Topic: Thunder and Mischief (Tachi & Silver_Lady)

[Silver_Lady]

Fandral was going ask for a coffee, but when Tony said about no motor oil whatever it was, it didn't sound good. Whatever it was. When he came closer to the bag in question, he investigated. He suspected it was a sneaky peace offering. He almost wanted to laugh when he saw the note dedicated to Guardian of the Earth was Tony and his dearest omega was Thor. "My guess is he's learnt from Vandrad that by force is not the answer."  Fandral mentioned.

He peered into the bag. "Their is some Asguardian Wine which Thor likes, which of course he cannot have I don't recommend you humans drink it. I really mean don't try and drink it. Even only a few Asguardian's Gods can handle it like Lokia and Thor." Which means that Kurse is unaware that he isn't pregnant yet which is good.

"These are some just Asguardian plants, he knows that Thor cannot go their yet so maybe he's trying to bring some Asguardian back here?. Nothing suspicious to report. There's an Asugaridan Gone definetely a peace offering and put some thought into it." Clearly trying to win Thor's emotional side.   He pulled out the wine which was a small jar. But heavy.  As Fandral investigated the bag.

"What about Herbal tea's? It might be strong enough to knock him out it's suppose to help with Trauma, stress but it doesn't do anything harm to the babies it's plant-based not medication. Even humans can take it, but you only have a smidge of it. " Hogun walked over to where the bag was and pulled out the purple.

"You make tea like normal then sprinkle some petals into it. But only one leaf. It can crack a punch. Just inhaling it will relax someone. It's a calming sedative. Even just sniffing it like it is can make you drowsy." Hogun showed the plant to Tony. "It won't harm the children but I would scan it with Jarvis just in case as it did come from Kurse " Hogun was holding the stem of the plant.

"There is an identical plant that looks very much like this it's lethal and people often mistake it. I would run it by Loki first since that's the father of the child. He might know more about it then I do." Hogun shrugged. "If you're suffering with a lot of mental stress, it's good to have in the room."

"Hey I felt them move. "Steve was fascinated sometimes he felt like he missed out being an Alpha male seeing the Omega's blessed with the connection with the unborn children. "Don't you ever get worried about experiencing on your own? I suppose you have those around you to support you. " Steve smiled as he felt them kick. "I can tell where they get their spirit from. "

"I do envy you though." Being able to have a family without anyone dictating you and judging you because you are doing it unconventional way. "Thank you for sharing that with me. I never felt a child kick before." Steve said softly.

[Tachi]

"Good or bad thing that this one has a brain." To be determined. Tony was tempted by the wine. No one told him 'no' often and he did like his alcohol. It probably wasn't a good idea, but then when did he not try bad ideas? He contemplated it, but right now his focus was elsewhere. "We'll have to hide the wine regardless. It's a temptation and we can't have Kurse wanting to break it out." They'd just have to say they drank it right away. In commiseration over him coming.

The plants he didn't care about since none of them were dangerous. They were Thor's gifts, really. He could decide what to do with them. At least, until Hogan pointed on out. He took a look at it, but there was a slight nervous energy to it. "I uh, don't like to be handed things." Really, it was unknown/untrusted people touching him and getting close that triggered things for him. It just extended from the previous 'don't accept things because they could be a summons/etc.'. Now it was a full blown Issue with him.

"Wait, lethal? Why would you give me this? My first instinct is to touch it. I'm very touchy. Actually, put that down and no one touch it. You go wash your hands. J?" This was true. As an engineer he was very hands on, even if he did have a people issue. Walking away from that he went and put on gloves and then retrieved a sample kit from Bruce's side of the labs. Meanwhile Jarvis directed Hogan towards one of the disinfecting stations meant for things like chemical spills and instructed him on the correct hand washing procedure to insure no residue was on him.

Tony, meanwhile, took a leaf off the plant using the kit and then bagged the plant, sealing it tight. He swore, if this guy tried to sneak in a deadly plant he'd repulsor blast him on principal. And then he'd let Loki stab him and say it was an accident. Keeping it contained in a covered petrie dish, Tony took it over to the science labs. "Brucie-Bear, you're better at this side of things. Better check and make sure this isn't the poisonous version." If it was, Hulk might come bursting out to deal with the threat if Bruce got poisoned or worse. Either way, he wouldn't let his other half die. Tony, on the other hand, would just die.

--

"I have my warrior brothers," not by blood but by blood spilled together, "and my family. It's not worth it to settle down with someone who's not right, even if it does get lonely sometimes." He smiled over the thought of his babes. "All Asgardians are born with a warrior's spirit. Some more than most."

Chuckling, he said, "I'd be happy to let them kick you if I'd get a break from it. I think it's punishment for all the moving around." They were excited because of the endorphins he was pumping. "I wouldn't mind getting used to it." The sex, maybe everything else as well.

[Silver_Lady]

Bruce was already on it, he was having his gloves on as he noted Tony's reaction he was used to how to handle Tony. Since they both had issues Bruce never questioned it since he had more than enough problems to off-load. He took the sample that Tony had taken he had taken the entire plant as well just to be on the safe side. Without having the other plant to compare it to, he just had to go by what Hogun had said.

He might be more of his expert in this field but he didn't know Asguardian plants as well as he did at Earth. Why would Kurse send a calming-scent plan?  How much did Vanrad had spoke. Bruce wiggled his nose at it and taken to his side of the lab and comparing leaves.

