I didn't die! So very sorry it took so long. I got caught up with the last week of my summer classes and this chapter was (and is) uber long. I was almost done with it when my wonderful toddler decided to dump a whole freaking soda on my laptop. Imagine my dismay as i picked the damn thing up and soda poured out of the edge of the wonderfully expensive laptop I loved dearly. FYI that is now a paperweight while I save up for a new motherboard, BUT after a week I was able to get someone to pull my documents off of it. And all of you are like, OMG why the hell is she still talking? Bring on the Loki...I shall.
Loki didn't bother with much this morning. He tossed on his Midgardian clothes and headed for food. He didn't want to stay in his room any longer. If he did then he would just think. Specifically he would overanalyze his dreams from the night before.
Loki ran his fingers through his hair. He had bothered to make sure it was looking decent, but he knew there were a few hairs going crazy. He sighed as he entered the elevator. The dream from last night was extremely vivid. Then again Loki always had vivid dreams. It was a wonderful thing when he was dreaming of sleeping with beautiful women, but horrible when it was a nightmare.
Loki nearly snorted. He, of all people, actually had a legitimate nightmare the night before. He shook his head and headed out the elevator doors as soon as they opened. He headed straight for the kitchen, ignoring the glares that Coulson, Fury and Barton sent his way from the couch. Steve was sitting at the table with Thor, but they both stopped talking when Loki headed into the kitchen.
Loki ignored them all. He grabbed the small Midgardian eggs out of the fridge and the cheese that was shredded for convenience. He paused and grabbed the bag that said 'ham' on it. It was a tiny pig, Loki assumed, to have such small quarters to be sliced up that way. He rummaged around the cabinets until he found a bowl and a fork.
The conversation started back up behind him and Loki felt somewhat relieved that the tension was gone. He normally wouldn't care, but his nerves were slightly frazzled. If Natasha had stuck around this morning he would have cleared his mind with a vigorous bout of sex but she had disappeared.
His nightmare was weird to him. The sky was red from the sunset and the city around him was in crumbles. Not a strange sight to him seeing as he had been in numerous battles before. Loki poured the scrambled up eggs into a pan. He frowned as he watched them bubble. He tossed the cheese in and tore up the 'ham' so that it would fit in the omelet; a delicacy he had seen on the 'food' channel.
Dead eyes.
Loki sighed. Every time he closed his eyes he would see dead eyes staring back at him. It would be fine if it was Fury's or Barton's but for some reason it was bothering him to see Stark's eyes staring at him. He assumed the blank stare bothered him more than the others because he could always see calculating and intelligence in those eyes. The only thing worse was Natasha's blue eyes forever closed as she lay in a jumbled mess on the ground. Pieces of Thor were scattered over the bodies and Hulk's howls of rage could be heard. And then they weren't. A horrible silence in which Loki knew the beast was no more.
But that wasn't the fate for Loki. Loki's nightmare had quickly changed to him fleeing in desperation. He would not be so lucky to be killed. He would be pulled apart piece by piece and put together again. His life would extend to the full 5,000 years and it would be full of pain and torture.
"Loki?" Thor placed a hand on Loki's shoulder.
Loki turned his head to show he was listening. His eyes stared at the omelet, but his mind still strayed onto his nightmare.
"Are you alright, brother?" Thor asked. He nodded at Loki's left hand.
Loki followed his gaze and saw that his hand had crushed the edge of the counter. He sighed and pulled his hand away. He shrugged to answer Thor's question and finished making his omelet.
"Rough morning?" Steve tried when the god of mischief sat down next to him and Thor.
"Couldn't sleep," Loki replied.
Thor looked up and rose an eyebrow. Loki only couldn't sleep when he was having bad dreams.
"I'm having the same problem." Steve smiled. "I've tried those energy drink things and boy!"
Both Loki and Thor looked at him in absolute confusion.
"Give either one of them an energy drink and I will shoot you," Natasha groused as she made her way to the kitchen. She didn't dare look at the god of mischief. Her nerves were already on edge and working out had not helped.
