It only took a couple of minuetes for them to get there, but to Loki it felt like it was days since the last time he could walk. He can't believe that he is about to meet two of the Avengers again. Especially after trying so hard to avoid any confrontation to them as much as he could possibly can and to make sure that he lives a really quiet life as much as he could possibly can. But his worse fears is still going to be flying through his mind while they have to deal with them. Part of Loki wishes that he could freeze them like Hiemdall and run as fast as he could possibly can. But it would only make them go after them if they ever find out he froze two Avengers and probabley would have to deal with an angry rant from Darcy for years on end. So maybe that wouldn't be the best idea and between the two of them, he would rather just deal with the Avengers and get it over with then do something reckless that might lead to the exposure of his entire life on earth. But that doesn't stop him from being nervous of possibly having to face the Avengers and that they might suspect something about Mysto.

But preety soon he doesn't have to worry about what could happen when he encounters the Avengers again, he will have to exspirence it himself. Since before the three of them knew it, they were in front of two memebers of the Avengers. Pietro was standing right next to Captain America and Black Widow, both of them were ready to hear some answers and curious about this mysterious new superhero. Loki was trying to get ready for any potential questions that could be asked and what could be really convincing responses that they might just drop whatever case that they might want to get on about him. But all he knows that he has to get this over with and then try to convince them to hand over the Infinty stone after when all of this is over. Maybe he could somehow reason with them and it will be over before any one knew it. Then he could continue gathering the Infinity stones and stop Thanos without any more future intertuptions or delays, but in order to do so Loki figured that maybe it would be best to speak first. So that way he can just get to the point and maybe even know that he's going to get the septar back by the end of the day without worrying about meeting with Thor.

"Um... we were wondering that if it would be alright after you are done with that mysterious contrapion that you give it to us because we really need that machinery and we are in a hurry after when all of this is over." said Loki briefly "Since we really need it after you are all done with it immiediatly for classified reasons and you might thanks us later if you ever find out the reasoning why we need it. So if you would kindly lead us to it right now then we would be really grateful." With that both Black Widow and Captain America exchanged a look at each other. While Darcy stared nervously and hoping that they would at least consider it and don't know if she should tell Loki off for that statement for making it too demanding. But if it could get them the next Infinity stone then let it be, since at least that it would one less stone to worry about. It took a moment, but they were ready to give out their respond to the request and it wasn't something that anyone was expecting. Though it wasn't as perfect or as hopeful as it could have been.

"How do we know that you are not going to use this thing for your own desires?" asked Black Widow "That thing is really dangerous and we aren't just going to give it to just anyone." Loki wasn't surprised that neither one of the two Avengers would ask a thought provoking question or be suspicious of him and his most recently formed team true desires for the machinery. But he knew that he must somehow convince them that their desires are genuine and that they could somehow trust them and believe that they are making the right decision. Loki is really hoping that they would consider that they would give it to them because it's clear that they are the most exspirence at handling infinity stones without accidentally blowing it up both figuaritvly and literally. Plus it would make their whole impossible mission to stop Thanos a whole lot easier and he would be forever grateful that they were convince after this.

"I care too much about our well beings to care about letting that thing destroy us thank you very much." said Loki "If that thing gets in the wrong hands then it could be more dangerous than any of you will ever imagine. It's imperative that we deal with it now before anything happens by ussing it that may be disastrous, especially if anything happens to it."

"Yeah that is exactly why it might be best if we keep it because as you said anything could happen to it and we can't afford leaving it out in the open." said Captain America. "Even if we could trust you and your rag tag group of friends, why would should we give you one of the most dangerous weapon that could ever exhist at this day and age?" Well if he thinks that thing is dangerous, then he should wait and see what might happen if all six Infinty stones are together and what Thanos is going to do if he gets all six of them with a gauntlet on his right hand. Then things will get really interesting and whose knows maybe both of them would regret giving it to them and have Thanos run amok for who knows how long until he does his true plan or they stop him.

