A few days later, at the hospital, Colora is asleep, recovering. In a chair next to her, Loki is looking at Colora. A memory pops into his head.

PAST - ASGARD, 2010

Loki and Colora are at a bar, having fun. Loki is standing there singing, and Colora is smiling and clapping. Captivating instrumental music is playing as Loki is singing.

"Men trærne danser og fossene stanser

Når hun synger, hun synger "kom hjem"

Men trærne danser og fossene stanser

When she sings, she sings "come home"

When she sings, she sings "come home"

Men trærne danser og fossene stanser

Når hun synger, hun synger "kom hjem"

Men trærne danser og fossene stanser

When she sings, she sings "come home"

When she sings, she sings "come home"

When she sings, she sings "come home"

When she sings, she sings "come home"

Loki hushes everyone and turns to Colora.

"I stormsvarte fjell, jeg vandrer alene

Over isbreen tar jeg meg frem

I eplehagen står møyen den vene

Og synger: "når kommer du hjem?"

Colora tilts her head slightly, sighing as she knows his song is for her.

"Men trærne danser og fossene stanser

Når hun synger, hun synger "kom hjem"

Men trærne danser og fossene stanser

When she sings, she sings "come home"

When she sings, she sings "come home"

She smiles at him as Loki raises his glass, gesturing a toast. He shouts, "To Love!"

"To Love!" everyone shouts.

PRESENT

Lokie continues to watch, and Liam is asleep on the couch. At that moment, Colora slowly wakes up, turns her head, and says, "Loki?"

Loki leans over and whispers, "Hi. How are you feeling?"

"I feel like I just get hit over and over. What happened?"

"You passed out asleep once we got you on the Quin Jet."

"How long was I out?"

"Several days. The Team, Perseus, and -"

"What happened to Tyr?"

Loki sighs. "The Avengers and SHIELD took him to the Raft. He's going away for a long time."

"And Amora? The other bad guys?"

"They've been arrested too."

Relieved, Colora lies back and sighs. "Thank God." She turns to Loki and asks, "Wait, where's Liam?"

"He's asleep," Loki replied as he turned to show that their son was asleep. Colora smiles and has tears in her eyes as she looks at him. "He hasn't left since he arrived yesterday."

Colora bites her lip and has tears in her eyes. "Oh, God. He's so big."

"Colora, I have to ask. A few nights ago...did Tyr hurt you?"

Shocked and horrified, Colora stares at Loki. She stutters, "How do you know that?"

"Liam heard you screaming in pain," Loki replied. Colora starts to cry. "I took his hand and -"

"Did he...please tell me he didn't."

"No, he didn't. He knows something happened to you." Colora is relieved. "Now, what did he do to you?"

Colora looks down, ashamed. "He got angry. He was asking me why I betrayed him and when I started to tell him about my love for you and everything, he...he got angry. He said...'Now you will give yourself to me. Provide him with heirs.' And then...he...he..." She weeps as Colora can't finish her sentence, and the memory is traumatic. Loki is horrified. "I couldn't stop him. I wanted to, but I couldn't."

Loki grabs Colora and holds her in his arms. "Shh. It's okay. It's okay. He won't hurt you anymore. I promise."

Suddenly Perseus, Thor, Harisa, and Dellinger come in. Thor says, "Hey."

Loki lets go of her. Colora wipes her eyes and says, "Hi."

"Are we interrupting -"

"No, please come in."

They enter and quietly close the door as they see Liam is still asleep. Harisa asks, "How are you feeling?"

"Alright, I guess," Colora replied. She notices Perseus and smiles. "Brother." He comes over and hugs her. "Oh, Perseus."

"I missed you," he whispers.

"I missed you, too." Perseus lets go of her. "So what happens now?"

"Secretary Ross said he would like to have a word with you, and the Avengers are waiting outside to see you," Harisa replied.

"Is there anything you need?" Dellinger asks.

"Um, tell the Avengers I'll see them after I talk to Secretary Ross," Colora replied.

