Chapter 7

TPOV


Natasha got Sif to apologize to Loki, even though it wasn't the best of sorries. Loki accepted it but stuck near the rest of the Avengers. He wouldn't even go near the warriors three. Which confused the warriors, they knew they were mean to him when they were younger but surly he could forgive them now.

Loki walked into the kitchen to see the three warriors sitting at the table. He bit his lip and was about to make a run for it when Volstagg picked him up and sat him down at the table.

He frowned at the little trickster. "Loki, are you angry at us?" he asked.

"No, why?" Loki asked, curious.

"Because you always run away from us and won't go near us at all."

"Oh...well...umm..." Loki stammard.

"Or are you afraid of us?"

"Afraid? No, I just thought you guys don't like me either. Like Sif. You never really treated me nicely as a kid anyway..."

"We don't not like you! We don't have a problem with you, only that you betrayed Thor the one time. That's it."

"You try living in his shadow." Loki said, his voice bitter.

Volstagg sighed, "We understand you lived in his shadow, but Thor feels horrible over it."

"Yes, I know. He talked to me."

"So...you're over that?"

"Yeah, I really don't care for being king anymore. Plus, looks boring."

"You say that now." Volstagg chuckled.

Loki smiled before getting up. "I'm going to find Thor. Bye."

With that he ran off out of the kitchen. "Well, that went nicely." Fandral said.

"Yeah, couldn't have done it any better. Good job Volstagg." Hogan said.

"Thank you." Volstagg replied.


~3 hours later~

Everyone were in the family room when Loki came running out of his room. He looked taller and a little older. Thor smiled at his brother. Sif sighed and looked away.

"Loki, come watch a movie with us." Thor said.

Loki stopped at the step. "Why?" he asked, confused.

"Why not?"

"The last time I watched a movie with you, you dumped water on me." Loki growled.

"Oh...I see...you got your memory...well more of it."

"Well yes, since I'm ten now...well technically hundred and fifteen. But...fine."

Loki sat down between Thor and Natasha, steering clear of Sif. As they watched the movie, Loki started to doze off. Towards the end, he was out cold. Silently sleeping on Thor's shoulder.

When the movie ended, Thor gently scooped his brother up and took him up to his room. After he tucked Loki in, he closed the door and went back downstairs. Sif was standing at the steps.

"So, when is Malekith coming?" She asked.

"Not sure, we just need to be prepared." Thor replied.

When he got into the family room, Banner was trying to fix his watch. "Banner, did anyone talk to Fury? Give him an update or us an update?" Thor asked.

The scientist looked up, "Yeah, their weapons are ready and their air ships. We're ready for Malekith."

"Good, I just hope Loki goes back to normal before he arrives here." Thor sighed.

Sif rolled her eyes but frowned, she knew she had to get a hold of herself and try to be a friend with Loki. But she doesn't trust him.

Natasha walked in to see Sif deep in thought. Guilt was written all over her face and confusion. "Sif, can I speak with you?" she asked, calmly.

Sif looked up and nodded. "What?" she asked.

"Do you think you could at least try to be a friend to him? Natasha asked.

Sif sighed, "Fine, but when he's back to normal. Not this one, he isn't the same."

"Alright."

Sif went back to Thor as Natasha sat down at the table. She had a feeling that Sif was going to do something to Loki, that will get her in big trouble. Most likely, with Loki. She knew she wouldn't want to be in trouble with Loki when he's back to his regular self.

A few hours passed when Loki walked back down the steps. Thor was shocked when he brother looked even older.

"It's only been three hours and you're twelve already?" Thor asked.

Loki looked up and yawned. "No, fourteen. Now I'm aging by four's...I guess."

"Four's? Maybe your magic is starting to get back under control?"

"Probably, I can control it more now. I also remember a lot of my childhood...I actually remember everything from then to now."

"So you remember your three children?" Tony asked as he walked in, with a Norse mythology book in his hands.

Loki looked up, "Yes."

"Good, cause what in the actual hell? Why do you have a son who's a eight legged horse? A serpent? And a wolf?"

Loki smiled, "I do what I want."

Thor laughed and so did Loki. Tony frowned, "Seriously though...how?"

"You don't want to know. Keep reading the book." Loki said. "It's good for you."

"So..you have a wife?"

"Who? Sigyn? Yeah...she went missing...a few years back. She took our sons too."

Thor nodded, "Well...if you remember everything then why aren't you...your regular age?" he asked.

"I don't know, but can I have a sand which?" Loki asked.

