CLINT BARTON POV:
I hobble down the stairs and into the kitchen where about half of the residents are already eating breakfast, once everyone is eating and talking we move from the kitchen to the living room and all stop dead in our tracks. In the living room are three people, the first is the Director, he is standing with his back to us looking out of the window with his arms crossed over his chest. The second person is Loki, he doesn't have his helmet but is in the gold outfit we saw him in at the fight, he's sitting on an armchair with his eyes closed. Behind him, is a woman, she has long dark brown hair and is wearing a red dress, she has her hands on Loki's shoulders and is whispering to him. Toni clears her throat causing everyone to look at her, she smiles and nods to each of them "Eagle, Wizard, Asgardian." She then sits on the end of one of the couches, the rest of the people from this world sit straight down, leaving just our team standing. The Director speaks "The King of Asgard has found a way to return you all to your world."Oh, I was rather enjoying it here, but I suppose we should really head home, it could cause a problem if we stay here for too long.
"Are you ready to return?" We all look to Cap who looks at each of us in turn, he then turns back to the Director "We'll gather our stuff and we'll be ready. Perhaps we could say goodbye to our new friends first?" Loki speaks "Of course, there is no real rush. While I'm here I wanted to thank you." He stands up "Without you I wouldn't have been able to capture my siblings, I owe you all a great dept." Cap "That won't be necessary." "Are you sure, is there nothing I can give you in reward?" Tony rubs his hands together "Well-" Steve glares at him so he plops himself down on an armchair.
Of course Tony would want something from Loki.
Loki turns to Tony "Speak mortal." He smiles "Thanks but don't worry about it, you offering is enough." "What do you mean by that metal man?" "Well... It's to do with the you in our world." "Ah, I've gathered from your reactions when you all saw me for the first time, that this other me, was not well respected." "Can I tell him?" Tony looks around for approval, but no one really seems to know which answer to give, Loki sits back in the armchair he sat in before "I am not that other man, so please, tell me who he or she is." "Alright."
Here we go, don't make the God angry Tony.
"You attacked Earth in 2012, you stole the tesseract, took over the minds of some of our men-"
I remember that far too well.
"-and tried to kill the Avengers. You brought an army to New York, we managed to kill them all and you went to Asgard prison." "Until you died." Everyone looks to a sad looking Thor. "I died?" "That's right, you died helping me." "Well, I am truly sorry. As you can see, I am not that man, allow me to formally introduce myself and my Lady here." Thor looks to the woman and smiles "Lady Sif." She smiles back "That's right, this is my Lady Sif."
His Lady, as in those two are together? Aww.
She smiles fondly down at him and perches herself on the arm of the chair, he places an arm around the back of her, Thor speaks "She is your Queen?" "Not yet, we're testing the waters, I am courting her." "It is good to see you both happy." Loki takes his eyes away from the woman and looks back to Thor "I am Loki Odinson, God of magic, King of Asgard." "Is that why you only have one eye?"
TONY! Shut up!
"I beg your pardon?" "Well doesn't Odin only have one eye, is it a King thing, do you have to sacrifice an eye to rule Asgard?" The room is dead silent until the three Asgardians burst out laughing, the rest of us cautiously join in "No, it's not that at all. Yes father Odin only had one eye, but I didn't lose one for the same reason. My dear sister is the excuse for my lack of sight, she cut out my eye." Everyone immediately drops their smiles and any sense of laughter left in them.
His own sister cut out his eye? Actually, we probably shouldn't be surprised, the pair were prepared to kill him.
Toni stands "Okay, this is getting depressing, let's stop talking about this stuff, alright?" Everyone nods "Good, let's have a few drinks, have a mini party with who's in the building right now, then you can go home in the morning. Who's with me?" Tony stands "Aye!"
