Topic: Thunder and Mischief (Tachi & Silver_Lady)

[Tachi]

"For you, wars and battles used to be your 'vacations'." Looked forward to more than anything else. Loki preferred other adventures, though he often was pulled into those of Thor's, travelling with him and his companions. 'Odin', Loki thought. Not 'father'. Loki had reason to disclaim Odin but Thor had less. Was this spoken this way for his sake or was Thor distancing himself? Perhaps he needed to in order to take the throne. Loki set it aside for now.

"Your arrogance only gets you so far. I'd still rather you be fed and rested, so sit down and do that for me." The God ordered. "Jarvis claims humans still eat this cold. I'm not sure I believe him." Taking a slice out of the box, he looked at it skeptically, not sure if he wanted to eat it. Perhaps he'd best leave it to Thor.  Setting it back down he pushed the boxes towards his brother's seat and went back to the fridge to find something else, looking through the contents.

It was likely that they could go up to the Avenger's floor and someone would likely be cooking, but Loki had had enough socializing for a while. It appeared as though some things never changed throughout the realms and meats and cheeses on breads were something that was done everywhere within the nine realms. He started making himself sandwiches, idly thinking about just how long they may be here on Midguard.

[Silver_Lady]

It wasn't a lie Thor smirked a little when Loki referred to his vacations being some what based on Battles and war. It really relaxed him when he was out on the battle field. It was the one thing in the world that truly made him happy, being useful. He was worried when he stepped down from a warrior to become an omega that he would loose that sense of dignity, that sense of purpose being a true Viking.

He knew that Loki wouldn't be stupid enough to try and stop him from doing the one thing he was really good at. Many mistake Thor of being an easy target. They would laugh at him but he would sure put the record straight and easily put his money where his mouth was. He was a one man army with pure strength behind him.

The thing about Loki though, it fascinated him. In one way, he would try and stab Thor. He wouldn't hesitate to put Thor back in his place. The other side well, Loki would be there for him. He would do everything within his power, they had always had that understanding. The better way of knowing what each other needed. Accept, Thor was sometimes a bit behind the times when it came to Loki and it broke his heart when he saw Loki the way he did last night completely out of character from the trauma.

Loki was strong in his own right and that was Thor loved about him the most. He was more then just a God. Which in a lot of ways, Thor shouldn't of trusted him over the years before their relationship became strained like it did. Thor trusted him, looked up to him. Thor had so much feeling for Loki that couldn't be put into words. Loki was his everything and when Loki asked him to be his mate, it completely turned his world upside down.

It was everything he wanted and more. But he was so scared and so confused about the process of being brothers, being able to love Loki. It was so out of character for Loki. He wanted to believe it was real. Perhaps he was over thinking it but this was the God of mischief.

Thor kissed Loki on the forehead gratefully. Before moving one of the long strands that were down the side of his face before kissing the end of it. Letting it drop.  "I always wonder, how someone who could be quick to stab me could love me as deeply as you do." Thor commented before sitting down began to eat the pizza.

"My plan is that I spoke with Heimdall that you would receive your things. However, you will be given them accordingly. He is aware of our relationship and I said just to give me more time to figure it out. With all the suiters quite frankly I wouldn't be able to do any of this without you. But at least you know that they will be safe here."

"I will be travelling back to Asguard for a meeting with Odin to review your meeting with the new information in place I will see that Odin gives you a fair hearing perhaps you'd won't be chained to me forever but under my watchful eye instead of 'chained'" Thor quietly mentioned as he eaten his pizza.

"I will be also going to each of the 9 realms again to make sure everything is running smoothly I want to know everything that's happening within the 9 realms even in times of peace. Perhaps you being with me will mend the bridges of your relationships, if you plan become my mate you will have to have better connection with them." Thor was thinking ahead, thinking that maybe if Loki was with him when he did his daily runs to each realm. Perhaps that the people would see Loki in a different light.

That was his plan. If Loki was going to be king with him, at least then Loki wouldn't be hated and his plans would be taken seriously since he would be his adviser on anything war related and anything that needed to be handed delicately.

