A/N: I guess we should forget about this fic only being three chapters long.

Loki placed Gungnir in the pedestal and the energy of the Bifrost, like lighting, reached from the metal of the pedestal to the walls. Behind Loki, Heimdall was still frozen in the middle of his attack. It had been difficult to freeze him with the Casket, and Loki wasn't sure how long it would hold.
With a wave of his hand, the Destroyer became visible again and walked to the portal that the Bifrost had created.
"Kill them all." He needed time to deal with the current situation, and those four returning with Thor would just complicate things. And if the Destroyer actually killed them all? Ah, well, they were just traitors. He gazed at the figured of Heimdall behind him; he would deal with him later.
The Destroyer disappeared in the portal and Loki started to open a new one, this time to Jotunheim instead of Midgard.

Away from Puente Antiguo, some agents of SHIELD were inspecting the marks left behind by the latest alien landing. Agent Coulson took out the sunglasses shielding his eyes from the sun and kneeled to take a closer look at the marks.
"Call someone from linguistics," he said to another agent.
There was a rumbling above them, and the agents looked upwards. There had been a clear sky all morning, but now there were dark clouds starting to gather above them. Below their feet, the ground trembled slightly.
Then it was like something was launched down and the clouds touched the ground.

Saying that the last few days had been insane was an understatement. Her storm had turned out to be the Bifrost and a god from the myths had literally fallen from the sky; she had learned about the existence of other realms, that her theories were right and not as ridiculous as everyone insisted.
And now she had been told that demons and magic existed. Of course, Thor had confirmed himself that magic did exist… If it also existed in Earth, could that mean that there were people in her planet that knew how to open bridges? Perhaps she should ask Buffy after all this was solved.
"Something bad is going to happen," said Buffy next to her. The blonde woman was looking with narrowed eyes at Thor speaking with his friends.
"Excuse me?"
"Loki. His brother. He lied to Thor," she elaborated. "Of course, it goes with his title, but he told Thor that his father was dead."
"And that he was permanently banished," added Jane.
"Exactly."
"And because of this something bad is going to happen?"
"Loki is king now, right? He clearly wants to keep Thor away." Buffy nodded towards the Asgardians. "And now we have a surprise visit from his friends."
Jane rested against the desk behind her and sighed. Thor's family had some big issues if his own brother was acting like this towards him. And now that she thought about it, wasn't Loki supposed to be Odin's blood brother or something like that? How had the myths ended being so different from reality? So many questions about those myths...
In any case, they had to take care of the current problem first. What were the original terms of Thor's banishment? There might have been a way for Thor to return if Loki had felt the need to lie.
"Thor, listen to me, please!" exclaimed Sif. Thor shook his head, still trying to understand Loki's actions.
"It makes no sense, Sif," said Thor. "He's my brother, he wouldn't-"
"But he did! Something is wrong with Loki. You need to come back."
"He's a Frost Giant and you guys went on a killing spree on Jotunheim?" everyone turned to Buffy. She shrugged at them. "Just saying."
"Frost Giant?" said Volstagg. "I fear you're wrong. It's not your fault, of course. The stories told about us are very inexact."
"Okay... This is awkward," she looked at them. Jane thought she seemed to be a bit uncomfortable with the conversation now. "I may have or may have not known someone older than you that got curious when the war with the Frost Giants happened? She never talked much about her past, but she told us a couple things about Asgard: you're long lived aliens and the myths are wrong except for a couple of things."
The Asgardians looked at each other.
"The attack on the vault," said Hogun. "No one knows how they reached it."
"No," Thor stopped them from even thinking about that. "Even if what Buffy says it's true, he wouldn't betray Asgard. In any case, the idea that Loki is a Frost Giant is difficult to believe."
"Thor, if it's true..." started Fandral.
"It still changes nothing," said Thor in a firm tone that admitted no discussion.
"But-"
"Was someone else coming?" interrupted Darcy.
She was standing in front of the doors, looking at the desert in the distance where a group of clouds were reaching towards the ground. It looked like a tornado. When the clouds finally touched down and disappeared, there were a few moments of silence; but the calm didn't last and they saw an explosion taking place where the clouds once were.
"Loki," said Sif, already reaching for her weapon. "We need to take the townsfolk to safety."
"Thor, will you fight alongside us?" asked Fandral.
"My friends, I'm weak in this form. I would only get in your way," answered Thor. "I can, however, help with the town."
"I knew this day was being too peaceful," commented Buffy. She opened the doors and started to walk out.
"Where are you going?" asked Erik.
"I need to get something from my car," said the blonde woman. "I'll be back soon."

There was something different about the blonde Midgardian. A part of Sif insisted that the woman was dangerous and she didn't know how to feel about it. Of course, another part of her was enthusiastic at the presence of another female warrior.
"I fear that swords won't be of much use with this one," Sif told Buffy when she returned. In response, the blonde lifted the hand that wasn't holding a sword and showed her the object resting on it. It was a black box, with white lines on its sides forming some kind of runes that she couldn't identify. "What's that?"
"A gift from my best friend," answered the woman. "Willow gets bored sometimes and makes these things, she calls them boxed spells. Hopefully, this one will stop that armour long enough for everyone to get out of here."
"It won't stop the Destroyer for long," said Sif, walking towards the explosions that the walking weapon was causing. Before both of them, the Warrior Three lead the way.
"Let's hope is long enough to figure a way to stop it."
Buffy made a small cut in her thumb with her sword and traced one the white runes with her blood. The white lines started to glow with a red light.
"Boys, get down!" she exclaimed when the Destroyer came into sight. She threw the box towards the armour, hitting it in the chest. The box exploded with a white and red light against the chest of the armour. From the point of the explosion, something that looked like ice started to envelope the Destroyer until it was totally encased in something in the substance.
"Is it ice?"
"No, magic, but we do keep calling it that. You should ask Willow about it." Behind the cocoon created by the spell, an orange light could be seen. It was creating little cracks on the ice. "Okay, think quickly, because I don't think we have much time."
