Knight arrives to her flat pretty scared. She came to the door fumbling with the keys in her hands trembling. Knight drops the keys to the blue rug beneath her shoes. She crouches down towards the floor then picks up the set of key and gets upright. She puts the key into the keyhole, unlocks the door, and enters the apartment quickly closing the door behind her. Knight locks the door in fear.  Why would a god be afraid of a metal man? Well, he had made quite the impression.

"You know," Knight heard Loki's formal Asgardian voice. "It has been a long time since I have seen you afraid."

Knight turns away from the door.

"I did not give you permission to enter my home!" Knight shouts.

Loki is sitting in a chair holding a small notebook.

"You didn't tell me why you went up and left fifty years ago," Loki said. "Fifty long years."

Knight rolls an eye.

"Fifty years ago?" Knight said. "You haven't gotten over that?"

"A man does not get over someone going against their word," Loki said.

Knight sighs.

"So you tracked me down for that?" Knight asks, angered.

"No," Loki said, in a low voice.

"I do not believe you," Knight said, in disbelief.

Loki rolls an eye.

"Knight, I was bored," Loki said. "And came across this...Tavern."

"The Dance Party," Knight corrects Loki.

"Yes, whatever you call it," Loki said. "And then I saw him, a authority figure this realm refers to, approaching but his arm changed." Loki puts the notebook down on the table. "It changed! Arms do not change so quickly for a mortal unless they were not. Once I saw what he had done, you frozen in fear, I decided to take a shot."

"So you apparently, and coincidentally, found your way to the Dance Party," Knight said. "Before the attack of a alien guy."

"Yes," Loki said.

Knight is skeptical.

"Is this one of your lies?" Knight asks.

"I do not expect you to believe me, at first," Loki said.

"Ah ha," Knight said, as a smirk grew. "So it was a trick!"

"No," Loki said, shaking his head. "I would never do that to you."

Knight puts her hands on her hips.

"Where is Elizabeth?" Knight asks, narrowing her eyes towards Loki.  "Is she hiding?'"

Loki sighs.

"Well, you just seem to have lost a 'friend' and was set a target by a liquid human," Loki said, putting the notebook on the table. "I have met a man who calls himself a Terminator," Loki stands up. "I come across a man who can repair himself with metal," Loki gestures over towards the book. "And now I see you are working on a product not of this era."

Knight takes her hands off her hips.

"I was caught off guard," Knight said, as her attitude changes to a 'So it wasn't a trick'. "I have my moments."

"I believe there is a connection between all of this," Loki said.

"Fifty years and still haven't changed," Knight said.

"Hey, I was there!" Loki said. "And you didn't keep your end of it."

"Did too," Knight said.

"Did not," Loki said.