"Of course." Harisa and Dellinger leave the room.

At that moment, Liam starts to wake up. He yawns, "What's going on? Is mom -" His eyes go big as he sees his mother smiling at him. "Mom?"

"Hi," Colora replied with a huge smile and tears in her eyes. Liam gets up and walks towards her. She takes his hand. "Look how big you are. I can't believe it." She starts crying again.

Liam places his hand on her cheek. "Mom, please don't cry."

"I'm sorry, it's just. I've missed you so much. I'm so so sorry for sending you away. I was only trying to protect you."

"I know, and I forgive you."

"Oh, honey." She hugs him, and they both cry. "I love you so much."

"I love you too, mom."

Secretary Ross comes into the room. Liam lets go, sits next to his mother, and Loki sits on the other side of her. Perseus stands next to Colora. Thor stays back and watches.

"Secretary Ross," said Colora.

"Princess Colora," said Secretary Ross. "Perseus. Loki. Liam." He pauses. "Firstly, Princess, I and the entire world want to thank you. You saved the world before Tyr could act again. Your brother informed me about how you stopped him."

"You're welcome."

"But, I came here to inform you that even though we are thankful for what you've done. Many are uncertain about your loyalties. And so, we kindly ask that you leave for Earth for a time."

"Leave Earth? But I -"

Perseus interrupts, "It's all right. Colora can return home to Vanaheim as soon as she is fully recovered. Liam and Loki are coming as well. But I am hoping that this gesture for her to leave doesn't mean she is banished from Earth forever, I'm assuming?"

"No," Ross replied. "The council would like for Colora to leave Earth for a while; however, if the Avengers need her for anything, they will need to tell the council."

"Thank you."

Ross nods his head and leaves. Colora looks at her brother and says, "Perseus, you didn't have to -"

Perseus replied, "But I did. Since I am King now, I can have you come back home. You, Liam, and Loki."

"But what about father?" At that moment, Freyr enters inside. Colora looks up at her father and gasps. "Father?"

Freyr is speechless and pleased to see that his daughter is alright. He turns to everyone in the room and kindly asks, "Could...you give us a moment, please. I need a moment alone with my daughter."

Loki replied, "Sure. Come on, son." He turns to Colora and kisses her head. "I'll be back later."

She nods and says, "Okay."

Once everyone leaves, Freyr slowly steps closer to his daughter. "You raised your son well."

Colora replied, "It wasn't easy, but I taught him just like you taught me. Everything I do is for him." They glance away from each other. Dad...I'm sorry for everything. I just...

"No. I'm sorry." He steps closer to her and sits next to her. "I shouldn't have turned you away."

"But I betrayed you."

"No. You were following your heart. I may have been angry, but I shouldn't have turned you away. You are my little girl. You will always be my little girl."

Sofia has tears in her eyes. Freyr then embraces his daughter in a hug. They start crying. "I missed you so much, dad."

"I missed you too, sweetheart."

As Loki watches Colora and her father, Perseus approaches him from behind and says, "Hey."

"Hey," Loki replied, not looking at Perseus.

"You okay?"

"Yeah, I'm just glad that she's okay."

"As are we all."

Loki turns around and says, "Perseus, you really didn't have to do that."

"Do what?" says Perseus.

"Your offer on having me stay with you in Vanaheim. I don't deserve to -"

"You're right. I don't. But you're Liam's father, and he needs his father just as much as Colora needs you. As a father, I know."

Loki raises his eyebrow and smiles. "You're a father?"

Perseus smiles. "Yes. To a little girl. Named her Mia Colora Hastain."

"How sweet."

"Yeah. She means everything to me. Just like my wife does."

"How old is she?"

"About the same age as your son."

"Wow. Does Colora know?"

"No. Not yet."

"Ah."

They look away briefly for a moment. Perseus then turns to ask, "Loki, what happens after this? I mean between you and my sister."

Loki replies, "I don't know. I was hoping to let her decide. Why?"

"Do you still love my sister?"

