There are a lot of questions that get answered in this chapter but there is also a few more questions that will hopefully be answered in the next few chapters. Let us know what you think and maybe leave what you think will happen next. Smooches, lovelies.

It hadn't been long when he noticed that the twins had gone missing. It was only about an hour later that Loki went looking for them and he realized that they were not in the mansion.

"THOR!" He screamed went he had searched every where.

"Loki? What is wrong?" Thor ran into the room with everyone in tow.

"They are gone! I can't find them anywhere! I have searched everywhere!" Tears ran down his cheeks.

"Loki… slow down who is gone?" Thor asked pulling Loki into an embrace.

"The twins!" Thor's eyes grew wide.

"What?" Tony asked stepping forward.

Questions and accusations started flying. Tony just stood there the entire time looking stricken. Loki started crying hysteria bubbling up from within. Thor set him down on the couch before calling for order.

"Look I'll go to the Allfather. Perhaps he has some idea of what is going on. Also why Fenrir has suddenly changed back to a little boy after growing so rapidly."

"I'm staying here." Thor turned around to gawk at Loki.

"You cannot stay here alone!"

"I need to be here in case they come back! Do not question my reasoning! Just go and talk to father, Thor!" Loki turned away from him as another sobbing fit hit him.

"Very well. I shall return soon." Thor clenched his fist as he bent down to kiss Loki's forehead. "Calm down, Loki. If they are anything like us…" He didn't finish his sentence because Loki gave him a small reassuring smile.

"Go… before I change my mind." Loki pushed Thor away with his one hand as he wiped his tear streaked face with the other.

….

Thor rushed through Asgard trying to find his father.

"FATHER!" Thor called when he finally gave up on searching him out.

"Thor? What are you doing here? Has something happened?" Frigga asked after embracing him.

"Mother, where is father? It is urgent that I speak with him." She nodded and started to walk with him following at her heels.

"He has been in deep thought for a few days now. Are you alright? You are shaking, dear." Thor was quiet for a long time before finally finding the words.

"The twins disappeared, Fenrir's body is now it's proper size. I do not know what to think anymore, mother. I need to see if father knows any reasoning as to why this is all happening." Frigga stopped dead in her tracks.

"What?" Odin asked breaking the silence.

"Father! Please I am need of your wisdom. I have an idea where the twins are… but I want to be sure."

"That can wait… did you say that Fenrir's body went back to it's proper size?"

"Yes..? Why is that of such importance at the moment? Do you know something, darling?" Frigga spoke finally.

"Father?" Thor asked after Odin had been silent for a long time.

"Does he have something that he cares about deeply?" Odin asked finally after staring into the distance for what seemed like an eternity.

"He cares about many things."

"Thor, come with me we have many things we need to discuss. Where is Loki?"

"He stayed on Midgard in case the twins returned." Odin rushed off quickly. Frigga and Thor followed him obediently, none of them noticed the person who had overheard their conversation from the shadows. Nor had they seen the person run off to find Hiemdall.

Tony and Steve paced back and forth in front of Loki trying to understand where the twins would go.

"Loki, have they said anything strange in the past few days?" Steve asked after nothing came to anyone's mind.

"No, nothing… they have hardly been in the same room for the past few-" Loki froze. The one time he remembered them being together played over and over again in his mind. "Oh no."

"What is it? Have you figured something out?" Steve asked kneeling next to him.

"When Thor returned from Asgard, Fenrir asked for Hel and they were speaking strangely. I did not understand the meaning of their words."

"What did they say?" Tony asked kneeling beside Steve.

"Fenrir asked Hel if she had seen it Hel asked if he meant about what would happen if they sat their idly. I asked what they were speaking of and they looked at me and said the future. Before, I could ask them any further Thor had returned and asked to speak with me alone."

"Did they speak of anything else when you returned?" Tony asked again.

"No, but we left them alone for a long time they most likely made a plan to go and…"

"Save Pepper!" Steve and Tony finished his sentence for him as they jumped off of the floor.

"They're probably at the warehouse where I thought they were holding Pepper!" Tony said rushing to suit up in his armor.

"Sir, there is someone at the door with a bag over their head." Jarvis said suddenly.

"What?" They all asked in unison. Tony slowly made his way to the door. He slowly opened the door. The person with the bag over their head fell into his arms.

"Tony…" She whispered as he lifted the bag off of her head.

"Pepper? What did they do to you?" Bruises and dried blood covered her face. Her left eyes was swollen shut. Tony stared at her for a long time rage growing and tears filling his eyes.

"Tony, let me take her." Steve asked standing over them slowly grabbing Pepper out of his arms.

"Whoever that bitch was is gonna get it." Tony said clenching his fists as he stood.

"Wait, it was a woman who did this?" Loki asked as he made room for Pepper on the couch.

"I must have forgotten to mention that." Tony said as he began to suit up. He hissed as he touched one of his wounds.