"My gut feeling says this is the calming one, I doubt that Kurse would be dumb enough to bring in a deadly plant in but something feels off about this... I'd recommend take it to Loki just to be on the safe side. Perhaps he can test it? right now I feel a bit calm, the more you're around the plant the more it's effective." The aroma was almost like Lavender.  "It seems to be safe Tony."  To test it out he had got one of the drone robots to make him a cup of tea. He started with a smaller dosage of it.  He sniffed it first and rubbed the eyes since it had a calming affect. "I'd definitely let Loki test it first before Thor."
--

"I can't imagine why you would be moving around so much." Steve smirked confidently enjoying the touch of the babies kicking him.  He could feel strong kicks. "Do you know what gender's your having?" He asked not knowing if it was a private question or not.  "I hope I wasn't too rough with you I was cautious trying not to hurt the babies. Do you have names for any of them?" Steve knew he was asking a lot of personal questions. For a male that enjoyed getting pregnant, he must have a lot of names before he ran out of them. Was it during the pregnancy stages or was it afterwards that the name came to them? The entire thing seemed.... a beautiful experience.
--

It was the next day and Thor was at the training ground the fight that Loki had promised that they'd have he had been itching to spar for a while but their was overly concerns about it. He had napped and ate and followed direct orders from Loki. Even now he didn't feel at his best.

"Ah Loki, when this is done there's something I want to run by you first before you head back to the floor.  Me and Tony have to show you something that might benefit Thor. Been as you're the parent I thought it would be good to run it by you first." Bruce finally managed to catch up with Loki they had been so busy with everything else.

"Are you sure you want to do this Thor?" Fandral asked he was hoping Thor would be having second thoughts. "You sure this will work, Tony?" He asked.

Thor was twiddling the hammer with it's handle feeling it's weight in his palm like it weighed nothing. Everyone was seated outside where they wouldn't get in the way of them sparring. Thor enjoyed the prospect of feeling his warrior's side getting some action.

"Hey, how's it did go with Captain?" Nat asked Volstagg. She was sat next to him Captain was over by the far side on standby in case he needed to interfere but he doubted that Loki would do anything that would harm the pregnant omega.

[Tachi]

There were plenty of poisonous plants on Earth and general markers and indicators that a plant was poisonous or deadly. Since things weren't that different between their realms, it shouldn't be that hard to determine if it was deadly or not using the same scientific means. "That was going to happen regardless. I'm not letting it out of the bag until it's scientifically and magically okayed." Tony safely disposed of the gloves and rubbed his face. He hadn't thought a week ago that he'd be adding 'magically' to everything.

"Run it through the gambit anyway. It might match up with something. I'd rather not get taken in by a 'false sense of security'. Isn't that his method?" Sounds exactly what they'd warned them about. "Maybe there's something attached to it for omegas." Tony didn't exactly want to volunteer himself to test that out. He was still working on the other projects but eyed Bruce with a frown, not liking that he just went and tried it, even if he had the Hulk.

Meanwhile DUM-E delivered cups of coffee to Hogun and Frandal. "Be careful with that." He said to Bruce. "I don't trust him."

--

The Asgardian rolled his eyes at him, choosing to ignore that and answer his  question instead. "A boy and a girl." Steve was overly cautious, but he supposed he preferred that to a careless Alpha. The man would probably settle down after a while. "You didn't knee me in the stomach, so it's fine. I'm thinking Fell and Ragnhild for these two." He shifted to a more comfortable position. He'd definitely want a shower before bed, but he didn't mind the company, nor a few more rounds if that were to happen.

--

Loki spent the night comforting Thor and finishing up his reading. Before he'd let them leave the next day he had his mate lay out so he could cast the spells on on him, making sure they were working properly. It was followed by another plate of breakfast he prepared and ate with him, sat down and obviously prepared not to move until Thor did the same. He was rewarded with a slow kiss and promise fulfilled as they got ready and headed with the others to the compound.

Tony had the equipment made and as ready as it could be. Given that so many people were going, Tony just packed up the quinjet and took that, taking Mark 47 with them just in case. He doubted they'd need it but he liked having it on hand.  The Compound training ground was cleared out, the staff fully warned that there'd be Gods duking it out with full lightning show. Jarvis piloted the suit and set up the lightning rod outside of the grounds to catch any stray bolts while a few drones came in, Tony going over to Thor.

"Okay, I'm going to need you to lose the shirt." He said, setting the equipment down and in front of him and getting it ready. "This stuff has to go all over you."

Loki looked at Tony for a moment, but he didn't view him as a threat to his mate, so it didn't bother him to let him continue. Instead he looked to Banner, eyes turning calculating as he thought about what he might be referring to and why he was being secretive about it. "Very well."  He was definitely going to oversee anything before it got to Thor.

"I'm 95% certain. As certain as I can be without knowing the maximum output of Thor's electrical charge." As soon as he had access, he was attaching the sticky pads that had the sensors and monitoring equipment. A bracelet went around his wrist to monitor his health and vitals. "Don't worry, this one comes off." He winked. There was a large sticky pad he put over his lower stomach. "No guarantee, but we'll try to pick up any readings from the kid or kids."


At the benches, Volstagg was long since cleaned up, well rested, and fed. The benches weren't all that comfortable but he'd dealt with far worse and leaned back against the seat behind him, spreading out a bit to stretch out his back. Looking over to his companion, he chuckled. "As if you can't tell already. Your eyes are sharper than most--don't think I don't see that." He teased. "It was a lovely and productive night." To say the least.

[Silver_Lady]

Thor raised his eyebrow at the male but shrugged he wasn't at least bit shy but he was when it came to exposing his young. Even if he wasn't showing he didn't realise how conscious he was. He gave a slight growl when Tony went near the lower part but since Loki gave the all clear, he tried to restrain himself and let it happen. He wasn't overly fond if it wasn't Loki touching his stomach it was rather sensitive and had babies to protect.

