The Love Of Mischief

Chapter 41

Once again, Thor, Loki and I were walking out of the compound. I kept my gaze away from the woods (I didn't want another episode. I was ready to go home) We told everyone that we were leaving before the first light so it was relatively still dark out. No one was up and it made saying goodbye last night so much easier. Even though Midgard's clothes are comfortable. I much prefer being in Asgardian clothes.

Wanda went into labour just after midnight. Vision went in pre-parent freakout. Which was funny to watch. If he didn't have the ability to phase through walls, There would have been a Vision shape hole in Tony's wall. Still, The whole situation made me curious about what would happen if I was pregnant. I wondered if that's what Loki would d? He can be a bit of a drama queen.

Bucky and I patched things up in the end, It did take him begging on his knees (Not my idea, Barton came up with it). He said he was just overprotective (He was the same with Steve back in the '40s). Steve even said that it is his way of caring.

Loki wouldn't let me carry any bags but one. I got given some gifts from everyone. Just a few bits for me to remember about my time in New York. I do plan on coming back one day.

Steve got me a little statue of liberty (She's some green lady in the ocean. Meant to be bronze in colour but the air killed the colour).

Bucky got me a baseball and bat (He did say that I should use the bat on Loki if he gets too much).

Wanda, Pietro, And Vision got me some Midgard summer dresses (Loki was happy about some. Other's, Not so much).

Natasha got me a leather jacket. It was in black (I ain't really sure when I will get to wear it but I still loved it).

Barton got me a children's bow and arrow game. He said that since I can handle a sword, A bow should be easy (also I can use it to shoot Loki if he annoys me).

Banner got me some science books. Since Midgard and Asgard have very different ways of expressing their views on science that maybe I should learn both.

Pepper got me a fluffy cardigan (I love this way too much)

Rhodes got me a bottle of Jameson whiskey (I would most likely give this to Lord Volstagg. This stuff taste like sewer water)

Sam got me a paper plane craft set. He reckons that since I live in the palace, I should get some good air. Though Loki has been eyeing this kit up. Might let him play with it.

Peter (That kid I met when I first arrived) got me a book on Languages. There were so many I never even heard of.

And Tony got me several things. Like all the Avengers, He gave me a phone (Though I don't see the point of this device, There's no signal in Asgard) with a solar charger. A music device that has nearly every song in existence. It can be charged with the phone thing and mini blasters for my hands. He said that if I wear these, Then I should be able to channel my fire into better bolts. (Not that I need help with that)

And of course, I may have raided Tony's cupboards for all the chocolate. I know, I have a problem.

