Underneath the Moonlight

by Camyza

Loki and Jane have been meeting each other at night near the sea after Jane has become addicted to his searing hot touch and kisses, finding herself falling for him. However, this night will be different when Thor arrives and Jane realizes what must be done. Set when Loki has the Tesseract.

2. Part 2

Here it is, as promised! Took a long time too! Better get comfy though since it's very long, all 51 pages of Lokane goodness. I just love to write~!

This part was beta read by my great friend, SilverChaos, since I just couldn't wait for wordonawing's response and wanted this uploaded XD (Hope you still enjoy it wing! ^^)

Edited on June 22, '12: Fixed some small mistakes that Silver and I didn't catch the first time and one huge mistake further down since I forgot to edit out an area. Sorry about that |D Also fixed the transitions since the others were too bold and...well, these actually work because this site's formatting sucks a lot.

Underneath the Moonlight

Part 2

---

"This circle is definitely alike to when Thor's friends arrived, sir," said one of the agents of Coulson. "However, the designs in this one are something far more complicated than the other."

"I will alert Fury, the rest of you look for the God. If you do find him, use anything to capture him."

"Yes sir." As one of them barked orders to the highly trained men, Coulson fished out his phone and speed dialed Fury.

"Let me guess," drawled Fury. "You found a magic circle."

"This one is...unbelievable. We'll be sending a picture of it to you soon. He's definitely here Fury but the odd thing is that he hasn't shown himself. I've sent men to go find him-"

"Call them back," ordered Fury. "He can take over their minds and put them up against you. I'll send someone better."

Fury ended the call before Coulson could make a single reply or protest. Sighing, Coulson flipped his phone shut. They couldn't just stand around and do something but the idea of his own team being turned against him...

He had a better chance against a lion than a dozen men with guns.

Loki had sensed them come back and was on guard in case they decided to interrupt Jane's sleep. He stared out the window with a blank look on his face as he felt his shoulder become numb from Jane sleeping on it.

Knowing what he had to do, he pulled away from her gently and got out of bed.

With one last look at the mortal woman he loved, he disappeared right when the SHIELD agents banged on the door.

Fury was still thinking who to send over and over in his mind that would even stand a chance to Loki. He didn't like it either but they had a town and the whole world to protect from a crazed God. Fury stared at Dr. Banner. "As much as this hurts me to say, we need you to go to New Mexico."

"I have a feeling it's not for vacation," replied Bruce.

"Oh come on, it'll be fun," piped up a jolly voice belonging to Tony. "Tell you what, I can go help you providing a distraction while you...turn into a huge green man and smash him up." Tony shoved some more candy in his mouth.

"He's in a town," argued Steve. "There are innocents there. As much as I want this God to vanish, killing innocents isn't the way to go. We need to think of a plan to draw him somewhere else and then attack."

"Maybe Thor could help us," suggested Clint.

"We haven't heard word of him since last week," Fury revealed in a deadpan tone.

"That's weird," said Natasha while furrowing her brow.

"There's no way I'm going," replied Bruce. "I don't want to be responsible for the damage I will make."

"All right then, I'll go," offered Tony.

Steve shook his head. "And what if he damages your suit? Then what will you do?"

"Who said I'm going to be only in my suit?" Tony winked at Steve before walking out of the room.

...ooo...

"We've found a circle and we need to get you out of here," said Phil.

Jane just wanted to head back to bed since she was still tired but she had to remember that she had to show that she hadn't seen him. Or be in love with him.

Rubbing her forehead, she took in a big breath before letting it out. "Okay, but I can't drive. I'm way too tired. What about Darcy?"

"She's already been taken care of. We need you to get out of here fast. We have a truck ready to take you to one of our safe facilities."

Right, she was a scientist and they still thought the Cube was here in this realm. Oh, how she wished she could tell them, but that would require explanation. A lot of explanation.

"And what if these...facilities aren't exactly safe? He could follow the vehicle I'm in, and then what?"

Coulson paused for a bit.

Jane yawned as she waited. She really needed to get some more rest.

"If that happens, we'll be ready to make sure you are safe."

"Sir, we have a fast approaching aircraft heading this way!"

"What?" Coulson started to walk to the technical trunk. "Is it one of ours?"

"No. It's coming in fast and there's a call sign: TSRK 049."

Coulson's phone rang and he answered it as he continued to watch the radar readings, "Yeah?"

"Sir, they're communicating. It's Iron Man," said the agent as he looked up at Coulson.

"What is he up to, Fury?"

"Sending Bruce as the Hulk would be dangerous and as much as we need to catch Loki, we had to send someone else," said Fury in a dry tone. "I will be sending the others though since Mr. Stark was quite in a hurry to test out his new...toy."

"Right," said Coulson as he hung up, stepping down from the truck and headed towards Jane who was sleeping while standing up. He nudged her awake, causing her to flinch and make a small "huh?" at him. "We need to start getting you out of here."

"What about my equipment?"

"They'll be moving with you too. They should be in the truck all ready. Come on, there's no telling what will happen here."

Loki suddenly appeared in front of them with a smug look across his face, shocking Coulson and others around them while Jane tried to keep her eyes open.

"Just hand her over to me and I'll be on my way," he said softly.

"Hold your fire," ordered Coulson to the agents that aimed their guns at Loki. "Where is the Cube," asked Coulson as he pulled out a gun from his pocket, just as Tony's aircraft flew past them overhead.

Loki shot up his eyebrows, "Back in Asgard."

"He could be lying," said Jane as she thought quickly, causing Loki to smirk. He was amused of how well she could act.

"Give us the Cube," said Coulson, threatening Loki with the gun.

Loki chuckled, "Bullets do not harm me. But, since you insist on being difficult, so shall I." With a wave, he froze the gun and knocked it clean out of Coulson's hand before appearing right behind Jane and Coulson. He grabbed both of their shoulders, shoving Coulson away and snapped his fingers to create blue flames as a diversion.

Jane's eyes widened and burned from the bright flames before her vision distorted as they teleported away.

Coulson cursed as he kicked at the dirt as the SHIELD members around him moved about to get to the cars and trucks to try and find Loki.

Tony floated down near Coulson in suit with his arms crossed. "I was hoping to try out my new aircraft."

"Just...just try and find Loki, please," said Coulson as he wiped a hand over his face.

...ooo...

Jane couldn't believe what she was seeing. Asgard! She felt her exhaustion completely gone. She was glad too since, wow, the place was greater than she imagined!

"This...is incredible!"

After Loki teleported them out of town, he called Heimdall to pull them back into the bridge. As they walked out of the BiFrost, Jane's slumping had vanished from needing rest.

"Wow," she said as she brought up her hands to cover her mouth in amazement. She couldn't stop looking everywhere as Loki looked on in amusement beside her. "I could have never imagined anything like this."

"There's more," said Loki as he started walking on the bridge, causing it to light up where he stepped.

Jane watched the flickering light respond to his steps and couldn't help but try it out herself. She looked down as she followed Loki, having the excitement like a child who wanted to splash into puddles.

Seeing Loki's back, she noticed his armor and cape were back in place with no helmet. He walked with such grace, she noted as she tilted her head. As she was distracted by his interesting figure, Jane didn't notice that they had passed by the enormous golden gate until it shut closed behind her.

Loki waited as she looked at it, watching her as she did so. Jane was still looking at it as she started to walk again and bumped into Loki. She turned to look at him with a apologetic smile before looking back at the tall and grand gate.

"It's so amazing..."

Loki chuckled as he pressed a hand against her waist to get her to move again as he started to walk towards the castle.

As they walked up the steps, the two guards positioned at the door gave a nod at them. "Welcome back, Loki Odinson and guest," the guards welcomed in unison as the enormous door opened.

Jane stared in shock as she looked in from outside. Loki was a few steps ahead of her before noticing she wasn't coming. Turning towards her, he smiled at her reaction before beckoning her over with his hand.

"Can...I really go in there," asked Jane without moving.

"You won't fall," teased Loki with a smirk.

"I think I just might," muttered Jane as she walked slowly to enter the grand throne room.

The moon was high in the Asgard sky, shining rays of light through the huge windows high upon the walls. It gave off a very enchanted feel to the large room.

"This is really hard to take in. I would have never imagined – Erik and Darcy would just love to see this. This is just so..." Jane really couldn't believe her eyes, it was such a fantastic sight to see. Especially since all her life she was studying the wormholes that appeared and wrote her theory on other realms. To see it with her very own eyes, knowing she was right, made her so ecstatic.

Loki watched her. He had never seen this side of her but seeing it now... Jane had a huge smile on her face, her eyes glistening with excitement and awe.

When they got near the stairs that led up the throne, Loki halted. Jane watched him take in a breath after a small pause.

"I came back right here with the Cube with Thor by my side. The King, Odin, my...father... I didn't expect what he said that day. Giving me another chance despite the punishment I deserved."

Jane smiled at him as she put a hand on his arm, giving a little squeeze. "I told you they loved you, didn't I?"

Loki grasped her arm and pulled her gently to him. "You did," he said as his hand ran through her hair gently. "You are a very intelligent mortal, Jane."

Jane lifted an eyebrow, "Where are you getting at?"

Loki chuckled with a smirk, pulling her hair a little bit. "Being naive doesn't suit you, dear Jane," he whispered darkly, his gaze flickered with mischief.

Laughing softly, Jane moved her hips against his as her hands moved over his armor. It was his entire set with golden plates upon his chest.

Two guards entered the throne room, interrupting them but they paid no mind to Jane. "There you are, Prince Loki," one of them said.

"The AllFather wishes to speak with you in the sitting room," finished the other.

Jane was puzzled but Loki nodded.

"Very well," replied Loki. "Come, Jane."

"What?" Jane wasn't sure about going with him.

"It's fine for you to come," Loki spoke softly as he started to pull her with him gently.

"Your brother, Thor, has also been sent for," said the guard that spoke first before.

Jane's eyes widened and halted sharply, causing Loki to look at her curiously. "I...," she took in a shuddering breath. It was awful that she went to Loki after breaking the relationship with Thor. She did love Loki though, but...the idea of Thor being hurt... It was making her afraid to see Thor at all.

Loki nodded for the guards to leave with a hard stare. The guards hesitated at first before leaving them.

"There's nothing to be afraid of, Jane," he whispered as he gripped her hand tight.

"How would you feel if...if I-"

"Do not be afraid, Jane."

"But I am!" Her voice nearly echoed the entire room. "I'm afraid, Loki. I'm afraid of what...Thor's reaction will be."

"He won't harm you. He would be a fool to do so."

"Loki, think about it." Jane now gazed into his eyes. "How would you feel if we separated from each other and I went to your brother and..."

"Very angry," said Loki with a slight hiss from the image. "But I would never harm you even if I wanted to. My brother, however... Well, let's just say I would want to have a little...chat with him."

"You don't think he would attack you?"

Loki smirked, "He may. He may not. Either way, you need not to worry about it."

Jane couldn't believe what he was saying! Not worry about it? "I love you, Loki, and whether you like it or not, I will worry about you."

Loki stared at her, wondering just how he managed to have this mortal woman's love. After all that he done, she pushed and convinced him to bring back the Cube to Asgard. Odin...his father, finally accepted him as well and welcomed him back.

Now, here she was worrying about what Thor would do when he found out about Jane's and Loki's relationship.

"I really do not deserve you," whispered Loki.

Jane gave him a small smile and shook her head slowly. "That's nonsense, Loki."

"Maybe so." Loki brought up a hand to wipe the tear tracks from her face and pushed back her hair. Jane couldn't help her smile widen at the memory when he last did this to her. But, instead of leaving her, he was leading her.

