Jane followed Loki into the cave, still frowning with the regards to the animal feasting on another. She wasn’t a vegetarian and didn’t usually have an issue with nature doing what it had to do to survive – yet seeing it in such a vicious way was not something she wanted to witness again. It actually brought a shudder through her body as she thought back to that moment, only forgetting it slightly when she realized how beautiful the cave was. The crystals were shining in various colors and brought a fairly girly side of her to the surface.

She sighed slightly and examined the rocks, wishing she could take some of it back with her but somehow debating it. “The larger dinosaurs we have already witnessed should be the most dangerous around now…unless you count the raptors…” she glanced over to him and bit her lip, not enjoying the thought of those creatures finding them, not since she had read a little about them and witnessed them in various movies. “They are the more intelligent creatures around this time, known to have hunted in packs and used tricks to trap their prey. They are fast, they don’t have a problem with their sight and if we run into them, it will take a lot to get away from them”.

She wondered if they would even be capable of getting away from those creatures – the biggest part of her assuming no. “Anyway, I’d like to take some samples back with me – don’t worry, I’m not a crazy scientist who wants to take a dinosaur egg back…just some of these rocks, they are pretty amazing”. She glanced over to him and shrugged “though I’m pretty sure you can’t find any real beauty in anything here – not when you come from somewhere like Asgard. I still can’t get over how pretty everything is up there; there was a huge part of me which would have been happy to stay there…if it had been possible”. Jane took some samples, trying to push the thoughts of Asgard to one side – knowing they would lead her back to Thor.

Loki watched as Jane collected rock samples. He found her notion to be rather ridiculous that he could not appreciate beauty, even in lesser forms. It was true that Asgard trumped anything on Midgard, but he still enjoyed seeing the aesthetically pleasing display. He chose not to argue the fact, instead focusing in on her mention of another possible danger.

"Raptors? Tell me about these creatures. If they are smaller, surely we can handle them."

He walked out of the cave, glancing over the landscape before him, considering how long they would have to spend here to appease her sense of curiosity. He would admit a certain mixture of feelings when it came to Jane. He appreciated her bold spirit, but her tendency to get distracted drove him mad.

"What else do you wish to see before we leave? Perhaps we could do so without running into these raptors of which you speak. Although I am at the ready."

Loki rubbed the back of his neck, trying to relieve some of the tension. He held his dagger in the opposite hand. He hoped that Jane would tire of this place soon, even if it was a sight to behold. He didn't notice at first, due to being deep in thought, but Loki realized it was quiet--too quiet perhaps. Something did not seem right.

Jane had been preparing herself for his denial, knowing that he probably held no interest in any of this. Yet, to her surprise - he actually agreed to stay there a little longer, allowing her to provide some adventure. It wasn’t really something she could provide, she could tell him about the dinosaurs she knew about but that was about it.

"I’m not sure about adventure but we’ll see some really amazing dinosaurs, I’m sure. We just need to keep away from anything that makes that much sound - " she pointed in the direction where the t-rex had vanished, not really feeling happy with the idea of it being around there.

Jane walked with him, soon finding herself in an opening where she could over look the landscape. She glanced over the open area, smiling more at the sight of so many dinosaurs - most of them being herbivores and ones she could gladly take a closer look at. “We don’t need to worry about most of them, they don’t really eat meat so we’re of no interest to them” she glanced back to him and smirked, obviously wanting to take a closer look.

"It could be fun to have a picture taken with one and to just examine them…just a little" she smiled and stepped forward, stopping as the dinosaurs all started to run together - obviously running from something. "Okay…maybe we should wait a little longer" she grabbed his hand again and watched as some bigger dinosaurs chased after them and attacked the few slower dinosaurs. Jane hid her face against his arm, not enjoying this moment. "Is it over?"

Loki was surprised when she grabbed his hand. She was becoming more familiar with him by the day. He was unsure if this annoyed him or intrigued him. Those thoughts were replaced by amusement when she cringed at the sight of the dinosaur hunt taking place.

