Back Home

Loki woke up and was blessed with a sight that seemed to make his day. He praised the Norns as he buried his face in the shoulder of the girl who was still sleeping, naked like the day she was born.

Her bare back faced him as her milky white body was tucked under the blanket. Her long hair was undone and messy, sprawled out on the pillow and covered her face.

He propped himself up on his elbow, his tousled ebony locks falling on the side of his face as he watched her sleeping like a baby. He bit his lip as he brushed away the strands, tucking them away. His touch made her whimper and sleepily, she turned and nuzzled her face into his chest, sighing contently.

"The night..." Loki thought dreamily, a cheesy smile on his face. His daze broke off when he felt Rose yawn against his chest. She rubbed her eyes lazily and looked at him yawning again, her tongue sticking out a bit. Loki grinned more widely.

Rose stared at him, wondering why the hell is he grinning like a monkey so early in the morning and then it hit her. "Oh gosh!" She blushed hard and ducked under the pillow. The blush deepened when she heard him laugh.

Peeking out of the blanket, she returned the grin, showing off her pearly whites.

Loki leaned down and brushed his lips against her ears and neck, peppering kisses all along her collar bone and chuckled seeing the hickeys from last night. Rose shivered. "Don't tell me that you're expecting another round early in the morning." She whispered, catching his ear with her teeth.

Loki gave her a look. "I'm a God darling. I can fuck you all 365 days if I want but I just don't want you to get bedridden and all." He said airily and she smacked his arm.

"I thought I would get a thank you. Such an ungrateful brat you are." She scowled at him and pulled up the blanket to cover her chest.

Loki rolled his eyes. "It's not that I am the only one who enjoyed the night." He retorted. "Well I didn't enjoy a bit." Rose argued back.

"Oooh really?" Loki widened his eyes and raised his brows faking surprise. "Then I wonder who was the one screaming and moaning out my name..." He trailed off seeing her blush.

"You heard your own voice maybe." She clipped.

"Aw no... I remember very clearly. You were like oh Loki! Faster! Don't stop! No! Oh God!" Loki squeaked in a high shrilly voice, adding some fake gasps for extra effects.

Rose flushed red, her cheeks burning. "I don't sound like that, you weasel!"

"Oh Loki! You're so good! Don't stop! Harder!" He kept imitating her untill she slapped his lips. "OWw!" He rubbed his lips.

"Take that shrimp! Move away!" She kicked him from under the blanket.

"Hey don't do that!" Loki protested, struggling not to fall down from the bed. He needed to wear his pants too. "It was my birthday yesterday!"

"Are you gonna use that excuse for whole year now? You're impossible! Ouch!" She yelped when he flicked her lips. "That hurt!"

Loki laughed. "Take that crybaby- Oomph!" His eyes crossed slightly as he groaned in pain.

Rose had kneed his jewels.

"Yup! I love this silence." She sighed as she got up, clinging the blanket over her naked body to hide as she picked up her nightdress.

"Don't do that again! Think about our future Belle." Loki rasped out, still smirking and Rose flushed again, glaring at him.

"Just get up and get dressed. Shameless..." She snapped and turned to walk towards the bathroom when-

"Is that a spider on your shoulder?"

"AAAAA!" Rose screamed scared, aggressively shrugging off her shoulders and the towel slipped exposing her upper body. Loki ooh'ed happily and Rose realised her mistake.

"PERVERT!" She yelled at him and threw a pillow at his face which he catched easily. "EHehehehe! Oh my! Just look at you! All red and cute!" He laughed and with a flick of his hand, his pants were on.

"Just you wait! Turn around!" "EHehehehe!" "Turn around I said!"

Cackling hard, he turned around while Rose quickly rushed to the bathroom with her dress. Splashing cold water on her face, she tried to cool down her burning cheeks but man, they were so red.

When she returned, Loki was nowhere. "Ugh! I wanted to punch him." Rose grumbled and suddenly hands sneakily wrapped around her waist making her jump in surprise.

"Hush baby... don't cry. Daddy's here." He whispered huskily, lips pressed on her ear making her shiver and melt in his touch.

Mr. Stark has taken quite a good effect on this silly... seriously? Daddy?