"Let's go." Her voice wavered just a tad since she was still nervous.

Loki guided her out of the throne room, walking at a slow pace at first until he sped up since he knew how impatient his family could be.

Jane followed after him, not even bothering to look around like she usually would. Seeing Loki walking quickly ahead of her was making her scared for him and herself. She knew she was probably overreacting but she really didn't want to hurt Thor. Yes, she still cared for him and it wasn't-

"Jane," called a voice in front of her.

Jane blinked, her entire thoughts vanishing as if she were in a trance. "Uh..." Loki was waiting for her. "Right, I'm...my mind is just..."

"If you really do not want to go, I can-"

"No, it's fine," quickly said Jane. "I can do this." Jane started to calm herself down taking in slow and deep breaths. However, she didn't see Loki's mischievous expression nor hearing him coming up behind her. Before she knew it, he turned her around and kissed her. Her mind went foggy as she started to pant against his lips as if he was enchanting her with a relaxation spell.

Loki pulled away with a sly grin as Jane tried to regain her breath.

"That...helped," she said in between pants. "You really are mischievous."

"Was there ever any doubt?" Loki teased her with a wider sly grin.

"Hardly." Jane followed Loki again while her mind was off in the clouds. Goodness, could he ever kiss. Now she wanted more of his kisses right now. Staring at his back, she was wondering if she could pull him against the wall or maybe-

"Here we are." Loki slowed down and Jane walked right into him. Grinning in amusement, he felt her hold onto his cape to steady herself. He couldn't hold in the small laughter coming from him but made sure it didn't grow loud enough for the occupants in the room to hear him. "If I had known that kiss would affect you like this, I would've done that ages ago."

"Yes, you should've," replied Jane as she let go of his cape and grabbed his face. "Now, give me more." She pulled Loki's head to hers to kiss him and Loki couldn't help but oblige her for a little while before breaking the kiss.

"Better?"

Jane nodded, too light in the head to say anything.

Loki opened the door with his magic and walked in without hesitation.

Jane swallowed a little before following after him, completely ready – or so she thought – to see Thor's reaction.

"Ah, my son, you are back," said Odin as he saw Loki walk in. He didn't see Jane yet since Loki was blocking her with his height.

"Loki, darling," greeted Frigga with a nod before setting her eyes on Jane. Blinking, she stood up right as Thor walked to Loki.

"Brother, you've finally arrived," said Thor as he put a hand on Loki's shoulder to give a little shake.

"Loki, who is that woman," asked Odin, finally seeing Jane.

Thor was puzzled and looked behind Loki and saw her. "Jane?"

"I...don't mean to intrude but Loki insisted," said Jane as all eyes were on her. Great. "To be honest, I never thought I would meet the King and Queen of Asgard." As much as she was nervous of Thor's reaction, she was a scientist and couldn't believe she was looking at two powerful beings with her very eyes. It was outrageous but, here she was.

Thor looked at Loki, "Did you bring her here to Asgard, brother?"

"How else would she come here," quipped Loki with a small grin. Loki couldn't help it, it was too funny when Thor asked the obvious.

"Why?" Thor was shocked yet suspicious of his brother. One couldn't blame him.

Jane and Loki answered at the same time with two different statements:

"Because I wanted to."

"I asked him to."

Thor looked between his brother and Jane. Frigga shook her head slowly while Odin rubbed a hand over his temple.

"Thor, I really wish I could say this without hurting you or making you angry," started Jane. "After we separated and a month went by – well, things...happened."

Thor whipped his head to look at Loki, "Did you capture her?" Once again, Thor missed the point.

"Thor-" Jane was interrupted.

"I did," admitted Loki. "Before you spout words with anger, all I did was force her to come with me. She isn't a fool."

"Thor, I was fine even though I wanted to escape from him and maybe give him a piece of my mind." There was no way she said she wanted to slap him or kick him, just once, because the King and Queen were standing right there!

"You did the latter," reminded Loki.

"Loki, just what are you up to?" Thor was angry and very suspicious of his brother now.

"Oh, just the usual fun. Nothing harmless," winked Loki.

"Brother." Thor's tone was very tense.

Loki's expression became serious. "Nothing. Why do you persist that I am up to anything?"

"Why else would the woman I love be here? You said so yourself that you would pay her a visit!"

"Thor," threatened Frigga for him to lower his voice.

"Have you ever stopped and thought for a moment why I took so long to come here?" Loki's voice was colder now as he talked strictly to Thor. "Or perhaps why I wanted you to leave that one night on the beach?"

Thor's eyes widened. "What are you saying, brother?"

"Feathers really do suit you, Thor. Is your mind full of feathers?"

"Enough!" Thor shouted finally in frustration. "What is your plan, brother."

"I plan to marry her, what else?"

Thor was completely shocked and couldn't form words for a while. "Stop playing jokes on me, brother. Tell me the-"

"It's true Thor," Jane said softly. "It's what we've been trying to say."

Thor looked at her sadly with his mouth slightly open. "What...no. No that cannot be." He started to shake his head as if it were a bad dream. "That...Jane..."

Jane just nodded at him, her own expression sad and feeling horrible for hurting him. "I didn't want to come earlier since I know you would...oh please, Thor. I wish I didn't have to do this but you needed to know. I...I love Loki very much but I do want to be your friend."

Thor took in a breath as he stared at the floor.

"She was the one that made me realize what I was doing was wrong," explained Loki. "She refused to take the Cube from me when I told her to that night since I hid it away in a cave. Jane is...an incredible mortal woman."

"I hope you can understand, Thor," piped up Jane. "I really did not expect to fall in love with Loki, your brother. But, I did. It happened so fast and..."

She trailed off into silence and the whole room was tense and awkward.

"Brother," started Loki.

Thor grabbed Loki by the shoulder once more and gave him a tight squeeze as he looked into Loki's eyes. "I am happy for you, brother."

Jane let out a breath that she was holding.

Loki though was shocked at Thor's confession. "You...what..."

Thor smiled sadly at Loki before clapping a hand against Loki's shoulder. It wasn't gentle at all. "Congratulations." Thor looked at Jane as he added, "To you both."

Loki however, wasn't buying it. "Thor."

"No, I am really happy for you. And Jane."

"Stop forcing yourself," said Loki as he pulled Thor away to the side of the large room.

"Loki, I am happy for the two of you."

Loki shook his head, "No, I do not believe that. Stop lying to me brother and let it out."

"I cannot," admitted Thor. "Not here."

Loki understood and looked over at Jane and his parents. Odin and Frigga understood what he was going to do, but Jane was curious on what was going on. More so when Loki and Thor vanished.

Frigga spoke up before Jane could, "Don't worry. Loki has taken Thor outside."

"Are they going to fight?"

"Thor needs an outlet to let out his anger."

"I knew it," said Jane in horror. "I didn't want that to happen."

Frigga put a comforting hand on Jane's back, "It's better for him to know now. I know you worry for the two of them. They will not kill each other."

...ooo...

"You took her away," shouted Thor. "Why...why! Brother why?"

As much as Loki wanted to tease Thor, he'd rather not be severely injured in result. "I didn't choose to, Thor. It happened."

"You took her away!"

"How many times do I have to tell you, brother?"

"You said so yourself that you would pay her a visit!"

"I did that to only get you to fight me at that time. I did not know she was a scientist. I was driven by anger and jealousy – just like you are now."

Lightning flashed above while thunder roared loudly like a dragon. Yet there was no rainfall.

"I wasn't like you, brother. I didn't-"

A line a magic hit Thor right in the stomach, causing the God of Thunder to fall back several feet.

"Do not bring up what I did!" Loki shouted over the thunder. "I know what I did was wrong and yet, I still came back with the Cube!"

Thor pulled himself off the ground. If he had Mjolnir, he would've done a counter attack. "You do not know what it's like to know the one you loved loves another now!"

"You're right, I do not, but I can imagine it. Jane brought that up earlier and I didn't like it."

Lightning crackled a few times in the sky, giving a show, while the thunder boomed loudly. Thor was gripping his fists tight as he panted in fury, watching Loki as the pain tore into him.

"I...love her, Thor," said Loki. "I didn't expect myself to love her. I denied it so many times. That night when you appeared, she confessed. I was...shocked. Afraid." Loki paused, waiting for Thor respond but got nothing. "She saw right through me, brother. You know how intelligent she is."

Thor closed his eyes in silence as his breathing started to ease down.

"Brother." Loki's voice was soft and beckoned Thor.

"I know." Thor opened his eyes and looked at Loki. His brother that was back and had given up the poisonous dream of power. All because of Jane. Thor walked up to Loki. "I know," he repeated softly as he passed Loki on the way back inside the castle.

Loki followed him all the way back to the sitting room.

Jane was the first to react. "Are you two alright? I was so worried."

"I trust you two didn't harm each other," said Frigga before looking at Loki. "Nor did you need to heal yourself and your brother, Loki?"

"No need," replied Loki.

"Good," smiled Frigga as Thor walked up to Jane.

Jane gazed up at him, waiting for him to speak as she sneaked a glance at Loki.

"I know I have no say about what you do in your life, Jane. I'm not selfish, not anymore because you also changed me. My brother has proven he does love you. I was too caught up in the moment to think correctly that Loki wasn't up to anything because if he does, he has a way of showing it."

"Brother," warned Loki playfully.

Thor cracked a smile as he looked over at Loki. "You do. You can't help but smile and laugh when you do."

Loki's shoulders shook lightly from chuckling, causing everyone else in the room to chuckle as well. Frigga looped an arm over Odin's as she laughed softly and felt her husband shaking against her side. The King and Queen exchanged a glance, both remembering the times Loki played pranks on everyone, even them.

"Now then," started Odin as he continued to chuckle, coughing a little as he tried to stop. He failed for a while before stopping the laughter. "Your mother and I have come to an agreement of who should be King."

"About that, father," said Loki as he stepped beside Thor. "I wish to give up the throne to Thor."

Thor blinked, in shock once more and Jane was too. Frigga and Odin exchanged another glance, smiling as they did so.

"My dear boys, you'll both rule," said Frigga. "You two have proven yourselves worthy of being King that we cannot simply decide."

"It will be the first time in Asgard history to have two Kings," spoke Odin. "And why not? You two have your strengths and will balance each others weaknesses."

Loki and Thor shared an exact expression of shock as the words were digested. Jane, however, was getting quite nervous. She would be...Queen in this case! She hadn't expected Loki to give up the throne for her, but this...this was...

Thor was the first to come out of shock and looked at his brother, "What say you, brother?" Loki turned to look at him as Thor continued. "Wish to rule Asgard with me? Ride into battle with me? Offer your abilities with me and keep this realm protected?"

Loki smiled, "Of course, brother."

...ooo...

Jane tried to calm herself as she waited for Loki to come to the BiFrost. Heimdall watched her, noticing her nervous actions as well as hearing her thoughts.

"You are worried about ruling. Do not be," said Heimdall out of no where and gave Jane a fright.

"Right... You can...hear my thoughts," said Jane awkwardly. "I can't help it. The thought of ruling a place with immortals. That's...well, that's pretty disheartening."

"You are worried that you will die and leave Loki all alone."

Jane took in a shaky breath as she rubbed her head.

Heimdall tilted his head but said nothing. Jane looked around and saw Loki coming on horseback or that's what it seemed since she didn't really see him on the horse when it got closer.

"Right. Shapeshifter," she reminded herself.

Loki transformed himself back to normal as he got closer in mid-run. "My father wishes to give you a gift."

"A gift?" Jane was curious now.

"Immortality," said Loki.

"What? Immor-Immortality?"

