"Um...excuse me?"
Tony and the others were at the New Avengers Compound except a select few. Thor, who was still at Asgard at the point in time. Wanda and Vision, who were on a walk and on their way to the conpound. Peter, who was never really invited to these things him being both underage and not really considered an avenger and Bucky (for obvious reasons) weren't there.
They had all planned a gathering or rather party (Avengers Only) to celebrate many things. Pietro was apparently still alive and well. Some might say he was even easy to find (Not really though). Steve and Tony were getting engaged. Bruce and Nat were getting even closer and for some reason the Hulk didn't come out anymore, which was a bit disappointing for the team but a huge relief for Bruce. The Avengers had just recently crashed another Hydra facility and found another survivor of the Hyrda experiments who later became a HUGE asset to the team. In more than one way. And Thor, well he was coming to earth and planned to stay for quite some time according to what he'd said the last time he'd seen them. So all in all there was MUCH to celebrate.
Vis and Wanda entered the compound and sat with the others chatting about random things. Steve was a bit quiet and down because his best friend wasn't there but tried not to show it. Now the only person or rather god missing was Thor. The team didn't think much of his tardiness (him never being early anyway) as they thought he just had alot of packing to do but much more than packing was going on up in Asgard.
ASGARD
Frigga hurried to Loki's cell and used her magic to break down the wall that stood between them and pull Loki out. Loki ran as fast as he could, his limp not helping, along side his mother. He was thinking of ways to get his children to him without draining himself of what little magic he had left completely. Hiemdall could only use the Bifrost once without getting caught yet. Summoning them would take too much concentration and power. And he definitely was not entrusting the lives of his offsprings to his idiot brother. So leave it to his mother it was.
As the two crossed the bridge of the Bifrost Loki saw Thor in the distance talking to Heimdall and making strange hand gestures. Of course. Frigga stopped running gaining the attention of her younger and pulled him into a tight embrace.
"As much as I love your hugs mother, I do not think now is the best of times." Loki urged not resisting the touch despite his words.
"I can only go so far with you, my son, this...is where we part." Frigga sighed and held him tighter. Closer. The younger returned the hug and kissed her cheek feeling nothing but love and gratitude towards the only person he considered family.
"I love you mother." He whispered as he broke off the hug and continued to run towards his elder.
"As do I..." Frigga smiled as she watched her son leave for good. She could only hope Loki would be safer on earth than he was on Asgard.
Loki caught his breath as he reached his brother his body aching and screaming in pain. Thor smiled sincerely but Loki could see the pity in his eyes. He hated that. The way they filled with pity and hurt and sadness whenever something happened. Or with possession and the desire to protect. It made him feel small. Weak. And he despised it. He straightened himself ignoring the pain as best as possible and scoffed.
"Get me off this wretched realm." He sneered annoyance clear in his voice. Heimdall opened the Bifrost and wished the two safe travels. He twisted his sword and the two were sucked into the Bifrost. Loki waited. And waited. For his mother to work her magic and for his children to appear in front of him. But it never happened. Sensing he was nearer to the realm they were on he used the last of his magic to summon them on his own grabbing them and holding them in a tight embrace. He smiled down at his sleeping children before losing his conscious as well. Thor saw his sleeping brother and tried to grab him but before he could they landed outside the compound Loki falling on his back but still protecting his children. Thor sighed at his failure and scooped his brother up making his way to the compound as quickly as possible.
All eyes were on him and before Tony could even get out a snotty and mocking remark Thor dropped to his knees and lowered his head his dirty blonde locks falling over his face.
"My friends," Thor pleaded, "Please have mercy on us and help my brother. He has been through the worst of the worst and can no longer rely on himself to do things."
There was a long pause of silence before Tony scoffed and folded his arms the tapping of his feet and rustling of his clothes audible in the silence as his face twisted in confusion and disbelief.
" Uhm.....excuse me?"
