Saved (A Loki fanfiction)

Useless

One Month Later

Thor was going to rip his hair out! Him and his friends have been searching for a month and they have nothing! Frigga can't sleep at night, Astryd has nightmares, Tony seems to be drunk ever night, Bruce seems up all night looking at Asgardian healing potions to keep his mind off of everything, and Steve is training like crazy, Clint and Natasha seem to be just... EVERYONE IS SO WORRIED! They're all going to be bald by the end of this journey.

Sif and the Warriors Three came to speak with Thor a little while back. They wanted to know what was going on, so Thor told them. Like Thor had said, they do not hate him. They seem to want to contribute to this search.

Rumors are going around about the whole situation. Some say Loki is pulling a trick and while everyone thinks he is being tortured for his crimes, he is actually planning with the Chitauri for another attack. Others say he is wanting attention so they could feel bad for the so called 'sadness' that has invaded his heart. They all laugh in his face. Thor gets so angry with the people, even though he loves them.

Heimdall on the other hand...

Thor or... well any Asgardian has ever seen him so... vulnerable. Honestly, no one has ever wanted to hug him for there was no reason. But everyone seems to forget that him and Loki had a very compatible relationship when Loki was a child. The worst part is that Heimdall has no choice but to watch. He sees all, no matter what. He has to watch Loki get tortured over and over again at the hands of Thanos.

They all, together, have discussed all they can. They simply don't know what to do.

At least... they had absolutely no idea of anything... Until Thanos returned Loki.

-Flashback, of very few moments ago-

The Avengers, including the Warriors Three, Sif, Heimdall, Astryd, and the king and queen, sat at the long golden dinner table. The king on one end, and the queen on the other end, the others on the sides.

Thor sat closest to Frigga, Steve next to him and Tony next to him. Astryd was next to Tony picking at her food, and next to her sat Bruce.

Volstagg sat closest to Odin, Fandral next to Volstagg. Hogan sat next to Fandral. Sif next to him and then Clint and Natasha. Then Heimdall, close to Frigga's end.

"We have searched and investigated all we can." Odin said sadly.

"We can't give up." Tony growled. Odin gave him a disapproved look. "Sorry." He mumbled.

"Forgiven, of course."

"We have to do something!" Yelled Astryd.

"I know, sweetie." Stated Frigga. "I know but what else can we do?"

"Heimdall?" Sif urged. "You only see him?"

He nodded. "Yes."

Sif nodded in understanding. "Okay, but..." She stopped there was nothing to say.

"Okay, but we have the capability." Fandral said. "He was our friend once, too."

"Yeah," Volstagg said, mouth full of food. "We wanna do something."

"But what?" Hogan asked.

"Maybe..." Natasha started. "Maybe S.H.I.E.L.D could-"

"No," Said Heimdall with a small capacity of anger.

Natasha seemed baffled but let it go.

Clint wanted to say something. But let's face it, they can't do a damn thing. Nothing. They're all useless.

Bruce and Steve agreed with Clint, even though they knew not what he was thinking, they could see it.

Heimdall straightened his back and widened his eyes slightly as if realizing something.

"What?" Asked Odin concerned.

"Get down." He mumbled.

"What!?"

"Get down!" He yelled, getting out of the chair and kneeling down by it, everyone doing the same.

The portal they saw the day Loki was taken opened and Loki came out as if pushed. He looked perfectly fine! Well... He can't die...

Loki looked back at the portal yelling, "Wait!" The portal closed and it pushed him backwords. He looked at the area with distant hurt eyes. His breathing way too fast.

Everyone got up from the ground. Frigga gasped, putting her hands over her mouth. Odin looked stunned. "Loki?"

Loki's eyes slowly slid over to him. "Father?" He asked.

Odin nodded. "Yes, son."

Loki's eyes suddenly filled with moist tears as he ran to him hugging him mumbling "I'm sorry." over and over again. Odin hugged him back hesitantly.

His tears suddenly seemed to stop and he mumbled Astryd's name, who stood with freely flowing tears. "Oh, Loki..." She breathed and took off running.

Loki did too until their arms met and they held on so tight that if they let go any looser they might disappear.

They stayed like this until Tony cleared his throat.

They let go abruptly, looking towards him.

He cleared his throat again and pointed his finger quickly and put it to his chin as if thinking. "What?"