"To be honest I don't think I would consider the throne if it wasn't for you brother." Thor mentioned before finishing the last of his pizza. He was sharing half of what was on his mind. He was getting comfortable with letting small 'stresses' go having small conversations like this helped ease his mind. Having the food Thor decided to go to bed as Loki suggested without much of a fight.
--

Thor had pretty much slept the entire morning/mid afternoon. Meanwhile as promised after Loki's stuff was carefully managed by Thor's mother. Heimdall had transported both Fandral and Hogun had arrived outside Tony stark's tower as arranged in a less conspicuous place since they weren't subtle to begin with and the less likely hood of getting distracted or lost.

Fandral was looking forward to seeing Thor again. Shuffling the big boxes on his hip with Hogun with the other boxes they had put on the ground. Fandral was glad he wasn't coming alone. "God I can't believe he didn't trust us to manage to put his stuff away, what are we likely to do?" Fandral sounded insulted with the clear instructions from Heimdall that only his mother was going to put stuff away carefully and managed.

"Woah is that Stark's tower? pretty impressive do you think he knows we're here yet?"

[Tachi]

"I avoid hitting any organs. Is that not love?" He could deal out far worse damages. "Sometimes you infuriate me, brother, with your inability to understand. The least you could do is feel some of the pain I feel." It was more than he'd told him and had exposed of himself than he had before their courting. Loki wasn't going to explain himself any further than that. It was already a disgusting feeling in how exposing it was. Changing the subject was certainly something he encouraged.

"You mean we will be travelling to Asgard." As he couldn't very well be left behind. Meeting his brother's eyes, his own turned somewhat calculative as he continued to speak. It'd be an awkward thing for them both no matter the circumstances if he was continued to be bound to Thor unknown centuries. Had Odin planned on severing it after Thor was mated? No matter. Thor was his and even without the bracelets Loki now wouldn't disappear from his mate's side.

Rebuilding his image. The things he'd done to Jotunheim had had a reason and the things he'd done to Midguard had been under mind control. Not the best set of circumstances. "I suppose that is something that'll have to be done, but bother, do you truly plan on visiting Jotunheim?" Neither of them would be welcome there. For their own reasons. Though Loki didn't know who'd taken over after Lafey.

"You would, if there was no other choice." Because Thor was the type of man to step up. "I know how you think. Do not even begin to consider that this potential freedom from these bracelets means you can go out looking for him, Thor." Loki wouldn't allow it. Not half-cocked and alone. He wasn't going to lose his mate to the same man who tortured him. "Promise me. On your honor as a warrior." That was not something Thor would easily break.

When they were done eating, Loki made sure Thor went to bed, though he stayed up a while longer, looking through one of the books Banner had saw fit to lend him.

The next morning he slept in but not as much as Thor. Still, he didn't wake him up and got up on his own, eating breakfast and reading more of the book on the couch in their quarters. He didn't see the need to socialize all the time and was content where he was, uncalled upon.

--

"Sir, Prince Thor's guests appear to have arrived."

It took Tony a minute to process what'd been said, given that he'd stayed up all night looking at various youtube videos and hunting down a certain spider-kid who'd caught his attention. That hadn't actually taken that long. What had was getting his brain thinking about a better suit for him than that onesie and it'd all kind of snowballed from there. Long story short: he hadn't slept all night. "Already? Wait 'guests' as in plural? Not the suitor?"

"I cannot tell, Sir, but it would appear that these three might be the 'friends' Prince Loki had spoke of. One appears to be a pregnant omega, sir."

"Really?? Alright," he said, rubbing his face with both hands. "Let 'em in."

"Certainly, Sir."

--

Outside, Jarvis localized a speaker near the two visitors. "Mr. Stark has been made aware of your presence. I will alert Prince Thor and Prince Loki of it as well. Please, enter inside and you will be directed towards the waiting room." A guard had been alerted and would direct them to the seating before leaving them be.