"You drink from a goblet," said Heimdall. "It's very ancient magic. You've probably heard it from other...cultures, but we too have it."

"So...I'll be able to...oh wow." She didn't have to worry about her work or leaving Loki all alone. "That's...why would he do that?"

"Why, you ask?" Loki teased her as he pulled a lock of her hair near her ear. "You're an intelligent woman, I'm sure you can figure it out."

Jane sighed, "But I did nothing to even deserve something like that."

Heimdall actually chuckled, "No, mortal, you have. To be given the goblet is an honor itself for few of your kind has been given the gift of immortality."

"I don't know...should...I mean, how will I explain it to others?"

"The AllFather will speak with them."

Jane looked at Loki in shock while Heimdall didn't even react. He knew already of course. "What? He would...do that?"

"Yes." Loki took hold of her shoulders gently to make her look at him. "Please drink it, Jane. I know I shouldn't be forcing you but the idea..."

"I know, I thought about it too," admitted Jane. Looking at the castle, she thought of the choices in front of her. Either way, she had freedom yet one gave her the opportunity to live as long as she wished unless she was killed or at a very, very, old age which would be centuries later.

"Okay. I'll drink it."

In the end, love won over again with its selfish being.

...ooo...

"Stop pacing, you'll be worn out once you walk out," Loki said playfully.

"I just feel so anxious," replied Jane.

They were both waiting out the large doors of the ceremony room. It was like the throne room but much larger in size.

"Shall I kiss you again?"

"That would help. Although, you'll make my lips too red and I'll flush."

"It'll add some color to your pale face."

Jane stopped pacing and turned to Loki. "Is it really that bad?"

Loki chuckled, "No. Now, do you want that kiss or no?"

"Do you have to ask?"

Loki took her in his arms and kissed her. It was soft and slow, touching both of their souls with passion at the core. Jane moaned in the kiss as Loki groaned at the same time. She loved these types of kisses since it made her soul sing, as cheesy as that sounded.

The doors creaked open slowly and Jane was the first to pull apart and straighten herself out. She was in special robes but they were simple. White and golden with a hint of silver that was modest on her figure.

Loki smiled as he winked at her and teleported to his spot near the stairway far up ahead.

Jane took in a breath as the doors fully opened with a small thud. All eyes were on her. Steeling her anxiety, she took a step onto the red carpet and headed forward slowly. Jane kept her eyes ahead since she was told she couldn't look elsewhere. It was a tradition that you had to look forward and not hesitate – which looking at the sides meant.

It wasn't as difficult as she thought since she kept her eyes on Loki. He was smiling at her and beside him was Thor, who was also smiling.

It was then she noticed that music was playing and it was surreal. It relaxed her even further and made her feel like she was in a dream.

It took three more minutes for her to finally arrive at the base of the stairway. The goblet and the table was laid out at the top with Odin and Frigga in full armor standing at opposite sides of it. The goblet was large and was golden at the bottom and gradually went to silver with a red rim at the top.

The music halted and silence washed into the room.

"Tell us who you are, mortal," commanded Frigga in a soft and welcoming tone.

"I am Jane Foster of Midgard." Jane's voice was steady.

"We have deemed you worthy, Jane Foster of Midgard, for us to bestow immortality upon you by drinking from this goblet," announced Odin as he put his hand on top of the goblet.

"Do you accept our gift bestowed onto you, Jane Faster of Midgard," asked Frigga as she too put her hand on top of the goblet.

"I accept your honorable gift," Jane replied as she bowed down.

Odin's and Frigga's hand glowed with white light, some particles of magic escaping from the ball of magic they were creating together. The ball of magic got brighter and brighter until it poured into the goblet itself, making it shine like a beacon. Smoke and sparks of magic appeared above the goblet as it dimmed from the magic.

"Rise, Jane Foster of Midgard, and come forth to drink from the goblet to gain immortality," instructed Odin as he and Frigga took their hands off of the goblet.

Jane walked up the steps carefully and slowly until she got to the top. The goblet seemed bigger to her now but she didn't hesitate. Jane grabbed the goblet with two hands and drank the liquid.

The drink burned her throat as it washed down and it tasted like nothing she ever had. Jane drank and drank until she was finished and set the goblet gently down on the table. Nothing felt different and she felt no pain.

Turning around slowly, Jane gazed around the room having no clue what to do next.

"You are now an immortal," claimed Frigga.

Some people cheered while others clapped in celebration. Jane smiled, feeling silly for feeling so nervous. She was now an immortal and could be with Loki even more now. Jane looked at Loki with a smile still on her face as he clapped for her, giving her a nod with a smile of his own.

...ooo...

"So, let me get this straight," said Coulson. "Your son, Loki, brought the Cube back and you accepted him back into Asgard. And, you also gave Jane immortality?"

Odin nodded.

"...this... This is not going to be good for Fury and the other directors to know."

Odin chuckled, "Shall I also speak with them to save you the trouble?"

Coulson gestured at Odin to come to the big screen. After Coulson punched in a code on the monitor and it connected, a split screen of the other directors and Fury popped up.

"Who is that, agent," asked Fury.

"I am Odin, AllFather and King of Asgard. As I told this...agent, my son, Loki, has brought back the Cube." Odin noticed the woman director starting to speak and held up his hand, "It's where it belongs once more. The Cube is too powerful for this world and while my son has indeed caused destruction and murdered your people, the matter is my decision alone either way. Asgard will always have peace with your realm, Midgard, and that is all I have to say."

"You're saying that Loki brought back the Cube," drawled Fury. "Why?"

Odin grinned, "Jane Foster."

Fury tsked and rubbed his head.

"The scientist," asked one of the directors.

"I'm sure you're full of questions. She'll be coming back after her wedding to my son, Loki."

Coulson spat out some coffee he was drinking on the monitor. Fury's eyebrows lifted up as the other directors reacted in shock.

"Farewell." Odin as he jabbed his staff down on the ground, disappearing from their view.

"Someone get a towel please," demanded Coulson as the screen flickered.

...ooo...

Loki and Jane were heading out of the ceremony room, getting tired and had enough to eat and drink. With her arm wrapped around his, Loki lead her to his room. Just like any other room in the castle, it was huge but she could immediately tell it was his room.

With a wave of his free hand, Loki lit the grand fireplace in the middle with blue flames to create a light source. The fire soon lit up the tiny crooks in the ceiling as well as the upper areas of the walls. It was a magical sight to see.

"You do have a bath, right?"

Loki chuckled, "Of course." With another wave of his hand, the wall to the right of the fireplace opened. Inside was a huge bathroom with an enormous bath. It seemed like a pool. Near it was a magical fountain that switched on and the water came out in many different colors from the faucets.

Jane shook her head while smiling. "Is everything in this place like this?"

"We are in a castle, dear Jane."

"Yes but...is this really all that necessary?"

Loki started to undo the wrap around her waist, "Oh quite." The wrap fell to the ground as he undid the tie of her robe on her back. His hand sneaked underneath the cloth, touching her and caressing the skin with his palm and fingertips. Loki pressed himself against her as he snaked his hand across her hip to her stomach.

Jane gasped as she felt the cloth fall over her right shoulder, feeling the draft of air brushing against her skin. Her breasts reacted by hardening at the peaks. Jane shivered as she pushed her head back against his upper chest and felt the hard armor plates.

She closed her eyes from the friction that Loki created as he caressed her stomach with his hand. He moved his mouth to her ear and blew into it lightly, causing her to flinch and gasp in surprise. Chuckling, he kissed her neck as he moved his body against hers, pulling her tighter to him. With the other hand, Loki pushed down the other side of the robes slowly to tease her.

Jane felt his breath tickle her neck and the air on her left shoulder as the clothing slipped away. Loki moved his mouth from her neck to her shoulder, kissing the skin there and then nipping it.

"Loki," she gasped, shifting her arm so that it would fall down. It revealed half of her figure to Loki, who immediately snaked his hand over her thigh downward. He caressed the skin there as he panted in her ear now, nibbling on it as he coaxed her thigh. With the tips of his fingers, he moved around the leg to the backside of her thigh and up the slope of her butt.

It tickled Jane and she couldn't help arching her back a little before stepping away from him. However, Loki had a tight grip on her waist and he responded with a soft growl. "Oh no, you're not going anywhere," he purred in a low ton, causing Jane to respond with pants.

"Let me face you," whispered Jane as she felt his hands glide up and down her back and thigh. Without waiting for his answer, Jane turned to face him and brought up a hand to undo the golden armor plates he wore. Loki smirked as the plates shattered into pieces as soon as they came off. His cape that was held back in the last set disappeared like it was burned.

Jane smiled as she glided her hands over some of the armor, enjoying the leather texture underneath her fingers. Loki smiled, leaning down to kiss her as he pushed her towards the large bed. Jane's robe slid off of her body once he unwrapped his arm around her as she sat down on the end of the bed. Loki had both of his hands on the green cover as he continued to kiss her.

They were both panting as the kiss intensified. Jane grasped his top layer of armor and pushed it off of his shoulders with Loki's help. She traced the band of armor looped above his chest, remembering the last time she had done that.

Breaking the kiss, Jane watched her hand move slowly over the metal, feeling the smooth and familiar texture again.

Loki's hand came over hers and drew it into his, holding her hand in his. He looked into her eyes with such passion that Jane felt breathless at his intense gaze.

Pulling herself up, Jane started to moved back on the bad while smiling devilishly. Loki followed her as his the vest looking armor disappeared into pieces. As always, they vanished before they touched something.

Jane was at the middle of the large bed and Loki was now on top of her naked body, raking a hand up her leg and hip. Loki leaned down kiss her again but this time it was rough. Jane moaned loudly against his mouth as her hands reached up to grasp onto the armor on his back. Some locks of Loki's hair fell onto her face and tickled her.

"You still have some armor on," she said in between kisses.

Loki gave a sly smile, "You enjoy the feel of my armor on your body."

Jane moaned as she felt him move his body up and down hers, the soft leather causing delicious friction. Oh did she ever love it. One of her legs lifted up and brushed it against his thigh softly. Loki groaned in response, his head going down on her right shoulder as he put his weight on her. Giggling, Jane continued as she ran her hands up and down his back slowly. She felt his back muscles respond to her touch as well as something pressing against her.

"It's not wise to tempt a God." His voice was husky, showing that he was going to lose control any moment.

"Then hurry up," she replied as she grabbed some of his hair and tugged hard, forcing him to move his head up to look at her. It was that intense gaze from before but this time his eyes were crimson.

"As you wish," he hissed harshly but he didn't attack her. As he pushed himself up on his hands, his trousers shattered away finally - yet his top armor was still on his figure. Loki hesitated as he adjusted his hips, looking down at Jane in wonder with his crimson eyes.

Did she really want to have his children? It tore him to even ask her of such a thing.

"I told you I love you no matter what you were, remember Loki?" She saw right through him. As always. "I want to have a family with you." Jane brought up her hand to caress his cheek lovingly, watching him as he leaned his cheek against her hand like a kitten. "You'll be a fantastic father, Loki."

He really didn't deserve her. Loki closed his eyes in sadness, touched by her words.

Jane felt something wet drop onto her fingers, noticing that Loki was shedding tears. "Oh Loki." She reached up and pulled him down in a hug, soothing him as she rubbed his back.

Loki wrapped his arms around her as much as he could to hold her tight. "Jane..." His voice was broken as he silently cried as Jane continued to stroke his back.

"I know. I know," assured Jane, hugging him tighter.

