Bella and Lavinia sat next to Odin, watching the play. Bella and Lavinia looked at each other, hating the play.
Everyone except the two girls clapped. "I don't think these are trained actors", Bella said. Lavinia shook her head.
"Father".
Bella, Lavinia and Odin looked at Thor. Bella and Lavinia stood up and wrapped their arms around him.
"My son, Thor has returned", Odin announced. "Greetings, my boy".
"Interesting play. What's it called",Thor asks.
"The Tragedy Of Loki Of Asgard. The people wanted to commemorate him".
"Indeed they should", Thor says. "Oh, I like the statue. Lot better looking then when he was alive. A little less weasley, less greasy maybe. Do you know what this is?"
Thor holds up a skull. Bella and Lavinia looked at it.
"A demon", Bella guessed.
"Krampus", Lavinia said.
"The devil".
"Satan".
"Santa!" Bella guessed. Lavinia looked at her in confusion.
"I don't know who that is. I haven't spent much time on Earth", Lavinia said.
"Girls, It's the skull of Surtur. A formidable weapon", Odin says.
"Do me a favor. Lock this away in the vault so it doesn't turn into a giant monster and destroy the whole planet", Thor says as he gives the Skull to a guard.
"So it's um back to Midgard for you, is it?"
"Nope. I've been having this reoccurring dream lately. Every night, I see Asgard falling into ruins", Thor said.
"It's just a silly dream, signs of an overactive imagination", Odin said.
"I haven't seen it so maybe he's right. Maybe there is nothing to worry about", Bella said.
"Possibly. But then I decide to go out there and investigate. And what do I find, but the Nine Realms completely in chaos. Enemies of Asgard assembling, plotting our demise all while you, Odin, the protector of those Nine realms, are sitting here in your bathrobe, eating grapes", Thor says.
"And watching plays", Bella added.
"Yes, it is best to respect our neighbor's freedom", Odin said.
"Yes, of course. The freedom to be massacred".
"Yes, besides, I've been rather busy myself".
"No, he hasn't", Bella said.
"Board meetings, security council meetings-"
"You're really gonna make me do it?"
"Do what?"
Thor throws Mjolnir. "Uncle, what are you about to do?" Bella asked.
Thor puts his hand behind Odin's neck. "You know that nothing will stop Mjolnir. As it returns to my hand, not even your face", Thor says.
"You've gone quite mad. You'd be executed for this", Odin says.
"I'll see you on the other side...brother".
Bella looked at them in shock. She looked back at Lavinia. She looked down at the ground. "Lavinia? Is that really Dad?" Bella asked.
"Alright, I yield!" Odin moved away from Thor and turned into Loki. Everyone gasps. Bella looked at him in shock.
Skurg came in. He seemed out of breath. "Behold!...Thor...Odinson!".
Loki snaps his fingers to silence Skurg. He turns around to face him. "You had one job. Just the one", Loki says.
"Where's Odin?" Thor asks.
"You just couldn't stay away, could you? Everything was fine without you. Asgard was prospering. You've ruined everything", Loki says.
"Dad, why would you do this?" Bella asked. She looked at Lavinia. "Did you know about this?"
"Revna-"
"It's Bella! And I don't want to hear what you have to say!" Bella said angrily. She looked at Lavinia. "Answer me, Lavinia. Did you know about this?"
"Yes. I did", Lavinia said.
"Oh god. No. No, oh god", Bella said before she ran away.
"Bella", Thor said, but Bella didn't want to hear it.
"Dad, tell us where he is", Lavinia said.
"I'm fine", Loki said.
"Where's father?" Thor asks as he walks toward him. Loki steps backwards. "Did you kill him?"
"They had their differences, but he wouldn't do that", Lavinia said.
"You had what you wanted. You had the independence you asked for",Loki says. Thor lays his hammer on Loki's chest.
"Ow, Ow, Ow. Okay. I know exactly where he is".

Lavinia knocked on Bella's bedroom door. Thor and Loki stood beside her. Bella opened the door. She walked away from the door and grabbed her black scarf.
"You guys need to stop with the lying. My whole life, lies have been told. From my parents, from me, from... How can I trust you, Lavinia, if you lie to me?" Bella asked. Bella puts on a brown leather jacket.
"Look, I was going to tell you", Lavinia said.
"What happened to 'Yay Sisters' or 'Be honest with each other'? That wasn't your secret to keep. You think I haven't suffered enough from being on the run?"
"What are you running from?" Thor asked.
"Everything! The police, galactic threats who wants to kill me, Secretary Ross. Nowhere is safe. And where are all of you?"
"Well I remember you pushed me away!" Lavinia shouted.
"You teamed up with Ross, the jerk who hates me because of my heritage and I said I was sorry!" Bella said. Bella grabbed her black beanie. It had spikes on it. Bella puts it on.
"I swear I was gonna tell you".
"Well you didn't do it fast enough".
"I can't predict the future like you. I'm sorry, Bella. I don't know what else you want me to say because you are so stubborn".
"I learned from my big sister", Bella said with a smirk.
"Are you coming with us or not?"
"Why do you think I'm putting on these gloves?" Bella asked as she puts on black fingerless gloves.
"For murder", Lavinia said. Bella looked at her in confusion.
"Where did that come from?" Bella asked. "Forget it. Let's go, children".
"Wait, wait, wait", Thor said. "Bella, where did you get that?" He pointed at the brown leather jacket.
"I found it in a room while I was wandering around the castle", Bella said. Lavinia looked down sadly. Bella noticed her expression. "If you want, I can take it off".
"No. It looks good on you", Lavinia said. "It's just...the jacket belonged to Aunt Regina".
"I'm sorry. I don't remember her", Bella said.
"There's no way you would've remembered her. She left before you were born", Thor said.
Bella nodded. "Let's get to Earth", Bella said.
