The week passed by and all seemed peaceful, however (y/n) felt like something was going to happen because she noticed her brothers were hiding something from her.
The kids began to look more excited as the weekend came.
She woke up on Saturday and saw that Thurston was next to her again, he must have snuck into the master bedroom to be with to her. His strong arms made it hard for her to break free and she could tell he was feigning sleep in order to hold her more.
She continued to struggle and felt him tighten his grip, "Stay."
(Y/n) pinched his nose closed and he sighed, "I'm not letting you go."
Now she had to think of other ways to get him up if he was not going to let her go easily. She tried to tickle him but got a chuckle from him, pulling his hair a little, trying to force his eyes open.
"Wake up.," she told him.
"No. Day off, you're mine.," the Finn replied bluntly and rolled over so he was resting his head on her chest, "Perfect."

"I'm hungry.," the woman said.
"We'll eat when the kids leave.," the Finn said, "Loki is taking them to a zoo."
"What if I want to go too?," the female asked, "I like animals."
Thurston gripped her tighter and snuggled closer, "Stay."
"Nej.," (y/n) replied and wiggled out of her night dress, she fell onto the floor and got up. The Finn was watching her with awe, he felt a warmth from her beauty.
She got a new outfit to wear and walked out of the room to brush her hair and get ready for the day. Thurston followed to watch her.
She brushed out her hair and cleaned her face, she felt hands snake their way around her waist as she dried her face off.
She looked in the mirror and saw it was Thurston hugging her, his eyes locking with hers.
"Awfully clingy.," She said.
"It's the only way to get your attention.," the man said and kept his arms around her, "You have been avoiding me."
He seemed to be sleepy as he was not as mad looking, the Finn snuggled to her, "Let's get back to bed."
The door to the bathroom opened and both looked to see Jess, "Hey. Magnus says we are all going. So get ready."
"I'm all set Jess.," (y/n) said with a smile while Thurston groaned.

"The hell is his problem?," the dark haired girl asked.
The albino smiled awkwardly,  "He wanted a day alone with me."
"You two can treat this like a date, Lady (y/n).," the olive eyed teen said and closed the door, "I'll try to keep the others out of your way, pappa."
She stuck her tongue put cheekily as Thurston got annoyed, "how impudent."
"She's endearing.," the albino giggled and felt his arms unwind from her waist as he let go before being spun around and kissed.
Thurston let her go after giving her a dominating kiss and went to get ready himself.
She quickly walked to find one of her other brothers.
(Y/n) found Magnus and a cleaned up Markus having coffee. The silvery-white haired Scandinavian greeted the two and gave the young man a kiss on the cheek that he rubbed off.
The young Scandinavian walked by her oldest brother, "(y/n). Did you forget something?"
"Oh, good morning Magnus.," the female responded with a smile.
The Dane nodded and took another sip of his coffee, "Excited for the zoo?"
She nodded in return, "I love animals."
The man gave a small smile, "I know you do. That's why I want you to go."
"I-I-I heard th-th-that their b-black panther that had b-b-been deathly i-ill h-has my-my-mysteriously he-healed of al-a-all illnesses a-and injuries.," Craig jittered out as he stumbled into the dining room with Bernard behind him.

The swede was smiling smugly as he walked by the young albino woman, he knew what happened. Egil, Terri and Jess came in after them.
Loki and Aske walked in behind them, Magnus and his beneficiary stood. Every kid had a bag or a purse on them. Thurston walked in not wearing his uniform but something more casual. He looked so much kinder without the harsh and dangerous looking uniform on.
Loki clapped his hands together, "Everyone ready?"
He got verbal replies and nods in response. He warped the group to the zoo and they walked to the entrance to pay.
All of them got in and began to walk about to look around.
Loki warned all of the kids to stay by one of the adults and gave a sharp look to his younger sister as a warning to do the same.
She looked away before taking her eldest brother's arm and walking with him and Markus. Magnus saw how angry Thurston looked but disregarded it.
He enjoyed his goddess sister's company too much.