"Stark, I would advise you not do that right now." Steve said walking up to him trying to help out of what he had already put on.

"She might move the twins if we do not hurry!" Tony protested.

"Tony… Don't." Loki said grabbing Tony's arm.

"I have only seen this one other time." Odin said finally, breaking the silence that had loomed over them for a long time.

"Darling?" Frigga asked touching his hand.

"This sometimes happens to Frost Giants when they find someone that they need to protect."

"What do you mean, Father?" Thor asked not understanding what he meant.

"Has anyone that he is close to been through a great ordeal recently?"

"The only person I can think of is when Pepper and Tony broke up but that was…" Thor's eyes grew wide. "Right before he started to age rapidly."

"I think I understand what is going on now." Odin sighed.

"What is it, darling?"

"When did he start to look like a child again?"

"It started when we arrived on Midgard… right before Pepper was kidnapped." Thor was clenching his fists.

"If what you are telling me is true, he only started aging rapidly because it was what they both needed to grow closer and when she was kidnapped and Tony found out he realized his true feelings. There is something about their relationship that he feels the need to kindle." Thor stood there for a long time contemplating what he was speaking. "It could be anything, but it is most likely that they are to have the child that he will spend the rest of his life with. If it is not that then they will lead him to the person is meant for."

"Father, do you know where the twins are?" Thor asked after being silent for a long time.

"Hiemdall may. Go ask him and you may want to hurry. Things are about to be shook up." Odin was staring off into the distance.

….

Tony stared at Loki and patted his hand before looking at the ground.

"Loki, this is all my fault. If I wouldn't have left Pepper here alone, none of this would have happened."

"You're right," Tony looked up at him. "She would have been taken at another point in time and we probably would not have even known she was taken until they made the demands." Loki rested his hand on Tony's shoulder.

"I know, but I'm just hurting everyone I care about. I even hurt the most important person in my life." He said looking over at Pepper. "What is the point of being a superhero if you can't protect what you treasure most in this world?" A sob escaped Pepper's mouth.

"Tony…" He rushed over to her.

"I'm here." She looked at him and touched her face.

"I love you." She whispered before falling back asleep.

"I love you."

….

"Are you sure, Hiemdall?" Thor asked shocked.

"Are you questioning me, Thor Odinson?" Hiemdall turned and glared at him.

"I suppose not. Send me back. I need to save my children." He was gone as fast as he arrived.

"Good luck, my son." Odin said behind Hiemdall suddenly.

Thor flew through the skies and burst into the small shack that he knew they were at. The twins were on beds, the room almost looked like a hospital.

"Father…" They spoke in unison he rushed over to them ripping the straps that held them down and pulled them into his arms.

"Hel, Fenrir. Are you alright?" He asked through kisses that he showered them with.

"Do you really think I would hurt your children," There was a long pause. "Thor?" Jane stepped out of the shadows.

"Jane, why have you done this?" He stepped between her and the twins.

"They are fascinating, Thor. We can learn so much from them."

"What do you mean?"

"Certainly you know how powerful your own children are." She said stepping closer to him.

"How do you even know about them?" He avoided her question.

"Thor, don't you know what my field of work is? I know whenever you come to Midgard, but something changed when you started bringing them. Readings were off the charts. I just had to see what was so amazing, so when you started making regular trips I would follow you and make observations, but I needed to see them in person." She touched his arm lightly. "Who's their mother, Thor?"

"Loki gave birth to them." She began to chuckle.

"Really? That explains so much. I must meet your, Loki." She looked back at the twins. "Do you want to go see Loki, children?"

"Yes." Fenrir spoke for all of them.

"Very well. Thor, you and your children may leave, but I do enjoy these visits. Please bring them back so that I can run more tests." She ran her fingers across his cheek, he turned and picked the twins up and flew off quickly without responding.

…..

Loki decided to go for a walk to clear his mind, everything was just happening so quickly it made his head throb. He enjoyed walking in the fresh air it reminded him of home, he found a small wood and decided to walk through it. It reminded him of the walks he used to have with the twins when they were very small. He took a deep breath when he had walked through the trees for a long time and decided it was time to start heading back.

"Loki." The familiar voice spoke a few yards ahead of him and there she stood in a clearing of trees.

"Sif, what are you doing here?" He asked when he got closer and saw her face.

"Thor and the Allfather sent me. They said that you needed help to find your children."

"Is Thor not come back with you?" He asked hopeful that Thor was somewhere on the same realm as he was again.

"No, he had something he needed to handle." Loki's eyes drained of their light and hope.

"Oh, I see. Are the warriors three with you?"

"It is only me, and since you are alone…" She stopped speaking for a while before lunging toward him too quickly for him to react. "I'll kill you here and now!"

Thor. He saw Thor and the twins' faces as he closed his eyes waiting for death to welcome him with open arms.
