Height and Weight
5'10”, 166lbs

Eye and Hair Color
Brown, Dark brown

Body Type
Basil has a nice body; He works quite hard on his six-pack and biceps. He's not overly buff, but he does have just enough muscles to show off when he flexes to show that he works hard and plays harder.

Special Markings
Basil is a highly decorated veteran with scars and such from scrapes with the law and his training as well as a few feisty women that didn't take too kindly to waking up only to see him sneaking out.

Extras and Fashion
Many people take one look at his beautiful mocha flesh and bright brown eyes and can't see how Remy is his father. Upon looking harder one can see that he has his father's facial structure, hair, and charming smile. He is a fan of expensive clothing, especially suits. He has many custom made Dulce and Armani suits that he enjoys flaunting. You will never find him inside a store that doesn't sell high fashion designer clothes, shoes, or accessories. He's not afraid to sport a few rings and chains, either. Ladies love the rings and chains.

Habits
Basil literally cannot help himself when around women. He absolutely has to flirt with every pretty girl he sees. He is also constantly checking on his hair, hating the possibility of having horrible hair in front of a potential “lady friend”. He also tends to harass people that he sees throwing non biodegradable trash onto the ground. He adores stopping to coddle and play with children of all ages. When he's nervous he chews on a long piece of grass. When he's scared he'll close his eyes and take a few minutes to breathe deeply and smokes a joint.

Fears and Phobias
ImageFire.
Its a bit cliché, maybe. But its a totally legitimate fear. He is much like the plants and animals that he commands, so how can he not fear the things that are most dangerous to them?

ImageLosing his father.
His father is the only family that he has left and he does embark on dangerous missions to help save their kind. It is always a fear of Basil's that one day his father won't step off of the jet with the others. He prays every day and night for his own and his father's safety.

ImageSettling down.
Remy LeBeau is well known as a charmer with the ladies and a heavy romantic. Basil, however is so much of a romantic. He leads a life of danger and doesn't want to bring a woman or a child into his dark lifestyle. Sure, he loves to make women feel good about themselves and show them a good time. But settling down is a scary thought. To be totally vulnerable as a man in love is something that he would not be able to handle.

Aspirations
ImageGetting Victory.
Since he was sixteen, getting laid was never a problem. Making women (and a few men) fall for him was a breeze. Victory seems to resist him and he likes that. Sure, her uppity and entitled attitude grinds on his nerves at times but he is drawn to her strength, intelligence, and beauty. She will be his.

ImageSettling down.
Yes. It scares him. But he can't help but to feel a bit lonely when he sees couples all around him and when he listens to his dad tell him about how wonderful his life became when Basil entered it. He eventually wants to leave behind his dangerous lifestyle and have a wife and child.

ImageFriends.
As charming and likable as he is, the only person that he really trusts is his father. He keeps most of his relationships at a strictly business or impersonal level. Women are in his life for only as long as it takes to get them in his bed and out the door with the exception of Orfelina. He doesn't know why, but making real friends is just hard for him. It may have something to do with his dislike of feeling vulnerable. The thought of others knowing many things about him unnerves him. But he wants that to change.

Secrets
ImageInvoluntary Manslaughter.
When he was seventeen he accidentally killed his first and last girlfriend; They had been fighting a lot lately and in his rage he had become a bear, losing control of his thoughts and actions, entering a primal state of mind. The bear taking over his mind felt threatened and ate her.

Personality
Of course, Basil is very much a people person. He loves being around people, but at the same time he does enjoy his privacy and solidarity. You could never guess that such a charming young man has only one friend, not including his dad. He knows and respects the personalities of the people that he's grown up with and feels that they would not approve of his lifestyle and his means of making money, so he does his best to keep them at a distance. He wants to let them in, but fear of having them look upon him in disapproval and shame prevents him from doing so. He figures that if he has nobody to let down, he won't grow a conscience and begin to stumble in his work. He's good at what he does and the money that it brings in is worth it to him. Knowing that his father will never approve nor disapprove of what he does is the only reason that he remains close to him, but he still doesn't speak much about his jobs.