"Now answer me honestly, my Love..." He mumbled, nuzzling his face in the crook of her neck and Rose sucked in a sharp breath of pleasure. "Didn't you enjoy yourself? Cause I did." He chuckled softly. "Swear to Norns, you're amazing in bed. Look at you, not at all sore."

Rose's face darkened and the jolly mood vanished within a flash. "Thanks to years of practice." She clipped, her voice hard and cold.

Loki loosened his grip as grief settled in his heart. He turned her around and lifted up her face. "Belle, look at me." He said softly and her cold unnerving gaze met his warm ones.

"I am sorry Love." He whispered and kissed her forehead tenderly. Rose shook her head. "Why are you telling me-"

"Because I wasn't there to help you. I wasn't there to kill those sorry excuses for lives. But I won't let it happen again." He breathed out shakily. "Never again. Never." Rose hummed softly and patted his chest.

"But why did you wear those dresses last night? Not that I minded. You looked damn irresistible but why the dress?" He asked, hoping to change the topic.

Rose smiled sheepishly. "Have you heard about harems?"

"Mhmm." Loki nodded. "A special place for women in muslim community."

"I saw a movie where a king of Arab had those women in his harem and they used to please him by dancing and all, wearing skimpy dresses. So I thought..." She trailed off, blushing shyly.

Loki chuckled and pecked her cheek. "Oh thank you, Love. I swear I would pay anything to see you in that dress again." Rose smiled.

"Loki?" "Yeah?" "I lied. I enjoyed the night." She accepted. Loki beamed. "I knew it. Afterall I'm a God."

"It's not because of that, stupid." She mumbled. "I had done that before too...the only difference is that this time it wasn't forced. This is the first time I woke up beside the man I love... not some harasser." She sighed and took his hand in his. "And I love you for that." She said, kissing his palm.

Loki opened his mouth to say something but closed it and again started. "Belle, I don't-"

"Ssh... you don't need to say anything. I just want you to know that I love you." Rose said with a smile.

I want you to know that how precious you are... That you deserve everything.

"I know." Loki nodded, returning the smile.

No you don't.

But she didn't voice it. She just hummed and hugged him.

Last night, when Loki thought she was asleep, he had started rambling that how pathetic and undeserved he was. He babbled that how he didn't deserve Rose and her love but what he didn't know was that Rose was awake through it all and it pained her to hear that how low he thinks of himself.

"So we are leaving today?" She asked after they brushed their teeth. Loki nodded. "Yep."

"I wanna go to the market today. I need to buy some trinkets and gifts for everyone back. Will you come with me?"

"Sure! Why not!" He said as he conjured up a towel. "By the way, we have something else to do today."

"What?"

"See Fandral's dance. Ehehehe!"

Rose laughed. "Oh right! How did I forget about that?" She walked towards the bathroom and then halted in her steps. Looking back at him, she grinned mischeviously. "Care to save water?"

Loki bolted near her, picking her up in his arms. "Thanks for asking."

▼△▼△▼ △▼△▼△ ▼△▼△▼

"Now go. Don't whine." Sif pushed the sweating Fandral forward. The princes and Rose along with Volstagg were hiding behind the pillar while Sif pushed Fandral, urging him to enter the throne room.

"Can't I skip this? Please! I'll do anything except for this." Fandral pleaded.

"Yep. You can skip this dare." Loki smiled. Fandral heaved a sigh of relief.

"Oh thank you my good friend! I will do anything instead of this." He said but his relief was short lived when Loki's smile turned to a grin.

"Kiss Heimdall and tell him he has a beautiful ass."

The rest burst out guffawing and Fandral blanched. "I swear to the Norns, I'll gut you, Lo-"

"Enough. Now decide." Sif snapped.

Fandral gulped, wiped sweat and then entered the room.

Thor and Loki high-fived while Rose, Sif and Volstagg shared a grin.

Allfather sat on his chair, a scroll in his hand while two landlords stood near him, telling something in hushed tones.

"Allfather."

The trio faced a nervous looking Fandral. "Yes?" Odin asked.

"I-I-I have to show you something...if you wa-want... I mean even if you don't want, I have to show it to you...and please forgive me for my-"

"Fandral what is it?" Odin interrupted him, unamused.

