Long And Lost (Book II)

Ch.10: The air was full of various storms and saints

Sigyn was in the park again, purposefully keeping away from Bucky. She was starting to regret her rushed decision to leave the next day, but it was probably for the best. Her life had been literally turned on its head.

If you keep thinking about him, I will block you.

Then block me.

Sigyn clenched her jaw, her mind swarmed with curses in ancient languages. Though it wasn't like she expected Loki to be of any help. She shook her head and summoned a book, if only to keep Loki entertained with something else. He wasn't blocking her and they both knew that.
But, as usual, her calm was short lived.

"What do you want, Steve?" She said, not even lifting her head from her book.

"I came to apologize." He said, standing rigidly in front of her.

"If only that apology was sincere enough." Sigyn looked at him, he just looked back uncomfortably. "You came cause Bucky asked you. He thinks that if you apologize I will stay. But you don't want to apologize and you don't want me to stay." With a flourish of her hand the book disappeared. "I told you on the first day we met we didn't have to be friends. That included not telling you anything you didn't need to know."

"That's still lying."

"Indeed." She conceded. "Sit down, Steve."

"Why? You already had a conversation with my head." He said, ticked off by her mind reading.

"Amuse me."

Begrudgingly, he did. "Okay, I'm sitting."

"I'm gonna show you something." Sigyn reached for Steve's hand, he recoiled a bit, not wanting another flashback like the one he had in the cafeteria. "I promise no pain this time."

Steve took her hand, if still a bit wary. But she held up her promise. No pain this time. Images flowed in front of him. He was in a garden, a teenage girl had climbed up a tree. She was making little rocks levitate, and dropping them to the small pool. She was working on a particularly big one when a commotion could be heard approaching. The rock dropped and Steve could see she climbed even higher, where she would be shielded from view. One boy came running, he was panting, and nearly fell head first into the water, but stopped right at the last moment. His face was red, but he was still smiling. Two other boys and one another girl closed in on him, demanding an apology for turning the girl's braids into snakes.

Wait, he looks familiar. That's Thor?

Yes.

So that's Loki.

Also yes.

Steve couldn't hear what they were saying, but he could see Thor hold Loki at sword's point. Loki just smirked. If he was worried about the closeness of the water he didn't let on. He stumbled back, but instead of falling into the water, it looked like he was walking on it. Thor, the boy and the girl started to shout at Loki all kind of offensive words. He just walked back a few more steps, taunting Thor to come get him. He stepped on the water just for his foot to go right through, effectively losing his balance and falling on his butt. Loki nearly had a fit. The other boy pulled Thor off the water and dragged him away, dripping wet and sputtering more curses.
When they left, Loki walked back to dry land and the girl on top of the tree jumped down.

That's you. It was your trick.

Loki kissed Sigyn's hand, she just rolled her eyes. He then swirled her around and threw her on his shoulder. Steve couldn't help the chuckle.
