Jagged Dawn (a 'Marvel's The Avengers' fic)

Disc.: I will never, no matter how much I wish it otherwise, own this series of awesome comics/movies…so ya'll might as well get used to it!

A/N: So, now that 'Fire and Ice' is all finished up…I was asked to do the sequel based on 'The Avengers' first movie, and here it is! It takes place about 5 years after the end of the original fic and has Ryordian trying to conquer Earth, he will probably also kill people just to prove a point so Loki and Thor, along with the other Avengers (Iron Man, The Hulk, Hawkeye, Captain America, and Black Widow) will have to put an end to his shenanigans…while at the same time trying to fend off unwanted advances from fanpeople and overzealous coworkers, just to mix it up a little and throw some humor in there. For now though, I will leave you with the text that follows this note, so it's time to get this fic started off right!

Ch.1- Unrest

The sun had started rising up over the 9 Realms, Asgard also being ensnared in the warming rays of pale gold that reminded one of the finest jewelry after it was refined to the point where no imperfections remained. The many residents of the castle and even the many hundreds of houses around said castle started awakening to prepare for their day, and this included the resident royal couple as they tried their best to keep from being pulled out of their slumber and each other's embrace.

Loki sighed in comfort as he felt his husband Thor pull him close to his broad chest, the bare skin caressing his bare back making him smile as he knew that the blonde belonged to him and no one else. The raven haired man was truly the happiest man in the whole of Asgard, aside from Hogun as him and Sif had welcomed their second child into the world 5 years ago, a dark blonde boy named Artair* who looked mostly like Hogun but with pale green eyes. He was a very shy but headstrong boy, who always followed after his sister Sìleas like a puppy…the girl didn't mind in the slightest and it was always adorable to watch them play together.

As the sun kept slowly rising up over the skyline, Loki knew that they'd have to get up at some point so he unhappily managed to remove himself from Thor's hold. The blonde reached for his lover but was upset to find the space next to him empty, his ears picking up the sounds of running water and a door opening as the scent of cherry blossom bath salts filtered towards his nose. Thor inhaled the heavenly scent deeply and sighed in contentment as he felt his lover place a kiss on the corner of his lips, the blonde opening his eyes to look into those of his lover. The raven haired Prince smiled lovingly at Thor, the blonde pulling the other man down for a deep and passionate liplock that lasted until they had to part for the air that allowed them to live.

"Good morning, Thor…I took the liberty of running a bath for us, I certainly hope you like it."

"And a good morning to you as well, Loki…I shall enjoy it much more when we settle in together."

"Then let us not keep the hot water and bath salts waiting, my love."

The blonde followed after his raven haired lover, both of them shedding their trousers and undergarments until both were bare of anything except their skin. As they sank down into the water, Thor let out a sigh of contentment as Loki settled in between his legs so that they could not only scrub each other clean but also share kisses that made the room even steamier from their passion and eagerness to mark each other with lips, tongues, and teeth. After their little makeout session turned into a couple rounds of early morning sex in the hot water, they both finally exited the now cooled down water and drained it along with the bath salts and semen to allow the tub to dry out.

Loki had just finished placing the last of his black leather shoulder pads onto his thin yet broad shoulders when a little ball of energy came crashing into the room and hugging him around his legs, the raven haired Prince looking down and finding Sìleas smiling widely up at him.

"Uncle Thor, Uncle Loki! Grandpa Odin said he wants to see you both, he says it's super important!"

The raven haired Prince smiled and patted the girl gently on her head, the man's thin fingers ruffling her dark brown locks as she giggled happily at the kind treatment.

"Alright, thank you for telling us Sìleas…where's your brother Artair?"

"He's with mommy and daddy, they sent me to get you and tell you that Grandpa Odin wants you both to come see him right away."

The blonde watched with a happy smile on his face as his lover picked the little girl up in his arms and held her as he smiled kindly at her, it made him realize that as much as he wished it Loki could never get pregnant and have children due to him being a male…but he wasn't going to let that setback keep him from loving the raven haired Prince with all his heart, even without a child they would still be together forever and be happy.

"Well then, let us not keep Father waiting Loki…Sìleas, would you please be so kind as to lead the way to Father's throne room, m'lady?" the blonde said amusedly as he too ruffled the little girl's locks gently, Sìleas smiling widely at her two favorite married men as Loki set her down and she motioned for them to follow her to the Throne Room.

After roughly 30 or so minutes, all three of them were standing outside of Odin's Throne Room. Thor pushed the doors open and allowed the little dark brunette girl to run in and join her parents, the two Warriors smiling at the two Princes as Odin also took note of their presence. Upon seeing the doors close, he cleared his throat and immediately silenced any conversation going on.

"I see that everyone is assembled, so now we can get to the main reason why I have called all of you here today. I have highly unsettling news, information that I fear will result in tensions mounting ever so quickly and without pause for rest…the head of our guard, Mordecai, has informed me that our prisoner Ryordian has escaped and killed the two guards keeping watch over his cell. He also stole an item of incredible power called the Tessaract, and has gone to Earth; we surmise it was after we imprisoned him on the grounds of inciting a false banishment sentence on Thor but he was biding his time so that we would not suspect his escape until it was too late to do anything to stop him."