Aske held Loki's hand as they walked around, the tall Norwegian had to bend down to hold the skinny boy's hand. The bright amber eyes of the little boy were wide with amazement and wonder at all of the magnificent animals. The Norwegian smiled at the little boy's face.
the fiery haired man walked with the little boy and looked at the animals and displays set out by the zoo, he was just as happy as the boy. The zoo was fun and he would not deny it, animals are amazing.
The dark eyed man felt his hand slip out of the boy's and looked back to see Aske run to a play area.
He followed like a dutiful parent, "Be careful Aske. Don't get too high up, your bones aren't as sturdy as others!"

"Okay!," the boy called back as he climbed the playground gym. Loki smiled and sat on a bench by another animal exhibit.
The Norwegian's exhaustion caught up with him and he closed his eyes, Constantly repairing the magic barrier around the manor tired him out. He opened his eyes and saw that the boy was no longer on the playground. Aske must have forgot his warnings and wandered off! The Norwegian jumped up and started to look for the ember haired boy.
"Aske!,"the Norwegian called for the child.
Loki was becoming frantic, his precious kid was missing.

Malthe and the Nordic 5 decided to have a fun day out and go to the zoo.
The blond man agreed happily as the zoo was somewhere his daughter loved to visit with him, she loved animals as much as she loved children.
He and the others split up to go where they all wanted, agreeing to meet up at a certain point.
The bearded man sighed and walked around the zoo, his gentle smile graced whoever looked at him.
His fatherly instinct kicked in when he saw a frail and skinny child wandering around aimlessly.
The boy had ashen blond hair with parts that looked like burning embers.
He walked up to the child and kneeled down, "Child, are you lost?"

The boy looked behind him to see a man with a kind smile kneeling down, he nodded to the man.
"What is your name?," the man asked and the boy shook a little.
"Aske.," the child replied.
The blond man's eyes widened a little before going back to Normal and he smiled warmly, "My name is Malthe."
Aske seemed to sense that Malthe was a kind individual and got close enough to him for the large man to pick him up.
The boy snuggled to the man, the muscular arms of the blond held him gently.
"You look like lady (y/n), your eyes especially.," the boy said.
"I should.," the man said, "She is my daughter."
The young boy looked in awe at the bearded man who looked like a living viking, no, like a gentle version of Magnus.
"You are lady (y/n)'s father?," the boy asked, "what about her brothers? That would make you super old."

Malthe laughed heartily, "I am very old. It is true. But you can call me Grandfather."
Aske was happy looking as the man walked around with the boy in his arms. They saw the gentle flow of silvery-white hair from under the parasol by the big cat exhibit of the black panther.
"Lady (y/n)!," the boy exclaimed and the woman turned to the sound of the little boy's voice. Her eyes met the soft blue ones of her father.
"Far?," the woman asked and the blond man walked up to the albino woman, "Aske?"
"(Y/n), it is good to see you again.," the man said and smiled to his daughter, "I'm glad you are safe and happy."
"I'd rather be with Noah, Far.," the albino said and looked behind her father to see a Swede approach with a Finnish man.
The blond looked behind him and smiled, "Hello, Sweden, Finland."

The two blonds greeted Malthe and saw the boy he held. They also saw their sister.
"M'syster.," the swede said and opened his arms to ask for a hug which he received. Aske looked surprised to see the albino woman be so friendly to the man who looked like the dangerous Bernard.
"Lady (y/n)!," the child said and got her attention.
"Far, can I hold him please?," the female said and got the child, "Did you like meeting my father, Aske?"
Aske nodded, "Granpa is nice. But who are they? They look like sirs Thurston and Bernard."
The woman smiled, "These are friends of mine."
"We are also friends of Alfred.," Finland said, "You can call me Timo."
"Berwald.," Sweden said and the boy hid in the woman's hair.

