send me a 🌼 and my muse will do something nice for yours !
VIN IS A PSYCHIC. This is personal information that he had not allowed to anyone else, in the interest of not getting, for example, snatched up by some team of heroes like the Avengers. That bit of foresight had not been supernatural - but he's thankful he had it when the heroes do arrive. He doesn't have time to be a hero - he's got kids at home.
However, he is still a psychic. He can feel the history of certain objects through touch, and sometimes he sees the history of people, too. His visions of the future are few, and muddled - vague. Visions of the present are unfamiliar to him.
When he sees the god, he knows him.
It his not his face he is familiar with, for indeed he is grown, much older than Vin had ever seen him.
No, Vin had met Loki as a child, when he was one too. He had met him time and time again in dreams, though Vin saw him, but Loki did not seem share his sight.
(The one time he had been seen, even through whatever veil of magic held him, was by Loki's mother - he is thankful he was a child, or he's sure he would have been in much more danger. As it was, she had merely smiled at him, and thereby terrified him out of his wits. )
Vin's own mother had been a psychic too, and his connection with the Gods of Asgard was such that Bayarmaa had named him Divinity, which is a ridiculous name, but he cannot deny it here and now, for somehow, out of all the possibilities of the world, the god Loki had ended up here, on Vin's doorstep. In his backyard, rather. Wounded.
Vin does not expect he'll be able to hold of whatever government force will arrive here for long, nor does he know how to heal an injured Asgardian.
"Ori!" he calls, back towards the house, allowing urgency to bleed into his voice. "NOW."
He does what he can to stop the bleeding until his daughter arrives, wondering if he should be worried what Loki will do when he is conscious. Ori is powerful - along with her healing powers, she'd been blessed with the ability to control plants, and he'd taught her self defense himself. She arrives quickly, and catches on to the situation with ease.
"Heal him. Be wary," He kisses her head as his brave, intelligent girl does exactly as she's told, not questioning anything as he runs in the other direction, exiting out the front of the house and waiting for the cars to arrive.
When they do, he can only think of one possible way he might get out of this.
He points, in the wrong direction.
"He went that way," He says, hoarse, as if he'd been in some sort of altercation, and maybe divinity is on his side, for the man who exited the car gives him a glance, and directs the cars to where he pointed, believing him.
He has won precious little time, he knows, and he knows the single man approaching him will want to check his house anyway, but maybe, maybe, he can get the kid from his dreams up and out of here before they can find him.