"Oh, who's that?" Volstagg asked, then wondered out loud, "Do you think they have anything to eat in there?" He'd always enjoyed good food but now that his belly was round and distended with pregnancy, he was always craving to nibble on something. For that reason he was also the one not carrying anything even though he insisted he could just fine and there was no reason to make a fuss.

--

"Prince Loki, guests of Asgard have arrived. May I inquiry as to if they're of the welcome variety? It appears to be three warriors"

Loki looked up from the book. They hadn't wasted any time. "It's likely Frandal, Volstagg and Hogan. Friends, welcome. We'll be down there soon." Closing the book, he got up and headed into the bedroom, putting his hand on Thor's broad shoulder. "Brother, wake up. Your annoying friends are here. Don't make me face them alone." With a somewhat wicked smirk, he kissed the man and playfully threatened, "Or I shall have to start telling tales."

--

Jarvis relayed the information to Tony, but since he needed the break anyway and was very much done with unknown Asgardians running around his Tower, he headed on down to the waiting room while Thor and Loki did whatever it was they were doing. "Hey there, Tony Stark. Just to make sure, you're the friends Loki was talking about and not another suitor and his entourage, right? Because I've gotta tell you, that first guy." He whistled to show something crashing. "It was bad and I'd rather have a good day here."

Volstagg was the first to give off hearty laughter. "Definitely not!" Of course he was an expectant omega, so there was no way he was here to court Thor. "We are friends of Thor! Come to deliver his and Loki's things, the scoundrel." There wasn't even much animosity in his words against Loki. They all knew him and what he was like.

[Silver_Lady]

Thor had hashed a plan to defeat Thannos on Loki's honour but been as he had to do a warrior's promise it was  a sneaky move. He rather not face that man after all what he did to Loki he would do it even if it cost him his life he would face that purple idiot. Thor was enjoying a nice sleep just relaxing in bed. He felt rejuvenated.

It was only when Loki started to wake him up alerting him that his friends were there. "Oh no no more stories out of you brother." Thor scorned playfully. "I will bring my mighty hammer and end you." Thor retaliated. He felt a bit off but couldn't quite pin point but he figured that was just down to the stress that he was facing with everything happening at once.

"I sometimes hate it that you can read my mind or know something that I don't know or potentially thinking of. I love that about you and hate that about you. It's like I don't even have to say my piece and you've on the same wave length as me." Thor grinned at the God of mischief. "Who knows the God of mischief might be catching on." Thor said as he quickly got some clothes on no doubt that they were were  wearing Asguarding clothes and would stick out like a sore thumb and didn't want Tony to get any ideas about being left alone with those two..

"This is fancy " As the pair grabbed Loki's stuff.  The pair were waiting until a man appeared to be Tony stark. Fandral put the stuff around his feet. "I'm Fandral the dashing and this is Volstagg the Enormous.. But don't let his size intimidate you." Fandral introduced himself to the human of Miguard.

Fandral and Volstagg looked at each other as if they were trying to think who he must be thinking of. "You must be thinking of Vanrad that little swine."  Volstagg spoke. "We've been placing bets how long that snake would last with Thor, we knew he wasn't really an Alpha material. Besides we were surprised he came back in one piece. "

"You know you could've started a war with Odin by bringing Vanrad back." Volstagg smiled at Stark. "This is Loki's stuff Odin wanted to burn it or get rid of it but his mother was very protective of it she didn't want us to go near it." Fandral spoke.

It didn't take long before Thor, with Loki following in suit. Thor practically beamed when he saw his friends. "Fandral, Volstagg !" Thor was chuffed to see his friends he couldn't practically keep the smile of his face. He greeted both men with a warrior's embrace.

"What on earth are you wearing?" Fandral asked Thor who was in normal Miguard clothes.

"This is what they wear here and I'd suggest you do the same when you come here. Then you blend in easier." Thor said.

[Tachi]

"Is that what you'll do?" Loki replied, taunting just as playfully. He hummed soon after. "I know you, brother." Already dressed, he could take the time to appreciate Thor's form, not hiding it. "I'll have to rub off on you again then." He replied, deliberately letting it sound vulgar. When he was closer to being done he went and retrieved his shoes so he could head down fully dressed. The Tower didn't exactly require it, but he preferred to be fortified.

