Things are looking good, so far, and the avengers are doing what they do best.
Natasha is in Sweden doing something for Fury. Something about an Ikea employee.
Tony is spending time with Pepper, in London for a convention. Even though Tony would rather drink ale, shake hands and party with Prince Harry. Pepper was able to convince him to go. Since she threaten to call Fury, to tell him that he is still hacking into their system.
Clint is keeping guard at HQ (Classified Information). Nothing special there.
Banner is back in India, eating curry with the locals who are happy to have him around. Healing the sick in their city. If only someone told him about the curry he's about to eat will not only, kill every taste bud in his mouth, but his ass as well. For a week, if not two.
Thor is back in Asgard, bringing Loki along with him. Stripped of his magic and sentence to prison, for how long no one knows. Thor visits him once or twice a week. Loki ignores him. While Thor talks about his day, Loki stares blankly at either the ceiling or the wall. Thor still sees the mischief little boy that he used to play in the garden while their parents looked from a distance. Who showed him magic tricks and illusions. Sadly those where the days that has passed. Now sitting in that cell is a man he does not recognized. May not be bonded by blood but still brothers by heart.
Loki...
Not much to say about him. Except, that being stripped from his magic made him vulnerable almost human. Deep down he still sees...
Steve just landed in England. The town was lively, and full of life. Looking on the GPS to find the location of the place. She had to be there, if memory serves him right, she said her father left her a cottage in this little town. He held a banquet of her favorite flowers and an envelope. Taking a left on the next street. It wasn't hard to find the cottage, it was at the edge of town. Pushing the fence, he walked up to the door. He stood there.
So much time has passed.
He can easily give her a heart attack.
Raising his fist. He hesitates. His mind is yelling at him to knock on the door, while his heart told him to leave the flowers at the door. According to the file she got married, had kids, and is now a grandmother. Her husband was an old friend of his too. They served together, drank, and played cards. He was a good man. He was happy knowing that his friend keep his promise, when he asked him to look after her.
His heart is breaking. He could feel the tears threatening to fall. He should have never the flowers on the matt along with the letter, he knocked on the door and bolted. He didn't look back to see if she got them.
His vision began to blur.
Agent Maria Hill still works for Fury, and argues with him constantly. Some can say she is his conscience, or mother.
Fury is still Director of Shield. That is all.
Asgard
Walking up the steps that leads to his home. Its been years since he's been back. 3 years actually.
Smelling the familiar scent of home, he goes to the side of the house to the secret entrance that leads directly to the kitchen. He and his brothers would always sneak in to the kitchen to have first dibs on dessert. He smiles at the memory... then frowns. Memories. The days of innocence and laughs. Now he's not so sure. Things changed when he left. He shouldn't have left. If he had stayed his brother wouldn't-
SMACK!
A strong force slam against his back!
"BROTHER WELCOME BACK I KNEW YOU'LL BE HERE, SEE MOTHER I TOLD YOU HE WOULD SNEAK IN HERE JUST LIKE OLD TIMES!"
He inhaled a lung full of air trying to regain his balance, after having the wind knocked out of him. Frigga shook her head laughing, placing the plate of sweets she knows he loves. He smiled at his mother and struggled to walk over to her to give her a hug. She gently hugged him being careful not to squeeze too tight. He looked around the kitchen. Nothing has changed much. He looked at Thor who was stuffing his face full of food. Thor is still the same as he remembered. He may have matured a bit but not by much. He shook his head. He turned his head to look at his mother who was frowning at Thor, she hasn't changed much except her eye theirs sadness in them. He feels sadness flowing through him. He picks up a slice of cake.
Thor was having another Tart when his face gets covered in cake.
Wiping the cake with his hand, he looks up to see his brother looking the other way. Thor knew he threw it. Frigga got caught off guard. Before she can say anything Thor grabbed the plate full of tarts and threw it at his brother. He dodged it and threw another slice of cake at him. Frigga who was going into mother-mood, opened her mouth to stop them. Sadly it didn't work. Thor and his brother didn't hear their mother's threats, as pastries were thrown. Some frosting landed on his hair, and Thor tackled him to the cabinets and rubbed cake in his hair. Both laughing hysterically trying beat each other with cake.
Frigga chest puffed. "If you both don't stop this non-sence now or your father will-"
"What is the meaning of this!" growled Odin, as he walked deeper into the kitchen to see his sons acting like children. Both he and Thor stopped. Eyes wide. "Apologies father, I was just saying 'hello' to brother, and showing him just how much I missed him," he replied. Thor snickered, Odin was not impressed, Frigga shook her head and held back a smile. Glancing at one son to the other. His sons will never change, no matter how many centuries have passed.
