Save me
Chapter 1: We made the perfect pair
Tony Stark was a modern man. A playboy, genius, philanthropist and the Iron Man. He saw megalomaniac villains in daily basis and a few months back he fought against a god, along with the Avengers, and stopped an alien invasion. But even in his life He never saw something like this.
"This is wrong in so many levels", he said earning a few glances from the other avengers.
In the middle of his living room, now newly redecorated with a broken window, stood Thor the God of Thunder out of breath and holding a young fainted brunet in his arms. The scene wouldn't be so strange if the young lady wasn't his young brother which has been newly extradited for trying to dominate the world with an alien army.
The scene was too surreal. And for a few instants the members of the Avengers Initiative presents in the tower, now headquarters were too shocked to do anything. Fortunately, Steve Rogers decided to act. After all, even if Loki had been his enemy once, right now he was only a young lady that clearly needed medical care.
Bruce realized his friend and leader intentions and approached Thor, making mention to help him to carry her. Thor, without noticing, took a few steps back, holding possessive and protectively his burden.
"It's better to put her on the litter, Thor", said Steve, with a soothing effect and Thor consented with a desolate expression and obviously lost on how to proceed.
"This way", indicated Bruce, guiding him by the arm.
In no time at all they arrived to the infirmary floor and laid her down. Bruce started to examine her, but without knowing what happened, he didn't have a clue where to start. Even Tony was helping him out of guilty for his early commentary. Steve then brought two chairs closer to the litter, leaving enough room to Bruce and Tony could work. And without pressuring, he waited that the God of Thunder started his story. After a long sigh, he started.
***FLASHBACK***
Thor was nervous. More nervous than had been in his failed coronation, years ago.
If someone told him days ago that he would marry almost as soon as he arrived in Asgard, he would probably laugh. But that changed when he met his young bride to be, a young and beautiful princess Jotun which name always escaped him.
She was his total opposite. Shy and smooth talker; with a very sharp sense of humor, sometimes doubtful. She was caring and he loved the way that she blushed with the smallest of praises.
In the day they were introduced, they spent most of the day walking through the gardens trying to know more about each other, and he discovered a few things about her. Although she was from another realm, she was raised in Asgard and had a small family, composed by her father, mother and a brother. But they didn't dwell too much on the subject since it brought a terrible migraine to both of them.
In a matter of days they were inseparable, and he no longer imagine his life without her. And soon the arranged marriage between theirs realms didn't look so bad. On the contrary, it would be wonderful.
One day before their marriage he stole a kiss when they departed. She, surprised, open her mouth in protest. It was the cue that he needed and soon the chaste kiss became passional. And he felt the happiest man in the world when he felt her body melt in his arms.
Then yes, he was extremely nervous and anxious. In his coronation he was calmed by his brother Loki before standing in front of all the court, but he wasn't there at the moment. After their return from Midgard he brought Loki to their father for his punishment and they haven't seen each other since, but he didn't like to think too much about it because just the mention of his name was enough to bring an absurd migraine.
His jitters left as soon as he saw the blushing face of his bride, now wife. Too bad that so few were present in the celebration. Only six witnesses needed according to the traditions of asgardian weddings¹, the Warriors Three and Lady Sif were present along Odin and Frigga. For a brief moment, he thought that his friends were not happy for him, because he caught a few whisperings and Lady Sif was clearly glaring at his wife. However, such thought escaped him when he saw the happiness of his wife and the approval of his father.
It didn't take too long for the newly married couple bid their goodbyes and collect themselves to their chambers for the wedding night.
Nothing was more sensual than her inexperience, the touch of her young and silky skin. But he wasn't in a hurry. He explored with calm and dexterity of a master all of her body showing her the way and soon she was following him. Uncertain and somewhat fearful at first, but nothing that the practice of the following days did not improve.
The time passed in a blink of an eye. And without realizing, he spent almost two months practically excluded of the rest of the realm. Missing his friends, he went look for them.
It didn't take long, because his friends were close to his chambers clearly upset for being barred by the guard. When they saw him, the Warriors Three took him away after he permitted the entry of Lady Sif, since she claimed having an urgent message to give her wife.
