Vanessa hoisted her duffle over her shoulder and paid the taxi man. She straightened out her dark blue scoop necked shirt with a draped black vest over it, black skinny jeans that tucked into ankle boots and as always the necklace Loki had given her as well as her engagement ring and bracelet.

She knew her dad was not going to like what she was about to do, but it really wasn't up to him; Loki needed her just as much a she needed him, maybe more so. Throughout her childhood ever since she had developed her powers he had been there for her and now it was her turn to be there for him for above all else she loved him despite everything that had happened.

She had brought up what Loki had told her, but despite her dad, Bruce, and surprisingly Steve being on her side the general consensus was that he was lying to her. Not even Thor would believe her so she remained quiet and proceeded with the rest of her plan.

She made her way over to Natasha and Clint who climbed out of a SHIELD issued car. Steve was the next to show up on his motorcycle and parked before approaching the two assassins and Vanessa then Tony drove up with Banner in the passenger seat.

"I see you added some new charms to your bracelet." Natasha commented as Vanessa stepped up to them.

"Yep, one for each of you." Vanessa said holding out her wrist the bracelet heavy with charms.

For Natasha and elegant spider charm etched with a floral pattern, Clint's was of course a bow and arrow, a pair of glasses and a beaker for Bruce, Steve's shield, Thor's hammer, and the American flag and shield symbol for Coulson. All of them had diamond chips strategically placed in them.

"It's beautiful." Natasha said with a slight smile.

"Thanks." Vanessa replied adjusting her duffle more comfortably on her shoulder.

"What's with the duffle?" Tony asked as he walked over to them.

"It's nothing." Vanessa said with shook her head. Tony started to say something else, but they spotted Thor who led Loki to the railing.

"Well let's get this over with." Banner said as they joined them.

"Was the muzzle really necessary?" Vanessa asked her arms crossed.

"I wish it were not." Thor said shaking his head as Tony opened the briefcase holding the Tesseract and Bruce put it into a container then handed it to Thor.

"Come back and visit us sometime." Tony said to Thor clapping him on the shoulder.

"I would be honored." Thor said and nodded to all of them as he readied the Tesseract.

"Wait, I'm coming too." Vanessa said as she stepped forward. Loki could say nothing, but his eyes said enough. He didn't want her to go and see what was to happen to him knowing that only punishment waited for him.

"What?!" Tony said looking at his daughter in shock.

"I do not believe it to be wise for you to come." Thor said gravely.

"Well if you can't do something wise do something right." Vanessa said looking to Thor who smiled and nodded. Looking back to Loki she could tell that he still didn't want her to go, but was at the same time happy that she would be there for him.

"Wait a minute, Vanessa…" Tony started to say.

"Dad, this is important, please understand that I need to go." Vanessa said in determination. Tony's mouth opened and closed a few times before he let out an irritated groan and pointed to Thor threateningly.

"You better watch and out for her." He said through gritted teeth.

"You have my word." Thor said then Tony rounded on Loki.

"And you better realize just how lucky you are." Tony said with a narrowed gaze who nodded sincerely in return.

"Tell everyone I said bye and that I love them." Vanessa said softly as Tony hugged her.

"I will." Tony said as he squeezed her close. "Pepper is going to kill you and me for letting you go."

"I know." Vanessa replied.

"Be safe up there Nessa, I love you." Tony said seriously.

"I will and I love you to dad." Vanessa said as she hugged him tightly once again then stepped back with a sad smile as she took Loki's hand tightly in hers. He also squeezed her hand in his feeling better just having her so close to him and knowing that she would not yet be taken from him. "Bye everyone." Vanessa smiled brightly. "Watch my dad and make sure he doesn't do anything stupid while I'm gone."

"Hey." Tony whined when suddenly a blinding light hit them when Thor twisted the capsule and the three of them disappeared to Asgard.