When it comes to working with people, that is strictly business. There are many times where his job calls for him to do a bit of backstabbing, cheating, and double crossing. Not having any sort of real personal relationship with his business partners and clients allows him to carry out his job without feeling any sort of remorse when things don't end well for the other party. He does act excellently, though. As everyone that he works with is well-enough convinced that he is one of their most trusted partners. His level of stealth prevents any treachery from being traced back to him. He doesn't mind not having any real friendships with his business partners but it does bother him that he can't even make real friends. He sees it as a weakness and it also makes him sad. But he also realizes that it is a fear of yet again guilty conscience. Should anything happen and a friend of his was hurt due to his business or anything that was otherwise his fault, he doesn't know how he would be able to handle it.

If you asked anyone about him, they would immediately note how polite and outgoing he is and definitely remark on his constant witty and coquettish remarks. He seems nonchalant when faced with most situations, though when he knows things are serious he breaks character and will have a joint to ease his pains. He has quite strong views that tend to oppose those of the law while some are in favor of the people, having a rather strict set of mind when it comes to the more criminal related activities. He's a nonjudgmental man and is willing to hear every side of a story before coming to his own conclusion of whether he feels a person was right or wrong in their doing. Concerning his views on the Human vs Mutant juncture, he feels strongly that the Anti-Mutant forces are wrong for judging all mutants based on ignorant assumptions and overzealous religious freaks.

【A Glimpse Into The Past...】
“Character Quote”





History
Basil was born in New York to New Orleans' own infamous Remy LeBeau; His mother was an ecopath and nature extremist. She met his father while she was attacking a paper company that she had discovered was destroying many forests and killing a number of animals in the process on purpose. A very heavy factor in her anger was that the company had been the sole cause of the extinction of a once rare species of bluebird. Remy was trying to calm her down, understanding her anger but assuring her that this was not the way – There was a better, stealthier way to solve the problem that didn't involve becoming a wanted murderer. He escaped with her before the authorities had arrived and consoled her before helping her with her issue. During their time together he was having yet another issue with his long time love, the mutant Rogue. She took the opportunity to woo him and eventually became pregnant. She didn't want it to have gone that far, thinking that having a baby would put a dent in her plans to help the world. It would slow her down. So she left baby Basil before he had even come out of the hospital nursery.

Remy was left to raise the child on his own – Well, not completely. He had help from his friends at Xavier's. It was hard for him at first due to his playboy lifestyle and his lack of experience in childcare. But he worked hard to be the best father that he could and swelled with pride as his son idolized him. He soon began to teach his son his ways. Basil took to his father's work like a fish to water and did all that he could to make his father proud. He inherited his mother's X-Gene as well as her love for nature, though he wasn't as extreme as she was when it came to protecting nature. Of course seeing people litter among other things did ruffle his feathers and he addressed the situation, but his father's teachings aided him in doing it in a much more civilized manner. He soon got involved in small time crime and began to slowly work his way through various crime rings in the United States as he traveled. School was no concern of his, dropping out before finishing Junior High; He held the same philosophy as his friend Orfelina that he didn't need a sheet of paper to prove to the world that he was smart. Now, he wasn't and isn't a bad guy. Sure, he had some dealings when it came to importing and exporting drugs, but he never dealt with weapons. He always gave people the same answer when they asked how he could stand to aid in dealing drugs: “The people who buy drugs know exactly what they're getting into. They know how its going to affect their health. I only deal to adults. I have a higher class of clientele. I make it a point not to deal to people that I feel don't know how to handle their drugs or that I feel may hurt someone while high. I deal to celebrities and other upper class people. Not thugs and the other common folk.”

