(Jasmine Sayre POV)

I shrugged, unconcerned by his arrogance, "Even the strongest beings can lose to weaklings if they underestimate them. However, Laufeyson, I can assure you that out of the two of us, I am not the weakling here."

Before he could process it, a piece of the ground rose up in a pillar and hit him in the head. He was disoriented by the impact for a bit before I leapt at him and kicked him in the chest sending him flying back through the walls of the labs.

I ready myself to chase after him, but I hear a groan behind me. My daughter opened her eyes blinking. She was obviously disoriented, and yet, she seemed to recognize me, "Mom?"

I gave her a warm smile, "Hello, Wanda."

My adopted daughter pretty much leapt into the air and gave me a hug, "I missed you so much."

"I did as well," I looked at the other two girls, "hello, Rose, Jean, it's been a while." Read latest chapters at nov(e)lbin.com Only

Jean looked shocked at my reveal, "Ms. Sayre?"

I nodded, and Rose ran to me and engulfed me into a hug, "You sure took your time, sis."

I snorted, "That I did."

Wanda removed herself and looked at me, "Where have you been?"

"It's a long story, but I was caught in a temporal anomaly. I'll explain after the Earth isn't being invaded by aliens. I need you to let me handle Loki. He's too dangerous for you to deal with."

The looked incredulous, "It's been years, mom, we've gotten a lot better."

I honestly couldn't help myself, it was just too easy, "I grabbed him telekinetically and just slammed him into the walls left and right over and over again. I did this for a good dozen times before throwing him down on the floor. I could hear him groaning in pain and just snorted at him, "Puny God."

I walked up to him and chuckled, "You know, the only reason I'm not killing you, is that things are already tense between me and Odin, and killing one of his sons, no matter how justified it is, will not help things. For some reason, the man still loves you, even after you tried to commit genocide, kill your brother and betrayed your entire realm to prove yourself worthy of his love. He still considers you his son, even if you don't consider him a father. The truth is, I know far more about him than you do, I know secrets that would shock you to the core, and I also know that he's a horrible father in general. But your mother, you truly hurt her with your betrayal, Loki, and she doesn't deserve any of this. She loved you as if you were her kin, perhaps even more so than Thor, she taught you her craft, her magic, and yet all you cared for was your father. Frigga deserves better, and yet you, as undeserving as you are of her, still do your best to break her heart again and again."

Loki looked at me shocked, "How do you know all of this?"

I snorted, "Your father has cautioned you against attacking Midgard, to not break certain rules. Why do you think that is?"

He paled in fear, "No, that can't be possible. She's supposed to be a myth, a story to scare children from misbehaving."

"I can assure you, Loki, that I'm very real. My deal with Odin was simple, he was to stop Midgard from getting any visitors from any other realms without my approval. Every single time you and your brother came to Earth, your father had asked for my permission. That was until a few years back. I was distracted in a fight with a much more dangerous enemy, but you broke that treaty and that has bigger consequences than you can handle. It's why I'm giving you a choice. You'll either be punished by your father's hand or by mine."

The man shook his head, "No, she's not real, you're not real."

"I assure you, child, that I am very real. Say my name, Laufeyson"

He was still shaking his head and I yell at him in a gravelly voice, "SAY MY NAME!!!!"

He was paling in fear and whispered, "Morrigan!"

I nod at him, "That's right, Loki, and you've probably heard about me, about my stories"

He nodded, and I continued, "let me tell you something Laufeyson, whatever you heard, the horrors I've committed, all those stories, they've been watered down. Now choose, Laufeyson, my justice or your father's."

He muttered back, "My father's"

I nod, "So be it. And how do I close the portal?"

I needed to make sure, because an interaction between two Infinity Stones was a recipe for disaster. Instead of answering the God of Mischief looked at the staff.

"Huh, the staff. How fitting" I looked at him and spoke up, "Loki Laufeyson, you are not to move from this place. You will be bound and unconscious until your return to Asgard."

Before he could do anything, I conjured some chains and bound him. I then telepathically knocked him out. He wouldn't be going anywhere anytime soon.

I slowly walked towards the staff and picked it up. I could feel it wanting to influence me, to break into my mind. It was subtle and barely used the power of the Mind Stone. I was able to resist wielding it and spoke into the comms, "Loki is down, I know how to close the portal, we need to use his staff, which is in my possession."

Yeah, this should be ending soon.