"Over? Well, that depends--is flesh being ripped from a carcass considered over? The creature is definitely dead," he explained, knowing it would unnerve her.

Letting himself chuckle a bit, he turned her frame away from the scene.

"Perhaps we should explore some other sections of this world first, since you have a weak stomach for the harsher elements of nature." He meant it as an insult, but somehow it came out sounding more concerned than he intended.

Walking away from the ledge, he moved towards what looked like a cave entrance. As he approached, he could tell that the inside was covered in beautiful crystals. He led Jane through the entrance, examining how the light blue crystals jutted out from the floor and ceiling.

"If nothing else, this time is certainly beautiful," he said, not realizing that it was his first pleasant comment in awhile. He turned to look at her again.

"Are there any other dangerous surprises that I should be concerned about?"

Tony considered the image of Loki in front of him. Asgardian body language and facial expression was similar enough to humans that he could get a decent read off Loki. The guy excelleled at manipulation, misdirection, and ascertaining an opponent’s weaknesses. Banner called him crazy, that may be true Tony didn’t know, but crazy didn’t mean he was stupid. Loki wasn’t here for laughs, the guy had an agenda and Tony needed to figure out what it was.

"So, you’re playing chess now?" Tony asked walking around one of his many work tables. "How exactly did laying in a dent in my floor in need of Life Alert gain you anything?" Tony paused thinking. "Did you get an offer to be the new spokesman? I bet you say a great ‘I’ve fallen and I can’t get up.’" The flippiant attitude and seemingly spacey talk was a strategic act which generally made people think he wasn’t taking things seriously or really paying attention. In reality, he was watching the image of Loki very closely.

He leaned on one of the work desks and tapped his fingers on it several time. To most people it would seem like more of his flighty behavior. The taps were a signal to JARVIS. Tony didn’t know if Loki was aware of Pepper, but he wasn’t taking any chances. ”Do you like looking at machines and schematics that make no sense to you?” He wasn’t saying the guy was stupid, just that those particular things were highly complex and most engineers wouldn’t understand them. DUM-E rolled over to Tony and nudged his shoulder. His claw opened and closed twice when Tony looked at him. That was a signal from JARVIS that everything was set. ”We’ll get back to work in a moment,” he said.

Loki listened to Tony go on about his failures on Midgard. He almost had to laugh at the tactics the man was using--not because they were ineffective--but because he had practically invented them, being that he was the god of mischief after all. Misdirection and surprises were his forte. Disappointingly enough though, he was not psychic. While he was aware that Stark was doing something, he had no idea what.

"Make no sense to me? Well, that's what happens when looking at things so incredibly juvenile. You wouldn't understand, being from Midgard. The things in my realm make your work look like child's play."

Loki was well aware that Tony's work was brilliant, but he would be damned to admit it. He much preferred to see if he could garner any reaction.

His pacing ceased, making sure that his true form had a solid grip on his dagger. He did not want to spread himself too thin, but he placed another image of himself on the opposite side of the Iron Man--hiding in the shadows.

"It must be humbling to be in the presence of an advanced species. You can always pick my brain if you wish to learn a thing or two."

Charlotte's face went blank, a defense mechanism she had developed when faced with reliving bad memories. "My best friend. She was like a sister to me..." she looked up at him, amber eyes dull.

Loki never knew how to deal with loss. He did not offer her pity or even empathy, but he did nod his head in respect.

"I see. If there is anyone still alive who had a part in it, they will not live to see another day."

His illusion flickered slightly.

"Things are going to get a bit wild in here soon. I hope you don't mind a bit of a thrill," he said, flashing a grin.

"By the way, is there anything you can tell me about Agent Romanoff?" He already knew most everything from Barton, but he could tell that Charlotte could use a distraction.

Loki had a way of making her feel stupid, like she didn’t know anything and this was a moment much like that. “I can’t help the way my mind wanders through various situations and thoughts before I settle upon something! It’s how most of my research get’s figured out, I contemplate so much in my head and then finally find the answers I’m looking for”. Jane stood up and walked towards him “I’m sorry, okay? I don’t mean to keep bringing us to places we don’t really want to be - I’m trying my hardest to make this work out well”.

