Topic: Thunder and Mischief (Tachi & Silver_Lady)

[Tachi]

"Hush, you, you were dead on your feet when you got here." He was eager to get the conversation off of him, because honestly, it wasn't going to get any better there. "And Jarvis better not go tattling on me." He said with a teasing, warning tone.

"Of course not, Sir." The AI responded with the speaker out on the balcony.

A little later, Tony was raising a brow. "Who said anything about you being oblivious?" If he was, it was his own conscious telling him so. "The only thing that matters about who he sends is how much you have to watch out for them. And maybe how soon Odin needs the boot due to judgement skills going downhill. The rest is on hold, right? Loki's supposed to be making things up here and you're his chaperone. Take advantage of it. You have a team here to help you. Aren't you supposed to make one of those when you become king or something?" A royal council, something like that?

"Loki mentioned the Warriors Three? Sounds like you've got people who have your back. Just because you're a God doesn't mean you're alone. You should probably stop thinking like that or Loki's going to stab you again." That last part Tony was teasing him with and then laughed and the oddity of it.

[Silver_Lady]

Thor gave a slight grin. "Yeah, just a good job they're not here the greedy fuckers. I do miss them I was even contemplating on inviting one of them here for a sparring match. Fandral would probably side on you on that part. They're all fiercely loyal sometimes I forget to rely on them. "

" Hey I'm stil recovering from the last stab. I thought your policy said no Stabbing? " Thor joked back as he turned around and leaned his back on the rails. His suir teared slightly when he folded his muscles by accident." I think when you loved as long as I am you just don't expect anyone to help you or entitled to help. It's why I thought here would be best since you guys could manage and handle yourselves."

"You should come to Asguard even if humans aren't suppose to be there. It's rather beautiful." Thor thought of home and the people living on it. It pained him when he was last banished. Thors stomach grumbles in demand of more food. He had been so worried about Vanrads arrival to Asguard.

" I'm sure my father wil take your recordings into account. He might be senile as of late but he does have comon sense as much as I like to believe he has. Plus I'd get an update for you seeing what the verdict was. Hopefully things can return to normal. Worse case scenario I can just send Loki on their cases and make them turn their tails. " Thor twitched his shoulder as if he was unwinding.

" Sorry for blurting out. Just a lot was on my kind and didn't want to being the atmosphere down"

[Tachi]

The God was definitely getting better at using English, or at least Midguardian. He'd had a strange way of talking before but he was using more slang now. Tony wondered if it was the technology or if he'd picked it up from somewhere. "There is a no stabbing policy, I just don't quite trust him to follow it." A quick glance was given when the suit tore just by Thor crossing his arms. "Show off." He playfully said.

"Yeah, well, take the throne and maybe I will." Honestly he wasn't too sure he wanted to know Odin's reaction to his letter and hologram. Hopefully he had a sense of humor in there and opened his eyes a little. There was a soft snort at Thor's ultimatum. "When out of options, sic Loki on them. Got it." Does that mean he should borrow the God for anyone he didn't like? That could actually be really useful, especially with the magic. They definitely needed some team building exercises going on here though.

"Don't worry about it. At least you haven't made it rain inside yet." A funny image of a tiny raincloud following Thor around came to mind, Loki rolling his eyes at it, calling him a drama queen. "Sounds like you need to eat more. Heats can be brutal." Tony locked himself up in the penthouse for the duration of his. Toys only. "Come on, we'll start on some team training tomorrow if you guys are feeling up to it."

Tony headed back inside, expecting Thor to follow him. He retook his seat and Loki looked for his brother to retake his, studying subtlety. "I was just telling Widow about the time we ditched Vanrad at the woman's bath house." The spy had been set to follow them and Loki had had the idea to pretend they were going peeping, only to ditch the man in a compromising position. The lady warriors who'd been bathing had not been amused nor listened to Vanrad when he blamed the Princes who were innocently playing on the other side of the kingdom, with witnesses.

[Silver_Lady]

Thor smirked, there was still time to make it rain inside. Thir grinned at the very prospect grabbing some more food allowing his mind to shut up for once,  he listens to Loki and laughter came out of him as he took his seat. " That as priceless." Thor chimed in. As he begun eating like he hadn't eating in days.

"Or Loki did you remember when I was still learning how to use the hammer how to fly Vanrads was afraid of heights? He squealed like a little girl. I told him when we got up in the air I was still learning how to land."  He flashed a smile at Widow adding his own. Vanrads wasn't blessed with a sense of humour but surely entertained them for a while. Well Loki wouldn't be a god of mischief for nothing.

He eyes went to Tony as a thank you. As if they were having a little conversation of their own just to mock him a little a bout raining inside, he made a few little droplets of rain just land on Tony's head but stopped it just to prove a point.

