Together

Eris looked around the room that held Loki's cell, it was plain and made of metal, most of the room being taken up by the cell and a walk way which spread all around it.

"I did wonder if it was you." Loki eventually spoke after an eerie silence had started, and he looked at her from where he sat on the bench.

"Do you really think that I would be a figment of your imagination? You might be an illusionist Loki, but even you aren't that good with your illusions."

"You wound me my love." He told her. "Can they hear us?"

"Yes, and they can most definitely see us." Eris replied as she walked to the edge of the gateway until she was at the door of his cell, though Loki never moved, his eyes watched her.

"Good." Loki nodded. "Eris, why are you here?"

"I've come to bring my husband home." As she said it, she walked through the door towards him, and she knelt down in front of him.

"I haven't got a home anymore." Loki told her, and this time he wasn't the sadistic murderous Loki, he was the fallen Prince of Asgard, timid and unsure.

"Yes you have, your home is with me and our children on Asgard."

"Children?" Loki suddenly asked, and he watched Eris nod.

"Yes, children, they are four months old, we have a son Nathaniel, it means 'King of Men' on Tartarus, and also a daughter Hellem, which means 'Peace' on Tartarus." Eris told him. "They both have Jotun skin, but my veins instead of runes, actually can I just show you instead?"

Loki thought about it for a moment, once won't hurt, and it had been so long, once he weighed up the options, he nodded and he closed his eyes sighing in content as he felt one of her hands take his and the other have its fingers press to his forehead.

In the scene, Eris was sitting on the balcony, watching the sun rise and give light to the whole of Asgard, and for once she seemed to be at peace with herself and everything around her. As she rested back, using her hands as her support, she closed her eyes and relaxed her body her shade features coming back into play, and she only opened them when the woman who had brought her out of her stint of unconsciousness walked onto the balcony.

"My lady?" The woman asked softly, she didn't look any older than when Loki would have last saw her, her face was still as soft and wrinkled as it had ever been.

"Yes?" Eris asked, moving to stand on her feet, facing her.

"The children are awake."The woman told her, and she stepped aside as Eris walked back into the room, to where the cradles were and she smiled at her children, though her eyes turned sad as she closed them.

"My lady, are you alright?"

"I'm fine…I just wish Loki was here, he would have loved this." She sighed, looking at her children, and she smiled at Nathaniel as he suddenly turned his whole body blue and his veins showed, his eyes finding his mother's.

"Why does he do that my lady, why does he turn blue?"

"Loki was a frost giant, so the blue is his father's blood." Eris explained. "It is an unlikely mix, but a mix all the same."

Loki gasped as Eris moved her hands away and took a step back, as he looked at her he noticed Eris wiping stray tears from her eyes.

"Why do you cry?"

At his words, Eris turned her back on him, and she furiously wiped her eyes. "I do not cry. But I needed you there Loki, I needed you to help me with our children."

"What I done and what I am doing is to build a life for all of us, have our own palace that our son will be there to inherit it, and you will be my Queen."

"I was your Queen in Asgard, and Loki you were a King, but a King cannot rule a kingdom which was won by force. I love you and that was without your kingdom, when you were just a prince."

"I wanted more for us Eris, you're meant to be a Queen, and I was sick of being in Thor's shadow!" He told her, standing up, he towered off his wife, but she never got scared of him, and she watched him walk to the other side of the cage, his hands clasped behind his back.

"I know, but I don't want to be Queen because I would have been away from you and our children. Loki just stop this attack and we can go back to how things were before. Please Loki, our children need you, I need you."

This made Loki stop, and he sighed, before he looked at her. "Eris, I can't go back to living in his shadow, I wanted to somehow have my own life." He told her as he rested a hand on her cheek, his sad eyes looking into hers as they held the same, if not more emotion than his own.

"Wasn't I enough for you?" Eris whispered, rested her head into his hand.

"You are all I ever wanted Eris, and more, but I wanted something that you and our children could be proud of." He told her, a stray tear falling down his own cheek. "I missed you so much."