Fandral gulped again, trying to wet his dry mouth. "This."

And then he started dancing. Throwing his hands and legs all around, singing some stupid song and then twirling around, all the while his heart drumming hard and fast.

The landlords clapped their hands, amused while Odin looked bewildered.

"STOP!" He yelled and Fandral stopped dancing.

"What are you doing? Have you gone mad?"

"A-Allfather I-I"

"Be gone from my sight else I will have your head shaved! Are you spending time with Loki?" Allfather asked angrily, waving his hand to dismiss the landlords.

Fandral nodded quickly. "Yes! I mean no! It's him who forced me to do this act. I'm innocent!"

"Shit!" Loki cursed as Rose sighed.

"Of course, it is Loki..." Odin mumbled slowly and then his eyes travelled far outside of the room, landing on some shadows.

"LOKI! COME HERE RIGHT NOW!" Odin boomed and this time all of them cursed along with Loki.

"This Fandral..." Rose shook her head, sighing while Thor patted his back. "Go forth brother. I'll pray for your soul."

Shooting Thor a glare and others a weak smile, he entered the room. His eyes met Fandral's glinting ones, as he smirked victoriously.

"You can leave Fandral. Loki, stand here."

Fandral bowed and hurriedly left not before winking at Loki who glared daggers at him.

Piece of shit...

Thor patted Rose's arm. "Let's go sister."

"But he's inside! Let's wait for him!"

"He won't come back soon, Rose." Sif said as he wrapped an arm around her shoulder. "He is gonna face the music now."

°°••°°••°°••°°••°°••°°••°°••°°••°°••

"Ugh! My head!" Loki groaned, sipping icy cold water as Rose pulled out a dress, then frowned and stuffed it back again.

"It seems like a long lecture." Rose said absentmindedly and Loki scoffed.

"You have no idea. Even now I can hear his yells in my ears. My ears are ringing." And then another groan and a long sip.

"Poor you..." Rose mumbled, clearly unfocused. Loki gulped down rest of the water in a go and stood up, scowling at her.

"Here I am, telling you about the pain in my life and you are just uninterested. I'm offended!" He threw up his hands in the air, dejectedly.

"You've got a lot of time for getting offended. Now stop whining and drag your ass here. I need your help." Rose snapped, annoyed.

Loki immediately shut his mouth and walked near her. "What is it?"

"Help me pick up a dress. They are all so heavy and too gorgeous to wear for just a market trip. I need something light and plain." She said, huffing.

"Oh..." Loki nodded and then dived into the cupboard, searching for a perfect dress and within five minutes, he let out a victorious yelp.

"Yippie yay! Look at this." He held out a pearly white dress and Rose smiled brightly. "Perfect!" She said as she took the dress. It was a simple one. A very simple white dress, without any design, just with some pearls stucked near the waist part.

"Although it's white... it's beautiful." Rose said as she rushed to the bathroom and came back, wearing it. Loki beamed. "Sweet Valhalla! You like the angel you are, Pud." He complimented.

"But isn't it too revealing?" Rose asked. Loki frowned, nodding. "Yes...and something's missing too." He studied her for a minute and then walked near her and waved his hand around her shoulders, conjuring up a golden pearl shoulder jewelry.

"Ooh! Purrfect!" Loki smiled.

"But it's still revealing!"

"Oh hush!" Loki sushed her and smoothed down her long dark brown hair. "You look beautiful. Now don't waste time. We have a lot of work and packing to do, Love."

▼△▼△▼ △▼△▼△ ▼△▼△▼

"Is everything packed, Kitty?" Loki called out.

"Yaaa!" Rose answered as she stuffed the PJ's in her bag. "Are we leaving now?"

"An hour later, sweetheart." "Okie!"

Rose did a little dance in her head for she needed time to do one last task before leaving Asgard.

Pay a visit to Neith.

"Lemon! I'm gonna visit the garden once. I'll be back-"

"But it's dark outside, Love. Not that I'm stopping you but just think again. There can be insects and caterpillars-" Loki stopped blabbering when she chuckled.

"Oh baby! Stop worrying. Don't worry. I'll be fine. I'll be back within ten minutes." She said with a wide smile that made Loki agree. "Okay... just don't fall in trouble again."

