Topic: Thunder and Mischief (Tachi & Silver_Lady)

[Silver_Lady]

"Surely that would be easier for you?" Thor tilted his head in confusion not understanding. "I'm sure their is non-alcoholic beverages that you can partake on? what if I brought it to you?" He asked. He was more worried that the fact that he might fall. Of course Thor wouldn't let that happen.

Thor had no issue in helping Volstagg. "I have something even better Volstagg." He grinned at the male. And carried the male bridal style being able to lift heavier weight he was also careful of the babies inside him. When Thor did that his body didn't like it but he ignored the discomfort. It wasn't so much that he couldn't it triggered something inside him. Thor had lifted up the stairs and carefully put Volstagg back on the ground. "See? no issues." Thor grinned at the male.

"Everything okay?" Thor was asking checking. When Thor let Volstagg on the ground again he felt strange. He mentally groaned a little. It wasn't that Volstagg's weight and extra weight as the problem normally he'd carry any of his brethren fine. Thor ignored that uneasiness. "What can I get you? "Thor helped Volstagg to the chair. He took a few minutes as he was leaning against the bar stool hoping that Loki wouldn't notice that it took something out of him to Lift Volstagg up those stairs.

Once Volstagg had offered his order, waiting to hear about Thor ordered his own usual beverage the strongest it was behind the bar. Thor had sat between Loki and Volstagg Fandral was still talking to others within the group and Hogun was talking to Captain America.

Thor's a drink arrived on the table. Despite being a bit off, feeling intensely anxious that part of him settled the minute his eyes laid on Loki's. He didn't know why his friends were here the city wasn't under attack. So their was no reason to feel anxious. To everyone else he was fine only those around him seeing he was struggling mentally. Thor rubbed the lower part of his stomach unknowingly as if it was uncomfortable.

[Tachi]

"I'm not about to stay down here and miss out on all the fun." Volstagg was still stubborn and not about to let pregnancy stop him. Besides, he could spot couches on the upper floor from the balcony that he could fully take advantage of. "Eh?" He started and then cried out, smacking Thor on the shoulder, "I ain't no bridesmaid, Thor! I can walk by myself." It was in good humor though, the man not actually angry at his friend. It was faster and easier on him. Just not on his pride. "You always were a show off." He teased him.

"Aye, I'm fine. Not made of fluff and glass." He said, puffing out his chest as if to remind him off that. Volstagg chuckled and replied, "Let's see what juice your friend has. I believe they call them 'virgin' drinks here." He chatted with Tony for a moment, figuring out what to order and then letting the man, who obviously knew what he was doing, whip something up for him.

Loki could tell something was off. It wasn't just the anxiety that'd been plaguing him since they'd arrived, but Thor wasn't being his loud and boisterous self as he usually was when it came to drinking and parties. He'd been exhausted as of late but he'd gotten rest last night. Being tired again so soon didn't make sense. As he observed him, his eyes followed his hand down to his stomach. Was he not feeling well? Or...? Loki's eyes went to Volstagg, heavy with child.

Without care for what anyone else thought, Loki stood and stepped in close to Thor, invading his space and crowding his nose in against his neck, scenting him. His hands were on his waist to still him and he inhaled deep. There was Thor's familiar scent, the traces of past heat, him, and faint, covered by stress, but still there, the scent of pregnancy. Thor was pregnant. The alpha part of him felt satisfied. The rest? He'd not planned on children so soon, but he knew of the risk. Thor was the God of fertility after all. Part of him wondered if he'd be a good father, but one thing he knew for certain is that he wouldn't let any harm come to his family.

[Silver_Lady]

"Sorry for that Volstagg, couldn't run the risk of you falling backwards." Thor grinned back at the male he was very satisfied at the word show off. "Just reminding you who's boss that's all." Thor quipped back. "Hey if you got it you might as well flaunt it." When Loki came around, came closer than normal. Not that he minded but he didn't understand it. Thor didn't flinch or move to where Loki was who was behind him cradling him it was just abnormal for him to do it in public. Normally showing affection was for there private time.


Thor's hands were around his glass. He was relaxing far more mainly because he felt protected. But that was the thing was. Why did he feel the need to be protective. His stomach flinched at the touch at the touch mainly because he wasn't expecting it. His stomach was behaving oddly, it felt nauseous. But having company took priority. "What's gotten into you?" Thor asked quietly to Loki unsure to what to make of Loki's suggestion. Not that he minded but it was completely out of character.

