Thor's eyes opened slowly and he looked around the sun lit room, Loki was tucked under his arm safely. Nothing seemed out of place but there was something different about the room. He remembered the night before and he sat up quickly and Loki stirred.
"Thor? What is it?" He asked sleepily.
"What happened last night? Did she hurt you?" He lifted him up into his arms and looked over Loki's body.
"What? Oh, Admeta. No, she just touched my forehead after we put you to bed then I grew very tired." Loki yawned and Thor stared at him unconvinced. "Thor, I am fine. Stop worrying so much." Hel and Fenrir burst into the room at that very moment and jumped onto their bed.
"Papa! Father! It's time to get up!" They cried together, huge smiles were plastered across their faces, and they could not sit still.
"They've been like this for the past two hours." Steve said from the doorway. "I don't know what to do with them anymore." Thor and Loki smirked and slowly got out of bed. "Hey did you guys do something to your room? It looks different somehow." They all looked around the room. Something was definitely different, but they couldn't put their finger on what it was.
Tony and Pepper were sitting at the table staring at each other intently when Thor and Loki finally came out of the room. Hel and Fenrir giggled and ran past them over to the two silent humans who were deep in thought.
"Did you two figure it out yet?" Fenrir cried and Hel nodded with a huge grin on her face.
"Figure what out?" Pepper asked finally looking away from Tony. Thor and Loki shrugged their shoulders and made their way to the kitchen to find something to eat. Thor pulled on the fridge door and stared inside blankly for a while. Loki leaned against the counter and stared over at Tony, Pepper, and the twins. He crossed his arms and looked around the room. Something was definitely different.
"Tony? Did you rearrange the furniture?" He asked him interrupting Hel and Fenrir.
"What? No. You know I don't rearrange my furniture." He replied and stared at him strangely.
"Did you have someone rearrange your furniture. Something looks different around here." Bruce and Steve came down the hall at that moment and they looked around the room.
"Something does look… off, but I don't think it's the furniture." Bruce said fixing his glasses. Tony scanned the area and shrugged his shoulders.
"I don't know. Jarvis, can you see what is going on." He said and Jarvis answered with a simple: "Yes, sir."
"There problem solved. Now we'll know for sure if something is wrong." Tony smirked at everyone. Thor was still staring blankly into the large silver fridge.
"Thor?" Loki asked and his brow furrowed as he realized that Thor hadn't moved at all in the past few minutes. "Are you alright?" He went over and touched Thor's shoulder. He turned slowly and stared blankly into Loki's concerned façade, after a moment he realized that Loki was talking to him.
"Hmm? Oh, yeah. I'm fine. I think. What was I doing again?" Thor looked around the room and all eyes were on him. "What are they doing here? Where am I?"
"Thor? W-what are you talking about? We're at home." Loki grabbed his face and forced him to look him in the eyes.
"Who are you?" He asked and Loki stared at him in shock.
"Thor, you're scaring me. It's me. Loki. Your Loki." Thor's forehead creased in frustration trying to remember something.
"Who is this Thor? Am I Thor?" He grabbed his forehead and groaned in pain. "Why does my head hurt so much?" Loki's eyes prickled and he lost the feeling in his legs. Luckily, Steve caught him before he could collapse on the floor, Bruce grabbed Thor's arm and pulled him into his lab.
"Loki, breathe." Steve said pulling him into his arms. Hel and Fenrir stared at the kitchen with wide eyes before looking at each other.
"Did you see this happening today?" Hel asked Fenrir he shook his head back and forth. Tony and Pepper made their way over to Loki who was hyperventilating.
"Loki, calm down. Everything is going to be fine." Steve held a shaking Loki in his arms. Tony and Pepper pushed the hair from his face.
"Loki, look at me." Tony said, Loki slowly turned and stared into Tony's face. The light was gone from his eyes and his lip was quivering. "We are going to find out what happened to him and he will be back to normal before you can say 'mewling quim.' He gave him a small reassuring smile and Loki grimaced in return.
"What if he never remembers us? Oh gods." Loki's hand covered his mouth and his eyes began to water. "Hel, Fenrir?" He called looking around the room they ran to him instantly and hugged his waist.
"I have to go make a call." Tony said as Loki knelt and kissed his children repeatedly, Pepper and Steve steadied him. Tony made his was to Bruce's lab, Thor was lying on the bed looking around the room confused about what was going on and Bruce was holding his chin and staring at him with a puzzled expression. "Well, what have you found out?" Tony asked pulling Bruce from his thoughts.
"I don't understand what could have caused this. He has no memory of anything. He doesn't even know who his parents are." Bruce said making his way over to him.
"What the hell? He didn't hit his head did he?" Tony asked, they both looked over at Thor who was staring at his hands.
"No. There is no sign of cranial damage. There is nothing that could possibly explain this."
"Is there any way to fix it?" Tony asked praying that it would be a good answer.
"I don't know." Bruce said rubbing his eyes they both looked over at Thor he was looking at them with a confused expression.
"Is there something wrong with me?" He asked them finally.
"A bit, yeah." Tony said and Bruce pushed his side.
"We are going to find out what is going on, Thor." Bruce said carefully. Thor tilted his head to the side.
