To feel nostalgic
Loki's P.O.V
I was pretty much a shell; even if my mother was back, even if Odin did not blame me for what I did, and even if I had a protective Thor watching over me. It just wasn't fair that my family had to die; it just wasn't fair that I got to live instead.
I sulked in my room, resting on a chair, trying to remember the days when I was actually happy- Even if it was over some of the stupidest things.
This happened before Percy was born and when I had just started to court Sally for a while.
Sally was always my light, I never stopped being attracted to her. Whenever I had a bad day she would always be there to lend an ear, and I always thought that my relationship with Sally was perfect; Until one day when I was ranting about Thor's friends, talking about how idiotic they were.
I started to notice the way Sally's shoulders slouched and how she was suppressing her sadness in order to give me a smile. I gently dragged her toward the couch and soon the two of us were cuddling next to each other.
"How was your day?" I whispered in Sally's ear.
She looked uncertain at first but then she told me about a really bad day at work; about how rude some people can be. Then she talked about her arm aching because a monster got in a lucky shot with their claw.
The second I heard that I grasped her arm gently and looked it over; it looked fine to me.
"Loki, it's the other arm"
I let out a chuckle before grasping the other arm and examining it; grateful she was able to take some godly food and not burn up (unlike me who can).
"Next time you get hurt, you tell me" I said as I hugged her tightly, and she let out Giggle.
I used to laugh at how lovers acted this way, but now I can see why they act in such ways.
Every Time she smiled at me, I knew she was looking at my good side and never once glanced at my bad side- I felt light-headed.
I was grinning like a fool as I got up and said in a childish voice, "let's take a walk around your human polluted home that makes my lungs groan at the foulness in the air"
She playfully slapped me and we walked out of the building and into the snow.
Sally said she loved spring, while I liked winter. In Asgard their were only spring and summer; I definitely knew what snow was, but I always felt free with the cold against my skin.
I joked about how I did not need much gear for the harsh weather and my brother Thor need it.
"I believe there is only one explanation to why I can bear the cold more the Thor."
Sally tried to suppress a smile as she realized I was going to say something funny.
"This whole time I have been the stronger brother"
She laughed, remembering how I told her of my struggles to hold a sword as a child.
The memory ended and others flashed; one caught my attention.
This was back when Sally had been just my best friend.
I decided to stay over for lunch; Sally looked beautiful in the simple sleeveless top and jeans.
It was during the summer, and Sally noticed my hesitation when eating some beef she cooked.
I thought it would be embarrassing to talk about how when I was little I could not eat the tough, heavy meat in Asgard. I could now but I could not but help but feel slightly disgusted.
"Loki, you do know friends don't poison other friends"
I smiled and tried to take a bite, I chewed the annoyingly tough, stringy meat.
I tried to swallow as nonchalantly as possible, but I clearly failed when Sally handed me a paper napkin.
I spit in it and quickly trashed it.
"If you hated beef you could've just told me" Sally said, I marveled on how she did not sound disappointed, she always seem to be bubbling with happiness.
It always made me feel happy knowing my best friend was, without a doubt, the best.
"I can eat meat, just don't enjoy having it inside my stomach"
She had a thoughtful look before saying, "remember when you didn't know what a chicken was because they don't exist on Asgard?"
I raised an eyebrow, not seeing where she was heading.
"It happens to be a pretty light meat and really good, also there's a McDonald's place two blocks down and I am in the mood for some chicken nuggets"
I decided to humor her and I walked with her to the place.
I felt like I was biting down into heaven.
She laughed at my expressing and soon we wandered out into the park; a jogger passed by and I saw a small dog run away from a frantic owner.
I excused myself saying I had to return home.
"Of course I will return as quickly as possible; who knows what might happen to you if you don't see my god-like looks"
She laughed and rolled her eyes before smiling and giving me a quick kiss on my cheek .
I was blushing so badly that I looked away from her.
"All right Mr. Handsome, looks like my life is in your hands so you better visit soon."
I noticed she was also a little red before she waved and walked briskly away.
