Lost and Found

Chapter One: Making Memories, Making Friends

Whoo! I finally got around to working on this story. Sorry for making you wait for this (if you were anticipating this story). This is a sequel to Resurrection and 'Til Death Do We Meet. If you read those two first (especially Resurrection) some things will make more sense. I know that I'm not the most descriptive author, so the characters might not be described as well in this story since it is a sequel. If not, I hope I explained things well enough. I also didn't know whether or not to consider this a crossover or just one category. Besides all that, enjoy! :)

Chapter One: Making Memories, Making Friends

Loki wandered the streets wearing a black leather jacket over a dark green hoodie with black jeans and high tops. It was a year after The Snap, but the damage was still affecting people. Laws were stricter and enforced more. People who suspected strange and alien activity had to report it to the authorities. Those with enhanced abilities had to be registered through the Sokovia Accords.

Loki had recently bought a home near Seattle, Washington in hopes to live a regular life. So far the Avengers and the law hadn't noticed and his kids were fitting in perfectly. Thor had promised to keep quiet about his location. Even Jormungandr (the one who was always last to agree to things unless it involved fighting) said that he liked the place, mostly because of a huge skateboard park near their two-story, Villa-style home.

The house was located in a small residential part of Seattle, Washington. A few trees decorated the front lawn. The house faced the north and the street after driving up a long driveway. There was a fence around it to keep out trespassers and anyone else who was unwanted. The house had a decent-sized pool in the large backyard and a basketball hoop in the front yard. There was a dining room, two master bedrooms and bathrooms, two bedrooms upstairs with two more on the main level. Two more bathrooms were located with one on each level. The living room was connected with the kitchen. There was a downstairs, but it was empty and they still had yet to find a purpose for it. The garage was large enough to fit three vehicles comfortably. Overall, it was a fairly expensive house, but it fit for a prince.

Loki had woken up extra early that morning to check out the area; seeing the sights and finding out spots that were safe for his family to go without starting a fight (sorry Jormungandr) or getting caught by police. He had spent a couple hours walking around the city and it was getting close to noon, so he headed back home.

"By the Norns! I need to learn how to drive," Loki thought, his right knee hurting from when he dislocated it earlier that year.

Loki turned a corner and smacked right into another man. He was wearing a gray jacket and a black baseball cap pulled low over his eyes.

"Sorry," the man grunted and avoiding eye contact, left quickly enough to cause Loki to become suspicious.

"I wonder what he's up too?" Loki thought and stared at the man's tense shoulders. Loki caught a glint of silver where the man's left hand should've been.

"Huh," Loki said and turned back the direction he was originally facing.

Needless to say, Loki was fitting right in.

Loki was barely inside the door when he was greeted by a kiss on the cheek from his girlfriend, Sigyn. Her violet eyes were shining brightly with untold news.

"Guess what happened!" Sigyn said.

"I don't know. What?" Loki asked as he shrugged off his hoodie.

Sigyn rolled her eyes. "Guess, silly."

Loki thought for a moment. "You managed to find a school that all four of the kids actually agree on?"

"No, not yet," Sigyn answered and grinned, showing off her cute dimples. "I got accepted to work as a clinical nurse specialist!" She whipped out a folder from behind her back.
