So! After changing my mind about twenty-five times, I think I've decided that one of my characters is going to be an AU version of Journey Into Mystery's kid!Loki. Backstory will be something like this, if permissible:
Once, there was a demon named Loki. He was a Liar of the very worst variety, a resentful, seething pit of jealousy and ambition. He schemed, and he manipulated, and he did terrible things to humans to pay for the assistance of his demon allies, then turned around and stabbed those allies in the back. He had something of a reputation for telling lies every time his lips moved, and another for setting into motion with small nudges unpleasantly catastrophic events.
Case in point: the scheme that goaded a powerful Devastator into nearly destroying a sizable portion of Downtown and the surrounding districts. But perhaps that had not been his intention at all, for in the midst of the chaos, Loki took on the Devastator, incidentally preventing a much greater loss of life, and died as the result.
...perhaps. For like so much else, Loki's death, too, was false.
In the place where the demon Loki had died, there awakened a boy — a human boy, for all intents and purposes, powerless, though unquestionably still Loki, for those able to sense such things. And he was a good boy (was he?), much less inclined to destructive tendencies (truly?), doing his very best to make it by on quick deals and quicker words in a world full of enemies he did not make and remembered only in snatches of dreams. (Unless that, too, was a lie.) In his own convoluted and dissembling way, he even did his best to help those that might have need of it — except, of course, when his plans went terribly long. (Although perhaps that was the plan.)
Also!
I am absolutely up for knowing anyone for any reason! THIS MEANS YOU. :)
Demons, if you want to have been stabbed in the proverbial back, Loki's your guy.
Humans, if you want kid!Loki as a gopher/sometimes-conspirator, he is currently scraping by and taking odd jobs.
If she needs things planted in place in advance, she probably uses what she thinks will be inconspicuous: children are probably good at that. Leave a bag here, no one will think too much of a kid "forgetting" a backpack type thing. Sometimes spying, as well.
