I totally forgot that I didn't put an ending on this-which is why it took so long XD

I really hope you guys like. I probably won't post again until the weekend but I will be working on chapters in the meantime.

Tony chugged the last bit of his coffee and tossed it into the trashcan as soon as he entered the lab.

"Let's get some food," Bruce called to him.

Tony looked over to see that Bruce was grabbing his bag and the tablet he had been working on. Bruce was not generally one to go out into public. If possible he would just order take out and be done with it. The only time that Bruce wanted to go out to eat was to discuss something he was afraid that SHIELD would hear. That is why Tony didn't question it and followed the other man out of the lab.

A few minutes later and they were in Tony's car heading out of the lower level garage.

"What's up?" Tony asked as he sped toward food.

Bruce shook his head, "food?"

Tony raised a brow at the fellow scientist and made his way to Pepper's favorite Mexican place. She liked to drag him there every so often and he knew he liked their chimichangas.

"Why with the crazy?" Tony asked as soon as they were seated. He had requested a circular booth so that Bruce could show him whatever was in the bag with ease.

Bruce looked around at the semi-crowded restaurant before turning his tablet back on. "I was testing the program last night."
"The one detecting magic?" Tony asked.

"Yeah, I was bored." Bruce poked the tablet a few times. "So I was able to fix it all the way where you can tell where magic is occurring in the house." He showed Tony the tablet. Black lines against the blue black ground signaled where walls and floors were in the tower. Magic was identified by white and as Loki had mentioned before: it was in every living creature. A regular person walking around would appear light blue against the background because they had such a limited supply of magic. Loki's silhouette was a much lighter blue due to his use of magic. When he was angry, or performing magic, it would change to white.

"This is now?" Tony asked while pointing at the tablet.

But Bruce shook his head. "This is last night after you went to bed."

Tony took the tablet and moved the view to his room. "Pepper looked much better in person." Tony handed the tablet back over while smirking. On it were two light blue silhouettes; the larger one on top of the smaller one.

"That's not what I was looking for," Bruce frowned. He moved the view to Loki's room. "Loki looked really tired the night before so I was wondering if he was actually meditating."

"What's he doing?" Tony frowned. "it doesn't look like meditation."

Bruce sighed. "Tossing and turning." The silhouette lay horizontal and would occasionally fidget. "He did it for an hour last night."

"So what?" Tony frowned. "I toss and turn a lot and you don't hear me complain."

"You complain a lot." Bruce muttered. "And that's not what I'm worried about."

Tony eyed the silhouette as the waiter approached. They ordered their food and the waiter went away.

"Anytime now," Bruce sighed.

Tony raised a brow and then watched as the silhouette got up and moved about. It looked as if he was pacing. Then Tony couldn't tell what the god was doing. A few minutes later, Loki went out the window. Right before he did the area around him became lighter.

"He did a spell," Bruce commented. "I think that's how he's been getting around."
"Fury will be happy, he thought Loki could teleport," Tony commented.

"No he won't," Bruce sighed. "I checked and double checked. That's Natasha's room."

Tony watched as the silhouette entered a room through the window. The smaller silhouette walked to him. Suddenly the whole room lightened.

"Another spell?" Tony asked quietly.

"Yeah," Bruce nodded. "It's similar. I think it's so he won't be detected."

"Detected?" Tony stared down at the tablet and then his eyebrows rose. He looked to Bruce.

"Not a lot of things that that could have been, and trust me it only gets worse," Bruce told him.

"So Fury is sic'ing Natasha on him," Tony stared down at the tablet.

"I'm not too sure about that," Bruce frowned. "Loki would see through something like that."
"So Fury is sic'ing Natasha on Loki who knows what's going on and enjoying the ride?" He tilted his head. "Enjoying the ride immensely."

"I don't know. But if someone is getting their emotions toyed with then I think that this should not be brought to anyone's attention," Bruce frowned.

"What do we tell Loki?" Tony asked. "He wants to know when to bring in the other guy."

"Don't show him the tablet," Bruce told him. "Just tell him that we are ready for a test run with the other guy."