--

"And I am Volstagg the Valiant." The larger man introduced himself.

Tony smirked a bit, thinking about how they'd gotten rid of Vanrad. "And that's why he was still in one piece, minus some of his dignity." In order to not start a war. "It was either he get out of here or we end up with out own little war here." Frowning at the containers of stuff, he didn't hesitate in speaking his mind. "You know, the more I hear about Odin the less I like him." Hadn't he been starting to come around or was that just part of the political act?

Volstagg exchanged a glance with his companions. "It'd be wise to take some caution in what you say, Stark." He advised.

"I'll keep that in mind, though I'm sure it's on a mutual level." Tony 'Spark'. "Staying long? I feel somewhat assured that he won't send down the next one with you three here." He'd rather have Thor's 'viking friends' than a suitor. It wasn't long before he heard Thor's booming voice and then there was the cry from the three as they embraced. Loki strayed back somewhat near Stark, never really involved in the friendly greetings.

With Volstagg's rounded stomach it made it hard to properly hug and he laughed over it, heartily patting Thor on the shoulder as he pulled back. Looking down at the Midguardian-wear he made a bit of a face. "I don't think I'll fit in it. Is there something in more of a tunic?"

Volstagg was an omega with many children. He went out to battle when he didn't have young ones to take care of. It'd always had a strange effect on Thor. Volstagg wasn't mated though, he just bedded with whom he wanted. Not the same as a crown prince who required a mate.

[Silver_Lady]

"That is true that is true." Thor commented. "Loki did you see who visited?" Trying to include Loki in on the embrace knowing full well that he wasn't interested in that kind of thing. But he was really happy for the first time in ages Thor fully relaxed.

He wondered how Volstagg was able to give up being a warrior, Thor was still unsettled with that fact. He fort with it for a lot of years battling with his own insecurities about being an omega himself often or not he'd have a drink with Volstagg. It's not like that he didn't like children he just didn't understand how to switch from being a mother-figure to a warrior figure. He had a lot of complications.

Seeing Loki, Fandral had stepped aside letting the two hug. "Loki your mother kicked us out the room so we have no idea what you have but we brought everything with everyone's help we managed to bring your stuff in one trip."  The boxes weren't light it was why Fandral thought it was best to brign Volstagg and Hogun to help out with the heavy lifting.

"She also gave you a letter in one of the boxes. She managed to keep everything from Odin he wasn't even allowed into your room." Fandral commented.

Thor was glad to be in company of Asguardian's it's been a while since he felt like home. Since all the rushing around to different realms cleaning up after Loki's mess. His chest felt tingly strangely sensitive when the fabric rubbed against a nipple, or his chest it tingled.

"I wish we could stay long we're here to bring Loki's stuff. Odin won't let that stop him from bringing a suiter. But I might have some entail on the next one I over heard Odin speak."  Fandral smirked.   

[Tachi]

"Of course I have." Loki replied. The only person Loki would've, and did, let pull him into a hug is Thor. Well, perhaps Volstagg but that's only because fighting it may harm the omega or his children and even Loki wasn't that cruel. It gave him the opportunity to scent him and finally, Thor's scent was relaxing, and that had been the goal of suggesting that these three come. Well, that and retrieving his things. It hadn't been a certain thing that they would still be there after these years or his sentence, but he had Mother to thank for that.

"You have my thanks, then. As does Mother." He replied cordially. The Warrior's Three had only really ever accepted him because of his brother. They knew nothing of what'd really happened, so he could imagine what they thought of him. Thor spoke of being his mate and ruling together, but he didn't know what he would tell his friends, if anything. At least he didn't have to deal with the biting tones of Sif.

Tony had been standing back, letting them greet each other and was thinking of taking off and talking later, when he overheard something about the next suitor. Walking up to stand next to Thor, he said, "Now that'd be really helpful. You guys don't happen to have any detectors or removers of those electro-shock chips Vanrad was talking about, do you? I'd rather be prepared and redesign something myself."

