The next few months passed quickly. The twins still visited Jotunheim while Tony worked and they visited Loki every few nights for a bed time story. Helblindi even gave him a bracelet that would allow him to visit Loki by himself. He used those trips to catch Loki up on his life and the children.

"You should consider visiting Jotunheim. Helblindi and Býleistr would be very happy to meet you. I've told them all I know about you, but I'm sure you have more stories than what I know."

Loki smiled, "Yes I do. I would also apologize for trying to destroy their realm. It was wrong of me and I allowed my anger to get the better of me."

"They understand. From what they told me, Laufey needed to resign. He wasn't helping the people that much, too busy hating Odin for taking the Casket from them."

"Do you think he knew who I was?"

"I don't think so. Helblindi and Býleistr didn't know until they heard that Galen's middle name is Loptr. I guess your name was only known to the royal family. They were going to announce it after they took you back from the temple."

"What do you mean by that?"

Tony sighed, "According to Helblindi, Laufey didn't abandon you. There is a Jotunn ritual where any offspring of the royal family spends a day in the temple. It is believed to strengthen them, if a child doesn't survive, they weren't worthy for the crown. Your parents thought you were killed along with the rest of the Jotunns at the temple."

Throughout his story, Loki's rage was building. "That bastard!" He shouted. "The Allfather did steal me. That worthless old man stole me from a life where I could have been loved. I could have been whole."

"I guess" Tony replied.

Loki looked at him curiously, "You guess?"

"I mean, sure you got a shitty childhood, but something good did come out of it."

Loki smiled, "I suppose you are worth it."

"You bet your ass I am." Tony smirked. "Besides, you can fix it now. Get to know your brothers. Helblindi said you weren't missing much, Laufey wasn't much of a father."

"I bet he was better than Odin."

"Yeah, you can't really beat that. Not even my father was that bad. And he did some pretty bad things."

"I will get out someday Anthony. I promise, I will be a part of our children's lives. I don't want to be just a bed time story giver. I want to be a Father."

"You will be Lokes. You will find a way out of here, even if I have to come here and break you out myself. We can escape to Jotunheim, I already got the okay from Helblindi."

Loki laughed, "You are a crazy man Stark"

"But you love me anyway."

"I do" Loki kissed his lover softly.

They spent the rest of their time going through the baby book Tony brought.

"Sir, it appears we have a problem." Jarvis said.

"What's the problem J?"

"You have a business meeting in Germany today and a SHIELD consultation right after." Jarvis replied.

"How long is this going to take?"

"Three days Sir"

"Damn" He couldn't call Kimi, she was on vacation for the next week and he didn't want to ruin it. He couldn't take the kids because SHIELD would find out about them. He could send them to Jotunheim, but they had just returned, he didn't want to burden anyone there. An idea hit him, "That could work" He walked to the playroom and opened the door. Aurora was playing with her dolls while Galen was reading a book. "Hey guys, I need to talk to you."

The twins sat down with Tony on the floor, "I have a meeting to go to in Germany."

"Oh can we come?" Galen asked excitedly.

"Unfortunately you can't. I have a SHIELD meeting right after."

"No fair" Galen pouted.

"How long you gone?" Aurora asked.

"Three days"

"Kimi coming?"

"No, she's on vacation. I was thinking about sending you back to Jotunheim, but I think I have a better idea. What do you think of spending some one on one time with your Dad?"

Their eyes brightened, "Really?" Aurora asked.

"Yup, a whole three days with your Dad. How does that sound?"

"Yay!" They cheered.

"Okay, time to pack. Only a small backpack, don't want you bringing too much. You know the spell to clean yourselves right?" The twins nodded.

"Good. And remember, there are guards that sometimes come by so listen to your Father. No back talking, either of you."

They nodded, "Yes Mommy"

"Good, now let's pack." Tony helped them pack three days of clothes and a few toys and books. After that they went through their nightly routine.

When morning came, Tony made a large breakfast. "Be good for Daddy, don't get into trouble."

"Yes Mommy" Aurora hugged Tony.

"We be the best" Galen hugged Tony.

"I'll miss you two, Have fun" He handed them another bag with several pieces of fruit and sandwiches in case they didn't have enough to eat.

"Bye Mommy" They waved and disappeared.

When they appeared in front of Loki, he was confused and put up the usual illusion. "Hello you two. I wasn't expecting you."

"Mommy has to leave so he sent us here." Aurora explained.

"We get three days with you!" Galen cheered.

Loki smiled, "That sounds wonderful. Come tell me how you have been."

"You seem lost in thought." Býleistr approached Tony. He was waiting for the twins to finish with their lesson.

"I was just thinking, nothing important." Tony replied.

"Now why don't I believe that?" The Jotunn smiled.

Tony chuckled, "I have no idea. I guess you just haven't known me long enough."

Býleistr chuckled, "I guess not. But truly, what ails you so?"

Tony sighed, "I was thinking of Loki's other children. I asked him about them and all of the legends are true. They are all imprisoned, out of his reach."

"You wish to reclaim his children?" Býleistr asked.

"It sounds nice, have no way of doing it though. I have no idea where they are."

"And if you did?"

"Then comes in the problem of that Asgardian watcher that can see anything."

"Hmm, a hard obstacle indeed. I shall ask the mages, they might have an idea." Býleistr nodded and left.

"Wait what?" Tony asked, but didn't get an answer.

A few hours later, Býleistr handed Tony a piece of glowing ice. "What is this?"

"It is your way passed the guardian. The mages said that if you incorporate this ice with your suit and center, you should be able to shield yourself from him."

"My center?"

"The light in your chest. It repels magic." He pointed to the arc reactor. "Combine that with this ice, and you will be able to reclaim Loki's children."

"That's amazing" He held the large piece of ice in his hands. But how will I find them?"

"That I do not know."

Tony smiled, "Thank you Býleistr. This means a lot."

"Children should not be separated from their parents."

Tony nodded.
