Magic Loki was upset, he couldn’t handle the thought of what he had done. Even if his name had been cleared, he didn’t feel like he belonged anywhere. He wasn’t sure what he was going to do with his life anymore. But he knew one thing, he didn’t belong in Asgard. He had been wanting to leave for awhile. He knew that Thor was worried about him. But he couldn’t take living in Asgard anymore. The god of mischief ignored his brother yelling his name and he took off. He was upset and thought he’d be better off elsewhere. Loki travelled to earth and had tears in his eyes, He wandered off and went and sat somewhere he could be alone. He hated feeling this miserable. But he knew that he would never fit in. JAzz Walking around the park in New York City, Riza had decided to go out and enjoy the day. It was the longest time she had been alone without the media or the paparazzi looking for her when she just wanted to enjoy the day without them crowding her. Never again though that she would be able to live a life that didnt involve being the daughter to the famous Iron Man and the CEO to Stark Industries. She knew how to avoid them sometimes, other times she couldnt and had to deal with it. Wearing a black tanktop, black jeans, This day however would be different. This day was going to be the most unexpected day that would change her life. In the park, she was walking within the grassy fields of the park, enjoying the day that she had to herself, listening to her IPod. However what she didnt expect was that in her line of view, she could see someone who looked almost simular to Thor. Though more slim, had black hair, wore green, black and gold Asgardian attire, and was sitting on a bench. Curiously she walked up to the strange only to see who it really was. It was Loki. Riza had heard all that had happened but also what Thor had done. Walking over to him more, Riza turned down the volume of her IPod and took the ear buds out of her ears. "Hey Loki. What's the matter?" MAgic Loki was looking at her, he seemed lost in thought, he had tears falling down his face, he seemed rather miserable, His black hair fell in his face a bit, he was letting it get messed up instead of fixing it, he looked rather upset. He was unsure how he was going to cope. He wanted things more normal. But he didn’t think that he was going to get that so easily. He felt like he had screwed up his families life as well as his own. He was sobbing more. He noticed somebody was there, he looked around . He had a feeling she was related to Tony, though he wasn’t sure. “How do you know who I am.” He tensed, he was startled and there was a bitterness in his voice. He was looking at her. “Nothing is the matter,” he wasn’t sure why he should be telling some Midgardian about his problems. Jazz Looking at the god closely, Riza noticed the 'miserable' state he was in and how much he didnt really look like himself. At least of what the genius heard about him. He must have been feeling that miserable. Whatever happened must have been wrecking to the god. There was some resemblance between her and Tony. She had his eyes as well as his brown hair with a bit of a distinction of Pepper's color into it. However she wore more boyish clothing that she was able to get in her size. But Riza tilted her head in confusion. "I know you through the stories ive heard from your brother, Thor. He's told me alot about you. And i'm very observant. Your hair is mostly in your face and you are usually cautious of where it is. Plus i can faintly see tears on your face." Riza pulls out a plastic package and pulls out a few tissues, offering them to Loki. "Here. I hear it is good to talk about your problems so they dont bottle up and explode on the wrong person." MAgic Loki was looking at her , he could see the resemblance. “Are you Tony and Pepper’s daughter?” he wasn’t sure if he was right. But it did seem like a good guess. He was looking at her “Suppose you know all the bad things then, Ohh why cant Thor not say everything,” he complained. He wished his brother didn’t have to share everything. It was very annoying to him. “I just hate myself and I don’t belong anywhere.” Loki muttered. He looked quite upset and lost, he takes the tissue. Jazz Riza's expression of confusion and observation deemed with surprise and noticed how observant he was as well. "Wow. You are observant as well. I am though. But Thor has told me the good and the bad. Even how your name was cleared. Mind if I sit with you?" Riza waited till he answer and either sat down on the bench with him if he said yes or would keep standing if he said no. "What has given you the feeling that you don't belong? Does Thor not see you as family?" the young genius asked. Magic The god of mischief was looking at her. “Its not that hard to tell,” he just shrugged. He was looking at her. “He really should still learn to not share everything.” He really didn’t seem to approve of when his brother shared every bit of information with people. He sighed and rubbed his eyes, he had been crying quite badly. “Suppose you can sit with me,” he was upset. Loki didn’t see how things could ever be ok again. He wished he could feel normal. He cried more “Because after all I have