"I missed you too Loki, but please you have to stop this." She told him, wiping his tear away, kissing his lips gently and soothingly, her mind telling him soothing words.

They stayed like that for a little while longer, before a threatening cry could be heard and this caused Loki to smirk, though he seemed upset when Eris moved away, and she noticed the smirk straight away.

"What have you done?" Eris asked him, just as a man walked in and pointed a gun at her.

"Move away." The man told her.

"Oh really, a mortal weapon against someone who can't die…I've seen worse." Eris told him. "Now do you mind, we were having a talk." She told him, but the man shot at her instead, watching as it went right through her, leaving a gaping hole through her stomach, which Eris just looked at. "Well, that looks bad."

Loki watched his wife, he had tensed when she had gotten shot, but he watched it from behind as it healed over completely. "You're really in trouble now." Loki muttered, smiling as Eris's swords suddenly pinned the guy to the wall in front of them. "Nicely done."

"I will deal with you shortly, try not to go walking." Eris told her, smiling softly before she disappeared, finding Natasha and a terrifying green creature. Natasha was running away from this green creature, and she looked scared, so Eris followed, and she caught up in time to see Natasha thrown into a wall by the creature and as Thor joined her, she looked over at the red head who was unconscious.

"Take her and heal her." Thor told her, as he suddenly slammed his full weight into the green creature, as Eris took Natasha's left shoulder and dragged her through a wall into another quieter room, where black mist swarmed around her hands and she healed the woman.

"Natasha, wake up." Eris whispered, as she shook her shoulder, watching as the redhead woke up. "Careful, you've had quite a knock to the head."

"I'm fine." She told her, just as she held out an ear piece to Eris, who slid it into her ear, just as Fury's voice sounded through, as there was a jolt as the aircraft started to fall from the sky.

"It's Barton, he took out our systems, he is heading for the detention level. Does anyone copy?" Fury's voice crackles through the earpiece, as Eris looked at the red head. She saw the look on Natasha's face, the woman knew this 'Barton' well, and she could see how much he meant to her.

"You go, I'll go and find the others." Eris told her, and she watched the redhead's movements.

"This is Agent Romanoff, I copy." She spoke as she touched the earpiece that was in her own ear, before she ran off leaving Eris on her own.

When Eris was completely alone, she touched her own ear and pulled out the earpiece before she started to speak. "Don't sneak up on me, it will do neither of us any favours."

"I know that." Loki told her, as he stepped out of the shadows.

"You're wounded." Eris commented, as she turned around to face him, noting the small cut on his forehead. "How did you get out?" She asked as she walked over to him.

"A little mind compulsion." He grinned. "Eris, join me." He told her, closing the gap between them and he gently put his right hand to her right cheek. "With me and you, together we could be untouchable."

"Loki, you know that I can't." She whispered, leaning into his hand. "If I am seen as a traitor, the Allfather will take away the children from me." She looked at him. "I need to be there for our children."

"Why are you here now if our children still need you?" Loki asked her quietly.

"To bring you home, to let you meet your son and daughter, to show Odin that you want to be with us." Eris told him. "It wouldn't be for long, I could try and get you away from Asgard, somewhere where it can be just me, you and our children."

"That is what I am trying to do Eris." Loki told her. "I know that it's not the best way, but this is the way which I can. I can build a world for me, for you, and for our son and daughter." He whispered, his face moving ever so closer to hers.

"I can't change your decision, but maybe I could show you what you've missed." She whispered, sliding her fingers into his, and she pulled him closer in a quick movement and she made them appear in a darkened room, alone and shielded from everyone.

When Eris was sure that they wouldn't be disturbed, her lips found his in a fervent and hungry kiss. The sound of lustful pleasure which came from Loki at the kiss, only spurred his wife on to deepen in, letting him feel how much she had missed him whilst he had been gone. She smirked to herself as she felt herself be pushed up against a wall, and she hitched her legs up around his waist, her hands knotting in his hair, as she felt the kiss turn rougher and his hand grabbed her hair in a tight fist. However, she whimpered when the kiss stopped, and she opened her eyes, not even realising that they had slid closed, and she looked at him as he spoke.