"Is that my name? It is a very strange name. Who was that man out there?" He asked and Tony made a sour face.
"His name is Loki and he loves you very much." Tony left the room quickly and made his way back to Loki and the others. He pulled out his phone and dialed Natasha's number.
"Stark? What's up?" She answered sounding a little out of breath.
"We need a lot of help. Are you busy?" He asked her, she was silent for a moment.
"Is it Loki?" She asked and he could hear Clint in the background. He was asking what was wrong.
"Not exactly. Something happened to Thor."
"What? What happened?" She asked and he could hear Clint getting louder and more worried.
"He forgot everything. He doesn't even know who he is." Tony looked over at Loki who could barely stand.
"WHAT?!" She screamed. "We'll be right there! Do you want us to tell Fury?"
"We probably should. Maybe he can help us." Tony sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. "Just hurry. I don't know what Loki is going to do. We need to keep an eye on him."
"We'll be right there." He hung up and made his way over to Loki and the others. Pepper was holding him and trying to soothe him.
"Shh. Loki, everything is gonna be okay. I promise." She said brushing the hair from his face. Hel and Fenrir were holding onto Steve's legs, whimpering.
"Loki, come." Tony said holding his hand out to the broken man that was Loki. He looked up at him with red puffy eyes and tear stained cheeks for a moment before holding out his hand to him. Tony lifted Loki off of the ground and helped him walk to Bruce's lab. Bruce was shining a light in Thor's eye when they got to the door.
"T-Thor?" Loki trembled staring at him, he looked over at the doorway and gave a small smile.
"Loki, right? I'm sorry. I don't remember you." A sob escaped Loki's lips and he almost collapsed onto the ground again, but Loki held him up.
"Come on. We'll come back later, Bruce. Nat and Clint are coming." Tony said over his shoulder and helped Loki back to the kitchen. He sat Loki at the table as a lightening bolt danced across the sky, a crack of thunder shook the mansion, and rain began to pour from the skies. Hel and Fenrir jumped into Steve's arms and his their faces in his neck.
"Hey, you guys are okay. God is just playing some crazy bowling up there." He soothed them, they looked up with huge eyes that were brimming with tears.
"Is daddy gonna be okay, Uncle Steve?" Fenrir asked him through sniffles.
"Of course he is. We aren't gonna let anything happen to him. You have all of our word on that." Steve kissed his forehead before another flash of light and rumble of thunder scared them. They both whimpered and hid in his neck again. Loki covered his mouth and sniffled, Tony grabbed his hand and squeezed it lightly.
"Hey, Loki. Look at me. We are all gonna get through this without any problems. You have my word on that." Pepper walked over and stood above him and nodded slowly.
"Loki. We are all going to figure this out together." She said before reaching over and cupping his cheek. "This effects us all, Loki. We are family."
"Why are you all so nice to me? Especially, since I tried to kill you all." Loki asked through tears.
"That was in the past. Plus, Thor trusts you with his life and we trust him. You are our family, Loki." Tony said leaning over and kissing Loki's temple.
A few hours later, Clint, Natasha, and Fury came. The rain was still pouring when they arrived. Loki sat on the couch unmoving and unseeing they slowly walked over to him and sat beside him.
"Loki?" Natasha said carefully and touched his shoulder, he turned and stared at her as another sobbing fit hit. He leaned over and rested his head on her shoulder, Clint wrapped his arm around Loki's shoulder. Fury stood next to Tony and Steve, who had finally got the twins to lay down for a nap.
"So, what does Dr. Banner have to say on this whole situation?" Fury asked them.
"He hasn't come out since he took Thor in there." Tony replied as he folded his arms in front of him.
"Want me to let him know you're here?" Steve asked and Fury nodded. Steve made his way to Bruce's office. He had his hand over his mouth and was staring at a sleeping Thor.
"I have no idea what to think, Steve." Bruce sighed and made his way over to him at the door.
"Fury and the others are here. Fury wants an update." Steve said putting his hand on Bruce's shoulder reassuringly. Bruce breathed heavily and followed Steve closely they walked into the living room to find Loki fast asleep between Clint and Natasha.
"Director Fury." Bruce said as he stood beside him.
"Well, Dr. Banner? What have you found out?" Fury said getting right to the point.
"Nothing. There is nothing wrong with him, he just forgot everything. I can't figure out why though. He didn't fall and hit his head or anything so there isn't anything I can really go on." Bruce explained as he removed his glasses and rubbed his eyes.
"Admeta." Loki shot up from his spot on the couch. The others looked at him confused.
"Admeta? Who's that?" Tony asked confused.
"She saved me from Sif when the twins went missing and Thor was in Asgard. She came into our room last night and touched our forehead and we grew very tired. Maybe she did something to us when she touched our forehead." He said rushing over to Bruce.
"But why do you still remember everything?" Steve asked him.
"I-I don't know. We should go talk to her though. She may know something!" Loki cried, there was a hopeful gleam in his eyes again.
"How do we find her?" Bruce asked and Loki looked at the ground disheartened.
"I don't know. She said that she was going to come again, but that could be…" Loki trailed off. They all looked at each other and sighed in frustration at everything.