"Something wrong Metal man?" Thor smirked. "Oh god remember that time we taught some Midguardian slang to Vanrad?"  Thor didn't understand half of it but he was learning when they were out of the tower and heard them speak it. But still Thor was learning. Do he didn't stand out as much as a sore thumb. He's time he had come here he found  something new.

" I still don't understand why you guys say its sick man"

[Tachi]

"He still squeals like a little girl." Loki had never appreciated having a spy sent after them. It didn't matter that they got into enough trouble to need supervision at times. They were Gods and they were on Asguard; it was insulting. Therefore he made life hell for Vanrad as often as possible. Most likely why the man had been so keen on getting one over on them by mating with Thor. Awful decision.

There was a small shout of surprise from Tony and then, "Thor!" He ran his fingers through his hair and mock scowled at the God. "J, delay that furniture replacement." He was mostly joking. Since Loki had thrown his tantrum and they'd literally broken the bed fucking, Tony had had to order sturdier furniture.

Loki peeked around Thor to raise a slender brow at Tony, guessing at his brother's mischief, and smirking slightly. "Ugh, don't remind me." He drawled about Vanrad. "It was like a toddler thinking they're funny." Repeating the same word over and over again while not getting the meaning right. It had been amusing at first and then it'd just become annoying as nothing else. Loki had eventually given him a tongue lashing so harsh that he hadn't heard it again for an entire month.

Clint snorted. "I know that one! It means it's 'cool' or 'awesome'."

"Don't bother trying to figure it out. They'll just keep making up new words and meanings." Tony said, fairly in touch with it but not bothering to keep up.

[Silver_Lady]

Thor felt right at home when he started to settle down in to the conversation mainly tales of Vanrad and how he was easily fooled by Loki. The God was always 5 steps ahead which was why it was even more funny because even though Thor was more brawns then brain he could always see right TThrough Loki.

Even so when Thor began chucking things when he started to suspect he was talking to a copy and not the real thing. He could see past all of Loki's illusions better than most. It saddened him really that Loki had to hide behind it. He smirked at Loki picking up on his bad ways as Tony found the little bits of droplets.

His mood had picked up since his little talk with Tony. He then went to grab something that was 'light' like a pen and chucked it at his brother.. It was something that Thor did to test his theory with Loki and most likely to piss him off. They had seen each other through thick and thin.

'Thor yawned a little but he continued eating because his hunger never seemed to have faded. In fairness he was trying his best to keep up with his manners but it didn' t always fall through and sometimes ate like an animal that hadn't seen food in days.

" On a serious note I do want to thank each and everyone of you for what you have done with Vanrad,  I know he's not the easiest and I'm sorry for putting this on you, it's not on. But I do thank you.. And I think in all honesty we did need tonight as a relaxation night." Thor spoken softly  It was like that moment he realised how many people were on his side. He had thought to be alone that had to carry the weight of his burdens on his own but since coming here joining the Advengers well, it was just a wake up cool.

Taking another swig of the drink before putting it down. " So when we will be expecting little Gods running around? Think  of it Tony,! We get to see cute.. Maybe not so cute on Loki's side, little God babies.!"

That made Thor spit out his drink in shock,  "Say what?"  Thor looked at Loki to see his reaction.
' Well... Loki?'' Widow glanced at Loki she was obviously teasing but finding it funny to see the God's reaction's.

Banner was sitting quietly along side Captain America who were drinking partaking in the Discussion. Mean while, on the top of the building, Tony's box was returned with a small envelope was attached to it returning. From odin had arrived. 

[Tachi]

Although not looking at Thor, Loki's hand went up and he caught the pen, scowling at Thor. "I dowish you'd stop that." It was annoying to have his illusions dodge whatever Thor threw at him all while acting it'd just been a thing that'd happened. At this point Loki was done eating and could do with more sleep, but at the moment he was fine with not leaving without his brother. Honestly he wasn't certain if he'd even take him up on the flirtation he himself had started earlier or if passing out for another day was required first.

Clint raised his mug slightly to Thor. "You'll just have to help us out with the next weird villain that attacks Earth." He grinned at Loki. "No offense." There was some offense.

Loki just rolled his eyes. Thankfully he hadn't been drinking anything when Widow brought up his and Thor's future children. He knew that was a goal, as was required to carry on the bloodline, but it was a rather abstract thought at best. Still, did Thor have to spew things everywhere? He frowned in distaste.

Tony groaned. "Mini-gods destroying my Tower." He winked at Thor, to show he was just kidding around.

Loki gathered himself quickly.  "We've yet to see the results of this heat, but Thor doesn't smell pregnant yet. You'll have to await with baited breath." He replied, full of sass. Tony snorted at the answer and Clint laughed. Tony was a little surprised Cap was taking it so well; the two brothers mating. 'Back in his day' someone would've lost their shit.

