Chapter 1
A/N
New series, got rid of the old one. I also have a beta :)
I pray that y'all didn't get the stomach bug that I did, because it sucked.

Stark Tower: 12:10am

The tower was silent, minus the soft hum of Tony's phone charging in the wall. JARVIS would know to disconnect it as soon as it was at 100%. All the avengers were sleeping except for Tony. Tony was almost never asleep at night, he took long naps during the day as needed, and then stayed up all night working in his lab, he felt like his best work was done at night.

The peace was interrupted by a loud crash on the roof that sent JARVIS into an automatic defense protocol in which he set up a complex system of weapons that Tony could manually control from wherever he was at.

Captain America was the first into the living room, his shield attached to his arm. "Tony! What the hell is going on?"

"I don't know," the genius said as he came running up from the lab, "but he knocked out my security cameras and my defense system." As he stepped outside, JARVIS began piecing his suit to his body, and within a matter of seconds, Ironman flew up to the roof.

Tony saw a dark mass moving around, at the least 6'3. He didn't hesitate to knock the figure down and began holding him down, his suit taking multiple blows from the intruder.

"Tony! It is I!" A familiar voice yelled, coming from the man he had pinned to the ground.

"Thor?" The billionaire asked. "What the hell are you doing?"

Thor shoved Tony off of him. Standing to his feet, he wiped his cheek and sniffed. It was then that Tony realized that the god was crying.

"Whoa, Thor what is going on man?" Tony's mask lifted up. The philanthropist had never seen Thor cry before, and to him, it was scary.

"I cannot speak about it." He said, his voice thick.

"Is it Jane?" Tony asked.

The god shook his head.

Captain America and the rest finally made it up to the roof, part of the defense protocol was that JARVIS was forced to shut down all the elevators in the tower.

"Relax guys, it's just Thor." Tony announced.

The relief was profound on the avengers faces as they lowers their weapons.

"Did you have to make such a racket?" Bruce asked.

"Dude, Thor, what's wrong?" Hawkeye questioned, as he was the first of the others to notice the tears.

"I gave my word that I wouldn't speak about it." Thor replied.

It was quiet amongst the group until Tony said. "Well, I'm getting cold, how about we go inside, are you hungry Thor?"

"It's 12:30 Tony," Captain America pointed out.

"And?" Tony glanced over at the soldier. "Anytime can be food time."

Natasha rolled her eyes, "Yeah well I'm going to bed."

"No, we're going to eat breakfast with Thor." The billionaire argued, silently telling Natasha that he was determined to find out what was wrong with the sorrowful god.

"отлично." (fine) Natasha mumbled.


An awkward silence hung in the air as Tony made his "world famous" breakfast tacos.

"Do you like hot sauce?" Tony asked.

Thor nodded, half smiling. Probably remembering the "wings from hell" challenge he won at a wing restaurant downtown.

The avengers are silently as Thor poured half the bottle of Tabasco sauce on his breakfast taco.

"So, that earthquake in San Francisco huh?" Tony started, trying to start conversation.

"Yeah, that was pretty wild." Hawkeye agreed smirking. "Did you see the Trans America building swaying side to side like that?"

"Yeah that was scary." Captain America nodded. "I was glad it was just and earthquake and nothing we needed to be called in for."

"I'm just glad she's alright." Tony mumbled.

"Who?" Natasha asked.

"Someone you've met, just don't remember." Tony sat down with his breakfast taco.

Natasha dismissed it as some strange thought Tony had conjured up in that cluttered mind of his and kept eating.

"So Thor, how's Asgard? Have you guys fixed up everything yet? I heard the dark elves made a HUGE mess. I also heard about how your awful piloting skills contributed to that too." Tony began.

Steve elbowed him, earning a grunt and a whiny "ow" from the billionaire'a mouth.

"We're working very hard to restore Asgard to it's former glory, although we've recently come across a couple of...problems." Thor stated.

"What kind of problems?" Bruce asked, genuinely curious to what could possibly halt Asgard's restoration.

"Some family issues." He continued. "I can say no more."

"Why not?" Steve asked. "We won't tell anyone, right Tony?"

"Of course not," Tony agreed, ignoring the emphasis Cap made on his name. "You can always come to us, we're your family too, Thor."

The God smiled at the word family. For his had been corrupt for many years and now with his mother gone, he felt like he couldn't go to anyone. Especially not his father with the situation, there was no way to tell what he would do. He couldn't tell Sif, or Fandral, or Hogun, or Volstagg either. He felt completely alone, especially after the fight that erupted into a 3 day breakup between he and Jane.

"Thor," Natasha called softly. The god then realized that he had been staring off into space.

"If I tell you," Thor began, "than you must give me your word that you won't tell a single soul in the nine realms."

All the Avengers nodded respectfully.

"Alright then," he started. "First, Loki is alive."

A wave of confusion washed over the table.

"I thought he died on Svartalfheim." Hawkeye stated, feeling the dread as he heard "Loki" and "alive" used in the same sentence.

"As did I until he came to me one night." Thor said, "but that's not the worst of it."

"Then what is?" Hawkeye asked, not quite sure if he really wanted to hear the rest of it.

The team watched as Thor did his best to keep in the tears until eventually he couldn't anymore and they spilled down his cheeks.

"He is pregnant."
