A Deal
Thor woke up to the sun shining in his face. It wasn't the brightest sun he'd ever encountered but it certainly was bright enough to temporarily blind him. He groaned deeply as he got up and rubbed the tired out of his eyes.
He pulled the covers off him as he thought of his brother. His brother was always the first thing on his mind. He threw on some pants, thinking his companions might not appreciate him walking around naked, before marching into his brothers room.
He found two infants sleeping on the floor in front of him. It reminded him of the guard dogs back on Asgard that stood in front or behind doors, protecting whomever was in said room. After taking a closer look he realised it was none other than Fenrir and Sleipnir.
He smiled at the sight and stepped around them, entering the room and seeing all it had to offer. It was dark, the curtains pulled and the artificial lights off. It also seemed somewhat chilly to Thor. Which was odd for the spring but what did he know about humans and their seasons?
The room was a dark green matched with dark blue. It had little sprinkles of gold on the ceiling that looked similar to the stars in the night sky. There were shelves stacked with books that Loki got from who knows where. He noticed a chest in the corner of the room that wasn't closed properly, toys scattered around it and falling out of it. The room was messy yet had a sort of neat air about it and resembled Loki's room from back in Asgard. His brother really was a sorcerer.
Thor walked towards the bed and sat at the edge, surprised to see Jormungand tightly wrapped around Loki and Hela very much awake. She was reading what Thor recognised as one of Loki's old children books, not paying attention to Thor or anyone else.
'She takes after Loki I see.' He thought a deep chuckle escaping his lips.
"Do they always sleep like this?" Thor asked, not watching the volume of his voice. Hela glanced up at him before going back to her book.
"Unfortunately." She answered softly.
That close the room seemed to get even colder, almost as if it was a cold spot.
"And how do you sleep? Where?" He questioned further, generally curious. Hela shrugged and flipped the page.
"Who says I sleep?" She asked rhetorically, making Thor ponder on what actually went down in his brother's room. He cleared his throat and nodded, sensing Hela didn't want to talk any more.
He turned his attention back to his brother and attempted to wake him without disturbing Jormungand,but it seemed rather impossible. He sighed deeply and got up checking the clock on the wall, hanging near a calender.
"Seven...." He mumbled to himself as he exited his brother's room. He walked down the stairs hearing a piece of conversation between Stark and Rogers.
"I haven't seen our teens for the morning. They do know it's Monday right?" Steve asked inbetween sips of tea.
"Oh yeah they're staying home for the day. Something about a cold or something." Tony mumbled, walking around the kitchen doing God knows what.
"American Captian!" Thor boomed, "So good to seen you on the fine morning!"
"Oh God I need some coffee before I can handle this." Tony mumbled, a groan leaving his mouth. The two blondes ignored the shorter brunette and continued their conversation.
"I told you to just call me Steve." Said man chuckled. Thor continued, paying no mind to the name Rogers insisted upon.
"I would like to confront you about my troubles." Thor confessed, taking a seat next to The Captain.
"Where the fuck is your shirt?" Tony interrupted, once again being ignored by the blondes.
"What's troubling you?" Steve asked, taking a sip of his tea.
"The matter of my brother."
"I don't get paid enough...." Tony muttered in the background.
"He hasn't caused any trouble....."
"Yes yes whatever that's not what bothers me." Thor paused watching as Steve gave him his full attention. He smiled just barely before it left his face completely, replaced by a frown.
"By now my father must've noticed he's missing. And I know not how to confront him."
"Your father doesn't know Loki is with us?" Steve asked, somewhat appalled.
"Of course not." Thor scoffed, raising a brow in confusion.
"Then why the fuck is God of Evil here?" Tony mocked.
"Mischief." Thor corrected, "And its a long story. It would be better to ask Loki."
"Why don't you just...tell him the truth?" Steve asked, sipping his tea.
"My father is not like you mortals. He will demand Loki be brought back and punish him further. And I will not be able to do anything for I am still just a Prince." Thor explained.
"Punished?" Steve asked, questions popping up in his mind. Thor shrugged Steve off, saying to ask Loki once again.
"Set circumstances." Tony suggested from the kitchen. He didn't spend time with Loki so he didn't know what kind of character he was but from their previous encounters he seemed....witty. Fun.
"Do explain Man of Iron." Thor urged. Tony rolled his eyes and stepped out the kitchen, coffee in hand. He leaned against the counter and looked at the two large men.
"Simple Point Break. Its basically saying 'Loki can stay under certain conditions blah blah blah'. Win-win situation."
"So like....a deal!" Thor boomed. Tony nodded and sipped his coffee.
"Oh thank you my companions! I am in your debt!" Thor yelled. Before the married couple could get any words of protests in, Thor was running up the stairs. Tony smiled and sighed, winking at his confused husband.
Thor ran to Loki's room and slammed the door open startling Fenrir awake. He was pleasantly surprised to see Loki laying on his stomach and glaring at him.
"Fear no more!" Thor boomed, causing Loki's eyebrow to raise questioningly, "I have a plan!"
"Bold of you to assume I am afraid but do explain." Loki smirked.
"I shall strike a deal with father!" The statement was engulfed by a loud silence. Thor thought he had done or said something wrong, but then his brother scoffed and shook his head, going back to his book.
"Good luck with that." He chuckled.
