Within an hour they were all on the hellicarrier. They all waited in the debriefing room with the glass table. Coffee in almost all there hands. Kim kept wiping tears away, worry never leaving her. What was Loki doing to her son? Quinn looked ready to hit something , sipping her coffee. Gage stood by her and Clint paced. Coulson walked in, some papers in and. "Deja vu. What do we know?" Quinn let out a breath. "Nothing. Loki is back and he has my brother." Clint spoke next. "We don't know what he's planning but it can't be good. Maybe even a repeat performance of the last time he invaded." Quinn glared at the table. "Isn't there anything we can do to track Loki down? Get him when he isn't expecting it." Coulson looked over at her. "I have my people searching for him. We attempted to track TJ but Loki must have turned off his tracker. We still have all his information from his last invasion. If he makes a move, we'll know." Quinn shook her head, standing and walking out of the room. She couldn't do this right now without being a total smart-ass and Coulson doesn't deserve that kind of lip from her. Gage watched her leave, looking between Tony and Coulson. Both agreeing the same. Coulson spoke. "Go to her." Gage nodded, following. Tony shook his head, feeling anxiety prickle at the back of his head. This was just like the Battle of New York. Only it was as if he was a spectator and his daughter and bodyguard took the place of him and Steve. That reminded him, looking up at Coulson. "Are the others coming?" Coulson nodded. "I contacted the rest, they should be here sometime today."

Quinn got to the Hulk chamber or what should be Loki's prison, sulking with her arms crossed. Loki should be in there, her brother should be safe. They should all be home right now arguing over what movie to watch for that evening or hoping dad didn't burn down the mansion as he tried to help mom make dinner. She felt her eyes burn with unshed tears and a lump form in her throat. She swallowed it down, blocking out everything. Everything but the anger she felt toward Loki. For violating and invading her mind, for kidnapping her brother for his own needs. Forcing the blood of innocents on her brothers hands. And for nearly ending her fathers life when he invaded New York the first time around. She heard footsteps and already knew who it was as he leaned against the railing, putting her weight on her hands. Gage walked up to her, slowly. She spoke first. "So they sent you after me?" He sighed, walking closer. "Well you did kinda storm off, excuse us for being a little worried." She stayed quiet,staring intently at the glass prison. Gage continued. "And after the week you've had-" 'I'm fine." She spoke sternly. Gage glared weakly.

"You locked yourself in isolation for a week after a very traumatic experience-" "That's the understatement of the century." He glared, turning her around by her arm, both glaring as he continued. "And now you come out of your little cave and your brother gets kidnapped by a somewhat life long enemy. Yeah. I'm gonna be worried about you. You had a anxiety attack when I scared you by accident." She glared. "So what exactly are you saying?" He glared, softer. "I'm saying that it's too soon for you to go head first into battle, let alone a battle that may or may not force you to kill or hurt your own brother." "I would never do that." Gage glared. "He may not give you a choice. If Loki orders him to kill you then he will. You can't see him as your brother. You have to see him as a nothing. A nobody. A Body. " She glared, starting to walk out of the room. "I can't believe you right now." He turned, glaring. "Quinn-" She turned, glaring, eyes watery.

"No! You might be able to see him as nothing more then a body trying to kill us. You might be able to block out it's someone you love trying to kill you like they've never known us. But I can't. I can''t just shut myself off like you. I was never taught to be heartless." She knew she shouldchave stopped speaking right then and put her foot in her mouth. Gage's eyes nearly widen in shock and hurt. She continued, how much more can she fucked this up anyway? "That is my brother Loki has under his control and no matter what I love him and I cannot kill him. Even if he's trying to kill me." He buried the hurt under anger, glaring. "Too weak to kill those you are trying to kill you? Do you have any self-preservation?" She glared, ignoring how her eyes watered. "When it comes to my families safety? No." "Then when you die out there don't come crying to me." She glared, fighting off tears. "Don't worry. I won't." She quickly walked out of the room before he could see any tears. The implication hanging heavy in the air. Once she was gone he ran both hands down his face, wiping away his own tears. Why did they say those things? Why did they always say such horrible things at the most horrible times?