"Look if you are willing to take the risk of experimenting that thing might bring then be my guest. We don't need the entire thing, we just need a small piece that is really important to us." explained Loki "After that then your friends can experiment on it all they want, but right now we really need that piece for our secret mission to rescue someone." Darcy immiediatly try to hide her shock towards the lie that she now has to play along, so she tries to act like if it wasn't new and she was really worried of their 'friend.' She's just hopes that she's starting to get better at lieing at this point of this Infinity stone chase and hidng Loki from his own brother. If not otherwise their doomed with a captial D and she better hope that the Avengers is prepared to fight a mad titan before destroying the world and everything in it. But she knows that she has to help Loki and no matter how much she wants to fangirl right now. Along with maybe ask for both of their autographs right now and maybe take pictures if someone could lend her a cell phone. But she has to help convince them of letting them at least borrow the Infinty stones until they defeat Thanos and then give it back once they are done.

"I know that we just met and you have every good reason why you shouldn't trust us. Especailly when it comes to these circumstances, then I don't think I would trust anyone myself as well. But we can help, why don't we come back to Avengers tower with you guys and help out in anyway that we can possibly can with Ultron?" With that it caught all five of them by surprise and the only one who is not happy with that idea is Loki.

Since he's trying hard to get the Infinty stones in order to stop Thanos and live his life as quietly as he can before anything else happens. There is also unfortunately the fact that he will see Thor again and after everything he went through was Loki ready for that. Not too mention, Thor is going to be furious if he tries to keep this up and he somehow happens to find out what is really going on. Along with finding out that Mysto is his supposably dead brother. Forget Thanos, he's probabley going to be doomed by his brother, father and an army of angry Asgardians ready to make sure that he knows what happens when you lie to not one but two different planets along with the only family that he has left. Things would definitely not go well if the truth ever comes out, in fact if it does then Loki really wishes that he has or know some kind of memory spell becasue he would definitely need it. But first he has to make sure that Darcy hear one thing clear before she suggest that they move in with them and now he has to do it.

"Uh Darcy can I have a word with you now?" asked Loki in a trying so hard to keep his patience's in check. But failing miserably because of the fact that not only Darcy has complete control of the situation and it seems to be playing itself and there's nothing he could do to barge into this without looking suspicious. Fortunatly before he knew it, it seems like that today might be his lucky day after all.

"Will you guys execuse us for a minute?" asked Captain America as he led Black Widow away from the group in a far away distance that they could still be present to the group, but they could whisper silently so that way they can't hear them. Loki knew at this moment, that this is the perfect opportunity to talk to Darcy about recent developments. So with that he makes the area that they were standing more sound proof as he did when he visited Thor in that cell back in New Mexico. The moment after Thor was getting interrogated after he got himself arrested by just trying to get his hammer back. Part of Loki wants to know what could have possibly happened that could have led to all of that. But there are two things that Loki is sure of... One, Thor failed misserbly and two, this spell is not going to make them invisible like the last time. Now that was taken care of, there's four little wise words that are on top of Loki's mind that he would like to say to Darcy...

"What were you thinking?!" yelled out Loki the moment the spell was casted "Do you want to get the four of us arrested? Since not only that I have to now fight an evil, haywire, talking trash can of nuts and bolts, but the mere fact that my secret identity is now in jeopardy all because you want the three of us to live your desire to live through your book of drawings?!"

"You know you don't have to shout right? Since they might hear us. Plus I am not trying to live out my childhood dreams, I am just trying to help." said Darcy now getting just as frustrated as Loki. But trying her hardest not to loose her temper. "This might be our last chance on getting that stone and I don't see that you are trying to take any risks to do it. You're just standing there trying to hide behind that mask and making sure that no one sees your identity let alone your true self. You are so ready to stop what ever could happen like if someone is going to grab you, take you away and reveal yourself to everyone you know. You are pushing yourself in a bigger shadow that Thor might never make no matter how many years that you two may be alive living in the same palace together. At least I am not going to miss the only opportunity that I may have to get the next stone."

