This is my first Tasertricks fanfic, and my first Avengers one, so bear with me. Loki•Darcy because I love the idea of such opposites together. Takes place after the Avengers but AU from Thor 2.

Prologue

Loki, fallen prince of Asgard, was in deep trouble. Odin had made this quite obvious with the passionate rant that had greeted the prisoner, freshly captured after his attempt to rule Midgard with the Chiutari's assistance.

"Why, my son? Why would you do such things?" Odin wondered, turning to the frost giant. Loki merely snarled, replying with a sharp retort.

"Because I am not your son." he snapped. The Allfather sighed, sensing that there would be no reasoning with the Jotunn. He would have to learn his lesson the hard way, much as Thor had.

"Loki, my boy, you understand so much, but you know nothing of consequences. You are to return to Midgard with Thor and stay with those who defeated you as they rebuild what your childish tantrum destroyed. What you choose effects others more than you can imagine, son."

I know, it's short, but it's a prologue. The first real chapter should be up soon. Please remember to review, and suggestions for what should happen next are always welcome!
