A/N: Whoa there, long time no see! Okay, here's a chapter, and I'm glad I waited because the way it was going, this was going to end in a must too fast way and there wouldn't have been a resolution that I would have liked. Then, it just took a while to get it written out. Heeeee :D

The Avengers, Loki, Iron Man, or anything of the like. Just the thoughts inside my head, and Kaia, Gabby, and Nathan. And taking some personal freedoms with mythology and lore.

Kaia stood several feet away from Tony and Loki, watching her dads sleep. She heard Odin walking towards her but didn't move. "He seems peaceful now. Is it because he is sleeping?"

"Partly," Odin told her. He knew that she was a smart girl that caught on quickly.

"Is he in any pain?" Kaia asked softly, not wanting to wake her parents up.

"I do not believe so," Odin answered the teen. "Although it is unclear as to what the power could do to him. He is a strong man," Odin placed a firm hand on her shoulder.

Tony took a gasping breath and sat up suddenly. Loki fell off of him but stayed in his chair. "Tony?"

Tony's head whipped around frantically, his eyes wide. When he saw Loki he sat up a little straighter. "What the hell?" Tony muttered under his breath. "Where the hell am I? I havne't been kidnapped again, have I?" Tony ran a hand through his hair as he looked around, Loki's own eyes widening slightly. "Pepper is gonna lose it, i just get back-"

"You haven't been kidnapped, Tony," Loki said quietly. Tony turned to look back at him. "You're on Asgard, healing."

"Asgard? Healing? What the hell happened?" Tony leaned back against the headboard and looked around. "Why does my chest feel so weird? If I haven't been kidnapped then why do i feel like I've been taking three rounds with a boxer? And just who are you?"

"What is the last thing that you remember Tony?" Loki asked carefully. He wasn't sure what was happening but he wasn't liking the implications.

"Well, I just found out that Stark was double dealing the weapons, and then I took the suit-" Tony whipped his head to look at Loki. "This isn't about the weapons is it? I mean, I cleared it with Rhodey and-"

"Tony, you don't make weapons anymore." Tony blinked slowly and stared at Loki. "You're working on clean energy, your arc reactor works, in a much-"

"How do you know about the arc reator?" Tony suddenly asked, venom edging his voice. "No one knows about that, no one can get it to work." Loki reached forward but Tony grabbed his wrist suddenly. "What do you think you're doing?"

"What's wrong with you?" Loki pulled his hand back and looked at his chest. Tony followed his gaze and looked down. He saw his arc reactor but it was much brighter, and much different than he remembered it. He looked back voer at Loki and frowned a little when thoguht he saw a fleeting glimpse of Something in his eyes.

"This, this isn't right, is it?" Tony asked slowly. No one could ever say that Tony Stark was slow to catch things when it counted. Loki shook his head a little and Tony felt something tighten in his chest. "What happened?" He asked more sedately. And Loki told him about the Tesseract, and Hela.

Tony's fingeres tapped the arc reactor with his fingers as he listened. "So, right now, something that should have killed me, again, is inside my body? Well, isn't this just grand. Wait until I tell Pepper and Obie about this one."

Loki swallowed a little, realizing the rough time frame that Tony thought he was in. Tony looked over when Loki didn't say anything. "Something happened didn't it?"

"It's something that can be discussed later. Right now I think it imperative-"

"Daddy!" Kaia ran into the room and Tony and Loki looked over, eyes widening slightly, for different reasons. Kaia threw herself on the bed and wrapped her arms around Tony. Tony slowly wrapped an arm around her shoulders and looked at Loki. "I was worried that you wouldn't wake up, and it's been four days, but they all said that you weren't in any pain and-"

"Child," Loki shushed Kaia gently. "He's only just woken up." Kaia glanced over at Loki and nodded then looked back up at Tony with the biggest smile he had ever seen. She looked at him before her smile slowly disappeared.

"Daddy?" She reached up and put her hand on one of his cheeks when she thought she saw his eyes misting up. "Are you alright?"

Tony nodded quickly as Loki spoke up. "Daddy is just tired still," Loki wrapped his arms around Kaia's waist. "We should let the Healers look at him, yes?" She nodded a little and slid from Loki's lap as Loki stood up. "We'll be back later, you should rest a little." Tony nodded as he watched the two walk away.

Tony leaned back in the bed and took a slow breath. The little girl had looked like Loki, but also look a little like him. He glanced at his hands and thought they looked different, more worn, a few more marks and scars than he remembered. He ran a hand through his hair and thought it felt slightly different. Scrubbing his hand over his face he looked up and saw a couple of people walking towards him, looking like the healers they had been talking about.

They were interrupted several minutes later by a commotion out in the halls. Weapons were clashing, people were yelling, footsteps were running. Tony umped up immediately, pushing off the blankets and running for the doors. He could hear the Healers behind him trying to stop him, but he was Tony Stark, fresh from a cave in the Middle East.

Tony looked out and saw two guards fall in front of the door and two monsters run by. There was a flare of red magic that caught the edge of his eyes and he stepped out suddenly. There was a sparkle of power and he saw a woman holding onto Kaia, then disappear. Tony frowned then gasped when he was suddenly slammed into the heavy doors.

Tony groaned and tried to grab the edge of the door as a cold hand wrapped around his neck, lifting him up. He saw one of the monsters that had run by and tried to glare at him. "That is not the one," a voice hissed behind him and the monster glared at Tony before throwing him across the hall. Tony hit the floor on his side hard, sliding until the wall stopped him.

There was a burning in his chest as his lifted his head up. "Tony!" He heard a clashing and a couple of green daggers flying through the air. He saw Loki running to him, a look of fear flashing through his eyes, and he just knew that that looked wrong on the man.

Loki was suddenly jumped by several of the monsters and slammed to the ground. Tony blinked then started to push himself up, reaching a hand out. Loki pushed his arm forward before both arms were grabbed by the creatures as they piled on him. Tony was slammed back onto his stomach by a foot pushing on his back.

"Do not worry, you shall join him soon," a low voice sounded above Tony. When he tried to turn his head a strong grip of a hand slammed it back down to the ground. Then only thing he could see was Loki, he could see the barbed gag they tied around his mouth, the shackles around his wrists and ankles, and the terrified look in Loki's eyes.

"You caused enough damage on your own, Stark," the voice started talking again. "But, a deal was made, you shall not suffer by our hands first, but we will have your soul." The hand lifted his head then slammed it back down and Tony's vision went white before he lost consciousness.

"Tony? Tony, you must wake up." Tony groaned when he heard a different voice this time. There were so many people that were calling him. Didn't they understand that he just wanted to sleep? He was going to sleep, and he needed to finish working on the Mark IV. There was a shake to his shoulder and his eyes shot open then.

Tony found himself staring at a large man with blonde hair and blue eyes. "Loki told me what had happened. You do not remember me, do you?" Tony shook his head once. "I am Thor, we have fought together, many a time. We must return to Midgard quickly." He pulled Tony up from the floor that he realized that he had been sitting on.

"Wait, what the hell just happened here?" He let Thor pull him along, but he was feeling more confused than the first time he had woken up.

"I would rather wait until we tell the others," Thor told him, a sad note in his voice. "They will try to help you remember, and understand what is happening. Just know that the situation is dire, and we must move quickly." Tony nodded and followed the God, wondering if this wasn't all just a dream. Maybe he'd taken a little more head damage flying out to Golmera than he thought. He needed Pepper, she'd explain everything to him.