Volstagg frowned. "The scum threatened to use them? Against the Prince of Asgard?"

"I prefer life without a bark-collar too, thank you." Tony confirmed.

[Silver_Lady]

Fandral looked at Tony Stark then to his brother. "I hate those things only real low lives will use them. They're a little chip that goes into the neck. You have a controller and they can have the power to shock you. It's a nasty shock I will tell you." Fandral thought about what he had said about detectors.

"Vanrad was particular fond of praying on those that were weaker on him. Even if he wasn't stronger than Prince of Asguard. He will find ways to get Thor to submit. He will do anything even if means doing things like that to get him to submit to his will. Manipulating and controlling not a true definition of an Alpha they tried to do that to Volstagg once." He chuckled at the result of that. But made him angry at the same time.

"Sadly not but their is something you've got to be warned about is a whip that is capable of hurting a God. Odin doesn't like it and it is a forbidden weapon. It is capable of scarring the skin as God's don't injure like you humans do." Fandral shrugged thinking of useful information.

"The next suiter should be coming next remember is Kurse. Remember him? " He gestured to Loki. "You should do Loki. He's coming to try on Thor next,  he's devilishly  handsome and charming you couldn't fault the guy. But the minute that anyone rubs him up the wrong way he'd court you in the way that you don't even realise that you're being courted."

Thor groaned at the idea of that man.  "Seriously?" Thor looked at Loki. "He's a pain in the ass but not so much to worry about being an ass to you Stark. He'd probably try and be your friend, he'd manipulate you into his doing. Before you realise your best buddies and he'd slowly try and isolate me that's his way of courting." Thor snorted at the very idea.

Thor's good mood had shaken a little at the prospect of Kurse. Anyone who is capable of breaching the rules would be him. He was a man of discipline and Thor rarely argued with him. He used his tall structure as intimidation. But to everyone else Kurse would act like a best friend. That was Thor was worried about.

"God just kill me now." Thor groaned at the idea of dealing with him. "Can I knight anyone besides me to be prince? Stark how about it?" Thor gestured as he started pacing in the far corner. He was clearly worried about dealing with Kurse.

"He was one of Odin's knights. He knows everything about discipline."

[Tachi]

"Bah!" Volstagg burst out. "I put them in their place! One doesn't spar with Thor on the constant and not build up a little resistance to electricity." He chuckled.

"Seriously?" Tony started. "Do I have to have security start giving a strip search to everyone who walks through the door? I'm making Steve do it." He had the strength and was the Alpha. Tony was sure he could wiggle his way out of it.

"Not a bad idea." Loki replied, though he was soon scowling at news of who was coming. Kurse was fairly good at what he did, manipulating people by being charming, but he didn't fool Loki and Loki didn't care for his antics. Thor, however, more easily fell for platitudes and trickery. The only silver lining was that after all these years that he'd definitely had the time to see the other side of him and know what a bastard he was. If he wasn't hiding it from you it was a little more obvious.

"I've dealt with more than my share of manipulative bastards over the years. One more isn't going to change anything. It's going to be fun watching Nat play with him." Because that woman didn't like being manipulated and looked down on. He just hoped she didn't go for the long term game where he had to deal with her playing along. Cringe worthy.

Loki let out a huff of air. "You were just calming down." Honestly, smelling Thor nervous all the time made him on edge, his instincts telling him to protect and comfort his omega. "Do you really expect him to be able to manipulate me? Or that his discipline or rank matters in comparison to the crown prince's? I'll not allow his isolation tactics. Now stop your pacing and relax."

Volstagg raised a brow, looking between the two of them. "Well, it looks like things have gotten better in this regard at least." It was a good thing when they weren't at each other's necks! He'd always been a little bit suspicious... The way they acted around each other, it was more akin to mates.

"Okay, one, I don't think that'll work. Two, very not interested. And three, let's get this soap opera out of the meeting room and somewhere on the Avenger's floors." He felt safe in his own building, but he'd rather be up where they'd less likely be disturbed. "Besides, Thor, not to be creepy or anything, but you're never actually alone."