"I do hate to interrupt, but it appears that Asguard has sent a reply. The location is on the roof."

There was silence for a moment before Loki said, "Well, let's see what Odin has to say for himself." He stood, because if there was something attached to the message that shouldn't be there, he'd be able to detect it. Tony got up as well, wanting to know what the heck was up there.

[Silver_Lady]

Thor didn't want to know what his father had to say.  He held himself back fearing the worst. To his surprise he was expecting a back lash of mistreating Vanrad. Thor gulped if anything that made him this nervous was this. He had even held onto Lokis clothing as if he was expecting bad news.

The box remained intact with a letter attached to him. Nmje wondered what kind of mood his father was in to be expecting Vanrad so soon. He wasn't expecting ` Hi I miss you son have a good day` it all baited on how or what lies Vanrad had tried to get himself out of trouble.

He sighed as he was the first to step forward been it as his father and passed the box to Tony. He opened it up and began reading out loud.

"Greetings, this is king Odin responding to your message in regarding Vanrad. Thank to the one they named Tony spark. I am disappointed in Vanrads behaviour. He is currently in prison for high treason and starting needless wars and empty threats to Miguard.We have no qualms with you and have no reason to start war he is clearly an imbercill and had this coming to him."

Thor cleared his throat." I apologise for his insanity, I honestly thought he had changed or Thor would make him a better person but clearly thought of power and nothing more. I will be sending another suiter soon. I ensure I won't be making the same mistake again. As for any suiters out staying they're welcome if things do not merry well. I will assure that no war will come between us. But doesn't mean that Thor can be let off easy as respect of our agreement has to be due. "

Thor filled with a little bit relief that his father was taking their side. In no warning Thor had collapsed under the pressure. His body caved in on its self as he was beginning to pass out since he had been worrying with a sense of relief. He didn't even realise it.

[Tachi]

So soon after seeing Thor through his heat, Loki held instinctively back and close to Thor, responding to his nervous energy and subconscious call for protection. "Nothing unexpected." Loki said after visually scanning the box. That was something, though it would've been petty and foolish to send a nasty surprise attached to a letter. Loki watched as Thor picked it up and started reading, Tony taking the box and glancing it over, but nothing had been done to it. A frown came at the misspelling of his name, glancing up as if he could give a look to Odin instead of this Heimdall guy.

The man still laughed at Odin's agreement that Vanrad was an imbecile, because he really, really was. There was hope for the King of Asguard after all! Or maybe the time apart and something in his letter had gotten through to him. It was good to know that no matter what any of these suitors said or did, if they turned out like Vanrad, they could send them packing without consequence. Odin would keep sending them, but they didn't have to put up with someone who'd be a complete pain in the ass.

Loki had a look of calculation in his eyes. 'Not the same mistake', but perhaps all new clever ones. Perhaps Odin did want what was best for both the throne and Thor, but that didn't mean the suitors did and he wasn't willing to wait much longer. Loki wouldn't let anyone else have his brother. Movement caught his eye and he darted in, catching Thor's arm to keep him from fully collapsing on the roof.

"Woah, there." Tony said, going in on the other side.

"Honestly, brother, and you call me the drama queen." Loki got Thor into more of a seated position and then picked him up bridal style with no effort. "Let's get him inside before it starts raining again or something equally dramatic." Tony shook his head, taking the letter and opening the door for them. "I believe we will retire for the evening." Given that Thor was mostly out of it.

"Yeah, Thor looks like he's had as much as he can handle." Which was strange because he hadn't thought that he'd ever see the God collapsing like that, Omega or not. "Go on." He waved him towards the elevator and Loki nodded his thanks, taking it down to their floor. He was acutely aware that someone had been there when he stepped out. It seemed that cleaning staff had been there again. The destroyed furniture was gone, his new clothes had been moved and when he went  into Thor's room there were new sheets on the bed. Loki set his brother there and began to magic them out of their suits, inspecting and putting away what was still considered clean.

[Silver_Lady]

Thor had been stressing about the big things and the little things mostly war. He knew how proud his father was the fact thst he had agreed with Tony that was a massive relief off his shoulders thinking that he would have to go to Asguard and reason with him but Odin had come to his senses. Plus he had food and drink not that the drink made him passed out it was the sheer level of stress.

He didn't know or couldn't predict which direction his father would go. Whether or not he'd seek reason or thought Thor was being disrespectful. Thor had gone butt heads with his father. The recent one had been Lokis.

Thor stirred. Only to shift into a comfortable position. His body felt like it weighed like a ton once he realised he wa naked back in bed Thor shut down and dropped his guard as he was sleeping.

