The meeting with the Queen was to discuss the boy's mortal form and how to allow them to change at will. Loki and Frigga worked the spell together, fine tuning it until it was perfect. Slepnir volunteered to be the test subject. As expected, it was perfect and the spell was cast over them all. Tony recorded the moment on his tablet. He had been taking lots of pictures lately since they would be returning to Midgard soon and wanted the kids to have memories of Frigga. They more than likely would not be coming back to Asgard. At the moment, mother and son were teaching them about magic. Slepnir wasn't all that interested, but paid attention anyway. Fenrir and Jormungandr however were riveted.
Steve and Sif remained with them but out of the way like Tony. "They truly are magnificent." Sif said quietly as she watched how quickly the boys grasped the knowledge given them.
"You think they're magnificent now, you should see them in their natural form." Tony snapped another photo of Jormungandr creating butterflies out of thin air. "They are good kids, misjudged because of what they were not who they were. No one gave them a chance." He muttered absently.
"It brings me much sorrow to think of all the time they have lost together because of the prejudice against them."
That's rich. Don't start Tony. He thought about Loki in his Jotun form. Shaking his head he continued, "Well, you can make it up to them now. Fenrir thinks you're pretty. You know, for a girl and all. He's shy though. Get to know them, they are pretty bad ass."
Sif look to Steve and nodded. He and Jormungandr seemed to bond quickly. "Do you think Loki will allow it? We have not treated them fairly. I would think he would be against it."
"Sif, if Loki had reservations about you befriending his kids, you wouldn't be here. None of us would." Tony said point blank.
"Uh, Tony?"
"Yeah, Cap?"
"Look up."
Tony was sitting cross legged on what he thought was the ground, however, he was floating about twelve feet off the ground. Setting the tablet down in his lap he stared out blankly at the kids. Jormungandr and Fenrir held their hands out towards him, while Loki whispered lowly behind them. Picking the pad back up he clicked another photo and began tinkering away on it. Frigga gave a small giggle as Tony looked up to find himself rotating upside down. His eyes fell on the wolf as he twisted his hand slowly. "Really? This is what we're doing here?" The boys laughed. "Haha, glad you are having a good laugh at my expense. " He smirked and shook his head. "Well, if you're going to do that then we need some mood music." Tony tapped the pad a couple of times and the Black Eyed Peas popped up. Not his usual go to tunes but it seemed to work. The kids liked it so that's all that mattered. "Seriously guys, can you put me up right? The blood is rushing to my head."
"Fenrir, be a dear and right your father's mortal."
There was a sudden loud knock at the door causing the boys to break their concentration leaving Tony to free fall. Loki quickly picked up the spell, setting tony lightly on his feet.
"You ok?" That was Steve.
"Yeah, except for the mild heart attack, I'm fine." Tony clutched his chest. Glancing over, he could see Loki chastising the boys about remaining focused and not being easily distracted. "Hey, it's ok. No harm, no foul." Tony couldn't tell if Loki was more pissed or worried. "It's ok." Loki nodded.
"My Queen, Prince Thor had returned from the hunt." The small guard earned a glare from Loki for the disturbance and an appreciative smile from Frigga.
"Excellent, tomorrow we shall feast." She said jubilantly. "There will be a great celebration!"
