***Loki's P.O.V***

I haven't a clue what on earth happened… all I knew was that I had just woken up on a sofa. The last thing I remember was the sound of a thousand shots… and now here I am in Jane's room… was I shot?

Well, I knew that I was under a blanket. My head was covered; it was day time; I could see the light through the blanket. The rattle of plates were audible not too far away. It sounded like someone was cooking. Then, it sounded like someone was taking food to another room. It scared me. Sitting up, I looked over to see that I was in Jane's apartment. Jane was at the door to her bedroom, holding a platter of food. Unaware of me, she opened the door and took the food in. I got up, my chest hurt, but it wasn't unbearable. It felt like I had several bruises on my head and arms, but that wasn't what I was worried about. Who was Jane taking the food to?

The blanket was tossed aside, on the sofa floor, and I slowly walked over to Jane's room. When I was halfway there, I heard a sob; Darcy's sob, soon muffled by Jane. Running, I reached the door and peered in. Darcy was in Jane's arms, sobbing her eyes out and it looked like Jane was crying too…

"He's gone, Darcy… dead," Jane sniffled.

"No, no he's not! He can't be! He's not dead!" Darcy shrieked.

Suddenly, I thought- where is Thor? My heart sank. What happened? SHIELD aimed their guns at me; Thor was next to me… I told them he was innocent-didn't they lower their guns to him? Where was Thor?! Did they kill him? Thinking that horrible thought, I almost began sobbing myself. They couldn't have killed him. He was my big brother and as much as I acted like I didn't, I loved him!

"Where is my brother?" I asked from my door.

Both Darcy and Jane turned to me. Jane screamed and ran to the opposite end of the room; Darcy stared at me with red eyes, then flung herself off the bed, and ran to me. She clashed into me with more strength than Thor or any Asgardian hug I'd ever experienced, and she was on me, bawling into my arms.

"Thank God you're alive! I knew you wouldn't leave me," she whispered in my arms.

"What happened?" I asked.

"You died! You're dead! I saw them shoot you, how are you alive?! You had no pulse…" Jane screamed.

"Frigga," I whispered.

Odin found me. He had taken me with Frigga… he was going to have me seek revenge and kill he who killed me- Agent Coulson! So I would kill him one day, how brilliant.

"Loki, are you alright?" Darcy whimpered.

"I'm fine," I murmured, "Odin brought me back. He made a bargain with the ruler of the underworld."

"Thank goodness. It was all my fault. If I hadn't gotten myself kidnapped… or suggested we come here… I am really just a stupid Migardian," Darcy cried.

Gently at first, she shook in my arms, but gradually her shakes grew more violent. Carrying her, I took her to the living room where I sat, but she just stood there crying.

"Jane, where is my brother?" I demanded.

"He's out talking with SHIELD. He should be back-"

Heavy stomps sounded from the hall of the apartment. The door nearly fell off its hinges as it opened, and Thor stood in the doorway-stunned. Thankfully, I turned my eyes on him.

"Brother," Thor and I said at the same time.

Half running, Darcy and Jane fled out of the way. Thor ran at me, and I accepted his giant bear hug. He was the best big brother in many ways. I was probably the worst younger brother; it was a wonder why he still cared if I was alive or dead.

"Father bargained with the ruler of the underworld for my life back. I'm going to have to kill those who tried to kill me, but he and mother truly did want me back," I sniffled, mentally vowing that this would be the only time I'd show weak sadness in front of Thor again.

"Of course they did! Brother, sometimes I wonder how you can be so smart and so stupid at the same time," Thor groaned.

"Same to you brother," I sighed.

Stepping away from Thor I walked back to Darcy who was beginning to get a hold on her feelings and had stopped crying.

"SHIELD would be disappointed if they knew that you were going to go after some of their agents. We should not forewarn them. Will you take us to Asgard?" Thor asked.

"I will," I nodded.

Darcy reached for my hand, but thought better of it and clasped her own hands together. I turned myself invisible and followed Jane, Thor, and Darcy down the stairs to Jane's van. Jane drove us to the desert. Invisible, I held Darcy's hand throughout the ride, scaring her at first.

When we got to the desert, everyone got out. I un-invisible-ified myself and walked to the center of the energy field here. Slightly annoyed, I realized that I was here way too much. My hand extended to grab Darcy's hand. Thor was with Jane. After waiting a bit, I turned back to see them kissing.

"You two can kiss in Asgard," Darcy shouted.

"We can't," Thor growled.

"What do you mean?" I sighed melodramatically.

"I waited for Thor, now its Thor's turn to wait for me… I'm staying here to publish my works on the Einstein Rosen Bridge as soon as possible. He knows I love him, but as always my career comes first," Jane explained.

"You go girl. Are you guys still getting married?" Darcy asked.

"Of course!" Jane and Thor said at the same time.

"It will be postponed until my love can meet me again and come to stay with me in Asgard," Thor nodded.

"I know how hard it is to leave your love, but can we go before SHIELD knows I'm alive?" I asked.

"Give us one more minute," Thor said.

Nodding, I turned to Darcy so that I wouldn't have to watch them. She wrapped her arms around me, and put our foreheads together. I looked down at her light brown eyes, and she stared up into mines. We stayed like that for a minute, unspeaking, enjoying the moment, then I stepped back and turned to Thor and announced that it was time to leave. Clasping hands, we traveled through my makeshift Einstein Rosen Bridge and landed in Asgard where my parents awaited us once again.