Quinn was in the mess hall of the hellicarrier, sipping her third cup of coffee when she saw her family walk thru the entrance with Steve, Katie and there 14 year old daughter Amelia who looked exactly like her father, Steve Rodgers. Fought just as well to. Amelia saw Quinn, smiling and walking over more quickly. "Quinn!" Quinn smiled, hugging her. "Captain junior!" They both laughed and Steve rolled his eyes. Tony chuckled lightly. Amelia smiled, pulling back. "Not yet." Steve spoke up. "Not ever if it was my choice." Katie rolled her eyes, moving to Quinn, hugging her. "Hey sis. How you been?" Quinn smiled. "Oh just fine..." Gage shook his head making a mental note to talk to Katie later about how not fine Quinn is. Katie frowned. "I'm sorry about TJ. You'll get him back." Quinn smirked weakly. "Were not going home without him." Coulson then appeared behind them all. "I need you all in the debriefing room. Dr. banner is on his way and we can only assume Thor will be here sometime today." Tony and Steve both turned. Steve spoke first. "Right away." Coulson nodded, walking away. The superheroes and super human all started to walk down the hall, Quinn started to follow as Katie, Amelia and Kim stayed behind but Gage stopped her. "Not you." She glared. "what the fuck do you mean not me?" He glared. "I mean your not mentally stable enough to go into battle. Not with your anxiety. Stay here or I'll get Couloson to lock you up." She glared but stayed quiet as Katie walked closer to her in confusion. Gage gave her one last guilty look before walking down the hall to the debriefing room. Kim looked at her daughter with a sad, knowing look. Wishing she could do more. Amelia and Katie both looked confused and sad. Amelia spoke first. "What did he by mentally stable?" Quinn shook her head, heading get another coffee.

On the other side of town in the same lair he once had, Loki and his mind controlled minions were preparing for there invasion. Loki watched and answered there questions. He hasn't slept or rested since he was sent to earth by Thanos. He now was watching over the preparations being made for the portal generator. He knew as soon as he started attacking those stupid humans would only send out another bomb thus leveling everything, leaving it all open for him to build. He closed his eyes a moment, feeling a wave of fatigue. "Sir?" Loki opened his eyes, turning to see TJ, his eyes bright blue with the tesseract. He spoke. "Yes Stark, what is it?" TJ seemed hesitant a moment before speaking, arms behind his back. Geared to the teeth. "I think you should rest sir. Take a nap. Enjoy yourself for a few minutes." TJ couldn't help the small smirk. Loki smirked weakly, getting some sort of hint. "And just what do you mean by enjoy myself?"

He walked closer, staff in hand. He saw how TJ looked him up and down. He didn't miss the lust in those eyes. Once he was close he nearly whispered with smirk. "do you mean for me to touch myself Stark?" "I could help." Loki was taken aback by the response. With Clint under his command, he was never so sexual but could have been if ordered. A perfect little soldier. TJ was different. He took after his dad in most ways and the tesseract tends to exaggerate some more dominant personalty traits. TJ was looking down on him with a small smirk.

Loki swallowed, thinking it over. He could but this was one person he didn't want to take advantage of. He cared for him. He's saved him once like an angel from one of the awful guards and showed him what life could be like at his sisters wedding. He wanted to growl to himself. Sentiment. It only brought him pain. But maybe just for a moment, he can indulge. Before he could speak thou TJ had brought his face to his, crashing lips together gently and invading all warm and wet and Loki craved more. He kissed back before pulling away with a smirk. "My quarters, now." He started to walk down the hall, TJ following behind closely.

