" Trust me I have all kinds of clothes you can wear, Pepper has to get changed here all the time if you know what I mean." Tony winked as he lead me down a long hallway with unmarked doors on either side.

" You and I both know the only reason she has to change her clothes most of the time is because they end up apart of some experiment." I say as Tony glances back at me with a smirk.

" She stood too close behind my suit a few times. She signed a release when she took the job, not my fault." I can't help but smile, he lives in his own world and there's no stopping that.

Following down the corridor I slam into something hard.

"Tony! Why the hell did you stop?"

"Because we're here. I thought you knew that." he smirked and opened a door that lead to what could only be described as the world's largest closet. there were dresses and suits, there was a little section that had a sign over head that said "fire proof" but there was hardly anymore clothes here, wonder why.

" Put on whatever you'd like I'll be in the lab if you need me." Tony said with a small nod before swiftly turning his heel to leave. I settle on a grey dress and a white cardigan I fished out of a drawer.

I can't help think about my dream, was it real? Did Loki actually come to me in that dream? Why the hell would he even do that? But an even weirder question is do I really go to Chico's?

I figured even if it was a dream the pizza was good and I'm no stranger to eating out alone. When I get to the restaurant I find a seat in the very back, I order a medium pineapple pizza and some bread sticks to hold me over till the cheesy circle of amazing gets to my table.

I take out a book and munch on the bread when I hear someone clear their throat. I turn to see a guy couldn't be more that eighteen standing there. He was wearing a thin flannel shirt over a t-shirt with a teal pen pocket. This boy looked like he came straight out of a rue 21 magazine.

I raise my eyebrow at him waiting for him to begin either an awkwardly rehearsed sales pitch for some fundraiser or had a question.

"Sorry to bother you...but would you like to go to the book store?"

I must have looked confused because he looked relieved when I realized what was going on.

"Sure but let's have some lunch first."

Almost on que the bored looking waitress walked up with the pizza I had been waiting for.

"I have to admit when I said disguise I figured you'd wear a hat and sun glasses but this works too." I said waiting for the boy to take a seat.

" I guess you forget I'm not limited to just the items in my closet." He takes a seat in front of me and grabs a piece of pizza but doesn't eat it.

"What exactly do you need to talk to me about?"

" I need your help. I'm clearly not in good standing with the Avengers or I wouldn't go so low as to ask you."

"Go so low? You came to ask for help and yet you insult me-"

"Please I mean no disrespect, I worded that poorly I meant I need someone in shield but I can't ask the avengers and anyone under your ranking would be useless...and you're the only one who hasn't tried to kill or trap me."

He sounded genuine but he is a liar. It's what he does.

"What exactly would I be helping you with? If I goes against shield's standards and moral code I will report you."

"We spoke briefly of it last night but there is an imposter. I have been trying to clear my name or at least change but whoever this is going around as me is causing trouble. I was arrested in Asgard for murder. This-this... thing is killing people in my name. Granted while I have taken many lives this is something I will not be accused of, but because there are whiteness I don't stand a chance. I need help catching them."

"Wait f you were arrested how are you here?"

"I escaped of course. I wasn't going to waste away waiting for the trial that will never come." His voiced was now lowered to a whisper. " I must show you something."

Before I knew it we were standing in a street but it was unfamiliar to me. There were shops and people standing in clothes that looked out of time. Women in dresses adorned by aprons random ruffles. The guards standing on the street were in classic armor, but they were talking to people, very angry people.

"He's a murderer! My children don't feel safe."

"We are searching for him. And you will not need to worry we have been given orders to execute him."

"Who gave these orders?"

"Odin."

I looked at Loki who was no longer in his hipster disguise but wearing his what I'm assuming to be his normal clothes.

"Who are they talking about?" He looked down at his hands. On his wrists were fading black bruises that looked to be from hand cuffs.

"Me. My father has given an order to kill me on sight."

The look on his face was expressionless other than his eyes, there was pain and betrayal. In this moment I couldn't help but feel sorry for the man standing beside me. When an idea crept into my mind.

"Wait. If we're openly standing in a street full of people who want you dead how are we still here? How have you not been spotted?"

"This is just a vision. It's in real time so as this happens it's as we see it but we are both safely in the pizzeria."  I realize as he said that people in the streets are walking through us as if nothing were happening.

"Okay."

Loki looked at me with a questioning gaze from my random break of the silence.

"Okay, I'll help you."

And at that very moment the person I hated the most in the entire world looked at me with hope. And I couldn't help but say yes.

With that we were back in Chico's and I suddenly didn't want my food, and Loki was back to the young man in the flannel.

"Well I guess we should get to that book store." He said with the hopeful grin still plastered on his now changed face.

"Let's go."

We walked out of Chico's leaving the uneaten food on the table and plans forming in our heads.
