Loki sat by on the porch of his house, twisting a single red rose in his hand, he remembered how he would search the woods for one. The largest one to place in her long dark hair.

" Come on Loki, it's time for you to prove to me that I was not at fault for trusting you, " Thor said, keeping a comforting hand on his shoulder.

Loki leaned instinctively, but then stopped. He vanished the rose and turned to Thor, " You have to be sure, you will not babble this to the 'Avengers' " Loki cringed, " Till I let you. Don't do it. " He answered, vanishing the rose.

" You can trust me brother, " Tjor winked, " I am not like you, " He clapped Loki's back, " What happened, what happened between you two, what happened in the void-"

" - yes Thor, one question at a time!" Loki answered, shifting away wearily.

But while the brothers discussed this on the porch of the house, Damon stared at them, observing.

Loki, in his eyes was right. Why would he, a god care about the mortal world. He had no motive. He wasn't an idiot to enter a fight he would overpower and not even break a sweat. He wouldn't.

He has to have someone.

But the fact that he still agreed, let him put the slightest of trust in the situation.

Looking at them, he recalled the time when he and his brother sat around just like this.

Stefan, Stefan and Damon Salvatore. The Salvatore brothers who were played by the enigma, Katherine Pierce.

Damon would always blame her for ruining his life. If she wasn't there, he wouldn't have been alive on this earth for 170 years.

" We shall go with you, provided - " Thor began when Loki held him off.

" We are going to help you, out of the good of our heart, " Loki smiled, though it didn't reach his eyes, sarcasam dripping from them.

"Woah man, no need to be so snarky -" Damon began, clapping Loki's back, but shuffled back against Loki's cold gaze.

" Lead the way mortal. " Thor said, walking ahead when Loki dragged him back.

" Do you want the people to identify you? " He chided, closing his eyes.

In a moment, a flash of green light enveloped the brothers. Loki emerged wearing an emaculate three piece blace suit.

"LOKI! " Thor's enraged voice made Loki smirk as he took in his brother's garb. A bright yellow shirt, satin, to shine against the sun, while it was a Scottish kilt, but, it was to his knees, dare Damon say, above them.

" Change them at once! " He ordered Loki who his a Cheshire grin.

He sobered, " Of course brother. " He waved his hand callously, " I should have known the yellow would clash against your blonde. One moment. " But the end was rather more hilarious then what they started with and Damon couldn't hold his laughter.

" Oh - my -" He heaved, " Oh I wish my brother had your sense of humor, he's always ' I'm hero hair Stefan -" The laughter died in his throat as Thor's glare fell on him.

"Brother -" Thor groused, staring down at the magenta pink feathers he now wore.

" Come along brother." Loki said, " We wouldn't want to be late-"

"Loki! " Thor yelled, even as his clothes changed to a subtle suit, blue and white.

︻

" Where are we -" Loki asked as the stood in front of a large house. It was a large estate, with steep roofs and brick walls of red, doors which gave it an old-world charm. It's dark roof loomed over, as if threatening all those who passed by.

" This is my home. The Salvatore Boarding House. " Damon said, though there wasn't much fondness in his tone.

" Brother, are you ready? " Thor asked Loki, his voice grim.

The snark in Loki's throat died. He may show bravado now, for he hadn't seen her in ages. But he knew for sure. Her face would bring back more than it should. More than needed.

But Loki could not be weak. If Thanos were to be believed, he would hurt half the world. Regardless of how they ended, she was half of his world. He couldn't let her suffer.

" Yes brother. Let us meet min ód . " He said, walking behind Damon.

The doors creaked open, revealing a large home. A comfortable hearth burnt in the centre of the room, sofas surrounded the coffee table. Muffled voices could be heard when the others all looked up.

They all sat there. But there was she. In a corner, her hair were straight. Unusual. Katerina never wore straight hair. She wore a simple top with a cardigan, with blue trousers.

" Loki," Thor whispered, " Is it her? "

Loki couldn't believe it. He walked over, as choruses rang across the room, while the girl shuffled back.

That is when Loki stopped. He stared into her eyes and his went wide with rage.

" Where is she! " Loki yelled, while Damon's eyes blazed. He zipped in front of his girlfriend.

" Elena Gilbert, meet Loki, God of Mischief. Loki. Meet Elena. My brother's girlfriend. " He said, though he held his tongue against saying more.

Another man, with warm chestnut hair walked ahead to the girl.

" Hi, I am Stefan Salvatore-"

" Save the pleasantries for later mortal, " Loki's eyes sought Damon, " Where is she, who is this. Why do they look alike -"

" -is he, is he looking for Katherine?" A shy voice said. Loki looked behind the two boys, the girl from before. Elena. " Why - why do you need Katherine - "

" Katerina. Where is she. Do not test my patience girl where is she -" Loki winced when he felt a sudden sharp headache, turning around to see a woman with her hands held up, as if performing magic. While he did recover soon enough, he could see the magic she held.

