Chapter Text
It's 4:38am.
Clint is maybe halfway to his selected island on the Carribean, Sonsa is a sleep again and everyone are hoping that she don't start sleepwalking again and all the adults are wide awake and alert.
So is Loki.
Awake and calm. Not entirely what they expected. He's still in The Zen Room, but the door is double lock on both sides. It have a one-way window for false privacy. Work well when letting themselve vent. And when they are done or they gone too far, another person can unlock the door.
When Loki woke up and threw up on Tony floor, he may have made Tony yelped. He wasn't expecting that, but Tony was not taking any chances. Not with a child in a room. Tony carry Sonsa, who's now awake and clutching onto Tony for dear life, to the elevator. He press on the button to go The Avenger Floor. JARVIS have already alerted the group to go to Avenger Conference Room.
When they got there, everyone was awake and ready. Jane grently grab Sonsa from Tony. Then carry her back to the shared room, she was starting to fall asleep.
".."
".."
" Loki awake." Tony said blunt. He was not going to hide it.
" Yup and that my cue to leave. Bye."
Clint left quick before anyone can say a word.
" Um. Tony. Why was Sonsa was with you?" Bruce said.
" She sleepwalk up to him. JARVIS woke me, when he noticed her direction. Before we talk about it anymore, lets have something to drink to wake me up, so I can think clearly."
Now they are all watching an oddly serene Loki looking slightly odd. They have so many questions, but don't know how to approach him. They don't even know if he is lucid or not. This is more of Natasha thing. Tony sigh.
" Again. How the FUCK did Sonsa got in?"
" Sir, She Somehow Got Access To All The Door. Also I Could Not Deny Her Access, Even When I Try. "
" So what, she a technochick?"
" From The File You Have Downloaded, Yes."
" But why did she sleepwalk to The Zen Room? " Jane said. " That not your normal sleepwalker. Not even for a traumatic event that happened."
" Well I guess you never read my book."
" Tony, not now." Bruce said. "So he's awake. Now what?"
" Interrogation?" Jane said.
" About what? Why isn't he on Asgard? Why is still alive?" Tony said.
" Why is he still alive?" Bruce said. He look at Tony. " What do you mean by that?"
"Ask Thunderbird's girl."
" Jane?" Bruce start to feel anxious.
" Do you remember the attack in London?"
" Yes."
"Before they were there, they were on their home planet. Taking the "Aether" out of me. Thor try to destroy it with the help of Loki."
" Wait, what the Aether? " Tony interrupted.
" Just like your Arc Reactor, but more of a being. Energy Being."
" And Thor and Loki try to destroy it?"
" I wasn't aware of their plans at the time."
" Please, continue. " Bruce said.
" Anyway. As it is, it wasn't destroy, but absorbed into the Dark Elf. So he left for Earth and leave his guard behind for Thor and Loki."
"Wow, Thor and Loki fighting together? Must be a deadly combo."
" Yeah, about. Loki was protecting me when- "
" Loki was protecting you!?"
" Will you please shut up and let her finish."
" Okay. Goodness. Don't go mean and green."
" Anyway, Loki notice Thor was getting beat up pretty bad from the bigger dark elf called Kurse. So he sneak up on him with his magic and stab him clean with a spear. But just after that, the elf turn around and "hug stab" him back. It stab through him clean. While it was not paying attention, Loki activated it reverse bomb.
" After the creature was killed, Loki was starting to turn gray. He died in Thor's arm. But now he's here and alive. "
" Do S.H.I.E.L.D. know about this?"
" The attack on London? Yes. Loki being out and killed? No."
" Speaking of the Devil," Tony said. " Why didn't they inform us about Loki or this Secret Society that was knocking on their doors?"
" Um, I don't know, but maybe we can learn more from Steve." Bruce said.
" Ugh. Why? I can just have JARVIS get the information. "
" Tony, you are not the only genius can hack into the computer without alerting no one." Jane said. " They might hack into JARVIS, take your ideas and make it their own...... Or better."
" No one can make stuff better than me. It's the reason why Fury asked me for upgrading their tech."
" Sir, I Believe Loki Have Falling Asleep."
Everybody look at the window and sure enough, he's asleep.
" Expected. From what we seen from his files." Bruce said. " Maybe we can scan him for new anomaly."
" Now that's cute." Tony said.
" Please don't. "
" So what, we're keeping him in there?" Jane said.
"Only until things are close to normal. Or until a proper " Super Villain" cell. God that sound horrible."
" JARVIS, scan for anomaly."
" Yes, Sir."
" Jane, how Thor?" Tony said.
" Well, he's okay. He talk about his mother a lot, but he's getting better. I'm not sure how he will react about Loki being alive, though. "
" Can you phone him?"
" Well, he's in a different Realm."
" Sir, The Analysis Is Complete. There Is Only One Anomaly. His Body Temperature Is Severely Below Average."
" Well, he is a Frost Giant." Jane said.
" Say What Now?"
" What?"
" He's not an Asgardian. I'm guessing Thor didn't tell you. "
" Well he assumed we know all about Asgard. Happy man, but slow understanding."
" Well Loki is a prince from another realm, Jotunnheim. But was raised up on Asgard. He and I don't know much about the details."
" So he's a winged, frosty, mutated alien?"
" Tony we need more details because the wings or the eyes don't add up." Bruce said.
" His eyes are different? "
" They are emerald green and the pupils are slit."
" Well his eyes were green when I first met him. The pupils being slit, I don't know about that."
" Where is Nat when you need her? Should of ask Birdboy about her number, if she even have a phone."
" He wouldn't even give it to you anyway."
" Well then, time to brush up on Norse Mythology. When Thor get back, Jane, ask him about Yortimheim, or whatever, history. Bruce, compare Thor and Loki traits. Chop, chop, time is wasting."
Bruce left the room quick, ready for research, but Jane linger.
" If only Steve can see you now. Being such a leader."
" Ah, thanks."
" Sometimes you and Bruce sound more like a couple than "Sciencebros"."
" Well, who said we're not?"
" Your pregnant wife."
Tony smile wide.
" Anyway, how Pepper?"
" Antsy, but still a perfect manager when the substitute being too lenient to the staff."
" Have you told her yet?"
" About Loki? Hell No! She would have a heart attack. I'll tell her about Sonsa instead. She love kids. Now go."
" I'm going, but you have to tell her either way." Jane walk out the room. Tony sigh.
" What am I to tell Pepper about the new house guest.?"