She sighed and walked through some of the woodland area, making her way to what seemed to be a more opened space. “I just think if we keep listening for anything loud, we should be okay - though the Velociraptors are a whole different thing”. She glanced back to him “I’m no expert on them but from what I’ve seen and read, they usually sneak up on their prey and hunt in packs - usually tricking the prey before they pounce and eat them!”

Her own knowledge scared her, forcing her to slow down her pace and walk beside him - moving closer to him than she wanted to be. “Are you even slightly interested in this time? Dinosaurs were amazing creatures - huge beings that walked this earth billions of years ago…or now as we’re back here” she smiled, getting excited but still practically holding his hand. “I could take back so many answers about this time - hell, if I were crazy I could take an egg back with me and start the day of the dinosaurs again!” Jane grinned “I won’t do that, I’d be messing with science and the way this world evolved”.

He listened to her babble on about science and the dinosaur creatures. He found her passion to almost be endearing. Almost. Instead he sighed and shot her an unhappy look.

"As amusing as I would find it to have one of those large dinosaurs chasing Thor around, this trip is rather wasteful. I suppose we could stay to explore just in order to give you time to rest. If nothing else we have discovered that you can't send us anywhere proper if you aren't at your best," he explained.

Loki knew he was pushing her buttons. He was aware that it was grating on her nerves, but he could never seem to help himself. The fiery look she would get in her eyes, and the way she was almost sputtering to find comebacks brought him untold amusement.

Brandishing his dagger again, he tossed her a mischievous smile.

"I hear you have promised adventure. Lead the way."

Jane gasped as the t-rex appeared from beyond the trees, roaring down towards them as it approached them. She had always been fascinated by dinosaurs, always watching the many shows they created about their existence but she had never wanted to see one this close. She never actually thought it was something she ever needed to fear but here she was - face to face with one and possibly heading towards becoming its dinner.

"Oh my - - -" she didn’t even finish her sentence before Loki had thrown her down on the ground, laying on top of her as he placed his hand over her mouth. Jane took in scattered breaths as the dinosaur continued to roar, stomping around with its young as it attempted to find them. She watched as it walked by them, the young staying close to its side before they continued through the trees - the stomping becoming quieter and the ground more stable.

Jane waited before she pushed his hand off her mouth and let out a sigh of relief - though her entire body trembled from the fear. “That was the scariest thing I’ve ever - - seen” she glanced up to him “I’m sorry, I was trying to think of something scientific for me to go back and see and then I thought of a dinosaur. They always interested me as a kid and now we’re here and I’m too scared to do anything”.

"Also, the t-rex can’t see anything if it doesn’t move - it doesn’t have the best source of eyesight but… ya know, the invisible thing was a good idea". Jane moved to sit up and glanced around them "with the exception of there being many more beasts like that which can eat us, this really is a once in a lifetime chance for me". Her scientific side was starting to show through again "are you too angry to allow us a little exploring around here before we go back?"

Loki got up, moving away from Jane as he surveyed the area. The danger seemed to be gone for now, but one could never be too vigilant.

"I have come to expect the worst from you when it comes to time travel, to be honest. I'm not sure what else could surprise me at this point," he jested.

He sheathed his dagger, and took a moment to think about her proposition. He did enjoy having the upper hand at all times, which included the gathering of knowledge. He did not know a lot about this time or the creatures within it. If it would benefit him then he did not see the harm.

"I suppose we could stay for a while," he conceded.

Jane moved behind him, finding it curious when he guided her to do so. One moment he could be annoyed with her and seeming to hate her - the next moment he was pushing her behind him as though he was going to protect her. She really didn’t understand him and that was something she hoped to do sometime in the future.

"I don’t think that little thing made that much noise" she glanced over his shoulder and down to the dinosaur. "I don’t think that’s a dinosaur you want to get close to…." she grabbed his hand and pulled his arm back, trying to get him to move back from it. "I mean it…we need to go and now".

