Disclaimer:I do not own Thor. At All. Like I wish I did, but sadly I do not/ So I just stick with fanfiction.

Authoress Note: Dear God in greyhound I have been wanting to write for Thorsince I saw the movie on opening night in my hometown. However, I found no time and no solid inspiration. Now, later, I have a more solid ground to work off of!

Extra Note: So just so you know the Avengers will be poked at in these little stories I am writing, OK? Not just the ones that we'll be getting in the movie, either. Like some from the comics and even Avengers: Earth's Mighiest Heroes. I just thought I should give ya all a heads up. But do know that most of these will center on the Thor universe.


Choices

Two years. Dude I cannot believe it has been two years since the Avengers team was made. I can't believe it's been four years since Jane ran over Thor and changed our lives (OK technically I was the one driving when we hit him in the desert, but that was totally Jane's fault for dragging us into the dust tornado thing!).

It took us awhile to get Thor back. Jane was totally persistent, though. If Erik and I hadn't forced her to bed, she would have stayed up for like days without sleep to search for her hunky god boyfriend who got sucked into the stars (and yes that is totally what happened so don't look at me like I'm crazy!). And it probably would have taken us longer if it weren't for S.H.I.E.L.D and Tony Stark.

Tony-freaking-Stark! I know him! I am on a total first name bases with him now! Hell we're Twitter and Facebook pals now… And it turns out a lot of the stories about him are sotrue. He's a total Playboy flirty child. Cool and fun, but totally a pain in the ass as well. And a dumbass. I mean for a guy who calls himself "the man of tomorrow", he totally knows nothing about people and hints. I mean how does it take you four years to figure out a chick likes you? Pfft, some genius. Pepper Potts has got to be the most amazingly patient and in love woman in the universe to put up with all the shit she probably had to deal with, being Tony's assistant and future wife.

Anyway off topic! So yeah if it weren't for Tony and Shield, who knows how we would have gotten Thor back. And I guess Agent Coulson should get some thanks as well, even if I still find him as an ass for stealing my iPod when we first met. But whatever. Anyway, when Coulson told his SHIELD boss what was up, his boss, Director Fury (and dude his name totally fits and when you see him angry or persistent you'll agree) who sends word to Tony Stark. Tony gets a whiff of what Jane's up to and he steps in to fund us along with SHIELD and bang! we were on a roll and a step faster to getting to Jane back into the arms of her thunder god (and hopefully laid).

Tony and Jane are like the smartest people I know (which is totally not saying much, seeing as I have a friend named Louis who tried to jump off the roof with cardboard strapped to his body cause he thought it would make him fly… Long story) and they were total opposites. Jane was all about focus and seriousness and all that other scientist shtick, while Tony would be working for like an hour or less before announcing he wanted to go and party and would attempt to drag Jane and I out with him. I was totally for it, but Jane would just roll her eyes and go back to work.

But like, even though Tony would slack off, he was all about what he said he could do. And he did it. He helped get the Rainbow Bridge thing to work. Took us two years, but hey better than never, right? And so then we all traveled back to the same place where me and Jane and Erik had all first met Thor, and kicked it off.

Nothing happened at first and I could see Jane looking like she was going to need hugs and ice-cream ASAP… But then it finally kicked off and a huge bright light shot up into the sky. It had so many colors! And we all just waited for what felt like hours, before the light flickered for a while and then out walked Thor! Ok well more like he stumbled out, but whatever, he came out! He was back!

The agents couldn't keep Jane behind the safe-line, cause she charged through them and ran at Thor, who sobered up quickly before they were like meshed together in hugs and mouths to the point I thought they'd get it on right on the desert ground. But then Fury and Tony stepped up and the moment was paused and put on hold, cause we had a total problem in the form of like Thor's half-brother; Loki.

