What a discovery

Quite the discovery for Thor and Loki to find themselves on a planet strongly similar to Midgard in so many ways. The Autobots have no involvement what so ever with the two brothers landing on a planet that was made in case Earth had a certain end that left many hours to evacuate the planet even if saving it was their last choice.

Their sudden arrival had happened hours after dropping Ivy off on one of the ships carrying humans. Ivy had been so...silent. It is like she fell in a endless phase of darkness. To Loki it was only typical from a human seeing their homeworld die before their eyes.

Loki had checked if Ivy's mother was aboard any of the ships.

Christina is not aboard.

Christina had been either raptured or killed by the cyberformatting material.

Now Loki is in a city with a name ripped of the original New York City.

He's in New NEW york city with Thor.

"A medium?" Thor asks. "Why see a medium when there is Seers?"

"I have more questions than you have," Loki said. "And most of these seers on New Midgard are frauds or truly born with the gift to see the future." Loki points off to a store right across with the Psychic sign up. "I don't know how they were not raptured."

With a sigh Loki went through a open door and the bell chimed its usual ring.

The door slammed into Thor's face.

The Medium's store is cozy,comfy, and just very relaxing oriented.

"Hello?" Came the voice of a rather high pitched woman.

Loki looks up from the menu towards a woman in dark clothing and bad eyeliner.

"Miss Mix," Miss Mix said, holding her hand out. "Hmm..." She licks her lips. "You're that god?"

Loki shook her hand, just to be polite, with a fake smile.

"Not that god," Loki said. Loki points towards the door where we can see Thor is walking down the not so active roads towards the Psychic's store. "That god is outside going to the fake seer."

Miss Mix ends the handshake with a small laugh.

"The spirits tell me you're here for something," Miss Mix said, raising a brow. "Yet they give me no answer."

"It concerns...some one I knew." Loki said. "Someone I once had a relationship with."

Miss Mix's eyebrows rested.

"Right this way...." Miss Mix starts to say.

"Loki." Loki finishes for Miss Mix.

"Right this way, Mr Loki." Miss Mix said, pointing off to the doorway.

Miss Mix backs away under the curtain of beads and disappeared out of Loki's view. He looks towards the menu. The conversations with the 'beloved ones' cost one hundred two dollars. Is that how much they prize their conversations?, Loki thought holding his hand above the table, honestly this is very foolish making it a hundred.

A flash of green surfaced on the gray counter. In a moment or two the fog of green parts away leaving a one hundred dollar bill with two 1-dollar bills appeared on the counter. Very foolish but Loki had to know. Loki had the slightest of all suspicions.

Ivy survived the radioactive blast.

Just how much could this be real?

Loki apparates himself into the room where the Medium is in. Loki lands in a chair across from Miss Mix. In the middle of the room is a round table with a unique long colored cloth, a white circular piece of fabric in the middle, and deep scars all over the maroon room seemingly so real enough some demon could have done it. Of course the table has two chairs. It made Loki's stomach go into knots thinking what could have happened in here.

Cold chills went down Loki's arms.

Loki is not much of being the scared one.

Miss Mix closes her eyes.

"Her name," Miss Mix said.

"Christina Estep." Loki said.

"Her full name," Miss Mix said, raising her fingers upwards on the table as her elbows met the beautiful cloth.

"Christina Mary Estep." Loki said. "It concerns Ivy."

Miss Mix starts humming.

Loki looks around the room as the lights flickered, the dark vibe turns into a unsure mystifying kind of one, and the table shook. For once in his life Loki is scared what Miss Mix is actually summoning. Loki could not be sure if Miss Mix is summoning Christina or a pack of Fire Giants.

The candles went out in the room.

The room became much darker yet partially lit.

Miss Mix stops humming.

Miss Mix's blue eyes shot open.

Loki stares at Miss Mix for a while, unsure what to do at first, tilting his head to the side then flicks a pebble at Miss Mix's forehead.

The pebble lands in her lap.

"I could not help but see if you're faking," Loki said. "But apparently you're very good at it."

Miss Mix blinks.

"You threw a pebble at me," Miss Mix said. "Where am I?"

"New Midgard." Loki said.

"New...midgard?" Miss Mix said.

Loki nods.

"Yes," Loki said. "But you call it New Earth." He leans forward putting his hands together in a ball. "Do you know your name?"

"It starts with a C." Miss Mix said.

"Christina." Loki said.

Miss Mix's eyes froze.

"You called for me," Her voice changed to a scared and unsure one. Loki leans back taking his hands out of a ball. "Ivy....why does this concern Ivy?" She acts confused. "Has something happened to my Ivy?"

"No," Loki said. "She is fine." Loki shook his right hand. He places his had on the table. "I met Ivy."

Okay let's call Miss Mix 'Christina' for the time being.

Christina's face falters.

"Tell me you didn't kill our daughter." Christina said.

Loki taps his free fingers on the table.

"She's my daughter?" Loki said. "She looks mortal to be mine!"

"Oh god, you have." Christina said.

Loki sighs.

"Why did you never bother to tell me?" Loki asks. "That you, of all mortals I met, had my daughter."

"I had other kids after Ivy," Christina said. "One year after her and several years after that one." Christina's gaze turns towards the table briefly then turns her attention back towards Loki. "How does this concern our daughter?"

