-Chapter 9 : Bloody Hell, Odin?-

"Ah! There you are Mr. Freeman", the now-not-so-excited tour guide said once he found Mike, looking at the sky with a blank look. The tour guide curiously looked up to see what was so interesting that caught his customer's attention.

"Is there something interesting in the sky Mr. Freeman? Because I failed to see anything. Though I heard from some tourists who came to the Black Forest that the sky here was different", the still curious tour guide asked once he looked at Mike again, startled when he found now Mike was looking at him with his blank look.

"Ah it's nothing. I just found out that the sky was quite fascinating from here", Mike blinked his eyes hard while the tour guide looked at him with a look that said 'are you kidding me?'.

"Ahhh please don't run away and leave us like that Mr. Schenker", one of the supernatural fans said to the tour guide, Rainer Schenker.

"I'm sorry. I saw a flicker of light and I thought it was Mr. Freeman so I ran away and look! I found Mr. Freeman!", Rainer said enthusiastically, pointing at Mike with his hand. All of the tourists' eyes looked where Rainer pointed and found that indeed, there, standing the lost man.

"Look! His bag is glowing!", one of the tourists shouted, pointing at the glowing bag on Mike's back.

"Oh dear lord! It must be bewitched by a creature here! Maybe unicorn!", a female tourist said, clapping a hand over her mouth, looking back and forth at Mike and his glowing bag.

"No! It must be a witch that did it!", a male supernatural fan yelled excitedly, his eyes widening as he clapping his hands in glee.

'Oh how right he is', Mike thought sarcastically, rolling his eyes.

Rainer looked back and fourth between the tourists, Mike and his glowing bag, while he scratched his head in confusion.

"No! It's unicorn!", the female argued back, some of the other tourists agreed with her.

"No! Witch!", the male fan argued hotly, his friends agreed with him.

"Unicorn!"

"Witch!"

"U-N-I-C-O-R-N!!!"

"W-I-T-C-H!!!"

"You bitches stop arguing, will you? Why don't we ask Mr. Freeman himself?", the creepy granny cut off with an irritated look on her face.

'Ohh now the granny ain't just creepy, she is a baddass too. Great, now she is the creepy baddass granny. Wow, not a surprise there', Mike thought as he scoffed loudly, gaining everyone's attention to him.

"Well, it's just my glowing lava lamp. I turned it on, hoping that one of you will see me. Thankfully, Mr. Schenker found me", Mike explained as he grabbed his backpack and slightly pulled out the top of his glowing lava lamp from his bag. Why lava lamp? Mike never think about it. He just grabbed it, no question, thank you very much.

A series of disappointed sighs came out from the tourists lips, including the creepy baddass granny and the tour guide.

"Sorry to disappointed you guys!", Mike replied in a cheery tone, some of the supernatural fans sighed again.

'Well didn't I a genius? Pfftt thank god for my brilliant idea. I prepared the lava lamp and turned it on once I was lost. Now, no one will know that there is a freakin' glowing comic inside my bag. Ha!', Mike huffed proudly for his so called 'brilliant idea', closing and zipping back his bag.

Rainer then ushered for the tourists to continue where they left. Mike looked up again and found the old woman sat at the tree branch, smiling and nodding at Mike before she disappeared again.

"Ohh I can't wait to go back to New York and inform the bald alien what I just found out", Mike sighed with his bag still glowing, thanks to the glowing comic and.. lava lamp.

'Oh, how I wish that there was a time machine. Right here, right now, in front of me. Ohh right, I wasn't trapped inside of the Back To The Future's movie with the insane and eccentric scientist, Dr. Emmett Brown', (y/n) sarcastically thought to herself, still touching Loki's crotch of course.

The room was quieted down, even the musicians stopped playing their instruments, too busy and distracted to look at the bizarre scene. The room was too quiet that one could hear a pin drop if someone clumsily dropped her/his pin. (y/n) heard someone cleared his throat, she looked around and found that Odin was the one who did it.

"Well, I guess it's the right time for you two to announce it. Or shall I do it for you?", Odin said, walking closer to (y/n) and Loki. The other guests who were in the dance floor part away to give the king a way.

(y/n) looked up at Loki with a confused eyes, silently asking if he knew what Odin was talking about. Loki looked down at her, looking just as confused as her.

Loki shook his head, he didn't have any idea what Odin said. Odin cleared his throat again once he stood beside the dumbstruck couple.

"Well, are you going to be in a such scandalous pose like that for eternity?", Odin said lowly, meaning that the words were only for the couple's ears.

Loki quickly helped (y/n) to stand, grabbing her hand. He wrapped his arm around (y/n) waist while one of (y/n)'s hands on Loki's chest.

"What were you talking about, father?", Loki asked, looking at Odin suspiciously. Odin ignored it as he turned away to look at the guests.

"The Resident of Asgard. I, Odin Borson, the king of Asgard, happily announce to you the engagement of my son, Prince Loki and this beautiful maiden, (y/n l/n)", Odin shouted with his booming voice, making the once quiet room into the not-so-quiet-anymore room.

The room was erupted with people clapping their hands, wolf-whistling and shouting their congratulation to the gobsmacked couple.

"Bloody Hell, Odin?", (y/n) whispered, looking at Odin incredulously with her mouth hanging low.

