Loki's POV
We didn't go straight off and get married-mind you, we took a trip back to Migard when everyone was healed. Unfortunately, it took Thor the longest to heal, and every day I visited him in the hospital, my gratitude to him fills all the oceans in Migard. Once again, he is my brother. Frigga is my mother, but I can't accept Odin yet as my father. Darcy plays psychologist and tries to help me fix things between me and him, but some things cannot be fixed, not even by a hand as delicate and gentle as Darcy's.
I was weak, when I was revived, but Darcy was fine and perfect after I saved her. It took me about a week to get well, and when I was well, it took about two more weeks for Thor to get better. He'd complain and complain about how he hated being sick, and about how mad Jane would be at him, and I finally promised that if he stopped complaining, I'd take him to Migard the second he was better. Of course, he didn't stop complaining, and I took him anyways.
Together, we went to where the old bifrost was and I held Thor and Darcy's hands, after promising them we'd make it there safely. Then, I summoned the power and took us all to Migard. We landed, in New York, in Darcy and Jane's old apartment, and Darcy ran to the door pounding on it until Thor kicked it open. All at once, we ran down the stairs and into Jane and Darcy's apartment. Upon opening the door, Jane burst into tears, and hugged each of us, then brought us in.
"I have to call SHIELD," she sniffed, "The Avengers have been worried sick."
"Did Natasha make it?" Darcy asked softly.
"She did, thankfully," Jane nodded, "For these past few weeks, she's actually cried in front of me, telling me how sorry she was about messing with you and Loki, and that how when she was trying to wipe red out of her ledger, all she did was smear more on."
Darcy began sniffling and seemed kind of sad, so I suppressed a smug smile and put my arm around her to comfort her. We sat down on the couch and Jane brought us tea and cookies, then sat herself down on Thor's laps refusing to move.
"You left for three weeks," Jane started, softly, "Why do you always leave without me?"
"I apologize, my love, I had to save my brother, and was injured in the process… I've been in bed for the past three weeks, until I got better, then my brother brought me here," Thor explained.
"I shouldn't have tagged along," Darcy murmured, "It was my fault Loki almost died… he tried to save me and he could have-"
She broke off and began crying, and I wrapped my arms around her whispering that it wasn't her fault at all, that I was so glad to have seen her, and that if she had stayed mortal, she would have died, and eventually I would have too of sadness.
"Shut up, that's so cliché," Darcy sniffled.
Smiling, I rested my head on hers, she was my Darcy again. Suddenly, the door burst open and in came all the Avengers. Tony was the first through stomping over to high five Thor, Steve came in next rushing over to hug Darcy, then came in Clint who ran straight to Darcy and hugged her longer than Steve, and Natasha came in by his side, she said nothing, but nodded at Darcy. Bruce Banner came in next, standing shyly by the doorway, and Nick Fury came in with his two shadows.
"You've done well, Avengers, you too Loki and we're willing to offer you a spot in the Avengers," Nick Fury said.
"I accept," I said without hesitation.
"Good, now we'll have time to say hello and cuddle up later on the plane ride, but right now, the world needs saving, or California needs saving and we need you guys to ship off as soon as possible. We'll debrief you in the cars, and y'all can get all friendly on the plane ride to," Nick Fury said.
I rubbed Darcy's arm and looked at her, but she was smiling straight at Nick Fury. She was ready, we all were. And now, it was time for us along with the Avengers to fight alongside, my loyalties lying with them now. America truly was the place where one could put behind his past and create a better future, and now that's exactly what I'd do.
Steve stood up, and looked every single person in the eye, then said, "Avengers, assemble."