"We don't exactly have time." He whispered, his lips millimetres from hers, his eyes looking into hers.

"Yes we do." She whispered. "Please Loki, it's been too long for us to be apart." She gently stroked the back of his neck with the tips of her fingers, smiling as she heard his intake of breath as that aroused him further.

"Alright, but it will only be quick and I won't be gentle." Loki warned her.

"It's okay." She whispered, and she smiled when she felt her armour disappear as well as his clothes, and she found herself pinned to the table that was in there. She looked up at him as she felt the coldness of the table on the skin of her back, and she smiled as he stood above her, his pale muscled chest close to hers as he positioned himself keeping her legs tight around his waist.

"I've missed this." He whispered when his lips were close to hers, and as their lips finally connected she gave a muffled gasp as he pushed himself inside her, starting a hard and fast rhythm, which wasted no time in having them both moaning in pleasure, until with a shout they both gave in to their mind shattering orgasms and he collapsed on top of his wife, trying to catch his breath as she stroked his hair.

Seconds went by, before Eris and Loki pulled their clothes on, Loki helping his wife with her armour and pressing numerous kisses to her body as he done so.

"I don't enjoy hurting you Eris." Loki told her, when she eventually faced him, her swords now attached to their holsters.

"I know that, but we will look past this my love, I promise." She kissed him gently, before she pulled out a dagger that had been strapped to her sandal.

"What are you doing?" Loki asked, raising an eyebrow at her, before he winced as she pressed the tip of the dagger to her lip and cut her lip. The sight of his wife hurting herself for what he knew was his benefit, was enough for Loki to grab the dagger and throw it away from her. "Don't do that."

"My story needs to look believable, you know what would happen if Thor knew that I had been here with you." Eris looked at him and her dagger shot back into her hand. "Now go, quickly." She watched him disappear, before she sighed and went back through the wall and was found by Rogers.

"Eris, there you are!" He walked over to her. "Where have you been?"

"Oh, Captain, I was distracted." She told him, her lie sounding sincere – a trick that she had picked up from her husband for sure. "There was a guard who stayed, but don't worry, I got rid of him." She wiped the blood from her cut off with her thumb.

"I can see that." He noticed the blood. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, you should have seen the other guy." She smirked. "So, what happens now?"

"Well, Thor and Banner are missing," He told her as they walked towards where Fury was, along with Stark who was sat at the large round table. "But we got Barton back."

"Right, well that's slightly worrying." Eris told him, and she walked to the table, taking a seat, as Rogers sat next to her, both of them looking at Fury who as still standing.

"These were in Coulson's jacket." Fury started, looking at something that was in his hand. "I guess he never did get you to sign them." With his final word, he threw something in front of Rogers, and Eris could see that they were pieces of card with pictures on them, and blood staining parts of them. She looked up just in time to see Stark stand up and leave the table, Rogers following him, leaving Eris, Fury and Agent Hill at the table in silence.

After a few moments of silence, Agent Hill looked at Eris who had her head down on the table, her arms covering it, and she noticed Eris' veins show up. "Eris, do you want to come and train?"

Eris looked at the woman, and she nodded quietly, getting up and leaving the room with the Agent as Fury followed in curiosity. When they got to the training room, Eris still didn't realise how magnificent it was. There were metal contraptions everywhere, as well as soft things to practice on, a few target practices and even a space for hand to hand combat.

"Would you like to take part in some hand to hand combat with me?" Agent Hill asked, as she took off her gun holster, and Eris nodded doing the same with her swords. Fury stood next to where the two woman had placed their weapons, and he watched them walk to the centre of the mat, as Eris clasped her hands together and ended up opening them again with a black slither in her hands.

"Swallow this." Eris told Agent Hill, what had the woman give her the most confused look ever. "I hit pretty hard, I wouldn't want to permanently injure you." She explained, and she watched the woman shiver as she swallowed it. When she was sure that the woman was okay, they started to fight, Eris and Hill were both pretty good at their hand to hand combat, despite Eris never really using this skill as much as Agent Hill did.