"Of course I do. Why?"

Perseus takes a box from his pocket and gives it to Loki. Unsure what's in the box, Loki gives him a particular stare. "Open it," said Perseus.

"What's in it?" asks Loki.

"Something that you had a long time ago."

Loki opens the box and is surprised. The beautiful and elegant engagement ring he proposed to Colora is inside. He looks at Perseus and is confused. "I don't understand."

"I found it in her drawer when she came home eleven years ago. I talked to my family, and though you may not get their trust back fully, they know that you and Colora's love is strong. You came back to help her and didn't give up. They want you to fulfill your promise to my sister twelve years ago."

"You mean...they want me to... they're okay with me asking your sister's hand?"

"As long as you remain loyal to my sister and my nephew and do not commit more acts of violence, then yes...they want you to marry her."

Loki turns back to Colora, talking to her father. Then he looks at Liam interacting with the Avengers. Then turns his head back to Perseus and nods. "Okay."

An hour later, Freyr approaches Loki and says, "She wants to see you."

Loki replies, "Okay. Thank you."

"It should be, I thanking you."

"I'm sorry?"

"Colora told me how you've been trying to help her and when she risked her life for you..."

"I get it." They smile and nod at each other. Loki then heads to Colora's room.

Colora turns her head and sees Loki coming in. He walks towards her, sits next to her, and says, "Hi."

"Hi," Colora replied.

"You okay?"

"Yeah. It just feels nice to see my dad again."

"Yeah. I know when I went to Vanaheim to ask for his help, I know your family was not happy to see me."

"I bet so."

Loki takes her hand and holds it. "Colora. There's something that I think I need to ask you."

"Okay. What is it?"

"When I went to see your dad, there was something that he said that I wanted to ask. You remember when I told you about my father telling me that I was a frost giant and everything?"

"How could I forget? Why?"

"Well, the reason why I ask is because...when I went to see your father and ask for help. He told me something about what he and my father talked about."

"What did he say?"

"After you and I started dating, he said my father told him something about visions."

"Loki, I did what I did because your father had a vision of our future."

"Our future? Do you mean our fathers broke us apart because my father had a vision?"

"Yes."

"Who told you?" Loki asks.

"Your mother," she replied. Colora sheds tears as it becomes difficult to explain. "I wanted to tell you. I really did. But you were so upset. I felt that if I told you, you would have been more upset."

"But you should have told me!"

"I know, and I'm sorry." Colora starts crying.

Loki then sighs and holds Colora in his arms. "Shh. It's okay. It's okay."

Colora leans away and wipes the tears from her face. "Loki. What happens to us now?"

"What do you mean?"

"Father said something about...him wanting us to be a family or something."

"He wants you to be happy."

"I gathered that. But I think he meant the promise you made to me."

"What promise?"

"I promise that I will always be there for you, and I will not just serve the people of Asgard,..." Loki looks at her, surprised that she remembered what he promised her all those years ago. "but I will serve you, follow you, and I will give you my heart for as long as we live. I will love you till the day I die. Together we will decide what is right, as husband and wife." Loki sheds happy tears.

"Loki, I know that time has been lost and everything but...I love you more than anything in this world."

"I know. So before you say anything, I think there is something you should have." He pulls out the box and gives it to her. Colora opens the box and starts crying as she looks at the beautiful engagement ring he gave her years ago. She looks at Loki. "So, Colora...will you marry me?"

"On one condition." Loki looks at her. "Don't fake your death and lie to me ever again. Because if you pull off that stunt again, I swear I will kill you myself."

"You have my word. So? Is it a yes?"

"Yes." Loki takes the ring, places it on her finger, and then passionately kisses her.

Perseus turns to his dad and everyone outside the hallway. Thor asks, "Well?"

Perseus replied, "She said yes." Thor, Harisa, Dellinger, Liam, and Wanda cheer. Everyone else looks at each other and smiles.

Colora and Loki turn to each other and smile as they hear the cheering. She whispers, "I guess they know."

