Chapter Twenty-One: Upheaval

    The morning was quiet and far too still. Just the fact that their small army was taking so well to being trained should have been a huge red flag that something was about to go terribly wrong. Let alone how little tension there was in the air despite the very good possibility of a war coming. A war that none of them had any true hope of winning if they pulled back and really looked at the situation. They were asking several million humans to go against an army of Gods. The only thing they could hope for was that some of the Asgardians would turn on Odin out of simple disgust. Looking back on things, Lissa could only curse herself for not sensing something was coming.
    She had been watching Loki train his army of fans with a mixture of bemusement and sadness. With the way they either tripped over themselves or dropped their weapons, things didn’t look good. Yet they were willing to learn and had even seemed to get over their jealousy for the most part. As for the others, Thor and Jeremy were taking care of them; each group testing who was good with what discipline or weapon. Some of them had already shown a slight proficiency for magic, a pleasant surprise for everyone involved. Maybe, with some work, they might be able to use simple spells to defend themselves or heal others.
    Taking up her own weapon, the brunette began to practice her footwork and well as her follow through. As much as her lover protested, she knew she needed to be prepared to protect herself as well as those she cared about. She had also learned she was fairly adept at swords and she had picked up the basics fairly easily. She had been in the middle of performing a very complicated maneuver when it happened. People were laughing, practicing and even getting to know people from other countries they would have otherwise never met. Then there was a burst of almost blinding light as Heimdall appeared in front of them.
    Towering over them easily and made all the more intimidating by the golden armor he wore, the gatekeeper of Asgard looked over the crowd of Midgardians before focusing his golden gaze on Frigga. In a couple long strides, the bronze skinned male closed the amount of distance between him and the matriarch. Loki, of course, was hot on his heels; Jeremy not too far behind. Dread filling her, Lissa dropped her weapon to follow as well; a bit surprised when the group of fans he had been training trailed after them too. Some of them had even kept hold of their arms, looks of frightened determination on many of their faces. Just seeing that made her feel both proud and a bit sad at the same time.
    While it showed they were taking things seriously, it also showed they were beginning to become willing to lay down their very lives. A fact that honestly didn’t sit well with her. Some of these people were younger than she was and certainly didn’t deserve to be involved in something like this. They deserved to be writing fanfics, watching movies, mooning over guys they found cute. Being involved in something like this would no doubt scar a lot of them beyond repair. They would see new or old friends die or possibly get injured. It would be a miracle if this whole mess ended with no blood on their hands.
    Frigga, who had been instructing a few of the newfound healers, seemed to sense what was happening and spun on her heel to face them. Heimdall went into an instant bow, the horned helm he wore disappearing as he placed a fist over his heart to show his loyalty. “Forgive me highness, I could only distract him for so long. He has found you. You must run,” he breathed, disappearing as soon as the message was delivered. Everyone seemed to freeze, fear beginning to creep over the gathered crowd.
    “Do not panic! I have a place we can escape to if need be. I’ll form a portal,” Jeremy announced, using his magic to amplify his voice.
    Next thing she knew, Melissa was being yanked along by Loki; a grim expression on his face as he held out his hand to add his power to his former teacher’s. Within seconds, a massive hole in reality appeared; seeming to lead to a huge, open field. “Everyone through!” the trickster holding her snarled, going through first and depositing her on the other side. Then he was taking her upper arms in a tight grip, placing a kiss on her forehead as the bewildered woman tried to get a grip on just what was happening.
    “Stay here. I must make sure the others make it through safely,” he insisted, releasing her to turn around and walk through the flood of people that was now coming through.
    Shaking herself, the brunette moved to go back with him when she felt two pairs of hands grabbing her. Turning her head, the former assistant saw both Marissa and Anthony Hopkins holding her back. “I don’t blame you for wanting to go but...,” her childhood shadow began, concern and determination in her aqua colored eyes.
    “You’re very early into pregnancy. If you strain yourself, you might bring on a miscarriage. On top of that, Tom... I mean, Loki can take of himself. He has magic on his side while you do not,” the older actor on the redhead’s right reasoned, his azure eyes full of his own worry.
    Licking her lips, Lissa gave small nod before allowing the pair to lead her into a more safe area of the huge clearing they had appeared in. It was far away from where the people were pouring in, a stream that seemed endless when she was waiting for her lover as well as his mother, brother and her ex-fiance. Frigga was the one who came first, standing near the portal as the flood started to gradually taper off. Then it was Jeremy, the worried looking celebrity heading right toward them as soon as he saw them. Before he said anything, the former handler knew something was desperately wrong. Where were Thor and Loki? Had the so called hero betrayed his brother yet again?