done, I feel like a monster, I wasn’t born in Asgard and I don’t feel like I belong anywhere, I feel like a monster and I think I lost the right to having a home. I betrayed my family and father hates me by now.” Jazz Sitting down next to the god, Riza listened to him as he answered her question. She would admit that of she had only known the bad things about Loki, Riza would surely hate him and think of him as some sort of monster. However that was not the case, therefore not thinking that the god of mischief was a monster. "Well. I can't say I can relate. But for what I understand that subconsciously, you seek approval and forgiveness. I can be wrong." She told him as she rested her arms on her legs and let them support her. "But I think the reason he says so much about you is that he really cares and hopes people come to forgive you. As far as I know, he has only told me. I can be wrong on that as well. However...I think home is where the heart lies. For me, it's with the Avenger and my family. Maybe I can help you find your home." Magic Loki was looking at her when she sat down by him. He had tears falling down his face. He truly hated himself, for what he had done and for what he was. He wasn’t able to see the bright side of anything, he was quite miserable without his family, but he felt like he had hurt them too badly, Thor had been trying to comfort and hug him lately, but he didn’t feel like he deserved it at all. He was quite miserable about everything. He knew she was right, he did want approval and forgiveness, he knew his mother and brother had given him that, but the avengers and his father he wasn’t sure. He also didn’t feel like he could fit in, he had no friends and nobody to love him. “I feel like nobody will love me, and I have no friends.” Jazz "That's not really true. Thor loves you. I'm sure you mom loves you too. I know I can't say anything for your father or anyone else." Riza sat back and looked at the god. "Funny thing is, I always wondered what it was like to be friends with you. To others and yourself, you may be broken beyond repair. However I still see all the pieces and the right tools to fix those said pieces." The young Stark then seemed to have to either a realization or an idea for she smiled before standing and turning on her heels to face Loki. "That settles it then! I want to help! I want to help you, Loki, prince of Asgard. I want to start off today as being your first friend. If the Avengers want to say differently then they can kiss my butt. They are my family but a true friend sticks up for their friend, even when it comes to what they believe in. But that also means that you'll be my first friend as well." Magic Loki was listening to her. He closed his eyes “Not that kind of love, I know they love me, But I don’t deserve their love,” he wanted to have a girlfriend. He was miserable , he knew that would never happen, he would also never have a boyfriend, He didn’t mind either way. He just thought he was too much of a horrible person. He was looking at her as he wiped away his tears. He thought some of what she was saying sounded like Tony, especially like the kiss my butt bit. He couldn’t help but chuckle slightly. He wished that he could feel ok about himself “O..Ohh ok.” Jazz Reaching out her hand, Riza decided to offer Loki a hand. "Come on. You have a place to go but stay here? I promise I will keep you a secret from Thor and the rest of the Avengers till you say other wise. I know how one is about privacy. I have to hide from the media. That is like a war zone all on its own." Riza told the god. Thankfully though the media wouldn't expect her to be with anyone unless it was her and her family. Riza wouldn't really know any other love. The young genius wasn't one to try and find love. She was mostly busy with her time as an Avenger, spending time with family or inventing something. When she was little she was home schooled after Tony and Pepper realized that people wouldnt accept her for her. Throughout her life she couldnt make friends without them using her for her money. Hence why she would stay home and invent things with Tony or go out and try not to get ambushed by the paparazzi. Magic “No I don’t have anywhere,” Loki admitted. He knew he never had anywhere to stay when he was on earth. Not that he ever seemed to care all that much. He was looking at her. Some reason he felt like he could trust her not to tell anybody if he didn’t want it. He didn’t feel safe for too many people to know he was here. He wished things would be ok, but he felt like that they weren’t. He didn’t really know what to think of everything, nothing was making sense to him anymore. He seemed rather miserable. Jazz Riza nodded thoughtfully and stepped back a little. "Come on then. It looks like it might rain soon." She told the god. Smiling, she still had her hand offered to him to take. She knew his past and all that he did but that was then. This was now and for some reason, Riza wanted to help his life become better. To make it worth while once again and worth living. Magic The god of mischief was looking at her. He didn’t feel like getting wet. He gets up and he took her hand. He wasn’t sure why she wanted to help