Little Loki's Big Adventure

Through portals and magic

Hi everyone,

Sorry to have kept you guys waiting!  ^^'

So, about this chapter... It's not really one of my personal favorites, but I really hope you will like it.

It was hard to give this specific character (you might guess who it is by the chapter's title) a good reason to show up in this story, but I'm really happy it worked out.

ANYWAY! Hope you will enjoy nonetheless :D

Chapter 9

Through portals and magic

Thor walked through the halls of the compound in search of the raven god. He sighed deeply, realizing only now how exhausting his little brother could be, whether it was as a young child or as a grown man. His eyes scanned every corner of all the rooms he passed, only turning around as he heard the sound of sparks coming from behind him.

'Thor.'

'Doctor,' the god nodded as Strange walked towards him, a serious expression on his face. 'For what reason do I owe this pleasure?'

'Take a wild guess,' Strange said as he raised a brow.

'My brother?' Thor "guessed" with a sigh.

'Bingo,' with a blink of the doctor's eyes, the two were now in the lounge room, sitting on a lazy chair. 'Now, about y-'

'Could you please stop doing that?' Thor said as he raised his finger to interrupt the man. 'It really gives me a headache.'

Strange took a deep breath, 'Yes, sure. Listen, I just need to know what's going on with your brother, I heard something went wrong? Something with a spell?'

'Verily,' Thor nodded as he adjusted himself in his seat. 'A spell backfired, he is a child now.' He then frowned, 'Wait, why are you asking this? Is it because he is still on your watchlist of- of beings who are a threat to this word?'

'Hey, I put your brother on that list for good reasons and you know it,' Strange looked at the god with a sharp eye. 'He attacked Earth, twice. A total of 88 billion dollars in property damage and, miraculously, "only" 291 reported casualties, and that is just for New York, I'm not even counting Germany or that time he brought the, uh, what was it again? Asgardian Iron man?'

'The Destroyer.'

'Yes, the Destroyer,' Strange nodded and folded his hands, 'I think I have every right to keep him on my list, just to be sure.'

'Those matters are in the past now,' Thor argued, his voice low. 'My brother has changed.'

'Yeah, quite literally, I heard. Listen, about him being a kid, what would you say if we make this spell permanent?'

'Permanent?' Thor repeated as he raised a brow, suddenly finding himself with a cup of coffee in hand. He stared from his cup to the doctor, noticing how the man was now calmly sipping some tea. 'And what good will that do?'

'Well, first off, we can keep a better eye on him. Secondly, he gets a second chance at his childhood, which, I believe, is something we should all be happy with. You know, considering he became such a vengeful person with all the daddy issues and the way he has been lied to his entire life and what not.' Strange looked up at the god, noticing how the man was now glaring at him with a very dark expression. He blinked his eyes but as the heavy sound of thunder became audible in the far distance, he quickly continued, 'Look, I'm not trying to be an ass or anything, just stating facts. Your brother can be raised anew and grow up to be all happy and loving, just like he is at this moment. Isn't that what you wanted?'