The whole room grew quiet but it was the kind that followed an angry outburst, Thor clenching his fists to keep from lashing out as he managed to ask his father a question while barely keeping his fury in check.

"How long ago was this, Father?"

"We suspect that it was a few years ago, but since we know he has the power to shapeshift, it's possible that he was masquerading as one of the deceased guards and using his dead body to fool everyone into thinking that he was either asleep or quietly contemplating his future; yet again, we allowed him to deceive us."

Loki decided to speak up this time, his hand gently squeezing his blonde lover's arm in reassurance and as an effort to calm him down. It seemed to work, because not even two seconds later the raven haired Prince and Thor were holding hands tightly. Both of them were victims of Ryordian's petty jealousy scheme to drive them apart and sow discord just as everyone else was, the fact that he escaped was unforgivable…who knew what he'd do now that he'd escaped?

"Father…what shall we do about Ryordian and the Tessaract? Surely you'll send someone to go retrieve it?"

"Ah, perceptive as always Loki…yes, I've already decided on who I'll be sending to help retrieve the Tessaract before it's used to cause chaos and widespread destruction; I shall be sending you…" the Allfather said as he pointed to the raven haired Prince before he also pointed it at the blonde Thunder God.

"And Thor…the Bifrost has been repaired and is ready for your departure within the hour, so take any weapons and armor you feel are necessary but travel light; no need to draw undue hostility towards us when our intentions are purely peaceful. This meeting is adjourned, all of you are dismissed."

The room began emptying as Loki pulled his husband away from the tense atmosphere, the last thing he wanted was for the blonde to get pissed and go on a killing spree like when they'd been separated 5 years ago by that bastard the first time…this time, they were prepared to go up against him; Loki himself had a few things to settle with the one that'd all but ruined his life, and this trip to Earth was the perfect time to take care of that unfinished business as they finally made it to their shared bedroom.

"Thor, my love…calm down, it will do you no good to go to Earth as worked up as you are right now. I know how angry you are that this man has escaped, don't forget he hurt me and everyone else in his crazy jealousy bid to possess my hand in marriage; but in the end, all of us put a stop to him…so please, channel your anger to him once again as soon as we locate him and the Tessaract."

The blonde Thunder God knew his raven haired lover was right, but he couldn't believe that they'd been deceived again by his underhanded tricks…he was gonna destroy him when they found him, that is if no one else got to him first as he grabbed Mjolnir and his favorite steel blue armor. It'd been changed since the last time he wore it, the metal now in the shape of a bright silver Gaelic V shape that revealed the pure black under armor shirt he wore that was knitted from black flaxen Mythril; his armored sleeves had been removed, allowing his clearly defined muscles to be shown with metal bracer cuffs attached to his wrists and lower arms, the cuffs themselves only stopping roughly 6 to 8 inches above his wrists with leather underneath the metal to prevent discomfort. The blonde also wore black hunting pants and dark brown leather boots covered by lightweight dark silver-blue armor with intricate swirls just like the armor on his upper body.

Loki could only sigh in exasperation himself as he grabbed his staff, the solid gold lightweight and versatile as it also allowed him to channel his magic into the weapon and use it against his enemies. It had a curved blade affixed to the top of the staff, a bright blue crystal fitted into the oval shaped divot; it was a gift from his deceased mother Caitriona and was called a Jotunheim Moon Crystal*, it was the purest form of ice crystal ever mined from the icy world's deep mines. It massively amplified ice based magic as well as baser abilities like creating doppelgangers or even creating illusory copies of oneself to fool the enemy.

The raven haired prince took this chance to look himself over in the mirror, his short black locks having gotten longer to the point where they rested between his shoulderblades; he was currently wearing a black leather sleeveless trenchcoat and a long sleeved black flaxen Mythril under armor shirt much like the one Thor had on his body. The leather trenchcoat had lightweight gold armor soldered into the fabric and upon his lower sleeves sat gold armor bracers that went roughly 8 inches above his wrists, the leather trenchcoat stopping a little bit above his ankles. Forest green silk was inlaid on the inside of the open material, black leather and flaxen Mythril covered by gold armor adorned the inside of the trenchcoat and protected Loki from being impaled or stabbed by swords.

Loki's shapely legs were covered by black denim-leather pants and black leather hunting boots, the raven haired Prince's gold helmet sitting nearby. The helmet itself had long horns that curved upwards and made him appear to have the horns of either a ram or goat, the middle open to show his face as he studied himself in the mirror a little longer. Thor had come up behind his lover and wrapped his arms around his slim hips, the blonde placing kisses against Loki's exposed skin and earning a sharp intake of breath and a giggle from the other receiving the ministrations.

"T-Thor, is now really the t-time for this?"

"I should think so, after all I'm rather stressed out…why not help me relieve the tension by surrendering to our wicked desires?"

