Avengers Assemble! #wattys2016

Chapter 32 - Jötunheim

~Lilliana

THREE MONTHS. Its been three moths since Clint and I broke our relationship. Three moths since I had last seen the Avengers. Today was Thor's coronation. Of course Loki being Loki decided that he did not want to go. I finally convinced him to join me or that I would have to be escorted by Frandall. He obviously didn't like the idea of his younger sister being escorted by a man with many women. So he gave up and agreed to go.

We stood as we waited for Thor to enter. Suddenly there was a loud thud. This had opened the door to the throne room and walked down the aisle. Odinaand everyone stood up. Loki held my hand as he watched in a gaze of hatred at Thor. Thor had reached where the AllFather was and knelt on one knee.

"Do you swear to protect the Nine Realms?" Odin asked.

"I swear." Thor answered.

"Do you swear to to protect the people of Asgard as a good and just king?"

"I swear!"

"Then, by the power vested in me, I hereby pronounced you King of-" Odin paused. Thor's smile faded as he noticed his fathers troubled look.

"Frost Giants," Odin said. Odin,Thor, and Loki left the room in a hurry. I trailed behind them to see what was happening. We headed towards the Vault and as we did, I saw ice covering the ground. I had accidentally slipped and was about to fall until Loki caught me.

"Careful, Lilliana," he said softly. He helped me up as we headed toward the Tesseract.

"It is safe," Odin stated.

"Father, if one of them would have stolen of of these relics-"

"But they didn't," Odin turned towards Thor. The continued this argument until I stepped between them.

"Stop! Just stop! Look I know your mad Thor but Father is right. The relics are all here and even though we do not know how ad why the Frost Giant were here, there's no reason to yell at Father. Ok?" Thor nodded as he turned to leave. Father thanked me and left too. Loki and I were the only ones left in the Vault.

"Loki?" Silence. It seemed as Loki was in deep thought. He paced around the Tesseract and sighed.

"Loki," I asked again. He turned towards me and sighed again.

"Yes, love?" He walked towards me and offered me his arm. I accept his offer and walked to the dining hall.

"Is it possible that Laufey may have wanted to sabotage Thor's coronation?" I ask him. He looks down at me and smirks as we stop.

"My dear girl, how in the Nine Realms would Laufey now that Thor's coronation was today?" He asks as we resume to go and dine.

"Well I thought that maybe there were spies in the castle or village willing to accept any offer Laufey would give them if they told him where and when Thor would be crowned and then he would have the opportunity to steal in the Vault." I look up at him and can see the slight smile he has. He just shakes his head and continues to walk. As we arrive, Thor flips the whole table of food. I can tel he is mad by the way he yells when he flips the table and the expression he has on his face. He sits on the steps as Loki and I approach him. I sit on Thor's left and Loki sits on the opposite.

"You know, you're right. The Frost Giants could have easily taken something from the Vault and we would all be in great danger." Loki comments.

"Yes!" Thor breathes and agrees with Loki. Thor stands up and glances towards Loki.

"No no no no no no. I know that look. No. Absolutely not." Loki waves his hands expressing he clearly does not want to agree with something Thor said or meant by the way he looked at him.