"WHAT?!", Loki yelled in confusion, his eyes widened like saucers and his heart beat abnormally fast. (y/n) wrapped her arms around his torso, she feared that he was going to faint when she felt his heart beat like that.

"This engagement, it's to avoid any unnecessary gossip in the future because of your scandalous action", Odin whispered so softly that Loki and (y/n) almost couldn't hear it.

"Brother? Lady (y/n)?", the gobsmacked Thor asked, looking back and forth between his father, Loki and (y/n). Fortunately he could break free from his rabid fangirls when they were too shocked from the scandalous incident a few minutes ago. But, unfortunately he felt like he was about to faint any minute now after hearing such a shocking news.

But Frigga beat him to it. Yes, she fainted right to the male beside her, Hogun. Thor whipped his head when he heard a commotion beside him, his eyes widened when he saw her mother fainted.

"Mother! Mother, are you alright?! Mother!", Thor said in panicked as he knelt down beside his mother.

Mike walked briskly to his boss' office once he was out of the taxi, still wearing his travelling clothes. It meant that he still wore the cream cargo pants, army green dryfit clothing, dark grey windbreaker jacket and black rubber boots.

Once the tour ended, he went straight to the airport after he packed his belongings from the hotel. Thankfully, his bag or 'the comic' was stop glowing once the tour ended or else..

Mike was so excited to inform his boss about his finding that he opened the office's doors without knocking first.

"What the hell-", Axel looked up from the current project on his table, there was dark circles below his eyes.

"Boss! I found something!", Mike informed excitedly, he practically jumping up and down like an excited toddler.

"The fuck Freeman. Why didn't you knock first?", Axel stood up, fuming and glaring dagger at his subordinate. He walked to Mike with an evil glitch in the corner of his eye, clenching unclenching his hand as if it were itching to do something. Mike backed away in reflex, now fearing for his life or more specific, his head.

Smack!

"Ouch!", Mike screamed in pain, rubbing his head. He pouted a little.

"You deserve it. Do it again and I will smack your head again and again till I'm satisfied", Axel huffed in annoyance, standing with his hand on his side and cocking his eyebrow.

"Ughh sorry boss, I was just so excited with what I had found that I forgot to knock your door", Mike smiled an awkward smile, looking at anywhere but his boss.

"Well, couldn't you changed your clothes before you came to here? Because you looked like you just came back from a hellhole", Axel walked to his black leather sofa and sat, motioning for Mike to do the same. He knew that whatever his subordinate is going to tell him, it will be a long one.

Mike sat to the sofa across from his boss, thanking him. "It seemed like (y/n) told me the truth because I met the old hag! At first, I thought that she was the creepy baddass granny. I mean, I felt like on a damn movie with those ru-",

Axel leaned forward and...

Smack!

Axel smacked Mike's head again after he pinched his nose. The lack of sleep made him grumpier and more impatient than he usually is. Poor Mike was too excited and oblivious to see the symptoms.

"I don't have a time to listen to your fucking rant Freeman!", Axel narrowed his eyes, pinching his nose again.

"Sorry boss... ugh.. the old woman confirmed what (y/n) told me is indeed true. She explained to me how to bring (y/n) back here but...", Mike trailed off, looking away from his boss' piercing eyes.

"But? Spit it out already Freeman!", Axel yelled. He sighed and then took a deep breath, hoping to ease the headache that started to form since Mike walked to his office.

"The old hag said that it must be what (y/n) really wants and she needs to do it before all the blank pages of the comic were full. Or else, she will be trapped inside there and never be able to come back", Mike's body shuddered as he imagined that his best friend choose to stay there.

'Sheesh I shouldn't have borrowed her the crazy comic but then it will still happens one way or another from what the old hag said', Mike sighed softly, tousling his hair.

"Hmmm now the big question is how we inform your friend about all of this?", Axel rubbed the imaginary beard, looking at Mike with a questioning look.

"Ugh.. maybe we can send her a note or something?", Mike replied, scratching his itchy hand, probably from the mosquito bites. Damn forest.

"And how did we fucking do it, genius?", Axel replied sarcastically, rolling his eyes skyward.

"Maybe we can draw the scene where (y/n) gets the note?", Mike hopefully gave an idea. Axel raised his eyebrows at the suggestion.

"Well, why don't you try it? Now.. scram! I have enough headache. Geez I need Tylenol or Advil or something!", Axel dismissed his subordinate, walking back to his table as he rubbing his aching head.

"But boss..", Mike stood, looking at his boss with a confused look.

"SCRAM FREEMAN! GO FIND AN ILLUSTRATOR OR SOMETHING! GEEZ MY BLOOD PRESSURE NOW SURELY IS HIGH AS FUCK", Mike quickly darted away from the room, closing the doors slowly and as quiet as he could.

Axel's secretary, Katherine, looked between the doors and Mike repeatedly before she cocked her eyebrow, asking silently to Mike what the hell has just happened?.

"Beware, the godzilla is on the loose", Mike whisper-yelled before he ran away to the elevator to go to the Art Department, hoping to find an illustrator to help him.

'Well, I can always say that it is the godzilla order', Mike whistled loudly, his back on the elevator's wall.