"Is it like the coffee?" Thor asked.
Natasha frowned and busied herself with making her own cup.
"Natasha is not exactly a morning person," Steve warned.
"I've dealt with Loki for a thousand years, I think I will be fine." Thor grinned. "Though you should see him when he's imbibed way too much…." Thor's eyes lit up suddenly. "Brother I have an idea!"
Loki stopped mid-bite, "That's frightening."
"Remember the battle of the Sryeja?" Thor grinned.
"How could I forget, you made a twenty foot spider explode on us," Loki shivered.
Thor waved it off like it was nothing, "I'm talking about the night before."
"When you taunted the Sryeja to 'go ahead and send the beasts'?" Loki frowned.
"Forget the spiders," Thor grinned. "The day before!"
Loki pondered for a moment and then his face broke out into a mischievous grin. "I assume you have a plan."
"A plan for what?" Natasha frowned.
Both gods looked at her with innocence, "nothing."
Steve stared at the screen. He could feel his skin crawl as he watched the god tear the monster apart by just jerking his hands. He sighed and moved the video back to when the creatures had first come in.
As frightening as Loki's magical ability was, it was also unnerving how strong the god was too. When Steve had fought him before, he was able to knock him off his feet. But now he was wondering what would have happened if they hadn't been interrupted. What if Loki hadn't wanted to be captured?
Steve tilted his head and leaned in toward the large screen. He turned the sound all the way up and could hear the roar of the battle outside. Underneath the many sounds he heard Loki's strange chant. He also noted that his hands continued to be placed on the creature's skull.
"So, he has to do some hocus pocus first," Steve said to himself. He frowned and rewound the video some more. He watched as Thor told Loki to perform the spell.
Loki had saved them. He had done it without making his presence known which would give them a great advantage in the upcoming battle. But this isn't the way that Steve wanted to win the war. This wasn't right.
Bruce reached for his water while watching the TV. Not the most practical use of the lab, but it suited his purpose of getting the hell out of everyone's way. Minus Tony. Tony was fiddling with his Iron Man suit behind him but he was being quiet. A rarity for him.
Every time he went to the upper levels, Bruce would hear about Loki and that horrific spell he performed. If Thor was present then there would be a loud argument. Jane was also on Loki's side. Natasha, Darcy and Steve seemed to be staying out of the conversation for the most part.
Bruce was actually on Loki's side, though he wasn't broadcasting it. He wondered what was different from unleashing the beast compared to what Loki did. They were saved, and Loki had a lot more control over it. Bruce sighed. Loki had actually prevented him from turning into the beast.
An alarm blared next to him.
Bruce jerked up and looked down at his tablet which was the source of the alarm. The alarm to let them know that an extremely large amount of magic was being used.
"Where's it coming from?" Tony had his screwdriver in his grips as if it could protect him.
"In the tower," Bruce frowned. "I think Thor's room."
Tony's eyes widened, "He's actually going to kill Thor."
Tony pounded on Thor's door and waited. After several moments he pounded again.
Bruce tried the handle and pushed the door open.
Tony opened his mouth to make a remark but it died in his throat. Inside the room was a place he had never seen before. It looked like the outdoor tropics. Complete with several trees, birds flying on the horizon and a hot springs in the middle of the floor.
Thor waved from the hot springs while Loki, who had his back to them, tilted his head back and grinned.
"How in the hell?" Tony managed. He raised a brow as he realized there were extremely sexy women walking around in almost nothing.
"Um," Bruce turned to where the door had shut. "The door's gone."
"Join us!" Thor grinned.
"What?—You know what, I don't care." Tony began pulling off his clothes.
"You made a hot springs in the room?" Bruce eyed Loki.
"It's tradition to enjoy oneself the eve before battle," Thor told them.
"But seeing as we can't pin point when that is, especially after that Chitauri attack-" Loki shrugged. "We're celebrating now."
