A life together

Tony To The Rescue

"Finally. Thank you, I could not bear the sound of his voice anymore", said Loki making his presence known.

As soon as they had touched the ground, with just a glance around him, he had realized they were in Midgard. Although he was still affected by the recent truths that Odin had revealed to him, Loki could not contain the feeling of relief and happiness that filled him. They were in Midgar. That meant he could be with Anthony without problems. Thank the Norns. If it hadn't been like that, he didn't know what he would've done.

It is true that seeing Thor so confused after being run over by those humans and talking to the air asking for Heimdall was fun, but the headache that was growing strongly prevented him from laughing - the realization that his seiðr was weakened didn't help either.

"And who are you?" Asked the woman who was inspecting her brother.

Loki ignored the question and said, "I need a phone. Also, can someone tell me where on earth we are?"

"New Mexico," said the man. "Why should we give you a phone? How do we know you aren't going to rob us?"

"Why would I want to steal your phone? That would be stupid. And I need to call someone, is that not what you do with that device?"

"The handsome man has a point," said the taser girl. "What?" She asked as she felt the disapproving looks from her friends. "I'm just stating the facts"

In the end, and under certain threats, they decided to give him one.

"I see you have a StarkPhone," he commented with a smirk. "Smart lady"

Loki thanked the heavens - or rather Pepper Potts - for the moment he had decided to memorize Anthony's number.

"You have reached Tony Stark's phone, if you have something to say, please-"

"Oh come on! Shit"

"-leave a message. Wait a fucking second. Loki?" He closed his eyes relieved.

"Hello, my love", the god felt the gazes of strangers on him.

"Loki, what the fuck ?!" He pulled the phone away from his ear a bit to avoid going deaf. "Where are you? Why didn't you come home if you were on the planet?"

"That is kind of a long story," he said exhausted. "In short, things in Asgard went to shit and Thor and I were banished. We landed in New Mexico and I cannot teleport because my seiðr took a hit."

Anthony was silent for a second, "Well, shit. Okay, don't panic. This is what we're gonna do. You're going to find a place to spend the night and tomorrow I'll use the private plane to pick you up. Cool?"

Loki smiled tiredly, "Cool"

"Are you alright honey? You sound a little off"

"To be honest? No, I am not alright. But I am going to be, I just need time. And to go home."

"You hang on tight, babe. I'll be there as soon as I can. Okay?"

"Okay"

"I love you"

"Love you too"

The call ended and the strangers looked at him curiously.

"So, our transportation does not arrive until tomorrow. Any idea where we can spend the night?" He asked politely. "I am Loki, by the way. And that oaf on the floor is my bro- is Thor"

A spark of recognition and disbelief flared in the strange man's eyes, "Thor and Loki? Like in Norse mythology?"

A sideways smile took place on his face, "Indeed. Are you familiar with those myths?"