Jane pulled at his arm, being weak compared to him but trying none the less. “I don’t want to be - - ” she stopped talking, feeling a thud and the ground moving with each one. There was a distinctive sound of trees moving as something grew closer to them, something bigger.

"Loki - please, we need to move now" she tried to pull him again but wrapped her arms around him, almost hiding behind him. "I’m sorry for everything I’ve ever said to you - please don’t let it eat me".

Something protective surged in him as she clung to his back. Loki would not let her die to some creature, because she was his to control. He needed her still.

"Stay back," he hissed, drawing his weapon.

The ground shook beneath their feet. Not long after, a beast larger than any he had ever seen, on Asgard or Jotunheim, came into view. Its roar was ear piercing, and its large row of teeth appeared incredibly sharp.

The dinosaur bore down on them, seemingly displeased that they were near her young. Loki thought briefly of fighting, but knew when a battle was not worth attempting in the end. Grabbing Jane by the shoulders, he dove out of the war path, taking her with him. His whole frame fell on top of hers, covering her from harm.

"Be quiet," he whispered. "I have placed an invisibility spell onto us. We cannot outrun that beast."

He placed his hand over Jane's mouth as he spoke, keeping eye contact as they waited for the monster to leave.

Jane gasped slightly as he pushed her against the stone wall, not enjoying seeing this side of him but it wasn’t like it was a shock to her. She knew he could be cruel and violent if he wanted to - and her toying with the stone wouldn’t go down well. She sighed slightly and shook her head “I don’t know where to take us”.

She thought about it for a moment, staring up to him and not enjoying being close to him in this sense. It was harsh, he was looking down to her with a sinister glance which showed how annoyed he could get if she teased him more. Jane closed her eyes, thinking about her apartment - figuring it was best to just go back to the future time and then think about their next attempt.

Nothing happened. Jane opened her eyes again and shrugged “I guess I don’t want to go back home…as it’s not taking us back there and can you move back a little, I need space to think and breathe!” Jane snapped but thought about different times, she thought about the scientists she wanted to meet and the books she had read. She thought about the evolution of life and before she knew it, she was thinking back to the time of the dinosaurs. Jane closed her eyes for a moment, not really meaning anything as she imagined the dinosaurs - in the way they appeared on movies or documentaries. She soon felt the power surging through her and snapped her eyes back open “No!”

Jane stepped back from him, now being stood outside and among trees and countryside. “I did something bad…I did something really bad” she muttered and moved closer to him, going against her initial requests for him to move away. She waited a moment before a roar sounded in the distance “yeah, I really did something wrong - I’m sorry, though it is your fault for rushing me”.

"I never rushed you, I merely told you it was time to leave. If you can't handle a close proximity to me, perhaps you shouldn't have tried to jump into bed with me before our little trip."

Loki's first reaction was to argue with her, as usual. When he heard a roar in the distance it caused him to realize that she had taken them some place dangerous.

"What have you done, Jane?" he asked, his eyes searching the horizon and his hand resting on the hilt of his dagger.

He instinctively pushed her further behind his frame, putting himself between her and whatever was out there. Soon a small creature wandered out onto their path.

"Is this all? It's so tiny, just a baby!" he said, smirking at the minuscule creature from which Jane had hidden. He decided she had strange choices in time travel.

"No. But all the agents that did leave and got caught were always brought to this cell. It's like...the preassigned cell for only ex agents." She shrugged. "It's got a full security system, gas ventilation system, and locks from the outside from a remote control..."

"I wouldn't worry about all that. When the time comes, I will get you out of here."

Loki thought for a moment. He was not sure why he was curious, but something about Charlotte made him want to know more. He remembered her mentioning several times that S.H.I.E.L.D. had killed someone important to her. He went out on a limb, wondering if she would share. Maybe it would lead to more revenge. He enjoyed revenge.

"Who did they kill that was important to you?"

{CLOSED} Departure

Jane wondered if Loki even knew she had been arrested but that was all confirmed when he appeared beside the cell. She allowed a deep and frustrated sigh to escape her lips as he started to speak - being more smug than he usually was. “This is all your fault, if you had just let us leave when I said we should - none of this would have happened and yeah, I might be looking at death right now so if you don’t mind getting me the hell out of here…we can leave!”