It would be interesting if they got any readings at all, everything was linked to Thor. Putting his shirt back on when the pads were on his chest. Tony could monitor everything. He was grateful that he slept and ate when Loki told him to. He was wondering if his brother would play any dirty tricks it's been a while since they sparred properly. "Are you really that concerned?" Thor asked Tony, when he mentioned about the bracelet coming on him, he flinched a little because of precious experience with his current bracelet.

Natasha smirked at the other "I don't tend to miss the subtilities, Cap seemed a lot less aggravated and you seem happier. I'm taking it you took control? Cap seems to babble a lot and can talk your ear of if you're not careful." Natasha smiled. Watching the boys get things ready. The audience were at the safe distance created by Tony and Bruce to make sure that any lightening in case the boys got carried away.

Thor glanced towards Loki "Are you ready? not to late to back down you know." Thor was getting Mjölnir ready. He started with a slow spin and gradually started getting quicker the lightening around him started to react. Just in case Loki didn't give him time. Unfortunately with being brothers, mates, knowing each other as well as they did, he also knew that Loki had the tendency to play sneaky so he was going to always remain one step ahead.

Naturally, Thor had lowered his stance as the lightening came down to hit Mjölnir to charge her up. His eyes light up allowing all power to flow through him. He didn't know how much energy he had so he had to make every second hit. "Are you ready now brother?" Thor flashed a smile he was going to enjoy this sparring match, but he also had a hint of worry about him. His other hand remained guarding.

"Are we good to go Tony?" Thor asked the metal man.

"I really wish they didn't have to do this but I suppose it's better then an real fight with a villain." Natasha whispered to Volstagg. "Do they know when to quit?" She asked in concerned since Volstagg had more experience.

[Tachi]

The genius did pause when he was growled at, glancing up and soothing, "This one's to make sure the babies are alright and nothing happens to them." Loki 'd look over at the growl as well to see what Tony was doing and while his instinct was to do the same, he knew it was only to help and bit down on it, instead giving Thor a short, soft reassuring rumble. Either way it allowed Tony to finish up, being careful around his stomach. Tony lifted up on the stretchy band of the bracelet to show that it wasn't staying on for good.

"We're just taking the opportunity to collect all the data we can. If we can prove why it's a bad idea to go around fighting, then points for us. You know us, though, me and Bruce, we like our numbers." He patted Thor on the arm. "Don't overdo it, alright? We'll never hear the end of it from Loki and I'll have to figure out how to electro-proof everything..." Tony was teasing him, grinning, trying to lighten the mood.

"Good luck."  He said to both of them and then got into Mark 47. Then even if he got hit it'd only power him up and he could act as a diversion if lightning got out of control. Plus it let him keep track of the readings in real time. He flew to the outside of thew ring to watch, the drones on all sides.

A dull look was given to Thor by Loki. "Normal rules, brother?" Where they quit when one conceded, was unconscious, couldn't continue, or too stubborn to admit defeat?  None the less, he was getting ready, gaze calculative. There were many options that were cut off to him now, but not all of them. There was also...something he hadn't used before. Normally he'd never...but it was the least likely to do any real damage to Thor.

The crystal daggers appeared in his hands, shining a clear amethyst.

--

Volstagg laughed at the very true statement. "There's a few ways to shut him up, if you catch my drift. He takes direction rather well." And Volstagg was not shy about telling Steve exactly what he wanted him to do and when. A quick learner too, which was always important.

"Those two...sometimes not, but I don't think Loki will hurt his children. He'll find a way to wear Thor out." Or something similar.

--

"Alright, go!" Tony shouted once he was sure everyone else was clear and safe.

The temperature dropped immediately and Loki rapidly changed turned blue. Frost formed at his feet and spread, ice erupting from the ground to envelop Thor's legs and encase his lower half and arms in ice. Loki avoided his midsection and where their children were, mindful of Thor's core temperature. The daggers were raised, ready to dart in for an attack or take a bolt of lightning.

[Silver_Lady]

Bruce was observing the readings as long as well with Tony in case both either miss anything but of course Thor's heart rate went up. He felt the encased of the ice wrapping around his leg like a python, that was so like Loki. He felt the cold but he was engrossed with the fighting.

He felt drained already summoning all that lightening and thunder, but he refused to show it no matter how hard Loki made it. He felt his joints snared by the ice which a normal human wouldn't be able to withstand a sense of panic it took every strength out of him to break out the ice. He was grateful that Loki had stopped at his midsection. He didn't doubt for a second that Loki would harm there children. Eventually after a swung of Mjölnir, Thor's aim was off. Even though he handled the weapon for years his accuracy was different. That would've been a perfect aim but he was just a millimetre away from getting Loki. A singed burnt mark of sheer power the surface was burnt just an inch away to where Loki was standing.

Everything was a lot harder to 'focus' and short supplied. If this was only when he was a few weeks pregnant during the high-intense pressure his mind was unable to focus. But Thor was not going to give up.

Fandral was watching "This is madness doing this." He whispered to Volstagg who was clearly concerned Thor never missed his aim especially when it was an honest sparring fight.  " Fandral was observing the way Thor was fighting. He went over to where Tony was.

"Thor's fighting differently, it's off key." No doubt Tony had already spotted it but he didn't know how much experience Tony had watching the God's fight. The more times he had used his thunder the more tired he was. Normally within seconds Thor had demonstrated who was more powerful, using the Mjölnir to get Loki to yield but this time was different.

