AN: Not gonna lie, I am seeing Winter Solider for the first time in like 3 hours. So, for the sake of this story, we are gonna say that SHIELD picked itself up in the time Loki was gone, okay? Okay!

Loki didn't speak to Violet at all while she drove to the wedding venue, but that didn't mean Vi didn't try to coax him into a conversation.

"Come on, Lo. Just talk to me. It really did just slip my mind." She looked over quickly to see that he hadn't even looked over from looking idly out the window.

"It's really not that big of a deal. She's not gonna try to lock you up or anything, really."

The silence was practically deafening before Vi let out a frustrated groan and looked at Lily in the mirror.

"Lily, sweetie, talk to your Daddy for Mama please,"

"Da?"

"Yes, little flower?" Loki answered, ignoring Violet muttering 'Ass' in his direction.

"Talk to Ma please,"

"You love her," Lily said matter of factly.

"That is very true, but your mother forgot to tell me something very important. That is why I am not speaking to her."

"Ma, say sowwy,"

Violet smiled, "Loki, I formally apologize for forgetting to inform you that Aunt Maria was coming to the wedding. I beg for your forgiveness, oh great God of Mischief."

"And you have it, mortal, on the promise of an offering of yourself tonight."

"Might be able to handle that,"

"I look forward to it, darling."

"Ma and Da better?"

"Yeah, thanks Lily," Vi said.

" Welcome"

Vi pulled up to the beautiful mansion twenty minutes later. She left the car with the valet and let Loki trail behind with their outfits for the day.

Upon entering the gigantic home, Lily moved just ahead of Violet to look around.

"Grandma!" Lily yelled catching sight of Irene in down the hall.

"There's my little Lily!" The elder woman exclaimed, hoisting the girl into her arms. "Hello Violet,"

"Hi Mom," Violet hugged her mother tightly. "I have a surprise for you,"

"And what's that, dear?"

"That would be I, Mrs. Hill,"

Irene froze instantly at the sound of his voice, "How cou-"

"He came back, Mom, a week and a half ago."

"You have some nerve showing your actual face around here," Irene growled.

"Only those who know of Lily's parentage see it, all others see the same face you saw when we first met. I offer no ill will to any soul here, Irene. I am here only because your daughter asks it of me,"

"I'm sending Robert and Maria to see you," Irene stated curtly, before striding away, Lily still in her arms.

"I think she likes me," Loki said with a smirk. Violet hit him playfully and was about to respond when she saw a furious looking Ellie storming over.

"So nice to see you again, Ellie, you look well." Loki greeted. He was answered with a sharp resounding smack across the face.

"That's for leaving my baby sister, you son of a bitch," the elder of the Hill sister snarled.

"Ellie, it okay. We haven't quite figured out the mechanics but it wasn't his fault." Vi said quickly, trying to placate her sister. "He's back with Lily and I now, yeah?"

"He had better be," If looks could kill, Loki would have been dead 10 times over.

"I am, I swear on my honor."

Ellie sniffed just as Robert came around the corner with Maria just behind him.

"Well, I can see why Irene was so adamant that we come find you, Violet," Robert stated, looking between the two

"Mr. Hill," Loki nodded. "Agent,"

Maria was sizing him up from head to toe, taking in every detail. From the way he was looking her square in the eye to the way he had an arm curled loosely around Violet's waist to the way he only broke eye contact when he looked towards where Lily's laughter was coming from.

"I can have all of SHIELD and the Avengers themselves here and on your ass faster than your magic could get you out. You mess up today for my nephew and his family and you'll be back in custody until Thor can take you away again. You break my girl's heart or hurt either Lily or Violet in any way, I will kill you myself. Is that understood?"

"Yes ma'am,"

Maria nodded before patting Violet's arm quickly and walking away.

"Sorry about my sister, she's always been blunt," Robert laughed out.

"It it nothing I didn't deserve, sir."

"At least she didn't shoot you, Lo." Violet chirped. "Now, bring the clothes, we need to get all dolled up for Micah and Maven's big day!"