"First of I am not afraid or worried about anything, second I casted a spell to make sure that no one other than the four of us could hear us and third there's nothing wrong of taking extra precautions." said Loki so frustrated that he's now wondering why couldn't he have faked his death to Thor and pretend that he came back as a ghost to be his conchese or something? "I'm trying to grab all of the stones and do it in a way that doesn't garentee that we all either don't get ourselves caught or worse killed. Maybe if you don't continue looking before you leap then maybe we wouldn't have this disagreement right now!" Now that immiediatly got Darcy to fire back up and stand up to her pessimistic and difficult roommate.

"Well at least I'm not the one that is trying to make sure that I have a mask on as an execuse to hold me back. Maybe if you just let go of your fears for one minute then maybe you could live your life more freely and happilly than you are right now. Just try to go with the flow and you might feel better about this whole thing rather than just plain doubtful. Instead of being the grinch that stole the excitement of the mere fact that we might work with the Avengers as the worst fate possible."

"You are just going to be reckless with the fact that right now we have to fight an manic and collect six stones with unbelievable amount of power. Along with possibly as of right now fight off an army of machinery with my foes from the last time I was on earth." said Loki pointing out of the most obvious facts with frustration ready to turn into anger. "In case you have happen to have forgotten, my brother is also amongst them and one wrong move then I'll be exposed do you not care about keeping us away from a jail cell?! You are being so irresponsible with no regard to our own well being!"

With that an arguement broke out between the two and saying it was intense was the biggest understatement of the year. It was a good thing that Loki created that sound proof barrier that way no one can hear them, especailly Black Widow and Captain America who's literally a couple of feet away from them. Both Wanda and Pietro did was watch the two argue as it was going on becasue they do not want to know if Loki will unleach his powers if he looses his temper and bring out a full fledge fight between the three of them. Just because Wanda saw that there is now goodness in heart now, that doesn't mean she's not afraid what could happen because he still tried to take over New York and trashed it after all. So it wind up leaving the two of them constantly turn their heads to watch who ever was speaking and then back while it was the others' turn. As if they were watching an intense tennis match with the score tied and they made it into over time with both players being the best in the league and at any moment one of them is going to win. Though it started to become more intense by the minute and there's no telling how this is going to turn out...


Meanwhile Captain America and Black Widow are trying to figure out what might be the next best course of action. Along with how to handle the new heroes that want to have the mysterous weapon or at least a small part of it. Since they both agree that they won't give it to any of them just like that and they need to see if the twins genuinely change. Plus they don't even know a thing about Mysto and they are definitely not going to give something so powerful and dangerous to a total stranger and his friends. It's taking them a while to make a good decision that could keep the world safe and everyone except Ultron and they wins after all of this is over.

"So what do you suggest that we do? Since we can't just give them that piece and call it a day or just leave hanging waiting for something after we promise to give it and never do so." pointed out Black Widow "If we are going to do something it has to be now before anything else happens. We have no other choice on this matter and the worst part is that we have to stick with it unless we want more drama which we don't."

"But the question is how are we going to do it without upsetting anyone in the process." pointed out Captain America "I don't know how we are going to do this... unless..." That caught Black Widow's attention and she immiediatly turned to him wanting to know what he has in mind and to learn what it might be.

"Unless what?" asked Black Widow almost immediately afterwards and was really curious on what he might be planning to do. With a sigh and at that moment Captain America turned to her ready to explain his plan to her. Along with hoping that this plan is not one that he would wind up regretting later on.

"We should try to get them to help us, since we're going to need all the help that we can get in order to defeat Ultron. But before we give anything to any of them then we'll tell them that in order to get the part that they are looking for they will have to earn it." explained Captain America "By doing that they will have to stay on our sides and make sure that they don't try anything. But if and only if they managed to prove that we can trust them, then they can have the whole thing no questions ask."

