Soon once they both quiet down and stare at the tv. A news reporter came out ready to report the breaking news at the scene of where one of the dark elves must have attacked.
"Good evening, I'm happy to report that the alien invasion is now officially over due to no more sightings of these unknown beings." Said the reporter. Which gotten both of them happily watched.
"Great! Now this is awesome!" Said Darcy happily and excitedly "I just can't believe that I helped stoped a dark elf invasion!" Which Darcy's excitement about her contribution gotten Loki annoyed.
"Come on it's just a invasion it's not like that you actually stopped it."Said Loki annoyed.
"I know but it's still cool to see what I did on the news." Said Darcy returning the annoyed tone "and now shh! I want to hear the next part." Which they both turned their attention back to the tv.
"That's right the one and only asgardian avenger Thor saved London from what could have been a major catastrophe." Continued the reporter but stoped for a moment before continuing but then continued "and along with that our mighty Avenger might have some help from a mysterious hero." Which that captures both of their attentions immediately and surprised them both.
"What?!" Said Darcy in shocked at the tv. While Loki was a little nervous since the last thing he want is to be seen by anyone from the Avengers team,Jane or Thor in less than a day. Plus now he's starting to blame and get angry at himself for not turning invisible while he was out. But soon one of Loki's worse fears came true when the reporter continued.
"That's right folks, a mysterious stranger helped Thor in saving a couple of lives that could have been lost today." said the reporter "don't believe me here's some footage of the stranger fighting the alien being." Then the next thing both of them knew was that they're watching the footage that the reporter filmed and to Loki's relief you could barely see who's fighting the Dark elves except Darcy.
"That was you isn't it?" Asked Darcy surprised and unsure at her new roommate "You helped those people didn't you?!"
"It appears so." said Loki grumpily "and I'm starting to really hate these phone devices." But before any of them could continue the news kept going and continue on with the news story.
"Thanks to this hero he not mange to rid the world of more of these beings and he just saved a whole residential area from being attacked." Said the reporter "I'm now here with the Evens family that it appears that this hero also saved from the invasion." Which then the cameras pulled to the family Loki had saved in a hour ago all alive and well. Which Loki was relief that his unintentional darring atempts as a hero wasn't for nothing and a excuse for him to risk his life for nothing.
"So tell me about how this man might have found you guys and did you see what he might have looked like?" asked the reporter putting his mic in front of the family.
"We didn't have a chance to see what he might have looked like due to the smoke." explained mrs Evens "and by the time we were able to all get safely out he was gone. I have no idea on how he knew that we were in there-" Before Mrs Evens continued, her daughter interrupted her and took over the interview.
"He's really nice! I told him!" said Casey excitedly "I saw him! He has a nice green suit and long black hair! Yeah and he saved me from those things and said he would love to rescue my family." As Casey was rambling on how Loki saved her,kindness and his apearence. Loki silently hoped that no one especially Thor put two and two together and figure out it was him then he's going to start regretting ever saving that girl in the first place.
"Really you would love to save her family?" Asked Darcy in a surprised, skeptical and moking tone in her voice.
"I never said that specificly." said Loki hastily "I believe that girl is just exaggerating." which they continued to watch and hear Casey's wild explanation until she herself got interrupted by her mom.
"That's enough Casey." said her mom playfully and paitently "We don't want to embarase your new found friend." speak for yourself thought Loki sarcastically but a little grateful for a little recognition and gratefulness of the family he saved.
"We're almost out of time." said the reporter "Is there anything else you would like to say before we go?" But before anyone could say anything, Casey took the lead again.
"Yes I do." said Casey "Hi out there! Thank you!" which then Mr Evens decided to follow his daughter's lead.
"I do as well." said Mr Evens "If you're watching, I would like to thank you for the bravery you shown here today and saving me. But most importantly my family and I hope that we will meet someday so I can tell you person." With that the reporter wrapped it up and Darcy turned off the tv in disbelief. Then stare at Loki in total disbelief, which got Loki nervous on how she would react to this and what would Darcy say.
"Loki what you did was awesome!" Said Darcy excitedly and happily.
"No it's not." said Loki sternly "That is a foolish choice I made. I could have done more harm than good and accidentally endanger myself." which his response shoked Darcy.
"But Loki you're a hero." said Darcy pointing out the facts "You saw those people on tv, they're-"
"No I'm not." argued Loki "I'm just a man who wanted to mess with some dark elves and was actually going out for a walk." Then Loki hastily explained what he was doing outside,how he met the family and what led him to rescue tons of people.
"You see I'm not a hero." Confessed Loki "I'm just someone who just wanted to do something for myself not help others and all that foolish views my brother views in."
"But Loki that won't change the fact that you're a hero." Said Darcy "Don't be ashame of it. intentionally or unintentionally you still did a wonderful thing and saved many people's lives. Once people figure it out that it was you they'll probably forgive you." Which is the last thing Loki wanted more unwanted popularity and an angry Thor ready to send him across relms for this.