"I will continue to monitor these 'unwanted guests', Sirs. So long as it's within my capability to do so."

"If he wants to take you out of here, I have some tech with J attached to it that you can borrow." It made him feel safer to have that tech on him. If it made Thor feel better as well then why not?

A motion was made and Loki levitated the boxes the warriors had been carrying, looking back to Tony. "My thanks, Stark." Though if Thor went anywhere, he would be watching him closely.

[Silver_Lady]

Thor was feeling anxious, the suiters were one thing. The rest of his problems he could handle. His eyes looked at Loki as if he was searching for validation of Loki's convictions of being able to 'see through' his manipulation and his isolation. Of course Kurse would have to be one step ahead of Loki if he ever tried anything against Thor. Loki saw through everything, besides he'd probably invented half of it when it came to breaking the laws of psychics and understanding how the mind works.

Thor let out a sigh in some terms he would of put his head on Loki's shoulder just for comfort but he didn't want to show weakness in front of his friends. "It wouldn't be a bad idea. The weapon Fandral was speaking of is a tiny rod that extends to a naked eye just looks impractical. But trust me in the wrong hands it's pretty lethal to humans especially to Gods."

"A party and no one invited me?" She spoke as she heard her name being called who were lurking in the door way. She was watching the men engage with one another mainly for Tony's back up if anything went down even if they were Thor's friends they still needed to vouch that they weren't going to cause any trouble but by the looks of things, they did exactly what they were told and were more gracious than Thor was as Loki described.

"Well considering I was one of the few that was able to sneak up on you and beat you at your own game." She smiled at Loki before leaving the group.  Heading up towards the Avengers floor expecting the group to follow Tony.

"Where do you want us to put this Loki?" Fandral asked indicating the boxes. "I'm sure you don't want that leaving around we can help you lift them to your room if you want?" Fandral asked. It was a peace offering even though they mostly kept their distance Fandral and the others knew how much Loki meant to Thor.

When the group started to move out Fandral remained a little behind when Thor was distracted with Volstagg and Tony were making their way up. "So how thing's have been with Thor? " He asked knowing that Loki would tell him the truth. "I would ask him myself but I know he wouldn't tell me the truth." Fandral asked. It was nice to see the relationship had changed. The strain was obviously their but they weren't killing each other.

"I was worried about Thor when he was taking on the suiters, I wanted to hate you since you were the reason why he was doing it. But seeing you just now I can tell you're taking good care of him. " Fandral smiled.

[Tachi]

In this, Loki was fully confident in his ability not to fall for any of Kurse's mind games. Especially not since he'd be looking for them and on edge as the man would be after his omega. There was no room to relax and 'be friendly' and he'd likely prickle and have some choice words if Thor forgot whom he was dealing with and started falling for his tactics. That was if he didn't simply stab Kurse and make his displeasure known that way. If all else failed, well, it was plenty dishonorable to court an omega already bonded and unwilling.

A small scowl was given to Natasha. "I was hardly at my best, was I? Halfway out of my mind." Fighting the mind control and trying to do what he could to be caught while not deliberately disobeying Thannos. Someone else should try it and get back to him on how easy it was.

"Yeah, yeah, we get it, you're awesome." Tony said, chuckling, and make sure Loki saw him before he lightly clapped him on the shoulder. Seeing it coming, it didn't startle him or send him overly tensing. Tony knew how it was. "Might need two elevators. That's a lot of stuff."

"It's quite alright," Loki replied to Frandal, the boxes floating in the air. "I can manage. I'm sure you'd all rather catch up with Thor."

Awk-ward, Tony thought. "Okay, let's get this conga line moving!" With that being said he started leading them to the elevators. There were over 90 floors in the tower and they were not walking up them.

Loki lingered back out of habit, keeping an eye on Thor, though he side-eyed Frandal for a moment when the man came up beside him. Quite a few people were watching. The Asgardian clothes and the floating objects attracted a lot of attention but these were Stark's employees and better than those on the streets. "Overly stressed, recovering from self-neglect, and with the distinct inability to relax for more than five minutes." Which was the truth of the matter, though things were awkward in speaking with Frandal.

