Back in Midgard, Bruce and Steve were seen arguing and bickering back and forth about Tony and Thor. Steve believes that Tony will get hurt by Thor's hands, while Bruce thinks that no such thing will happen, no matter what.

"Steve, please. Trust me when I say that Tony will not end up being bruised by Thor. I don't think that Thor will do something without making him mad. He is a rational and level-headed individual," Bruce argues, as he tries to reason with Steve. Meanwhile, their entire conversation was seen by Clint, who was eating a large bucket of popcorn alongside with an amused grin framing his face.

Steve then answers back with his own conclusions, "Bruce, I am sure that Thor is a good man and all, but if Tony makes a snarky comment on Loki's behalf, then Tony is a goner in my opinion."

"I don't think that Tony is that stupid to make that sort of comments. He values his life too much to ask for that type of punishment."

Steve nods in understanding. But, his worries weren't going anywhere until Tony came out, safe and sound.


"Anthony, there is a reason why I need to speak with you in private. I do hope that you won't get angry at me for saying or question it," Thor says, his voice was barely above a whisper.

Tony was looking at him with questionable eyes. He wasn't sure what Thor wants to speak with him, but he secretly doesn't want to discuss about Loki. He likes Loki in a romantic way, but considering how Thor acts around him, he vowed to never let that secret slip from his mouth. He was surprised he didn't outright say it when he was drunk.

"What is it, Thor?"

"It is about Loki."

And Tony stiffed because he was nervous on the rest of the questions Thor might have for him.


"Loki, are you almost done in there? We have somewhere to be in a few moments and I want you to bet there," Vixry said as she was fixing herself.

"I am almost done here. Just give me a second and I will be right out with you."

"Okay. I'll be waiting for you."

Just as Vixry was about to wait for Loki, he got out of the bathroom, since he was simply going to change shirts because he dirtied himself while eating his food a while ago. And when Vixry stated that they were going to shop, and then going to meet a very dear friend of hers, Loki demanded to look presentable to the friend in question.

"Well, do you look nice Loki."

Loki blushed in response. "Well, thank you Vixry. I think it is a good idea to look around this strange planet you live in. It might serve me well when you're out working if you are."

"Yeah, that is true Loki. Are you done?"

"Yes, I am ready to head out."

"Oh, just a heads up Loki. Since you are meeting someone new, I think that it will be a great idea to bring some people here down the road. It will simply consist of my friends only."

Loki nods in agreement. "Okay."

Both then leave towards their destination.

"Okay, first we are going to go get some groceries because we are running out on the basics. And since you are with child, we need some medications so that you and the baby are well," Vixry said. She was scouring her bag for something that Loki didn't know.

"What kinds of medications do you have in mind, then?"

"Well, nutrients to start. And also, you can't fight because you might injure the baby in the process. We don't want that to happen, right Loki?"

Loki shakes his head. "No, I don't want to injure my son."

"In that case, no fights or magic for the duration of the pregnancy, unless the magic is required. But other than that, no magic."

"Okay, no magic for me then."


"So, Tony, I think that I may need your help only in this case," Thor says.

"On what exactly Thor?"

"Well, you weren't exactly subtle when you look at Loki the few times he was here."

This made Tony blush a tomato red because he was seen by the person he didn't want to be seen by.

"Oh."

"Please, don't be crestfallen by the fact that I saw those glances you gave my brother. I approve of the courtship if it happens."

This made Tony smile because he got Thor's approval, something he thought it will never happen.

"Really?"

"Yes, really Anthony. I assure still that if you make Loki cry, then I will speak with you, and will not be pretty for you."

"Don't worry about that Thor. Your dear brother is safe in my hands."

"I am pleased to hear that Stark."

Both males then take their leave, and as soon as Tony got out fo the private, sound-proof room, he was met with Steve and Bruce. Both were wearing scared looks on their faces.

"What happened in there?" Bruce wasn't concerned for Tony's well being at the moment because he could clearly see that Tony isn't sporting any bruises or see any blood anywhere in his body.

"It was a private talk, nothing bad happened if you were wondering," Tony answers back. He was at least glad that the team cared for him.

"Okay, we all have to go search for Loki sooner or later because we don't want an angry Thor, right?" Tony asks.

"Yeah, but where do we go in search for him. You know the universe is pretty much endless. He could be anywhere right now," Steve replies.

"I know that it is, but I think that Thor's home planet might have the technology to sense Loki's magic," Tony replied back. He was sure that such technology existed in Asgard.

"Well, I have to go ask Thor on that topic," Tony said and leaves. He was going to bring Loki back as soon as possible because the sooner Loki was rescued, the more time they can spend time together.

'If Loki looks at me the same way I look at him.'