His father neither supported nor disapproved of his son's choice of occupation, knowing that he would do what he pleased. He could not deny, however that he was pleased with his son's skill level and the way that his father turned out to be. Basil enjoyed living a high class lifestyle and was always responsible enough to stay under the radar, often dealing with the mafia from behind the scenes. As his connections began to run deeper he moved out of Xavier's, having mastered the powers given to him and feeling that remaining with them may eventually become a danger should something go awry during business. So, into the city he moved. That's where he met Victory Stark. He was tasked with swiping a few things that Stark Industries had under lock and key; Some tech, some vibranium, as well as the blueprints for the unrevealed fighter jet. Victory walked in just in time to catch a glimpse of his face. She recognized him as the waiter from a diner that she often went to when she couldn't think. She called the authorities and had charges pressed, but no evidence except her word could be produced. Those who worked with him accused her of attacking him with such allegations out of spite after she cursed him out and poured hot coffee on him when he got lippy with her for being a brat about having gotten the wrong order. He apologized and offered her to get her breakfast on the house, but she wasn't having it. He didn't know what it was about her, but she was different from other women. She didn't melt like putty in his hands like the others. She was a challenge and he liked it.

He was approached by Ásbjorn, his close friend and personal lawyer about joining The Order. Thinking that it was a cool idea and that maybe he could later impress Victory with it, he agreed. He often argues with Astrid and Benjamin about letting Victory on the team, hoping to persuade them that maybe being on the team could be a good thing for her and maybe help her become more of a team player and less of a glory hog. Though his pleads are always shot down with the reminder of how she almost botched their last mission and caused several casualties as well as almost cost a few innocent lives. He will continue, though. He will not stop until she's on he team.


Family
Father – Remy LeBeau
Mother – Sabrina Benavidez

Connection To Members of The Order
Banner, Benjamin/Medico
“He's that nerd that Lina works for, right? I'm just kidding. I pick on the kid here and there, but I mean no harm. He's a smart guy and I've known him since I was little. Never really been close to the fella like that, but Orfelina is constantly talking about him. Or should I say gushing? He must be a real good guy if Lina likes him that much; Even if he is a young pup. So far he seems alright and a lot smarter than I expected. Guy's a prodigy.”

Fury, Ásbjorn/Nexus
“My lawyer on many occasions; Ladies and gentlemen allow me to introduce Mister Ásbjorn Fury! Azzy is a good man and an even better lawyer. He's won me cases on numerous occasions, though I must say that I had a hand in it with the whole leaving no evidence against me. But the man's got a real silver tongue. He's really protective of his sister and his powers...scary. Doesn't mean that I'm not still gonna try to get some. He's a guy; He'll understand. I remember he went missing for a while and after he came back him and his sister were real tight-lipped about what happened and to this day, I don't think they've told anyone what happened. Maybe we'll find out if we get all buddy-buddy.”

Fury, Astrid/Luminesca
“She was a real peppy kid and now she's all dark and cryptic and quiet. Plus the girl really knows how to put a guy on his ass before you can count to one. Turns me on...Oh! Other things. Er. She's real sexy and talented and a good person. I know she used to dream about being a real big singer or actress or something like that. Now I hear she's doing some humanitarian stuff which is really good for her. I know she was missing with her brother for a few years and since she came back...She's just changed. I don't know what happened. Nobody outside the Fury family knows but I know those scars on her arms are new and I remember she used to blow up and attack her stepmother when Miss Alex would try to get in her head. Curious.”

Howlett, Orfelina/Tarot
“The only real friend I have. I never really had a choice in the matter of letting her in; She sort of just forced her way in when we were kids. She's such a dweeb sometimes but she's cool to hang around whenever I have the spare time and she does a really great circus act. We're actually really close and I don't mind it; We share our secrets and I've been trying to convince her to let me hook her up with that Banner kid. He's not half bad even if he is double the dweeb that she is. She tells me that he's good people and that's what matters. She tries to coach me on tech stuff so I can impress Victory and it isn't going too well. But she's a good person. And yes. I've hit that.”

Laufeyson, Loki/Joker
“This man has been the reason behind countless lives lost in the past and tried to enslave Earth. But he's allowed to be in The Order and Victory isn't? Bullshit.”

