It was a couple of months before Thor, Jane, and surprisingly Loki returned from Asgard. The All-Father had awoke from his Odinsleep, and had resumed the throne, and was being objective about the punishment of his younger son. He knew that Loki wasn't completely to blame for the attack, but at the same time, he was responsible for the death of hundreds if not thousands of innocent people who got caught in the crossfire of The battle of New York. He also consulted with other deities of equal status as him to be as fair as possible. After everything was said, and done, he decreed that Loki was to undo the damage he caused, and to help defend the realm he sought enslave/destroy, even if he wasn't in his right mind.
While they were there, Jane was properly introduced to her boyfriend's parents, Odin and Frigga. Odin disapproved at first, at least due to the fact that she is mortal, but Queen Frigga had other plans from her husband. She had been watching her son's beloved for a time, saw she had a warrior's spirit and made plans to aide her so she could help Thor. She had been given an enchanted dagger by their Greek cousins that controls the wind, like Mjolnir controls lightning. She had some work done to it by the master blacksmith of Asgard to hone its abilities and other enchantments added to it, so when she handed it to Jane, she had a surprise up her sleeve.
Jane was surprised to be given a gift by her boyfriend's mother, especially after just meeting her. She took the dagger, and Frigga spoke the phrase "She who be worthy of this dagger may claim the power of Orithyia, Goddess of the Cold Mountain Wind."
As Frigga spoke the phrase, a transformation began in Jane. Her hair grew longer and thicker, and her body grew in height and lean muscle. Her clothes changed into black pants, a deep blue grecian inspired tunic and loincloth skirt ,a light blue flowing sash, silver armor on her shoulders and boots, a Navy blue cloak appeared around her shoulders and a mask appeared on her face and head. As she settled from the transformation, a streak of her hair that settled on her shoulder turned platinum blonde. Jane Foster was not there anymore, but in her place was Orithyia, Goddess of the Cold Mountain Wind.
Everyone stood in stunned silence from the recent turn of events, especially Odin, who was slack jawed, which was uncharacteristic of him. All of his children followed suit. Frigga simply said "Now you have the abilities of a goddess, and thanks to the help of some of our cousins, with time you will become a demigoddess. You should have no problem keeping up with my son now."
Meanwhile on Midgard, or rather Earth, a lot happened in those months. The X-men were having a very important discussion about some of their members, and their lack of involvement in the battle of New York. You see Jean, and the cuckoos both had sent a distress signal to the X-Men for help, but the xman who received it was Havok, also known as Alex Summers, younger brother of Scott Summers aka Cyclops. Havok was known to be a little arrogant, and was truthfully a little envious of the Avengers, especially since Director Fury and Professor Xavier wouldn't allow him to join. So there was some resentment towards the team on his part.
"Alex, how could you, in good conscious ignore that?," asked Jean. " Hundreds of people died, and more were injured because we did not have help with the invasion. How?"
"I assumed that the cuckoos were exaggerating. And when I heard yours, I figured that the mighty Avengers could handle it," Havok replied and added contempt to his voice.
Logan also known as Wolverine growled and rolled his eyes. Emma gave him a look that could've killed. Lorna aka Polaris had to walk out of the briefing room. Ororo Munroe who went by the codename Storm went to say something to him, but his brother Scott aka Cyclops beat her to it.
"How. How can you be so flippant about the loss of lives? How ,Alex? Especially since we grew up in separate orphanages. Do you even care that you helped condemn who knows how many children to the same fate?"
In the end, Jean, Emma, Betsy, the cuckoos, Pol, Tommy, and surprisingly Scott all left the institute to join the Avengers full time, and the junior programs respectively. It may seem surprising, but he thought it would be for the best. Storm took over the leadership of the team when he left.
Carol went into labor shortly after the battle. She and Remus became the parents of a healthy baby boy named Teddy Lyall Lupin. He had Remus' eyes, with a shock of Carol's blonde team fell in love with the baby as soon as they met him. They weren't the only ones who became parents in the tower either.
Bellatrix was awarded custody of the child she saved with little to no trouble when the officials realized that she was the one who saved the girl. The girl whose name is Hermione Granger was slightly traumatized by the way she lost her parents, and she also was starstruck by her new adopted mother. She made fast friends with the other kids, making friends really for first time in her life. She took to her lessons with Agatha Harkness quickly, and her magic took on a fuchsia/magenta color. Ironically she became the order in a sea of chaos in the younger generation.
The asgardians returned to the tower ,via bifrost, and were caught up on events. The Avengers were a little alarmed, to say the least when they saw Loki unbound walking freely around. Thor explained that Odin decreed that Loki was to help restore the city, and undo the harm he had caused, as well as defend the earth. He also explained that Loki had been brainwashed by Thanos, an unspeakable evil on par with the All-Father. Bellatrix sympathized somewhat, being a pawn for a greater evil,but was cautious around him, if for no other reason,he was the reason Hermione lost her parents. That is, until one day, when she went to the library in the tower, and found Hermione at ease with Loki, knowing who he is, and was getting help from him with something she was having trouble with, which was unusual. She started opening up to him after that, and there was chemistry between the two. Thor, Andy, and Cissy noticed this and took to teasing their siblings about the relationship, and it flourished. So Much So that, after about 6 months, Loki proposed to her, and she initially declined to most of the Avengers surprise. Loki was persistent, however, and after a little over another 6 months, he tried again. Hermione was there the second time, and saw the look on Bella's face, and quickly explained.
"He told me everything Mom. He even let me cast at him. That's why my aim has improved so much. He wasn't in his right mind, he was brainwashed. I trust him. You deserve to be happy too. And honestly, I like the idea of having a new dad. I know that you would never expect to completely replace them, but I think of you as a mom, and honestly, I think he will be good for you."
It should be noted that this was the first time Hermione referred to Bella as mom. With that revelation, Bellatrix agreed to marry Loki. He smiled a genuinely blinding smile, one that made him look younger. He said, "You have made me believe in love once again. Until I met you, I thought that it was a hopeless folly for me. When my first wife died, it destroyed my heart, and you brought it back."
"You were married before?"
"Yes. Her name was Sigyn. She died in left me with a broken heart, and a daughter who was half dead."
As Bella slipped the ring on, which was a platinum band, with an emerald ,peridot,and malachite set resembling a triskelion surrounded by tiny diamonds, on the balcony, there was a roar, and a beam of rainbow colored lights. Queen Frigga stepped out of it, and made a beeline for her younger son and his fiancée. She pulled them into a bone crushing hug, and insisted on holding the wedding at the palace in Asgard. She then called the women over and began to plan for the wedding while the men congratulated Loki, who had just officially joined the Avengers.