"Really you are going to make a promise like that to two total strangers and two people that initially hated us but declared that they wanted to help within the first couple of minuetes that we meet again?" pointed out Black Widow "But still what are going to do if they do manage to prove that we could trust them with our lives? Are you just going to agree to give them that part they need for whatever reason that they may want it for?"

"Well we are going to make a deal with them and we'd be no better than HYDRA if we just manipulated them to help us without keeping our end of the bargain." said Captain America with a deep sigh "So... I guess it leaves us up to no choice but to keep our end of the bargain and hope for the best." The two of them looked at each other unsure of if they are really going to go through with that. In fact Captain America was half hoping that Black Widow would protest and come up with alternative solution that could erase all of his doubts like magic. But instead Black Widow gave a heavy sigh as she began to head towards the four and stopped herself to say something to Captain America.

"Well Steve, let get this over with and make sure that we are making the right decision. Along with also hoping that we are not regretting this later." said Black Widow as she continues to walk forward towards them. With that Captain America soon followed behind her and ready to make that deal with the group before them.


The bickering was still going on strong and both of the twins had just about enough of this argument. Even though they only known both Darcy and Loki for a short time, they can both agree on one thing that they fight like an old married couple. In fact Quicksilver just had half the mind to dash right in between the two and make sure that they stopped. But preety soon he might as well considered it because both of them were heading their way and that the arguement needs to be stopped before any one suspects something that might be up with one of the four of them. They exchanged a quick look at each other quickly knowing if they don't act now then a really awkward situation may come towards them. But fortunatly Wanda already have a plan on something that might work rather than just try to talk over the two and hope that they would miraculously stop by themselves.

"I got this." said Scarlet witch to her brother with a quick nod. With that she used her powers to gentlly to try to push the two of them away from one another, but instead... Her powers had pushed the two of them closser together to the point that they both hit their heads together...

"Ugh if you wanted us to stop that badly did you really have to hit our heads with each other?" asked Loki annoyed as he tries to processed what just happened and the quick unexpected painful moment of this situation. He doesn't know if he should be annoyed that he not only exspirenced a really awkward moment or bumping his head with Darcy because of reasons...

"Yeah seriously I knew that it was probably going to get annoying, but is using your powers really nessicary?" asked Darcy rubbing her head to soothe any temporary pain. "I mean what could possibly be so important that you had to do that?" With that both of the twins exchanged an annoyed look to one another, that it was surprising that neither one of them have said one word that anyone would say... 'really?"

"As much as I would have loved to resolve your identity crisis right now." said Scarlet witch as fast as she could possibly can "Since right now you two might want to drop it unless you want to owe them an explanation or expose some of Loki's secret powers then you guys might want to try to not act like how you would both normally act behind close doors. Especially now if they are going to tell you their final verdict." With that they turned and saw that both Captain America and Black Widow were headed their way. With a quick gasp, Loki quickly uplifted the sound proof barrier so that way nothing seems to be odd about the location on it's own and Darcy try to quickly come up with an excuse why it look like that they both were having a shouting match. She manages to come up with a good plan on how to cover up the arguement with another argument.

"Act like we are fighting over whether a burger is a sandwich or not." whispered Darcy "Play along and follow my lead." Even though Loki had no idea on what Darcy is talking about and ultimately decided to play along no matter how long it may be. Even though he have no idea on what they might be pretending to argue about and might make a fool of himself in the process,

"It is a sandwich! I mean come on anything that has two slices of bread and there's something in between then it has to be a sandwich." tried to argue Darcy but in a really awkward matter. "I can't believe that you actually think that a burger is not a sandwich because it obviously is a sandwich."

"What are you even talking about? Why would I be arguing about some kind of meal that I have never heard of before?" asked Loki absolutely confused but trying to argue back with his confusion in the way. But he is failing when it comes to the trying to hide his confusion because he's really curious on why would humans argue over something so petty.