The door of my room open and I saw mother enter; I shook my head trying to signal her that I was not in the mood for talking.
She gave a agonizingly sad face before nodding and leaving.
Tony's P.O.V
"So let me get this straight" I said as I talked to a supposedly all powerful god, "my sister was your daughter, and that would make her half god and also Greek gods exist"
The man had black hair and a neat beard with a touch of gray; he had eyes just like my sister and nephew and a huge fork in his hands... Oops, my bad, I mean a trident.
"Are you going to have a mental breakdown?" Poseidon questioned.
"Maybe" pepper said meekly, and she looked a bit overwhelmed. The god's hard look in his eyes immediately softened when she spoke; so he hates me for what I did to Sally which is reasonable but is kind to pepper.
Maybe because she is Percy's godmother.
"I am sorry if this is sudden" Poseidon imputed, I interrupted saying "it more over something overdue..you know maybe something along the lines of GREEK GODS EXIST"
He looked coldly at me before saying, "Loki is Percy's dad"
I froze.
Pepper eyes went wide and she turned to me to see my reaction.
(Sorry for the language but what Tony is about to say is pretty much a fact so rate this T for Tony)
I scowled as I said in an angered tone "Let me get this straight; Loki befriended my little sister... F*** my little sister... Knocked her up... And...HE...LEFT..HER!"
"He also killed Percy"
Rage leaked into me, Thor said that Loki was threatened and is innocent... But now I believed he was truly evil.
"But, Percy was risen back from the dead by a being"
I felt a rush of relief, but the way the god said it put me on edge.
"Why do you make it sound bad?"
"Percy is having a mental breakdown"
Pepper immediately went all godmother mode, "what! Where is he now? How can we help"
"I believe it will be healthy for him to continue living under your care; he is currently in the room you have for him."
Too many thought floated in my head, I manage to get out one.
"What about Loki?"
"I already placed a bounty on his head, but do understand that what we may telling both of you, you must not repeat to anyone"
We both agreed and he got up to leave.
"Friday, how's Percy"
(In case you guys forgot Friday is Tony's new A.I after Jarvis became vision)
"Percy is sitting on a chair sir, he seems greatly troubled"
Pepper got up, ready to comfort Percy, I followed closely behind.
Pepper open the door and the first thing I noticed was how dark the room was, the shades were brought down.
Pepper made a move to let sunlight in while I approached Percy.
I wanted to tell him that Loki doesn't deserve Percy and that Loki will pay, but I had a feeling that that's not what he wants to hear.
"Percy"
He looked at me with broken eyes.
"Let's...um... Let's just forget anything that starts with L and ends with a I"
He let out a small smile, that's when an idea came to my head.
I dragged Percy up and said, "forget about him okay, now is not a time to think"
Pepper snapped her head at my direction when I said that, "oh no you don't, every time you say that you go ahead and do something stupid"
At the corner of my vision I saw Percy smiling a bit more.
I lead him to my lab and to the closets that held my suits.
"Your birthday is in two days but I guess I can give you a early present.
Low and behold a smaller ironman suit with the same style and color as mine.
Percy froze and stared at it in disbelief, pepper looked like she was going to get a heart attack.
Before pepper could say how dangerous that is Percy spoke out
"Is-...-is that really mine"
His eyes gleamed with happiness, momentarily forgetting the pain.
Pepper soften and said, "I guess it would be fine, as long as you practice on a low setting surround by non exploding objects"
Percy threw back his head and let out a laugh of excitement, but then the pain settled in again, still he smiles a small smile and said, "thanks for... Trying to help me. I'll try to forget about what happen"
The he walked towards the door and said "right now I kind of want to sleep in".
Even though it was the middle of the day I let him go sleep.
Percy's P.O.V
When you get betrayed, First you feel despair and hurt, but then you feel anger.
Why should I feel sad about it!? I refused to give him the satisfaction. When I saw how much Tony and pepper cared, I couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
I have come to the decision to deny the fact that I am a son of Loki, if I think of it i might do something rash.
