The Return of the Stones

Chapter 4

     The stones were shining and that brought the attention of the heroes that were having a happy meeting. Then as if they blinked the stones got out of their container and started flying around, forming a circle in the air. Puff... Was the thing crossing through the heroes heads, the stones dissapeared and a Thud like sound echoed. Six bodies on the floor.

      "WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!" Was the scream that cut the silence.

      "I don't know!" Was next and then a certain teen that was on the floor opened his big bambi eyes.

     "Mr. Stark, what happened?" Peter said looking totally disoriented. Tony looked at him laying there on the floor like he didn't have strength enough to stand. The rest of the heroes started gathering around Tony, Rhodey, Pepper and Peter that was on the floor, laying the other bodies that fell to the floor a few seconds ago.

     "They collapsed randomly" Steve said looking over Bucky that was with his head on his hands. Thor had Loki in his arms, and they haven't noticed yet.

     "Thor son of Odin, didn't we talk about not bringing your brother here ever again?" Dr. Strange said bringing the attention of all the heroes there and looking towards Thor direction.

      "THOR?! Why is Loki here?" Clint yelled and directed a glare to the god of mischief that made him remember of the time he used him and controlled him with the mind stone,  he was in the arms of the blonde god, trying to get to the floor, but Thor only brought him closer to his chest, in that state he didn't look like a threat at all, it even looked like he was just a kind of kid in this case a brother in the arms of his older brother.

     "Well, it is a long story guys" Bruce said and then turned to Thor "I don't remember clearly, but didn't he die?".

    "I did, but I returned" Loki said, then laid his head on the space between Thor's shoulder and neck. He looked fragile, as if he wasn't the same and that scared the first Avengers except Thor and well Bruce.

     "Well, guys, I didn't have time to explain entirely what happened while I was gone, but let's say that a lot of things did happen and Loki is, well, good now" Bruce said while picking his glasses from a case they didn't see before and cleaning them enough to put them on.

    "That's not all, he could return, but he isn't the same tha he was before, because part of the process of dying and use the time and space stone to alter everything is that he must have some changes, that's why he hasn't stabbed me while I am carrying him" Thor explained and the others around him had questioning looks on their faces and a lot of things they wanted to know, but they prefered to ask later.

    Vision was carrying Wanda in his arms while walking to the quinjet, they were surely happy to have each other and it was nice for them to find voth Tony and Steve working together because that maybe meant they had an opportunity to be next to the other and start sharing their lifes without conflicts or doing escapes to meet in another country. Starlord was carrying Gamora and she looked beautiful in his eyes, he couldn't resist thinking that, she was special for him, he needed her and Gamora knew that she needed him too; she put her head in his chest and smiled loving the warmth radiating from him.

     On the other side we had Steve that was helping Bucky who had a dazed look and couldn't understand what the hell happened.

    "Steve, why did I collapse?" Bucky asked very confused.

     "I am not sure, maybe is a side effect of the returning" Steve replied his friend while putting his arm over his shoulder to help him with his weight, also if he collapsed again he could catch him and avoid receiving a nad bruise. Captain America cares a lot for Bucky as you can see.
