My Glorious Purpose

Still Worthy (Edited)

(Loki's POV)

I can not believe Odin decided to banish me to Midgard. I do not belong with those savages! But I had to accept my fate; once Odin made a decision, no one could sway him, not even Mother. Heimdall opened the Bifrost for Thor and I and we entered. We step out on the balcony of Stark Tower. Before I can head inside, Thor shoves me to the ground and places his hammer on my chest. I cry out indignantly.

"I will be right back," he says, practically skipping through the doors.

I lay there, waiting. I can hear Stark speaking on his contacting device with Romanoff. I'm not listening to what they were saying. I'm fuming with the fact Thor felt it a necessity to restrain me. As if I had anywhere else to go. My magic is reduced. I still have some, but definitely not enough to create a portal to escape this miserable planet.

I hear Thor say something in excitement. I begin listening in.

"Lady Tera! You are in this device as well? Splendid!"

"No wait, Thor! That button hangs-"

At the mention of the girl's name I begin to think of the last time I was on Midgard. It was after Thor and his companions had closed my portal, and had surrounded me. The girl had a wound to her head, it was bleeding profusely. I was appalled at the fact that they had allowed her to engage in combat. She's too young and untrained. Everyone else is either a super warrior or a highly trained assassin. But they still allowed her to fight. Unbelievable. Then the day at the park, when Thor was taking me back to Asgard. I was glaring at Romanoff, when she turned to Barton, whispering something. His smile irked me so I looked away, catching her eyes. She stared back at me until she blushed. I smile at the effect I had on her.

I'm brought out of my thoughts when I hear her voice.

"‒just hung up with you Tony."

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. Hey Point Break, the rest of the team is here," I hear Stark telling her.

"Hi Thor!" I hear her telling him.

"Lady Tera! I have missed you a great deal!"

I hear her laughing at something. Even though I have Mjolnir on my chest, I am able to raise my head to see what is happening. I watch Thor spinning her around. Annoyed, I drop my head back down.

"Okay you two. Put her down before you destroy my building Thor."

I stop listening to what they were saying. Thinking about my brother and Tera. I wonder if he had feelings for her. She clearly enjoyed his presence. I quickly push the thought out of my head. Why should I care if he did?

I start listening again at the mention of my name.

"Making him live with those he tried to destroy."

I hear Stark coughing. "You're telling me Reindeer Games is coming back to Earth?"

"No." Thor replies solemnly.

Stark sighs, "Hallelujah."

"He's already here!"

The next thing I know, Thor is running towards me. I struggle, trying to get up before they can see me lying helplessly on the floor.

"Thor! Get your stupid, glorified hammer off me this instant!"

Thor laughs, as he removed the stupid thing off my chest. I stand and Thor removes the cuffs. I brush myself off, embarrassed they had seen me on the floor.

Stark steps forward. "Thor, you can't be serious! You expect us to- to babysit a homicidal murderer?"

I roll my eyes. Stark is so dramatic.
