The next morning...

"When are you leaving?" The older of Hawkeye's boys asked as his father walked past him.

"I don't know. Sometime today." Hawkeye replied, rubbing him on the head. He walked out of his boy's bedroom and into the master.

Laura came out of the bathroom and folded her arms as she walked over to him with a smile. He held out his arms and hugged her and she sighed.

"It's gonna be a long little while." she said.

Hawkeye chuckled "Tell me about it."

Laura raised an eyebrow at him as they separated.

"So this...Loki guy." she said "He's the one who invaded New York?"

"And killed Phil Colsen and everything else, yep." Hawkeye replied. He sounded blunt, but it was mostly towards their guest enemy.

"Hm." Laura glanced out the window to where Thor, Loki, and Tony stood. Her eyebrows went up "Not who I expected."

"Not the guy who we knew." Hawkeye said, pulling out his bow and arrows from their closet.

"He seems so...sad."

"He probably deserves it." her husband replied, also peering out the window. There was a second of silence.

"Will you be alright today?" Laura asked, pointing out the obvious danger.

"I'm alright every time I go somewhere." Hawkeye replied with a grin.

"I know, but you won't even tell me what this is. That makes it seem a little bit more dangerous. If you know what I mean."
Hawkeye slung his arrows over his back "Nah, I doubt we'll come across much trouble today. The seven of us SHOULD be able to handle it." he smiled slightly and Laura broke down into a smile. She reached to touch his chest with both hands.

"Just be careful. The kids were so excited you came to visit. Make sure you come back."

"Don't worry, I will be. Steve has a way of making things seem worse than they are."

"So we'll start looking somewhere in New York." Tony said "I think Rogers wants us to go on foot so we don't miss anywhere." he paused as Loki and Thor looked at him and rolled his eyes "It's something he likes to do. Walking. And perfectionism."

Loki's eyes flicked between Thor and him for a moment, but he said nothing. Black Widow and Captain America came out of the house and came down the steps. Banner followed after a second.

"Where's Barton?" Tony asked, waving a hand "We need to go."

"He's saying goodbye to Laura." Black Widow replied.

"You know, he always struck me as a stand-offish kind of guy." Tony said with a snap of his fingers. He walked over to Captain America.

"Are you ready for this, Rogers?"

"I've done things like this before." he replied "Stark."

Tony flew above the others, cloaked by his metal suit. The sky was covered by clouds making the overall atmosphere gray.
"Jarvis." he said.

"Yes, sir."

"Scan for damaged areas." Ironman told him, eyes flicking over the screen in front of him "Especially for areas that have drops in temperatures. Thor said these bastards like to freeze things up."

"I'll keep an eye out, sir."

Meanwhile, Captain America and the others were walking along the barren hillside. They decided to avoid the cities for now because if the Jotuns had gone there, they obviously would have been on the news.

"So what exactly are we looking for?" Black Widow called over to them.

"Anything that suggests the Jotuns have been here." Thor replied "That way we can try to the entrance."

Loki followed the God of Thunder, lips forming a small 'o' shape as he looked around warily. Captain America hadn't gone more than a few yards from his side the whole time. Banner took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes.

Black Widow and Hawkeye were following in a jeep, going ahead occasionally. They were all fully armed with weapons, many of them not for fighting Jotuns, but for their visitor from Asgard.

"Hey guys." Ironman said over their intercoms "We've got an intense temperature drop a few miles ahead."

"We'll pick the other guys up." Hawkeye said, turning the steering wheel to the left.

"No need." Thor said, walking forward. Him and Loki looked at eachother briefly before Thor grabbed onto his younger brother. He spun his hammer until it was scarcely a blur and flew in the sky.

Captain America looked after him with an angry sigh. Ironman took off after the God of Thunder.

Thor and Loki walked around as they looked at the frozen ground. The jeep was parked several yards out as the rest of the Avengers walked forward. Ironman landed with a run and his helmet retracted.

"Is this it?" Captain America asked.

"They've been here." Loki said, still examining the ground. The others looked at him as he spoke for the first time "But there is no passageway here."

"How is that possible?" Captain America asked. He looked around "The ice is just in this spot."

"Uhh...no, there's a few spots up ahead." Tony replied, pointing "Jarvis, count those for me."

"But this could be their general area." Black Widow said.

"Passages between realms are different than this." Loki told them "They have been here, but the portal is not here."

"Really?" Captain America asked, looking at him stoically.

Loki returned his look, but didn't reply to him. Hawkeye scanned the area around them, eyes narrowed.

"Sir, there are sixteen spots up ahead identical to these ones." Jarvis said.

"And yet, this isn't the place?" Banner asked, looking at Loki curiously.

"You asked for my assistance and I'm telling you that there is not an entrance to Jotunheim here." Loki said, eyes hard "You can believe me or not as you wish."

"Loki." Thor said, hammer clenched in his hand. He looked at the others "This means they have traveled through here. We need to keep going." He walked forward, leaving Loki and Captain America to stare at eachother for a moment. Then Loki turned to walk after Thor in silence.

Banner got down on one knee and picked up a few pieces of ice that were on the grass. He showed it to Tony with a scowl.

"This ice isn't melting." he said "And it's still really cold."

"Yeah, I don't think they were kidding about these things." Tony replied, looking after the two Gods.

Also, many people believe that Loki was not in control of himself when he attacked Earth. I believe that Thanos manipulated him big time. He was horrible to Loki, because he is innately horrible. He knew that Loki would be useful so he started telling him how much he was wronged. He planted it in his mind that Odin and Thor treated him horribly (and too an extent they did, but they loved him). He sunk that deeper and deeper in Loki's mind. Loki always had a knack for dark magic, but now was being encouraged. When you are tainted by Thanos, it sticks with you and you can do horrible things. The mind stone probably also affected him. I do believe that Loki knew what he was doing. But that the longer you are away from evil, the less you are inclined to do evil. Loki knows that everyone hates him and he believes no one cares about him. Hopefully, he can hang on to the shred of hope that Thor still does, but I make no promises.
Also, nothing that happened after the Avengers except the beginning of Thor 2 happened in this story. That's when I feel like they really started to decline. Thor 2 was pretty good, but that's pretty much it. I also saw Infinity War and wasn't impressed, although I understand why people loved it so much. If you liked it, I'm so happy for you! I am more of a Thor/Loki fan so that would explain why I stopped liking things after the original Avengers.

Please review and thank you guys so much for all of the follows and favorites!