Tony nodded and handed the tablet over to Bruce.

Steve got out of the cab and looked at Stark Tower. He pulled out his new phone and began to dial Nat's number.

"About time you got here."
Steve smiled as he saw Director Fury heading for him. "My phone got knocked into the drink."

"So Natasha said," Fury nodded. "You need to come with me."

"So what's the big bad?" Steve asked as they headed into the bottom level where Tony kept his cars.

"Oh, just the end of the world as we know it. Nothing new." Fury grinned as they headed into the elevator.

"All the other Avengers here?" Steve asked.

"And then some," Fury sighed. He texted Natasha: Steve in penthouse, keep Loki occupied. "While you were gone some interesting things happened."

"Interesting. That word just keeps popping up." Steve frowned.

"Do you know who Odin is?" Fury asked Steve, but the Avenger just shrugged. "Odin is the King of Asgard and NOT our biggest fan."

"King? Wouldn't that make him Thor's father?" Steve asked.

"That it would," The elevator doors opened and Fury took a look around the room as they headed out. "They were recently under attack and believe that it signals a greater threat to come."

"So he sent Thor?" Steve asked.

Fury sighed, "Yes and no." He peered around to the counter and saw Coulson sipping on coffee. "The big bad we are against is called Thanos and he is extremely strong, smart, magical and pissed off."

"Magical?" Steve frowned. "Like Loki?"

"Not as powerful apparently," Fury frowned. "Which is why Odin decided that Loki is going to help us take him down."

Steve blinked. "Last I heard, Loki was dead."

Fury frowned, "Evidently not."

"Where is he?" Steve asked.

"Around," Fury answered. "I asked Natasha to detain him so I could talk to you before you saw him."

"He's here?" Steve stared at him. "Just walking around?"

"He's helping," Fury frowned, not believing his own statement.

The elevator dinged and they all turned to see Tony and Bruce get off. "Hey Cap!" Tony grinned.

"Uh, we're looking for…."Bruce looked around. "Never mind."

"Loki's not here," Fury told him.

"We're looking for Thor actually," Tony told him. "He's the one that can get in touch with the other magic-y guy."

Fury furrowed his brow, "What?"

Natasha came out the door leading to the stairs, "Thor's downstairs in the gym."

"Nat!" Steve made his way to the red head and gave her a big hug

"You really need to stop losing your phone," Natasha grinned as she hugged him back.

"Where's Loki?" Fury asked Natasha.

"Thor said he was on the roof with Jane and Darcy," Natasha shrugged.

Fury, Natasha and Steve exited the elevator to see Jane reading a book by the pool. A few seconds later Darcy popped out of the pool and gasped for air.

"Where's Loki," Fury asked. Jane pointed to the pool without looking up.

Thor popped up out of the water as well. He leaned against the side of the pool and smiled, "greetings."

"Thor," Steve nodded at him. Darcy blinked and then looked down at Thor in confusion.

Natasha tilted her head and smirked, "It's okay, he knows already."

Thor's features shifted into Loki's.

"How in the hell?" Fury glared at him and then at Natasha.

"Remember, Thor said he could look like anyone," Natasha told him.

"Yes, like anyone-not specific people," Fury glared at Loki who smirked back at him.

"Loki," Steve nodded in greeting.

Loki turned and saluted him.

"Tony mentioned wanting to get some magic guy here," Natasha said as she walked to Loki.

Loki pulled himself out of the pool. He looked almost comical in the green swim trunks he was wearing. "Frey. They are wanting to test their device on other magic."

"Does it not work on you?" Fury asked.

"It does," Loki told him. "But not all magic is the same. It is a safety precaution." He turned to Natasha. "I need to borrow your internet."

"No." Natasha answered.

"Jane won't let me borrow hers."

"Smart," Natasha grinned.

"Darcy said it's because I would look at porn," Loki continued.

"Don't tell him what that is," Jane said without looking up from her book. "I've managed to not tell Thor what it is and I want to keep it that way."

"If you want him to care about our 'realm'," Darcy grinned. "That would be the way to do it."