"Come on don't play dumb to me, we both know what you said." said Darcy awkwardly trying to make it sound aggressive but instead it sounded completely ridiculous and awkward. "We both know that you think that burgers are not a sandwich of any kind, I mean you might have said it before and you have forgotten about that arguement that we both agreed to get back to whenever it's the most convient to try to make this arguement settle or something." Before Darcy could continue to make this fake arguement even more awkward, Loki made a quick gesture for her to see that both Captain America and Black Widow were standing right there. From one quick look, Loki is not sure if they are annoyed at the sight or if they were just embarrassed for them because they just whitnessed the most awkward and embarrassing argument in the history of arguments. Before either of them could say something or turn to see what are the twins' reactions to this entire scene, it is about to get really interesting.

"Aside from your wired burger debate that could get resolve when all of this is over. Even though she's right a burger is technically a sandwich like it or not." said Black Widow pointing out before getting back at the task at hand "We have made a decision and prepared to offer you all a deal." That got Loki a little Annoyed because he wanted to get the stone with no strings attach or possibly having to help the Avengers defeat Ultron. But if it's the only way to possibly get that stone without any trouble in the way then he's willing to help deal with the robot.

"We're listening." said Loki already ready to hear what they might possibly have to do to get that stone and end all of these complications from just trying to get the stone back.

"If you all can prove to us and the other Avengers that we can trust you all with our lives then we'll be happy to give up whatever you want to do whatever you want with it." Explained Captain America "It would also be sometime after this unprecedented fight against Ultron is over, if you all would like maybe you could help us defeat Ultron that would be a great way to prove that you can be trusted. You don't have to decide right now or have to do it but we would be forever grateful if you guys really do want to help like you have said earlier what do you say?" Now that got Loki really concerned and unsure what might be the best course of action on how to get the stone and possibly even protect his secret identity because he definitly did not sign up for this...

"Now that sounds like an awesome deal and I'm sure we would be happy to help in exchange for the piece that we need. After we prove to you guys that we can all be trusted of course!" said Darcy almost immiediatly and in the back ground both Scarlet witch and Quicksilver were nodding their heads in agreement. (Anything in order to make up for their most recent actions, redeem themselves and stop Ultron.) Once Darcy was sure that the twins were in on this, she turned to Loki and knew that there is no way he'll be able to get out of this one. "What do you say Mysto?"

Loki knew that there might be no other option but to go forward and help the Avengers in order to have a chance to get the Infinity Stone. Since sure he could create an illusion of himself to go around and do his dirty work. But that could only go so far and if he had to save someone then he would really like to see the look on their faces when it turns out that it was nothing more than illusion. Not too mention that probabley wouldn't earn him anything except another angry arguement with Darcy would occur when she finds him. He could always try to find an excuse on why Mysto can't afford to loose any time to go out and help them because of the fact that the only threat on Earth is Ultron and his evil robot army. Not too mention, he would also have to worry about Black Widow suspect something is up if he didn't volunteer to help. Maybe it could even lead to her spying on him, not that she probably would suspect something off either way because of Black Widow was able to manipulate him of all beings to reveal his plan on escape and stoping the Avengers by breaking them up before they could even form. With all of the factors there and Loki's own fears as well, he has come to the conclusion that he has no choice but to do the last thing that he really wants to do...

"When do we start?" asked Loki in a defeat tone. Already remebering the last time he said that was before going to the Dark World with Thor to avange his mother. But this time it was not in the same excitement and determination as before. Though with the main hope that he really do not regret this...


