It had been a few days, a few days where Thor had not seen Lokis face. He knew though that his treacherous brother weren't ever far away.
Fury, Strange and Banner sure did their best to comb the area, but the fact that Loki could create any illusion and change shape on a whim probably didn't help them a lot, finally they had other things to return to.
"Consider this my warning." Fury eyed Thor. "If anything happens, that involve a god of mischief hurting people on earth."
"Oh I'm sure that wont be an issue." Thor smirked.
"How so?" Doctor Strange asked.
"Because if something like that was to happen, I would be the one to hunt him down, grab him by his throat, and put him somewhere he wouldn't like. Some far of hot planet where only slugs live or similar." Thor smiled.
Fury looked at Thor for a while. "Fine by me." he stated and finally they all left.
It took a few hours, Thor was merely inside his own house doing push ups, and even more push ups as what looked like a teenage girl with red hair walked in groaning loudly.
"I thought they were never going to leave!" She exclaimed as she plummeted down on Thors couch.
"Oh hey Loki, you're still here?" Thor asked still casually making push ups.
"Okay you had your fun, haha." The girl muttered annoyed resting her round freckled face on her hand in a sour manner.
"Loki, you're still a woman." Thor pointed out.
"Well sorry." Finally Loki turned back to his true slender male figure. "I haven't been able to look like myself for three days!" he held up three fingers.
"Oh come now, surely the big green ogre doesn't scare you that much?" Thor asked. "Beside, you could have taken a walk. Enjoyed the scenery, gone to a big city. I hear Paris is lovely this time of year."
"And leave the Asgardians in your sweaty hands?" Loki asked. "I don't think so."
"Oh come now, I am working on it." Thor stated as true enough, he was still making push ups.
"Work harder." Loki asked putting his feet on Thors back as if he was a foot rest.
"Brother." Thor huffed. "I may be considerable out of shape… I can still snap your neck if the situation requires it."
"Have to catch me first, like those other guys." Loki stated casually reaching for the bowl with fruits on the table, picking up a red apple taking a bite without moving his feet. "Pfff, grand master of the mystics. Can you believe that guy?" he asked. "Second rate sorcerer."
"If he is a second rate sorcerer, why were you afraid of him?" Thor asked.
"He had a Hulk with him!" Loki huffed. "As I recall, even you lost to that guy!"
"No I didn't! I was winning! The Grand master cheated!" Thor exclaimed.
"Well, if you were to face him now. You would loose." Loki pointed out, then he halted, and a smirk graced his face. Clearly he was imagining what would happen and found it extremely funny.
"How come I am feeling like our relationship is starting to regress?" Thor asked finally standing up forcing Lokis feet off him. "Half the time I can't even tell if you're serious or not."
"Good, you're learning." Loki smirked leaning back, taking another bite of his apple. Really making a good show out of being as annoying as possible, it was what he did best after all.
Thor looked at him then exhaled. "God of mischief will be god of mischief." he concluded as he walked to the table where a towel was and dried off his face.
"Now… To get off this mud ball of a planet." Loki stated.
"Loki, be kind. The humans are being very generous allowing us to stay here." Thor sighed deeply.
Loki rolled his eyes.
"I know you don't care for humans." Thor began. "I know you don't view them as being worthy of us. After all this time, you are still looking down on them. How-ever, for as long as we are here, you are going to behave." he stated. "There is more than just your freedom at stake! If you do something, all Asgardians could be the ones ending up paying."
Loki pouted. "I am aware of that!" he stated. "That's why I am talking about how to get off this thing!"
"I'm listening." Thor stated.
Loki sighed. "We need someone to go out there… To scout for a new home." he stated. "I think we both know who it needs to be."
Thor turned to Loki and he lowered his head. "Yes, it is quite obvious isn't it?"
"It is indeed." Loki nodded. "I know how to handle myself out there, I traveled the universe before. Further more I am the one who fits the least in on this planet."
"What?" Thor asked. "Loki what are you saying, you are needed here to prepare for when the travel when the people needs to go! I how-ever am useless here, you saw that. How-ever, I to traveled the universe as well. I am fit to do it."
"A king can't just go gallivanting around the place!" Loki exclaimed. "The people will need their protector."
"Well I am hardly any king am I?" Thor asked, the two quieted then Loki groaned holding his forehead.
"You're as bullheaded as ever." Loki stated then exhaled. "I'll go check on the Asgardians." he muttered. "Haven't been able to talk to any of them using my real face for three days." he muttered walking out.
