A/N:

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.

Tony was rubbing his temples as Pepper placed a hand on his shoulder. "Has it really been almost 18 years?" He looked up at her. "Did I really just forget almost two decades of my life?" Thor had left him with Pepper when they appeared back at his Malibu mansion. Said something about avenging and that he'd be back.

Pepper sat down in front of him. "Well, it's not exactly your fault. Some weird stuff has happened, and I mean it's weird even for your life." Tony's eyes flicked back over to the screen that JARVIS had shown him after taking scans of his body and his brain. No, there was no brain damage, but there was something inside of him that had altered his memories.

"I don't like this," Tony frowned then looked back over at Pepper. "I don't know what's going on, and then that Loki guy, and that kid, Kaia, it's just too confusing right now." Tony looked up when he saw two people walk in the room and he straightened in the chair. Pepper looked over then back at Tony.

"I know you," Tony pointed at Phil. "I saw you at that charity thing," Phil nodded once. Tony then looked at the other man, feeling something in his chest. "There's no way I couldn't know you." Steve Rogers frowned a little at Tony tone.

"Tony," Pepper called to him quietly. Tony tightened his jaw a little then nodded, following the three into the next room where he saw Thor and six other people, plus one angry looking man on a screen.

"You sure picked a hell of a time to have amnesia, Stark," the man on the screen said. Tony raised an eyebrow then flashed him a smile that was sure to annoy him.

"I get the feeling that you don't like me very much," Tony said easily. "I'm pretty sure that when I do remember everything, I'll be happy that this made you upset."

"Still the same god-damned Stark," Fury muttered. "So, we've got a messed up billionaire, a missing god and teen, and Chitauri on the run. Anyone wanna tell me where it all went wrong, and what the hell we're gonna do to fix this?"

"We know who took Kaia," Steve spoke up first. "Thor can take us there, but we have no idea where Loki is." Tony watched Steve, then back to the screen. He put a hand to his chest, tapping at the arc reactor to distract him from the warming sensation he felt there again. He knew it was the power of the tesseract, Loki had told him that. He knew that it was Hela that had taken Kaia, but he wasn't sure why she had taken the teen and not Loki. His thoughts moved quickly, and he tried to access the memories that were hidden, knowing it would help, but he felt helpless.

Tony's attention snapped back to the room when he saw two people standing in front of him. Gabby and Nathan, as Pepper had told him earlier. The last time he had seen Gabby she was five years old, and here she was, almost taller than him. He looked at Nathan and felt a pull towards the teen, there was something inside that recognized the boy.

Each one reached out and took one of his hands and he blinked at them. Looking at them he knew what had to be done, even if he was confused to the point of implosion. "I'll find them." Tony looked up at the group, all of whom were still talking, except for one brunette. He had heard Tony, and had slipped off his glasses. "I said, I'll find them," Tony said louder to get the attention of the others.

"Tony, you can't be serious," Natasha looked at him. "You don't even know who they are to you-"

"I don't need to know all the details to know that they mean Something to me," Tony snapped back. "Let me tell you, from where I'm at right now, I didn't think something like that could happen. So, you'll excuse me if I say screw you, and do this for myself."

"I'm going with you," Nathan said suddenly, looking at Tony. "You can't do it alone, and I know everything." Tony watched him, recognized something in him, something that reminded Tony of himself.

"Oh sure, why the hell not," Tony shrugged. "Come on kid, you can tell me about the stuff I find in my lab while we get prepared." Tony pushed Nathan's back towards the stairs, ignoring the yelling that was going on behind him. "Thor! I'm gonna need a ride to see Hela in a little bit, can you help big guy?"

"Of course," Thor grinned as he boomed his answer over the others. That was the Tony that he knew, one that get his family back no matter what.

Gabby walked over and took Steve's hand in her own, holding them together. "Uncle Tony may have just lost his memories, but he didn't lose who he was," she told him gently. Gabby put a finger on his lips when he opened his mouth to talk. "Who else is going to find them? Hela wants Tony, she set this up and we all know it."

"That's what I'm afraid of," Steve murmured. He wrapped an arm around her, pulling her to his chest as he sighed.

Tony ran his hands over the newest Iron Man suit as he circled it. He listened to Nathan tell him what was added to it and had to smirk at his own talents. "Damn, never would have thought that they could get this good. Well, I mean I had thought it, but," he shrugged as he trailed off. He looked over to see Nathan attaching some kind of strap to what looked like an oversized blaster and slung it over his shoulders to rest of his back.

"It works like your repulsors do," Nathan explained quickly. "Do we have a plan?"

"Have we faced her before?" Tony asked as he grabbed a tablet, running over the specs of the suit real quick.

"We have," Nathan said and Tony glanced at him. "We're alive."

"That well, huh?" Tony sighed then put the tablet down. "Alright, i'm going in there without the suit then." Nathan's eyes widened a little, but Tony continued before he could object. "She did this for a reason, and it's obvious that there's some vendetta against me. She's not gonna kill me, because then she wouldn't be able to have fun."

"You're a crazy bastard," Nathan sighed a little. "As long as we get Kaia back, and you're still a live, I'll call it a win." Tony smirked a little when he started talking about Kaia. "Not a word."

"Are we ready friends?" Thor walked into the workshop and Tony nodded.

"Let's go to Hel."