Hi there,

Well it's here! The next chapter of Redemption and I met my goal to have it come out close to the Endgame release date. Even though it's three wee after it came out. On the subject of it, first of I am not going to reveal any spoilers for those who still haven't seen it. But I have to say that I am not upset of the movie (except certain things that are major spoilers), but I am disappointed. Since if it not for my favorite charecters then it is for the ending because it doesn't feel like an ending that I could leave out of the theather and feel sastified. I mean it may be better than infinity War, but it still was not enough and the idea of the Avengers and the Guardians of the Galaxy was so awesome. It had so much potential and it was disapointing to see that something that I was excited and sound awesome on paper disappoints me and maybe other people. But instead of ranting about the movie and make it a big deal then there is one solution to this. Just don't watch Endgame and Infinity war, since there are many ways to be a fan then putting up with something that I don't like, I mean there are many awesome marvel movies that many of us enjoyed that we would rewatch all of the time if given the chance. Even though things turn out the way it did in those movies, I am not going to stop writting Redemption until Loki gets a happy ending and he did in canon thanks to Ragnarok. Plus if you stopped at Age of Ultron, Ragnorok and Guardians 2 then all of these charecters did get a happy ending and it leaves things open ended for many fanfics regarding what happens next and the fight against Thanos. The thing about being a fan is that no matter what happens in the future whether through a story ending or it being unsatisfying. The memories that were made when you first entered the fandom and the happy exspirences that you made as a fan. Along with all of the friends that you made and the stories that you read and made about these characters. I mean I know it sounds cheesy and some of you may be rolling your eyes while reading this, but it is true because we shouldn't stop being fans just because of the last two Avengers movies. Since abandoning everything else because you hate somethings that happend in the last couple movies is not what true fans do. We still have the other movies, new content that might be good like the Loki series and Scarlet witch series and fan fiction to enjoy. So who to say we can't be fans due to a couple of movies and I'm sorry if I offended anyone who likes both Infinity War and Endgame. I'm glad that you all enjoyed something that some people and myself probably didn't enjoy, I hope that you will continue to enjoy them after rewatching them for the number of times. But I feel like that this is something that I needed to say before continuing to write this story.

But I do have a couple of updates for Redemption, for starters from that comment that I got recently about grammar. I would like to appologies ahead of time for this and future updates because of it. Since grammer is not my strongest suit when it comes to writting and I am trying to get better every day in anyway I can. But I am going to try to become better for you guys because I want this story to be as good as possible and something all of you guys and future readers to enjoy. So I am going to try to become better and try to improve my grammer in any way that I can possibly can. Plus aside from the quality of the writing itself, the next chapter of Redemption is probably going to be a long one and probably going to be one of the longest chapters ever in the story as a whole. I'm talking over 10,000 words at least and it's going to be a big one since we are going to see Loki and the Avengers (including Thor) interact with each other in an environment that none of them hostile with each other. Especially after the first Avengers movie and the past that both of them didn't start off on the right foot. I'm probably going to call them by their superhero names right now because it will be easier to keep track of and the only character that I probably would rotate for now is Iron man and Hulk. Especially since the two don't wear the armor or stay a green monster at all times throughout the entire time. But then again I could just call them by their superhero names durring battle scenes and their real names durring their down time. But then again who knows? I'm sure that I will be able to figure something out. Plus with Darcy in the mix and Black Widow was not captured and held prisoner by Ultron then it is going to be an interesting chapter, especially because six out of the ten of them soon to be eleven knows of Loki's secret. So the chapter will probabley come out sometime in late june to early July. Probably around July 18th the latest.

Plus there's also the fact that the 30th update of Redemption is coming up and I definitely glad that this arc is intersecting with the update. Since I have plans for a really interesting two part chapters that could make the 30th update and chapter be extra special and exciting. I can't believe that this story has come this far, especially with how close we all are to the final battle. Since let's just say after three to four chapters of Loki and Darcy's misadventures, it is going to be a roller coaster ride to say the least...

So will they defeat Ultron? Will Loki be able to keep his secret even though he is now going to be working closely with the Avengers? How is that going to turn out as a whole? Will Loki and Darcy make up after having the mother of all arguments? (For now at least...) Where has Thanos and Nebula been all this time due to how quiet they have been recently?

Well I guess we'll have to find out next chapter in order to find out don't we? See you guys next chapter. :)
