"Jane, are you ready?" she spun around at the voice. Erik smiled kindly at her. She released a large breath.
"Erik, is this right?" she questioned. She knew that Erik would be honest with her. Her heart stuttered as his smile faltered. Then it returned, softer as he approached. He grabbed her elbows.
"Jane. If you had asked me that a year ago, I would have told you no. No possible way that you should be doing this. However, that was a year ago, a few months after the Chitauri incident. Now…I think that he has changed. I think that you have changed him." Erik wiped a tear that had started to make it's way down her face. "Believe it or not, he has already asked me the same question. He didn't know whether I would be okay with this. We had a long conversation, and it made me realize just how good he is for you." Erik kissed her forehead. "Jane. Loki loves you. And you love him. This is the most right thing you've ever done." He assured her.
Jane hugged him gently.
"Yo! Come on! The groom is getting antsy! If he doesn't chill out, then I'll taser him!" Darcy threatened through the door. Jane laughed lightly, wiping her eyes once again. Erik held out his arm to her and she accepted, white dress billowing out behind her.
As she made her way down the aisle, staring at those beautiful green eyes, she flashed back to their shared past.
His punishment from Asgard was exile, similar to Thor. He lost his powers until he deserved them again. The Avengers took him in, slowly forgiving, never forgetting. Thor and Jane continued their relationship, getting rockier and rockier until finally Jane broke up with him. In this time, she had been getting closer and closer to Loki, and couldn't help her feelings. Loki slowly started to change for the better. He learned the errors of his ways. And the day came where he got his power back. The day where he jumped in front of Jane as a doombot was on the verge of attacking. It was the second time a man had saved her from a robot of some sort. It was the first time it felt like her life was over when Loki got thrown sideways, spine making a sickening crack.
But it was all okay. His powers returned an instant later. Loki seemed to realize just how short Midgardian lives could be and immediately confessed his growing feelings for Jane, which of course she returned. And now, nearly a year and a half later, here they were.
"Do you Jane Foster take Loki as your lawfully wedded husband, in sickness and in health, in richness and in poorness, so long as you both shall live?" Coulson, who apparently was an ordained minister, droned. Jane grinned at Loki who responded with a blinding smile of his own.
"I do."
"And do you Loki take Jane Foster as your lawfully wedded wife, in sickness and in health, in richness and in poorness, so long as you both shall live?" Loki's smile grew.
"Of course I do." He said in a tone that made everyone laugh. Jane felt the tears fall as she waited for Coulson to say it. Mr. and Mrs. Foster. They had decided to keep her last name since Loki was still uncertain what his family name should be.
"Okay then. By the power vested in me by the state of New York and the realm of Asgard, I now pronounce you, husband and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Foster. You may now kiss your bride."
Loki swiped the few tears that fell down her face and then leaned down and kissed her soundly. She wrapped her arms around his neck, smiling into the kiss.
As they pulled away, they smiled at one another.
Their lives were just beginning and mistakes of the past did not matter. They had so much to look forward to.
R & R. Just a quick little prologue.