The raven haired Prince giggled once again, he supposed they could at least relieve some of the tension in the air with a pre-travel stress relief session as he allowed himself to be pulled backwards until Thor was lying on his back and Loki was laying on top of him, the two lovers smiling at each other before closing the gap between themselves and engaging in their most passionate kiss yet.

When the ever important oxygen needed to be inhaled, the two lovers were panting heavily as Thor moved his knee up so that it rested in between Loki's legs and massaged his clothed cock, the raven haired Prince arching up slightly and hissing in pleasure; the small sound started growing in volume as he felt his blonde lover keep massaging the clothed shaft until it was hard and aching for release, Loki's mouth falling open and allowing the most gorgeous moans to spill out into the room. Thor had decided to flip them over so that he was now resting his face at the top of his lover's pants, one hand popping open the button and sliding the zipper down along with his undergarments while the other was slowly stroking his sides and inner thigh softly to elicit more moans from the raven haired Prince above him.

After freeing the still hard cock from its' leather prison, Thor swallowed the whole shaft in one motion, a loud and long moan falling from Loki's mouth as he felt his lover's skilled tongue move up and down the hardened cock along with his head in a bobbing fashion; Loki had fisted his hands in the sheets as loud moans and hisses of pleasure came out from an open mouth and clenched teeth, the pressure building and building until he felt himself come undone in his lover's mouth. The blonde swallowed every last drop of his raven haired lover's seed, he would never get tired of making Loki writhe beneath him in pleasure and wilt in ecstasy when he had pleasured him thoroughly.

The raven haired Prince was panting heavily as he still felt himself coming down from his orgasmic high, the blonde carefully rezipping his pants and closing the button back up as he placed a kiss on his lover's forehead…he himself was completely caught off guard when Loki had turned him around so that he was lying on the bed, the raven haired Prince smirking deviously but not saying anything as he set to pulling his lover's pants and undergarments down until the other's cock, which was still fairly hard, had been freed from the pants that kept it confined. He kissed the engorged head and swirled the tip of his tongue around it before taking it all into his mouth inch by inch until Loki's nose touched his lover's blonde bed of curls.

Thor was unable to do anything else but start panting heavily as he gently fisted his hands into his raven haired lover's midnight black locks and urge him to speed up a little, the raven haired Prince receiving the message loud and clear as he began moving up and down on his lover's hard shaft, the most wonderful sounding moans being emitted by the blonde above him as Loki smirked and kept sucking until he heard his lover let out a loud scream; the next second, Loki could feel Thor's seed spilling into his mouth and he swallowed all of it until the blonde collapsed on the bed.

The raven haired Prince smiled as he also joined his spent lover on the king sized bed, Loki laying his head on Thor's chest as they basked in the afterglow of their shared pleasure. As the sounds of heavy panting faded into more even breathing, the raven haired Prince looked up at Thor as he smiled down at him when the two locked gazes before sharing a passionate and slow kiss.

"Feel better now, Thor?"

"Definitely…if we could only stay like this for a while longer, but we have a mission to carry out. Shall we go meet Heimdall at the Bifrost, my love?"

"Yes, but perhaps when we get back we can reconsummate our love?"

"Oh yes, I believe that's definitely in order…but for now, we must recover the Tessaract before Ryordian uses it to hurt people."

"If he hasn't already…now let us be off, Thor; don't want to be any later than we probably already are."

The two lovers linked their fingers together as they headed to the Bifrost, their hands becoming clasped together as they enjoyed each other's company immensely.

No matter what happened on this mission, they would see it through to the end together.

T.B.C.- Wow, just…wow. I made these boys do such naughty things in the first chapter, but it was so much fun to write out their idea of stress relief! And now, time for explanations:

1. Artair: (pronounced 'AR ter'), it's the Gaelic form of the name Arthur.

2. Jotunheim Moon Crystal: this is a very rare and special crystal found only on the nights of a new moon and in the very deepest parts of the Jotunheim Ice Mines, they're usually only handled by members of the Royal Family (i.e. Loki's family). It can amplify ice based magic and attacks, and if used in Asgard by a Frost Giant, it can easily increase the power of magic attacks that deal in deceiving the enemy; Loki's mother gave it to his father Laufey as an inheritance gift to be passed down to him when he was old enough, it was originally supposed to be a wedding gift…but after Ryordian's royal fuck up with the whole false banishment situation, Laufey figured it was best to give it to him when he saw him again, which was when he came back to visit him in the previous fic. Sorry if I never made mention of it until now, but I never thought of it before now.

Anyway, hope you guys like this first chapter and I really hope it's as good as the first fic…please let me know how it's coming along so far in a review or message; I also thought of some side pairings to do aside from FandralxJane and a possible VolstaggxDarcy, so here they are and let me know if I should put them in or not (basically yay or nay):

HawkeyexCaptain America

Iron ManxThe Hulk (TonyxBruce)

Black WidowxVolstagg (in case the DarcyxVolstagg pairing gets a 'no')

Black WidowxHawkeye

That's all I could come up with on the whole side pairings situation, so let me know which of these you'd want to see added for extra lovin' content in your review or message…until then, I shall bow out until the next chapter!