"Your daughter, not mine." Loki said.

"Loki," Christina said, with a growl. "Spill it."

"She got hit by a lethal dose of radiation," Loki said. "And came out fine."

"I remember that woman." Christina said.

"What woman?" Loki asks.

"The woman in the delivery room when I was in labor with Ivy," Christina said. "The other doctors didn't know her. She just...did something. She did something to my little girl while I had my hands on mom." Loki has a 'really?' reaction on his face with his arms folded. "Go on, tell me, what you're thinking."

"For eighteen years, as you're telling me, you've never thought much about 'that woman'." Loki said. "And as a result your daughter has been living as a mortal for most of her life...until yesterday."

"If you count singing at a young age, then yes." Christina said. "She lived like a human."

"The age of a child." Loki said.

"No," Christinia said. "Ivy started singing when she was three." A smile grew on her face. "She is your daughter, Loki, and I find it funny the last time I saw you when Dan was keeping me back and you went through a waterfall of sorts lights at the park."

"I do not see how it is funny." Loki said.

"I am the one dragged out of the light," Christina said. "Most of her life; Ivy believed she is the daughter of a truck driver." Christina leans forward. "Tell Ivy the truth," Christina takes Loki's right hand then smoothly feels along his baby soft hands. "I've missed you."

"That she is a Demigod?" Loki said. "Why would I?"

"Demigods can easily die if you've forgotten," Christina said, squeezing his hand. "Gods can't." Christina lets go of Loki's hand. "The power of radioactive blasts cannot kill you. It is weapons of Asgard and other godly individuals who can kill you."

Loki stares at Christina for awhile.

"She..." Loki is shocked. "Lost her god side and became a mortal at birth by a healer sent by Odin."

Christina tilts her head.

"He's still kicking?" Christina said.

"He never has." Loki said.

Christina has a short laugh straightening her head.

"The same man I met nineteen years ago," Christina said. "You haven't changed a bit."

Loki recalled the day he left Christina.

"You were pregnant with Ivy when I left," Loki said. "Is that what you wanted to tell me?" Loki raises his eyebrows. "That you were pregnant with my child growing inside?"

"Yes," Christina said, with a slow nod. "You didn't bother to stop and listen to me"

"Asgard and Jotunheim have a shaky truce," Loki said. Loki shook his head with a mighty sigh. "Someone had to come and clean up Thor's mess. " Christina looks at Loki with a dreamily sigh. "How many kids did you have after Ivy?"

"Three," Christina said. "Three beautiful kids; one girl and two boys."

"Ivy reminds me of you," Loki said. "Quite a lot."

"She has your eyebrows." Christina said.

"No, Christina, she has yours." Loki argues.

"Let's not argue about this; those eyebrows are yours." Christina said. A smile curls up on Christina's face. "I have to go now," Christina slides her hand away from Loki. "You make sure to tell Ivy the truth."

"Why not her 'other' father?" Loki asks.

"Dan was taken too..." Christina said. "Loki, Ivy is what you are, and when she discovers it for herself..." Christina pauses thinking about it. "She'll need some help learning how to use her power properly."

"What if I don't want to?" Loki asks.

"Loki, you're the only Frost Giant who's Ivy's father." Christina said. "I trust you."

Christina closes her eyes.

The room became lighter and the vibe became cozy.

"Miss Mix?" Loki said.

Miss Mix opens her eyes and a different smile spread on her face just not curly.

"The spirits are lighter this hour," Miss Mix said. She looks around like a curious child in a brand new room. "Christina is in a better place." She tilts her head noticing Loki's zoned out stare. "Is there something you didn't get to tell your loved one?"

The look on Loki's face went away.

"No," Loki lied, shaking his right hand. "I said all that I wanted."

Loki pushes the chair back, opting not to aparrate out of the room, and gets up from the chair.

Our view goes outside where Thor waits whistling by the medium's store door. Loki walks out the door that chimed startling Thor that he steps back looking for any sources of this sound holding up the hammer. At first Loki opts to turn himself into a kangaroo and hop away fast as he can from the magnificent idiot standing before him.

"That was the door, brother." Loki said.

"Oh," Thor said, lowering his hammer. "Thought it was a bomb ticker."

"You known every time a doorbell goes off a bomb does not start ticking everyday and eventually go off," Loki said. "Thor, you've been listening to Ironhide too much."

"Have not," Thor denies.

"Have too," Loki said. "I know when you've been skyping one of the Autobots when you start acting paranoid of every little sound."

"Well let me just tell you this fake seer said I would discover something so shocking I wouldn't be able to believe it at first and then to top it off something about a..." Loki ignores out the last part turning away from Thor rolling his eyes. "And a puppy! Can we get a puppy?"

Thor kept following alongside Loki.

"Oh brother," Loki said. "No, we're not getting a puppy!"

"Can we at least go to New New York State and have some mountain climbing?" Thor asks.

What the perfect way to leave Thor in the middle of no where covering his eyes until he fell asleep.

Appearing the next day on the exact time--that he had told Thor to cover his eyes--would be fun.

"I like the idea," Loki said, with a generous smile. "Sounds good to me."
