A Changed Man (A Loki fan fiction)

Confrontation

It was like a cartoon. 

First Danielle popped her head out of the door to check for passing maids or guards. She stumbled out after getting a push from Loki. "Hey!" she whispered angrily. Thor just walked out grinning. 

"Can we not look so pleased..." Danielle covered Thor's face with her hand. "...Seriously."

They walked to the Throne room in silence, looking out at the grounds... Tables turned, horns smashed, broken plates, arrows sticking in the ground, one man lying on top of the other. Either they fell asleep wrestling... or. 

"What if he wanted to meet only Thor?" Loki asked. "If all three of us show up, he'll know we were in one room."

"Its perfectly possible that we went to Thor's chambers in the morning to see if he was doing okay."

Thor put his arm around Danielle. "She thinks, this one!" he remarked.

"As opposed to other women Loki and you have slept with?" she grinned. Thor immediately stepped away, his cheeks burning. 

The guards opened the doors and let the three in. The distance from the door to the throne was quite long, and Loki decided that moment to say, "Keep calm." a little more loudly than he intended to. 

"Its an empty room, Loki... echo!" Odin called, his deep voice echoing. Loki looked embarrased and kept silent till they reached the throne and bowed. 

"I dont know what I am going to do with you." Odin said, exasperated. The three stood still, not knowing who he was talking to. "You insist upon re-opening things shut and kept away for ages, you're the reason Loki was beat up in Jotunheim and now, the feast has ended up into..." he trailed off. 

Loki and Thor took a small step back, knowing Danielle was being shouted at. Danielle rolled her eyes at their action. 

"I cant say it wasnt fun." Danielle looked up at Odin to see if he smiled while saying that. He didnt. "But I ask of you to not make this a habit. Women getting drunk, respectable men dancing and drinking... and Thor, what in all the realms were you thinking, climbing up on that table and adding thunder and lightening and rain...."

Danielle couldnt help but giggle. Odin glared. "You are excused." he said firmly. 

Danielle, Loki and Thor bowed and turned around, biting their lip hard, trying not to laugh.

"I dont know what the problem is, he said it was fun!" Danielle said. "We can do it again, right?" 

"What specifically do you want again!? The party or the threesome?" 

"LOKI!" Danielle gasped. No one had yet labelled the... 'incedent'. 

"Well, thats what it is."

"Shut up!"

"All right, kids" Thor emphasised on 'kids'. 

"I dont like how Thor is lately acting all grown up." Danielle frowned. 

"Yes, someone needs to teach him his place." Loki said in a low voice. It almost sounded sexual. She pushed him away. 

"I cant help but think..." Thor started, and Loki immediately leaned forward, very interested to hear what Thor thought. Danielle rolled her eyes. "... you havent answered Loki's question yet." He grinned. "About the party or the.."

"What do you want from me Thor, you want me to say I liked it? I liked it, it was an amazing experience and I saw every god existing in all the nine realms. You happy?"

"Thats a little far, you were drunk, you could recollect what all the gods look like?" Loki laughed. Danielle let out a short breath and glared at him. 

"Seriously...?" Thor asked. 

"It was okay the one time." she said. "But no more, and I really mean it. Jane arrives today and I.. actually want to go to Midgard for a while. With Loki, if thats okay. I miss my home."

Thor stepped forward and took her and Loki into a hug. 

"LOKI!" Danielle exclaimed. 

"Its my hand!" he said and stepped back. Thor started laughing. 

"Do you want me to see you to the Bifrost?" he asked. 

"No, we can go.." she smiled and took Loki's hand. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared.