"About time you're hungry!" Thor said, waving off his question.

Loki nodded as they walked into the kitchen. "Wait, so you can become a woman and a man?" Tony asked as he followed them.

Loki laughed, "I think Tony is enjoying his book. And yes...but I don't feel comfortable being a woman. So I never bothered. Once I did but...I've learned from that mistake."

"So you turned into a mare and was...um...bred with that white stallion and had Sleiphiner? You made him?"

"Yes."

"Whoa...seriously...this is weird." Tony closed the book and put it down. "You, sir, have issues." Tony said.

Loki smirked, "And you don't?"

"In a matter of I don't."

"You drink far to much alcohol."

Tony was about to say something but then sighed. "Okay...fine."

"Now look who got the last word."

Tony chuckled before going to find Pepper. Loki grabbed an apple, washed it, and took a bite. Thor frowned, "You need to eat more than that, brother."

"I'm not that hungry, you know me Thor. I'm never super hungry." Loki replied.

Thor smiled, "Yes, I know. But it's unhealthy."

Loki just took another bite of his apple, not liking to be treated like he doesn't know. He knows it's unhealthy, but he just wasn't really hungry.


~Next morning~

Loki yawned as he sat up. He felt different today. He didn't feel like a regular fourteen year old, he felt older. He frowned and searched for Thor. Once he found his brother, sitting in the kitchen, he walked up to him. He was taller than usual too.

Thor looked at him in surprise. "Loki, you look like your normal self!" he said.

"I do?" he asked.

He was shocked at how his voice changed. It was older and he recognized it. He looked in a mirror to his regular self. His hair was slightly longer from when he was an adult but it still looked the same as when he attacked Thor. He grinned. He could remember everything, he still felt sad but he ignored it as he felt happy that he was his normal self again. He remembered everything from when he was turned into a child and remembered what Thor had told him.

"Looks like your magic skipped all the rest of the years." Thor said as he stood up. Loki nodded, "Yes, at least that problem is out of the way." Loki replied.

Natasha and Clint walked in to see the grown up Loki. They both gasped. "You look...different." Clint said.

"You look like the Loki who tried to rule over us a few weeks back." Natasha observed.

"Thank you...I think." Loki replied.

The warriors three smiled at Loki. Volstagg threw his arm over the man's shoulder. "Ah, the old Loki!" he cheered.

Loki smiled before ducking out of his arm. "Yes." he agreed.

Sif only watched as everyone rejoiced over Loki being back, but she wasn't happy at all. She didn't trust him one bit, but she did make a promise to Natasha. That she would try to be a friend to Loki when he was normal again. She put on a fake smile as she walked up.

"Good for you, Loki." she said. She cussed herself for not getting all the bitterness out of her voice.

Loki nodded, "Thank you. You know, you don't need to try and hide it. I know the promise you made to Natasha, you hate me and don't trust me. Don't worry, it's fine." Loki said.

Sif frowned and then shrugged, "Good, I don't think that would have played out well." she said.

But Loki had his back turned on her as he stared at the scepter that Thor handed him.

It wasn't the one he used when he had attacked Midgard. It was Odin's. "Father wants you to have this. He had another built for him, and figured you should have something special too. Besides your knives and magic." Thor explained.

Loki smiled, "Thank you, Thor."

Thor nodded and hugged his brother. Everyone was glad that Loki was back and wasn't trying to kill them at the moment. Loki was thankful too and realized his past mistakes.

"I guess you turning into a kid was your punishment. You seem to be...happy." Fandral said.

"Yeah, guess so. I do realize my foolish mistakes." Loki agreed.

Later on that day, Loki couldn't help but play pranks on the Avengers and the warriors three. Sif only watched from a distance and had to laugh at a few on them.

Fury called though and wanted them all to come down to Shield. Immediately. The time has come.

"It's almost as if Malekith was waiting for you to turn back." Thor whispered.

"I know..." Loki replied. "It worries me."

"Worries me as well." Thor said.


Author's note: Ah, I couldn't help it! I wanted the old Loki back, but not him being evil. Now on to the battle and so fourth. And am I the only one, or do you want him to be redeemed in Thor 2? I really do! I still hate Sif but...I'm considering either paring her or Natasha. Jane and Darcy will be part of this later on but I like her with Steven. ^.^

P.s: Sorry if this was rushed! :( and for other mistakes! And Loki's three children will be introduced later on! Get ready for Chapter 8 though! That's when the actual story gets going and I hope I make it good! :) and sorry it took so long :)
