Loki is turned mortal by Odin after going through "Asgardian justice", and finds himself in need of a home. He then finds a young woman whom he forces to take him in. However, the woman comes with a few complications of her own...like how she's apparently pregnant, with the father long gone...

Odin stared down at his adopted son. He was battered, tired, and forcedly silent. Dark shadows existed under his eyes, and the skin on his face pulled over his cheekbones as though the bones would burst out at any time. Frigga and Thor looked at Loki, feeling deep woe for his treatment.

Although The Allfather felt some remorse for seeing his younger son in such a state, he knew that it had to be done. Loki had to face proper justice for what he had done to Midgard and his other crimes. "Loki..." boomed the voice of the Allfather, and the God of Mischief looked up at him, eyes still shining with an unspoken pride, but backlit with some feeling of fear.

"I, Odin Allfather, bestow upon you your final punishment. Loki Laufeyson, you are hereby stripped of your magic, your immortality, and your place here in Asgard. I cast you out," spoke the King with such an air of power that everything trembled before him. Magic energies swirled around Loki, what clothing he had left merely rags covering his rattled body. His eyes were open in some semblance of shock, and he suddenly found himself feeling very weak, weak and tired and powerless. The energies swirled around Loki, and the Mischief God was on Asgard no more.

On Earth, a young woman named Kiersten, around the age of twenty, sat in bed in her apartment, sobbing. Her boyfriend of 2 years had just left her-quite literally actually, he'd just walked out the door-for seemingly no reason. Was she not good enough for him? She didn't understand. Her boyfriend Michael, well, now ex-boyfriend Michael, was so nice, smart, and compassionate...but one time in bed and he decided she wasn't enough. It was devastating. She just couldn't get over it. It was weak, and stupid, but still. How many people wanted to be dumped? And so suddenly...

"Okay, that's it," she muttered to herself. "I need to get out and get some fresh air, staying here is too damn depressing." Kiersten quickly pulled on some clothes, strolling out of the building to try and collect herself. It was late at night, and in the back of her mind, Kiersten thought that maybe it wasn't the greatest idea to go out at that exact moment. It was New York, and in general there were quite a few shady characters known to roam the streets at night. Kiersten ignored her cautious thoughts and pressed on to a park area which she particularly enjoyed.

It calmed her somewhat, and Kiersten began to not feel as upset about the sudden break-up with Michael. It wasn't like it was that huge of a deal, anyway. Nothing was going to happen to her just because some guy dumped her. She was better than that, stronger than that. She was a pre-med student at NYU, for Pete's sake. She was set up to have a good, successful life and NOTHING was about to stop her.

Except, perhaps, a strange figure at the edge of the park.

A/N: Ah, well, hi. Blue-Box-Kid here. This is my first actually published fanfiction, so please no flames. I'd appreciate any criticism though! So yeah, Kiersten is the pregnant girl as mentioned in the story. She just doesn't realize it yet because it's basically too early to tell. I'm not really sure as to why I wanted to write this, it just happened to pop up in my head and not leave.

I don't own The Avengers, Marvel, Loki, or anything associated to it. So many things would be different if I did...

But, I do own Kiersten.