Using the bolt of Lightening he thought he'd try that throwing everything he could possibly at Loki. Thor felt dizzy his senses weren't cooperating right. He was purely working on instinct.

"Tony " Bruce showed concerned for Thor. He refused to give up at this point he was a warrior dammit so why wasn't his body functioning properly as it should? Thor didn't understand. Loki wasn't a threat this was an innocent sparring match to gather data. But the thought of becoming winded this early brought the reality of how much everything was affected.

He through another thunder-bolt this time more powerful. Thor's levels were going down. One of his legs were shaking not because from the cold of the Frost's giant's power from earlier.

"Maybe I should do something." Hogun spoke with concern. So far the amount of thunder and lightening wasn't doing any harm to the kids but it was Thor he was more concerned about.

[Tachi]

The swing was easy to dodge, not even needing to use his daggers for this one. That wasn't like Thor. Usually he'd come out of this singed, at the very least, especially near the start of the match. Thor was still exhausted though, his aim was off, his strength was waning, and this was taking a tole on him. Loki was fast as it was, usually using his speed to outwit Thor, and now it was just concerning how he was dodging him.

"Aye, he shouldn't be fighting." Volstagg replied, concerned. Thor obviously hadn't recovered. He was no where near where he was usually at.

Tony wasn't too happy about the vitals he was seeing. "You're telling me. His vitals are already dropping. He'd getting winded just from this." During the battle of New York he'd lasted way longer.

"Brother..." Loki didn't care what the others saying or thinking. "This is enough." The more he hurt himself the more harmful it was to their children. With concentration he feinted an attack for Thor's left side while freezing his right to Mjolnir, he soon spun though and melted the ice most of the way, his kick breaking it the rest, sending Mjolnir flying from Thor's numb hand. Loki froze the hammer to the ground in a large block of ice and then let the enchantment take back over, turning him pale again.

"Yeah," Tony said. "Looks like Loki's thinking the same thing." Thank fuck.

The daggers disappeared and Loki took the sides of Thor's face once he was certain his touch wouldn't harm him. "Enough, Mate." He pressed their foreheads together and then brought him into a light kiss, bringing him into his arms to support his shaking body and start to warm him up. Being the God of fire and ice, he sent the former slowly through Thor, raising his body temperature back up.

"Alright, that's a wrap. I'll see if Loki needs help. Cap, he already growled at me, you'd better not go over there." An Alpha might set them both off. They sort of trusted him. "J, compile all that data and gather up the equipment." He said, stepping out of the suit.

"Right away, Sir. As far as the sensors can tell, the children are doing just fine."

Mark 47 took off with Tony staring at it for a moment before he made the slow approach to Thor and Loki. "Hey there, everything okay? Just so you know, Jarvis says it's twins. So you know, congratulations. Everything seems to be okay." There was a bit of an aborted growl from Loki but it looked like he was simply on edge from the state Thor was in.

[Silver_Lady]

Thor didn't understand what was wrong, he fort before just fine. Of course he knew why his A game wasn't because he was pregnant but he never fort this badly before. He felt the sudden warmth that slowly made his body hotter, which he was grateful for. Normally the temperatures didn't bother him but his body couldn't handle it, it worried him in-fairness he hadn't felt like this being vulnerable. But if he felt this bad early on... how was he going to surpass his father during the later stages of his pregnancy?

"I'm.. not done." Thor sluggishly said as his body was beginning. He tried to summon the hammer during the large crack of the ice that Loki made, but didn't budge. Thor gave up as he was seeking away out of this mess to prove to Loki that he was still capable of fighting. When Tony came over Thor eyes gazed at the male. "I can still do it. Just let me, get my breath back." Thor was stubborn. He hated the idea of given up even though his body was getting heavier in Loki's arms. The last bit of news that he was pregnant with twins he was more than happy but his mind couldn't process it.

He finally passed out in Loki's arm. Bruce remained a little bit away knowing that Thor was out for the count and Loki was hyper-sensitive because of the state of his mate.  Bruce examined Thor from a far to ensure that everything was okay. Steve made his way out of the training room simply because he didn't want to trigger Loki.

Fandral came a bit closer brushing Thor's hair out of his face being a friend of Thor he wasn't overly worried about Loki's reaction but still mindful. "You need any help Loki? Trust me I have no interest in Thor he's a friend more like a brother but my services are for you as well." Meaning if Loki needed anything he just proven that he'd do anything to protect his family, which made Fandral change his opinion on him.

"Thank you for stopping the match, when I saw his aim was off I knew it was going to fold fast." Fandral frowned he didn't like doubting his friend but carrying twins is a  big job. "Are you sure they're carrying/expecting twins? congrats if that's the case." He looked to Tony.

"Something you should know... Loki. Not sure if Tony or Bruce told you but we had a visitor.. It was short and brief but we believe that Kurse had paid a visit and left a gift bag. We didn't want to tell Thor when he was in this state."

"We found some a plant based herb from Asguardian, we didn't know if it will help Thor ease and calm him down when he's agitated. I tried it and felt calm nothing seemed to be harmful in it. "Bruce added his own piece but staying well back. Fandral was just their for for and for Loki he had no interest in either. He was their to protect Tony if need be.

"I'm glad that's over, at least now we have a stopping point." Natasha spoke to Volstagg. "What's that Kurse came over?" Natasha over hearing Bruce mention along with Fandral.

"Yes but it was only brief." Bruce added staring at the screen he still couldn't believe that Jarvis picked up on the two signals from the children.
 