They just arrived the training fields when Volstagg punch him in the face. Fandral told him about a terrible plot that he and the king were victims and when he doubted it, Hogun beat him with a small tree trunk directly in the head, with such force that he flew a good tem meters. Despite the pain of the blow, for the first time in months, he could think clearly. He then became very angry.
When the four arrived back in Thor's chambers, it was clear that a similar discussion occurred there. Lady Sif was out of breath and looked uncertain to his wife that had a huge cut in her eyebrow and fingerprints in her face and neck.
She turned to him, when heard his arrival. And in months, he saw his brother face in front of him. So young and now so feminine. Without realizing he approach her and tried to touch her face. He only woke up when he got a slap, followed by another and another.
The Warriors Three and Lady Sif seemed frozen, just like him, when they saw Loki that was always so composed, advancing in Thor, pushing, attacking and accusing him of treason and calling him immoral.
"How could you, Thor? How could you?" she said hysterical, crying, with one hand above her belly and with her face contorted with pain.
Despite all his efforts the God of Thunder failed to calm her. Her screams were so anguished and loud that probably good part of Asgard could hear her. That's why he wasn't surprised when the doors of his chambers opened again, this time revealing Odin and Frigga.
Frigga ran to Loki and embraced her, without a thought, in a vain attempt to calm her. Odin didn't look surprised at all with the scene. He even seemed a little disinterested. I was then that Thor realized that the plot that his friends told him wasn't correct. To them it was all Loki's fault. One more trick of the God of Mischief to try to still the throne of Asgard. However, when he saw the All Father and Loki's reaction, he concluded that maybe it was Odin's fault.
Apparently Loki thought something along the same lines, because he turned her hysteria and indignation to Odin.
"The peace between our realms was necessary. It was up to you to forge it, Loki Daughter of Laufey, heir to the throne of Jotunheim", yelled Odin, shutting all up, except Loki.
"You accused me to try to still the throne, but it was you who did", said Loki leaving all astonished, "They call me the God of Lies, but they did not know that I have learned from the best, All Father", she yelled as loud as the king, "Immoral!"
Thor entered the discussion, and soon He and Odin were trading insults. But both stopped when they saw Loki on the floor, in a puddle of blood that flowed from between her legs. Frigga was yelling that someone took Loki to the healing room as fast as possible. Odin looked anguished seeing Loki in such state, but victorious at the same time for he now knew of a new heir to both kingdoms.
When Odin put a hand on his shoulder, like congratulating him for a well done job, Thor felt sick. But he tried not to show, and left his chambers. He knew from this moment on, Asgard would not be home for Loki anymore or any child brought by the perverse mind of his father.
Thinking that he went to the Trophy room, and taking the Tesseract he flew with Mijölnir searching for Loki so that they could return to Midgard.
***END OF FLASHBACK***
After hear the story, Steve was shocked, and his expression told everyone of that fact. Bruce was shaking and was breathing hard trying not Hulk out, and trying to keep focused on the ultrasound machine.
"That was terrible and all, but let's be practical. Your brother was already half insane before. Imagine how he is now. What makes you think that he won't blow us all?", said Tony with his peculiar subtlety.
"My brother was under a spell, just like my good friend Erik Selvig, Man of Iron", the god immediately replied getting up from his chair and sticking a finger in Tony's face, "Loki would never do something like this! He... she can have a strange humor and like pranks, but she would never hurt an entire race just for the fun of it. And in this moment, her disagreement is with the All Father.
"Calm down, Mr. Drapes. I was just asking. No offense. We all know that I don't know when to shut up", he said lifting his hands in surrender.
Bruce that was quiet so far gave a relieved sigh when he saw the monitor of the ultrasound machine.
"Everything is fine with mother and child. It appears that it was only a reaction after so many shocks. Anyway, I advise to avoid any effort and strong emotions right now. Because of its size we can't see it yet, but would you like to hear de heartbeat?" asked Bruce, and he was startled to see that Thor was already on his side.
And without expecting an answer he positioned the transducer and soon the sound of the rapid heartbeat filled the room. Thor couldn't help the smile that formed in his lips, and without realizing, he laid his huge hand on Loki's and stroked.

Author's notes:
Yeah, I know...cliché of the clichés of the clichés. But this story was hammering my head for days, so I had to write...lol. It's my first fic out of HP universe, so I apologize if it sucks. It would be wonderful to receive a few opinions about it :)
