Epilogue - The line is drawn
...2039..
...Los Angeles...
"Sci, there is one thing you don't know about your dad," Loki said.
"What is it?" Sci said.
"I am Iron Man," Loki said, with a grin on his face.
"NAH UH!" Sci said.
"So do," Loki said.
"But Iron Man is Tony Stark," Sci said.
"We are here," Knight said, stopping at a cemetery.
10 long years it has been since the war ended.
Knight and Loki decided to take on the last name Wright because it was so strange, absurd, and unique. It described their family to a tea. Knight stops the car in a parking lot right in front of a cemetery that housed numerous graves to who soldiers who fell in action eventually never getting back up on their feet. Loki uses magic to open the car, unbuckles his seat, and gets out of the car with a cane helping him to keep balance.
"Dad, you're a storyteller, not a soldier," Sci said.
"Sci, once upon a time I was," Loki said. "So was your mother."
Sci has curly orange hair and he is the their son.
"I was," Knight said, softly. "But now we are in a much more better time."
The family of three gets out of the car.
"Hah, conspiracy," Sci said.
"Not a conspiracy," Knight said.
"If there was a war then there would surely be left behind remains of the dark past," Sci said.
Knight and Loki share a concerned look.
"Come on," Loki said. "We have a grave to visit."
"Who's grave?" Sci asks, as they walk to the gates.
"Someone we both knew very well," Knight said.
Loki nods.
"Let them rest in piece," Loki said, and with a snap of his fingers the gates are open. "Ah, doesn't it look so welcoming?"
"Not really," Sci said.
"Let's visit the grave," Knight said, taking Sci by the hand.
The family walk through the cemetery while Loki stares down the statues as though they can move on their own. Sci looks at his father ever so strangely for doing this kind of stunts. Usually when his father did that there is a usually fair crowd of stare-goers where ever they go that involves statues. His father clearly must be insane. At least that is how Sci views his almost too loving father in public.
There is a strange man with golden locks at a grave with a apologetic and pathetic face.
Loki puts his hand in the way.
"Let me talk to him," Loki said.
Knight hid Sci behind her.
"Maaa," Sci said. "What's the matter?"
"Stay behind me," Knight said.
Loki went over to the man.
"Why are you here?" Loki asks. "I thought we came to an agreement I disowned you."
"Brother, you can't always hold that grudge over me," Thor said.
"Yes, I can," Loki said.
"The way things turned out says it was meant to happen," Thor said.
"People died because you refused to help the survivors," Loki said. "I wish I can but I can't."
"Maybe your son has the heart to do what you can't," Thor suggests.
That enraged Loki.
"That is not even possible," Loki said. "To my child; the war never happened."
"What is his name?" Thor asks.
"Sci," Loki said. "Short for Science."
"That is a lame name," Thor said.
Loki frowns.
"The best I can think of," Loki said. "What bring you to this realm?"
Thor sighs.
"Asgard," Thor said.
"Asgard, for the second time, does not need me," Loki said.
"Yes, on the contrary, it does," Thor said. "Under my rule Asgard has fallen to ruins."
"That's not problem," Loki said. "I am not the heir to the throne."
Loki starts to turn around but Thor grabs him by the wrist.
"This time I am taking you back!" Thor said. "Heimdall, take us to Asgard!"
"No!" Loki shouts.
"Sorry!" Thor apologizes. "We have somethings to sort out!"
Sci is stunned to see his father disappear in a flash of light.
"Come here," Knight said, guiding Sci to a grave.
"Who is so important?" Sci asks.
"You'll see," Knight said.
The two stop at a grave:
Here lies the loving mother,
Sarah Connor.
November 13, 1965 - January 1st, 1996.
"Gee, you're an oldy," Sci said.
"I am a Asgardian," Knight said. "At least was," Sci raises eyebrows. "I have to show you something and your father will at least attempt to explain."
"What?" Sci asks.
Knight kneels down to Sci.
"This..." Knight said, as her skin turns blue and her eyes change the color of red. "This is what I am."
"Whaaat?" Sci said, in total shock.
"Your father and I met a long time ago," Knight explains. "You are the heir to a great realm, at least two of them, and quite possibly..." She clears her throat. "Our first child." She pats on her small stomach that is rounded. "You are going to be a big brother and I want you to do know. Nothing will ever replace you."
Sci hugs Knight.
"Better keep your word, ma," Sci said.
Oh, yes, John Connor is currently President of the United Nations.
"Oh, I will," Knight said, closing her eyes letting out a tear.
Loki would return; in about two days, with news of his reluctant coronation.
The End.
