Avengers
Johns POV
After S.H.I.E.L.D. found where Loki was, it didn’t take long for the Avengers to turn up at Bakers Street. Thank god only three of them came, as I don’t think our little flat could handle the Hulk.
I was the only one home when Tony Stark (Iron Man), Steve Rogers (Captain America) and Thor (Loki’s brother) turned up. I led them up to the lounge and made them some tea. While in the kitchen I called Sherlock.
“Sherlock,” I whisper into the phone, panicking slightly.
“John?” he replied sounding confused.
“The Avengers are here, they want to talk to Loki, tell me you two are on your way back?” I ask, getting louder as I spoke.
“Yes… Loki, stop that,” Sherlock says. Knowing Loki he’s probably kissing Sherlock’s neck. Loki may be the God, but he worships Sherlock. It also meant he was close enough to the phone to hear our conversation. There was then the sound of the phone being passed.
“Tell my brother to wait, we are nearly home,” Loki said and hung up. He seemed to be expecting Thor’s visit.
I turn to find the heroes looking at me.
“Um, Loki and Sherlock are almost here,” I explain and bring the tea in.
“Has my brother behaved well Doctor?” Thor asks, his hands dwarfing the teacup. Stark doesn’t touch his tea while Rogers sips his quietly.
“Yeah, he’s not a problem. Well once we stopped him calling us mortals he got in fewer fights, so yeah he’s fine.” I say and drink my tea burning my mouth - stupid super humans, being able to drink tea when it’s too hot.
I see Stark laugh at me. Clearly, he’s fallen for that before.
“Tony?” Rogers said confused by Starks laughter.
“It’s nothing Cap,” Stark said, waving him off. The Captain didn’t look happy but let it go. Those two really don’t trust each other.
“Fights?” Thor asks.
“Well, mostly me punching him,” I explain and Stark looked impressed.
Then the sound of the front door opening could be heard.

Loki's POV
I take my time to walk up stairs until Sherlock takes my hand kindly, and then roughly pulled me up them. I scowl at him and then open the door to the lounge. Sherlock takes my coat and hung it with his.
“Hello, Stark, Rogers, Brother,” I say getting their attention.
“LOKI!” Thor said loudly and hugs me.
"Thor let go of me, you oaf. I'm mortal, you could break a bone," I complain.
Thor let go of me and I turn to the other two heroes, "Why are you here?" I ask them. I know Thor just came for me but the others were probably here on S.H.I.E.L.D.'s behalf.
"Fury wanted us to pass on some threats and tell you if you commit a single crime or enter American soil or airspace, S.H.I.E.L.D. will arrest you," Stark explained in a bored voice, he seems to not like S.H.I.E.L.D. much.
"Captain?" I ask to find out why he's here.
"Oh I'm not here for the threatening, just to make sure Tony and Thor behave," he explained.
Thor then hugged me again, but it ended quickly.
"Brother I am so glad you are well and with friends. The Doctor is nice and your home is..."
"'Cosy' is the word you're looking for, big guy," Stark suggested, "Homes are smaller in this country and not everyone is as rich as me," he said with a smirk, the Captain looked annoyed by the boast.
"Thank you, Thor," I say to be polite and then gesture to the man behind me, "This is Sherlock, he also lives here," I explain.
The Avengers acknowledge him and we move to sit on the sofas, not before Thor hugs me again. John hid a laugh behind his hand while Sherlock sat at a desk behind his laptop.
"Look I don' t know what Thor's told you," I start.
"The big guys told us all about your punishment after I saw you in London," Stark interrupted. “Apparently, your father didn’t want him to say anything unless directly asked,” Stark said sounding annoyed that Thor kept them out of the loop.
"Well then you know I'm no threat, all I want is a peaceful life with John and Sherlock," I explain.
I then hear John mutter,
"Mainly Sherlock," and I elbow him.
"Why Brother? When I was on earth is couldn't wait to get home," Thor asks.
"Brother, Asgard is no longer my home. Only you, Sigyn and Frigga like me: you're on Earth, Sigyn's left Asgard and Mother…the All-Mother no longer has time for me. And well on Earth I have friends and Sherlock," I explain.
"But Mother and I love you Loki," Thor argues.
"And I love Sherlock," I say softly.
Everyone falls silent and Sherlock's head shoots up, his eyes lock with mine and I smile. Well, I hadn’t meant to say it like that but it’s not untrue.

Sherlock's POV
I look Loki in the eye, and I feel a warmth within me. He loves me. I want to kiss him and return the words but then a white light covers him.
We all look away, blinded by the brightness. John and I were behind the desk, the heroes behind the sofas.
When the light dies down and the black spots have left my eyes I saw Loki, the God, in full Asgardian armour.
"Your magic's back," I say simply as Loki looked over himself. Green sparks were lessening as his magic settled in.
"Yes," Loki replies shocked.
The others in the room had yet to react. Stark came out from behind the sofa he hid behind, Thor and Rogers at his side.
"Well Loki, I don’t think you’re getting your quiet life," Stark said.
I look to John who just shrugged, "When do we ever get a quiet life," he said.
I look to Loki; the sparks of magic had stopped and Loki used his magic to change back into the clothes he wore before, in the flash of green. I walked over to him and kissed him lightly on the lips and hugged him.
"I love you too," I say into his ear. He just giggles into my neck and holds me tight.
"I have my magic," he says and vibrates with excitement.
