A life together

Queen Frigga

He had been staring at the spects for at least twenty-five minutes without a single improvement. He tried. He really tried, but his mind was elsewhere.

"Tony, are you even listening to me? I've been calling your name non-stop."

"Sorry, Pep. What were you saying?"

His friend looked at him with worry in her eyes, "I was telling you that I need a few more signatures so that Happy can finally start as Head of Security. Are you okay?"

"Thor paid us a visit this morning. He said there was something wrong with Jane and he needed Loki's help. Apparently something magic related. He had to take her to his floating godly-land." Pepper paled.

"That doesn't sound good, now I get why you're so distracted."

"It's so frustrating. I feel so fucking helpless. They're in another world, Pep. Another world. How are we supposed to help?"

She smiled sadly at him, "That's how we feel every time you go out as Iron Man." He huffed. "What exactly happened to Jane?"

"I don't know," said Tony running a hand over his face, "Thor didn't explain much. He only said there was some weird magic inside her and something about dark elves."

"You guys really can't catch a break," said Pepper with sympathy before giving him a kiss on the cheek and leaving the workshop.

"The universe hates us."

Loki was with his mother in the royal courtyard while Thor accompanied Odin in inspecting Jane. "He did not even greet me. I mean, I knew I was nott his favorite person, but it is clear that he does not consider me his son anymore."

"It is not like that, Loki. He is just ashamed of the way things turned out, he could not protect you two. Also, I may have told him that you married a mortal."

He lost all color from his face, "What? Why would you do such a thing? There is a reason I hid my relationship from Heimdall's eyes, mother."

"I know, and I am sorry," she said stroking his hair, "But when I was about to go down to Midgar he intercepted me to question me and I got angry. I had to tell him that there was no way in the galaxy that I would miss my son's wedding. "

He smiled at that, "Still, you should not have told him. I can bet he did not like the news."

"I do not know, I left the second the shock showed on his face." Mother and son laughed. "I am so proud of you. You found a love deeper than the oceans, a family that appreciates you for who you are, and a world you can call home. That is all I ever hoped for. To see you happy."

A small tear escaped from Loki's green eyes as he smiled at Frigga. "I am very happy, more than I have ever been here in Asgard. It scares me."

"You will be fine. My dear Loki, there is a beautiful future waiting for you. Do not let fear or pain stop you from finding it," they hugged tightly. "Now, I believe you are here for Jane Foster. You better go find her or Thor is going to send her hammer in search of you."

The god chuckled and stood up from the bench they were sitting on, but before he could go and look for his brother, his mother grabbed his wrist and looked at him with warmth in her eyes. "Say hi to Harley for me."

Confused and with a weird feeling on his chest, Loki left, putting that strange moment aside to focus on the real problem.

"Darcy, can you focus for a moment? I don't care if the new intern is cute, I want to know what happened to Jane."

"Okay, fine, calm down a little, shellhead. Here's the thing, we found a floating car and then some kids showed us how to throw a can down the stairs and then fall from above, but there were things that didn't come back. Like, for example, the car keys. Later, Jane disappeared for a few hours and came back with magic that hated us all and tomorrow is convergence and all the astrophysicists are losing their minds and Erik is running around the world naked. What do you think of that summary? "