[Tachi]

"Concede, Love." Loki encouraged but didn't expect Thor to follow through on. Thor had always been a sore loser. When it came to brawn he was nearly unbeatable most of the time, but at games of intellect it was a different matter. Often his reaction to losing was to smash something with his hammer or likewise throw a fit. It'd always been this way and it hadn't changed. This time it took passing out in his arms and that triggered both alarm and all of his protective instincts.

Inhaling his scent, he caught the exhaustion, hunger from using all of his energy, and vulnerability on top of his pregnancy and stress. Shifting his mate, he knelt slightly in order to pick him up, cradling him in his arms. It didn't leave him readily able to protect him but Loki wasn't going to carry him any other way and put pressure on his stomach.

"Let me help get him comfortable." Tony offered, waiting for Loki to acknowledge him by meeting his eyes before approaching the rest of the way and carefully arranging the God's arms.

Loki growled at Frandal at first, not really seeing him as competition, just not wanting to have people around Thor right now. Tony backed off and gave them some space. A small huff of amusement left him at what he said. "I happen to be fucking my brother." He stated with humor, not threatened but pointing out how that reassurance didn't work. Tony laughed, hearing this, and Loki smirked slightly, despite the stress, and gave Frandal a small nod. An acknowledgement of the things unsaid.

When asked about the babies, Tony replied, "Hey, my technology is awesome. I'll double check the data when we get back and take some scans, but most likely yes. He already has your anatomy models in his system to compare it to as well as a typical human omega's. Jarvis can figure out the rest."

Loki turned around, wanting to get Thor home so he could rest. Twins. That was something he wanted to celebrate with Thor. Frandal kept going though, and another short growl escaped him at the thought of Kurse coming and bothering his mate now. "I don't trust anything that comes from Kurse."

"Exactly my thinking." Tony agreed. "Which is why I quarantined the plant and had Bruce run tests on it, only he decided to drink it. Still don't trust it until you run your magic test on it or whatever it is you do."

Volstagg got up and out of the stands by now, but he wasn't set on approaching the two Gods. Not right now, they were crowded enough. "Aye." He nodded to Natasha and then called out to the others, "Come on, those two need to rest! There's time for questions and tests later."

Loki agreed and shifted Thor's weight for a moment, concentrating on the block of ice he'd left, melting it until Mjolnir was left. He didn't bother with the hammer--Thor could summon it later--and headed out of the place back to the quinjet. He didn't like being in an unknown place with all of these 'agents' around. With irritation, he created an illusion, when they walked out the door, Thor was no longer in his arms but walking beside him, talking boisterously about the spar they'd just had and how he 'hadn't lost any strength at all'. Loki appeared to be simply walking beside him.

[Silver_Lady]

Thor was resting within the arm's of Loki it was the brush of wind that caught his attention he realised he was outside. He nestled in closer to Loki's chest before falling. "Why couldn't I beat you?" Thor murmured softly as if he was trying to contemplate it. He never felt this strained before. He knew that he was pregnant, but that shouldn't make him this energy-drained.  It felt like the entire system was completely knocked out of him.

He gazed at his brother. "Did I hear Tony right about saying twins?" he asked shyly which wasn't something that Thor was. He was anything BUT shy. The tone suggested happiness, contentment if it was baby-related. He wasn't the type to get sick. So all of this was new to him. At least he knew that fighting a option. He honestly felt embarrassed that he couldn't hold his own. Normally he wouldn't have a trouble aiming his thunder, partially he blamed himself for caring for Loki maybe he instinctively missed on purpose?  He didn't know.

Kurse was observing the entire interactions between Thor and Loki, something felt 'off' with this picture as he watched the pair interact he hadn't seen the said fight because he had just got here. He stepped towards Loki and revealed himself, he had taken the cape/ hood of. "Ah Prince Thor it's a pleasure to be in your prescience as for you prince Loki."  he had waited until the pair were out of Stark's tower unaware that Thor was actually sleeping in his arms.

"I wondered if I could possibly have a minute alone with Thor? I am sorry I didn't get a chance to introduce myself properly last time. "It won't be long,  I am visiting Miguard and I'm sure that King Odin had explained my reasonings for being here." Kurse bowed a little but given distance.

Thor was sleeping against Loki's chest,  just enjoying being close to Loki, listening to the very heart- beat that relaxed him.
-

"So we're safe to say that Thor is on hiatus?" Natasha asked Tony. "I never seen him that Banged up, I know Loki is strong but Loki had barely touched him. Should one of us escort the Gods? " Natasha was offering herself, since Loki was carrying Thor. But then again Loki could always use some clone of
his.

"I'm concerned with how that fight went." Bruce sighed heavily, "The babies didn't respond to Thor using the thunder or ligthening but it seems to have devastating effect on his body, the after-math. I'm glad he did a test run with Loki rather than try and take the crown."
--

Captain America had been outside given the God's space when he saw a strange guy walking up to Loki and Thor who seemed to be chatting away unable to see past Loki's illusion. He had walked up to Loki as he walking by. "Woah you're looking better Thor. That was some match, I can't believe you recovered so quickly." Cap smiled.

"Is their trouble here?" Cap asked Kurse.

"No trouble at all, I was just making my rounds. I was exploring Miguard. And following the kings orders." A little 'glow' went from his eyes to Loki.

[Tachi]

Softly, Loki replied, his illusion speaking no words, "Let's discuss this later, brother." After he'd rested. He looked down while his illusion kept looking forward, rolling his eyes at something the other Thor said. "Yes, twins. Hush now and rest." It wasn't hurried, but soothing, though it turned out to be just in time as he noticed an intruder and bit down on a growl. It didn't make sense with the illusion he had up and he held it strong.

