Loki hugged Jace, the little boy giggling into his shoulder... 'Take care of your mother and father little Prince..'.. He set him down carefully, then stood straight.
'You give Dash a hug? And apples?..'.. Jace asked him with a smile.
'Of course. I will ensure he has plenty, and that he is walked..'.. Loki smiled back at him, then looked around at the others... 'We will be fine..'
'I know you will be..'.. Elle grinned... 'Its everyone else out there..'.. She jerked her thumb to the ceiling... 'I'm concerned about..'
'There will be no trouble..'.. Loki gave her a pointed look... 'Considering that you are staying here..'
'Ha, hilarious..'.. She deadpanned... 'Ok then, let's do this..'.. She stepped away, to gather more space for the portal. Taking a breath, she focused, moving her hands and the circle appeared, directly into the informal dining room of the palace in Asgard. A huge smile took over her face, seeing Frigga and Odin, the two standing up from the table to come to her... 'Your majesties..'.. She dipped into a little curtsy.
'My dear girl..'.. Frigga held her arms out and Elle stepped through to quickly hug her... 'You are well?..'
'I'm good, I promise. Allfather..'..
Loki and Thor stopped short of stepping through, both in slight shock at seeing their father embrace Elle in a hug too... 'It is good to see you Lady Elle..'.. Odin said, as they broke apart... 'We are aware of what you wish of us, and I assure you your guests will be safe here..'
'Of that, I have no doubt..'... Elle nodded and stepped back through the portal... 'Come on you lot..'.. She held her arm out, indicating for them to move.
Loki cleared his throat, slipping his hand into Wandas and taking her through. Glancing back, Natasha and Bruce followed, then Thor and a reluctant Yelena, which made him chuckle. Once they were all through, the rest of the team called out bye, and the portal closed behind them, Jaces parting still echoing slightly from his shout. He looked to Wanda next to him, seeing her eyes widen slightly, and felt her fingers twitch with nerves... 'Mother, father, may I introduce Lady Wanda..'
His mother stepped forward, holding her hands out to Wanda who hesitated for a moment, before letting him go, and taking his mother's hands... 'Welcome my dear..'.. The pure joy in his mother's face had Loki relaxing... 'I feel your magic, and I am more than happy to assist you, if you should need it..'.. She looked behind Loki... 'Now, you must be Lady Natasha, and Sir Bruce..'.. His mother let Wanda go, and moved to the other two, but when she stopped in front of Natasha, even from the side, he could see his mother assessing the woman... 'You, are special..'
Nat didn't want to frown, but her face made the choice for her... 'Um, thank you?..'.. She looked to Loki who gave a slight shake of his head, indicating he didn't know.
'Oh, but you are..'.. His mother circled Natasha, stopping in front of her again... 'A pure selfless soul..'.. Lokis questions for his mother mounted, especially when she exchanged a knowing look with his father... 'Welcome to you both..'.. She took one of Bruce's and one of Natashas hands in hers... 'Tomorrow, I would like to speak with you both, alone if that is alright?..'
'Uh..'.. Bruce looked to Nat, having no clue... 'Yeah, sure. I mean yes, of course..'.. He didn't want to offend.
'And this young lady..'.. Frigga moved to Yelena, who was watching with wariness... 'Do not be troubled dear, I do not bite..'.. She chuckled, casting Thor an amused look... 'Though it would seem my son does. You have captured his attentions, and I believe he does not wish to let you go..'