Rogers, Amanda/Freedom
“This woman. Is. Perfect. She's funny, cute, smart, and tough. But she's so...honorable. Meaning: I haven't hit that. Yet. She's got a really good heart and is just like her dad. I don't think either of them like me very much. They don't know exactly what I do for a living but they know of my father's past and they have their suspicions. Its fine, though. I'm not going to lie, it kind of sucks that she seems immune to my charms and wit.”

Stark, Anthony Jr./Showtime

Stark, Victory/Circuit
“Victory. She has resisted me since day one and looked down on me for lack of formal education despite the fact that I'm smarter than most if not all in my fields of study. She's vile, mean, and downright vain at most times but damn is the girl beautiful. She's five years my junior and I know I probably should just hate her like almost everyone else, but her strength and knowledge are such a turn on. I know she almost fucked up our last mission but I feel like her being on the team could be a good thing for her and teach her a lesson or two. If nothing else, I seriously want to score with her.”

Thorsdottir, Johanna/Tempest
Thorson, Gunnar/Maelstrom

Benji cut the engine of the motorbike almost instantly as they stopped before the decrepit building. He got off shakily and took off the helmet, hanging it off the handle bar. He turned to face the building, nearly jumping out of his skin as Basil seemed to appear out of nowhere, making a quip about tetanus shots. Benji swallowed, hands shaking slightly, "C-could you p-please n-n-not do that a-again?" He swallowed, crossing his arms to stop the hands from shaking. He was just glad that his mask hid most of his embarrassed blush.

He turned his attention to see the others that now stood about, appraising their new hideout. Many of them had been talking casually on the trip over as they rode on their "sky" road. He noticed with a sinking heart that they didn't seem to be as affected as he had been about the man's sudden appearance. His eyes lingered on Loki for a long moment, his feet taking him away from him as a shudder ran down his spine. He wanted to be as far from Loki as it was possible, and at that moment, that meant getting closer to Basil.

Not long after a more welcome surprise arrived as Orfelina landed on the ground, barefoot, looking about with bright eyes. An almost timid smile took over Benji's features as he watched her walk through the large room. He listened to her talk, the slowly retreating blush resurfacing the moment she mentioned his name, "S-s-s-sure, we c-could get onto t-t-that o-once we g-g-get back h-h-home."

A voice scolded him at the back his mind, telling him to stop stuttering in front of her, that if he continued she would surely see him as an idiot. He swallowed and hung his head slightly as he walked further into the room, eyes flicking to certain points to try and assess the structural weak points and reminding himself to avoid those areas.

Asbjorn Fury


Azzy had chatted lightly while riding through the sky on his earpiece, keeping the conversational topics as light and carefree as he could to take everybody's minds off of their apparent problems. Right now was the time to solve their first problem, not bother discussing any other but this one: which was, in fact, getting a new place.

So when they arrived, Asbjorn cut the engine of his car (he wasn't much of a motorcycle fan) and stepped into the ruined building, out came the smooth talker; aka Basil LeBeau. Azzy gave a little bit of laughter at the tetanus remark, before understanding their reason for returning. He was going to say something before a voice made him crane his head up to hear Lina talking about the promise of the building, all while walking on the rafters bare foot. Asbjorn gave a shake of his head as Medico stumbled out a reply back, before Asbjorn went to do his own thing: bylaw and building code inspection. With his knowledge of the laws and whatnot, Azzy wanted to make sure they wouldn't get caught in any extra fees due to legal issues or zoning problems. The thing was that it was pretty apparent that this hospital was going to need a lot of work.

Using the shadows, Nexus hoisted himself up to the rafters where Lina had once been, scanning out the building and making mental notes about certain ways to make the most of it without breaking any laws or such. It was there, however, that he caught sight of Amanda's tormented face and the lowering of her camera. Going back down, as the rest of the team moved away and bunched up themself, Azzy approached Amanda, lowering his cowl with a concerned look on his face.

"You alright Amanda? You seem kind of out of it, distant." What ever she was thinking about, Asbjorn could tell it was eating her up, and he didn't like that one bit. Amanda was the wholesome, optomistic part of the team: if something had gotten her this agitated, yet they continued like nothing happened, Azzy dreaded her thoughts.

