A/N: Drama!
The Avengers, Loki, Iron Man, or anything of the like. Just the thoughts inside my head. And taking some personal freedoms with mythology and lore.
Loki opened her eyes when she heard scratching at the door and felt something wet on her hand. She frowned and saw Lya scratching at the door and Tyr at the bedside. Looking over she saw that the boys were still asleep, the pups sleeping on either side of them. She silently got up, grabbing a robe on the chair and slipped it on. When she opened the door Lya ran out. Loki drew a couple of runes on the door before she closed it and followed Tyr down the hall. Lya was scratching and whining at Tony's door and Loki frowned.
She saw the door handle move and she moved down the hall to hide in the shadow. Lya growled but whimpered she she was kicked away from the door by Lanhr. Tyr stood over Lya and growled loudly, barking at him.
"Dad?" Loki's head turned when he heard Emma coming down the hall. She reached out and grabbed her around the waist, pulling her back a second before a magenta fireball hit the wall. She gasped and looked over at the door as it slammed shut. Emma pulled away from Loki and started to pound on the door "Dad!"
"Emma, wait," she walked over to the door, running two fingers along the edges, glowing green. "It's spelled shut." She shivered a little and looked to see Emma's arms turning blue. She placed them on the door and frost started to cover the door. Once it was covered in frost and ice she made a motion to Loki towards the door. Loki tried not frown but put her hands together conjuring a large orb of power and launching it at the door. It shattered and Emma was the first to run in.
No one else was in the room but there was some kind of glowing sphere sitting on Tony's chest. Loki grabbed Emma's arm before she could reach Tony. "Let go! Someone has to be there for him." Loki winced a little but didn't let go. He reached over and grabbed a pen from the bedside table and tossed it over towards Tony. It hit a barrier that crackled with magenta and brown power and it shot back across the room, embedding itself in the wall.
"You wouldn't be here at all if I had let go," she said before letting go of her arm. Loki walked around Tony, trying to see what had happened. "Both Lanhr and Gauton were here." She leaned down at the edge of the barrier and looked over at Tony. "Tony, can you hear me? I need to know if you're conscious." She watched carefully then saw Tony's fingers twitch. "Alright, good, I'm going to try and get past this barrier."
"What's happening to him?" Emma asked, arms crossed across her chest as she watched Tony.
"I'm not sure exactly why, but they're trying to change him again," Loki said quietly, hands glowing, moving in different rune formations.
"I thought they couldn't do that to him anymore," Emma frowned and looked over at Loki. "That he was already part Fae because of you."
Loki swallowed once but didn't take stop her spell working. "They weren't able to, when we still had our soul bond." She put a hand over the barrier and it crackled around her palm. A slight brown tinge leaked into Loki's green magic and the barrier fell. Loki made a face and winced, then shook her hand out.
"So they were able to do this because of you?" Emma dropped her arms then moved over to the bed. Loki took the crystal off of Tony's chest gently and he gasped a little. "You've been back for less than a day now? Anything else going to happen?"
Tony winced a little. "Em," he shook his head a little. Loki watched him, frowning when she looked at his bad eye. It wasn't exactly blue anymore, but seemed to swirl a little with magenta and brown around the edges. She looked back down at the crystal before put her palm over the top of it, letting her green magic sink down into it before setting it down on the side table.
"Are you okay? What can we do?" Emma looked him over for any visible injuries and he shook his head a little. She looked up at Loki. "Do the bond again, make it so they can't do this again."
"No!" Tony tried to stretched out his arms a little. "No, don't. They're expecting that."
Loki frowned watching him. "But their power will spread if we don't get them out of you. It'll be worse than last time, Tony, trust me."
"I know, but if you do the bond then they'll know where you are," Tony took a breath and his muscles seemed to tense in pain for a second. "It'll latch onto you, and they'll get you for sure."
"Dad, you can't be thinking about-" Tony put a hand on Emma's to stop her.
"Stop worrying about me, I've been telling everyone that for years." Tony flexed his hands. "I've been through this before and I can deal with it again. This time I know how to fight against it."
"That when it was just Lanhr, Tony," Loki told him. "This time it's mixed with Gauton's power. I don't know what both are going to do to you."
"Just help me up," Tony said, trying to sit up. "It's time we warned everyone else, I don't think we can wait."
Loki looked around when he landed and started to walk quietly. He had managed to find another path out of Alfheim, but wasn't sure where this one had led him. It was dark, but not for long, and he wanted to find shelter before daylight. He found that it was easier to travel during the night, and sleep during the day, hidden away from wandering eyes.
The landscape was rocky and barren so he was no where hospitable. Luckily though it didn't take long to find a cave to rest in, and he moved as far back as he dared. Loki pulled the bag around his shoulders off and pulled out several blankets. He had stocked up on supplies before he left, knowing that he wouldn't be able to use his magic for a while, at least until he was strong enough to hide it's use.
As he sat down on one blanket and pulled another over him he sensed something beside him. "He looked over and saw Hela, smirking at him, sitting on the ground. He could easily tell that she was an apparition though.
"The great and mighty Loki is on the run, from a couple of Fae no less." Loki tried to ignore her as he rearranged his bag, taking out a flask of water and taking a drink. "Would you like me to watch over your family for you? Update you as the days go on?"
"I'd absolutely adore it if you left me alone," he told her, still not looking at her. "Aren't you afraid that you'll be found if you use what little power you have? Since you don't have a realm anymore this must be rather tiring for you." She snarled at him and he smirked a little.
"You're family mourns, you're precious husband makes himself sick over the 'loss'." Loki frowned and grabbed a rock throwing it at her. It passed through her image but it didn't disappear. "Their pain is so delightful to me. Tell me, when you eventually return, will they hate you? Will I be reveling in your pain next?"
"Leave me be," he growled at her. "Isn't it enough for you right now? Leave me so I can rest. I know you enjoy watching this little game, just like I know that you were the one to help them escape."
"I like dipping my fingers in a few pies, it's true," she smiled. "I suppose I'll leave, I have a feeling you won't be too much fun tonight anyway. But trust that I'll be watching with bated breath as I watch the chase."
Loki frowned as she disappeared and rested his hand on his stomach. He couldn't listen to her, he had a plan, but right now he needed to gather his recourses and energies. He'd see them again, he promised himself he would.