Rose nodded and after kissing him, rushed out. Making sure that no-one's looking, she teleported outside of the dungeons. The guards stared at her questioningly.

"Heya Sirs! I'm-"

"We know you, Lady Rosabelle but what are you doing here?" One of the guard asked. "I want to meet Neith." She replied. The guards shook their heads. "We can't allow that, my Lady. You're alone. If you had someone with-"

"Please! Just for five minutes! I'm leaving today and I can protect myself. You know right that it was me who put Neith here?"

The guards shared a look and then hesitantly stepped aside. "Thank you very much!" Rose chirped and then dashed inside.

As soon as she stepped inside, she regretted her decision of coming here alone. The dangerous looking prisoners snarled and glared at her, some whistling too. Rose waved her hand and smiled nervously. "Hii! Nice to meet you too."

Great! Just great Rose! Greet them like they are your guests to tea-party. Stupid.

Increasing her pace, she reached the farthest one and then halted in her steps. She had actually come to mock Neith because she thought she deserved it for hurting her Loki but the sight she saw made her reconsider her decision. Although how hard she tried, she couldn't make herself behave meanly.

It was just not in her nature.

The figure in the cell was almost unidentifiable.

The Neith she knew always wore heavy make ups and ornaments with costly gown and all, her head held high in pride and eyes dark with haughtiness but this Neith was completely different.

Her black hair was matted and unkempt, her skin dirty and oily, full of scratches and cuts. Her clothes tattered and soiled.

But the only thing that remained the same was her cold hard grey eyes, that held so much anger and hatred that it made Rose shiver.

I should go back...

Stupidity has a limit Rose but your limit line is just invisible.

But she knew she couldn't turn back now...not when Neith's dirty face curved into a loathing smile.

"Midgardian..." She spat, her voice hoarse. "Why are you here? To loathe me? To show that you won?"

Rose returned her gaze without flinching. "I come with an offer for your redemption. If you want I could talk with Allfather to decrease your-"

Neith laughed.

A clear maniacal shrill laughter that sounded like chalks being screeched on a blackboard.

"Oh no...not again please." She chuckled, wiping away a tear. "If you start with your goody goody words, I may throw up. But let me tell you one thing." She walked near the shimmering golden wall and Rose backed away a step.

"I saw your past and I'm happy to say that your crimes even outnumber mine. A bloody dark past." She spat and Rose backed again, feeling threatened.

"I'm paying mine. You'll pay yours. More painfully." Neith snarled. "Feast and make merry as much as you can because your happiness is short lived, Midgardian. Everything and everyone you love will slip out through your fingers."

Cold sweat broke out as Rose shivered slightly, a whimper escaping her lips. Tears prickled in her eyes as she struggled to breathe. She tried to hide her fear but Neith noticed it.

"Run! Run Midgardian! For your past is coming to swallow your future, whole. Run! RUN!"

And Rose broke into a run, half stumbling and as her legs almost became ready to give away, she teleported to her room, crashing down on the floor.

"Oh God! Oh God! Oh God!" She mumbled repeatedly, trying to steady her breath. "It's all right Rose. She's a manipulative bitch. Fuck no. She can't hurt you. Lame threats." She whispered, rocking herself. "You'll be back home, away from her. No further problems. Everything is fine."

Oh.... only if she knew...only if she knew what is to come...

▼△▼△▼ △▼△▼△ ▼△▼△▼

After a long farewell hug from the Warriors Three and Sif, Rose was engulfed in a tight hug from a sobbing Yev.

"Don't go. Pleath! Thay with me!" He cried, clutching her hands.

"I'll come again baby. I promise. Don't cry." Rose cooed, rubbing his back as he hiccuped. He cried louder. "No! No! Pleath! I'll be a good boy. Pleath don't go!"

Rose kissed his forehead and wiped away the tears. "Ssh baby. You're already a good boy! A brave and cute boy! And I promise that I'll come again! And bring you a lot of gifts and sweets! Okay?"

"I will mith you! I'll mith you tho much." He wailed. Rose smiled as others awed. "I'll miss you too honey. A lot."

Yeona picked him up, rocking him and Frigga stepped forward to hug Rose.