"Are you two naked?' Bruce blinked.
"Interested?" Loki grinned.
"This is how Asgardians swim," Thor frowned. "I still don't understand why Midgardians feel they must cover themselves at all times."
"They are ashamed," Loki smirked.
"Nope," Tony tossed his boxers across the room and they landed on a tree. He splashed in and sat down with a loud "ahhhhhhh."
"Maybe we should head back to the lab?" Bruce pointed to where the door was.
"And do what? Watch more Judge Judy?" Tony leaned back in the warmth of the water.
Bruce frowned.
"Join us!" Thor grinned. "It is a celebration for all."
"Except Fury," Loki muttered.
"Brother requests that Fury not be here," Thor shrugged. "But there is much! We have roasted pig, ale, and finer drinks." He held up a cup.
"Can I try?" Tony glanced at the drink.
"Drink it slow, I believe it might be much for you," Thor told him as he handed it over.
Bruce slipped into the hot springs in his boxers and gave a smile as he saw Tony's face twist as he took a giant swig. Both of the gods laughed.
"So giant party?" Tony licked his lips. "Just for the hell of it?"
"It's a way of storing good memories of friends and family," Bruce stated. "In case they are lost in battle the next day."
"That wasn't depressing at all," Loki snorted.
A rather large breasted brunette leaned over to offer Tony a drink.
"Loki, I like the way you think." Tony grinned at the woman and took the drink.
"They are just illusions," Loki stated. "But if you wish for more I can make an inanimate object change shape and become animate."
Tony blinked, "I am almost 100% sure that Pepper would still count that as cheating."
"Have you done that?" Bruce eyed the god.
Loki shook his head, "I like the challenge of laying with someone." He eyed the man and smirked.
Tony chuckled and Thor smiled and shook his head. He was aware of many of his brother's shenanigans.
"It would not be in your favor to get him angry," Thor grinned.
"But angry sex is the greatest invention," Loki sighed. "But I'd rather not be on the receiving end of the beast."
Tony snorted into his drink.
"Unless you want to, then I'd stop." Bruce grumbled. He took the drink from the brunette that walked by.
"Is it bothering you so much?" Loki smirked.
Bruce frowned, "Sex makes your blood pressure rise."
Tony winced as he realized what Bruce was getting at, but the two gods stared at him in confusion.
"If my blood pressure goes up I become the Hulk," Bruce further explained.
Loki blinked.
"So you haven't..." Thor frowned.
"Nope," Bruce sighed. "I tried but it almost ended badly…"
Loki blinked again.
"I think you broke Loki," Tony pointed at the god.
"You can't lay with a woman?" Loki blinked.
"I can't lay with my hand," Bruce took a large gulp of the drink.
Loki turned to Thor, "We have to fix this."
"Brother-"
"There's got to be a spell or something," Loki eyed the man. "This is torture."
Tony snorted.
"Drink this!" Loki handed Bruce a much stronger drink. "We can get you to drink enough that you have low blood pressure, but enough to lay with someone."
"I'm not laying with you," Bruce eyed him.
"I don't care who you lay with, just lay with someone." Loki seemed actually quite concerned.
"I do think that Loki is actually quite upset by your predicament," Tony grinned and took a drink.
Steve knocked on Loki's door and waited patiently for him to answer. After a few moments he knocked again.
"What you up to?" Natasha headed for the tall blond. She had just been looking for him so that they could go sparring again.
"Trying to find Loki," he tried the handle and found the room to be open. "Loki?" He entered the room and took a look around. The room itself was mostly bare. It was clean and tidy with only a book on the nightstand to even hint that someone spent their time in there. Steve picked up the book and noted it was of creatures of the Earth. He sighed and tossed the book down; the god wasn't here.
"Why are you looking for him?" Natasha glanced at the bed. She tried not to think about how they had spent the night before. She furrowed her brow as a thought struck her.
"I just want to talk," Steve frowned.