"Kurse." Thor Illusion greeted. "I can't say we were expecting you, especially way out here."

"How entirely inconvenient." Loki drawled, an unimpressed look given to the man whom he wanted no where near his mate.

Tony was getting alerts on the intruder and stepping out the door to see what the hell was going on, Mark 47 landing nearby. "This is the next suitor? Should I call off the attack?" The suit raised its arm to demonstrate, Jarvis obviously willing to play along and Thor-Illusion made a 'peace' motion, fake-Mjolnir in his hand.

"There's no need for that, Stark. I can handle this myself."

Tony's eyes flickered to Loki, knowing Thor had just been unconscious in his arms, and didn't say a thing about it. He just backed off and let him handle it. Not without his two cents though. "Don't think you can buy a billionaire over with flora and a gong." He said point a finger at Kurse. "We're watching you, and when I say we I mean, me, the the suit, and everyone here." He did the 'watching you' gesture, pointing to his eyes and then Kurse's, before continuing on to the quinjet. Mark 47 put down its arm and followed after its master.

On his way off he spoke to Natasha, quietly, "Yeah, definitely off the roster. Right now I don't think Loki wants anyone touching him. He's carried Thor around before so he'll probably be fine. He's in a mood right now anyway. Better to not touch him." Either of them, but especially Thor.

"I imagine his body is busy trying to heal all the damage he did to it and now it's busy making babies. Holding the power of lightning; it just couldn't handle it right now. He's got to let himself recover." At this point he'd support Loki tying him to the bed.

Thor-Illusion smiled, "I'm afraid our last guest left a rather bad impression on everyone! Thank you for the gifts, they were very thoughtful." Cap had appeared and Thor-illusion laughed boisterously, clapping Cap on the shoulder, except there was no weight to it. Loki didn't care if he knew it was an illusion. "A little sparring match isn't enough to keep me down!"

"Your 'rounds'. And what exactly do those entail?" Loki inquired. If he thought idle threats would stop him, he was dead wrong. He wouldn't tolerate this 'I'll tattle to Odin about every little thing you do' behavior either.

"Loki." Thor-Illusion warned. "Captain, no problem here." Looking to Kurse he said, "We do not have much time. We were in the middle of training exercises for the Avengers. You know important that can be! Loki has a lot to catch up on."

"Perhaps if you'd scheduled an appointment like a normal, considerate being--"

There was a look from Thor-Illusion before he looked back to Kurse apologetically. "Yes, anyway, let's keep this quick." He nodded to a distance away and started walking with Kurse. Loki remained there with the real Thor and Steve.

"Try not to break my concentration." He whispered when they were out of earshot. Illusion-Thor was idly twirling Mjolnir between them, keeping a good distance. Loki could create the illusion of him sparking if Kurse attempted to touch him. Before he touched, to keep him at bay. He could hear everything his illusion was hearing, everything it was seeing.

[Silver_Lady]

Kurse realised he wasn't welcomed at Miguard, only an idiot wouldn't get the threat coming of off Loki and Thor was...being well Thor. "Ah-I know why you're displeased to see me. Vanrad had made an what you Miguard said an ass of himself, I understand that. I come no ill-will just my duty as my role as King Odin of Asguard sent me."

"My mission is to court Thor. The gift arrangement was to alert you that I was here. I know Thor and Loki, cannot be at Asguard right now due to a certain issue so I thought I bring some Asguardian back. I wasn't trying to deceive you or impress you." Kurse tried to politely said his body was disarmed and engaged with only the truth. That's one thing that Vanrad had over stepped and became demanding and entitled. "I have seen the footage."

The real Thor woke up in a haze when he heard and felt Lokis' tension raised every thing made sense now that they were quarter of a way bonded. Thor leaned into Loki's chest as if he was trying to comfort him. "Should I step out?" Thor asked. "He's my trouble brother, let me deal with him." Thor wasn't in princely state to lie to Kurse. "He'd catch on." Thor was worried finally clued in on why Loki was being tense.

Through the other side he saw the illusion he saw Tony who was being at Loki's aid which he smiled at someone protecting his brother. It felt genuinely nice  Thor couldn't keep his eyes open but his body was highly alert. "You want me to call Mjölnir?" He asked he figured.

Kurse looked at Thor as if he was trying to find out what was up. "Whether you like it or not, I'm afraid that is up to Prince Thor. If you want I can put it into a good word with the king and perhaps create distance." Meaning 'Loki' was in the way of things.

Kurse was aware of Loki's powers but it seemed real. "Violence isn't really necessary, I was merely stating my prescience. If you wish to investigate me or search me for anything hostile feel free. I am not threat to Prince Thor, I'm merely doing my duty as a suiter which I am understanding that Thor had agreed with his father." Oh he was well aware how protective Loki was but he didn't understand how he was THIS protective.

"You must be Earth's representatives, head of the Avengers if I'm told." He directed his attention to Tony for a second. " 

Steve felt Thor's arm but nothing was their he looked at Loki and figured it out but played along when he glanced towards Tony.

"How does one do that?" He looked to Tony assuming the other had the control in that department. "I'm sorry for over stepping." Kurse was being overly apologetically trying to get over the other's nature. He was aware that he was not overly fond of. He smiled and bowed his head their was no sense in being defensive and wipe out the Miguard race or in that entitled threat that Vanrad had made. Otherwise that will be a very bad move. It wouldn't end pretty.

