A/N: That's it! This is the end! They were so much fun to write, and I'd like to continue with them. Thank you Everyone who read and reviewed! I'm happy with how this ended, and I hope you are too! See you all soon! :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.
Loki walked down the halls of the palace, a little perplexed on why he was unable to find his partner, or daughter and her constant companion. A few weeks after they had returned Loki and Tony thought that it might be easier to take them up to Asgard to try and catch them up on what school work they would have missed, and for Loki teach Kaia more magic. That left Tony to try and talk with Nathan to find out why he was suddenly so much closer to their daughter. Playing the ever over-protective father. Now all three were suspiciously missing.
He found Frigga coming in from the gardens, a basket of freshly picked flowers on her arm, dirt on her dress, and he smirked. She loved giving her handmaidens something to twitter about.
"There's my youngest," she smiled and moved to kiss his cheeks. "What are you doing alone in the halls?"
"Well, that's what I was about to ask you. I am unable to locate the rest of my family it seems," he frowned a little. He saw a slight smile on her face and knew that she was planning something.
"Hmm, that is indeed odd." Frigga held out her arm and Loki looped his around her elbow. "Walk with me and we'll look for them. I need to take these flowers somewhere, so we can search." They turned down the hall and started to walk. "Did you know that your father had taken a meeting with the council recently?" Loki raised an eyebrow. "That was several days ago, though. So how are the children coming with their studies? You've been here for nearly 9 weeks, yes?"
"Yes, Tony assures me that they are learning quickly with their Midgardian studies. Kaia is excelling in her magic." Loki couldn't help the small proud smile.
"Have I told you that I like Anthony? He certainly is a unique one," she smiled. Now Loki was truly suspicious. "How long have you two been together?"
"Nearing 15 years," Loki informed her. "Midgardian years of course."
"That is perhaps the longest I've seen you with someone." She just smiled at the look that he sent her way. "Only stating the facts."
"Mother, you can be very good at hiding things, when you want to." Loki stopped them in the hall and she merely raised her eyebrows in question. "You are purposely being vague, and dropping little hints. What exactly is going on?"
"Oh look, just on time," Frigga turned and smiled at the two guards that approached them. "I do believe that they are here to escort us, darling. I think that this might be where your wayward partner is." Loki let out a long suffering sigh and walked with his mother and the guards down the hall. They approached the throne room but turned before reaching it, heading towards Odin's personal study. As the doors opened Frigga walked in the first, the guards staying outside and closing the door.
Kaia was sitting next to Tony on the couch with Nathan behind it, Odin sitting behind a large desk. Frigga moved and started taking the flowers from her basket and putting them in a couple of vases in the room. Loki raised one eyebrow and looked over at the three on the couch.
Tony grinned when he saw him and stood up, giving a little turn. "Hey, you like the new threads? A little more leather than is my taste, but I thought you might like it." Tony had a red and gold leather jacket, as long as Loki's, with a high collar that the foolish mortal had popped up. Kaia reached up before Loki could and folded it back down. He wore a black shirt with two diagonal red stripes at the bottom, but had obviously insisted on his own black pants and the tennis shoes that Loki always complained about when he wore them with formal wear.
"Unfortunately, we had no say in what his clothes looked like," Kaia said as she got up and kissed Loki's cheek. "He had them made before we could said anything." Loki noticed that she was wearing her Asgardian clothes, complete with golden discs announcing her status of immortality.
"Yes, that is just like your father." He looked between the people in the room. "Now, is someone going to inform about what is going on?" He saw Odin stand up, reaching out to grab a a small golden box from the desk as he did so. Frigga was just smiling.
Tony cleared his throat a little, and his whole stance changed. Now Loki was extremely suspicious. "I didn't actually think that I'd have an audience when I did this, which is completely out of my character most times." Loki snorted and Tony smiled. "So, if my math about the time change is right, then today is actually the right day, which wasn't how I planned it, but it works. And that means that we've been together, and not killing each other, for 15 years. Now, that's a lot by Tony Stark time, I mean Pepper once compared working for me as time in dog years, and let me tell you, that's a lot of years."
"Anthony, you're rambling," Loki said patiently. "You're making yourself nervous."
"Correction, more nervous." Tony wiped the sides of his jacket from imaginary dust and walked over to Loki, reaching into his pocket. "This is actually a lot more nerve wracking than I thought." He grabbed Loki's head with his hands and kissed him once, then took a breath. "Okay, I needed that, thanks." He grinned as Loki blinked. "Great, so here we go. Loki, oh high God of Chaos and Fire and other great stuff that wouldn't be appropriate in current company. I want to stake my claim on you forever, and ask you to get married to me." Tony pulled out a golden band and Loki blinked some more. He could see that there were runes engraved along the band, and saw a thin strip of red metal along each end of the ring.
"If you say no, I'm disowning myself from this family," Kaia said and Loki snapped out of his shock and looked over at her.
"You are a foolish mortal, but you're My foolish mortal." Loki kissed Tony, giving him a predatory grin after. Tony grinned showing teeth as he slipped the ring on Loki's hand.
"I don't think you can use that line anymore though." Loki raised an eyebrow, looking away from the finely crafted ring. Odin was now walking over and had opened the golden box. Loki saw the two golden medallions.
"Anthony Stark, you have come and proven your worth, and have passed the Trials of Courage." Odin took the medallions out as he spoke. "You have been judged, and I grant you immortality," he reached over and placed the golden discs in the lapels of the jacket, "and Power of the Gods of Asgard. You are now known as god of Engineering and Intellect." The medallions started to glow and Tony took a deep breath as the golden energy seemed to seep into his body.
After a second Tony pointed to himself with both pointer fingers. "I, am a god." He grinned at Loki who let out a snorted and then a laugh. "There are witnesses to my greatness now, no denying it. I am an official god of Asgard." Loki kissed him again, this time a little longer, only stopping when he felt a pair of arms around him and Tony. He looked over to see that Frigga had made it to them first, and Kaia was only a second way, wrapping her arms around them as well.
"You went through the Trials of Courage?" Loki looked at Tony, letting him roll the ring around on his finger, liking the feel of it.
"Trial, singular, kind of," Tony shrugged, smiling.
"He's already proven his worth to Asgard," Frigga spoke up. "And I think that it takes a lot of courage to come and ask the Allfather for his youngest sons hand in marriage." Loki snorted and started to laugh.
"You're still mine, and you said yes," Tony reminded him. "And now we're going to be together for a Very long time."
"Let us hope that we don't destroy Midgard then." Loki smirked.
"Oh, we're going to cause some Chaos, there's no doubt about that!" Tony kissed him slowly, then looked at him. "Can I-"
"Yes." Loki laughed at Tony's grin. Yeah, he could see himself with this man for a little while longer.
