"(Y/n)."
(Y/n)'s surroundings changed. She was in the Asgard throne room, Loki in front of her.
"(Y/n) you must leave Thor, so that you may come home." Loki begged.
"I can not leave Thor. He must return home. Odin must allow him to return home."
"Fa...

Five Years Later
"Iona, Kari, Morgan, lunch time!"
Within seconds, the three girls broke through the treeline and practically fell over each other to see who could get to (Y/n) first. Morgan was naturally at a disadvantage because she wasn't Asgardian, but she was doing quite well all things considered.
"Root!" Iona quickly pulled Morgan to the side, only momentarily pausing their race as her protective instincts kicked in. What a good Goddess of Safety she was.
Soon enough, the three girls converged on the porch. All of them were panting, though giggly all the same. (Y/n) smiled at them, ushering them into the house where Pepper's famous vegetable ziti was waiting for them.
"Wash your hands, please," Pepper called from where she was setting the table.
While the girls went into the kitchen to wash their hands, the four adults converged in the dining room and took their seats. (Y/n) and Loki left two seats in between them for the twins, and Pepper and Tony left one for Morgan.
"You were talking about New Asgard's new trade deal?" Tony asked Loki, who nodded.
"Queen Romanda of Wakanda has sought out our magic capabilities. The tribes of Wakanda see the potential in charmed objects, so we're discussing possible trade options with them. My brother is absolutely helpless when it comes to negotiations and foreign affairs, even if our allies have everyone's best interests at heart."
The girls came back in and clambered into their seats. The adults helped them scoop out servings and the meal began.
"That's why Thor put us in charge of foreign affairs, the gods know Valkyrie is already busy handling our main imports," (Y/n) chimed in.
"That's only because Thor assumed she'd be happy dealing with all that alcohol."
The adults chuckled, while the girls seemed confused at the joke they couldn't understand. Tony piped up, "If I could have a job like that then I'd gladly take it."
"You are a master at mixing drinks," Loki agreed.
The past five years felt like an eternity in the best and worst ways. The settlement of New Asgard took up a solid two, the addition of two babies adding to the stress of it all. But it was all worth it to see the Asgardians settled in a new home, and to know that the twins would have a place where they were safe and loved.
For a while, it was up to (Y/n) and Loki to handle the royal duties - with the help of their trusted friends. Thor fell into a depression that (Y/n) easily recognized. She was the same way when she thought she'd lost Loki more than once. He needed space at first, and then they intervened before he could spiral.
