"Thor!"

Thunder rumbled loudly, loud enough to drown out the engines of the carrier. The jet shook viciously until some of the turbulence calmed down. Loki was visibly jumpy and nervous, it took a while for Elizabeth to understand why, but she put two and two together, Thor - God of Thunder.

"What afraid of a little lightning?" Steve mocked Loki, not thinking about what he said before he said it.

Elizabeth tensed lightly, maybe she wasn't the only person that had change, considering Steves past, bullying and intentionally hurting someone was something that hit close to home. So it made her wonder what made him act so impulsively. Getting up quickly, startling both Steve and Tony she made her way over to Loki. He turned to look at the woman approaching once hearing her light footsteps, confused playing on his features. Elizabeth gently lowered herself to sit next to him and gently pat his hand.

"I understand why you're afraid, you always were afraid at the slightest loud noises, especially when they came from Thor" she replied softly, her mind flashing back quickly to her time in Asgard.

It was then he realised who she was, he was quite surprised to see how young and healthy she still looked, he was extremely happy she was here and able to comfort him. He looked up to her as a child, and still does, even though now his relationship with Frigga had gotten a little better, there was not way anyone (especially in his mind) would ever replace Elizabeth. She was his mother.

A loud bang ricocheted from the outside of the jet, knocking the jet forwards slightly. Elizabeth nearly flew out of her seat, causing Loki to act quickly, quickly throwing his arm out to pin her against the wall behind her, making sure she didn't go anywhere else.

Thor himself had gotten inside the jet, it seemed Thor hadn't forgotten his nanny, throwing her a confused glance, he saw how Loki was holding Elizabeth, misinterpreting the situation as hostile causing him to grab Loki harshly and fly out.

"Thor!" Elizabeth barked angrily, storming towards the jet door, she threw her hands up in disbelief, turning around to see Tony and Steve throwing confused glances her way, she simply rolled her eyes, throwing a dismissive hand towards them, going to sit down. As much as she should, and her protective nature of Loki, she couldn't be bothered now with the boys (all four of them that is) so she let them both go as well.

Watching the fight from above, it looked like a scripted fight battle from a film, attacks being given only to be blocked, and continuing vice versus till Thor launched into the air, bringing mjolner down into Captain America's shield, a vibrant blue energy emitting from the collision blowing everything down around it.

Feeling a sharp pain in her abdomen, she glanced down again to the ground to see that the trees were flat and broken, nature had been flattened. She had always had a connection with nature, what it felt like when the flowers wilted, or a plant was destroyed, being a Chlorokinetic always had its downs. Her violet magic circled elegantly around her hands, Elizabeth rose from the carrier, her hands faced palm down, purple magic floating around her, she hovered until she was above the broken forest, eying the three on the floor, and the amused Loki perched in a tree.

She diffused her magic and dropped to the forest floor, that was now covered in broken tree trunks and ruffled mud "Jesus - this poor forest, what you guys did - was it really necessary?"

She flicked her wrists to the side, and willed for the grass to grow back vibrantly, bushes of all types of flowers manifested in small clusters around them, the trees sprung from the ground, shaking the ground a small bit, they grew tall and high; a dark green plaguing the leaves.

Once she was content with the forest again, she glanced back at the three impressed guys.

"You guys finished fighting?" she questioned in a bored tone.

"Yes Lady Elizabeth" Thor replied gently, the other two nodding at her, she teleported up to Loki, grabbed him carefully by the hand, teleported back in the centre of the three, then back into the carrier. The rest of the them followed behind, each boy making there own way back to the heli-carrier.

Unfortunately, Thor refused to let Elizabeth near Loki again, this annoyed Elizabeth to no end.

"Thor Odinson! If you do not let me near your brother, I'll take Mjolner away from you!" Elizabeth hissed.

Thor moved out of her way almost immediately, a few hesitating steps before he completely moved to the opposite end of the carrier.

Elizabeth smiled in triumph, gliding over to where Loki was sat at the back of the plane.

"You remember me now?" She chuckled lightly, settling down next to him.

He nodded in content, happy to have a comforting and inviting presence next to him, rather than the cold shoulder his brother and father had been giving him.

"I'm glad. And just so you know, my opinion will never alter and never fail, you will always be the kind hearted boy I raised you as, nothing will ever make that change. You are my son" she muttered to him softly, almost inaudible, but he had heard every word, tears glistened in his eyes.

Reaching over, Loki slithered his left arm around her shoulder, bringing her towards him, as he buried his face into her neck. Her right hand coming up to run across the back of his head, her nails scraping slightly at his scalp.

Thor, Steve and Tony all watched the the two at the back of the carrier with curious eyes.

Thor hadn't seen this side of Loki since his 12th birthday, a few months after Elizabeth had left, it was definitely a drastic change in his personality. He just hoped having Elizabeth back in there lives, Loki would be the brother he used to have as a child.