She walked up closer to him and frowned, she didn’t want to be stuck in this cell but it pained her to have to ask him to rescue her. She knew that if she did ask him, he would make her beg for it and then he’d never let her live it down. It was not something Jane was willing to allow - not if they planned on moving around various periods of time, exploring the history of the world. Jane smiled slightly as that thought passed through her mind “besides, I have the stone and without that or me - you’re kind of stuck back here so maybe you should stop being such an asshole about things and let me out?”

Looking out to him, she could tell he wasn’t going to enjoy her baiting him - after all, he did enjoy being the one calling the shots or winning any snark battles. She bit her lower lip, debating her next move for a moment “maybe I should just leave you here…I can easily think of a time and go back there, you can just stay here and make friends with the locals - okay?” Jane closed her eyes and waited, knowing that he wouldn’t allow her to just leave him behind.

"How many times have I told you not to play with fire, Jane?" he growled as he teleported into the cell with her. He roughly pushed her against the stone wall, grabbing her hand that held the stone.

"If you ever wish for my help in the future, it would be good to remember who you are dealing with," he said smoothly, letting his thumb trail down her wrist to touch the stone gently.

"You aren't all words and no actions, are you now? Get us out of here."

Jane glanced over to him with a slightly alarmed expression, she could tell he was baiting her so she would feel uncomfortable - it was written all over his face. She shook her head slightly but knew that if she declined the over, he would tease her about her inability to handle a private audience with the king. It was childish to decline it and she could simply walk away - surely nothing would be forced upon her, not by the king of England.

"I was just thinking that it would be a good time to leave but I think I might take up his offer - it’s not every day you get to see the king of England, in a private setting!" Her heart was racing as she spoke but she didn’t want to back away, not to allow Loki another new reason to tease her. "I’ll be back soon, please try to keep out of anything too mischievous - I really don’t want to try and get you out of a prison cell".

With that said, Jane spun on the spot and headed over to the member of court. She glanced back to Loki before following the other man out of the room and down a few corridors. It wasn’t long before she was shown into a bed chamber - where she was soon met by the king. He approached her and spoke of her beauty, he spoke about her being unlike other women in court and how he desired to enjoy her flesh. This forced Jane to blush immensely but she tried to keep it together, even when he kissed her - his lips trailing from her lips to her neck, whispering “do you consent?”

This was the question, this was her chance to get out of this “I’m truly honored to receive your attention but I do not consent to this”. She sighed as he pulled back, looking annoyed by her denial “you will deny your king?” Jane stepped back from him “I do not wish to waste your time, I must return to my fiance…” she gasped slightly as he moved closer to her - his hands reaching out to her which forced her to react the same way she always did. She swung her fist and caught his cheek, punching him hard before she pulled back again. Everything else seemed to be a daze as he called for his guards and demanded she was taken to a cell - to await her trial and punishment for abusing the monarch.

Jane was soon dragged down to the cells, her heart racing even faster as she tried to figure out a way to escape. This was not how she expected the day to go - if anyone was going to get arrested, it should have been Loki as he was the one who got into trouble more. She moved to the corner of the cell and shivered, hoping that Loki would find out soon and get her out of there.

Loki watched from the shadows as they dragged Jane into a cell. He could have interfered, but he decided to wait until the guards left, in order to have a moment to savor Jane behind bars.

"Looks like you've found yourself in a bit of a predicament, yes?" He leaned against the cell with a smug look on his face.

"I wonder if they will sentence you to death! I suppose you might need to be rescued. If only you had someone here who could do that," he said tapping his chin as though deep in thought.

Tony Stark was having one of those days. He’d taken a break from suit building for the day and finally gotten around to taking a look at the damaged Shelby. He’d bent the frame when he landed on it which meant he had to strip it down to the frame to fix it.

"DUM-E, what are you doing?" Tony yelled at the little bot that was his oldest assistant. "Put the fire extinguisher down and come help me with this engine."

