Summary
Loki likes maintaining his superhero secret identity, thank you very much.
So when he meets an absurdly gorgeous surgeon named Stephen and his equally absurdly adorable young daughter Wanda, he figures he can keep his romantic life and his professional life fully separated.
They don't need to know he's also an alien shapeshifter superhero. They don't need to get caught up in everything that Jane did when she started dating Thor. It doesn't matter what Jane says, this will totally work.