"Amelia, So have you enjoyed your time on Midgard?" Thor grinned as he walked backwards.
"Oh, Very much so. Can I come again one day?" I put my hands together. Loki chuckled "Are you sure you don't need help with those bags?"
"As long as you behave, We can" Loki smiled playfully "And no. I can manage 3 bags"
"I was rather well behaved thank you" I pretended to be offended "Apart from the fire thing"
"Was so glad I had short hair for that. At least Wanda erased that command from your head so no more random meltdowns. I might not be able to get The Avengers to Asgard in time" Thor threw Mjolnir up and down. I let out a big sigh, It took three attempts for Wanda to break through my command but she did it. Not that I doubted her.
"I wouldn't count on that. Life would be pretty boring" I grinned. As Thor throw his air up, I caught it before he did "Just think of what Lord Odin's going to think when he founds out I can lift this hunk of metal"
"I haven't got my head around it" Thor took Mjolnir back and held it close. I don't think he liked me calling it a hunk of metal.
"Nor have I. And ass for the mini meltdowns, Banner gave me some tips on how to control my temper so no need to call The Avengers to come to your rescue"
"Speaking of whom, How did you find my friends?" Thor wiped his mouth. He does this when he is nervous.
"Which ones. You have a lot" I tilted my head "List them and I will give you may my honest opinion"
"Steve"
"The costume is a bit much. So tight and makes him look like a triangle. But I get the appeal" I gripped my bag "I will admit that even pretending I can feel the confidence. The righteousness surging" I clenched my fists.
"Hey, You said the same thing" Thor pointed at Loki. Loki said he believed that he did.
"Hey, do you want to have a rousing discussion about truth? Honour? Patriotism? God bless America" I saluted. I made my voice a little deeper as I did the impersonation. Thor and Loki cackled "Dude is a bit of a sap. Hearts in the right place but his head is off-world"
"This is why I love you. You never fail to make me laugh" Loki kissed my cheek as Thor retched "Shut up, I'm happy"
"Okay, Okay" Thor held his hands up in surrender "Now I know I don't need to ask about Wanda, Vision and Pietro"
"Nope. I like the three of them. Well, technically the 5 of them" I smiled as I placed my hands behind my back.
"What about Romanoff?" Loki asked.
"More afraid of Sif" I shrugged "Nat is Nat. What you see is what you get. Though her outfit doesn't leave much to the imagination" I scratched my nose. Both boys agreed.
"I find you much hotter though" Loki whispered in my ear. Sending shivers down my spine.
"Down boy" I patted his chest. The boys dropped the bags on the floor.
"What about... Barton?" Loki quizzed.
"Bit of an idiot. Asshole at first but I'll take his friendship with a pinch of salt. I would rather put up with Fandral when he is trying to get laid while sober" I rolled my eyes.
"Stark?" Loki tilted his head.
"Tony is an arrogant, genius, billionaire, playboy, and philanthropist"
"That is how he also describes himself" Thor sighed "Banner?" Thor spoke.
"Banner is tiny compared to the others and looks like he is afraid to say boo to a goose till he turns into Hulk. Hulk is fun" I said the last bit with sarcasm "Did Hulk really have to slam me into the ground?"
"Yes," Both Loki and Thor replied.
"Man of spiders?" Thor added.
"Peter? He is a wimp. Looks like he could trip over air. Tries too hard to gain Tony's attention" I sighed.
"The flyboy that looks like a bird?"
"Sam? Bit of a bird brain. Doesn't like Bucky very much. Maybe he is jealous that Bucky was Steve's best friend first"
"Do I need even ask how you feel about him?" Thor looked at Loki.
"We patched things up. End of the day, He is part of my family. We can fight and fight but we still have each other's back" I smiled. The brothers looked at each other.
"Sounds familiar" Thor did a half-smile. Loki rolled his eyes.
"Who else do you want to know about?" I sighed as Loki agreed with Thor.
"Tony's shadow? I forgot his name" Thor clicked his fingers.
"Rhodes? Seems like he and Tony would be the ones pulling pranks as children and never grew up" I pulled a bottle of water out of my bag and took a swig "What time are we shouting for Heimdall?"
"Sounds about right" Thor smiled "He said that when the sun is just rising, He will send the Bifrost"
"Does that man ever sleep?" I exclaimed. I then yawned "Speaking of sleep. I can not wait to sleep in my own bed"
"There is no place like home" Loki agreed. He looks up at the sky "Sky is getting lighter"
"Hometime!" I cheered. Loki and Thor grabbed the bags "So what happen's -" I was cut off as a rainbow light engulfed us and we shot upwards.