"I am fine you know." Thor wondered if he was worried? he could feel Loki's nose inhaling his scent.  He just didn't understand Loki's behaviour. Thor didn't like being the centre of attention tonight he was just quietly enjoying a drink and good company. Normally people would try their hand at showing on who was worthy of holding Mjolnir as a fun past time.
 
In all honesty he felt like crap, his body felt ridiculously sensitive. 

[Tachi]

Thor didn't know he was pregnant. One of his hands slid to the man's stomach for a moment, where Thor had been touching and he contemplated whether he should tell him. He was stressed out enough as it was but Thor also had a penchant for drinking and getting into dangerous situations. Not to mention letting himself run ragged as of late. It may force him to take better care of himself. Then again, would it only stress him more? It wasn't something that could be hidden for long and highly controversial for him to attempt to do so.

"Can I not worry about my mate?" Loki replied quietly. Volstagg gave them a glance but nothing more, choosing to occupy himself with something else. The God sat back down, but closer, thigh touching Thor's. "Stark, another one of those things you made for Volstagg." Tony raised a brow at him but went ahead and went about making it. When it was sat down, Loki took the drink out of Thor's hand and slid this new one over, downing the old one before he could really begin to protest.

"Someone should drink in consolidarity with Volstagg, don't you think, brother?" Loki challenged. Volstagg glanced over at the two of them and looked between them and then the drink.

"Oh...oh!" The man caught on. "'Tis not that bad, Thor! Your man here knows what he's doing." He did not envy Loki right now, having to cut off Thor and tell him he was pregnant. Thor could drink more than the most of them.

[Silver_Lady]

Thor was completely disarray. He was minding his own business until he saw the shock of the exchange of Loki's taking his own drink and replacing it with his own. Being denied his own drink, he didn't understand. Thor hated the fact that Loki was using a low the belt move. He used Volstagg's in a way that he couldn't drink. Loki never cared in that regards to how much he drank before.

He tilted his head in confusion. "This isn't over Brother." Thor growled that last part he might be playing it cool right now but he hated being dictated. Out of respect for Volstagg he refused to make a scene over it. Mentally he was annoyed at Loki's move. In the end he got up from his seat his eyes stared at Loki as if they were challenging. Of course Loki's stare was hard enough when Thor was pissed off it was the same.

Thor didn't understand why Loki was behaving strangely. Thor mainly did his own thing. What was stopping him from ordering another drink? He grinned at the very prospect of it. Thor didn't like the fact that he was cornered. He had planned to drink quite a bit, he was a bit gutted. "Excuse me." Thor politely said it to Volstagg.

Thor had not 'ran' like he wanted to. But he causally walked to the bathroom.  Thor didn't know how to respond to Loki's odd move. He smiled lightly back to Volstagg before slipping into it he had locked the bathroom door from the inside  to calm down.  He had intended not to make a scene.

"Are we okay?" Fandral asked Volstagg. "What's up with Thor?" He asked Loki.

[Tachi]

One would think Thor was an alcoholic by the way he reacted to his drink being stolen, but that wasn't really the case. It was a cultural pastime for Asgardian warriors. It also wasn't just that though, but it was akin to him controlling him as an Alpha. They still had their issues to get through and Thor still didn't understand him enough to know that he always had a reason for doing something. Even if he was debating on not telling him that reason.

Loki knew it wasn't over. It was going to be a battle to keep him from drinking unless he outright told him why he shouldn't. This was meant to be a time for him to relax and in any other circumstance he wouldn't take that away from him, but this...was too important. He didn't back down from the stare, not at all about to allow Thor to get around him and order or sneak any alcohol. It was going to be such a chore to remove everything from their floor. When he excused himself, he watched where he went, Volstagg, looking between them, concerned.

"I'm not sure 'okay' is the word for it." Volstagg responded.

"He's angry I won't let him drink." Loki said simply.

Volstagg caught Frandal's eye and touched his own large stomach. "Is there a reason you're not telling him, Loki?"

Loki frowned at him. "He's under enough stress. He barely accepts being an omega. Time is needed."

Volstagg couldn't really argue with those points. Thor had always taken issue with his second gender and they could all see the stress he was under. "I'm glad I'm not the one having to tell him 'no' to drink."

Tony, as bartender, couldn't help but overhear some of this and drank back his fingers of whiskey. "This is going to be interesting. And by interesting I mean full of drama."

[Silver_Lady]

Thor allowed the stress to roll of him, he was in the bathroom. Thor was holding on to the age of the basin allowing him to calm the sickness. He had never been ill in his life if he was it was  few and far in between he was rarely caught in a situation like this. Loki had been stubborn and he was stubborn. But the reason was always apparent. The drink was allow him to calm down he wasn't an excessive drinker and could hold his own it was the way he socialised. It was just the below the bar move that Loki had Volstagg's condition.