The little bot made a chastened series of sounds and did as instructed. They hooked up the engine to some equipment. According to the diagnostic scans it was undamaged. Tony started it running. Over the noise he heard a voice. That was weird. JARVIS should have alerted him and only 3 people had the code to get in here. Tony turned around and he felt himself go cold.

"The security on Asgard really sucks," he said to himself. "JARVIS, are you malfunctioning?"

"No, sir, I am only detecting an image, none of my other sensors are picking up anything," the AI responded.

Tony smiled at Loki, not in a very friendly way. ”What’s the deal? You need me to run down your plans again and tell you the huge flaws so you can completely ignore them?” He wasn’t entirely sure what Loki could do at this point, but he was standing in the center of a room completely of Tony’s making. Tony knew every defense and offense he had at his disposal, Loki didn’t.

Loki's boredom was not the only reason he had gone to see Tony Stark. Whatever was situated inside the man's chest had protected him from the power of the Tesseract. He was intrigued by the idea of something of such influence. Getting the information he desired would not be easy, but if nothing else, mocking the Iron Man would be amusement enough.

"It is easy to pick out weakness when one does not fight their own battles, Mr. Stark. If I remember correctly, you did very little fighting and a lot of falling. While my plans may seem flawed, sometimes it takes a perceived failure in order to complete a master plan. When, if ever, does it end? Perhaps even now you play into my hands."

Loki's image paced the perimeter of Tony's lab, leaning over periodically to examine one thing or another.

"No, but a hardly tangible copy of yourself isn't going to help us." Charlotte mumbled. "It may be different for you, but I've spent the last three years running from these people." She sighed. "They even put me in the cell I imagined they would..."

"I have a plan. When it comes to fruition, you will know. Believe me. I will come for you."

Loki used his double to watch her closely. Charlotte was deep in thought over something. Being back in the clutches of S.H.I.E.L.D. did not agree with her, so it seemed. He was not surprised, but he realized that he never did find out much about her past.

"Why did you imagine you'd be in this cell? Did something happen to you here?"

Jane smiled as Loki spoke, she was trying her hardest not to laugh or smirk at the concept of Loki paying any level of respect towards this king. She knew he looked upon all humans as being beneath him - and that included any monarchs. It was interesting to see him actually going along with the plan, she was almost suspicious about his behavior. Why would he go this far to play along with her game? Perhaps he was just seeing the fun in it or maybe he had other plans.

Whatever he was doing, she appreciated him playing along and soon the king dismissed them. Jane feigned a concerned reaction, almost questioning why they hadn’t instantly been granted permission to marry - but left with Loki.

"Usually he would just grant them permission or say no, he’s deliberating with us and I don’t know why" Jane sighed and moved back into the same room they had started out in. She moved to the seated area and sat down, her hands placed on her knees "we can leave soon, I just need to think of another period in time I’d like to witness".

She smiled over to Loki “thank you for trying, I know that must have pained you to be nice to a Midgardian like that”. Jane was about to ask him about his motivation but then a member of court approached them. He knelt beside her and whispered in her ear before wandering off again. Jane bit her lip and blushed, looking over to Loki again “the king wants to see me alone”. Her hands toyed with her dress slightly, almost becoming completely fidgety “this is the part where he seduces the lady in his bed chambers…” she blushed more “maybe we should go now”.

Loki contemplated the idea of Jane going to meet the king. The thought of her getting flustered and frustrated was pleasing to him. If he had to endure these frivolous adventures, he should at least have some entertainment at her expense. Perhaps with some coaxing she would cave.

"We came all this way at your insistence and now you are giving up before experiencing a private interaction with this king you so fervently seek? This is a once in a lifetime opportunity."

#starsofscience #thereturn #departure

Jane listened to him and sighed, the mention of them losing interest did bring her thoughts back to her relationship with Thor. Perhaps he would have grown tired of her after a while, maybe he would have ended things just out of boredom. She didn’t know either way but it was not something she would ever have to worry about.