Once inside and Loki locked the door he was pinned against the wall with a warm mouth crashing against his own. He melted under it's warmth, grasping at his shirt and weapons, wanting them off, wanting to be as close as possible. TJ smirked, kissing his neck before taking his gear off followed by his shirt. Loki admired him as he undressed, gently feeling between the curves of his abs and biceps and shoulders. Oh lord those shoulders. He felt TJ tremble with pleasure under his hands as he took his pants and boots off. Once he was only his boxers, Loki could see the hard member that was standing proudly and achingly. Loki bit his lip, feeling himself had grown achingly hard as well, starting to strip himself of his leathers and armors. Once his was nude before his soon to be lover, TJ had him pinned against the door, kissing and suckling down his neck as he lead the God to the large bed, pushing him down gently as he captured his lips again, his hands roaming all over Loki's lithe body, starting to stroke and rub his hard member. Loki moaned into the kiss. TJ spoke lowly in his ear. "Do you have any lube or oils?" Loki nodded, still panting, pointing to them on the desk. TJ got them quickly, taking his own boxers off and Good lord Loki knew he was close to drooling as he admired his body. TJ started kissing his neck, suckling. Loki melted, knowing there would be a hickey, not caring.

Then he felt a oiled up finger enter him, he tensed, coming back to reality, pushing TJ away gently to look in his eyes. TJ frowned. "What? Did I hurt you?" Loki swallowed. "Is this your first time with a male?" TJ smirked. "Yep. Now relax." Loki felt guilt sting him, taking advantage. Taking this first time away from him. Then he felt a second finger, thrusting in and out so amazingly. Once he hit that special spot inside him, he arched in pleasure, gasping out, moaning. "Ooh yes.." TJ smirked, continuing to thrust his fingers on that spot. Loki was a moaning, mess of pleasure, gripping the sheets as he panted and moaned out. Then he felt a warm, moist heat around his achingly hard member and saw TJ sucking away at it, bobbing his head as he thrust. Loki whined, his hands going to grip his hair. "Oh...Gods...ahh..." once he felt he was too close, he pushed TJ away, blurting out best he could as he panted from pleasure. "I don't want to come...like that... I want you inside me..." TJ smirked, going back to licking and suckling gently at his member while he slicked his own member up. Loki whined, gripping the sheets. He gasped out when TJ lifted from his member, positioning there hips. He could barely feel him breaching but TJ had his arms wrapped around him so softly, protective. "Ready?" Loki was mildly confused by asking if he was ready. No one had ever done that. Most were not consensual. He wrapped his arms around TJ's shoulders, nodding.

TJ pushed in, gently, sinking in. a low moan escaping him. Loki moaned, biting his lip as he felt himself being filled up. Then once TJ was seated completely inside him, he kissed his cheek, his neck and Loki felt like crying. He had never being given such affection. Only pain and force. Then TJ started to move, thrusting in and out, moaning, holding Loki close in his arms. Loki had his own arms wrapped around him tightly, panting and moaning and never wanting this moment to stop. He gasped as he hit that spot again, moaning, gripping around him tighter, putting nail marks in his back which only spurred the Stark on. TJ groaned, going faster, harder. Loki whined. He was so close and he could tell his lover was as well. He suckled on his neck as he continued thrusting harder inside him. Loki moaned into his neck as he suckled on the tender skin. Two more thrusts and he was over the edge, coming hard between them. TJ gasped, riding out his orgasm. "Ooh...Loki..." Loki whined, detaching from his neck, panting in the aftermath. His eyes were closed. He expected TJ to get dressed and walk out and go about his business Then after a few moments he felt a cloth rubbing his stomach, cleaning. He opened his eyes,seeing TJ clean him of his mess.

He blushed. "Your still here?" TJ raised an eyebrow. "Yeah...do you not want me here?" Loki frowned. "No...it's...Why are you still here?" TJ smiled weakly. "I don't know...just...your different.." Loki scowled. "different does not begin to-" "But I want to stay. Someone has to protect you." Loki frowned, looking away. "No need. You may go about your business if you like." Loki yawned, grabbing his covers but then he felt TJ snuggle up behind him, holding him close, whispering. "Someone has to protect you...even if it's from yourself." Loki tensed. How did TJ know about him? He felt his eyes closing and chose it pointless to wonder. The loving behavior would only last as long as the tesseract which means he would mostly like be gone from him once the invasion was over. He tried to keep the tears away but a few escaped to his embarrassment. He hid his head in the mattress, willing his body to fall into exhaustion and sleep. He wouldn't admit to himself just how nice it was to have TJ hold him. His protector.

AN: and welcome to the new season! :D
