Loki's POV
Loki had remained on the roof, frustrated at the rash actions of his son. If he had remained for just a few seconds more . . .
No, it was foolish to think of regrets, he had to think of how to use this.
He winced as he watched Barton trap Jokul with an arrow which turned into a net.
The situation was getting worse with every passing second and it was not like they had been in a good position from the moment Jack had entered the workshop.
At this rate it might just be better to abandon Jokul to the Avengers and hope Thor would be able to prevent anything drastic from happening.
Then again, with the way the Guardians were freeing Jokul and disregarding the Avenger's protests he might not have to rely on that brainless lump.
Now so long as Jokul did nothing stupid he should be able to free himself with ease. Loki watched as Jokul messed around, slurping his drink in a disgusting way before allowing the conversation to drift away from interrogating him.
When his son excused himself though, Loki sighed, that was not going to work. Like Loki had predicted, Romanoff was fast to stop Jokul's escape.
With a sigh, Loki stood and stretched, as much as he hated to do so he was going to have to abandon Jokul here. His son was not freeing himself quickly and Loki did not have the time to wait, Jokul would just have to catch up.
He shot his son one last glance before turning to leave, noting that Jokul appeared to be fast losing his temper.
It was just as he gathered his magic to teleport that he heard Jokul snap.
"AND HAD HE NOT WHERE WOULD YOU BE NOW? IF HE HAD NOT DONE SO THEN MILLIONS MORE WOULD HAVE DIED LONG AND TORTUROUS DEATHS. IF HE HAD DONE NOTHING THEN THIS WORLD WOULD BE DEAD AT THE HANDS OF THANOS!"
Loki froze. He knew his son was prone to acting or speaking without thinking, especially when angered. But surely he wouldn't reveal something that important so easily.
No, it was obvious that he had. Even now he could hear voices being raised in recognition of the name of the Mad Titan.
With such a large blunder there was only one real way to fix things. He would have to do so himself.
Loki turned back to the workshop and used his magic to teleport within, careful to keep himself cloaked from prying eyes.
Romanoff was talking. "Look." She said. "Why don't we just get Frost to explain?"
As his son stuttered under their combined stared, Loki stepped closer.
"Enough." He spat, his voice as cold as the fields of Jotenheim.