"Take care, my child. Stay out of troubles." She said, caressing her head. Rose nodded, tears brimming. "I will Mumma."

As they pulled back, Frigga cannot shake away the strange restlessness inside her. She felt like this is the last hug she was getting from the girl.

The hug felt like a goodbye hug.

Odin, to her and Loki's surprise, patted her head, a strange warmth in his eyes. "You're the best for him, Rose. Take care and remember that the offer for the apple is still valid." Rose nodded smiling.

And then he faced Loki. "Don't cause mischief. Though I know that you'll not listen to me, but try to keep her out of troubles. You aren't getting a new one if she's hurt."

Loki nodded, stupified. "Yes -"

Rose stared at him.

Loki sighed. "Yes father."

Frigga's eyes widened and so did Thor's and Odin's. The old King stepped up and patted his shoulder. "Take care my son."

And with that, the trio stood, ready to be departed away. Yev sobbed. "Bye Roth! Come back thoon! I'll wait for you!"

Rose laughed and waved. "I will, baby! Byeeeeeeee!"

They waved back, Fandral blowing kisses and Volstagg wiping his tears.

Loki leaned down and whispered in her ear. "Get ready Love. I don't want to see you screeching like a baby monkey." Rose shot him a glare.

"Heimdall! We're ready!" Thor yelled. Heimdall nodded and twisted the big sword, activating the bifrost.

And with a swirl and bright flashes of lights, they were sucked in and Rose's adventure in Asgard came to an end.

As soon as their feet touched the ground, Rose slumped on the floor groaning. She looked around and then leaped up on her feet, beaming.

"Oh! How badly I missed you, my darling Tower!" She blew kisses in the air while the brothers rolled their eyes.

"Oh look! Who's back!"

The trio turned to face Tony and Pepper.

"MR. STARK!! MISS POTS!" Rose yelled, already speeding towards them and jumped, taking them in a tight hug.

"Oh I missed you a lot!" Rose squeaked, inhaling deeply the scent of costly cologne. "Did you miss me?"

Tony shook his head. "Nah. Not a bit." Pepper smacked his arm. "He's lying. We missed you all too."

"Though you were gone for only a week." Tony added, shrugging. Rose looked surprised as she turned to the Asgardians for some explanation.

"Time works differently, sister." Thor said with a smile.

"Time in Asgard flows faster than Midgard." Loki added as he hugged Tony. "Welcome back, Rudolph." "Cut the nickname off, tinman."

Rose catched Pepper's hand and dragged her to the stairs. "I'mma go and meet others." She yelled, rushing out.

As soon as she entered, a fighting Natasha and Clint and a fed up Bruce came to sight. Clint was under Nat, grabbing her leg while Natasha had him in a headlock, his hair in her fist.

"Guys!!! I'm back!" Rose screamed, happily and jumped on them, literally squeezing the poor Clint. "Rose! Aw! I missed you!" Natasha hugged her and Bruce clapped her back.

"Will you two get off me?" Clint groaned from beneath.

"Oops!" Rose stepped aside and helped Clint stand up and then hugged him.

"But why were you fighting?" She asked as Pepper continued to laugh at Clint's disheveled form. "He cheated in the game and then pushed me making me lose. Twice." Nat glared at him and Clint gulped.

"You're just jealous." He retorted. "No I'm not!" "Yes you are!" "Say it again after I punch in-"

"Alright enough!" Tony cut in as he entered the room with Thor and Loki. "Don't start fighting for I can't afford another TV."

"Another TV?"

"Clint kicked the TV instead of me and then..." Nat trailed off laughing. Clint glared at her.

"Where's Steve?" Rose asked.

"With Lucy, eating each other's-"

"Lucy's here!" Rose exclaimed and then dashed off before anyone could stop her.

"Alright... So how she had been?" Tony asked as they sat down on the couches. Bruce sat in between Natasha and Clint lest they will start smacking each other again.

"Where there is Rose, there is trouble." Thor shrugged.

"And what is it with her hand? Why is it bandaged?" Bruce asked. The brothers shared a look before retching everything in details, including that Rose now knew everything about herself and K-74.

Others sat listening, eyes wide with horror and mouth agape. Before Tony or Natasha could rupture anything, Loki hushed them.