Well.. to put it simply to be told no. He didn't want to be controlled or to be told what to do but there had to be a reason behind it. The reason why Loki was being like this. The reason behind everything. But what was the reason? His body was breathing heavy. Before he went into the toilet to be sick his hands were resting on the toilet luckily his hair was tied back in a pony tail he just had to flick it. What the heck was going on?

Thor sat down on the floor allowing him to think it over. His back was against the wall allowing his senses to ground themselves. The one time his friends came over, he had to be sick? What kind of logic was that?

Fandral meanwhile had caught on to Volstagg who was touching his stomach. "Really Thor?" He asked Volstagg. "Oh I get it why Loki is being the bad guy." He looked to Tony and pretty much agreed.  "I don't blame the guy, he has to deal with the suiters he's got to deal with. You're going to have your hands full Loki. I don't wish to be in your shoes even if it's just Thor."

Thor finished sitting on the floor and went to the water-basin and cleaned his face up he didn't want Loki to pick that up. But the funny thing was he hadn't had a clue that Loki was already on the case with it. When he allowed himself to unlock the bathroom door he re-entered the room  no doubt Jarvis would've already alerted Tony about him being sick. Their was just privacy in this place.

Thor re-joined to where he was sitting he plonked himself on the seat that he originally sat he didn't say anything just wiped off anything that gave it away. Thor didn't even meet Loki's gaze just felt betrayed.

[Tachi]

Jarvis actually had little wiring in the bathrooms. He wasn't programmed to listen in when it came to bedrooms or bathrooms, simply listen for key phrases or noises and determine if help was required. As he could hear the conversation at the bar and therefore knew of Thor's pregnancy, there was no cause for alarm over the perceived morning sickness. No notification was sent, though it might've been if Thor was gone an exponential amount of time.

"Do you still have no trust for me?" After learning the truth of what'd happened. That he was doing just another thing to spite his brother. "No matter. You can continue to blame me." Being the villain is something he was good at; it's what people expected.

Volstagg went back to his drink, trying hard not to get involved in this conversation, as awkward as it was. He soon reached the end of it and thought about moving to the couch immediately when Jarvis' voice came through.

"The food has arrived." The elevator dinged and opened to reveal bags of good smelling food.

"Thank the Norns!" Volstagg proclaimed. "I mean, good! I'm starving!" Not just desperate to get away from the conversation Loki and Thor were having. He got up to go see what there was or have someone tell him where to sit, anything but remain there feeling awkward.

[Silver_Lady]

Thor raised an eyebrow at Loki's statement rather than a question. Thor sighed mentally he was staring into practically nothing dulled everything around him and tried to think of a solution. He wasn't a problem solver, he wasn't equipped for that kind of tactic only if it came to battles. It was meant to be a good night but his body made him feel like crap and didn't understand why and Loki was behaving in such a way. Being controlled or controlling his behaviour was something that Thor detested without a reason why.

Thor mood had dropped dramatically instead of being high-spirited being welcomed to the fact that his friends were there. He didn't understand what was going on. "I think I'm going to return in for the night." Thor didn't spar any glances or apologises he didn't want to ruin the potential atosmphere for a good evening.

"Thor don't go." Fandral commented but all Thor did was remove himself from the scene and patted him on the shoulder in a quiet apology. He then thanked Tony for the evening before he quietly excused himself from the evening. Food was the last thing that he wanted right now.

"Well that went wonderfully." Fandral mentioned it wasn't like Thor to leave in a middle of the party. In-fact he would be the last one to be. He was such a social person that he enjoyed interactions to see Thor this down he could understand what Loki meant earlier.  "At least he's not making it rain in doors."  Nat spoke.

"Congrats even if it's not warranted at the moment." Fandral smiled towards Loki. "He'd come around if anything it might bring joy. Does it smell singular or  multiple?" He asked Loki. Knowing that twins were a regular thing in Asguard.  "Do you think I should take some food up?" 

[Tachi]

It was the middle of the afternoon. They'd only just woken up and Thor was ready to end socialization and head back to bed. Normally he'd argue with him and be the one trying to cheer him up, but he was very different now and it was clear for everyone to see. Loki got himself out of his chair but didn't dart after him immediately, allowing Thor to have a moment by himself.

"Don't let him hear you say that!" Tony called out to Nat about making it rain inside as he came out from behind the bar to help with the food set up and see where they were with drinks.