him. Loki followed her, he felt like a monster. He was crying a bit as he walked. “Yeah…” he knew it would be even more miserable if he got wet. He wasn’t happy at all as it was. He didn’t see how things would ever be ok. Jazz Riza held his hand as they walked through the city. She seemed cautious with her surrounding as if she was waiting for someone to try and jump her. But walking through the sidewalks, allies, and across a few streets, Riza started to hear the thunder roll in. She sighed heavily. "Well, at least it's not Thor. I can actually tell the difference between mother nature'a thunder and Thor's. Anyway," she decided to change the subject quickly so she wouldn't make Loki upset. "Since you might be on Earth for a while, I was wondering if there any places that you may want to go. Like sight-see. I'm sure there is are a few places that you might like to see. Like the Grand Canyon or something like that." Riza wondered. She wanted to try and think something else that may not involve Thor or Asgard. Something that would being a smile to Loki's face. However she learned that Loki was like a closed book with a lock that couldn't be opened unless you found the key that would be almost impossible to find yet in plain sight. MAgic Loki was surprised that she could tell what was his brother and what wasn't. But any thunder and lightening always made him rather neverous and think of his brother, He sometimes just couldn't tell anymore. "Ohh you can, even if hes my brother I can't tell." he looked as neverous as he normally did when it was his brother. It always made him feel like he was in trouble. He was following her through the street. Jazz "Yep. I listen carefully. If you hear it right, mother nature's thunder sounds more like a bowling as to where Thor's thunder sounds like the hooves of thousands of horses." She then shrugged. "I got bored some times and when I heard Thor come for a visit, I listened to the two and noticed the difference." She told Loki with a smile on her lips. Soon enough while going through the city street and ally ways, Riza stopped as she looked at an apartment looking building. The building itself looks like it would cost one hundreds to live there. "I live at the top. I was able to have the floor all to myself. Its more like the studio of sorts. I even have a few spare bedrooms for when the Avengers visit but I wont expect them to come visit any time soon. We arent far from Stark Tower but I go there sometimes." Riza looked up to the god of mischief before walking over to the building. She opened the door and let Loki walk in first before she did and then walked up the stairs to the top floor Magic “Ah I see, But yeah I can’t really tell,” Loki was following her. “Thunder just makes me nervous… , I used to think he was coming each time and was angry, But sometimes it was just the thunder, I mean back when I was trying to take over earth I thought there was times He was coming for me.” He explained. He followed her through the city. Loki was trying his best to not seem to miserable but it was rather hard. The god of mischief was shivering “Damn,’ He headed inside with her. He was looking around “How is your parents?” Jazz "Ah. I would too if I was in your shoes, honestly." The young genius said as she stopped while walking up the stairs and looked to the god. "It's okay to be scared though. Everyone has their fears. Even me." She added, turning and walking up the stairs once again. When Loki asked how her parents were, Riza smiled a little. "They are doing good. The last i saw them was yesterday. Mom's still CEO of Stark Industries and managing to help the world go with the clean energy thing. We made New York go clean energy. We're hoping to make it global. Dad doesn't have the arc reactor in his chest anymore. He had that fixed years ago. He's in the hero gig still which is surprising really." She told the god of Mischief with a smile that still there. "I sometimes go to their house and we think of new things and work on them. However I try to go more into helping improve the medical technology while Dad does things like the clean energy." Riza and Loki soon made it to the top floor and unlocked the door. She walked in and looked around. "I'm home Jarvis!" She declared. "Welcome ma'am. Who is your friend?" The room seemed to have said. "This is Loki. Tell my parents nothing that he is here or staying here." Riza told the A.I as she walked into the kitchen. "Certainly ma'am. Welcome Mister Loki." Magic The god of mischief was looking around. He thought her home was rather interesting. He could see that she was really Tony’s daughter, the way her home was , seemed proof of all the money her family had. “Ah that’s good, don’t know if your father still hates me, or if any the Avengers are ok with me yet,” He figured Tony would have to be somewhat older than when he last saw him. For Loki he knew he aged slower as did his brother. He heard Jarvis and was momentarily startled. He wasn’t used to the AI. “Thank you Riza, know they should know like later or something, but right now I don’t think I can deal with your father.” He sighed a bit and looked around. “Umm thank you Jarvis.” He felt rather odd speaking to the AI.