" Bonnie -" Damon warned. The woman, as if emboldened by his words tried again. But this time, " Aah! " She shouted in pain, gasping as she held her throat.

" What are you doing to her! " Two women screamed, when Loki shook his head, " You use the magic I gave you to threaten me. Is this what the mortals have come to Thor? I am Loki. I am the master Sorcerer. You dare to use my magic on me? "

" Loki." She called, his heart studded to a halt, the anger evaporated to a new emotion.

He didn't dare look, for he feared her to be a hallucination.

That is until, he felt her hand, her soft, small hand run down his arm.

" Oh Loki. Even now you pester the mortals. Don't you -" But her tirade was stopped as he held her hands, throwing her away.

" Well, that's not a nice way to meet your ex girlfriend is it? " She smirked, her hair fell down in ringlets, just as they did. She wore a dark red lip, lined eyes. Her sultry eyes still called to him, years later.

But he held his calm, he had more pressing matters. He was proven right though, he knew he couldn't control himself in front of her. All the pain, the love, the anger rushed back into his heart as he saw her, sauntering over to him.

" Tch, " She said then turned to the other people in the room, " People, this is Loki Odin -" His glare made her smirk, " Loki Laufeyson. He is the God of Mischief and my friend. " She said, her eyes glinting with chaos.

" Why do you and Lady Elena look alike, Lady Katerina? " Thor cut in, confusion rampant across his face.

" All shall be explained. Loki -" But Loki couldn't bear it.

" You are here? What are you doing here? " He asked, grabbing her elbow violently.

" Well, it is my home, you know how it is. The things we did here, " She smirked, while the others in the room cringed.

" Oh? For I seem to have very different memories of this room. I seem to recal a dagger stabbed into my back, " He dared.

" Uhh guys -"

" - shut up Stefan. " Katerina cut off, then looked up at Loki.

He was still just as tall, yet the years had made him wiser. His youthful face now carried lines of worry. His gleaming green eyes we're now dark and murky. " You're still so beautiful," She mumbled to him, while he stiffened. His eyes glazed over, before he shook himself out of the haze.

" I have no care for this. I have no care for you, " Loki lied through his teeth, " Just tell me how my brother and I may assist you and we will be on our merry way. " Loki said sternly.

But no matter how hard he pried his eyes off her, they made it back, staring at her. She had grown. Somehow more beautiful than when he met her. Maybe it was the midgardian style.

" Right. " Stefan straigntened and began to recite the problem.

Klaus Mikaelson. The first generation vampire. He and his brothers and sister were the original. The first vampires to walk this Earth. All vampires now were sired from them. They were all under him and his family.

" But what is so special about this Klaus man, " Thor cut in, " He seems to be a vampire. "

" He is a hybrid. " Katerina finally cut in, her eyes sharp, " He needs to sacrifice one doppelganger, aka me or 'Saint Elena' to break his curse. The curse will allow him to become what he truly is. A vampire and a wolf. " She said.

While Loki tried, he couldn't help but stare at her. She still had the same fire in her voice, if not stronger. The same smirk that he kussed away, the same smile that made his day.

As the others walked out, clearly weary of the gods. Loki's hand shot out to hers.

" What is it Loki, why -" She couldn't say a word as she was pulled close, his hands settled on her shoulders..

" Are you, are you alright, " He asked, no one was in the room. He could see every freckly under her cheek. Her dark, fierce eyes.

" I am, " She wrenched out of his hold. " My life didn't end when you left -"

" - I left! " Loki said, anger bled into his tone, " I sincerely recall otherwise. "

" No, you don't recall your insecurity, your- " Her eyes blazed, she poked a hand into his chest which he caught, dragging her close.

" -I recall everything. I recall how I gave my love, my support and you abandoned me for a mortal. I lost to a mortal -" His eyes glassed, but he blinked back the tears.

" - I didn't leave you! I simply -"

" - uhh. Loki. Katherine. Your brother wants to see you." A young girl walked in, she had blonde hair, short but adorable. She had a spark in her, something Loki admired.

" Who is she, I heard you hurt other men too - "

" -she claimed to love them, " The girl cut in, " Stefan and Damon,if that's what you mean. I still believe it was manipulation -"

" Katerina Petrova cannot love. She doesn't know the meaning of love. She doesn't know what love entails. All she looks for is her survival. " Loki answered, eyes cold as they stared at his love.

" I did love, once. " She whispered, looking up at Loki. " Maybe it wasn't meant to -"

" - you didn't let me.. If you had we wouldn't be having this conversation now. " He looked up at the girl.

" Your name? " He asked.

" C- caroline. " She stuttered out.

" Lead the way Caroline. "
