Eriss soon wakened, and Tony noticed she had bright green eyes, like a field of healthy green grass. Her little thick bundle of chocolate brown locks matched Tony's hair. Eriss found the eyes of her new father and squirmed in delight. Pepper gasped as the baby instantly disappeared, but she still had her arms around where Eriss should have been.

"Don't move, Pepper." Tony suggested. She stood still, but not because of Tony's suggestion. It seemed that Pepper completely ignored it in her own right.

She laughed lightly. "Tony, she's right here."

Tony raised his eyebrow as he witnessed Eriss reappearing right in Pepper's arms.

"Why did she disappear when she looked at me? Am I scary?" Tony asked confusingly.

"Are you really that clueless?" Pepper smirked.

"What?"

"She was happy to see you." She replied.

"She got happy, so she turned invisible?" Tony was lost.

"Babies don't have a lot of control over what they do." Pepper inquired.

"Yes but this baby has powers that we don't know yet. If she gets happy to use her invisibility, how will we ever find her?" Tony chuckled.

"Maybe you should ask Thor about this. He is probably the only person that's not from here that might have an insight." She suggested.

"Don't forget about Rock of Ages."

"Would you rather ask him?" She shot back.

"He pushed me out of my own tower, I don't think the hostility between us will help with a civil conversation." Tony said, shuddering at the memory of Loki pushing him down out of Stark Tower before being saved by his own suit.

"He might have answers."

"Um, Pep? Do you have any idea who you're actually talking about? This is Thor's younger adopted brother with a grudge against him that led to the destruction of New York City. I don't think going to him for help will look civil." Tony explained. He surely wasn't going to Loki after all that happened. He wanted to avoid it. "And plus I don't want her finding out her who the hell this guy is so she won't come looking for him when she gets older."

Pepper laughed. "How on earth are you going to make a Norse god from our own mythology disappear from her grasp?"

"Take away books," Tony suggested dryly. "I don't see it as much of a problem considering he'll be locked up longer than either of our lifespans put together."

"You'll never know. Thor is leaving very soon." Pepper added.

"As much as I love Point Break and Reindeer Games, I seriously need to take a break from all this crazy." Tony sighed and exhaustedly covered his face with his hands.

She walked over to where Tony was, wanting to hand her to him. He took out his hands realizing Pepper's presence nearing and out of instinct, he took one step back, startled from what Pepper was doing. Pepper continued to walk toward him and Tony continued to walk back until he reached the window sill.

"I-I don't-"

"Don't worry." Pepper said reassuringly. The sound of her voice was comforting, and Tony carefully and nervously held Eriss in his arms. He tensed up a bit since he never truly held an infant. This was different. He noticed the weight on his shoulders that was now placed on him; he wasn't so sure if he was ready to hold responsibility of an orphaned infant. He wasn't ready to be a father, but he had no choice. It also worried him that on top of Eriss being an orphan with no explanation of her real parents, she wasn't just ordinary. She was growing fast despite of him not actually seeing the constant change. Why was she growing so quickly?

Tony felt something hard on the back and then placed her on the nearby diaper changing station. He unwrapped the pink fuzzy blanket and saw something reflecting the light on Eriss's back. He took the little velvet pouch and looked at Pepper. She was shocked that she didn't feel it but she ushered Tony to open it. He untangled the string and slipped out what was inside. It was a silver heart shaped locket with exquisite detail, far more crafty than Tony had ever seen. He noted that it was welded by hand, not by machine and someone took the time to create it. He popped it open and there was nothing inside but a carving entitled:

DARGAS

Was it a person? A place? A location? Tony thought of the possibilities and came to the belief that it might be someone that had a connection with this child. Pepper observed it closely before giving it back to Tony. He placed it back into its velvet bag and put the bag in his pocket.

"Are you going to stay here?" Tony asked.

Pepper nodded. "Not for too long, I know Dr. Banner will come later for her."

"Okay, I'm going to find Point Break see if he knows anything about this." Tony said, patting his pocket where the locket was.

Thor had left the eye of the SHIELD agents to find his brother, who's location was unknown to him on purpose. Fury didn't want the god to have any methods of communication with brother, not for the god himself but for Loki.

He has not said a word since he took on Tony's offer on a drink. There was no reason for him to speak now that he was to hear the All-Father's wrath on his actions. His bodily pain still lingered when the Hulk completely annihilated his body to the ground.

Thor soon found the room after many twists and turns of hallways. It was an enormous room of four cells. They were pretty big in size, two on one side and two on the other. The infamous glass panel that separated the incarcerated and people outside of it. He carefully walked forward, putting Mjolnir strapped on the side of his belt before finding the glass cell that held his brother in place.

There was a single bed with pale white sheets and a blanket that were left untouched. Beneath all the metal and leather of his clothes, he wore a simple emerald green shirt along with his leather pants. His other garments were placed on a table nearby. He simply laid on his bed, legs crossed on the foot of it, and his hands resting behind his head.

"You should not have come." Loki said without looking at at Thor.