Loki continued to cry softly in her shoulder until he fell asleep. Jane had to shift him a bit off of her so that his body was halfway on top of hers. She brushed his hair with her fingers as she watched him sleep. It was weird but she couldn't help but look at his face that had dried tear markings by his eyes. His expression clenched her heart since he looked so sad.

Jane looked at the bath area before turning her attention to the God who was sleeping on her like a lost adult. She could always go for a day without a wash since she had pulled all nighters before. It wouldn't be so different if she didn't take one now.

"I haven't had one in five days," she muttered to herself. Just the thought made her shudder. Making up her mind, she gently pushed Loki so that he would roll over. When he would wake, he would see her in the bath. Jane smiled down at him and slipped off the edge of the bed. She padded over to the bath area, thankful that the water was still warm when she tested it.

She stepped into it and eased herself in, causing some of the water to overflow off the side but it made no mess since there was a huge drain area on the floor. Jane grabbed one of the soaps and jumped a bit when the bar turned to liquid immediately in her hand.

Now that was interesting!

Wanting to see what else it would do, Jane started to rub herself with the soap and it immediately ran over her body in the water. It didn't disintegrate like she thought. It covered her shoulders all the way to her feet. Jane waited to see what it would do next. Something splashed into the water and, as if it were some spell, two wash cloths were rubbing the soapy areas.

When the cloths were done, they pulled themselves out of the water and wrung themselves before floating back onto the railing they were hanging on before over the tub.

Jane was amazed and wondered just how it did that.

The tub started to drain itself before putting in fresh warm water. Jane looked up to see the wash cloths and noticed that they were dry already.

"Incredible," she muttered in awe.

Reaching up, Jane grabbed one of the cloths and dunked in the water to wet it to wipe her face. As she stood up, the cloth floated from her hand and wrung itself again. A towel slipped from the railing that it hung from and wrapped around her body. The wash cloth went back to its spot on the railing as she stepped out of the tub.

The colorful fountain shut off with soft squeaks and as she stepped out of the area, a robe floated onto the bed. The door slid shut behind her and that's when she realized where the magic source was coming from. There was a little light source in the doors that came from Loki's magic when he opened it.

Smiling at her own finding, she walked back to the bed.

Loki hadn't moved at all as he slept and didn't even respond to her as Jane sat down beside him.

The towel started to unwrap from her and Jane noticed that it had soaked up the droplets of water. Looking back at the door, she saw, at that moment, the little blue light dimming.

"So it doesn't stop until the towels finish their job." Jane stood up to fold the towel and set it on the base of the bed near the robe. The robe was silver with a green collar and it looked soft. Jane tested it with her hand and it felt like she was petting an animal with the softest fur.

"That's the fur of a Stalg."

Jane looked at Loki in surprise. He was now sitting up on the bed with his trousers back in place.

"A stalg," questioned Jane with a small tilt of her head as she continued to pet the robe. "What is that?"

"A very rare creature that is crossed between a stallion and a stag. Unlike normal horses or stags, their fur is thick and long as a feline's. It's thicker around the neck and they produce long manes and tails. Their antlers are golden and large like a stag while their hooves are that of a horse in a dark bronze color."

Something just didn't add up. "Wait, you said a stallion and a stag. How could they reproduce?"

"They don't. When a stallion and a stag die at the same time, their soul becomes one. It's unclear why."

Jane pictured the animal, wondering what it would look like and how it would walk and run. "I really want to see one now."

Loki chuckled softly, "Perhaps. There are some near a lake located far North."

Her eyes glinted with excitement. "Could we go there?"

Loki smiled at her as he stood up to stand at her side and slide his hand up the slope of her butt all the way up the spine of her back. "The journey will be quite long."

"Nice try, you can teleport," countered Jane with a smile of her own as she slipped out of his arms to put on the robe. She loved the soft texture of it and couldn't help but rub it again as she tied the wrap.

"That's only if I've been there," Loki replied as he squeezed her butt. Jane yelped, her hands going back to try and pry his hands off of her bottom. Loki's hand was already gone, pulling the cover back.

Wanting to get back at him, Jane jumped onto his back. Loki was surprised at her response but he easily held her up as he continued to pull back the cover.

It was as if she wasn't even on him and was ignoring her.

"Loki," she purred in his ear as her arms snaked over his shoulders and down to his chest. Jane hadn't acted this way before but she didn't find it horrible. In fact, it was fun being the seducer. Jane traced his jaw with her hand and kissed the area below his ear slowly.

"Jane," he warned.

"Don't hold back," whispered Jane.

Loki tugged her off of his back and pushed her unto the bed, tugging her further on the bed. Jane welcomed his hot kisses and touches upon her. He was doing just as she asked, loosing control. However, he made sure he didn't harm her severely.

With a wave of his hand, the flames in the fireplace died, leaving them in the darkness. All that could be heard was their lovemaking.

...ooo...

Loki was the first to awake in the morning. The sunlight was held at bay by a huge and thick curtain covering his balcony large doors that acted as windows.

Next to him was Jane, sleeping soundly with her back to him. His arm was around her waist while hers was underneath the pillow. Even though he was an early bird, Loki didn't wish to get out of bed.

Last night was something he would never thought to happen. Jane had accepted him fully and that's when he remembered that he lost some control. It happened before, but this time, it was different. He had lost himself while inside her.

Loki tightened his arm around her and closed his eyes to wish the thought away.

Jane had taken his rough behavior without problems before but that time was different. He didn't wish to cause her harm since he loved her very dearly. She caused him to cry all because she showed and told him how much she loved him.

She was here. Jane was his. Entirely.

When she woke up one and half hour later, they kissed for a while before getting dressed. Well, Jane tried to since Loki kept stealing her clothing since she was putting on her regular clothes. She tried to pull her jeans free with her top and underwear on. Loki had a strong grip and started to wrap the clothing around her, giving her a long kiss. When he pulled away, he gave her a sly grin and finally let go of her trousers.

"You are impossible!" Jane pushed him with her leg.

"Get dressed," he said with a chuckle as he walked by and wrapped his arm around her.

Jane was trapped in his grip as he walked two more steps, causing her to squirm. "Loki!"

"My apologies. Figured you would be done already." Loki snickered this time as he let her go, causing her to smack at him playfully with her jeans. That only caused Loki to laugh even more as Jane finally put on her trousers.

"You are just so - So -" Jane was trying to think of a word to describe him.

"You forget who I am, dear Jane." Loki winked at her and headed towards the door.

Jane followed him. "Oh believe me, I haven't forgotten." The door opened and they headed out of the room. "The moment my eyes laid upon you, I knew you were going to be a handful."

Loki stopped to look at her, with an eyebrow raised. "Handful?"

"Yes," she said as she walked right up to him. "Troublemaker. I just know one of our kids are going to take after you."

"Perhaps all will," he said as he started to walk again with a little smirk, still looking at her.

Jane glared at him as she crossed her arms. "That won't happen."

"They will once they see it's quite fun to tease you." Loki sped up and looked away from her to pay attention where he was going. Not that he needed to, he knew the entire castle by memory since Thor dared him to walk around in a blindfold one time.

Jane shook her head while she smiled at Loki's back before jogging after him to catch up.

When they head outside of the castle, Jane wondered where they might be going. As she realized they were going to cross the bridge, Loki guided her to the horse area.

"Wait, why are we going to cross the bridge?"

"Figured you would like to bring your friends here," said Loki as he got up on his horse. The mare was a dapple gray covered in armor.

"I...can?" Jane was surprised. "Does that mean..." Jane took in a breath to calm herself before continuing. "They can come and see when we wed?"

Now it was Loki's turn to be surprised. He had wondered when to bring up what day they could be married. He knew how she felt about being Queen, but now that there was going to be a joint rule, perhaps she changed her mind? "Of course," he said with a smile as he guided his horse forward to where she stood.

He offered her his hand as he took out his right foot from the stirrup. Jane took it without hesitation and brought up her right foot into the stirrup. With a push up, Loki pulled her onto the saddle behind him.

As Jane adjusted herself, wrapping her arms around him, Loki nudged the mare to a trot.

When they got onto the rainbow bridge, he nudged his horse to a canter and then to a gallop.

...ooo...

Darcy stepped out of the truck that had taken her back to the lab. As much as she liked being back, she still hadn't been told on what happened. Well, she had a good idea, but it was eating her up inside to not know what happened to her friend, Jane, and Erik.

Coulson walked up to her with his hands in his pockets. "Everything is already inside that was transported."

"Yeah, but not Jane or Erik. Where are they?"

"Erik is currently being brought here after SHIELD found the base Loki was using at the time."

"At the time? You mean he wasn't there?"

"Not a single person saw him the past week, even his own men that were hired."

"Okay, but you haven't told me where Jane is." Darcy crossed her arms as she stared at Coulson. "Don't bother lying. I've been told I'm stubborn to a point of making someone mad."

"Yes...about that..." Coulson rubbed his mouth as he looked around.

"Stalling isn't helping."

"Okay, I know this will sound weird-"

"I work with Jane. Your definition of weird isn't the same as mine, so spill it, buddy."

"She-"

"Sir, sir! We have confirmation of a wormhole!"

Loki and Jane had finally arrived.

Loki was used to the landing but he barely had enough time to get Jane into his arms when they were shot down from the beam of light. Even Jane felt the rough landing while she was held up.

"Wow...that thing packs a punch."

"More than that," said Loki as he put her down gently. "When I first traveled through it, it felt like someone singed my legs."

Jane cringed, imagining it as she rubbed her arms.

They walked together into town, some of the people staring at them. Mostly Loki since he was tall and had armor on. He didn't have his golden plates on nor his cape or helmet.

Loki couldn't help but smirk as he walked alongside Jane. Wanting to mess with those watching, he grabbed her hand and brought it up to kiss it.

Jane hadn't expected such a public romantic gesture.

She turned her head to his in surprise, seeing his devilish smirk plastered on his mouth and gave her a wink, chuckling.

"Having a bit of fun," he said as he finally teleported them to the lab, causing those who were watching them disappear in shock.

Darcy almost jumped out of her skin when Jane appeared out of no where. "Oh my god, Jane! Where have you been?"

Jane walked away from Loki, causing him to let go of her hand as she went to hug her friend. "In Asgard," she said plainly.

"What?" Darcy pulled away from Jane with wide eyes and holding Jane by the shoulders. "You were in Asgard? This whole time?"

Jane laughed, "No, not this whole time. I'll tell you later."

Darcy let go of Jane and put her hands on her hips, "You better. I was worried sick since they wouldn't tell me a damn thing."

"Don't worry, I will."

"So, tell me who's the tall, dark, and handsome one there?" Darcy was looking at Loki just like when she first saw Thor.

Jane rolled her eyes with a small smile. "He's Loki."

"Loki?" Darcy furrowed her brow. "Wait, wasn't he-"

Jane took hold of her friend's arm and started to tug her into the lab, "Yes, yes. As I said, I'm going to tell you everything."

Darcy kept her eyes on Loki, suspicious of him.

Loki was used to others looking at him at that way.

So, he gave her a wink with a smirk.

Darcy's eyes widened and turned to look at Jane just as they got to the door. "You better tell me every single thing, Jane."

Jane opened the door for Darcy, looking at Loki with a shake of her head. When Darcy turned to look at her, she smiled at her friend.

"And I mean every single detail." Darcy's tone was strict but Jane couldn't help but laugh at her.

As they walked in the lab with the doors closing, Loki was confronted by Coulson.

"Your...All Father is it? He came here and explained to us what happened." Coulson felt so awkward talking to someone who had killed so many people. A God at that too. "And, he also told us about...well. He hinted-"

"Spit it out," demanded Loki, growing tired of the mortal's babbling.