I fell asleep after a couple of minutes, slightly scared that I might not wake up again... Well maybe Leo knows how that feels.
That woman appeared in my dream.
"Who are you and what do you want?" I asked, too fed up to deal with anything- I mean, can't I get one normal dream.. Or better yet not dream of anything.
"I am Time and I have risen you back from the dead" The being got right to the point, and it was a little blunt if you ask me.
My grandfather told me about how I was in debt; something told me that this being didn't do it out of the kindness of her heart.
"I need a hero for a quest to save the universe, and you seem like the most promising candidate that might be successful"
Might be successful?
"Is it wrong to say I have no idea what you are talking about?"
"Of course let me explain, my mother is paradox but she faded long ago, but from her came my sisters and I."
Wait, there are more beings like her that don't have any emotion?
"I am the eldest, Time, the second is my little sister Space, then Soul, then Mind, Power, and the youngest Reality. We are infinity stones we hold infinite power in our domain, but because of that we can only be used as a tool, we are unable to use our own power."
questioning I asked, "So why is the universe in danger, also are all your sisters lacking emotion like you?"
"A being named Thanos once was able to take power and soul but they were recovered and put into non populated places in the universe; now Thanos is going to find the infinity stones and use us to destroy the universe in the name of death."
I froze at the name Thanos... No I will not deal with Thanos.
Time must of understand my train of though because she said, "Thanos is a deceitful being who has many powerful servants".
I scowled saying "yeah, my d- I mean Loki is one of them"
"Incorrect"
"What?"
"Incorrect; Loki was mind controlled by a powerful being, she is part of a species known for eating the minds of their victims"
I felt as if a rug was pulled from under me and I was falling a large drop, I kind of wanted to still punch Time in the face for looking so unaffected.
"Even though we are all powerful we all have defects or flaws. I lack feelings, I am unable to feel emotions. Space lacks memory. Soul is soft hearted. Mind is not very social. Power gets easily influenced, whether good or bad. Reality has a flaw to be prideful. You must find us all before Thanos does"
At first I was ready to jump forward and say yes, but then I remembered all of the pain I recently went through... I wondered if my dad even knew I was alive? How can I even stand against this being I mean I do know how to fight titans (they tend to want to show off and are a bit prideful), but this one seemed different, then again he is nicknamed the mad titan.
"There is no need to worry young one" said Time
"says the one who is unable to worry" I quip, she payed no heed and continue "I will make you my champion to help you find my sisters... do you accepted."
I was a little annoyed that she said it like a fact, like she somehow knew I was going to... oh, yeah she's Time, all most forgot.
This was a chance to heal, a chance to still have a dad.
Also Time like powers seemed pretty cool right now.
I took a deep breath and spoke out, "okay but I want to tell Tony and Pepper, they have a right to know".
She accepted the terms and-
I jerked awake to see my door knocked down... and the guy who wears the war machine crash in.
He got up and stared at me in confusing "Maximoff I swear, you better have not knock me out to the point of seeing things".
A girl came in with a red leather jacket she spoke in a eastern europe accent
"No, it seems Tony has forgot to tell us of a guest"
she sounded suspicion.
I looked at the dark skin man and all of a sudden I knew his name, James Rhodes, nice to know that I have some Time powers and now it will be impossible to fail a history test.
I noticed James starting to get suspicion to.
"Okay first off you broke that door not me so I am not paying for it, second off this is my uncle's tower"
.They stared at me like I was some alien (well my dad is a alien).
My uncle rushed in and froze, both of the avengers in training stared at tony.
"Ummm avenger's meeting?" tony suggested.
I laughed at his misfortune but he smile and said "What makes you think you're off the hook; now you get to meet the avengers
A.N- yep another chapter done
The score of which two infinity stones are the most powerful are below
Time- 10
Mind- 8
Reality- 3
Soul- 8
Space-4
Power-2
Also personal who do you think would make great friends with Percy, can you guys give me one reason why, because I want at least one avenger being close friends with Percy but I don't know who.
Tell me if you like it or not