"Both of you will not rest till this gets cleaned!" ordered Odin. Thor and his brother moaned. Frigga stood by Odin and placed a hand on his arm.
They began to descend out of the kitchen when Odin turned back "and no magic!" he roared. Looking directly at him, he dropped his head and moaned. As much as he enjoyed looking at the Midgardians way of life, there life is far worse than that of Asgard. Odin and Frigga left leaving Thor and his brother to clean.
Later that morning, Frigga went into the kitchen to see her sons handy work at cleaning. She enters the Kitchen to see not only the kitchen spotless but both of her sons asleep on the floor. Frigga smiles and kisses her sons on the head.
Thor and his brother walked to the garden, and spots Sif and the Warriors Three. When they spot him they approached with wide smiles and questions. Gathering around him he started to tell them all the things he learned and what he can do that he can't do before. Sif rolled her eyes as he summoned food. Volstagg began eating it and demanding he summon ale!
As day turns dark Loki sits in his cell waiting for his brother to come.
Then footsteps approach, and stop in front of his cell. He looks up and sees a familiar face that reflects his own. Both men looked at each other. What does one say to his other half. Loki looks away. There is no need for words, even with out his magic they are bonded not by heart but by blood. They feel each others emotions, see what the other sees, feel what the other feels. They do have the same features after all...
Just different personalities and views.
Yet still the same non-the-less.
Thor woke up grinning like mad. Today is the day he returns to Midgard, to see his lovely Jane. He took a deep breath and exhale. Double checking making sure he has Jane's gift, he goes to see his brother.
Just as he was finishing unpacking, Thor walks in. "Brother I know you just can back after being absent from home for three years but may I ask you something?" asked Thor. His brother looked at him, "sure" he replied. Thor clears his throat.
"I was hoping you can go with me to Midgard to see this woman I've been seeing" said Thor. His brother looked at him with wide eyes.
Midgard!?
"Are you sure about that?" he asked.
Thor nodded.
He frowned.
Thor looked confused.
"I do look like him!"
Thor's mouth made an 'O'.
"Well we could tell them the truth when we get there." He said in understanding.
He nodded.
Wait... Them!?
"Them?!"
Thor Laughed "well yes 'them' I made a few friends there."
He knew that but he didn't expect to see the Avengers as well.
Thor notice his discomfort, then approached him and put his hand on his shoulder. "They will not hurt you, they will ask questions, but they are good people." His brother nodded. "Fine I'll go to meet this woman and your friends" he said. Thor smiled and gave his brother a hug. "Be ready in 10 minutes" and with that he was out the door.
He signed.
Grabbing a small bag filling it with scrolls and books he wishes to finish reading.
Midgard/Earth
Tony was getting everything ready to have the gang over.
Even ordering extra food and drinks for the demigod.
As well as a dart board for Robin Hood.
And a heater for Frosty.
And a male black widow for Red.
And bath salts for the Green Giant.
Everything was set, all he needs to do now is wait.
Ding
The door opened and here comes Natasha with Steve. "Finally I would've started the party with out you!" cried Tony. Steve snorted while Natasha rolled her eyes. As soon as Tony gave Steve his beer the door opens. In comes Banner with the package of the "curry." Natasha walks over to give Banner a hug "long time." She said, Banner padded her back. Steve shook his hand. Tony offered him a drink, Banner turned it down giving Tony the "curry."
"Oh you shouldn't have!" smiled Tony taking the "curry" in the fridge.
Clint soon came in and greeted everyone. Now all they need is the girls... And Thor. Tony putting on some AC/DC and started talking about whether to get the new computer tv or just a regular tv that has 3D and comes with surround sound.
Before anyone can reply, thunder erupt. "Ha, hear he comes!" Tony said gleefully
Thor landed on the platform Tony use to dismantle his armor. They notice another figure behind him. "And he brought a friend!" Tony said cheerfully.
Thor entered the room, "friends so glade to see all of you hope you don't mind if I bring someone to join us!" Thor smiled cheerfully. Tony took a sip of his drink and nodded "sure why not maybe he can help me figure out which tv i should get!" Said Tony. Thor smiled broadly, stepping to the side there stood someone who no expected to see again.
No sorry not again but they don't know about the other, the man with the same face as the other in the cell.
Before he can introduce himself, Clint jumped from his seat and nearly speared him. Clint went through him. "I told you that was gonna happen!" Thor looked up to see his brother sitting crossed-legged on the ceiling. "What the Thor!" outburst Clint, who regained his footing. "you said he was locked up!" Thor replied "he is! This is..."
Silence and an awkward moment.