"Don't worry. Everything is fine now. Although at first, she took the news a bit badly but now she has accepted it. She's happy, contented and that's what we want, right?" They nodded.

"Good cause I don't want anyone of you to start with those topics again. Matter closed. And what we need is to help her adjust with her powers and her beast." Thor added.

"Well... It's good then." Clint shrugged.

"Yep. We can hope for the best." Pepper added.

••°°••°°••°°••°°••°°••°°••°°••°°••°°

"Lucy!!" "Rose!!"

The besties bum fisted and hugged each other, squealing and then Rose was picked up by Steve and twirled around.

"I missed you Stevie!" She kissed his cheek which he returned. "Me too Belle!"

"Wait a second..." Lucy grabbed her head and turned it to the side, gasping.

"You and Loki fondued!!!" Steve gasped and Rose flushed. "Dammit Steve! Don't tell me that you two are still virgins."

The duo laughed nervously at that. They made it to the living room and Lucy announced in a loud voice.

"Loki and Rose had seggs!" She cheered and Tony's eyes snapped to Loki.

"It seems you missed some parts, Rudolph." He narrowed his eyes and Loki smiled sheepishly. Pepper pinched his side. "Why would he tell you that Tony?"

"C'mon! It's a great news tho!" He retorted.

Lucy hugged Loki and whispered something that made him flush. "Shut up." He grumbled as she laughed.

"Thor! Glad you returned quickly! I missed our snake heist!" Lucy pouted.

"Didn't you say that Steve will accompany you?" Rose asked.

"He would have if it not had been for Mr. Stark who made him watch that stupid Anaconda movie." Lucy grumbled and Tony laughed.

"What? How would I have known that it would freak him out? It was so funny tho. You should have seen his face." Tony laughed again and the rest joined except Steve who scowled. "Very funny."

"Where is Almond?" Loki asked.

"With Pixie, Bandit and Pebble. Aunt was here and left just an hour before you arrived." Steve answered.

"And she left something for you all. I hid it because you all are gluttons." Lucy grinned before rushing to the kitchen and coming out with a big box.

Everyone's eyes shone seeing the box, already drooling. And no sooner the lid was lifted, they jumped in to grab the chocolate cake.

"Back off! It's mine!" Loki pushed Thor aside but Thor caught his arm and pulled him back. "No way! That flower part is mine."

"Ugh! Leave me you moron!"

"Nat! No! That's my part!"

"Hey! Hands off! The great Tony Stark hadn't even started-"

"Shut it Tony! Hey! Move!"

"Noo! Loki that was mine!"

"EHehehehe! OwW!"

"Steve! That's my hand, you shitty-"

"Language! And is that two slices you have Rose?"

"Yes. So? No! Loki! That's mine! How dare you!"

"Clint! You took the bigger part!"

"Suck it up! Ha! Take that!"

"Hulk wants cake!"

"Oh God noo!"

Rose ducked under the fighting mass, escaping with a big slice of cake and heaved a sigh of relief as she bit into it. Wiping off the cream from her cheeks, she stared at the fighting people and smiled.

This is her family.

A chaotic yet loving family which she had never thought she would get someday.

"It's my happy ending." Rose sighed happily but that didn't remained for long when Thor shrieked.

"Loki!" She snapped. "Don't bite Thor!"

"But he stole my piece!"

"I said no biting!"

Loki rolled his eyes, his face covered with chocolate cream. "Okey..." And then Thor screamed.

"Loki!" Rose gasped, hitting his head. "Why did you stab him?!"

"You said no biting!"

"You're an annoying-" she got interrupted by a slice of cake smacked on her face. Clint grinned. "Stay cool Belle."

Rose about to smack him when Lucy popped up her creamy head and grinned widely.

"I forgot to say ya all that there's another cake and that too a bigger one in the kitchen! Hahaha! Look at your faces- AAAAA! WHAT THE FUCK! PUT ME DOWN!"

Loki and Clint picked her up only to dump her on the left over cake. "That's for creating this chaos." Loki chuckled and without any warning, Lucy pulled him down with a plop, face on the cream.

"This declares WAR!!!"

Rose sighed as she got hit by yet another piece of cake. "Yep...this my family. But I love them."

And the fight continued....
