Ok, I got several requests for a sequel so I decided to go ahead and do one. I hope you enjoy it! :)

Chapter 1

Thor strode up and down the hall outside his mother's chamber. She had said that she had something of importance to discuss with him, but refused to say anything at the time. He ceased his pacing when he heard the heavy door swing open, and then watched as his mother ushered him inside.

"What is this about, Mother", Thor asked as his mother closed the door.

"Thor, your brother is in grave danger and must be taken from Asgard."

"Mother, this thing can not be done. Father would not allow it."

"That is why he can not know. You must take Loki to Midgard."

"Mother! Loki will be no more safe on Earth than he is here!"

"You must promise me Thor. Loki has done terrible things, but he is still my son and I do not wish to see him harmed. Please, do this for me", Frigga begged.

Thor stared down at his mother wondering if she realized what she was asking him to do. Finally, with a heavy sigh he promised.

"I will do as you ask, Mother", he said quietly.

"Thank you, my son", she said, wrapping her arms around his neck, "You must act quickly, and take him from Asgard tonight. I will help in any way that I can."

"Do you already have a plan, or must I conjure one on my own", Thor asked dryly as he sank into one of the chairs in his mother's sitting room.

"I have a plan that I believe will work."

"Then you had best share it with me woman", Thor said in exasperation.

"It is simple. When the guards change, you will intercept them and I will free Loki. We will meet you in the secret passage, and you will take him to Midgard."

"What if he gets away from you, Mother? How will you explain this plot to father?"

"He will not get away that I can promise you."

Thor rose from his seat, and exited the room. He walked slowly back to his own quarters to await his mother's knock. He had been engrossed in some parchment when the soft knock finally came. He followed his mother down to the dungeons, and then intercepted the guards.

He hurried down to the passage after making sure the two men could be easily found. When he reached the place where his mother said she would meet him he found her hugging his brother. The two had always been very close, and he solemnly believed that Frigga was the only person Loki was capable of loving.

"Very well, let us depart", Thor boomed.

He watched as his brother looked up, his blue eyes shooting daggers.

"Hello, brother. Mother says it is you I have to thank for my daring rescue."

"No, it is your mother you have to thank. If it was up to me, you would still be in that cage."

Tony Stark sat at the table along with Pepper, Tasha, and Steve, looking at the pictures Cassie had sent them. The newlyweds appeared to be having the time of their lives if their smiling faces were any indication.

"That is the happiest I have ever seen Clint", Tasha murmured over Pepper's shoulder.

"Those two were just meant for each other", Pepper answered with a smile.

"Well, I don't know about you Steve, but this is making me nervous. Why don't we go catch what's left of the Yankee's game on TV?"

He watched as the blond man smiled gratefully before following him into the living room. Just as he'd switched on the television, lightning struck the tower and knocked out their power.

"What was that", Pepper asked, her voice a little shaky.

"JARVIS, what happened to our power", Tony yelled at the AI.

"There are two men on the roof, sir. Perhaps they had something to do with it."

"Oh crap! Steve you're with me, Tasha stay here with Pepper", Tony said before running for his suit.

He and Steve made it to the roof in record time to find a very angry Thor standing beside a smiling Loki.

"I am sorry to intrude, Tony, but my brother needs a place to stay for a time. I was hoping you and the others might be able to help."

Tony face palmed, and heard Steve groan. This was terrible and they would have to get SHIELD involved.

"Come on down Thor. I'll call Fury and see what he says about the whole situation", Tony said as he made his way to the waiting elevator.

The ride down was filled with tension and an eerie silence. The doors opened, and Tony watched as Natasha grabbed her for her gun while simultaneously placing Pepper behind her.

"What's going on? What is he doing here?"

"Easy, Red", Steve said stepping out of the elevator, "He's not here to cause trouble, are you", he said turning to the dark-haired man.

They all watched as Loki shook his head. Tasha relaxed, holstered her gun, and let Pepper go to Tony. She raised an incredulous brow as Steve made his way to her side.

"Clint is not going to be happy", she whispered.

"When do they get back?"

"Three days", Tasha said with a worried expression.

Pepper listened as Tony yelled into his phone and Thor and Loki argued quietly in a corner. She made her way over to where Tasha and Steve were sitting on the couch.

"What are you two discussing", she asked as she sat on the arm.

"Have you heard from Cas today", Tasha asked.

"No, not yet. I was planning on calling her in a little bit. Why?"

"Loki took control of Clint's mind, and we're concerned about how he'll react to all of this", Steve said gesturing to Loki and Thor.

"Oh dear, you're right. Do you think we should tell them?"

"I don't think it would be a good idea to let Clint find out on his own. Let's give Cassie a chance to talk to him", Tasha said.

Finally Tony got off the phone with Fury, he showed Thor and Loki to their rooms before coming back to the living room where his team was sitting.

"Who would have ever thought that Loki would be staying here", Tony said as he sat down heavily in his recliner.

"I'm going to go call Cassie and give her a heads up", Pepper said as she went up the stairs.

"Great! I didn't even think about Clint", Tony said running a hand through his already tousled hair.

"If anyone can take care of this, it's Cas", Tasha said with a smile.

Cassie lay on the beach listening to the crash of the waves on the shore. Clint had just left to go for a swim, and she was immersed in a book. She heard the buzzing of her phone and rolled over to find Pepper's face on her screen.

"Hi, Pepper. What's up?"

"Cas, we have a situation at the tower. I'm sure you've heard Clint speak about Loki?"

"Yes, he still has nightmares about that."

"Well, Loki is currently living in the tower. Thor brought him to Earth because he wasn't safe on Asgard. We wanted you to know so you could break the news to Clint."

Cassie sighed. Her husband was a strong man, but she wondered if he could handle this. She hung up with Pepper, and lay back staring at the clouds floating across the blue sky.

She watched as Clint came out of the ocean, water dripping from his hair and running down his smiling face. How was she going to tell him this? She closed her eyes, and began to plan her words very carefully.

Thanks for reading! Please review and tell me what you think? :)