"I don’t care what you do, just try not to play too many of your tricks. These times were far more strict compared to the future - they won’t hesitate to behead us if we are seen to be breaking any rules or lying". Jane smiled to the guards who came in, nodding at the mention of them being free to see the king. "This is it….oh my god, I can’t breathe" she shook her head and took hold of his hand, pulling him from his seat.

They were escorted into the throne room where many people hovered around, most of them just being there to see the king or serve him. Jane wandered towards the throne and lowered her head out of respect, hoping that Loki would do the same. She knew he didn’t usually play along with others being the king but she was hoping he’d be wise when it came to this.

The king greeted them and spoke about the marriage, allowing his eyes to linger on Jane for a moment while he smiled. He was just like the many portraits Jane had seen within books - just as round and loud. Jane kept hold of Lokis hand, glancing towards him when the king questioned why they wanted to be married - she knew that it would be better coming from Loki.

Loki noticed the King stealing glances at Jane. He wondered what it was about her that seemed to capture everyone's attention. She was pretty, but he had seen far more extraordinary beauty in his his long years. There must be something more. Remembering that he needed to speak to the king, he dropped his train of thought for the moment.

"We wish to be married because we are in love, which is why we have come to request your blessing," Loki gritted out, struggling to submit to some pompous king of Midgard.

He snaked an arm around Jane's waist for show, pulling her closer to his side as he pasted a smile onto his face. He reminded himself that he needed Jane to begin to trust him if he wanted to accomplish his plans. He would have to put up with her strange interests in the meantime.

The King appeared to be deep in though, glancing again at Jane. Loki was not sure how occasions like these were suppose to progress, but he had a bad feeling about the leering eye of the monarch.

#starsofscience #thereturn #departure

Jane sighed deeply as he mentioned not being impressed, she knew he was probably being stubborn about it but it annoyed her none the less. She moved to sit beside him, frowning at the way he sprawled over the chair - not seeming to care if it was proper or allowed.

“It’s called wanting a little adventure for a change, I don’t see how that’s overly shocking really. I’ve always wanted to explore things I couldn’t…and I’ve always wanted to be less rule abiding with some factors. I guess this is my one chance to leave the researcher behind and enjoy myself for no real reason”. She glanced over to him and shrugged “trying to be good only led to me having my heart broken - so”.

It still upset her that Thor had chosen the throne over her, it wasn’t really shocking for the brunette but it was painful. After all, she had always assumed that would be the case - why would any God choose a simple scientist over a throne? She shook her head, trying to rid herself of those thoughts as she watched many couples being summoned into the king.

“I believe you’ll have to sell our love, I would imagine it’s proper for the gentlem— well you to do the speaking rather than me”. Jane rested her head on the back of the chair and stared up to the elaborate ceiling “did you ever come to Earth before? I know you’re mentioned in some books but nothing seems overly truthful about you - so I’m just wondering if you or Thor came here before?”

As she spoke, he considered how much of his experiences to share with her. He had visited Midgard plenty of times in the past, but it was usually to cause mischief or mayhem.

"We have been here, yes. We mostly explored when we were much younger, but after a while things tend to lose their appeal," he stated, considering mentioning how Thor lost interest in her the same way, but decided cruelty was not as fun as mischief.

Loki tapped his fingers on the side of the chair, waiting impatiently.

"I suppose I could take control of the situation, if that is what you desire," he said with a smirk. "I'm sure I will make it memorable for you."

As he spoke, the attendant returned and informed them that the King was ready to see them.

{CLOSED} Hunted

Charlotte was taken to another cell on the other side of the helicarrier. It was a small room, with only a bench connected to the wall to serve as a bed. She grinned at her guards as the door shut, then sat down. She gritted her teeth and ran her hands through her hair. No doubt Fury would come down and chew her ear off. The Council will be told of her sudden appearance. They would order her death. No doubt, if this was it, she'd be dead within the hour. She glared at the door. Loki better have a plan.

Loki sent one of his projections into her cell. It had not taken him long to find her, considering S.H.I.E.L.D. was rather overconfident. He slipped through unnoticed. Once inside, he sat down next to her.

"Don't tell me that you've lost faith in me already, Charlotte."
