It had been a normal day for everyone. People were going about their own business, some on the station, some on Midgard, some in Asgard... you get my drift. But they would not be separated for long. Reunions that were never meant started to happen.

Loki straightened his back. His right fist was curled up, his thumb kneading his fingers. "A strong alliance indeed," he echoed. Thoughts raced threw his head... should he make inquiries about the future? There was a need to know - curiosity to satisfy. But he abstained. His child - his other child had warned him of the dangers. "I am glad. Tell me, daughter, how old are you now?" He abstained mostly. Now, a bit of a slip should be forgiven.

That was a good question, how long and they been her parental figures? Especially since she was all but grown when they became her parents. She was clearly a Daddy's girl. Not that Shannon would deny Loki that. She hoped not to have the same awkwardness that she'd had with Kat at the start. Loki was much better at the role of Father to adults than she was Mother to them.

Shannon simply smiled as that seemed to crawl over her like an itchy shawl. Scraping one thumb nail over the other.

"I'm 26. You've been my parents for just over ten years now," she told them. Staying quiet for a moment, Gamora then glanced around the room before looking first at Loki and then at Shannon. "I understand that this is... this is a lot to take in. I don't expect instant acceptance - it took me months to finally accept it myself and you both had discussed it with me beforehand, and here I am, showing up unannounced thanks to the Station's whims and just telling you. But I couldn't be here and keep it a secret from you both. So now you know."

She smiled after that, and continued. "I intend to tell Kat who I am, but beyond that... I'll leave it up to you."

Now they knew... yes, that was indeed the case. But did he know what to do with it? No. He was a private man. It had taken time to let both his daughter and her mother close. Here was a girl now who might know him more intimately than anyone erlse.

He swallowed. "You can tell whoever you want," he judged. From all he had read about her she was a feisty one. A part of him wanted everyone to know that she wanted him as her father.

She wanted to ask how far it was from now that they would take her in, but Shannon held her tongue. She knew the whims of the 'island'. "I am hoping I won't be as awkward as I was when I first got brought back and met Katherine as an adult, but I can't promise some wont happen. Some take stuff like this on like an old hat, and I hope I'll be more like that, but this is the first time I've had a daughter come back in time and be here for it." She gave Gamora a small smile. "So if I'm weird, I'm sorry. But I already really like the idea that we've opened our lives to you." That they adopted. Together. She found she really liked that.
