Here is chapter 13!

I do not own any characters unfortunately.

Loki stood outside the private elevator with Thor, Tony, and Jane. Clint, Natasha, Bruce, and Steve had already gone up. A few seconds later, the elevator doors finally opened and the group of four climbed in.

"Jarvis, to the Family Floor please," Tony said.

"Of course sir," Jarvis replied, the elevator starting up a second later.

"So Loki, what was up with you and that kid at the zoo?" Tony asked.

Loki shrugged,"He wanted an autograph."

Tony chuckled. The rest of the short ride was quiet. When the elevator doors opened, they made their way into the kitchen where the rest of the team, including Pepper and Phil, stood.

"So, how was the zoo?" Pepper asked.

There was a chorus of "Fine" and "Good." Pepper rolled her eyes before turning to Loki. "So Loki-"

A loud shatter sounded from the living room. Loki flinched back as everyone except Bruce, Pepper, Jane, and he ran to find the source.

"My friends!" Thor's voice boomed a few seconds later. Loki furrowed his brow and walked into the living room, Bruce, Jane, and Pepper following him. Volstagg, Fandral, and Hogun stood in the living room, infront of a pile of shattered glass and a broken window.

"What is it with you Asgardians and breaking my windows?!" Tony yelled. Pepper sighed and walked back out of the room, pulling her cell phone out in the process.

"I am sorry Man of Iron, I did not mean to break your window," Volstagg said.

"Volstagg, Fandral, Hogun, these are Tony, Steve, Bruce, Clint, Natasha, Phil, and Jane," Thor said motioning to each of them in turn. Fandral smiled charmingly at Natasha, earning a growl from Clint and making Natasha roll her eyes. Loki almost laughed at Fandral's attempts.

"If you don't mind me asking, why are you guys here?" Steve asked.

"The AllFather wishes for Thor and Loki to see him in Asgard," Volstagg said, glancing to where Loki stood at the back of the group. Loki tensed and took a step back. Asgard? There was no way he was going back to Asgard. He felt his hands shaking and clenched them into fists at his side, his knuckles white.

"Loki Laufeyson -" Odin paused for a moment as he looked at his two sons. "for your atrocious and intolerable acts against Asgard, Midgard, and Jotunheim, you will be sent back to your 'allies' and they may punish you as they deem fit."

The memory flashed through Loki's mind, seemingly on replay. Odin would just send him back, he wouldn't even care to hear what had happened in the first place. All he would see would be an escaped prisoner that still had a life sentence to be served.

Loki heard Thor's voice, it brought him back to reality but his hands continued to shake. "What for?"

Volstagg shrugged. "I know not the cause, simply that he wishes to see you."

"And what of the team?" He asked, gesturing towards them.

"He said they can come if they wish," Fandral provided.

Thor nodded to them. "Thank you, we will make preparations at once." The Warriors Three nodded before walking out onto the balcony and leaving in a flash of golden light.

The team turned to face him. Thor took a step toward him, opening his mouth to say something but Loki only flinched and stepped back. Thor sighed.

"Loki, if the AllFather wishes to see us, we must at least find out why," Thor said.

Loki shook his head.

"We'll go with you," Tony said, gesturing towards the team. "Well, I will for sure but I bet everyone else if dying to see Asgard." They all nodded their agreement in the matter.

Loki looked warily back at Thor. "I don't know..."

"Come on, we'll all be there and you'll have nothing to worry about," Thor gave him a big smile.

Loki looked down but gave a nod, just the slightest tilt of his head.

Thor smiled even wider, if that was possible. "We make preparations at once then."

Half an hour later, everyone except Pepper (who insisted she was too busy to take a vacation at the moment), stood in the living room.

"So, everyone ready?" Steve asked. They all nodded, except Loki. He just stood there, looking at the floor, his hands still clenched into fists at his side. Steve clapped a hand on his shoulder and smiled at him before following everyone out onto the balcony. Loki walked out more slowly but otherwise came to stand with the group.

"Heimdall, open the Bifrost!" Thor boomed and within seconds, a golden light enveloped them. Seconds later, they landed in the Bifrost. Steve, Thor, and Loki were the only ones that were able to remain steady when they landed, they all steadied the others of the team to keep them from falling. Loki nearly laughed at how easily they became unbalanced. After they had regained a bit of balance they stared at the golden interior of the Bifrost.

"Good day, my princes," A deep voice addressed them. They turned to see Heimdall standing at the top of the steps in the Bifrost.

"Heimdall," Thor gave a bow of his head.

"I'm hardly your prince anymore, good Heimdall," Loki said softly.

"Loki!" Thor said harshly. "Do not speak of yourself like that!"

Heimdall gave a short laugh. "It matters not how you regard yourself, you are still my prince despite what others may think of you."

Loki gave him a short nod before walking out onto the Bifrost, the others close behind him. He looked out over the beauty of Asgard and wished he was happier to see it but the good memories of his childhood were replaced by those of him being sent back to the Chitauri. The team was obviously captivated by the beauty of Asgard as it took them a few seconds to start walking again, their eyes still trained on the golden skyline. Loki slowed so that he walked closer to the middle of the group, effectively shielded by Thor infront of him, Bruce behind him, and everyone else spanned out around him. As they walked through the village, they earned more than a few stares. Clint and Natasha both had their weapons on them, Tony was carrying one of his suits that was in the shape of a suitcase, and Steve had his shield strapped to his back. It was close to ten minutes later before they reached the palace, its golden walls looming over them. Loki stopped just outside of the palace doors. He was reluctant to actually go in. It took a bit of urging from the team before he slowly walked inside, still in the middle of the group.

"Do you guys use anything other than gold to build with?" Clint asked as they walked down the halls.

"Of course," Thor said. "We use many metals, minerals, and woods."

They came to a stop in the large throne room, just a few meters from the actual throne where Odin sat, Frigga standing by his side. The shaking of Loki's hands had advanced now, throughout his body, and it took most of his control to keep from turning and running out.

"My sons," Frigga said happily. She quickly gave Thor a hug and kissed his cheek before pushing through the small group and hugging Loki too. She placed a hand on his cheek. "It's okay." Loki gave a short nod before returning his gaze back to where Odin sat. Frigga still stood by his side and Bruce on the other with his hand also on Loki's shoulder.

"Father what is it you wished to see us for?" Thor cut to the chase.

Odin sighed wearily. "There is a matter of great importance that must be taken care of."

Loki noticed Frigga furrow her brow. She must not know anything about the situation he spoke of either.

"And that would be?" Thor asked suspiciously.

Odin looked to Loki, with a slight hint of sadness written across his face. "I'm sorry," He said.

A loud voice behind them chuckled, sending shivers up everyone's spines and causing Loki to freeze in place. "I doubt it."

I'm so sorry Loki! I'm so sorry. *dies of sadness*
