Unexpected (Loki Laufeyson)

Part 4 - Day 1 / Talking

~~~~~ Sandra's POV ~~~~~

I slowly opened my eyes. My head hurt a bit but I felt weirdly rested. I sat up and looked around. I was in a fairly big bedroom. No windows and two doors, one of them an exit and the other one is probably a bathroom The bed I was on was unnecessary big. And white, very white. A few meters from the bed stood a small table surrounded by a couch and two armchairs. Loki was sitting in one of them and reading.

Loki looked up from the book and noticed me. "You're finally awake," he grinned. "Oh great, it's you," I replied sarcastically.

"Why so hateful?"

"Maybe 'cause you kidnapped me?" I rolled my eyes.

"Believe me, I could have made this much worse for you," Loki said. "Listening to you talk is bad enough," I mumble before I laid back down.

I assume Loki went back to reading. And I know I shouldn't say anything, but I'm bored. "Loki, why are you doing this?" I ask as I sit up again.

"Please, be a bit more specific," he says without looking up from his book. 

I stand up from the bed, walk over and sit down in the armchair against the "The world domination bullshit. Thor seems to still believe you have some kind of heart, he can't be crazy".

"Thor is a foolish man"

"He's also your brother"

"Doesn't change anything"

"It should"

"Stop it. Just stop talking"

"It's Thor isn't it?"

"I told you-"

"That's what this is, isn' it? Jealousy? All because your brother was first in line for the throne. Loki, you're better than this"

Finally, Loki looked up from his book and at me. "I'm not better than this, this is what I am. This is who I am, it has nothing to do with Thor"

"It has everything to do with him and I understand"

"How would you know anything?"

"I've got an older brother too, we haven't always had a perfect relationship"

"Yet, you and your brother are so close."

"I didn't try world domination to solve the problem. I just became independent and made a name for myself, but I'm still a part of the family business"

"Thor always got the most attention, from anyone and everyone. He's the perfect son, the perfect King. I never stood a chance"

"And making everyone hate you would solve the problem?" I asked.

"This isn't me trying to make everyone hate me, this is me trying-"

"To rule the world, I got it" I sighed. "Maybe you could just move on and let it go?"

"That's not part of the plan," Loki replied.

"Still, you don't have to do it"

"...Stop" Loki hesitated.

"I'm actually getting through to you aren't I?" I ask, "You're listening to me".

Loki closes the book and puts it on the table before standing up and walked towards the door. "Loki-" I tried to talk. "Shut up, woman!" he roared and left the room.

~~~~~~~~~~

Bored, booored, boooooooooooooreeeeeed, that's what I'm now, I'm booooooooooooooooooooooooooooreeeeeeeeeeeeeeed! I sing in my head.

I wonder if... I walk over to the door and carefully open it. I close the door after myself before I start walking down the short corridor. I pass a few doors before I'm at the end of the corridor. To my right was a simple kitchen area, to my left was a living room with a fireplace. Still no windows, but a door. Please be an exit, please be an exit, please be an exit... I slowly open the door.

Snow. Snow everywhere and falling from the sky. Not what I expected. I looked around, that's when I noticed Loki sitting on a wooden bench. However, he looked more... blue. "Oh... My... God..." escaped my lips. Loki looks at me with a shocked face. "Um, are you feeling alright?" I ask as I take a few steps towards him, now I'm standing next to the bench. "Yes, why are you asking?" he answers. "Well... you're looking... kinda blue..." I say. A smile creeps on Loki's face. "I'm actually a frost giant" he explains. I say: "No idea what that is but cool!", before sitting down on the bench. Somehow, I can't take my eyes off his blue face.

"You know, you would scare more people like this," I say. "I thought the plan was to make everyone hate me," Loki says (with sarcasm). "I don't completely hate you, yet I'd rather not," I say. "You don't hate me?" Loki asks surprised. "Nah, but it isn't exactly exciting to be kidnapped and held hostages. And the fact that you murder people and want to take over the world, it's kinda what I'm against" I reply.

Silence...

"Can I ask you a question?" I break the silence. "I believe you just did, but ask me another one" Loki smirked. "Whatever it was you threw at me a week ago, that's what made me lose my powers, right?" I asked. "I have my tricks," Loki said, clearly proud of himself. "Of course..." I mutter. "And, if you don't mind me asking, where are we now?" I ask while looking at the snow. There was a small break before Loki answered "Norway". I nodded, "that's far away from New York". "But it isn't a place Avengers will think of," Loki said. "No, no it isn't" I agreed with him.
