Author's Note: So enjoy this chapter. Suggestiions/ideas welcome btw.

Loki awoke with a jolt, gasping as a searing pain shot through his chest. He opened his eyes, regretting doing so immediately. Everything was spinning. He was spinning. No, he was falling. He couldn't tell if it was up or down but he knew he was moving. The Tikilashi creäture was gone as far as he was able to tell.

Without warning he felt himself thrust harshly onto a cold, hard surface. Everything was bright, hurting his eyes which felt like they had been without light for eternity. He slowly looked up to see two red eyes staring down at him. Thanos towered over him at his height of 6'7", grinning cruelly. "Welcome back Trickster. Now we can get back to work."

Loki looked up at him. "We have a deal Thanos. I trade you the tessaract for Tony's antidote." the god said, rising to his full height of 6'2". Thanos' smile widened. "I do not think you understand why you are here Loki." he said. Loki's eyes narrowed. "And why am I here Thanos?" he asked. "The Other needs you to act as a...Well, he needs your magic." he said. "What are you talking about?" he demanded. Thanos smiled.

He snapped his fingers. Loki gasped as a cold metal collar clamped over his neck. "What-what is this?" the god demanded. He could feel it tampering with his magic, cutting it off.

"You need not worry. You most likely will not be conscious for it." he said.

Hel stared down at the man lying on her table. She was starting to see why her father was so interested in him. 'He is handsome enough.' she thought, as she waited for some of the poisoned blood in the man drained out into the bowl she was holding. Her eyes trailed down to the glowing object in his chest. She leaned closer to examine it closer. From what she could see, it was implanted inside him, the skin around it smooth. She tapped it lightly, smiling at the sound her nails made against it.

As she stood, unfocused brown eyes caught her attention. "Well I see you are awake. That is good. But you should rest. Save your strength." she advised. Tony closed his eyes, wordlessly wondering who the woman standing over him was and what had happened to her face.

Jane Foster sat in her apartment sipping a glass of wine, across from Darcy Lewis. She didn't know how the other woman had gotten into her apartment, but she was grateful for the company. They jumped as a loud crack went through the air. Jane stood, walking into her living room with Darcy close behind her, holding a bat. Darcy stepped forward, swinging at empty air. "Come on I know you're in here! Just let me hit you a few times and then you can leave." she said. Jane scoffed, rolling her eyes.

"Jane Foster and Darcy Lewis, I only wish to speak with you." came a familiar voice. Thor stepped forward into the light, clad in full armor. "Thor?" Jane said angrily. "Where have you been?" she demanded.

Darcy looked at him skeptically, as she threw the bat onto the couch. "Take off your shirt thing." she demanded. Thor frowned at that. "Darcy!" Jane gasped. The raven haired woman shrugged. "What? We need to make sure it's him. And I'm a woman with needs." she said. "Well if you're that needy, go and get your own god boy...uh." she looked over at Thor. The god smiled at her.

"Go get your own god friend." she finished. Darcy rolled her eyes. "So Thor, if your bro isn't in god jail or whatever, is he in a relationship?" she asked. Jane stared at her and Thor shifted uncomfortably.

"Well, is he? Or if he is can he just give me a quickie?" she asked. Thor shook his head. "Loki is gone." he said. Jane stepped forward. "What do you mean gone? I thought he was supposed to be charged for New York." she said. "How did you know of New York?" Thor asked. "It was on tv for like a month." Darcy said. "So what happened to him? Where is he?" Jane asked, pulling him over to the sofa, her earlier anger forgotten.

"He...he is attempting to save the life of Anthony Stark." he said. "What happened to Ironman?" Darcy asked. "There was a trial..." he paused, not really sure what he was going to say.

"After New York, Loki was poisoned somehow. It happened before, but the Man of Iron saved him." he then began to tell them of the events that had happened after he ad taken his brother back to Asgard, up to the point where they were now. Darcy let out a groan when she heard about Loki and Tony's relationship.

"Why does your brother have to be gay?" she asked. Thor glared at her. During his time on earth, when he had been banished, he had learned a few things. "He is not gay. He is...argr." he said defensively. Darcy just looked at him. "What is argr?" she asked. Thor sighed. "It is when...a male lies with another. But for amusement." he said. Darcy threw her head back and laughed. "Gay!" she cried. She stopped when a loud clap of thunder broke across the sky.

"Hey dude. I'm just having a laugh here." she said. Thor nodded as the rumbling outside subsided.

"So...Loki is risking his life to save Tony?" Jane asked. "Yes. He...I believe he loves him very much." he said. Darcy smiled. "Well at least he's gettin' some." she said. Thor frowned again. "I do not believe that he and Stark have engaged in such relations yet." he said. Darcy whistled. "Hey, let me know if Loki is feeling horny or anything. I'm here or him." she said. Thor sighed. "I shall...let him know of your offer." he promised. "You're a good man Thor." Darcy said, raising her wine glass.

The god turned to Jane. "So why are you here?" she asked. "He wanna hit that!" Darcy exclaimed. "Be quiet Darcy." Jane said. "I am here because I am hoping that you may be able to help me. My mother used a lot of magic to get me here." he said. Jane nodded. "What can I do?" she asked. "I need a way to protect Loki. Heimdal is working on finding him. In case he does, I need a way to protect my brother should those who controlled him try to attack my realm and any other." he said.

"So you want me to create a weapon?" she asked. Thor nodded. "I have materials should you need them." he offered. He pulled out a glowing blue tube. Her eyes widened and she nodded. "I'm gonna need to get to my lab, but I think I can do...something." she said. Thor smiled. "Thank you Jane Foster." he said, pulling her into a hug. "C'mon dude. Give her some sugar. With tongue." Darcy urged. Jane just rolled her eyes.

Author's Note: So yes Jane and Darcy are in this now. Whooo-hooo! Jane/Thor later on possibly. Maybe not. What do you think? Again suggestons/ideas welcome. Come on. You can do it!