Loki Laufeyson


As usual, Loki was forced to sit with Astrid as they rid, for fear that giving him a vehicle would create danger or something else ridiculous. It was absurd that this Order was playing it so safe with a God stripped down to a mere man, which made it odd that the only one that had any mild trust with the God of Mischief was Astrid herself. Peculiar, as Loki would say, that she would be the one driving his acceptance forward, when clearly many of them were not in favour. To prove said point, after sauntering into the disgustingly horrible hospital, the man known as Basil or Suspect appeared. Loki instantly caught the scowl that was on the man's face, and gave a little smirk towards him while he did. While a few of the Order had pretty colourful pasts, Basil's was one that Loki felt could be made into a best selling novel to enslave the human mind.

Of course, then there was that flitty girl Orfelina, to which Loki had no reason to care for. She was just crazy, so he let her be: odd for a man who wanted to control the world to call a 'genius' crazy, but it was all perspective. Now people started moving around, but not Loki: no, Loki had to stay right near Astrid almost all the time, which still infuriated him, being leashed to a 'mortal'. Yet he also knew that without her, he would probably be dead, so Loki kept his mouth shut for now, allowing himself to scheme quietly while the rest looked through the dump of a building.

Benji stood in near silence as they continued to look around the building, it looked more rundown on the inside than it did on the outside. It appeared to be on the verge of collapsing on itself. It would take allot of work just to make the framework stable. He sighed, rubbing the back of his neck, if only Victory hadn't found their original hideout. But what was past was past, they could only move forward. Plus, the building had potential, it would make an amazing base once it had been fixed up.

So engrossed in his thoughts was he that he missed Orfelina's stumble and yelped in surprise, shock, and if he was honest, fear as she fell onto him. His heartbeat raced, a bright blush covering his entire face as he stopped breathing for a long moment from the fear of hyperventilating and making an even bigger fool of himself than his blush already had. Unlike him Lina laughed at their situation and began to remove herself to get to a nail that had lodged itself into her arm. His stomach churned at the sight, even if it didn't seem to bother her as much as it should. She rolled onto her back, only to land on another nail. He reached over to help her, stopped as a bright light covered the entire building, a vision of what the building could one day become.

It was mesmerizing, truly something to work towards.

As the vision vanished he returned his attention to Orfelina, "L-l-l-let m-me h-h-help y-y-you with th-th-that." He swallowed harshly, feeling his blush deepen. Why couldn't he just speak normally around her?!

“You know why you're different...You just can't admit it to yourself.” Loki looked calmly at Astrid, donning his Asgardian armor. Astrid herself wore something similar, gold armor trimmed in shimmering blue with a winged half helm. Her hair was let down and flowing as she held her head high. “You don't know anything about me.” She hissed at him, her eyes narrowing as her hand rose to her locket. Loki disappeared and she suddenly felt him behind her, his lips against her ear as he whispered. “I know more about you than you do. Maybe if you ask nicely...” His mocking laughter echoed as he disappeared just as she swung around to hit him. She was left in a mist of nothing, only his laughter.

Monday, July 1, 2013 @ 6:24pm


Astrid lay perfectly still in her bed, her deep slumber comparable to that of Snow White's...Or Odin's. She had slept for seven days with a shimmering field of solid light coating her body like an exoskeleton. How did she manage keeping Loki in the house? Easy - She had Orfelina and Amanda alternate over to keep an eye on him for her. She would have asked the others, but Amanda and Lina felt they were better suited for the job and quickly volunteered.

Azzy had work to attend to, or else her brother would have been her first choice. She knew that Loki made Benji nervous and wasn't going to have the self-important Norse God harassing her brother. She was also under orders to not give Johanna nor Gunnar too much alone time with their uncle, lest he use his guile and play his Sympathy for the Devil card.

Astrid's eyes fluttered open slowly and her stomach began to growl as the exoskeleton faded away to nothing. Her very person shimmered as though someone had turned on a million lights in each one of her individual atoms, giving her a brilliant and multicolored shine as she rose from her bed. A mighty yawn was given as she pulled her hair down and let it brush against her ankles. She sighed, unable to grasp what the hell her dream meant as she pulled on her white SHIELD hoody and black pajama pants.