Aske peeked out and shook from Sweden's appearance, "Are you also superheros?"
'Of course America introduced himself as a hero.,' the blond males thought to themselves.
"Of course they are.," (y/n) said and put her finger over her soft pink lips, "That's why they are trying to act as much like humans as possible. They are like Loki and I."
The little boy's eyes began to sparkle, "More heros?"
The red-violet eyed Scandinavian nodded, "So many more."
She looked at her father and the two with him, "I'm sorry, but I have these children to protect. The children who were unwanted by their families has come into this one as beneficiaries to their patrons. I may be scolded for telling you this, but I need to care for them."
"(Y/n), why not come back with us?," Finland asked.
"Because there is something I have to do.," the female replied and held the ember haired boy to her, "Then I will make my final decision on what to do."
The woman walked off with the boy in her arms, her long hair flowing behind her like a silky veil, a comet's tail, an aurora.
The little boy waved goodbye to Malthe, "Bye bye, Granpa!"
"Aske, can I trust you to not tell anyone about what you saw?," the female asked, "It is important that my brothers don't know."
The boy agreed with a finger over his mouth and a big smile.

Thurston stalked around angrily as Jess followed him with a smoothie in her hand and a plush tiger for Terri under her arm, "hey. Pappa, why are you so pissy?"
Her pugnacious but laid-back attitude made him mad, but it did not annoy him as much as Bernard did. So he'd tolerate her.
The Finn looked around quickly.
He finally caught sight of what he was searching for.
Long silvery-white hair flowing behind a woman more beautiful than anything else he had ever known. To him at least.
He could just watch her forever, he wanted to hold and love her forever.

Her milky white body held the smaller one of Aske to her as she sat on a bench to rest.
The little fiery boy was almost asleep in her grasp, Thurston walked up to her.
Her hand ran over the hair of the drowsy boy to lull him into comfortable sleep she looked up to Thurston and then over to Jess.
"Isn't the pond beautiful?," she asked and the two looked to the koipond she was referring to, "it's like the fish in there are in a dance, a dance that plays their entire lives until they finally lay to rest."
Jess sat next to the woman, "It is pretty. I guess."
"(Y/n), kulta.," Thurston spoke and kneeled before her, one of his hands on his knee and the other on the ground and his head in a bow, "Please. Please just spend the day with me, spend the night with me. I'm begging you. I need you."

(Y/n) heard some light tapping and saw tears falling from his eyes.
He... he was crying.
Even Jess was surprised at the normally pissy and hardassed Finn was breaking down, he seemed to be true in his heart and words to the woman before him.
His shoulders shook with the gasps of breath that inhaled and exhaled from his lungs.
The Finnish man felt a warmth on his scalp.
He looked up to see the hand that was once stroking the hair of the boy was now stroking his as the same kind face she had for the boy was now smiling to him. His heart felt like it was going to burst. This is what he had wanted for so long, this feeling, this love. The love he could only get from his betrothed.
The sound of shoes approached and the other brothers had come up with the kids.
"There you are, Lillesøster. You scared us when you disappeared.," Magnus said and the female chuckled.
Loki stepped forward, "You found Aske, thank you Kanin."
The Norwegian took the boy from his sister and hugged the child, "Let's go home."

-

Malthe sat at a table with the others, he had told the rest of the Nordic five about what his daughter told him.
Norway was deep in thought as was most of them.
Denmark was confused, "Malthe. You say that Aske can be seen as Loki's biological son, why is that?"
Malthe looked down, "Because Loki saved Aske's mother by Giving her some of his body, his blood, His magic. he sacrificed part of himself to save a girl, the daughter of one of the cult members. In return, the child that girl gave birth to once she had a baby would be given to Loki to be his beneficiary. That child would have some of Loki's DNA in him as well, making him technically Loki's even if Loki was not the one the girl slept with."
The others listened.

"So that is the reason he is so protective of the child.," Norway said, "He was keeping a promise and the result of the promise safe."
"I already knew he was not truly a monster. He has love and care in him. Like his mother, he just wants to protect and care for those who can't for themselves.," Malthe explained with a bit of a smile, "He is a monster, yet is not. What a cruel fate it was to be born the dark side of a country."
"It's true. A lot of 2ps do act like assholes, but that was what they are supposed to do as 2ps, I don't want to wish their fates onto anyone.," Iceland said, "but their evil makes this world balanced and they are truly needed."
