It was late at night when the blood-curdling scream awoke Thor. He leaped out of bed, summoned Mjolnir, and ran to Evie's room. Thor burst through the door, ready to do battle when he saw his little girl sitting up in bed with tears streaming down her face. Thor dropped Mjolnir, sat down on Evie's bed, and brought her into his arms.

“Evie, what happened, my love?”

“I had a nightmare, Daddy; I dreamed that Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia came and took me away from you and Uncle Loki, and they beat me and told me that you didn't love me. And then they threw me in the cupboard under the stairs. Oh, Daddy, I was so scared. I called and called for you, but you never came for me,” Evie said through her tears and hiccuped. She looked up at Thor, “You won't leave me, will you, Daddy?”

Thor held his child a little tighter, “I will never leave you, my petal. I will always be here for you, I promise.”

“And Uncle Loki?”

Loki walked into the room at that point and sat down on the bed as well, “You do not have to worry, Little One, I will not leave you either. Your father and I will always be there when you need us.”

“How?”

Loki smiled and looked up, “Do you know who is always watching you, Princess?”

“Mr. JARVIS?”

Loki chuckled, “Yes, he is always watching you, but there is someone else that is watching you as well, do you know who?”

Evie's eyes lit up when she remembered who else, “Heimdall is watching me, isn't he?”

“That's right, my petal. Heimdall is always watching you. If you ever feel in danger and Brother or I am not with you, call for Heimdall. He will tell us, and we will be with you as quickly as possible.” Thor said.

“And Tony?”

**Sir will always be there for you as well, Miss. Evie. And it is as you say, I will ever watch over you as well.** JARVIS chimed in.

“Thank you, JARVIS; you see everyone will take care of you, my love. We all love you very much.” Thor tells his daughter an kisses her head.

“I love you and Uncle Loki too, Daddy,” Evie said.

“Do you think you can go back to sleep now, Petal?” Thor asked.

Evie hesitated, **Perhaps some hot chocolate will help, Mr. Odinson?** JARVIS suggested.

“A wonderful idea, JARVIS, could you make some, please?”

**Already made Sir.**

At his words, three cups of cocoa appeared through a tube on either nightstand. Thor smiled, he leaned back against the headboard and sat Evie next to him and handed her a cup of hot chocolate. Loki sat on the other side of Evie and took his cup from the nightstand as Thor took his. Evie looked up at her father and Uncle and smiled. She took a sip of her hot chocolate and sighed. Thor did the same and also sighed.

The trio sat on Evie's bed, drinking their chocolate, watching the fish swim by, and the little clownfish peek out of their homes. After a while, Thor felt Evie slump against him. He took her cup and put it back on the nightstand, where JARVIS took it back to the kitchen and put it in the dishwasher. Thor carefully laid his daughter down and covered her up. He and Loki slowly got off the bed and made their way back to their rooms.

“JARVIS, please let me know if Evie begins to become distressed again.”

**Of course, Mr. Odinson.**