Natasha shrugged as they exited the room, "Stark is able to track magic-maybe he can find him."
Steve nodded and started for the elevator. He paused outside of Thor's room. He sighed and knocked on the door. Maybe the elder god might be able to track his brother down quicker.
"Go away! I'm busy looking at my muscles," Thor's voice sounded. It was immediately followed by lots of laughter.
Natasha and Steve looked at each other and opened the door.
Inside Thor was attempting to drown someone in a hot springs while Tony and Bruce clutched their sides in laughter. The hot springs in question was somehow in the middle of the outdoor tropics. Thor let go and Loki popped out of the water laughing his ass off.
"I do not say that!" Thor crossed his arms.
Tony snorted and grabbed another drink off of a brunette's tray. "Ooh can they party too?" he pointed his drink at the agents.
"The more the merrier!" Thor grinned and grabbed another drink.
"I think I might be sick," Bruce sank into the water slightly.
Loki frowned and pulled the drink from him, "perhaps that was a bit too much."
"What are you doing?" Natasha blinked at the scene. Steve looked back to where the door had shut and found that there was no longer a door but instead a beach.
"Trying to help Bruce lay with a woman," Loki stated.
Tony shook his head, "At this point he'd have whiskey dick."
"What is 'whiskey dick'?" Thor questioned.
Natasha walked up to the hot springs, "you drink too much and can't get it up."
Loki and Thor smirked and said something in Norse and chuckled.
"So, why with the tropics?" Steve asked as he crossed his arms.
"We are having a celebration!" Thor grinned. "Join us!"
Tony grinned, "If Captain Spangles is wearing American flag boxers, I will die."
"I am not." Steve ground out.
"Because the agent has stolen them," Loki grinned.
Bruce choked on his drink and Natasha couldn't help but smile.
"Join us!" Thor stated again at the agents.
Natasha shrugged and began pulling off her clothes. Steve sighed and followed suit.
"See, no flags." Steve gestured to his solid blue undergarments. Natasha shook her head and slipped into the hot springs in the space between Tony and Bruce.
"Where's the sexy men?" Natasha raised a brow at Loki. Loki flicked his hand and several buff men began walking around as well. "Much better."
"Really Nat?" Steve scooted in beside her.
"What is that," Loki leaned over Bruce to look at Natasha's bra. It was neon pink with black lace covering it.
"Ok, I feel much more than I need to in this position," Bruce blinked in surprise. He pushed on Loki to get the god off of him to no avail.
"Women in Midgard have interesting undergarments," Thor grinned. "Jane has special garments called….laun….laudrei?"
"Lingerie," Natasha grinned. She swatted Loki's hand away from the lace on her bra.
"You're no fun," Loki sat back down in his spot much to Bruce's relief.
Natasha grinned, "I'll let you feel the bra-" She paused as she got Loki's full attention. "If you tell me what you're so scared of."
"I am not scared of anything," Loki crossed his arms. He glared at Thor who snorted into his drink. "Why do you want to know so badly?"
"Why don't you want me to know? You didn't even flinch when Thor threatened to tell Fury," Natasha told him.
"What are we talking about?" Steve looked around.
"Thor made Loki stop attacking during some sparring session by threatening to tell Natasha his biggest fear,' Bruce said sleepily.
"Men tend to use fears against each other when needed. Women tend to use fears against others for sport." Loki shrugged. "I am no longer afraid, but I don't really feel like dealing with others trying to scare me."
Thor leaned forward and pulled Natasha to him to whisper in her ear, "Brother will think I am telling you his fear." He pulled back and grinned.
Natasha laughed as she realized that Thor was attempting to pull a trick on Loki. She turned to Loki who was now eyeing the two of them. "I'll have to remember that."
"It's nothing but a childish fear I have outgrown," Loki shrugged.
"No. That would be your fear of thunder," Thor grinned.
Loki glared at him. "What about your fear of water?"
"I nearly drowned!" Thor waved his hand dismissively.