"He told us that she, Jane Foster, will be coming back after she's married."

Loki snickered. "She isn't. Not yet." He had to hand it to Odin for putting that thought into the mortals head's.

"Then why-"

"I brought her here without her request. She was worried of her mortal friends."

Coulson shifted his foot on the dried dirt and nodded. "Right. Of course."

Loki wanted to go in the lab to be with Jane but, as much as he wished to hear how Jane explained everything to her mortal friend, he'd figured to stay outside.

...ooo...

"Wait, hold the phone," said Darcy as she put her hand up. "You're telling me that you broke up with Thor and then got it on with his brother?"

"Sort of...like that."

Darcy gestured at Jane with her fingers that she wanted more. "Details, honey. Now."

"Darcy," warned Jane. "That's getting a bit too personal."

"Uh huh. Spill it sister."

'There's nothing more to tell! When I was moved to a secure location, Loki found me, forced me to join him, and somehow, along the way, we formed this...this...weird relationship with each other."

Darcy wanted to get some chips at this rate. "Yes. So you practically submitted to his advances – and, before you say anything, I would too. I mean, wow. I would be questioning my sexuality if I rejected him."

Jane rubbed her forehead. Yup, same ol' Darcy.

"So, where did you two do it huh?"

"On a beach."

"Night time?"

"Yes."

Darcy tilted her head as she imagined it. "Mmm."

Jane waved a hand in her friend's face, trying to get her out of it. "Okay, I guess you won't be attending the wedding if you're lost in-"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Darcy put up her hands in shock. "No way, you're – you're marrying – I'm so envious of you! Damnit Jane, at least share!"

"Sorry to break it to you Darcy but I don't share. Neither does Loki."

"What about Thor?"

"You tazed him," Jane said plainly.

"Hey, he was freaking me out at that time and I apologized after that."

"After you saw him without a shirt."

"Yeah, well, at least I meant it. So, wedding? I'm totally going since I will not miss that or skip the chance to go to Asgard. Ever. Hey, are there any hot guys up there?"

Jane sighed. She really should be used to Darcy's quirks when it involved, as she put it, hot guys. "I don't know. I wasn't really paying attention or roaming my eyes around," she said sarcastically.

Darcy just laughed. "That's true." Darcy looked at Loki through the huge windows. "With Mr. Tall, Dark, and Handsome there, I wouldn't be looking elsewhere either."

Before Jane could respond, Darcy spotted a truck arriving and started to shout, "That's Erik!"

The two friends walked out of the lab and headed towards the now parked truck. The passenger door opened and Erik slipped out. When he saw Darcy and Jane, he was surprised.

"Oh my god, I didn't think I would see you two again – especially you Jane."

They hugged each other as Loki watched on, noticing how Erik's expression changed from happiness to dread and fear at seeing Loki.

Erik pushed Jane and Darcy behind him, not thinking that Coulson was right beside the tall God and no one was trying to arrest him. Or attack him.

"You," threatened Erik. "Why the hell are you here?"

Darcy giggled, hardly containing herself and saved Jane on explaining. She babbled on and on until it was Jane's turn to explain.

"He's still a murderer!"

Coulson and Loki sighed together, both getting tired of the same lines being said.

"Yes, we know," groaned Coulson. "Quite frankly, I'm tired of explaining why we're not arresting him or attacking him. I mean, it should be pretty obvious given that he's a God and has magical powers and the Cube is back in Asgard."

Now that made Erik surprised. "What?"

"Their King came here and said so himself."

"Come on Erik, we're going to go shopping for new clothes for the wedding," Darcy said as she took hold of Erik's arm, excited of the whole idea of seeing Asgard and seeing her friend marry – and of course, seeing hot guys in armor!

Erik looked down at Darcy. "What wedding?" He looked at Jane in confusion.

Jane smiled nervously, knowing that he might lecture her. "Yeah, wedding. To Loki. Me to Loki." Yeah, she was nervous that she couldn't even speak right.

"You're...marrying him?" Erik pointed to Loki.

"Yes."

"Marrying...Loki?"

"How many times do I need to say it?"

"Are you insane? What about what he has done to you and to me and to all the other people that he harmed and murdered?"

"All in the past, Erik, so come on," piped up Darcy as she started to pull him away. "No use lecturing her, they're very much in love – oh, I just got an idea of what color I'm going to wear! Maybe I should wear contacts and not my glasses but they would probably love to see my glasses since I haven't seen any drawn in the books. Oh! Definitely gotta get gloves and a wrap and-" Darcy's ramblings were finally gone once she and Erik went inside the lab, heading towards her laptop.

"That mortal likes to speak a lot."

Coulson nodded. "Yeah...she sure does. Well, we better be off, no use us staying here now." He nodded at Jane and Loki as he took his leave, heading into a car.

Jane and Loki watched the cars and trucks belonging to SHIELD leave. Jane thought she would never see such a sight.

"So...wedding. When is that going to be? Darcy is extremely excited, as you noticed."

"Two days from now perhaps," suggested Loki.

Jane was shocked. "In such a short notice?"

Loki chuckled and pulled her against his side, kissing her head. "Our ceremonies do not take longer as necessary."

Jane looked at him finally, showing her surprise at what he just admitted. "You read about them, didn't you?"

"Curiously, yes. Many kinds in this realm."

"I just have to ask. How are Asgardian wedding clothes?"

"Simple and white, just like the one you wore yesterday."

Jane breathed in a sigh of relief. "Oh thank goodness. I could never understand how a woman would spend hours searching for a dress larger than her and wear it once in her lifetime."

"I wondered the exact same thing."

They gazed into each others eyes, both smiling at each other.

"I love it when that happens," Jane said softly as Loki's eyes pulled her in once more.

"You haven't told them yet of your immortality, have you?"

"No, I haven't. I want to see their shocked faces when they find out the hard way."

Loki laughed a good and huge genuine one. "You, my dear Jane," he said in between but he couldn't continue since he was laughing so hard.

"You've been a terrible influence on me," whispered Jane as if it were a secret.

Loki just continued to laugh and it really felt wonderful to laugh again. When he stopped, he leaned down and kissed her hotly. Loki couldn't help but chuckle against her lips, puffing some air onto her cheek and nose as he did so since her words were still fresh in his mind.

His breaths tickled Jane in the process and she couldn't help but laugh against his lips. "I love you," she said as her lips brushed against his, holding his head in her hands.

"And I, you, my Jane," he said with a sly grin and kissed her once more.

...ooo...

"All set and ready to go," asked Jane as she walked into the magic circle that was fresh on the ground when she and Loki arrived before.

"So ready," said Darcy as she joined Jane and Loki with her large travel bag before turning her attention upon the tall God. "You really helped me out getting my packages."

Loki nodded at her, having used his teleportation skill after they cheated his magic by showing him a picture of the place for him to conjure up in his mind.

"Are we...really going to Asgard," asked Erik, not quite believing it.

"Not if you take forever, Erik," retorted Darcy and she pulled him and his medium travel bag into the circle.

Jane had a duffel bag over her shoulder, needing only little belongings of hers even though she would be able to come and go as she pleased.

Seeing that they were all ready, Loki called upon Heimdall and before Darcy and Erik knew it, the BiFrost sucked them up into the wormhole.

"This is incredible!" Darcy shouted at the speed it was taking them to Asgard.

"I can scarcely believe that this is happening," said Erik as his grip tightened on his travel bag.

With a bright light, they all appeared in the BiFrost dome, the cannon slowing down and went back to its upright position. As Darcy and Erik gawked – Erik taking notes in a small notebook he fished out of his shirt pocket, Loki and Jane headed out of the dome.

The dapple gray mare was there waiting on the bridge and nickered a greeting at Loki, who came up to her to pet her head. "You'll ride her, Jane."

"What about-"

Loki had transformed into his mare form. A saddle and a bridle shimmered into existence onto his sleek and tall form.

"Right." Jane mounted on the dapple gray mare's back and called out to Darcy and Erik. "Darcy, you'll ride with me. Erik will...ride on that horse."

Darcy came into view from the opening of the BiFrost dome and stared out in awe. Erik did the same thing.

Jane couldn't help but laugh and Loki, still as a mare, let out a neigh as if he were laughing too.

"Hey, where'd he go," asked Darcy.

"Right there." Jane pointed to Loki with her thumb.

"Incredible," muttered Erik as he stared at Loki.

"You sure I gotta ride with you Jane-"

"With me," ordered Jane.

"Okay, okay, calm down." Darcy headed to Jane as she looked at Loki again. "Geez Erik, you're lucky."

"I beg to differ," replied Erik as he looked at his travel bag. "Well..., guess this will go on first."

After Darcy and Erik put their luggage on the horses, Darcy mounted herself on the dapple gray mare with Jane's help. The mare didn't react to the weight as a normal horse would with such a heavy load, thanks to Darcy's large travel bag.

Erik had a bit of trouble getting on Loki since Loki kept messing around with him. When Erik tried to put his foot in the stirrup, Loki would move away from him, causing Erik to stumble. Or when Erik tried to push himself up, Loki would nip at Erik's leg.

"Loki." Jane tried to keep in her laughter but was failing horribly. "Just let Erik on, please."

Loki snorted and gave Erik a little buck since Erik used that time of distraction to finally get on Loki's back. However, Erik had no trouble hanging on when Loki bucked him a little since he was holding onto the reins tight.

"Please, let's just go," groaned Erik, clearly uncomfortable.

Loki immediately shot forward, racing across the bridge as Jane and Darcy followed on Loki's horse. Erik was hanging on for dear life since Loki was faster than a Thoroughbred.

"Slow down! I can barely hang on!"

Loki snorted and gave a nicker, moving his head side to side like a normal horse would.

He sped up even more, causing Erik to shout out, "Damn you, Loki!"

Loki definitely lived up to what he was known for: Being mischievous.

The golden gates opened quickly for Loki as he dashed in, heading straight to the open arena where the other horses were. He managed to slow down to a canter and then to a trot before stopping completely right when Erik thought he would run into the fence.

Erik got off of Loki immediately and took the travel bag from Loki's back. He was surprised it didn't fall off given the speed Loki was going at.

"You...," panted Erik. "I am never...doing that again."

Jane and Darcy soon appeared on Loki's horse, the mare flicked her white tail as they came closer before stopping on her own.

"Looked like you had fun, Erik," teased Darcy, dismounting before Jane and got her luggage.

"That wasn't fun. I felt like I was going to fall," Erik puffed in between.

Darcy was the first to look up at the castle, "Whoa."

Jane dismounted carefully since she had ridden with her duffel bag around her.

Erik joined in with Darcy, not even bothering to take out his little notebook, as they pointed out things.

Jane couldn't help but smile at her friends, knowing exactly how they felt when she first came here with Loki.

Loki transformed back to normal, his armor and helmet shimmering on him but they shimmered away just as they appeared. He had no need of the full set right now, especially how heavy the helmet was. He had manipulated his full armor into a saddle and a bridle before to allow Erik to ride him across the bridge.

Walking up behind Jane, he let his hand snake around her waist, that wasn't blocked by the bag she carried, and gave her a little hug. "We must be off to tell my father about the news," he whispered in her ear.

Jane nodded as Loki pulled away, wanting him to put his arm around her again but they did need to hurry. "Come on you two, we need to head inside," she said as she followed after Loki towards the large doors.

Darcy and Erik walked quickly after them, still pointing and staring in awe.

As the large doors opened, the four of them set foot in the large throne room. The last time Jane was in here, it was during the night with Loki as the moon glowed through the windows.

It still looked magnificent and surreal even now.

Darcy and Erik were quiet in shock.