And boy was he a pain in the ass! SHIELD and the Avengers – The unfrozen and actually hot but shy Captain America, the leather and badass hot chick that was Black Widow, Iron Man, Thor, the robin-hood wannabe Hawkeye, and the big really scary green dude called Hulk – were not doing so hot at first. Cap and Iron Man kept fighting, Hulk was going berserk all the time while fighting with Hawkeye, and Thor was still having issues over having to beat down his brother – which he so didn't want to do. Black Widow was the only one who seemed focused enough to work.. But her alone wasn't enough to stop Loki.

It was looking pretty bad for us for a while there… But something happened. Maybe the guys had a bar night or something and discovered "oh yeah! We're on the same team! We should be fighting Loki, not each other", cause almost like magic they came together. They became like a badass team! Loki didn't stand a chance! Everytime he tried to rise up, wham! The Avengers took him down again and again before he wasn't seen for like almost eight months... Only to drop in, literally, on a meeting (which had seriously scared the shit out of me!) Fury was having everyone attend.

"Brother? Why have you come here!" Thor had boomed, Mew-mew in his hand and ready to bash his half-brother like a pancake as Bruce Banner – Hulk's human form who was being let out by Hulk for some yard time – trembled to keep the Hulk at bay, muttering to himself (totally freaky really). Captain America and Black Widow were poised to go and Hawkeye had an arrow pointed at Loki's eye! And I was just stuck with my mocha frappe and iPod!

But luckily for me – and the standing of the base – Loki hadn't come to fight… He'd come to join. It was so random! He allowed Fury to lock him up after explaining to the Avengers – while Fury was kicking me and the others out which was so rude – his choice and why he was there. When Thor told me and Jane we were like blown away. Well I was more than Jane. Jane had dragged Thor off to talk to him while he seemed confused. Me? I was just baffled while Loki's decision had everyone doing backflips while singing "Yankee Doodle Dandy" in a clown costumes. Nobody knew how to react to this! The dude they'd been fighting this whole time... Was handing himself over and asking to join.

Wouldn't you be confused?

But that didn't last too long. Two weeks later, Loki was allowed to roam SHIELD (only with Black Widow and JARVIS, Tony's super computer, watching him) and well he was slowly making friends. Tony liked him. But then again Tony was actually laid back about a lot of things, so he took to Loki like a metal fish to water (yeah I know that sounds weird but whatever. Ya get what I mean). And it seemed they liked to play Chess against each other. They had yet to fully finish a game with a winner though.

And when Captain America started to get comfortable and almost budy with him, people seemed to fall in stride. Must be because he's a captain. Whatever the reason, it worked for Loki. Which was cool with me, cause then I wouldn't have to deal with people asking me why I had made friends with him.

Dude he was the God of Mischief! He was wicked at pranks and helping me sneak out of SHIELD base for nights I needed out for fun. And he knew some awesome jokes when ya loosened him up (which is so not easy, OK! It was like trying to crack open a two-hundred thick wall of Ice with a very small ice-pick!).

And as for Thor and loki? Well... They're working on it… Mostly Loki is. Thor was quickly forgiving of his brother of course. He only wanted to return love and brotherhood that he hadn't been able to give Loki in the past (at least that's what he's told me and Jane and Erik). And for the most part, Loki seemed to be slowly accepting it. Which is good cause family drama with the Asgardian brothers needed to be avoided for SHIELDs health.

But really… I think the main reason Loki is coming to accept where he is and his brother and his decision to come to SHIELD… Is because of Jane. I can't really explain it, cause it baffles me, but I think that Jane is making Loki change. And dude if you listen to them talk about stars and constellations and all that crap, you'd laugh at how much alike they are about that crap! It's hilarious… Even if it gives me a headache and I end up blocking them out by the middle of it with some music. Thank god for Papa Roach!

"Darcy! What art though doing?" Thor asked as he walked into the kitchen, wearing a shield muscle shirt and jean, spotting Darcy typing away at her magic box she called a "laptop". The humans had such odd technology. Odd, but fascinating.