What the hell could Loki know about her that she didn't? They had been under the same roof for nearly a month and a half, yet she hardly spoke to him about anything. Her brow furrowed as she brushed her fingers against the picture of her mother on her dresser before leaving her bedroom, heading straight for the kitchen.

Amanda and Lina had already left and she didn't see Loki around. She could hear him though. She began to pull out the ingredients needed to make a dinner of steak, black eyed peas, mashed potatoes, and salad.

She was silent as she began to dice onions, several glowing hands flying around preparing everything as she sang softly under her breath. She didn't bother with turning on the lights, using her own glow to see.




“Yes!” Orfelina shouted, thrusting her fist into the air as she jumped up. “Check it!” She motioned for the Starks and Banners to join her around the kitchen table where what looked like a taller replica of her lay. “Amelia, take out that can over there.” She pointed to an empty can and watched as Amelia rose up and faced the can.

The android's eyes gave a violet glow before emitting a laser that blew the can off of the counter. “Effective now for offense. Next is her defensive upgrade.” The genius seer turned around and gave a bow before giving an airy giggle. She then checked her watch. “Oh! Vic, I really need you to run down to the physics lab. I left you a gift on my desk.”

She really did, having left a small bag that contained a locket with a picture of the two of them along with their AI units after they had been first built along with a mixtape of their favorite songs as children. But, she mostly needed her friend to leave to speak with the gathered parents about The Order. They had already been previously informed right before Astrid's deep slumber, but Lina had business to discuss as far as resources.

She was sure the others had a few things to say as well. Her gaze fell to Benjamin and she gave her usual adorable smile and giggled before clasping her hands together. She had donned her favorite jean shorts for the evening and black physics shirt that read "Physics Give Me A Hadron". She remembered Benji saying once that it was cute before stuttering an apology and taking off.

“I'm pretty sure you guys have something on your mind. What's up?” Tony was the first to speak, watching as Orfelina move near Benjamin, Anthony next to Orfelina, Amanda next to Anthony, Johanna next to Amanda, Basil next to Johanna, and Gunnar next to Basil just as Ásbjorn walked in. Steve, Bruce, Jane, and Thor leaned against the table as Pepper and Tony looked around curiously. “Gracie - Do a bug sweep.” Lina ordered her AI as she whipped out her own Howlett Sphere and pulled up the holographic details of Jarvis' system, her fingers moving various formulas around until she effectively and temporarily shut him down. “What's going on? Really.” Pepper seemed to become anxious and worried by the security measures being taken as everyone sort of shuffled their feet. “Miss Howlett, I have located a bug in both the metaphorical and literal sense. Choice of action?” Gracie turned to face her creator, canting her head to the left some.

“Terminate it, please.”
Gracie nodded as she acknowledged the command and soon began hacking the bug until it no longer was capable of transmitting video and the audio was distorted and choppy. Orfelina knew that Victory knew and believed it pointless to try and keep treating her like a deluded child, rather believing that it was better to sit her down and tell her why she was locked out. But that would come later. Lina was just as good at hacking as Victory was and knew all of her tricks. She hated having to hide things from her, having gone so far as equipping Gracie with a complete system erase should she ever be counter hacked. “Mom. Dad. There's no other way to really say this. But. We are...The Order.” Junior and the others let a pause linger in the air, watching as Pepper and Tony absorbed the information. “Can't say it really surprises me. The Astro Twins are in on it too?” Tony shifted to cross his arms over his chest as the others nodded. “And...You guys. You already knew?” Pepper looked over at the other parents with a look of confusion as they nodded. “We only just found out last week.” The Captain spoke up but quickly quieted down as Pepper's expression became one of further hurt.