Steve blinked. "You were afraid of thunder. How does that work out?"
"Father," Loki rolled his eyes. "Would have some control of thunder when he got really upset. This was before Thor took over it. And when father got upset, he wasn't good at controlling it…."
Thor winced as he thought about the old storms.
"This was back when we were extremely small children," Loki pointed out. "We weren't more than…15?"
Thor nodded. "We were extremely small. Mother still wouldn't let us past the big gates at this point."
"Wait, 15?" Steve asked.
"About this tall," Thor used his arms to show the height of a toddler. He was getting used to explaining ages to Darcy and Jane this way.
"Careful with that," Loki pointed to the drink that Steve was drinking quickly. "It is much stronger than your drinks and I don't fancy telling Fury why his golden boy drowned."
"I can't get drunk," Steve told them.
Loki raised a brow, "I'll take that as a challenge."
Jane sighed as she exited the elevator. She and Darcy had been out with Selvig eating lunch at one of the open restaurants quite a ways away. What she wanted to do now was curl up with her books.
"So research mode?" Darcy questioned.
Jane nodded as she opened the door. They both immediately stopped dead.
"Jane!" Thor held up his drink in greeting from what appeared to be a hot spring. Next to him Tony raised his drink that was just handed to him by a large breasted woman. Next to him was Steve who had his arm behind Natasha. Bruce was nearly passed out between Natasha and Loki who was smirking at his brother to his right.
"What in the hell?" Jane took several steps inside and Darcy followed her.
"Oh this is way better than research," Darcy grinned at the scene before them.
"Where is my stuff?" Jane looked around frantically. She noted even the door was gone now.
"Put away," Loki answered. "This is merely an illusion…for the most part."
"The hot tub is good to go?" Darcy grinned to which Loki nodded.
"We need my books." Jane frowned.
"Dude," Darcy waved her hands at the tub. "There is literally a superhero soup in front of us and you want to do research?"
"We are about to be attacked!" Jane explained.
"I'm not a superhero," Loki waved his hand at her.
Darcy grinned, "Nope, you are the spice that gives it a kick."
Loki smirked and took another drink.
"We are celebrating friends," Thor explained. "A joyous occasion before battle."
Jane blinked, "oh, so when friends are lost-"
Thor held up a hand to stop the explanation again, "Join us."
"There's not enough room," Jane grumbled.
"Yes there is," Loki stated and put his drink on the edge of the springs.
Darcy grinned, expecting to see Loki's magic make the hot springs bigger.
Loki grabbed Bruce and tossed his body over his shoulder, "you all will blame me if he drowns anyway." Loki stood and stepped out of the hot springs. A mat appeared close by and Loki laid him down. He made his way back over to the hot tub where Jane and Darcy had slipped into his previous spot.
"Scoot," Loki slid between Darcy and Natasha.
"Really?" Natasha scooted and made Steve scoot too. Darcy didn't seem to have a problem with the situation.
"I think this just got a bit cozy," Steve put both arms out to prevent from touching Tony.
"How the hell did I end up with only guys next to me?" Tony complained.
"Are you naked?" Steve questioned.
"What is that?" Loki stared at Jane's bra which was a frilly pink push up.
Thor put his arm around Jane protectively and glared at Loki. Loki glanced to Darcy and was surprised to see a black bra with neon colored stars all over it.
"Why would one wear this?" Loki poked the bra.
"Hey, I am not above tazing you," Darcy told him.
Loki raised an eyebrow.
"A jolt of electricity," Natasha told him.
Loki rolled his eyes, "because that's never happened to me before." Loki glanced back to Natasha and looked between the bras. He ran his fingers over the fabric of Natasha's which made her swat his hand away again. He immediately turned to try the fabric of Darcy's.
"Do you guys not have bras in Asgard?" Tony asked.
"We have undergarments but they are not so colorful," Thor told him.
"So, Thor was like this with you at first?" Darcy scooted closer to Jane.