    The next thing she knew, her former fiance had her in a tight grip; his accented baritone rumbling gently in her ear as she continued to try to get to the portal. She had no clear memory of moving but that really didn’t matter. All that mattered was the ache in her chest as absolute panic began to fill her. None of this was helped by the fact that the pair still didn’t appear even when the last of the newbie warriors made it in. Frigga also looked nervous until Loki was falling through the portal. The way he came in made it look like he had been shoved hard and he shot to his feet and whirled around to go back through, absolute terror in his eyes. Seeing what was about to happen, Irons dispelled the portal with a decisive movement.
    Confused but relieved to see the man she had taken care of for a lot of his film career, Lissa relaxed slightly as she watched her now pissed companion come towards them with his mother close on his heels. “Open it!” the Prince demanded, sounding every bit the deity he was under the actor disguise.
    “From the way you’re acting, I think I’d better keep it closed until you tell me just what’s going on,” Jeremy replied, looking cool as a cucumber in the face of Loki’s fury. He didn’t even flinch when the man who used to be his student got right up in his face and let out a low snarl.
    “Thor is in trouble you idiot! Odin showed up just as we got the last of them through. He... he distracted the old man by pretending to be on his side. Pretending he was trying to lower my guard enough so his father could find me. I... fell for it as well and nearly attacked him before he shoved me through,” the God of Mischief whispered, his anger fading for guilt and deep worry.
    “Then he wouldn’t want you to go back or risk Odin coming here. This place is the only place on Midgard that Heimdall cannot see and I would rather keep it that way for the time being,” the older man replied, sounding amazingly neutral given the amount of worry in his brown eyes.
    Loki could only open and close his mouth, resembling a fish out of water a bit. Then he was simply pursing his lips as he closed his green eyes and took a deep breath, running a hand through his dark hair. Seeing his distress, both Frigga and Lissa walked toward him in unison; stopping when they were just a few feet from him. “Thor can take care of himself. On top of that, Odin has always favored him. I have severe doubts any harm will come to him with him being the Crown Prince,” the older Goddess assured as the shorter woman beside her nodded.
    “You didn’t see what I did, neither of you did. The man has gone utterly insane with fear. He looked about ready to attack Thor himself before the portal closed,” replied the stressed deity, looking ready to either cry or throw something. Tears glittered in his still green eyes as his leather covered chest heaved with emotion.
    Flinching, the curly haired matriarch’s eyes travelled to where the passage had been before looking back at the man she considered her son. Pursing her lips, she closed the distance to pull the taller male into a comforting hug. Making soothing noises, she made a subtle motion to Lissa to join her; something the assistant did hesitantly. Not only was she not sure he wanted her comfort at the moment, it was just plain awkward to show affection to him in front of his mom. Loki, on the other hand, didn’t share her hesitations and pulled her into a tight hug. Burrowing his nose into her hair, he began to whisper her name over and over as he rocked them both back and forth gently. “He’ll be fine Loki,” Lissa whispered, only now noticing that her puppy was nowhere to be seen.
    Pulling away as fear dropped into her stomach, she looked everywhere for the familiar flash of orange and white. When she saw nothing, her worry only deepened. “Lissey?” came a concerned question as she began to move into the clearing they had appeared in.
    “Lo Lo, here boy!” she called, cupping her hands around her mouth to amplify her voice. Fear and hope fought for top position as her call went unanswered.
    ‘Maybe he can’t hear me over all the people talking,’ she reasoned to herself, despite knowing better deep down.
    Ever since he had been revealed to be a part of Loki, the canine had shown just how attuned to her emotions he was. If she was the least bit upset, he would appear out of nowhere to bundle into her lap and make an utter goof of himself until she giggled. The fact that he wasn’t appearing in front of her when she was so worried for him was extremely unusual. In fact, her heart was lurching as panic slowly began to creep over her senses. Before she could descend into full-on terror and start screaming hysterically for her dog, she felt a pair of hands on her shoulders. Whirling around, she saw her former client giving her a concerned look. “He didn’t come through with you?” asked the man formerly known as Thomas Hiddleston.
    “No..,” she whispered, the tears coming as her heart clamped in her chest. That puppy was more than just a pet to her. He was her best friend, companion and furry son. The tiny Corgi had often curled up with her on a stormy night to keep her company or when she was sick to make sure she was safe. If anything happened to him, she would never forgive herself.
    As if sensing her distress, Loki pulled her into a loose hug as Tony, Jeremy and Rissa came up to see what was wrong. “He’ll be fine my darling. He’s a part of me after all and is more than capable of taking care of himself. Besides, I doubt even Odin is so monstrous as to harm a baby animal,” he reasoned in a gentle tone, looking up to gesture to the trio to hurry. Despite his words, he had his doubts about what the patriarch would do once he found out just what the puppy was. The God was deeply afraid of what children the trickster would have with any person; so terrified, in fact, that he more than likely wasn’t even close to thinking rationally. Anything that came from the mischief maker or had any connection to him would more than likely be obliterated with prejudice.
