AN1: Hiya guys, so sorry for the wait.  I didn't count on being so busy today. Rest assured I haven't forgotten you guys. Now shall we get the show on the road? ;)

Chapter 5

As Heather finished her story she looked around at all the slack jaws of not only her friends but also of the Asgardians. "Jerry transformed?!" Frey asked astonished as his brows shot up.

"That's what she said you nimrod." His sword sighed wearily. "Why do you have to repeat the information after hearing it?"

"Why do you have to be such a smartass sword." Frey grumbled.

"Well why do yo-You two can hash it out later!" Frigg interrupted just as the door slammed open and Dagur and Meixui walked inside. Or rather Dagur rushed inside and enveloped his sister in a hug while Meixiu was nearly trampled.

"SIS OH MY GOD! ARE YOU ALRIGHT?!" Dagur was still hugging her and when he pulled back he added "Cute dress by the way."

"I'm alright. I wasn't hurt." Heather answered. "And thanks."

"We were listening at the door since Dagur didn't want to interrupt your story." Meixiu added as Dagur kept trying to shush her. "I have to admit I didn't think Jerry would be..... You know..." She gestured with her hands.

"No we don't know!" Snotlout groaned. "Can someone please elaborate?!!" Valka rolled her eyes just as Gobber asked "He's kidding right?"

"Nope, this is totally Snotman." Tuffnut laughed. "Dude, we pretty much figured it out yesterday from all the little clues scattered about."

"You were the only one still guessing names." Ruffnut laughed as well.

"Guysssss" Snotlout whined as Fishlegs next to him rolled his eyes. "Come on, just tell me!"

"Snot, how much do you know of Norse mythology?" Hiccup asked when he noticed everyone's exasperation.

"I'm a security guard....... Wait.... Well I was a security guard." Snotlout huffed. "The rest of you are the archeologists."

"We were janitors and we knew." The twins piped up.

"That's because you worship Loki!" Dagur shot back as the twins gave them thumbs up.

"Okay Snot, follow me on this." Hiccup said as he looked at the shorter man. "Jerry is a nickname for Jörmungandr, the Midgard serpent and son of Loki and Angrboða."

"Uhuh...." Snotlout nodded along before something clicked. "Wait........ Son of Loki?!!" he then turned towards Frigg and Thor with eyes widened. "Then he's your...." He pointed at Thor. "And your...." He then pointed at Frigg. Both Asgardians nodded.

"Okay....." Frey interrupted. "So we've established familial ties. Can we get back to the fact that Jerry transformed?!"

"Why is that such a big deal?" Stoick asked as he looked to be deep in thought.

"The guy never transforms!" Frey gesture wildly. "Well, not since he started living here in the city at least."

"Why is that?" Astrid asked with a frown as something didn't quite add up.

"It's an old story." Frigg stated. "You all might as well know since it is common knowledge around here. Once, Odin decided to name the heir to the throne of Asgard in a ceremony at the end of the year. Naturally the people loved Thor and as the first-born he would have been the obvious choice but Thor, in his father's eyes, was still a child, too hot-headed for his own good. Loki was the one Odin would have named as heir if he hadn't withdrawn from the selection."

"Why did Loki withdraw?" Astrid asked as everyone was wondering the same thing.

"He found out that we were not brothers." Thor sounded miserable when telling them that. "I of course tried to make him see reason. He is my brother, blood or not."

"Yes...." Frigg continued. My Loki felt that Asgard needed a blood relative on the throne. He also knew how the people thought of him as a trickster. My son left Asgard on the eve of the ceremony but we still leave a place at our side for him if he decides to return one day. Thor however can tell you more of the events that occurred."

"After father named me Crown Prince..." Thor took over from his mother "I of course tried to seek Loki out. We might have been at odds on several occasions but what brothers aren't." Thor frowned at the next part "My brother's magic is strong and not even Heimdall could get an exact location on him. Then one day in the town square, in front of most of the court, a seer had a vision. She prophesied that my brother would be in the embrace of a serpent that would one day end my life. And naturally the story spread. When I finally encountered Loki, he had been conversing with Jörmungandr in his serpent form."

"And you just had to hit first and ask questions later." Frigg huffed in an unqueen-like fashion.

"Mother, I have since then mended my ways." Thor proclaimed even as his cheeks reddened somewhat. "But yes, it turned into a misunderstanding. I thought the sea serpent was going to injure Loki and Jerry thought I was there to drag Loki back to Asgard. We ended up in a bit of a scuffle." At this statement Frigg actually rolled her eyes as if saying that it was more than a bit. "When Loki had finally gotten both of us to settle down he introduced us. Needless to say I was surprised. Besides nursing a foal back to health I had never thought my brother wanted children and here I learned that he had two. But that is a story for Jerry to tell you another time." Thor told them seriously. "When we were both sufficiently recovered I offered Jerry a place in Asgard to let him know his other family members. He accepted but the damage had already been done. Word got around fast that he was a serpent and people naturally distrusted him."

"Why does Jerry stick around then if people don't like him?" Hiccup asked. "Wouldn't it be reasonable for him to go back?"

"He does go back to visit my brother but he has decided to stay in Asgard." Thor told them. "He's the only one who knows where Loki now is and he refuses to tell us that."

"Jerry stays to practice." Thrud suddenly spoke up causing all the adults to look at her. The little redhead swung her legs too and fro before explaining "Jerry told me that uncle Loki said that he should practice his trickery more and give as good as he gets." This elicited a groan out of Thor who mumbled "Please don't tell me that he was behind the giant turtle in the ambassador's suite."

"Alright, I won't tell you." Thrud giggled.

There was a knock on the door of Thor's room and once opened a timid-looking man addressed the group "The healers have done all they can." The man stated. "They think that he will make a full recovery but there might be some nerve damage to his shoulder."

Frigg nodded before asking "Can we see him now?"

"The healers are allowing visitors yes but one or two people at a time." The man answered.

"Very well." Frigg stated as she began following the man. The others followed as well and the man led them to a nondescript room further in the healers' area and left after bowing upon their arrival. "Let me go in first to see how he's doing." Frigg told the group who of course nodded. Frigg opened the door and then gently closed it. The group waited and jumped as they didn't expect such a loud voice to be emanating from the other side "Jörmungandr what in the nine realms were you thinking?! Taking on territorial male Razorwhips!! Just wait until your grandfather hears about this!"

Meanwhile in an undisclosed location two individuals were conversing. "Do you think this will work?" One asked as they looked at the object that they had been handed moments before. "Ye of little faith." The other answered. "All shall go according to plan." There was a rustle causing the men to look at the newcomer.

"Oh it's you." The person who had spoken too stated.

"Gentlemen, I hope everything is satisfactory?" The newcomer asked, his icy blue eyes blazing.

"It is." The second person confirmed. "Soon Sutr will have his lover back, you will have your revenge, and Asgard........ Will be ours."

Friends: "At least tell us we get the details on the Loki, Jerry, and Angrboða relationship!"

Me: (mischievous smirk) "Maaaaaybe, it actually depends on the readers if I'm going to include that." (Turns to readers, breaking the 4th wall) "All of you heard that right? Let me know what you think."

Friends: (facepalming) "Oh Thor"

Thor: "You called?"

Everyone: "No!"
