7- Safe The Innocent

Skyler is blinded, for only one second. Then, she looks around... all the colours of the universe, embracing her. Gods, how much she'd missed this feeling. The feeling of freedom and the loss of gravity. It feels amazing. It feels like a roller coaster that makes a fast dive, but then contrariwise. She closes her eyes, pinching herself, just to make sure this is real.

She opens them again, when she feels ground under her feet. Gold, to be exact. She's in Asgard. She's at the Bifröst. She's home. Her face showing a smile of pure excitement, she faces the guards that are standing in front of her.

"You need to come with us, Your Royal Highness. We need to escort you to the palace and the King." They say in a serious tone.

"Where is Heimdall?" Skyler asks curious.

"Lord Heimdall is with His Royal Highness, Prince Thor, Princess. Now, come with us, we should go. It's a long walk." The other guard says. Skyler smirks.

"No escort needed. I think I have a faster way than walking." She tells them mysteriously, before snapping her fingers and teleporting inside the palace, in front of the Throne Hall. 'Well, let's make a bit of fun out of this.' Skyler thinks devilishly. She rubs both of her hands against each other, like warming them up. Concentrating, Skyler feels her body transform into her Patronus. A lioness. Without a warning, she kicks the door open, revealing Odin, Heimdall, Thor, Warriors Three, Sif and Frigga. All of them look shocked and scared. Fandral and Volstagg already drew their swords. Skyler growls a little, revealing her teeth. 'Okay, now, just a joke...' she thinks, before she transforms back into herself in a cloud of green smoke. She laughs her longs out when she sees the faces of her family.

"Y-you guys...should've seen your fa-faces" She manages to say.

"Skyler, can you please be serious, for once? Stop acting like a child, for once, please." Odin demands. Immediately, Skyler's face is straight and her glare ice cold. She can hear her father gulp when he hears Odin say the words 'stop acting like a child'.

"Didn't dad tell you. I've already stopped with my childhood." She tells her grandfather darkly, looking right at him, while he doesn't looks at her.

"Okay... new Loki in the house." Fandral whispers to Sif, not knowing that Skyler hears it.

"Where is Loki, anyway?" Skyler asks Frigga.

"No words will be spoken before I tell you to." Odin tells her, the arrogance dripping of his voice. Again, Thor gulps hearable. Skyler just smirks wickedly.

"Dad really didn't told you a thing about me, did he?"

"He told us that you were safe at your school." Sif chirps, obviously shocked.

"Safe? At my school? O dear... dad, didn't knew you were the one to lie." Skyler chuckles.

"That's something for later. Now: where  is  my uncle?" She asks again, emphasising the question.

"He's not your uncle! Not anymore. He's a monster!" Odin exclaims, looking down at Skyler, who starts to laugh.

"Ha! Do you really think I give a damn about the fact that he's from Jotunheim? And, he's not a monster, he's a victim." The fact that she already knows, shocks the hell out of the others.

"You knew? How long?" Fandral asks.

"If I knew! I was the one who found out! I tested Loki's DNA after the Battle Of New York."

"You were there?" Frigga gasps.

"I was there. I fought, I killed, I saved. Easy as it is. Now, nobody answered my question. Where in the name of Merlin is Loki?!" Skyler roars, as she can feel the lightening on her fingers, thus she clenches them to fists.

"The traitor Loki, will be executed this evening by sundown." Odin simply states.

"Alright! I'm outta here! Dad, tell mom and my sibling that I'm terribly sorry, but if I stay with these idiots, I'mma kill someone." Skyler hisses.

"And why would you? It's only justice that will be done." Odin states again.

"Because it isn't justice! Dad didn't even gave you the suitcase, did he? Loki is innocent! He was controlled! He was manipulated... wait, one minute, that's all it takes for me to prove his innocence." Skyler explains. She gets her backpack from her back and starts to seek. She pulls out a trendy, expensive, black suitcase. She checks what's inside and sees all the photos of Loki's back and the prison photos that were taken after Steve and Tony captured him the first time. She hands the suitcase to Odin.

"Here. Those scars were fresh. My theory, is that, when Loki fell in an abyss, he landed on a cruel place. The citizens of the planet captured him. They probably wanted to use him to lead their troops, to conquer Earth and get the Tesseract. When he declined, they tortured him. Until he got so weak, that they were able to invade his mind. That's when they took control. As you can see on the pictures, Loki's eyes are ice blue. Not emerald green. I tell you, or I must be badly mistaken, that it's impossible to change the colour of your eyes." Skyler explains, finding that she's doing something that Hermione could do too.

"Let me see." Frigga walks up to her husband and looks at the pictures. She gasps, shocked and hurt. "My little boy..."

"Grandmother, I'm sure that, if you put Loki in a cell, for only a few weeks, he's completely cured. He doesn't deserve to die. Not when he was just a poppet..." Skyler begs the Queen of Asgard.

"I think I've made a mistake, dear..." Odin started, "guards! Bring Loki to my tearoom. And maids, bring some tea and cookies to my tearoom." He grins at Skyler.

"I think it's time for a Family Reunion. We have a lot to talk about."