"Hard to tell yet." Loki replied. It was very early in the pregnancy. "No, I need to speak with him anyway." He didn't believe Thor was feeling well, so he collected one of the bags with various food items and took it down to their floor, hoping that Thor hadn't gotten into the alcohol down there before there'd been a chance to clear it out. Inhaling to catch his scent, he tracked him to where he was. "Thor?"

--

Meanwhile burgers and various sandwiches were laid out on the table for people to choose from along with the sides. Volstagg was happily piling things on and digging in. It would've been nice for Thor and Loki to be here, but the Avengers were proving to be good company. Besides, soon enough there'd be little Gods or Goddesses running around his kids would have someone to play with. He just hoped Thor could handle everything that was to come.

[Silver_Lady]

Thor was making his way up to the quarters, he felt bad for ditching the group, alcohol was one of the many pleasures of what kept his mind quiet and able to socialise and escape from every day problems.  Thor was one of the joyful one, the loud one but at the moment he just wanted to be in the background rather than the lime light of it. His prescience was enough to catch anyone's attention the life of the party.

Thor felt bad for leaving the group he just didn't understand Loki's strange behaviour.  He frowned as he gazed towards the sky of the open glass windows' when he caught the view of the city and found himself staring at it. He needed a villain of sorts to really spar with someone.  Thor wondered what Loki's angle was. Their was always a reason. Always something.

When he heard his own name being called Thor turned to Loki. He figured that Loki would come and check. Thor leaned against the railing. Thinking as his eyes drifted to Loki's making eye contact. "Sorry for being an ass. It just took me by surprise. I don't take well of being told I can't do something without a reason." Thor shrugged he didn't really need to explain himself since Loki knew that already.

"Don't let me stop you from not enjoying it." Thor gave Loki the clear if he wanted to go back and enjoy the beverages and food. "I didn't want to cause a scene so I came here." Thor was half-making it towards the room.
--
Nat glanced at Tony and smirked "So Volstagg! how long do you think you're going to stay here?" She asked hoping it was a few days since Thor needed it.

"So boys have you ever tried picking the hammer up yet? that thing won't even budge. We all tried it." She tried to swiftly change the topic. Banner was sitting on one chair next to her.

[Tachi]

The food was dropped off onto a piece of furniture, Loki not really concerned about it right now. He'd been manipulative upstairs and he knew it, using words that were meant to shut Thor up and keep him from causing a scene, though he hadn't meant to sent him fleeing to their room. He could leave it here. Continue on and use the same not-understanding they'd achieved to carry them on until Thor was in a better place mentally. Would he get there though? Honestly, he had no idea when his brother's moping would end. This was the first time such a thing had occurred.

Following after, Loki caught his arm and stopped him, turning Thor back around. "You haven't been feeling well." He stated, not asked. "Tonight is the first time you've relaxed enough since your heat that I could smell past your stress. I thought of keeping this to myself, but perhaps Frandal is right and you could use the good news." Taking Thor's hand, he brought it up and kissed the palm before placing it on the man's stomach, holding it there. "You're pregnant."

The God didn't tend to express his emotions very well, but he leaned in and kissed him, slowly and passionately.

--

"Not sure," Volstagg replied. "We're just supposed to drop off Loki's things and retrieve the staff, but nothing says we have to be back by a certain time." They might get a bit in trouble for it though. Not much more than a slap on the wrist. "I can always say I needed a rest after travelling." He laughed. Pregnancy was a good excuse for most things, he found. That and he wanted to be around for Thor.

"Oh sure, Thor's such a showoff. He likes to let people try to lift the hammer just to show off that he's the only one who can, besides Odin." Volstagg rolled his eyes. It was still fun to try, when he wasn't pregnant, that is.

[Silver_Lady]

Thor's eyes remained on Loki as the other took his hand before the other had kissed it and brought it to his stomach. He almost didn't hear the words. Pregnant? Thor looked at him, really looked at him. Had he lost his mind? How could he be pregnant?  He then suddenly thought of the time he went into heat... of course. That's when he fell pregnant!

Thor didn't know whether to be happy or worried, enthusiastically about it.  Thor's jaw dropped tilted his head. "You're joking tell me you're joking?" Thor was trying to process the words. It explained why Loki was being the way he was yesterday. He had been feeling tired as of late but he just put it down due to stress. "You sure you're not just miss melled?" He asked. The reality was dawning on him that all this time in 1500 years he had been denying himself as an omega that it was actually happening. "I'm pregnant?" He asked he wasn't sure what to think.

