Author's Note: Sorry if this story is updated slower then the other one. I have school now and a LOT of homework. I'll write as fast as I can, and try to include a better pot.

Disclaimers: I do not own any of Marvel's characters. I do own my Loki, a few others, the plot and the some of the backstory, including my Loki's past.

Thanks for reading.

Chapter 2 LoA145

Clint stretched as he padded into the kitchen. Everyone was still asleep, except for Steve who had already woken up and eaten. He glanced at the radio set on its own table in the kitchen. Tony had built it after Loki had left five years ago. Every week Thor would drop by asking if they had heard word from his brother. Every week they had to remind him that Loki was not really his brother and say no they had not heard from him. Thor always looked more then a little sad at the news but would brighten up and say maybe next week Loki would be back.

Personally Clint didn't think Loki would ever be back, but he couldn't break Thor's heart with that information. Loki had left and as far as he knew space was large, even if Loki came back it might be years from now. There was a slight bit of static from the radio and Clint turned the volume off so he could eat his breakfast in peace.

Three hours later Thor had dropped by to check if Loki had shown up yet. Stark had said no Loki hadn't, and Steve convinced Thor to stick around a bit, so when Fury told them to get to headquarters, aka. The Helicarrier.

"Director what do you need us for," Steve asked.

"You'll see," Fury replied cryptically, "We have an issue I believe the Avengers will be able to handle. Just bring Stark, Banner, Barton, Romanoff and you Captain, the other Avengers are not needed."

"What about Thor sir. He's currently here."

"If Thor's there then by all means bring him along," Director Fury said.

"I'll be there," Thor said.

"Good," Fury said, "Report in immediately."

"J.A.R.V.E.S. hang up the phone please. Talk to you later Director," Tony said. "I wonder what that is all about."

"Let us go see," Thor said, "Perhaps my brother has returned, or your war leader needs our help keep the peace."

"If Loki came back wouldn't he just show up here," Natasha asked, curling her fingers into Clint's. She wore an engagement ring on the right hand. "It would be nice if he was back."

"What would depend," Steve said as they emerged on the roof from the elevator. They headed for the helicopter stationed there and piled in. "If he is back he must have a permit to land."

"So," Tony asked shrugging.

"He would follow the law," Steve said as if it was obvious. "He would go to Fury because that is who he gave his papers to the last time."

"My brother would obey the law man of iron," Thor broke in.

"Do we have to remind you again that Loki is not your brother," Clint asked from the copilot seat.

"He is," Thor said, "He will always be my brother."

"Well we are here," Natasha said landing the helicopter on the runway. They climbed out of the vehicle and followed Agent Hill to the main meeting room. There were three people there already. One was Fury, the other was clad in a thick heavy cloak that hid his figure and the third was a familiar figure, wearing battered blue jeans and a white t-shirt. His black cloak was draped over a nearby chair but it was not needed for them to recognize the person.

"Brother," Thor cried out joyfully. He rushed over and embraced Loki in a tight hug. "You came back. I told everyone you would."

"I am sorry it took so long. For me it's been one year but Mr. Fury has informed me that it has been five years on Earth."

"How long can you stay," Thor asked. "I want to show you my home, and Natasha and Clint are going to get married."

"Thor," Steve interjected, "I think they wanted to tell Loki that on their own. So Loki what are you doing back here?"

"I am required to stay on this planet for a while," Loki said. "The Council wishes to set up a trade relationship with Earth and since I am already familiar with the planet I was required to become the ambassador."

"So who is the person in the cloak," Tony asked. "And you are wearing the shirt I gave you." He was smiling at the 'I Love NY' shirt Loki had on.

"Officer Akenent," Loki replied, "He is here to set up the treaty and negotiate terms."

"Loki where is Sasha," Natasha interrupted, looking around for the red cat.

"In the basket," Loki replied. "She's a little temperamental she had kittens a month ago and does not like people nearby them."

"Kittens," Natasha asked. She headed over to the basket and carefully lifted the lid. "Oh, they're so cute."

"No they are not," Loki muttered under his breath. "They keep setting my socks on fire."