"Uhh," Jane turned slightly red.
Loki frowned, "is the other undergarment the same color?"
"Here," Loki heard Natasha's voice as a hand thrust a black and pink bra in front of his face. He turned to see that she held her breasts with her other arm. He grabbed the bra and immediately began inspecting it.
Natasha smirked and sunk in the water a bit. "How to keep an Asgardian male busy…"
"Hand him female underwear." Jane finished and grinned.
"I'm pretty sure that keeps any guy busy," Darcy stated. She watched in amusement as Loki played with the clasp.
"I prefer what's in the underwear," Tony stated.
Natasha grinned as Tony began describing a previous conquest. She let her mind drift back to what she had been thinking earlier in Loki's room. Loki had been holding her in a 'cuddling' position so that he could heal her smoothly. They must have fallen asleep in their exhaustion because she couldn't remember moving from that position. More than likely they had tipped over and ended up 'cuddling' due to their previous position. Loki had held her intimately because he was healing her. No love. No cuddling.
She glanced at Loki who was pulling at the lace in the bra and shook her head. She had felt so much relief when she realized that he wasn't getting attached. She wasn't ready for this to end.
"What is the weirdest place you have ever had sex?" Tony asked Steve.
"Not exactly appropriate," Steve cheeks turned slightly red.
"On a frozen lake," Natasha piped up.
"In the slide at a playground," Darcy grinned and looked to Jane.
Jane sighed, "The top bunk in my boyfriend's dorm room."
"That's not weird," Darcy scoffed. Thor's face begged to differ.
"His two friends were on the bottom bunk," Jane turned red.
Tony looked to Thor who shook his head.
"Well, I was halfway in my console," Tony stated. He nodded to Thor again.
"I laid with a woman in a cave full of diamonds," Thor shrugged. "But it matters not because Loki wins."
Tony furrowed his brow and they all looked to Loki who was grinning.
"On a rainbow," Loki smirked.
"How do you have sex on a rainbow," Darcy shook her head at the idea of it.
"Magic," Loki smirked again and wriggled his eyebrows.
"It is his boots," Thor stated. "He can walk on anything-OW!" He glared at Loki who had just kicked him.
"Ok, what is the most bad ass thing you have ever done?" Tony tried again. "I had women dancing for me to ACDC as America's greatest peace keeper."
"I took out 12 men with one shot of my shield," Steve grinned. "They all hit the ground at the same time."
"When I figured out how to help take down those elf guys," Jane grinned.
Natasha smiled, "I drove a motorcycle into a plane taking off and took out all the guys in it. And then landed the plane perfectly."
"I tazed a god," Darcy grinned. Thor chuckled.
"I was able to take down this rock creature with one blow. It made the rest of the rioters stop immediately." Thor grinned.
Loki frowned, "I think it's when I helped Thor with his powers. He had created a giant storm and we combined our talents and were able to create a fire tornado and fireballs falling from the sky."
"That is awesome," Darcy blinked.
"It is. I change mine," Thor stated.
"You can't change," Loki shook his head.
"I can," Thor argued.
"What's the kinkiest thing you have ever done?" Darcy tried.
"Kinkiest?" Thor, Loki and Steve asked.
"You all need to get out more," Natasha downed her drink.
"What's kinkiest?" Loki turned to her.
"What's the most interesting thing you have ever done during sex or sex related stuff?" Natasha elaborated.
"I think I need a few more drinks before answering something like that," Steve grabbed a drink, though he was tilting a bit to the side already.
"Have you even gotten any since you defrosted?" Tony smirked.
"Lay off," Natasha kicked at Tony.
"Like," Darcy began, "have you ever done a rim job, foot stuff, whips, chains, strap on, angry sex or dressed up?"
"I'm not sure what all of that is," Thor stated. "But I'm sure that Loki's done it." Everyone laughed.
"What's a rim job?" Loki raised a brow. Natasha leaned forward and whispered in his ear. "…yes…foot stuff?...yes….whips-what I think it is?...yes….Strap on?..."
