"Then you'll have no problem with me taking you as prisoner."
"Well, I'm making a pros and cons list in my head, and 'super villain who just attacked my city' is kind of a big one on there."

ALEX WAS UP WITH THE SUN, MUCH TO LOKI'S CHAGRIN. SHE IGNORED HIS GROANING AND SHUT THE BATHROOM DOOR BEHIND her. She looked in the mirror at herself, and took in the sight. This could be the last time she feels remotely normal. Not that she'd ever felt truly normal, but after today she could be well past the point of normal.
She changed her clothes, and tied her hair in a slick ponytail. She heard a soft knock, and started for the door. However, before she could reach it, Loki appeared in front of her. Startled, she clutched her chest.
"Jesus, Loki, what's the point of a door if you're just going to teleport? I could've been naked."
"And what a shame that would be,"
She rolled her eyes. "Put a shirt on, we've got some exploring to do."
"You've no idea how excited I am to watch you reach your fullest potential,"
Alex's eyes fell to the floor.
Loki immediately noticed, and placed a finger under her chin to bring her gaze up to him. "What is it?"
"Loki, I want you to promise me something,"
"Anything, dear,"
"Promise me you won't let me lose control. You won't let me become so obsessed with power t-that I--"
Alex cut her sentence short upon seeing Loki's realization.
"That you turn out like me," He spoke.
"I didn't mean.."
"You did mean it," Loki tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "I know power has made me a nasty person, and I swear by Valhalla I won't let that happen to you, my love."
"You're no nasty person," She smiled softly. "I love you so much,"
"You've no idea the love I have for you,"
She patted his chest. "Shirt,"
"Your loss," He called as she left the bathroom.
Loki quickly changed his clothes with a wave of his hand. He looked over himself in the mirror, barely recognizing the man he saw. Before he met her, he hated himself. He hated the things he believed about the world. But, now, she made him see things in a different way. She placed a new lens of light over his eyes, and he vowed to himself to never lose that.
But, within her, there is an immense power. He only hoped he'd be able to help her contain it, or it would eat her alive.
"Alright, princess, you ready?" She called.
He smirked, leaving his thoughts back in the bathroom. "Of course."
They walked through the castle, hurrying to meet Odin at the stables. Nerves and anticipation settled within Alex's stomach, tumbling around until she felt almost nauseous.