"Do you feel like having visitors?" Loki asks.

"Yeah."

"I'll get them." Loki stands up and peaks his head at everyone in the hall. Colora sits up. Loki comes back and sits down next to her.

The Avengers, Harisa, Dellinger, Thor, Perseus, and Liam, enter. Liam comes back to the bed and sits next to her. Sam smiles and says, "Congratulations!"

"Thank you," Colora replied. "God, I've missed you guys. However, some of you I've never met before."

Bucky smiles and introduces himself, "I'm Bucky. Bucky Barnes."

"Steve's friend? Yes, hi. Steve talked very highly of you. How is he?"

"He went back in time to return the stones and stayed in the past."

"Oh. And is it true about Natasha?"

"Yeah."

"Oh god. I'm so sorry."

They nod their heads. Wanda then asks, "Why didn't you tell us about Liam? We would have understood."

Colora replied, "I wanted to, but I didn't want to risk it. Not when I was searching for the stones."

"Why were you searching for the stones?" Clint asks.

Colora replied, "I wanted to ensure that I knew where they were and that they were either safe or in good hands. And making sure that Thanos wasn't going after the stones."

"Oh," said everyone.

"So when's the wedding?" asks Sam.

"We're going to discuss it," Loki replied.

"But when we have a date, you all are invited to the wedding in Vanaheim," Colora added.

"Wait, so that means we're going through the Bifrost," Sam implied.

"Yes," Colora replied. "Unless you have another idea." They all laugh. Perseus notices his father, and he decides to leave the room.

Perseus approaches his father. Freyr says to him, "I want you to stay with your sister until she is released."

Perseus replies, "Okay. But what about Tyr? Secretary Ross told me yesterday that he requested her presence."

Freyr looks at his daughter and then back at his son. "Tell her, and if she decides to see him, then you, Loki, and Thor go with her. If not, then just return home."

"Yes, sir."

RAFT - A FEW DAYS LATER

Loki, Perseus, Thor, and Colora are walking down a corridor. Escorted by guards from the Raft and the Vanirs. Secretary Ross approaches them and says, "I'm surprised you came, Princess."

"So are we," said Thor.

"I'm doing this for me," Colora implied. "Not for him."

Secretary Ross nods his head and says, "Okay. And only the Princess and two other people can go. One of you stays with me."

Perseus turns to Colora and says, "I will go."

"So will I," said Loki.

Colora turns to Thor and asks him, "You don't mind, do you, Thor?"

Thor replied, "No. I watch for anything suspicious."

Colora smiles. Perseus commands the guards, "You stay with Thor. We'll be back in a few minutes."

"Yes, your grace," replied one of the guards.

"Guard escort King Perseus, Princess Colora, and Loki to Cell Block 518," said Secretary Ross.

"Yes, sir," said the SHIELD guard. "Follow me, please."

"Thank you," said Perseus. They follow the guard.

A few minutes later, Colora, Perseus, Loki, and a guard leave the elevator. They then follow the guard down the hallway to a chambered area. The guard looks at a camera and says, "Open the doors to sub-level 5." The doors make a sound as it opens. "Take your time, but please don't touch the glass."

Colora replies, "Okay. Thank you."

The guard moves back. Loki looks at Colora and asks, "Are you sure you wanna do this?"

"I do."

"Okay." They head inside.

Tyr is in a jumpsuit reading a book. They stop halfway and stare at him. Tyr stops reading and says, "I heard you survived. I'm so glad." He turns around and sees the look on their faces.

"Glad you think so," Colora replied with a stern look on her face. She takes a few steps forward as Tyr stands up.

"So what can I do for you, love?" Tyr asks.

"Cut the act, Tyr. I just wanted to see how you looked behind bars. And it suits you."

"Come on." Tyr notices Loki not too far behind and is pissed. "So you're going back to my brother? I would have given you so much more."

"I highly doubt that." They glare at each other. Loki and Perseus glance at each other and then turn back to watch. Colora continues, "I'd rather watch you die for what you've done. But...having you here is much better because you will die alone."