Loki twisted his mouth as he thought about that one. "….no….." Natasha sat back in her seat in surprise.
"The world is ending now. Loki hasn't done something sexual." Tony snorted.
"I turned into a woman and was with a man," Loki shrugged. "Does that count?"
"…..I….honestly don't know," Tony blinked. Natasha snorted into her hand.
"Would you like to see?" Loki grinned wickedly. "My female form is something to behold."
"Angry sex?" Thor questioned, trying to change the topic. "Why would someone be so angry during something so fun?"
"How are you with him?" Loki looked at Jane.
"I don't like angry sex," Jane frowned.
"What's the best angry sex you've had?" Darcy grinned as a sexy man handed her another drink.
Loki frowned as he thought. "Emotionally, it was when Amora grabbed me by the ear and started an argument. That was just anger."
"Why do it?" Steve questioned.
"To prove a point; to show I was better than her." Loki shrugged.
"So no lashing out?" Tony asked.
Loki chuckled, "the best physical angry sex I had…" he paused as he thought about it. "She came into my room and pushed me until I pinned her to the wall. I nearly broke her nose and she busted my lip. By the end of it we were covered in blood and bruises."
Natasha didn't allow the smirk to slip onto her face. She felt pride well up in her to know that she was the best in his mind. The Asgardian had been at it for a millennia after all.
"I once accidentally choked a guy so hard he passed out," Natasha stated.
"I believe it," Tony giggled.
"I think Tony's a bit drunk," Natasha grinned. To be honest she was feeling a bit warm herself.
Steve finished downing his drink, he wobbled and then laughed. "I think this Asgardian stuff might actually-might get me the drunk." He paused as he tried to discern what he just said.
"Who all is drunk?" Natasha grinned. Everyone but Darcy and Jane raised their hands.
"They need more drinks," Loki chuckled. He leaned against Natasha and tried to peak at her breasts.
"Darcy may Taser you, but I'll shoot you," Natasha warned him.
"Want to have sex?" Loki grinned.
"Aaaannnd no more alcohol for you," Natasha pulled his drink away while everyone laughed.
Thor snuggled up to Jane, "this was a great idea."
"You don't have many ideas," Loki grinned. "But when you do-" He held up a new drink that appeared out of nowhere. Natasha shook her head wondering why she bothered to take his first drink away.
"To family and friends!" Thor held up his own drink. "May your battles be great and your lives long and merry."
Everyone held up their drink.
Loki grinned to Thor. For the first time in a long time it felt like how it used to be. They felt like brothers on the eve of a great battle that they knew they would win.
Knocking sounded. "Thor?" Fury's voice sounded.
"Don't you dare!" Thor pointed at Loki.
Loki feigned innocence.
"I am busy," Thor answered loudly to the door.
"We didn't lock that," Jane muttered.
An opening door suddenly appeared. Both Director Fury and Selvig stared at them in surprise as the door opened completely.
"What in the hell?" Fury looked around the room. His eyes fell onto Loki. "Another one of your tricks?"
Loki shrugged. He was feeling rather warm and fuzzy at the moment and couldn't care what Fury thought of him.
Darcy giggled into her alcohol, "Someone is Furi-ous!"
Fury glared at the laughing drunken group. "What if the Chitauri attacked?"
Loki morphed into Fury with a pink afro, "What in the mother fucking hell if the Chitauri attacked?"
Natasha snorted into her drink. Steve held his face attempting not to laugh as the fake Fury mimicked the crazy eye that the real Fury was sending his way.
"I think the celebration is over," Thor held back a grin as Loki taunted Fury.
Okay, so hopefully that was semi-worth the wait. I am typing on my old laptop, which likes to turn off if I jostle it too much, but hopefully I will have the next chapter up by next weekend. I'm off to the fair tomorrow so YAY! Sorry, I am so amped up that I FINALLY got to post this damn thing! Love all you guys!