"Welcome back" Heimdall greeted us as I tumbled into the Bifrost room. I don't think I will ever get used to travelling this way. I bent over at the waist and put my hands on my knees "Take a few deep breaths Amelia"
"I'm fine" I waved at Heimdall. He laughed at me. I straightened a little "I will never get used to that. Would rather fall off the Bifrost"
"I don't recommend that!" Loki piped up.
"So did you have a fun time on Midgard?" Heimdall came and stood next to me while Loki tied our bags to a horse. Thor did the same.
"I did. It was so nice. New York in the snow is something else" I smiled. Heimdall then turned his back to the brothers. They were loading the horses up with the luggage.
"I saw what happened when you were meant to arrive a few days ago" I gulped. I looked at him.
"So you know the origin of my firepower" I spoke barely above a whisper, Looking at my hand "Does Lord Odin know?" I looked over at Loki. I knew he was worried about his father knowing just as much as I did.
"That is the only thing I do not know" Heimdall apologise "Though I do recommend speaking to Lord Odin about it. It is better to confront the matter than delay it" I ran a hand over my face.
"Guess you are right. How do I even broach the subject?" I spotted Loki and Thor walking back to us. I put my finger to my lips. Heimdal nodded slightly.
"I see that you got some gifts too" He spoke, Changing the subject quickly. Loki kissed my cheek and said the horses were ready.
"I much prefer horses to cars" I turned back to Heimdall "Yeah, Some bits. Mainly chocolate" I grinned like a child.
"Hopefully that should be enough to last you for a while" Thor stated.
"There will never be enough chocolate in the world to do that!" I declared as Loki pulled me away.
"That's enough out of you, Come one. In case you haven't noticed, It is nighttime and we need sleep"
"No you need sleep, I need to eat my chocolate" I smiled.

Loki rolled his eyes and lifted me onto a horse "Why is there only one horse?" I tilted my head as I stroked the horse's mane "You're a beautiful boy"
"Well, I thought it was obvious, We are sharing" Loki climb on behind "And you on about the horse or me?"
"Jealous darling?" I looked at Loki over my shoulder. We both giggled "I swear we only had this conversation when you first brought me here"
"We did. You shocked me with the dirty words that came out of your mouth" Loki got the horse moving. Thor took a different horse that carried the cases "I believe your words were 'I much prefer you when riding things'" Blushing, I hid my face.
"So," I changed the subject "Do I get to meet female Loki soon?"
"You really want to meet her?"
"Well, I've met your other form so it is only fair" I smiled as I ent my head on Loki's chest.
"Not only have you met blue me, but you also had some fun with him too" Loki slowed the horse down as we reached the end of the rainbow bridge. I let out a little cough as Loki leaned down a little. His mouth against my ear "My dear, Don't tell me you want to have some fun with my female form?"
"Well," I wiggled my head. Loki hummed a little.
"My sweet, I would love to indulge you. Would you want me alone or a female clone of me while I remain who I am?" His voice sends a shiver down my spine "I can hear your heart race from here. What could it be? Fear, awe, Need? No, It is so much more. Who knew I could inspire such feelings"
"Please, You know what you are doing" I licked my lips. Loki laugh as he grinned.
"Oh, I do, Do I?" He smirked as he manoeuvred the horse so he didn't hit the people of Asgard "Please tell me the effect that I have on people"
"Can you not see the adoration that people have for you? You pretend that you prefer solitude, Isolation. But I can see so clearly through your lies" I lifted my head off Loki's chest and looked him in the eyes. He frowned but I waved my hands at the crowds. Loki looked down and refused to lift it so I grabbed the reins and pulled the horse to a stop. I placed my hands on Loki's face and lifted his head, forcing him to look at me "Look around, What do you see?"

After a minute, Loki's eyes glanced around. I could tell he was scared. The Asgardian had feared him because of his reputation and his heritage. Loki's scared face soften as he moved his head.
"I told you," There was none that feared him anymore. Many people were smiling and bowing at their prince.
"I thought the people hated me" He whispered.
"Help me down" I whispered as Loki jumped off the horse. Like he did many times before, Loki kissed my hand before he put his hands under my arms and lifted me in the air. Only this time, I did not squeal.
"Think I prefer the squealing" Loki whispered. I playfully swatted Loki on the arm. I took the horse's reins and gave them to a guard.
"Take this beautiful boy to the royal stables. We will make our own way home" I ordered as the guard stood to attention.
"What are you planning?" Loki folded his arms. I strolled back over to him and untangled his arms.
"As I told the guard, We are making our own way home"