    Lissa was also aware of this fact under her fear and sorrow and she was grateful when several arms enveloped her into a warm hug. All she could hope was that Thor would watch out for the pup. If he hadn’t appeared by now, that meant that he couldn’t and he was trapped on the other side. Closing her eyes and taking a deep breath she took a look at the huge crowd of confused people. None of them had been taking this seriously until this had happened and now they were unsure of what to do. Were they really willing to fight a battle none of them stood a true chance of winning? The only ones who looked shaken but still determined was the group that had declared themselves Loki’s army. With their help, she might be able to calm the rest down.
    Thor rubbed his jaw where his father had punched him, just grateful his brother had gotten away safely. Unfortunately, not all of him had made it through, leaving the God of Thunder with a rather strange companion. The pup had come running soon after he had pushed Loki through and had been generally cooed over by Sif. None of them had any clue of what the canine was and he hoped to keep it that way. Even the grizzled Odin was besotted with the pet, scratching behind one of his bat-like ears while the dog watched what the army was doing with sharp eyes. While doggy Loki didn’t like being separated from his owner, he seemed to be making the best out of his situation.
    Sighing, the Prince wandered around those he had once called friends; wondering if they knew the atrocities they were going to commit. Did they know they would be slaughtering millions if not billions of innocent, powerless people. People who had no true hope of standing any chance against them. Did they know that Loki had long since moved on to wanting what every man ultimately does, a loving wife and children? Did they know that the man they considered a beast would give his life for his Midgardian lover with no hesitation? If they did know all of theses things, would that stop any of the horrors about to come? Being around these people for several centuries, Thor would like to think that answer would be an emphatic ‘yes’. Yet, he found himself feeling unsure. Sitting beside Volstagg, he cradled his head as he hoped and prayed things wouldn’t turn into an utter bloodbath.
    After hours of wrangling, they had the crowd in one place and paying attention. It had been a stressful day for all of them and Jeremy just wanted to get them moving to their destination. After few encouraging words, Loki and the voice actor got them moving down a well maintained path. The further it went, the more things looked old, almost enchanted in a way. It was almost like they had stepped into a time bubble. Even the air around them was surprisingly pure and sweet, giving the nervous people a sense of well-being. “What is this place?” Rissa whispered, her aqua eyes wide with awe as she took in the foliage around her. Like the air, the forest had been untouched and gave off a feeling of true isolation.
    “A place I protected long ago from outsiders. A place I had set aside in case I had need to evacuate a lot of people. I made sure to keep everything updated and in good condition but a few might need to share houses until we build more,” he explained as they broke from the forest to see a small village. There were a few thousand houses but nowhere near enough for the millions behind them. He hadn’t been kidding when he said people would have to share.
    Thankfully there seemed to be power as well as some form of indoor plumbing. Also, most of the houses were of a decent size. Although it would be a tight squeeze, there should be enough dwellings so everyone had a roof over their heads. Already people were talking about where to build the next houses. Thankfully there were quite a few construction people as well as electric and plumbing. There were also doctors, surgeons, nurses. There were people from all walks of life and all levels of professionalism. Just hearing thin threads of excitement made lissa feel just a bit better about their current situation. Still, she had to wonder just how long they could keep a place like this hidden with as many people as they had. There was also the problem of staying in the loop with the news. While there was electricity there was no connections to TV stations, internet or phone. For the moment, it would be best if it stayed that way.
    Watching as the mob disseminated into the village to pick out initial housing, the handler leaned into Loki as Jeremy and Frigga came to stand by her. Anthony and Marissa were also there, on the fringes due to the spots by her being taken up. Yet, all she could think of was her puppy and if he was okay. The fate of the world might rest on their shoulders and all she could think of was one little dog that honestly wouldn’t matter in the grand scheme of things. She should feel guilty and she felt disgusted with herself that she really didn’t.
    A pair of warm hands on her shoulders brought her attention back to the God behind her and she relaxed into him for comfort. “He’ll find his way back to you, I promise,” whispered a comforting baritone in her ear, as if he could sense exactly what she was thinking. Giving a small nod, she walked with her group; Jeremy leading the way to a large mansion that seemed to be in the center of the village. As she walked, she placed an unconscious hand on her flat tummy; just above where her unborn child rested. She had a lot more to worry about now than just her puppy and that made her anxiety zing to new heights. Where she had originally been worried about possibly giving birth to a Jötunn child in a hospital, she now had to worry about possibly giving birth in the midst of a war. Her only solace was that Loki would move heaven and Earth to keep her and their child safe.
