...At the high school...

I stop the car beside the sidewalk. I look towards the right to see Loki is leaning against a tree blowing bubble gum. I half wanted to break the bubble using a pin but then again I am a Rock Giant not a Asgardian goddess. Loki takes his back off the tree then walks over towards the car with his hands in pocket. Loki spits the bubblegum into a trash can—parked near the road—like a expert basketball player.

Loki opens the passenger side door then gets into the car.

"Loki," I said. "Did you turn the teacher's board into ice again?"

Loki shook his head.

"No," Loki said, shutting the passenger side door. "Not this time."

"The next time you do this," I said. "There is really going to be a chance you'll be expelled."

"I don't care about school," Loki said. "I know everything."

I sigh shaking my head.

Maybe Loki got suspended because he made the cafeteria into a ice ring, I thought, or he made a snow man in English class. Oh right he knows everything for being a thousand year old god. Then my mind went straight to history. It is very possible Loki got into a argument with a history teacher about some historical related event.

"It was the history teacher this time," I said, driving away from the school.

"Correct," Loki said. "Mr Sherman explained the reason behind The Great Chicago fire is because all the houses were lined with each other and that's why every house in this foul state are set apart. The main reason, he claimed, was that someone had a fire pit up near the house. I corrected him that the cow did it."

I turn my head towards Loki, briefly, raising my left brow.

"You are learning about Illinois's great corrupted city?" I ask.

"Yes," Loki said, with a shrug. "But it not part of the history book. Mr Sherman is very passionate about Chicago."

I notice Loki hadn't buckled up.

"Put your seatbelt on," I said, turning my head back towards the road. "Or face the fury of a car crash."

"You are really not willing to break company property." Loki said.

"I can always buy another," I said, gleefully. "There is two people in this car who can't die by car crashes and can get hurt."

"If you are joking," Loki said. "I cannot tell if you are being serious or not."

"I am not joking," I said.

"You are willing to ruin the life of another mortal to prove a point?" Loki asks.

"I am," I said. "And willing to face the consequences for it."

"There is consequences other than death of car crashes?" Loki asks.

I park the car beside a candy store.

"Frankly there is," I said. "One day you might become a mortal and you will be driving around not wearing a seatbelt. One of those days you will get into a car crash but you don't have magic or the power of ice. Let's say you are the one who made the crash happen and survived it."

Loki leans his elbow near to the window.

"But you lost your legs, your right hand, and your pretty face is disfigured," I explain. "Death is not the only consequence, Loki." I sigh turning my head towards Loki with my hands on top of the driver's wheel. "It can affect you and other people part of this accident." I see a woman with four kids coming out of the candy shop. "Let's say that car accident killed a soccer mom and her four kids."

"Too young," Loki said.

"That is my point," I said. "It's never fair for reckless driving and driving unsafe."

"...Emily, you drive recklessly,"

"Not the point," I said. "Now after your recovery comes a trial and some other painful things for her husband to go through. After you get man made legs and gone through physical rehab. You have to stand trial."

"Man made legs," Loki said, acting like I was joking. "Made of man? How disgusting."

"I am talking about legs designed to appear like human legs or serve the purpose of walking, running, swimming and so on," I explain. "Made by people just like me except very mortal."

"Of course," Loki said.

"And that is why you should buckle up your sorry ass seatbelt," I said. "Because not everyone is a teenage god."

Loki buckles his seatbelt up.

"Happy now?" Loki asks, with a frown.

"Happy," I said. "And Loki, if you get expelled from school I am enrolling you into online school."

"Computers," Loki said, in horror. "No,no,no!" Loki shook his hands. "I hate them."

"Technology is part of every day life for Midgardians," I said. "It is about time you made friends with technology."