"Why do you want the internet," Natasha looked at him.

Loki tilted his head, "To bring this realm to its knees from its most trusted source."

Natasha crossed her arms amused.

"I wish to goodle myself," Loki answered.

Natasha laughed, " 'google' you mean 'google'. " She pulled out her phone and pulled up the internet. Loki looked over her shoulder. "Exactly what are you looking for?" Loki muttered into her ear. "I'll let you know right now that everyone thinks you slept with a horse." She grinned ear to ear.

Dinner was interesting to Steve. They had ordered a lot of pizza. He thought they would never finish it but it turned out that Loki could out-eat Thor which was quite the accomplishment.

"So, we all have 'magic'?" Steve asked after Tony explained the project.

"That's what Loki says," Tony nodded.

"What Thanos, Loki and Frey have is the ability to manipulate it," Thor explained.

Loki snorted, "Frey can hardly manipulate anything."

"He can do a lot," Thor shrugged.

"If you kept at it you would have been as powerful as Frey," Loki smirked.

Thor frowned, "we are not-"

"Remember the love spell?" Loki grinned.

"I remember setting you on fire," Thor grinned and stuffed a slice of pizza in his mouth.

"Well there was that, but that was because you got horse hair and not Sif's hair," Loki rolled his eyes.

"Sif?" Jane raised a brow. She glanced at her boyfriend who just shook his head.

"Thor adored her as a child," Loki grinned.

"Watch your tongue brother," Thor warned. Loki paused and decided to take a drink instead.

"I assume there's a good story behind this?" Natasha asked amused.

Loki shook his head but Thor grinned.

"Okay, now I'm curious," Steve grinned.

"Thor," Loki began, "was absolutely in love with Sif as a child and wanted me to teach him magic to win her heart. Simple as that."
"Which was because she was in love with you," Thor pointed out.

"She was never in love with me," Loki sighed as if they had had this discussion many times.

"She kissed you."

"To prove a point."

"And then you fell into the juice bowl." Thor grinned broadly.

Loki glared at him, "and then you got punched for asking if she wanted to practice on you."

Thor laughed, "I always figured you two would end up together."

Loki nearly choked on his drink. He took a deep breath and shook his head, "trust me: she does not like me."

"I think she protests too much."

"I think she protests just enough," Loki argued. "She's in love with someone else."
"And how do you know that?" Thor asked.

"She asked me to look like him one night, but I declined." Loki shrugged.

"Do you do that often?" Darcy raised a brow and Loki just grinned.

"Why did you decline? Have you not wished to lay with her?" Thor blinked in confusion.

"As you know, I have to think of the image I want to retain." Loki paused as Thor downed his drink, "and there was no way I would be able to perform with that image in my head." He stared pointedly at his older brother who was too busy drinking his drink to notice.

Jane looked between the two gods and raised a brow at Loki.

"Has she not tried to win his affection?" Thor asked after setting down his drink.

"The guy is quite moronic," Loki smirked. He glanced at Jane, "Also, I'm almost positive he's not interested."

"You and me are going to have a long talk at some point," Jane told him.

"I'm not allowed alone with Thor's lovers," Loki grinned.

Thor frowned, "No you are not!"

Loki laughed.

"Last time I left you alone you and Amora-"
"I thought you liked that twisty thing I taught her," Loki jerked his head away before Thor could smack him.

"I'm quite sure all of Asgard enjoyed that, but it is not the point," Thor grumbled. He ducked his head when Jane gave him a questioning look.

A hand graced Steve's shoulder and he looked up to see Natasha smiling at him. He could still hear the brothers arguing in the back ground.

"You doing okay?" She asked.

"It will take some getting used to," Steve answered honestly. "But if he's as strong as Fury says then we need him on our side."

I'm having a tough time writing Steve. Which might be because he is one of my least favorite characters: too goody-goody. I like a bit of evil in a man XD Hopefully I will get over the writer's block with him and be able to write quite a bit more. I have the basic idea for the next chapter. So I will hopefully start working on it later tonight. Someone bitch at me to do it XD