A hint of a growl started in his chest. "It was stupid of him to bargain such a thing." He hated the suitors, knowing they'd be flirting with and trying to court his omega. But Loki also knew Thor had done it out of desperation and love, knowing nothing of what'd actually happened. No one else would have him. Thor simply...wasn't prepared to take on the crown yet. They had work to do.

[Silver_Lady]

Fandral sighed as he knew Loki had the exact same response. "Hopefully we can cheer him up, plenty of drinking an all. You know, I suppose I shouldn't tell you this but when we were going to realm after realm. Thor was loosing a lot of weight. When we offered him food and drink, which of course you know that Thor never had any problems with taking before. But he he said he wouldn't eat only as much as Odin gave you and when he gave it to you. He felt guilty for having such luxury." Fandral knew that Thor operated in a strange way.

To some seemed stupid doing such tiring things, doing wars and battling with different species of space was a different matter but Thor managed it and now he was paying for the price of it. "I knew you'd end up with him. You both just needed time. Being around Volstagg might even bring Thor more comfortable being an omega. I know he's been struggling with that a lot." Fandral ended his commentary and thoughts knowing that Loki would be thinking the same or at least one step a head. He smiled at Loki before returning to the group.

Thor on the other hand laughed at Tony's antics before they all went to seperate elevators. it felt weird being away from Loki. He remained close to Volstagg. "How did it feel to give in to the omega side of things Volstagg? did you ever miss it? sometimes I feel like the DNA results were wrong. I never felt 'normal' to be a omega." Thor said quietly to Volstagg Everyone else was busy talking amongst themselves.

Banner and Captain America were already at the Avengers suit as the group arrived at the same time .Thor was thinking and was worried about Kurse. Of course he was pretty good at knowing Loki's trickery. Thor might not be intelligent as the others but he could see Loki's trickery a mile away. He knew the difference between the illusion and his real self. 

Nat smiled as she came over to the two lads, where Thor and Volstagg were standing." I'm Nat, also known as the black Widow. How far along are you?" She smiled sensing that he was pregnant. Hoping it wasn't rude to ask since Asguarding rules were different to Earth's.

[Tachi]

The slight frown lingered. Thor was still foolish, but in another way: to not see the bond that was already between them and what it meant, even after the things they'd been through and done to each other. His eyes flickered again to Frandal. His scent was all over Thor, his brother was completely obvious without knowing it--they both were, likely--so he wasn't overly surprised that Thor's close friends had caught on. It made things easier. He'd not known that Volstagg was pregnant again, but yes, it may help him.

Loki took the separate elevator, going to his and Thor's floor instead to see about unpacking and reading the letter that Mother had sent. He wouldn't miss a bit of socializing and Thor would be fine with his friends. He always had the weather outside as an indicator and he was certain Jarvis would summon him if things started to go wrong. The others could fit into the other elevator without all of the boxes getting in the way.

"Completely different set of battles, Thor. Your whole focus turns onto these little lives that're completely dependent on you. Exhausting, but it feels so right. 'Couse I miss being out in battle, but the battles never end, do they? There'll be more!" Conflict was a part of any race. "There's nothing wrong with being an omega. It's hard to leave the little ones sometimes, but I know who I'm fighting for. Got more to fight for than most. Tends to make a man stronger, not weaker." He said, putting his hand on Thor's arm companionly.

Leaning in a bit, he said quieter, "Besides, I'd hate to be the one who'd try and get through Loki to get to you." He exaggerated a shudder, knowing how Loki could be when he was angry and spiteful. Give him someone he loved to protect? Who knows what could happen.  His attention turned onto Natasha when she approached, not bothered at all by her line of questioning. "Six months. Though I believe you Midguardians count in weeks?" He was quite large for the time even with the amount of muscles he had which made it harder for the pregnancy to show. "Twins, as is standard on Asgard for omegas."