Jane noticed Odin and Frigga were upon the throne room as they walked forward.

Guards were stationed at the pillars in gleaming armor with a staff in their hands and a horned helmet bound on their heads.

Darcy and Erik kept their distance from Loki and Jane before stopping a few feet behind them as Loki and Jane stopped near the stairs. The four of them kneeled to Odin and Frigga.

"My son, you have come with news I hope," asked Odin.

"Indeed I have," said Loki as he stood up from his kneeling position. He signaled at Jane to rise up, and as she did so, he announced, "I will have Jane Foster as my wife."

Odin nodded. "Very well. It shall be done and held in two days time during the coronation of you and Thor along with your soon-to-been-Queens."

Loki caught on with the "soon" part. "Pardon?" He wanted to be sure he heard right.

"Thor has asked Sif's hand," replied Frigga.

"Yes I have," boomed Thor, causing Loki and Jane to turn around. Erik and Darcy did as well. Thor walked towards them with a smile, his red cape swinging side to side behind him as his armor clinked.

"Thor," said Erik. "Good to see you again."

"And in that armor," mumbled Darcy as she looked over him like she did the first time she saw it.

"Darcy," warned Jane and Erik at once.

"What? I'm only looking."

Thor just boomed with laughter before putting an arm around his brother. "I now understand fully what you said yesterday, brother."

Loki lifted an eyebrow but didn't say anything.

"I was a fool not to realize Sif-"

"You were," drawled Loki.

"-and it was exactly as you said, brother."

"Yes. Your armor is digging into my side, Thor."

"Loki," teased Thor.

"My congratulations goes to you both. Quite sincerely."

"Ha! We shall drink tonight in celebration!"

Loki couldn't help an amused grin at his brother and his wine drinking. "I'd rather not."

"Nonsense brother. You and I will drink until we both fall to the ground."

"You forget that I am not someone who drowns himself in wine."

Thor laughed loud and hard. "We shall see, brother."

...ooo...

The entire day was spent planning out how the ceremony and coronation would go in two days from now as the seamstresses measured Jane and Sif.

Darcy was having a blast helping Jane out while Erik spoke with Odin and Frigga helped out her sons.

As Frigga watched her two sons, she was proud of them.

Even though Loki wasn't really her son, she brought him up as her own. She remembered his wails during the night requiring milk or a change of his cloth. Then... Frigga smiled as she recalled his childhood when he first showed her his magical ability with such excitement as he raced into her room.

"Mother! Mother!" Loki's voice could be heard out in the hallway, causing Frigga to stand up from her chair in worry, fearing him or Thor being injured. When he pushed open the door hard, he ran straight to her.

"Look, look! I can make snakes appear!" Loki concentrated on one of the vases that held water, causing a small snake to slither out of the vase. "Oh...only one appeared," pouted Loki in confusion.

Frigga smiled down at Loki and kneeled down to hug him. "You have a talent, Loki. It's always good to get better with something you enjoy to do."

Loki gave her a genuine smile with one of his canine teeth missing, making it even more adorable. "I'll be great! You'll see!"

Then the memory of the time he was a teenager, slowly turning to a man came forth. That was also the time Loki had become quite the troublemaker by pranking others, even his own brother.

There was one very memory she wouldn't be able to forget, no matter how many years would pass.

Loki raced into her room, interrupting her painting and hid behind the canvas holder. Frigga was once again worried and set down her brush to go to him.

"What's wrong, Loki?"

"I...I didn't mean to-" Loki was tearful as he clung to her body, burying his face into her robes.

Frigga brushed his hair and cooed at him, kneeling down to his eye level. When had he grown to her waist? "Shhh. Tell me, what didn't you mean to do?"

Loki sniffled with a hiccup. "I made father angry. I...I didn't mean to go down in the weapon vault but I couldn't stop. Something...called to me down there. I...I didn't know what it was. I tried to ignore it but...but..."

Frigga embraced Loki tight, rubbing his back for comfort. "He has a terrible temper, you know that."

"I..."

"Shhh. You did nothing wrong, my son."

"But...but why is something telling me to go down there? Am I...cursed?"

Frigga pulled away to look into Loki's brilliant green eyes. "Of course not, darling" She wiped his tears and gave his forehead a kiss. "You're not cursed."

"Then why... I can hear it now. It whispers to me and I feel cold, like those Frost Giants father told me about."

Frigga shook her head. "You are loved, darling. You are not cursed, you have done nothing to be cursed upon." Frigga fixed his hair, feeling its soft texture as she realized how long it had grown once again. He was growing so fast. "Never forget that, Loki."

Loki stared into her eyes and nodded, wiping his eyes with the back of his hand.

Frigga had so wished to tell Loki the truth at that time but Odin had requested her to not. What she hadn't expected was Odin to talk to Thor and Loki, especially Loki, about the Frost Giants.

She could understand what Loki felt when he found out.

"I must leave since I promised Sif a ride out on the countryside," announced Thor, leaving Loki and Frigga alone.

Frigga brought out her arms to Loki and he went over to her without hesitation.

They embraced as mother and son as always.

"I am so sorry," she whispered, her voice wavering as tears finally fell. "How you must have felt and how I wanted to tell you..." Frigga sniffed as she held him tighter, feeling him do the same. She had wanted to tell these words to Loki for so long and to have him accept them with an embrace...

It broke her heart even more even though she should be happy.

"You accepted me as your son," muttered Loki, his own voice cracking a little.

"You were so young. Starving, wailing... I couldn't... I had no idea the plan Odin had at the time. All I could think of what kind of parents could abandon their child?" Frigga sniffed loudly and swallowed so she wouldn't cry hard. "Just the thought of it tore me as a mother."

"You're a wonderful mother, mother." Loki used Frigga's hair to wipe his tears, causing her bun to become lose.

Frigga couldn't help the dam of tears now. She had the forgiveness of Loki with her now and now, she couldn't keep her emotions check.

People said that sons gained their personalities and behaviors from their fathers but not in Loki's case. Even though he wasn't their biological son, Frigga viewed and raised him as her own son. She spent time more than any other family member, always there for him even after all he that he did.

Because she was his mother and they were alike in many ways.

...ooo...

Thor had dragged Loki with him much later after dinner to celebrate despite Loki's protests. However, Thor managed to get him all the way down to the dining area where the servants were cleaning up.

"Bring us as much wine as you can get and bring one of the barrels," boomed Thor.

"Thor," warned Loki.

"No more, brother." Thor pulled Loki down with him onto the bench at one of the tables. "We need to celebrate."

"I'd rather-"

"Loki. Please." Thor looked at his brother in the eye, his guard completely down as if they were children once more.

Loki sighed and put his legs underneath the table. "Fine, but just this once," he said as he turned to Thor with his pointer finger up.

"Fantastic!" Thor clapped Loki's shoulder, causing Loki a bit of pain. Loki moved his leg to push Thor hard in response, causing Thor to laugh.

When the wine came, Thor drank and drank, spouting about nonsense while Loki drank slower but Thor managed to pour some more in Loki's mouth and in his goblet.

"Come on, brother," mumbled Thor with his voice changing octaves because of the sixty goblets of wine he had gone through. "You need to...drink it all! The entire barrel with me!"

Loki was on his twenty fourth goblet of wine, shaking it a little to cause some of the wine to splash out of it.

"Drink it up! Make your ancestors proud!"

Loki clenched his jaw. The thought of his own ancestors...

"Or make them angry," said Thor as he brought up his goblet. "We're in celebration, brother. No harm in that."

"The headache in the morning will be-"

"Let our women take care of that, brother of mine."

Loki lifted an eyebrow at Thor. The thought of Jane taking care of him didn't seem to bother him. Actually, he was shocked he didn't think of that before himself.

With a deep chuckle and a grin, Loki brought up his own goblet to clink against his brothers. "I'm shocked, brother. Truly. Who knew you could think of such a sly thought."

Thor laughed as they brought their goblets to their lips.

They drank more and more until they could have none. Thor was stumbling over his feet and Loki...well, Loki had such a hard time concentrating on walking that he just stayed near the table.

"Come...broth-" Thor groaned and fell down again.

Loki tried to regain his own balance but it was no use. He couldn't even picture his room to teleport.

Thor was on the floor, laughing like a complete loon. "This wasn't part of my plan."

"Your plans never go over well," said Loki as he leaned back against the table, closing his eyes as he spread out his legs in front of him.

Thor was still laughing as if he couldn't stop. "Yet you still join in on them."

"Seeing you fail is very amusing," slurred Loki.

"Ha! Oh you do wound me with those words, brother. Do I have a knife in my back?"

"I can't even see your pitiful fallen form."

Thor just continued to laugh even more as he stayed on the floor. "It's great to have you back, Loki."

"I don't think I feel the same," drawled Loki but couldn't help his own laugh fit at bay.

"Ah you lying brother of mine."

They stayed that way, bantering at each other like siblings did, until they were found by Sif and Jane. They exchanged amused glances and turned back to the two brothers with smiles

"It's good to see them like this again," whispered Sif before heading to Thor.

Jane shook her head while giggling and went to Loki.

"Siiiiif, so good you joined us," slurred Thor, completely drunk and happy.

"You've had enough celebration now, Thor," Sif said sternly as she pulled Thor up, having no trouble. "Now let's get you washed up and...your breath is horrid."

"Very well," chuckled Thor as he stumbled against her, leaning for support.

Jane was smiling down at Loki and brushed his hair. "Hey," she said gently as Loki opened his eyes.

"Ah, Jane... What an unseemly sight I am for you."

Jane laughed and shook her head, "No, not at all. Come on." Jane offered her hand at him. Loki grabbed it and found himself being pulled up from his seat.

However, he lost his balance and leaned against Jane, who just laughed and got him to be steady on his feet.

She led him out of the room and all the way back to his room - it wasn't easy either since he kept leaning on her. Jane found herself being pushed against the wall more times that she could count and she had a hunch that he did that on purpose cause she heard him grunt.

When they stumbled into his room, the moon shone from the balcony windows, causing it to light up part of the room.

Seeing that she would need magic to open the bath area door, she led him to the bed, pulled back the covers, and pushed him down gently on it.

"I am never...doing that again." Loki closed his eyes, feeling Jane ran a hand over his cheek gently.

"Good idea," Jane said with a small laugh. "Can you do any magic?"

"Not in this state of lack...lack...mm." Loki's eyebrows furrowed in frustration.

Jane giggled with a hand on her mouth. "Guess we'll just sleep without a bath then."

After she stripped to just her underwear and top, Jane climbed on the bed and into the covers next to Loki. Pulling the covers over the two of them, Jane snuggled up to Loki's side with her hand over his chest. His armor was still on and it felt soft as ever.

"Rest well, Loki." Jane adjusted herself into a comfortable position against him and closed her eyes.

She got no response since Loki was already asleep, breathing softly and slowly.

Jane smiled and sleep took her as well.

...ooo...

Unbelievable pain like a knife was making Loki's head pang and he groaned with a growl as he turned over on his side.

That was the last he was ever going to drink more than he should. Nothing was worth than the pain he was going through now. It was far worse than how the venom wounds came to be on his back! It was like someone was bashing at his head. Loki let out a hiss as he clenched his teeth, closing his eyes tight.

Something cold touched his head, causing him to flinch. Loki cracked one eye open to see Jane standing over him all dressed for the day. "You were sweating a lot, so here's something to cool you down. Oh, and I have something from my realm to help you with those headaches."

Loki closed his eyes again and turned over, facing away from her but Jane tugged him back.

She adjusted the cloth that was on his head. "Come on, stop being stubborn and take it. They're just pills to swallow."

