A Giddy Arsonist.

Elane on Loki's back pointed at Ludwig spotting him among the group of thugs that had filled the warehouse allowing Loki to also enjoy the show Ludwig seemed to be putting on.

"I have called you today to help you deal with the problem of the Brummagem Boys.", Ludwig said with his hands wide open drawing everyone into the conversation.

"What do you think of this?" Ludwig said spreading his hands further as if he was presenting something important. "You help me and I'll help you?" Ludwig asked the three other late teenagers sitting on chairs around him.

"How do you propose to help us anyway? Your group is too small to be honoured." The first teenager said speaking to Ludwig in an arrogant tone.

"The basic requirement for us to recognise you is dough. Do you have enough in the first place?" The second teenager asked Ludwig.

"We do. Wouldn't thirty thousand pounds count?" Ludwig suggested.

"Doesn't mean much when you don't have a stable business of your own?" The third teenager asked Ludwig.

"We're well on our way to setting up a business, we have a steady income of about ten thousand a month and we're moving to expand in the home invasion sector from the next month."

"Are you sure? Henry has a good hold on the home invasion sector."

"We've received word from reliable sources that Henry has been retired."

"Is that why he hasn't appeared in the black market the last couple of months?"

'The heck are they doing?' Loki thought as he looked at the four people debating with each other while sitting on chairs in an encirclement of about thirty other teenagers.

'I thought Ludwig was a low-level thug. When did they become part of a gang? Or are they trying to form a new gang or something?'

'It seems like he's having a meeting with the different gang leaders in the area, something to humiliate him in front of them would be good.'

'How do I take revenge though?' Loki wondered as he looked around the warehouse, there was a small room at the end of the warehouse that kept attracting his attention so Loki activated his spirit vision but there was nothing Beyonder-related inside it.

His eyes sparkled however as he spotted Princess Rapunzel climbing the wall and moving towards the room.

'Hmm…nothing to do here, but I'll scout around just in case. I'm hope Princess Rapunzel will be back soon with good news.'

'They're keeping themselves distracted. Less trouble for me. I can take my time to decide how I want to punish them.'

Loki idly stared around the warehouse looking for something to gain inspiration, when he suddenly heard a *squeak* beside him and spotted Princess Rapunzel near him.

"Oh? What happened Princess Rapunzel?" Loki asked with a smile.

*Squeak* *Squeak*

The Niffler squeaked and began to turn its body around, indicating something using its actions.

"Huh? Do you want me to follow you?" Loki asked the Niffler and it nodded.

"Fine.", Loki jumped down from the air conditioner he was standing on and arranged the cards of Blasphemy he'd been carrying around so that they wouldn't fall off.

He then began to follow the tiny Niffler that was running around the walls of the warehouse.

Moving around the warehouse, Loki spotted another broken window and after waiting for a bit, he saw Princess Rapunzel climbing into it.

Loki dragged a nearby wooden crate to climb to the window's height and looked around the room that was visible behind it.

'Was this the room that was inside the warehouse?'

"You want me to come in?" Loki asked Princess Rapunzel who was already on the other side of the window having entered the room through a vent.

*Squeak*

"Fine, I'll come, give me a second."

Spreading his spirituality on the lock on the window, Loki focused his mind on opening it.

*Click*

A faint click resounded through the room but did not escape it, allowing Loki to swing open the window and enter.

"Now what?" Loki asked the Niffler.

*Squeak* *Squeak*

The Niffler climbed the wall like a spider and slipped behind a painting on the far wall of the room.

'What? Is there a secret stash behind it?'

Loki immediately moved forward and pushed the painting to the side, only to be met with a Niffler sitting on a locked safe.

"Ha! You did good Princess Rapunzel!" Loki said petting the Niffler with happiness.

"You did Gwood Pwincess Rapunzel!!" Elane praised too, mimicking Loki by scratching it behind its ear.

Loki moved his hand close to the lock on the safe and did the same thing he had done with the lock on the window, pushed his spirituality into it and focused on unlocking it.

The safe opened soundlessly and Loki found himself staring at rolls of cash and an old book that Loki declared to be a ledger after going through it for a little bit.

'Ha! Now that I have this, I have an idea for the best surprise I can give him.'

But then Loki looked at the Niffler and found that it had become disappointed that there were no shiny items in the safe.

So Loki remedied the situation by bargaining with the Niffler, "I'll give you a galleon when we return, alright?"

*Squeak* *Squeak*

"In the meanwhile can you store these things in your pouch?" Loki asked with a soft smile.

*Squeak* *Squeak*

The Niffler began to store everything inside its pouch while Loki pulled out a clean paper from the ledger book and using a pen in the office, he began to write something on it.

'Wait, what will my alias be in the world? I can't take Fool like Klein so what will mine be?'

'Should it just be Error?'

Loki thought for a bit and then when he figured out what to write he grew a smirk.

"Ha! Now I can't wait to see his face once he realises what happened with his money."

"Thirty thousand pounds, all for me!"

"Big bwother, don't smile like that, you look scary." Elane said but she had a creepy smile on her little face too, as if she understood exactly what Loki was doing.

"Haha! Elane! How can I not laugh?! I am so very happy today!" Loki said picking up Elane and rubbing his face against her cheeks in a giddy mood.

'I can finally avenge you, at least a little, Loki.'

With the Niffler having stored everything and Loki having written a note, he smiled happily before closing the safe and placing the painting back to cover it.

Loki slipped back out through the window but before he left, he stared at the small stack of newspapers in the corner and focused his spirituality on it.

A small flame sparked in the room and before anyone could do anything the entire stack of paper had begun blazing with flames.

'*Sigh* I can still only use about three spells before tiring myself out. I hope a wand is really as impressive as grandma made it out to be.'

But still with a happy smile on his face because of what he had achieved, Loki along with Elane and Princess Rapunzel, slipped into the darkness of the night leaving behind a blaze that was bound to kick up a storm.
