A unique man

...2 days after landing in California and making the airplane perform a show that included ballet...

..2:45 PM...

A man resembling Gus stood at the door holding the Mjolnir in a suit similar to the one used in Tron except it is more science fiction and casual appealing. He has broad shoulders, a load of freckle, big ears, and gentle blue crystal eyes. What raised alarms in my mind is him holding the Mjolnir.

"Sir, I am Shawn, just Shawn," Shawn said. "I am the very great grandson of Thor Odinson and I have heard much about you."

I stare at Shawn.

"No," I said. "You do not."

"You are Loki," Shawn said. "And you just retired from being king."

"How do you know that?" I ask.

"You wouldn't be here if you were king," Shawn said. "And Midgard needs a little of your help."

"Define 'a little' help," I said.

"You know about the scepter?" Shawn asks.

"Yes," I said.

"It is in the hands of someone very...close to SHIELD," Shawn said. "And they are using it to bring in an invasion."

I fold my arms.

"Answer my question." I said. "How are you wielding the hammer?"

"I am an Asgardian," Shawn said.

"You are not," I said.

"Yes, I am," Shawn said.

"You are from Midgard," I said.

"That I am," Shawn said.

"But you are not immortal," I said.

"Yes, I am," Shawn said.

"How old are you?" I ask.

"1,399 years," Shawn said. He looks over towards the Mjolnir. "Come on, stop making these comments about labradoodles being ugly!" Shawn shook the hammer giving it a glare. "I know you too like cute dogs, Mjolnir."

"Loki, who is it?" Knight asks.

"Shawn Thorson," I said. "I thought the scepter had been taken care of."

"So did SHIELD," Shawn said, nodding.

"Who has the scepter now?" I ask.

"Tonya Stark," Shawn said.

"...Seriously?" I ask.

Shawn has a serious look on his face.

"Seriously," Shawn said.

Knight came over and then a big squeal came out.

"OH MY STARS BURTON GUSTER!" Knight squeals.

"I am not Burton Guster," Shawn said. "My name is Shawn of Midgard."

"You know your realms," I said.

"I did my research after learning my heritage," Shawn said.

Knight came back with a list and a pen.

"Met an unique man with the hammer; check!" Knight said, checking off a box on the list. "Next we are turning the statue of Liberty around and decorating Alcatraz in birthday decorations."

"After a little of your help," Shawn said.

I turn my head towards Knight.

"It is happening again," I said. "History is repeating itself."

"But this time it is not from Asgard," Knight said.

"That is correct," I said. "It is from Midgard."

"Tonya Stark," Shawn said.

I and Knight face towards Shawn.

"Anything we do in exchange for your service; we get full immunity for anything we do on our bucket list," I said.

"The nations can agree on those terms," Shawn said.

"And burn our bodies on the ocean," Knight said. "If we die naturally and not aboard a burning cruise ship."

"...Woah," Shawn said. "You think ahead."

"It is very logical with Midgard's common burning cruises incidents," I note.

"We have logic on our side," Knight said. "What about you?"

"You two," Shawn said. "You just said it happening again. It sounds you are really what Midgard needs in terms of help."

Damn, and we didn't know what the invasion is from!