The talk was mainly discussing arrangements for the meeting. A proper meeting scheduled. When the two were laughing, like it was a normal conversation  Kurse was being like an Alpha male around the illusion Thor. But Thor being illusion Thor was oblivious to it. But everyone could see from a distance what manners that Kurse had it was subtle but the controlling side was their. He almost forced his back towards the others.

The Real Thor rested against Loki's embrace even though he was trying to observe the conversation happening between Loki and the illusion of him, Thor looked at Loki and his eyes locked on to Tony. "Tony don't get your self in to trouble I'm sorry I'm not in a fit state to fight." Thor murmured softly when they were out of ear shot. He coughed slightly. He felt bad that people were protecting him.

"Honestly I can do it." Thor muttered speaking to Tony through the illusion loud enough for him to hear.
-
Meanwhile Kurse had returned to the Avengers. " I will be speaking to him properly at the tower I believe he finds that the safest. Ideally, I'd like to have the meeting private, for the first half then you're welcome to Join..Loki." He only said that part because he knew that Loki intervene. "Would that be an issue?" he aske. His tone suggested a tug at Loki's reaction as if he was seeking to see if Loki was mated or had mated feelings. He felt and smelt something differently about Loki.

"For now I will leave, I'm sorry for the intrusion, I'm quite shy you see your tower is quite intimidating I hadn't seen anything like it before. I heard it was tall, from Vanrad but he didn't tell me how high-inadvanced techonlogy I would like a moment of your time talking about Jarvis was it?"  Kurse changed the subject to Tony.

"I'm quite a scientist at Asguard more than a warrior these days so I was fascinated with how far Miguard Techonlogy has grown. When you sent that box over I was deeply fascinated Odin didn't know how to use it until I showed him. Farewell for now." Kurse smiled towards Thor almost like 'shoving' Loki out of the picture or trying to at least... His moves were quietly calculating.

Kurse disappeared and there was no sense  or trace of Kurse's energy.

"Is that what I think it is?" Cap was the first to break the silence. He asked Loki indicating the Fake Thor.

When Thor kept an eye on Kurse the minute he felt his prescience go Thor relaxed into the embrace. "Shall I use Mjölnir to get us home?" He asked not having the energy to deal with Kurse. He was weary and not in control of his own actions their was no telling if he could actually do that in the state where was in. "Tony, I know this is asking a lot but I think Kurse is trying to befriend with you, if you remain hostile and threatening I fear he will get the wrong idea and get impatient and get more...vocal about what he's truly capable of. I'm grateful for your protection Tony." Thor was struggling to stay awake.

"But for now, just play along all of the Avengers have to be one step ahead." Thor suggested. "He's playing his cards we shall play ours." Thor gradually fell back to sleep against Loki's chest. He was already panicking about Kurse being in Migurd. At the end of the day he was like an entitled child who didn't get what he wanted so he created ways to get what he wanted and that's what Thor feared the most.


 

[Tachi]

The real Thor was actually starting to become quite annoying. This is why he didn't tend to include him in his illusions. "Silence." He whispered. A slight shake of his head, just enough for Thor to see, to indicate that it'd be a bad idea for Mjolnir to come flying in whilst the Thor illusion was holding the fake one. Go back to sleep, Loki thought. A glance down showed him Thor wasn't even looking. "No." He whispered again, hoping that'd be the end of it. "Are you attempting to buy me off with asked favors of Odin? You'll have to do far better than that." Even without his feelings for Thor, he was not so easily won over.

"Something like that." Tony responded when Kurse spoke to him. More like he was the Avengers benefactor and liked being in charge so he took lead when he wasn't fighting over it with Steve. "Do what? You know what? Never mind." He didn't really care. Everything for the quinjet got ready while the two were talking and Volstagg decided it was best he stay out of any disputes by staying on board for now. Tony headed back though to check up on Loki.

He startled a bit, then letting out a breath, glancing at Kurse to make sure he hadn't notice. "Jeez, I thought you were asleep. You know we can't see you, right?" He kept his voice down enough that it wouldn't be discernable over a distance. "I gift wrapped the last one for your father and all I got was 'Tony Spark'. I think I'm good." He wasn't really concerned about the warning he'd issued. It was justified after the last one. "Everyone knows you're not weak. Now let Loki finish showing off." Because really, this was kind of cool. Could he do this for his business meetings?

When Kurse and Thor-Illusion returned, Loki and Tony didn't believe most of the things he said. Loki narrowed his eyes when he was mentioned but kept himself calm, thinking of Tony instead of Thor, whom he had no claim to. Honestly it was one of the reasons he was sticking near Steve even though he didn't want him near the real Thor. Steve still had the lingering scent of sex and omega on him. Stronger than Loki did and it was enough to confuse the senses with his illusions going, which held their own scents, otherwise they wouldn't be nearly as effective. "My issue would be your disgusting courting habits and how you'd like to pretend we aren't aware of them. Do try to think of a good excuse for yourself."

"Loki." Thor-Illusion scolded, frowning at him, but also looked like he couldn't entirely disagree.

"If I'm bound to you, I shouldn't have to put up with this drivel."

Tony shook his head, Loki was...arguing with himself pretty good there. "Okay, let's set aside for now..."

"Yes, let's." Thor-Illusion agreed. "My apologies, Kurse. It has been a trying week."

Thank fuck he was leaving. Tony wanted to roll his eyes at the flattery. Okay, he had a huge ego, but this was a little on the edge of condescending rather than flattering. He knew Asgardian technology was more advanced. Maybe they didn't have Jarvis, but they had a lot of other advanced things. Keep your enemies close, though. "I'll see if I can spare a moment or two." Odin couldn't figure out how to push a button? He highly doubted that. They all watched and waited for him to leave. It wasn't by the rainbow bridge. "I don't like that. J, send out the drones. Thermal sweep, ultraviolet, everything."