"Pills?"

"Yes, they dissolve in your stomach and the medicine does all the work."

Now that was interesting to hear.

Seeing that he made no protest, Jane handed him a goblet of water and two pills that were tiny.

"I had someone bring up a basin of water and that goblet. Just fill your mouth up with the water, put the pills in your mouth as well, and then swallow."

Loki tilted his head a little, studying the pills as he processed her instructions. He did as instructed and it was simple. Far simple. "How quick do these take effect?"

"Not as quick as many would like, me included but it'll help." Then she got a wicked gleam in her eye. "Shall I kiss you as well?"

Loki gave her a sly grin and Jane didn't need for him to tell her "yes" since she leaned over and kissed him.

Jane could taste the wine faintly in his mouth and it was very sweet. She kissed him nice and slow, her hand landing on his cheek to touch him. His lips were chapped a little bit but they always lit her on fire.

Even though he had a headache, Loki kissed her passionately and started to get rough. Stupidly, he sat up and he hissed against her lips.

"Careful," Jane said softly as she grabbed the cloth that dropped from his forehead.

"Come here," he said with a devilish grin and he pulled her down as he kissed her.

Jane dropped the cloth on the floor and kissed him back, pushing herself up on the bed and laid her body on top of his. She moaned out his name like a prayer as she panted. Loki moved his lips against her hungrily and roughly, showing that he was losing control.

"May I," asked Loki as he nipped on her lips. Even though he had a headache, he was a God still with magical abilities and healing was one of them.

"Of course," she whispered.

Loki waved his hand so that the curtains would close just as he flipped Jane over, claiming her as his once more.

After they made love three more times, Loki slipped out of bed with his armor shimmering off of him. He had scars of battle all over his back but what shocked Jane the most was a huge gash near his right hip.

Jane didn't gasp but it looked so deep and painful that she couldn't stop herself walking over to him to touch it softly. "What happened? If you don't mind talking about it that is." She continued to study it, tilting her head as to what sort of creature or weapon would create such a thing.

Loki looked over his shoulder, watching her. Jane was actually showing her interest in it and didn't even cry over it. His lips slanted up in amusement. "A nasty beast that I came upon when I reached adulthood. It was a giant cat crossed with a wyvern. They're known for their poison."

"It doesn't seem like a poison wound."

"It managed to take me unawares with its tail. Apparently I got into its territory without asking."

Jane cringed, imagining how huge and sharp the spikes on the tail would be. "Did you get away from it safely?"

"Of course," said Loki as he walked to the tub to step in it.

"Right, teleportation. That must be helpful to have." Jane took off her top since her underwear was already off and was lost. Probably somewhere in the bed sheets, thanks to their love making in the morning.

"It is, though it can take a toll on you if used too much in one day."

Jane headed towards the tub, her eyebrow lifted. "Is that why you kept me waiting those days?"

Loki laughed as he leaned back in the tub, waving his hand to cause some water to become like a tube and splashed her with it. "No, that was to make you beg for me."

Jane slowly wiped her face from the water and glared at Loki. "You are in for it," she threatened playfully as she pointed at him.

He just gave her a wink and that made her join him in the tub, wrestling with him in the water. Loki pulled her leg, causing her to fall and go under water before she came back up with a huge splash that it stung his eyes.

The two of them laughed as they played around in the bath.

When they were done playing around and bathing themselves, they stepped out of the bath. Two towels floated over to them and wrapped around their bodies. Just as the robes started to come out, Loki put them back on the rack.

"I remember taking a bath the day I first came here. It was amazing."

Loki smiled as he walked to the fireplace and replaced the wood with a touch of his hand on the side.

"You made it, didn't you," asked Jane.

"Yes, I did and it only reacts to my magic, of course." Loki took off the towel, letting it float back to the bath area. His armor appeared on him once more and it wasn't wrinkly just like before.

Jane was curious but didn't say anything about it. She took off her towel, not paying mind to how it floated back to the rack, and started to change into the clothes she brought up earlier that was neatly folded in her bag.

Loki looked over her, enjoying the way Midgardian clothes showed her figure just enough.

"Come, I'm sure we have more work to do in time for the coronation and the marriage ceremony."

Jane's stomach growled, causing her to laugh before crossing her arms over it.

"Or...," he said as he gave her an amused look. "Get something to eat."

"I vote for the latter."

"Done," Loki announced with a grin and the two teleported out of the room.

After they ate and the afternoon passed once again with last preparations, Loki decided to bring Jane to the top part of the castle.

The view was incredible to Jane and she couldn't help but stare in awe. The bridge was ahead of her with the beautiful sky of many colors, waves tumbling upon the beach up. Jane looked around, seeing all of the other beauty of the realm of the buildings and landscape as Loki walked up behind her.

"See that tall mountain over there," he whispered in her ear as his arms went around her waist to pull her against him.

"Yeah." Jane was having trouble breathing now. He always had that affect on her when he held her like this and whispered in her ear.

"That's the far north I was talking about. We could go there when we have enough time."

He had remembered she wanted to see a stalg! Jane turned around in his arms and embraced him, showing her happiness and excitement of going there.

"Though if we manage to not see one-"

"It'll be great either way!" Jane held him tighter, giving him a kiss on the cheek.

He kept amazing her with his kindness and she felt unbelievable spoiled to have him as hers.

...ooo...

"Where's Jane," asked Darcy. "I was thinking on what song we could-"

"Darcy," warned Erik.

"Right, got it. I'm getting too excited and carried away."

"You must compose yourself."

"How can I? I'm going to be surrounded with men in armor – armor! - and I want her to have fun too."

"She will be having fun," said a woman's voice. It was Sif who had came into the dining hall, looking beautiful as always.

"Oh, oh, do you guys have any special dancing here? Like a waltz?"

Sif looked at her confused. "I have on idea what a...waltz is, but we do dance here. Traditionally, we dance before eating."

"Awesome, I don't have to worry about getting my dress ruined on accident."

"Yes but...we have no idea how you dance up here," piped up Erik.

"It's...sort of...come here Darcy."

Darcy did as she was told and let Sif guide her.

"Ah, so it is like a waltz but without fancy turning or positions. This is going to be so great! Oh, I need to look for a partner."

Sif smiled, knowing exactly how to fix that problem.

...ooo...

"We should head down," said Jane as she felt Loki graze her skin with hot fingers. She gasped out and leaned back against him.

"Yes but we're not going to." He nibbled on the back of her neck, tickling her with his bites and breath against her skin.

"Loki," gasped out Jane as she felt him press against her. "No...not here. I can't while standing up."

"Lay down then," he said as he bit down on her earlobe, causing her to shiver.

"No, I'm not going to have my back sore again," Jane said sternly. "If anyone is to lay down, it will be you."

He stopped touching her completely for a few seconds before letting out a dark chuckle. Jane didn't like that sound of that...

"Very well."

Jane really didn't like the tone of his voice and knew she was going to be in trouble later on.

"Just be ready for tonight, darling."

Yup, she was in for it and she couldn't help but look forward to it – as crazy as that sounded. Loki never used that term of endearment unless he was going to make her suffer and squirm in ecstasy.

As they headed back down of the castle, Jane was stopped by Darcy who found her in the hallway. "Jane, there you are! We need to see if the things that we changed is up to your liking now and – come on, please? The staff are going crazy!"

"Okay, I'm coming."

Loki grasped her hand as Jane took a step away and tugged her back to his side, causing her to look at him in confusion. Something shimmered in her hands and Jane gazed down at in wonder when Loki pulled his hand away.

It was a small ice sculpture, but she had no idea what it was.

"What is-"

Loki leaned to her ear and whispered to her what it was.

Jane's eyes widened and looked at him when he pulled away with a sly grin.

"Until tonight, dear Jane," he said in the very voice that made her turn to jelly and disappeared.

Darcy came up behind her and peered down at Jane's hand. "What'd he give you?"

Jane calmed herself down, especially her heart since that voice always caused it to go wild. "Uh...it's...remember where I told you where he and I would meet?"

"Yeah?"

"That's what it is. See, the ocean is here and the cliffs are here and that little hole is where the moon is."

"Wow," said Darcy in awe. "The craftsmanship is incredible. Who knew that he would be a romantic, huh? Oh, right, come on Jane, let's hurry!"

Jane just laughed and nodded, following Darcy carefully so not to let it fall. As she walked in, many of the servants went to her asking her if this was okay or that and Jane took in stride since she was used to people asking questions about the Foster Theory.

When all of it was done, she and Darcy sat down in two comfy chairs.

"So glad that's over." Darcy sounded tired as she propped up her feet on a poof that was near her chair. "I don't know how you kept up with it."

"It was easy."

"Yeah, sure. So, are you gonna put that in his room?"

"I guess since I never really got a room for me and I practically live there now anyway."

"I love the room I have. So huge and the bath is amazing. I felt like a princess."

Jane laughed but didn't bring up Loki's bathroom and how he created his own with magic.

"So, are you nervous?"

"Not really," said Jane as she ran her fingers over the ice sculpture, noticing how it didn't melt but it made sense that it didn't.

"Not even a little bit?"

"Well there is the idea of being Queen and I know what you're going to say, Darcy. I'm going to be Loki's wife because I love him."

"I know you do," Darcy said seriously. "I just...you know, like to make a joke everywhere. You used to be so serious since you were focused a lot on your theory. I understand though since that's what your goal was."

Jane's eyebrows went up in surprise. It was rare to hear such wise words from Darcy.

"So, why don't you get on out of here and go to your man, okay? That's what I would be doing."

Jane did just that, leaving a laughing Darcy behind.

"They grow up so fast," joked Darcy to herself before pulling up her laptop on her lap. She still had a paper to write and the internet actually worked here.

...ooo...

Jane headed up to Loki's – her and Loki's room to put the sculpture on the side table near the bed. After it looked good to her, Jane walked out of the room and started to look for Loki.

She eventually found him outside, sparing with Thor.

Frigga came up behind her and put a hand on her shoulder, giving Jane a smile as she watched her sons. "It's great to see them like this, is it not?"

Jane watched Loki use his fire as a whip to push back Thor before throwing daggers at his brother. "Yes," she replied with a smile.

She continued to watch Thor and Loki spar with Frigga at her side until the two brothers got tired.

"Good fight, brother," said an exhausted Thor with some wounds on his hands and face.

Loki was panting lighter than Thor and had some cuts on his face as well. When he caught sight of Jane, he smirked. Jane shivered a little bit before composing herself.

"Come, dinner is ready," announced Frigga as she turned to lead them to the dining hall. Thor walked alongside Frigga and Loki was beside Jane.

"I didn't know you could do that with your fire," whispered Jane.

Loki snickered. "There's a lot you don't know that I can do."

As they rounded a corner, Loki pushed her back to the hall they came from and pushed her against the wall. He leaned down and kissed her, pinning her body with his own as he ravished her with his mouth.

Jane grabbed his arms and tried to push him off. When that didn't help, she bit down on his chin hard – surprising Loki with her aggressive action. She managed to push him off now and escaped his hold.

Loki managed to notice her little smile and hear her soft giggle as she got away from him.

It caused him to want her more and felt his body ache. He gazed at her back with a scorching look in his eyes.

When Loki caught up to them in the dining room, Loki and Jane sat beside each other across from Thor and Sif. The Warriors Three were sitting near Thor and Sif.

"Tomorrow will be a wonderful day in Asgard history," boomed Thor as he brought up his goblet.

"I don't see how you're still standing up, brother, after all of that wine you drank last night."

Thor chuckled. "Unlike you, brother, I can hold my alcohol."

