Where did Thor put my journal?
Burned it, if yours is anything like mine.
[She doesn't say anything. Not at first. Just stands in the doorway, watching. So this is her? This is the Midgardian her father wants to abandon Asgard for? She doesn't get it. What's so special about her?]
He would not do that. He would accidentally leave it somewhere too high for me to reach, though.
Not unless he wants to sleep on the floor tonight.
[Floor, not couch, because he's too big for it.]

My Thor thought destruction was funny. Especially destroying things I treasured.
Uh oh. Trouble in paradise?
[She was totally looking over the charts, monitoring and stuff]
[She was totally looking over the charts, monitoring and stuff]
No, not trouble. Maybe a little frustration. He keeps forgetting how short I am compared to him. If I find the coffee on the top shelf in the kitchen one more time...
[Jane gives up looking in the cupboards and turns to find a stranger staring at her. Since Thor has come into her life, Jane has become oddly accustomed to unannounced visitors.]
And who might you be?
And who might you be?
Did you say your Thor? There's more than one?
Torunn. [She wonders if Jane even knows the name; if her father ever mentions the people he left behind when he decided to spend most of his time on Midgard. When he decided to take the realm and its people under his protection. When he abdicated the throne in favor of child, a girl who loved Asgard more than he ever could.]
There are other worlds than these. Infinite variations on every theme lurk in the Ginnungagap, dear girl.
My world is somewhere between thine and that of the myths, and I have won my Ragnarok.

[She certainly had the look of Asgard about her. The name sealed it.]
Are you looking for Thor? Or should I be sounding some sort of alarm that there's a stranger in the house?

Oh.
[Ginnu-what?]
I'll take your word for that.
And no offense, but what's wrong with your eyes?

*Ginnungagap. He did just say.*
They have been filled with serpent venom, in yet another of Odin's pointless tortures.

I am, yes. [She nodded, stepping farther into the room.]
And no. There is no need for the sounding of the alarm. I am hardly a stranger. I am Torun Thorsdottir, Lady of Asgard and its future queen.

Can't you just borrow Mew Mew to lift you off the ground?
He's not here right now, sorry. I think he and Tony are off doing something ridiculous, like shopping.
[By now Jane has learned enough of the language to know the derivatives. Her jaw may have just dropped.]
Daughter?

Daughter?

[She will try, not very hard but still try, to hide the amusement when she sees the look on Jane's face. Why were Midgardians so easily surprised?]
Aye. Daughter. When my father abdicated the throne to return here, I became the next in line.
Which means my grandfather will be quite cross is he learns I'm here. But Heimdall had promised to keep my secret. [And considering that Odin was currently Loki? Letting the little one anywhere near Thor was not on the trickster's agenda. Loki loved his niece. As much as one such as him was capable of it. The girl had never been anything but kind to him. Had loved him as Frigga loved him. And one day...were the worst to happen...he needed the heir just as much as his brother had. So let the girl remain the next in line. What harm could it do?
It just meant he kept very very strict tabs on her.]

For Loki was bound with serpent coils, and with the guts of his own son, and with the weight of the world. *He smiles weakly.* My thanks that you feel for me. In my travels, most of the alternates I meet are almost as callous as mine own.
Thor never mentioned you.
[It's not meant as a slight to Torunn, more as an 'I'm gonna kill your dad when he gets back' kind of statement.]
I didn't realize that Thor was cut off completely. He said he promised to continue to protect the nine realms, and that includes Asgard. Why would Odin be upset that you want to see your own father?

The Loki I know is a power-hungry mass murderer. Sound familiar?
Only to those who don't know us. What we are is the quiet one who was abused until he snapped, and then people abused him some more.
Tell me, girl, how you would expect someone to cope if they were a black child painted white and adopted by Klansmen? Or if they were shunned by their whole civilization, while their brother was held up as the perfect person?
How would you respond if you were a literal inch from suicide and your father denied you?
And why do you assume that your Loki was really the enemy, when he appeared in your world stumbling around and looking like a torture victim, with eyes the same broken blue as all the others? But no, everything is Loki's fault because Thor said so. As ever.