"Look Darcy there's no way I'm going to be a hero." said Loki "Thor probably told everyone here that I'm dead already and I'm not the type to do something like this without having some benefit. So you might as well do what you Midgardians say you do. Just get it out of your head." Which afterwards Loki decided to get something from the fridge edible or not he wants to have something he could think this day over and Darcy turned the tv back on and try to see if the news is on in other stations to see if there's many more reports of Loki's heroism now she knows that he's really changed and with a little push/help he'll want to do good things rather than evil. She's going to give him that push and help Loki realize that he can be a hero or it's the last thing that she do.
Meanwhile in Asgard
Thor just came back in order to deliver the aither,the news of his victory and Loki's "death" and for some reason he wants to talk to his father about all this. Since they both lost half of their family in less than a week thanks to the dark elves. Once he arived he went straight to the throne room and already figured that maybe it would be best to start with the good news before transitioning to the bad news.
"Um... hello father." said Thor trying to hide nervous attitude on how he can tell Odin all what happened in a straight face.
"Thor I thought you would be celebrating with your friends on either Midgard or Asgard or find time for both due to your victory." said Odin capturing Thor's surprise. But before Thor could ask Odin how he knew he answered "I have Heimdall to watch the battle on earth and report me on the results."
"Well then I also have more news to tell you. But it might not be that cheerful to you since it's to me." said Thor sombarly and looked down while he said the sentence and fact that he knows that he'll forever dread "Loki is dead and I would like to go back to the dark world to retrieve his body." But something out of Odin's answer surprised Thor.
"I know since a guard came to me and told me that he died." Explained Odin "and he took the liberty of burring his body and had a private funeral for us." Which Thor began to have immediate anger at himself because he failed his brother again and didn't even watch him to get laid to rest and now can't keep his promise that he made to his brother now. Plus truly felt like he abandoned him and guilty about it.
"Now I know that I'd never be a good enough king." said Thor trying to change the subject and hide his true emotions "If I can barely keep a promise to a dead Loki how am I going to look out and keep promises to an entire relm and protect it and many others while I do it?" For dome reason Odin feels like being king has nothing to do with this and the reason for this conversation was for Loki not the throne. But to make Thor feel better he feels like that he should play along for his son.
"Well I believe that you would make a great king. Loki would have agreed if he hadn't gone through that tyrannical phase and if he saved both of your lives and still alive today." said Odin reasuringly and then turned confudent with his response as he continued "You once said there would never be a wiser King than me. You were wrong. The alignment has brought all the realms together. Every one of them saw you offer your life to save them. What can Asgard offer its new King in return?" Which Thor knew at the moment he wants to live in Earth for a while since he needs some time for himself after this and don't think that he wants to rule Asgard at least for now.
"My life. Father, I cannot be King of Asgard. I will protect Asgard and all the realms with my last and every breath, but I cannot do so from that chair. Loki for all his grave imbalance understood rule as I know I never will. The brutality, the sacrifice, it changes you. I'd rather be a good man than a great King." said Thor "and even though I saved all of 9 relms I still feel like I'm not ready and I would like to spend some time with my friends from Earth and sometimes visit Asgard to visit you and my friends here for a little while before even considering to take the throne." Silenty hoping that would convince his father to give him some time before becoming officially king of Asgard. Which Odin understands the hard time Thor must be going through and is willing to let him live on Midgard/Earth for a little while.
"One son who wanted the throne too much, another who will not take it. Is this my legacy?" said Odin surprise at how crazy his family has turned ever since the first corenation. While Thor is ready to stand up for what he believe in since he needs to make sure that what Loki did and die for wasn't forgotten or go in vain.
"Loki died with honor, I shall try to live the same. Is that not legacy enough?" demanded Thor. But to Thor's surprise his father began to nod in agreement.
"Yeah your right Thor." said Odin "I believe that it might be best for you if you go and live with these mortals since Asgard can't have some sort of sentimental emotional king ruling over it and it might be best after this that you have some time for yourself and you can come back when ever you feel like it after you get over this grief of yours and come back strong and emotionless as the king your expected to be." Which the only part of Odin's answer he's happy for is when the part that he can go back to Earth came up.
"Thank you father." said Thor gratefully and even went as far as to hand over his hammer to Odin.
"No you keep it." said Odin "Since I have a feeling that you might need it. So good luck"
"thank you and good bye father."said Thor with that he left the throne room and was on his way back to Earth .But except made a small detour to see Loki's room before the incident with the Avengers since no one dared touched his room once he fell from the Bifrost in order to honor his memory and Thor is now hoping that they would do the same for Loki this time around. Once he's finished going down memory lane saying goodbye to his friends ,Thor went to the Bifrost and addressed Heimdall and told him that he's ready to go back to earth, then Heimdall opened it and out Thor left. If only I can tell him what I saw about his brother thought Heimdall gloomy and uncertain. But he'll never believe me. Perhaps it would be best to see how Loki will use this second opportunity in life and sees where it leads.