Thor had wondered what it would be like to be pregnant, to be settled down but his warrior instincts were so strong that he never thought it would be possible.  If he did no doubt that the life that Volstagg chosen for himself suited him down at least he was happy doing that. Thor was wondering if he'd miss doing hero work and becoming a warrior. Volstagg was one of those that made it happen, seemed perfectly happy doing both.

Thor never even entertained the idea that you could do both. Nat seemed to be fascinated with Asgardian way of doing things when it came down to fertility and pregnancies of males. Thor wondered if Loki wanted it, what if Loki's response if he accidentally got pregnant? Would he hate it or love the idea of being a dad? Thor didn't know he didn't dare to question or breech the subject at all because he was afraid of the answer.

"I'm just good at what I do I don't think neither me or Loki had mother or father instincts in us." Thor commented even though he loved all of Volstagg's children or any children in-fact he had always had a keen interest and children but the thought of having any were another matter. Thor leaned against the wall as Nat spoke to Volstagg. His chest was interesting it felt highly sensitive something felt off but didn't quite put his finger on it.

"God I could murder some alcohol" Thor commented he just wanted to drink with the boys. "That's another thing how could you not stand not drinking mate? It would end me if I couldn't down any." Thor commented eyeing at his friend. Thor enjoyed a good heavy drink. He could drink until the morning.  It felt weird not being able to land his eyes on Loki. He was feeling pretty anxious even if he was in the company of his friends.

"No one knows what they're doing at first. It's all advice, books, and trial and error. You'd be surprised what instincts come through though." Volstagg replied to Thor, dissuading his concerns about it. Everyone thought that at first. Thor got on fine with his kids though and he'd be a great mom to any child. He certainly had a headstart, putting up with Loki's mischief.

Now Volstagg liked to drink as much as the next Asgardian, so it was indeed a pain to go without for months like this. "Aye, it is a downside, but in return people practically shove extra food at you and you get the most comfortable seating in the house!" It was practically pampering for a warrior. "Trust me, at some point you get tired of carrying around a watermelon and let people do things for you. Not all that heavy, but killer on the back!" Like they were tring to pull his spine out through his stomach.

"Did someone say something about drinking?" Clint asked, stepping into the room from the elevator. "I heard there was a party going on." It was the party floor after all that Tony had taken them all to.

"Bar's on the second level." Tony called. "J, order in some food."

"Now that sounds more like it." Volstagg approved.

"On it, Sir." Jarvis also turned on a playlist at a low level so they could still talk and mingle.

A little more sensitive with his senses while he was pregnant, Volstagg was questioning if he was reading Thor right. There was something about him... Well, that anxiety just wasn't going to do. It was going to make him anxious! "Thor! I refuse to take an elevator for a single flight of stairs. Now help me up the stairs and breathe not a word of it." He playfully threatened, not about to be left downstairs when the bar was up, even if he couldn't partake in the alcohol. The truth was it wasn't the stairs that was hard. It was the possibility of his babes tapdancing on his bladder that got to him.

A discussion with Jarvis let him know that his furniture was scheduled to be delivered tomorrow. Honestly, Loki didn't care. Remaining in the same bed with Thor was fine with him, though the available space for being alone was nice simply to have. The broken furniture had been removed so he moved his boxes into his room and took out what he needed, such as his daggers. Those he slipped away and returned the kitchen knives, cleaned. He discussed more shelf space with Jarvis, looking at the rest of the apartment and determining what could be in the shared space that Thor wouldn't get into and hurt himself with, before he came to a roadblock. The rest required the delivery.

Part of him was tempted to remain in their rooms, but he was well aware that Thor, as of late, became anxious without his presence. He couldn't say he wasn't unaffected by it either, and it had nothing to do with the bracelets. It was the incomplete bond between them; the lack of mating marks. Fortifying himself, Loki got into the elevator. "Take me to Thor." It closed and Jarvis opened up on the party room's second floor, where Tony was now behind the bar, serving up drinks.  Everyone was here. Loki came up beside Thor, resigned that his brother would likely be center of attention, like usual.
