart rate. I'm trying to calibrate the computer to track your heart rate."

 I sigh "Alright, just, don't think anything bad is happening if it spikes a bit, tonight. Okay?" I give he a thumbs up.

 She scrunches her face "I don't need to know what gay stuff you are doing tonight. Just keep the necklace on." she turns back to the computer.

 Before I can disappear into the bathroom "Brother?" I stop dead in my tracks and face Thor, who's further than I'd like "I've missed you."

 I smile "I've missed you too."