Darcy looked up from her laptop, a piece of toast hanging from her mouth. "Mmjhus hhrrtin ssmm shuff" she said with a mouth full of toast. Thor gave her a puzzled look before grabbing his sixth cup of coffee for the morning and making his way towards the library where Jane was supposed to be.

He passed by agents who greeted him with nods, waves, or hellos, as they hurried by. He smiled as he spotted Lady Potts, who was going over some notes, stopping to ask him if he'd seen Tony anywhere and that if Thor ran into him, would Thor tell Tony Starks that he was in trouble with Lady Potts. Thor informed her he would, before making his was once again to the library.

He smiled as he spotted the big oak doors. Stepping through them, he made his way carefully through the large library in search of Jane and his brother. The library was two stories tall and full of books and statues and many areas to sit and do research or relax and read. Entering you would find yourself on the second floor and would take stairs to go up or down.

With his sensitive hearing he listened for Jane. He stopped, however, when he heard her voice… And his brothers? Furrowing his brow, Thor looked down over the railing of the second floor to where he could just look under and see Jane sitting at a table. Maps of the stars and books of all kind were spread out on the table as she wrote and tapped at the map. Thor smiled as she pushed her hair out of her face and smiled… Only to feel himself frown as she turned her attention to her right where his brother sat.

Loki was dressed the way Thor had seen him when his brother had come to see him and lied of their father's death. He was sitting with one hand flat on the desk, the other pointing out star formations to Jane. He was smiling. Not just smiling to be smiling… He was smiling at Jane.

Thor felt something clench at his heart and throat at the thought. He furrowed his brow and as quietly as possible for him he watched them, feelings mixing and battling inside him. He was happy to see that his brother had made friends. That his brother was fitting in. He was happy to see Jane and his brother getting along. He was happy for hat… But he was not happy seeing them happy together without him. .. And he didn't understand why.

"Thor? Are you OK?" Thor blinked at the sudden intrusion to his thoughts, pulling out a warm smile as Jane looked up at him smiling, though looking concerned for him. "I am fine Jane Foster. Forgive me for not making my appearance known. I was simply lost in thought," he explained, before grinning as he jumped over the bars and landed behind her. Jane laughed as she turned to hug him.

He ran his fingers through her hair as she babbled shyly against his chest. He looked up and met the eyes of his brother. The two shared a look. A look that made Thor's limbs tighten and his jaw square just slightly. For the look Loki was giving him was… Was a look that spoke of a challenge… A challenge for what?

"-and Loki has been very helpful!" Thor released her as she walked over to the maps. "I couldn't have figured this all out without him!" She was excited, as she turned to Loki with her warm and affection coated smile that Thor loved for her to give him. His brother smiled back, an actual almost fully warm smile, and gave a small shrug. "It was no trouble, Miss Foster. You already had a strong knowledge to work with. I simple filled in the blanks," he replied smoothly. Thor stiffened as a blush lightly coated Jane's face as she laughed. It was her nervous laugh as well… Thor's teeth grinded slightly.

Jane looked down at her new map of the system, her blush slowly fading, as Thor realized exactly what the challenge was. He squared himself slightly and gave Loki a hardened look. A battle for Jane's affection. That was what Loki was baiting. And Thor would not back down. He met Loki's gaze with his own sharp answer.

I accept.

Explanation time! OK so I know you all are going to be asking me "why did you have Darcy POV in the beginning and then switch to Thor's?" Oh well that's easy. See, I wanted to have Darcy explain my own AU of Loki joining the Avengers. It's very random, I know I know. But it makes sense to me and if I ya want a full out explanation PM me. Otherwise this'll be a LONG ASS extra extra Authoress note. And those can get boring. I do apologize if it confuses you, I really do. I'm trying OK! This is my first Thor fic! Cut some slack x3

Anyway I'll try to add more of my one-shots soon, OK? I'm dealing with my college shit right now and that comes before my writing, so sooorrryyy! Oh but R & R Plz! Those give me fuzzies :D