“I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume that the security measures are to keep Vic in the dark.” Tony didn't look entirely pleased as the kids before him nodded. Before he could launch into a rant, Orfelina snapped her fingers. “Gracie, playback the video.” The android nodded as her eyes lit up and a holographic screen projected into the air. A video began to play, one that Amanda had captured on the day Victory made her appearance. Tony and Pepper watched as their daughter flew in and immediately attempted to take control of the situation, going in blindly and ending with a disgruntled criminal taking out an entire bank, blowing it to bits. They were lucky that they had gotten everyone to safety in time. The video feed then went on to show Victory stalking up to their previous base of operations and demanding to be placed in charge of the whole operation. The video then began to flicker between various short scenes of Victory's personal rants over the years, many of them directed at Benji.

“It's not that we're excluding her to be asses. It's merely a safety precaution. Until we ourselves get completely organized, get more people on board, and build a stronger reputation...” Orfelina paused and gave a light sigh, letting Junior finish for her. “She's a liability. She doesn't care about saving people, she cares about press coverage. She's only a kid. She only wants to rush in and take charge of something she knows nothing about just to glorify herself and add it to her résumé. If we let her in and something doesn't go her way, she's just going to blow our cover out of spite. S-” Tony held up his hand, demanding a few moments of silence to think. It wasn't that he was surprised to find out his little Victory wasn't a complete angel - Hell, at least one of kids had to take after his personality - it was that she was a younger him times three. “Victory won't get anything out of us...But you should give her a chance. At least try to help her mature instead of locking her out.” The kids nodded solemnly, Junior and Lina exhaling slowly in relief. “Anything you need from Stark Industries is at your disposal. Just not my suits.” As usual, he recovered quickly, walking over to give his son a right hug, patting his back as he exuded pride. There was still a bit of sadness, the Iron Man wishing that his children could follow in his footsteps together.




Astrid hardly paid her ward any mind, doing her best to care little for his constant prodding and snarky remarks. What was bothering her was the dream. Sure, Loki had hinted at knowing things about her that she didn't, but how did that correlate at all to her dream? She could see where his teasing and laughter seemed familiar, but her main concern was the fact of her donning what appeared to be Asgardian armor. Why did it feel so natural to her so much that it didn't very much surprise her? The answer was staring her right in the face, but she could hardly believe it. All of the signs were there; From the strange gene that seemingly only she and her brother had to the fact that their mother couldn't be located in any national database. She was surprised that her father didn't run a background check on the blonde woman, but apparently he simply knew that she wasn't a hazard.

She found herself growing increasingly frustrated, unable to come to terms with what the answer could be, seeing it as an impossibility despite how logical it was. Their mother wasn't from this world and she had previously claimed Scandinavian descent. But there was no way that she and her brother could be Demigods, right? Though there was no other explanation for his darkness manipulation and her light as well as their superhuman physical conditions. They already had Orfelina examine their DNA some time ago – Perhaps...It should be compared to that of Loki's and Johanna's and Gunnar's and Thor's. Just a quick blood sample and maybe an examination of flesh and hair follicles.

No!

What was she thinking?!

She simply had let Loki mess with her head and now he had her coming to wild assumptions, playing on her desperation to find out where her mother was and who she really was. That was all there was to it. Loki may be powerless, but his guile was still as present and irritating as ever. She simply ignored him as she prepared the dinner, silently ruminating over all possibilities of who her mother could be. She quickly dismissed the idea of being a Demigoddess shortly after, trying to think of anything but that. Thirty minutes of silence and darkness had passed as she prepared their meal, setting a plate before him. Talk had come about days before she was intended to become his "chaperone", mostly from Anthony Stark Senior insisting that he be locked in a cell to rot and fed molded food. That had only been the least creative and by far kindest suggestion of what he felt Loki should suffer. However, the silent shining star wouldn't have it. She was intently curious as to whether or not he would learn his lessons. She pulled out her phone to see a text message from her brother, sliding her fingers across the screen.

I'm awake and feasting. Come by tomorrow.

She didn't like having people around after waking from her long sleep and was already barely tolerating having Loki around, though she wouldn't admit that he was growing on her. She held her plate and sat on the counter, keeping silent as she ate, often casting subtle and curious glances his way.