Hurt, Tyr takes a step closer to the glass. "Colora, please. Please. You know I love you. I will always love you."

"Goodbye, Tyr." Colora turns around and leaves.

Tyr starts banging on the glass. "I know you love me! YOU WILL NEVER FORGET ME! I LOVE YOU!"

Loki, Perseus, Colora, and a guard walk to the elevator. Loki lightly touches Colora's shoulder and asks her, "You okay?"

Colora turns to Loki and replies, "Yes. I just want to go home." They enter their elevator.

A few minutes later, Thor, Vanir guards, and Secretary Ross are waiting for Colora, Loki, and Perseus and see them approach. Thor says, "That looked brutal."

Colora replied, "It was, but it's over now. And that's all that matters."

Secretary Ross informs them, "Don't worry. Security here is tight. He won't be going anywhere for a long time."

Perseus turns to him and says, "I'll make sure of it, as I send a guard once a month to ensure that your security protocols are in check."

"Okay."

Perseus looks at his sister and asks her, "Ready to go?"

"Yes," Colora replied.

A few minutes later, Dellinger, Harisa, and Liam are bringing out their belongings. At that moment, they see Thor, Perseus, Loki, and Colora returning through the Bifrost. Liam runs to his mom and says, "Mom!"

"Hi, honey," says Colora as she hugs him.

"How'd it go?" asks Harisa.

"Oh, I think Tyr won't go anywhere anytime soon," Loki replied.

"But I will have a guard check on the facility once a month to ensure he's still there," Perseus implies.

"Good," Dellinger replied.

Colora takes a few steps forward and asks, "Is everything packed?"

"Yes," Harisa replied.

"Good," said Perseus.

Colora asks Thor, "Are you sure you don't want to come with us?"

He replies, "I'm sure. But I will be there for the wedding. Just let me know."

"We will." She hugs him. Then takes a step back.

Loki then walks to his brother. Thor says, "You better take care of them."

"I will," Loki replied. "I'm not going to make the same mistake again."

"Good." Loki and Thor then hug each other. Loki then takes a step toward Colora.

Liam steps toward his uncle and says, "I'll miss you."

"Don't worry," said Thor. "I'll come to visit. I promise." They hug each other. Then Liam walks to his mother and father.

Perseus turns to them and asks, "Ready?"

"Yes," Colora replied. They all grab each other's hands, then look up as they go through the Bifrost.

VANAHEIM

The royal family is waiting outside, along with the servants. Esmeralda turns to Sadiel and says, "I'm so glad she's coming home."

"Me too," Sadiel replied. "I've missed her."

"We all have," Sjofin added. "I'm happy that at least Liam will have his mother and father."

"As do I," said Perseus's wife. "No child should be without their parents."

"I agree," Freyr replied.

A guard approaches them and says, "They're coming."

"Good."

"Announcing his royal highness, King Perseus, Princess Colora, Prince Loki Laufeyson, and Prince Liam Laufeyson."

They see the four of them coming—the family gasps and smiles. Colora stops as her eyes tear up to see her family. Loki turns to Colora and asks, "You okay?"

Colora replied, "Yeah. It's just...seeing my family..."

Loki takes her hand. "Come on."

They approach the family. Liam hugs his family and says, "Aunt Sadiel! Aunt Esmeralda!"

Esmeralda replied, "Hey, Liam! So glad you're here."

Perseus approaches his wife, kisses her, and says, "Hi."

"So glad you're safe," said his wife.

"How is she?"

"He?" asks Colora. Perseus and his wife show Colora her little niece. "Ohh, my God. Is that?"

"Sis, meet your niece."

"Awe. She's adorable."

Sofia glances up, notices her mother, and approaches her. Her mother has tears in her eyes and says, "Hi."

"Hi," said Colora.

They hug each other and start crying. Then her sisters hug her. Loki and Liam side hug each other and smile as they see their mom is happy. "Come, we have a lot to talk about." They all head inside.