"That isn't something to be proud of," said Loki as he sneaked a hand on Jane's thigh. Jane tensed as she was about to take a bite out of her chicken. She could feel her cheeks becoming hot at his touch.

"Bah, just because I can do something that you can't doesn't mean it's not something to be proud of," replied Thor as he swallowed the wine from his goblet all at once.

"That's where you're wrong, brother." Loki pulled away his hand from her thigh and Jane was thankful that he did so that she could eat properly. "Holding your alcohol means that you drank some while mother and father weren't looking – or the caretaker might I add – and kept doing so despite being caught. You would become sick for days and blamed it all on the food."

Jane couldn't help but laugh with the others when Loki finished talking.

Even Thor was laughing. "Do not remind me of that day. I was so scared mother would find out."

"Which I did," said Frigga after wiping her mouth with a cloth.

They laughed again and the entire dinner was filled with more stories until Loki decided to leave. Jane followed him after saying goodbye to Darcy who had been chatting with one of The Warrior's Three and Erik who was in the middle of conversing with Odin and Frigga.

Loki waited until the doors were closed as they walked out of the dining hall to teleport them to his room. The round fireplace in the middle roared to life with blue flames.

Jane found herself being stripped so quickly that he managed to burn off one of her clothes in impatience. She soon found herself picked up in his arms and put down on the bed non-too-gently but she didn't mind. Not at all. Loki crawled over her with his armor shattering away until he was completely naked as she was.

He was breathtaking as he willingly showed his entire being to her. He trusted her completely and loved her dearly that she couldn't help her excitement and pulled him down, kissing him anxiously.

Loki responded against her hips and grabbed her wrists, pushing them up above her head.

Jane wiggled underneath him, causing him to hiss since it brushed against his lower region, causing unspeakable waves of pleasure. "Come on," she tempted.

"Great things happen to those who wait," he said with a wicked smile and he did just that.

He made her squirm by teasing her with his tongue and hands, touching her in ways he hadn't done before that made her moan sweetly and loudly.

Jane had begged him to go faster and harder but he made her wait, just like she did to him, and it caused her to go crazy underneath him.

When she came, she let out the most wanton voice that Jane was sure others must have heard and she felt extremely embarrassed. Jane covered her eyes. "I cannot...that...that came out of me?"

"It surely didn't come out of me," teased Loki as he gave her a nip on her earlobe.

"I hope no one didn't hear me because...I think I'd..."

"They would know that I am pleasuring you quite well."

A pillow met Loki's face, causing him to shake with laughter as he hovered over her. He bent down to bite on her neck and suck on the skin there. Jane felt him tickling her sides, digging into her that she started to squirm beneath him with laughter.

"Loki!" Jane twisted, trying to get away from his offending fingers. "That hurts!"

"Which?" Loki continued to suck and biting her neck.

"Both!" She couldn't stop laughing despite being angry at him. "Stop please!"

He finally pulled away with a sly grin and was met with another smack in the face with a pillow. "I've stopped as requested, fair lady."

"You're horrible," she said while laughing and turned over to hug herself.

Loki leaned over her, causing his chest to press against her back, and wrapped his arms around her. He kissed her shoulder as if to apologize and rubbed his hands up her body to soothe her.

"That hurt you know," Jane finally said in an angry tone.

"My apologies," Loki replied softly. "Shall we sleep now?"

"Only if you keep your hands to yourself. Mouth too!" Jane was teasing him, surprising him how quick she forgave him.

"I'm afraid that will be impossible since you brush up against me during the night."

"Don't think I didn't feel you squeezing my butt last night, so don't put all the blame on me," replied Jane as she adjusted herself in a comfortable position to sleep in.

Loki pulled one of his arms away as he too shifted on the bed, facing her on his side. "Then let us sleep."

"So you say." Jane snuggled into the pillow as Loki pulled up the covers over them, trailing his fingers up her back.

He leaned down to give her a good night kiss on the cheek, pushing the locks of hair that blocked some of her face from his view.

Jane smiled and closed her eyes and Loki did the same as he moved closer to her, putting an arm around her.

...ooo...

Morning came quick and it was the day Asgard would never forget. Two brothers would be crowned in joint rulership along with a joint wedding ceremony.

The castle was buzzing with activity with decorations being up, crest banners being finished to hang in the huge hall that would witness the grand event. Jane, Sif, and Darcy were in one room together with Frigga getting ready while Loki was in the other with his father and brother along with The Warriors Three.

Guards stood in the entrance and in the ceremony hall in their best armor, keeping watch of the people. Soon, the entire hall was filled with the people of Asgard young and old. The guards near the door closed it by inserting their staffs in the ground and twisted them clockwise.

In the room of the ladies, a servant came in. "Everything is ready, your majesty," bowed the servant.

"Thank you," nodded Frigga. As the servant stood up and left, Frigga held onto Sif's and Jane's hands. With a smile, she let go of their hands and exited the room.

Darcy gave Jane a tight hug before following after Frigga. They met up with The Warriors Three, Erik, and Odin.

As they came to the door, Frigga looped her arms around Odin's arm as they smiled at each other. When the door opened, the King and Queen walked down the marble area isle to pass the row of guards and up the stairs. Frigga stood near the steps as before at the top as Odin went to sit down on the throne one last time.

The Warriors Three came along with Erik and Darcy behind them. Darcy and Erik stayed near the bottom of the stairway as the doors shut again.

Loki, Thor, Sif, and Jane headed out next when they were told they were ready to fly.

"Well, here we go again, brother," said Loki in complete armor with his long hair splaying out from his helmet.

Thor already had on his feathered helmet with Mjolnir in his hands. "Yeah..."

Loki chuckled. "Nervous?"

That caused Thor to laugh and clap his brother's shoulder for the billionth time. "Now that sounds oddly familiar."

"You are nervous. No harm in admitting it."

"Hahaha. What of you, brother? Nervous?"

Loki shook his head, causing Thor to chuckle.

"What a lie," as he shook his brother a little bit. "This is going to be great, brother. You, me, and our wives, ruling Asgard. I never would have guessed that this would happen and you were willing to give up the throne for Jane."

Loki nodded slightly as he looked around. He did and he had meant it.

Sif and Jane finally arrived, taking their place beside the two brothers. Jane was on Loki's right while Sif was on Thor's left.

"Ready, my love," asked Thor as he put a comforting hand on Sif's back.

"Of course," smiled Sif.

Loki looked down at Jane, who was fidgeting with her wrap. "Relax," he whispered in her ear as he put an arm around her waist.

"A kiss will help," whispered back Jane.

With a chuckle, Loki leaned down to do so, giving her a long kiss and pulled away just in time when the door started to open slowly. "Did that help?"

"Very," Jane said in a breathless voice.

Loki grinned as he laughed softly once more, offering his arm to her. Jane looped her arm around his and together with Thor and Sif, they walked out.

Music played that was far more beautiful than the one played when she was gifted immortality. The people were clapping as they walked together in unison passed the guards and all the way down the isle.

Darcy was there standing beside Erik clapping her hands and shouting out. Erik was clapping his hands with a huge smile on his face.

Jane smiled at them as they got closer and before she and the entire room knew it, it was time.

As they stopped, Frigga came down to the second step of the stairs to stand in front of her two sons, smiling down at them.

The entire room was quiet as Frigga outstretched her arms. "Today, Asgard will witness a joint marriage of my two sons, Thor and Loki Odinson, Princes of Asgard. They will also be crowned together in joint rulership as both Kings of Asgard."

Jane tightened her arm on Loki's, getting nervous again. Loki nudged her just slightly enough to gain her attention and sent her a silent message that said "You'll be fine. I'll be there every step you take." Jane smiled at him before they both looked ahead.

"With these rings, Thor and Loki, put them on your betrothed's finger."

The two brothers took the rings designed specifically for their soon-to-be-wives and slipped the rings on the ring finger.

Sif's ring held garnet and topaz joined together with diamonds outlining the gems in fours on each side. The color of the rest of the ring was golden with intricate designs that Mjolnir had.

Jane's ring held a medium sized dark jade gem in a shape of a square with a polished round jet gem placed in the center of it. Instead of a golden band like Sif's, hers was completely made out of dark onyx with specks of red and yellow inside it

"This is beautiful," whispered Jane with a smile as she tested it in the light, causing Loki to shake slightly with laughter as he smiled down at her.

Sif didn't say anything but her expression showed her happiness and Thor was smiling as well.

"Now, my sons, please touch your betrothed's ring," ordered Frigga with a smile.

Thor and Loki did so, causing the rings to glow.

Sif's ring glowed with white light with sparks flying out. Jane's was glowing with blue and green colors with a hint of smoke.

The magic from the rings shot upward, going through the castle's roof and into the sky as if to be judged by the passed Gods.

With a sudden surge of power, the rings coughed out magic with sparks of golden light to land upon Thor's and Loki's ring finger.

The magic swirled around their finger to create the band and then created a groove in the band ring as the main gem from the rings shimmered to existence. Thor's was dark garnet while Loki's was the dark jade. One last grove appeared from the top of the gem and down to create a balanced look and allow the gem to rest easier in the ring.

Frigga sent out her own magic for it to land on the rings, giving the last requirement it needed for it to be complete.

Her own magic was her acceptance of the marriage of her two sons.

The rings started to grow hot as the rings' center gems started to glow until the entire rings glowed for a few seconds until it died down. The bands now had a silver line in the middle, symbolizing that they were wed.

Those in the crowd cheered as Frigga stepped aside, bowing her head slightly to her now married sons. Thor and Loki exchanged smiles with their brides.

Odin stood up from his throne now, slamming his staff down to silence the hall. "Now that my sons have married the ones they have chosen worthy, the coronation will begin."

Thor and Loki kneeled as they took off their helmet. Sif and Jane kneeled down to both of their knees.

"Thor and Loki, my sons, you have both proven yourselves worthy the past month. You two have learned what really means to be a King to rule and keep the people safe with a firm but fair hand."

Jane squeezed Loki's hand as he felt his hand to shake a little. As they did so, the rings upon their hand offered a relaxing warmth.

"Sif and Jane Foster, you will rule together along with my two sons. You two have also proven yourselves to be worthy to be their Queens."

Frigga smiled as Odin started the required questions. "Do you swear to guard the nine realms?"

"I swear," they said together.

"And do you swear to preserve the peace?"

"I swear."

"Do you swear to cast aside your selfish ambition and pledge yourself only to the good of the realms?"

"I swear." Thor looked over to his brother with a smile and Loki did the same, giving a wink.

"And on this day, I Odin, AllFather, proclaim you Kings and Queens of Asgard in joint rulership!"

The crowd erupted into cheers and shouts with the music playing as the four stood up and stepped up the stairs with Thor's and Loki's helmets back on. Frigga hugged her two sons and then Sif and Jane, giving Jane's shoulder a squeeze, before stepping down the stairs off to the side at the bottom opposite of where Darcy and Erik stood.

Odin put a hand on Loki's shoulder, squeezing it as he handed Loki the staff. Loki's eyes widened and before he could say anything, Odin interrupted him. "You and Thor were born Kings. You will be great Kings." Odin walked away nodding at Thor and joined Frigga down below, the two smiling.

"Let us celebrate!" Thor boomed as he lifted up Mjolnir, causing the music to go immediately into a dancing tune.

Jane laughed, watching Darcy dancing and laughing with the blonde warrior. The entire hall was in chaos as they celebrated. "Come on, let's go dance," she suggested in excitement, wanting to join in the fun.

"Very well," chuckled Loki as he set the staff down horizontally on the throne behind them and went down to dance with his queen.

His wife.

His love, Jane Foster Odinson.
