Chapter 5
"Sir, I have two matches on Loki." J.A.R.V.I.S. said.
Sam and Dean inhaled sharply on spotting this man.
"You recognize him?" Tony asked. They both nodded and Sam whispered "It's Gabriel.
"J.A.R.V.I.S., what are the percentages on the matches?" Tony asked.
"The man farthest to left is at a 86.73% and the man on his right is a 75.32% match." J.A.R.V.I.S. answered. Thor studied the picture and said "The man to the left is definitely Loki. I believe the other is a new recruit to the guards in the palace on Asgard. I think his name was Tyr." Tony cast a quick nod his way before moving to his suit.
"Where was this picture taken?" Tony asked. Sam and Dean turned to watch as he fired up the suit without stepping in. Sam let out a low whistle and Dean snickered at his brother.
"It was taken in L.A. Sir. The northernmost Taco Bell." Tony smirked and had the suit shrink into its luggage size.
"Looks like we're heading to L.A." Tony said.
…
Loki glanced around the odd Midgardian establishment as Gabriel ordered their food. Tyr seemed more relaxed, as if he had been there before.
"Have you been here before?" Loki asked in a low whisper, casting his gaze to the camera's in the corner. Tyr shook his head and stepped closer, so slightly as to be mistaken for a shift of weight to any prying eyes. "I've lived on Midgard before. These establishments are all throughout the world, in various cities. I find the food quite enjoyable." He whispered in response.
"Come on guys. Let's find a table." Gabriel said and Tyr lead them to a table in the table that gave them full view of both doors. Loki nodded approvingly and sat beside him. Gabriel sat across, handing them both odd paper cups. "Go get your drinks. I'll wait for the food." Loki frowned.
"Just follow me, I'll explain." Tyr said. They walked to a large metal box. Tyr explained the process to Loki in hushed whispers as the other costumers avoided them. As they sat down once more, Loki sipping on a refreshing lemonade, the door to their right open. Loki's eyes widened as Tony Stark stepped in, closely followed by Thor and two large Midgardian men. He quickly cast a weak glamor to cover Tyr and himself. Tyr raised a questioning eyebrow, but allowed him magic to settle over him. They now looked slightly different than before. Loki quickly realized he couldn't keep the glamor in place as it dropped and Tony spotted him.
"Rock of Ages, it's been a while. What are you doing on Earth?" Tony asked. Gabriel stood and faced the Midgardians as Loki made to stand. Tyr held him in place and turned his gaze to Gabriel.
"Moose, Squirrel, what a not so pleasant surprise. What brings you to L.A.?" Gabriel asked. The taller of the two glared at him and asked "Why are you helping Loki? Aren't you already impersonating him?" Loki frowned at this as Thor sat across from him. Tony took the seat to Tyr's right and Gabriel reassumed his seat. The Midgardians sat to Thor's right, jutting out slightly from the strange group.
"You were impersonating me?" Loki asked Gabriel. The archangel shrugged and turned to Tony. "You're Tony Stark, right?" When Tony nodded Gabriel continued before he could say anything. "You're all right, for a human. Living the high life. That's the way I like it." They both smirked and shook. Thor cleared his throat and addressed Tyr.
"What happened? Weren't you on duty when you both disappeared?" Tyr sighed and ran a hand over his face. "Yes, I was. I almost wish I wasn't." When Thor and Loki both frowned he elaborated.
"I was hoping to escape with Loki in a much . . . quieter fashion. Maybe get a watch on my own, set up a glamor of him that would last a few days, and disappear to some distant, unknown realm and hide out for a few decades while the Convergence blows over. Now I'm stuck on Midgard, injured, Loki questioning my trust, and an overly caffeinated archangel. Now Stark, and probably S.H.I.E.L.D., and two hunters are on my ass." Loki chuckled and Tyr shoved him into the wall slightly.
"Aw, you know you love this overly caffeinated archangel." Gabriel said, smirking at the young Asgardians. They both smirked back and Dean scoffed.
"I don't think anyone but Cas could ever love your candy ass. He's going to flip when he finds out you're alive." Dean said. Gabriel frowned and pointed an accusing finger at the hunter. "He can't know. I'm trying to protect him and Balthazar. You can't let them know." Both hunters nodded, silently disagreeing with the archangel.
"Why don't we head back to my place and sort this all out?" Tony asked. Gabriel shook his head and smiled. "My place is closer."
Well, this was faster to write than I thought it would be. Castiel will show in the next chapter, as well as another one (or more) of the Avengers. I haven't decided exactly who I want to show up, yet. Review or Dean will find you passed out in a crashed Impala with beer bottles in the passenger seat. I wouldn't want to be you.