Loki wasn't fond of it either. There were few ways to travel between realms on ones own and even few upon will. "I haven't a clue what you mean." He said to Steve, headed for the quinjet, not ready to relax yet. At the same time he rolled his eyes and bitched at Thor, "Honestly, can you keep yourself from trying to use your abilities for a single day? We're riding in that jet and you are resting."

The drones were doing sweeps of the area but Tony didn't need to stick around or have them come with them, so he was heading to the jet too, Thor-Illusion walking with them. "Yeah, I'm getting the picture. 'Keep your enemies close' and all that." At least he got the memo not to touch him. "You're getting better at those analogies."

"He's asleep again." Loki stated, entering the jet where everyone else was. After everyone was inside and the door shut, Loki cancelled the illusion, showing that Thor was still in his arms. He went about setting him up in a seat before securing himself. Tony headed up to pilot the jet if Nat wasn't already up there.

It didn't take long to get back to the Tower by jet. About fifteen minutes given its speed. Tony was ignoring a call from Fury about what'd just happened, calling out to Nat. "Tell eyepatch I'm not in!" A complete lie that everyone would know about. "Loki, when you get a minute, that plant."

The ravenette glanced at him and nodded, his priority right now being Thor. He unbuckled and picked him up again, taking him down to their floor. With magic he had him in his boxers, tucked into bed. Loki thought for a moment and then removed his shirt, leaving it right next to his head and within reach so his scent would stay there. "Jarvis, tell me the moment he wakes." Upon the AI's confirmation, he retrieved another shirt and then went back to meet Tony in the labs. He was carrying the sensors and recording equipment.

Volstagg this time had gone with Tony, wanting to see what they were on about. He also wanted to see this staff they were supposed to take back with them, but first these gifts from Kurse. He looked through them but didn't find anything off.

[Silver_Lady]

The trip back and being transported back into bed was an entire blur to Thor. The male sank into a deep sleep now that he was protected by Pillows that were covered in Loki's Scent. He didn't know what to do about Kurse. Of course he didn't expect himself to trust Kurse, but this one was more intelligent then Vanrad was harmless that Thor could manipulate and control, Kurse prayed on the ego of other's manipulated them without them even realising it, but unfortunately for Kurse. Loki was good at detecting mind over matter.

Fandral and Hogun followed Volstagg into where Kurse's gifts were and the said staff. The fact that the humans occupied it was a worrying thing. The staff was behaving normally. He tilted his head and stroked his chin. "I don't think it's wise to let Thor and Kurse alone, something tells me he's tricky." Fandral broke the silence as Volstagg was going through Kurse's gifts.

"Is their away that Loki could just step up and be the third suiter? typically First?" A slight grin added to his face but also equal seriousness to his tone. He didn't want Kurse to be alone with a pregnant male at the best of times. Meeting eyes with Loki within the lab's as well but given the males space.

"The entire point was to get Thor to be pregnant right? to be his true omega-self. So...you've done it really haven't you?" Fandral knew he was probably commenting on things that were already mentioned or even thought about he was just showing concerns.

"At least we can all agree that Vanrad was easier compared to this guy my guess he's learnt from Vanrad's mistakes. But, my gut is telling me he's planning something, more beyond Thor." Hogun didn't like him being on Miguard, something about it just looked suspicious. "I just don't like the idea of him being around being able to do as he pleases, at least in the tower Tony has full control of it."  He trusted that more than Kurse's freedom.

After a couple of hours of heavy sleep, Thor had woken up groggily, he was still half-asleep had emerged from the bedroom. To his surprise that Loki wasn't around his mind was else where. Mainly worrying about Kurse. Part of him wanted to deal with his father himself, but he promised Loki that he wouldn't do anything. He sighed heavily as he went into the kitchen and seen what he could munch on being absoulutely starving. Otherwise he'd still be asleep. He knew that Loki didn't want him to cook.

"Don't tell Loki I'm cooking Jarvis." Thor grinned at the male.  "He will skin me alive he found out I was." Rubbed the lower part of his stomach he rummaged through the cupboards he found some loaf of bread and decided that he could manage making some toast.  Thor had worked one of the toasters before, he could do this right?  Thor was that hungry he could've not bothered with the dam toaster and eat the thing as it is.  "Where is every body Jarvis?"

Thor finally set the bread into the toaster. He waited for a few minutes before he began the process when he was satisfied with the slices one of them was...slightly burnt. Okay completely destroyed but he couldn't care less at this point.  "Look's advertising doesn't it Jarvis." Thor muttered as he devoured the thing to quiet his hunger he had devoured half the loaf before. Luckily the toaster wasn't exactly that complicated. He'd taken Loki's advice about following his nose.  Putting the plate when he was done on the side.

He sighed heavily as he wondered what he'd do about Kurse. "Jarvis was Tony right by saying you detected Twins or was he having me on?" Thor asked.  "I don't want to disrespect Tony it's just a big thing." Thor started to pace again he headed towards back to the bedroom and laid on his back before retreating into the sheets. "They're not going to let me fight after that are they Jarvis? I mean if I feel this ridiculously weak now I doubt they'd let me."

Thor wondered if he'd should speak to Heimdall use his eyes to speak to his father since he couldn't strictly speak to Odin straight away.  At least then he could set Loki's story straight. He was just staring up at the Celine.

"Do you think I should deal with kurse myself? I rather not get everyone involved they've done so much for me already." Thor sighed.
