Loki landed in the outskirts of the palace in Jotunheim. He transformed into his Jotunn form and walked to the palace. A guard met him at the entrance. "What business do you have here?"

"I seek an audience with your King." Loki said.

The guard examined him for a moment before leading him inside. When they got to the throne room, Helblindi was sitting on his throne with Býleistr standing by his side.

"Greetings your Majesty." Loki bowed.

"Greetings Loki. It is a pleasure to meet you." Helblindi smiled.

Loki bowed again, "The pleasure is mine."

"I have been eager to meet you Brother. I'm assuming you are no longer imprisoned." Helblindi said.

Loki nodded, "The Dark Elf Malekith was going to use the Aether and the convergence to destroy the nine realms. Thor made a deal with me, if I helped win the war I would be free."

"I see, I am happy for you. I bet you cannot wait to return to your family"

"Yes, but I had to come here first. I wanted to thank you for teaching my children, it means a lot to me."

"Nonsense. They are our family."

"I also wanted to apologize for the damage I did to your realm. It was wrong of me to judge you out of my fear and rage."

"Yes, you did a lot of damage. However, Starkson told us your story and I understand your reasons. Now I blame Odin for what happened to our realm."

Loki nodded, "I am only here for three days but, if you'll allow me, I would be happy to help heal this land."

Helblindi smiled, "We would be honored to receive your help Brother. I'm sure our realm will be beautiful once again."

"What are your plans for the next three days?" Býleistr asked.

Loki blushed, "I was hoping you could help me with something. I know the bonding rituals of Asgard, but I have no knowledge of those on Jotunheim."

Helblindi grinned, "You wish to bond with your mortal lover?" He laughed joyfully, "What joyous news! We shall teach you everything you need to know." He stood up from his throne, "Come, we shall teach you the basics and start the process tomorrow."

"Thank you Majesty." Loki bowed.

Helblindi waved dismissively, "You may have a different name Loptr, but we are brothers. Someday, I hope you will be comfortable calling me, and Býleistr as such."

Frigga was cleaning Loki's old cell. She had all of the furniture out, now she had to return the books to the library. While she was stacking the books, she noticed that one had something between the pages. She opened the book and three pictures fell out. She could tell that two of the pictures were older than the third, having been folded for many years. She gasped as she unfolded them, they were pictures of Loki and another man. The first one was from before he fell, Loki still had short hair and he looked more youthful. The second one shocked her even more; never had she seen Loki in his Jotunn form, yet there he was, smiling. She smiled fondly as she ran her finger over her son's face. The third picture however, was probably the most shocking. It was taken in his cell, which confused her, the man was there again and they were joined by two children.

"I have grandchildren" Tears fell down her cheeks. "Oh Loki" The children were beautiful mixtures of the parents. She quickly gathered the books and returned them to the library before finding Thor.

"Greetings Mother" Thor said.

"Hello my son. I trust you are well" She smiled.

"Yes, I have returned Jane to Midgard and have informed SHIELD to meet us at the Man of Iron's tower tomorrow."

"Excellent. Be sure to inform me when Loki arrives. I would like to accompany you to Midgard."

"But Mother, it is too dangerous." Thor protested.

"Nonsense, I will be seeing Loki off. There is nothing that will stop me." Frigga argued.

Thor sighed, but didn't press the issue. He knew how stubborn she could be. "You shall be informed when he arrives."

"Good" She nodded and walked off.

Loki came through the Bifrost and was greeted by Thor and Heimdall. "I hope your trip to Jotunheim was fruitful" Thor greeted.

"It was, I trust everything is ready on Midgard." Loki said.

"It is, Director Fury should be there now." Thor replied.

"Then let's be off, I do not wish to give the Allfather any reason to imprison me again."

"We cannot leave just yet" Thor said.

"Why not?" Loki asked curiously.

"We are waiting for Mother. She wished to accompany us." Thor replied.

Loki looked confused but didn't speak.

A few minutes later both Frigga and Odin entered the dome. "Father, what are you doing here?" Thor asked.

"I am not about to let your mother accompany you alone." Odin replied.

"Why are you even coming Mother?" Loki asked.

Frigga smiled brightly, "I wish to see my grandchildren of course"

The three men stared at her, two in shock and one in terror.

She giggled and walked up to Loki, showing him the picture she had found. "I found these pictures in one of your books. I once asked you what changed you, I think I know now." She handed him the pictures which he slipped in his jacket. "How old are they?"

"They are turning five soon." Loki answered quietly.

"I trust you will be having a wedding soon. I will not have any more children born out of wedlock." Frigga smirked.

"I will have you know Mother that all but one of my children were born while I was married."

"So shall I start planning?"

"Not yet, soon though so don't ruin my plans."

Frigga nodded happily.

"Loki!" Odin's bellow broke the pair from their moment. "Have you been harboring your children on Midgard?"

"Wha- no!" Loki protested.

"Your children have been missing for years. Someone released them and they haven't been found." Odin said.

Loki gaped at the King. His knees gave out and he fell to the floor. "Loki!" Frigga knelt next to her son. "Are you alright?"

"You're lying" He hissed.

Odin merely stared at him.

"No, YOU'RE LYING! They can't be GONE!" Loki shrieked. He turned to Thor, but the other God was not looking at him.

"I am sorry Brother, but they are indeed missing." Thor said quietly.

Loki glared at Odin, "If they had stayed under my care this wouldn't have happened."

"They are dangerous creatures, they need to be imprisoned." Odin replied coldly.

"They are my children, and now they're gone" He glared at Odin. "They're gone" Tears ran down his cheeks.

"Oh my darling, I'm sorry" Frigga comforted him. "But now that you're free, you can look for them. Become a real family." She smiled.

Loki looked heartbroken, but managed a small smile.

"Now, let's go. I'm sure everyone is waiting for us and I am eager to meet my new grandchildren." Frigga clapped and walked to the entrance of the Bifrost.

Woo! Everyone is going to find out now :D