When Loki was kissing him, slowly and passionately it woke Thor up. He had then cradled Loki's body against the wall having his hands against Loki's head leaning his body into Loki's as he was engrossed in to the passionate kiss. "We're pregnant." Thor was trying to process. He leaned in and allowed his body to rest against the nape of Loki's shoulder just being close to him. Even though he was mixed emotions from happy to worried. He enjoyed Loki's touch. "I missed you." Thor spoken softly. His fingers explored Loki's hair even though Loki was their Thor could see through the fog around his mind. He had been so stressed out with regards to his duties and responsibilities.

"I can't be angry with you now. " Thor pouted playfully and nibbled Loki's ear as punishment.
--

"Well if we don't hear any crack in the wall we should be fine. Providing it don't start raining or thundering. So far it's clear skies." Natasha spoke reassuring Tony with a smirk of her own. "Just think you'd have a little God running around to keep you busy Stark." Natasha was enjoying the food spread and the wine that went with it.

"Providing the building stays up that is." Banner commented.

"Well I'm not looking forward to having a tiny Thor or Loki around the two are trouble enough without that. How is he going to hide it with the suiters? Kurse or Asguardian is going to sniff it out regardless if that's how it works." America commented coming closer to the group.

[Tachi]

His arms went up to grasp back at Thor, keeping him close, and not caring who was pressed against the wall as long as they had a surface to rest against. When Thor moved to rest against him, he placed light, slow kisses against the man's collar bone, enjoying the closeness. "You're pregnant." He confirmed firmly. A little smirk crossing his lips when Thor admitted he couldn't be angry with him now. "See, you should just assume I have a reason for doing things." And trust him, went unsaid as it hadn't really been earned yet.

After a moment he replied, "I'm here now." Unspoken, trapped somewhere within the trauma and pent up emotions, he had missed Thor as well. It was complicated, everything involved with that time. It'd been just after his second rejection and Odin's rejection from the family. A lot of anger and despair had followed him. Due to the sentencing and suitors...he hadn't even had time to work through it.

Now he had no choice but to continue to shove it aside. It had no place next to a pregnant omega and future children. He changed the subject slightly, "Though if you're speaking of since your heat, I'd wanted to let you rest, but other arrangements can be made..." The God flirted, letting his hands roam a little.

--

"Why do you keep looking at me??" Tony exclaimed. "And why am I the assigned babysitter? I'm calling sexism here." And by the only woman present! Volstagg laughed at that but supported that Tony didn't want to deal with any little ones regardless of his gender. As for the other problem, "There's always scent blockers. Don't know if I want to go trial and erroring with Asgardian God DNA--Bruce, that's more your thing--but we could probably make an an aerosol that'd work."

"Oh, Loki's going to hate that." Volstagg commented.

Clint snorted. "There's already guys sniffing around Thor and then his scent gets wiped out on him. Are we sure it's worth both of them being stressed out?"

[Silver_Lady]

Thor's eyes remained on Loki's. "Don't think I have forgotten your problems to Loki. " Thor mentioned briefly the male just wanted to be close. "No matter how stressed you think I am, I want you to come to me. Even if means waking me up, pulling me aside. Even if it means being a silent partner Loki. I want to be there for you." Thor nuzzled close.

"I'm sorry I've been so lost lately. But I am here for you. " Thor knew Loki didn't like confrontation on his trauma but he wasn't forgetting it. He didn't want Loki to having to step and deal with his pregnancy and forget about his own problems. "We'd face it together Loki." Thor wanted Loki to know that since Loki had a habit of dealing with his own problems himself. He didn't want to ruin the moment but he didn't want Loki to think he got away with it either.

--
"Why shouldn't you be the man baby sitter Tony? " She asked as she swirled on her see and ended up with her legs crossing over, her hand was resting on the bar table her fingers near her lips.  Anyone who didn't know her thought she' be serious right now but she was just being amused by Tony's answer.

"You were so good keeping the God's from breaking the place, your too much of a control freak for it not to be you." She smiled at him. "I'm sure you'd be very good at given Thor handling sessions on how to actually 'hold' a baby. Speaking of which, Volstagg how is Thor with children?" She laughed at the idea of Thor handling as a parent but she had a sneaky suspicion that he'd be very good at it with all joking aside.

"Loki would probably hold  a child at arm's length." America commented. Nah, they all knew if it was there own flesh and blood that they would be very hands on parents and very, very protective.
--
Thor frowned for a minute as his hands were exploring Loki's just having his fingers intertwined. "Just one thing that bothers me brother, how the hell am I going to hide this? " Not that he wanted to. "The suiter's going to be angry with me when he finds out. " Thor gave a distress call, wrapping his arms around Loki trying not to let his stress of the new added problems on to him. For now he just wanted it to be him and Loki.
