As we're walking toward the rainbow bridge Loki grabs my arm. "Look Avinna. Let me explain."

I rip my hand away "explain? EXPLAIN???" I raise my voice and Thor stops to see what's going on with us. "How long have you been Odin? Why did you pretend the last time I was here? I know for a fact you saw me and Thor morn our beloved Loki. But the trickster himself was basking in glory while I cried. I've moved on and thought you were gone but your just haunting me." I take a breath.

Loki starts again "I didnt..."

"Of course not. You're a selfish god who doesn't think about anyone but yourself. I'm not ready to hear your excuses so that we forgive you." I turn and continue walking.

.....

We end up somewhere in New York in front of a torn down convalescence home.

We look at Loki. Loki just says "I swear I left him right here."

Thor annoyed "Right here on the sidewalk, or right there where the building is being demolished? Great planning."

Loki looks at him "How was I supposed to know? Can't see into the future. I'm not a witch."

I argue "No? Then why do you dress like one?"

Loki narrows his eyes "Hey."

Thor looks Down "I can't believe you're alive. I saw you die. I mourned you, I cried for you."

Loki touches his heart "I'm honored."

I smack the back of his head.

Some College Girls come over "Hi. Would you mind taking a picture with us? " to Thor.

Thor Smiles "Oh, sure." To Loki "Start figuring out where he is."

College Girls girl start to walk away and say "Sorry to hear that Jane dumped you."

Thor looks taken back but recovers and looks at me "She didn't dump me, you know. I dumped her. It was a mutual dumping."

A red-orange circle appears below Loki. "What's this? What are you doing?" I ask.

Loki looks Down. "This isn't me." Ahhhhh! He falls down into hole and it disappears

Thor whispers "Loki" he poking the card that appeared in place of Loki.

I roll my eyes and bend down to pick up the card which reads 177A Bleecker St.

.....

We arrive at 177A BLEECKER ST

Thor knocks twice and we're teleported inside.

Dr strange "Thor Odinson. God of Thunder. Avinna. Goddess and warrior of Asgard and earth."Dr strange is floating towards us. Thor Ready his stance with the umbrella. I fold my arms "You can put down the umbrella."

Thor puts it down and we're teleported again to a relic looking room. "So, Earth has wizards now?" He accidentally destroys a relic and tries to fix it.

"Stop it. Your embarrassing me." I hit his hands.

Dr. Strange a little annoyed "The preferred term is "Master of the Mystic Arts." You can leave that now."

Thor stops "All right, wizard. Who are you? Why should I care?"

Dr strange answers "My name is Doctor Stephen Strange, and I have some questions for you. Take a seat." We three are now sitting in high-backed chairs "Tea?"

Thor "I don't drink tea."

"I'll have some" I smile.

Dr Strange "What do you drink?"

Thor answers "Not tea."

Thor then has a stein of beer in his hand.

Dr strange continues "So, I keep a watch list of individuals and beings from other realms that may be a threat to this world. Your adopted brother, Loki, is one of those beings."

Thor downs the beer "He's a worthy inclusion."

Dr strange does something weird with his hands reversing time to refill the beer "Then why bring him here?"

I put my cup down "We're looking for our father. Odin. Ruler of the nine realms."

Dr strange then asks "So, if I were to tell you where Odin was, all parties concerned would promptly return to Asgard?"

Thor Smiles "Promptly."

Dr strange stares at him for a second. "Great! Then I'll help you."

I ask him "If you knew where he was, why didn't you call me? Or Thor?"

Strange then looks at me "I have to tell you, he was adamant that he not be disturbed. Your father said he had chosen to remain in exile."

Thor Hms.

Strange then looks to Thor "And you don't have a phone." Then Looks to me. "You were ... busy."

Thor Shakes his head "No, I don't have a ... a phone, but you could have sent an electronic letter. It's called an email."

Dr Strange "Yeah, do you have a computer?"

Thor "No. What for?"

Dr Strange very sarcasticly Uh-huh.

I break the stupidity "Anyway, the all father is no longer in exile. So if you could tell me where he is, We can take him home"

Dr Strange Claps his hands together "Gladly. He's in Norway." We transfer to a bookshelf and Thor's beer spills over I quickly catch the liquid and put it back. Strange flips through mystic books. "I'm just seeing whether this incantation requires any Asgardian modifications. Nope. We don't need that."

Strange is using his powers transfer us again making him spill his beer this time. "Will you stop doing that? And just please talk to us. We not use to traveling so ... spontaneously. It's unsettling in our organs." I speak quickly and sternly.

Strange looks at Thor. "Can I ... I need a ... just one strand of your hair. You are the Odin original son?"

Just as I say yes Thor Speaks "Let me explain something. My hair is not to be meddled with."

Strange then rips out one of his hairs "Agh!"

Strange teleports us back to the main hallway.

I catch myself with the railing and Thor tumbles down the stairs "We could have just walked." He says under his breath.

Dr Strange opens a portal to Norway "He's waiting."

"Will you be joining us?" I ask.

Dr Strange Shakes his head "it's not my journey. And Oh, don't forget your umbrella"

Thor catches the umbrella. "Oh, yes. Sorry. There we go. I suppose I'll need my brother back."

Dr Strange opens a portal and Loki falls back through. "Oh, yeah. Right."