Natasha was with Tony as she was making her way back to her room that happened to be in the same direction. "I do worry about them,  Thor sens not to be himself lately I don't blame him tho since well who liked arranged marriages?  He must stop driving himself to the ground... Literally. Loki clearly got his hands full  hasn't he. I'd that what you guys were talking about when  you and Thor left the room?  It explained why he looked bloody relieved about Jo wars with Asguard "

[Tachi]

Loki's eyes went to Thor as he stirred, but the man didn't wake. He got him comfortable under the sheets and kissed his omega before getting ready for bed, taking the time to brush his teeth and do all the things they hadn't been able to the past few days. Only after he was satisfied did he get into bed with Thor, not particularly caring that there was only the one bed right now, even if the larger man tended to spread out and take up the majority of it. Loki just resolved to lay halfway on top of him instead and slept.

--

"That among other things." Tony replied. "Big guy's got a lot on his plate." Asgard, the nine realms, war, children, mating, etc. It was a lot to put on someone. Tony had issues with the pressure he was under and Thor had that 10 fold. Loki had it to, he just hid it better. Probably shoved it down right next to where he kept his torture trauma. "Let's hope there's a break before the next suitor." Give things time to calm down. He bid goodnight to Nat and headed back to share the news with everyone else before they put away leftovers and split off for the night.

--

It was peaceful for a few hours before Loki started twitching and shifting in his sleep. There was some low muttering now and again and every once in a while a sharp jerk. He was sweating, lightly. He didn't often sweat and it wasn't that hot. Finally he woke up and pulled away from Thor to sit up, running a hand through his hair and working on getting his breathing under control. He was fine. It was in the past, it was no big deal. Or at least that's what he told himself.

[Silver_Lady]

How does someone deal with truama? of course everyone had it differently but he was no expect at comforting and wasn't sure what Loki needed right now. His eyes were shut but he awake to feel if he was needed. Was this a deal with you alone thing or did it require help? Thor felt Loki  push away and that was when Thor emerged from his 'fake sleep'  a couple a seconds ago to check if Loki was okay and Thor just glanced at him.

He couldn't empathise or relate to the trauma, he understood that Loki was a proud male. He didn't want to appear weak, he knew that Loki had a lot of personal matters regarding to Thannos. It made him further angry about the entire ordeal yawning to properly wake him self up.  "When are you going to learn to learn on me when you had matters like this to deal with?" Thor asked  he wasn't the best but he would try for Loki.

Perhaps Tony.... no. Banner had a few books based on trauma, being scientifically examined and experimented on maybe Banner was more on the Psychological side of things. On the brain how it worked, Tony was more Psychics kind of man. He wondered if he could learn how to comfort Loki. Would he try to stab him if he was confronted by his feelings? his demons that circled around him like crows? or did it require a more sensitive tactic.

Thor frowned mentally he didn't know what to do he brought Loki into a warm hug he said reassuring words. "You're safe Loki I'm here your at Miguard in our bedroom. He can't get to you, not  without getting through me first." Thor muttered he felt his jaw clench every time he thought of Thannos. He had thought about using the staff to get to Thannos. But would've it be enough?

Thor brushed his own hair out of his lockets. "Can I get you anything?" Thor tried to ask he didn't know if Loki preferred to be left alone. "I will be right back." Thor kissed Loki's on the forehead reassuringly. "I will get Jarvis to get you some drink. Jarvis play relaxing calming sounds." Thor suggested before shifting.

He went to get the bathrobe on. He didn't want to leave Loki like this but he had no choice and he didn't want to pry Jarvis either. So in the early hours of the morning. "Jarvis which is the direction of Banner's lab?"  Thor was asking as he was finding himself lost trying different floors, hopefully the big green guy didn't mind him going through certain 'books'.

Thor was at a loss, he wanted to help Loki but he didn't understand anything about Trauma-based ideas. Of how to comfort, how to heal so Loki felt ten times better. Instead of finding Banner's office he found the library instead. "This is going to take a while." He huffed. "Jarvis where would the trauma-based books be in this section? or maybe self-healing/comfort books? Would be more precise." Thor awaited the answer he wished Tony or Banner was here to assist. But he didn't want to let on Loki's issue without Loki being prepared to talk about it.

He sighed heavily as he was flipping through the pages when he thought he was close to a book when he was done with the book he placed it back until he found the right one.  He was getting increasingly annoyed having to go through books. He didn't know how to talk or how to address it Loki so he could openly talk about it. Before he addressed the Elephant in the room he would've thought of educating himself on it first.

[Tachi]

Laughing briefly and sardonically, Loki got out, "A few days ago you weren't even aware." And those days had been spent the the throes of heat. He would've preferred if Thor hadn't said anything at all. What did the man expect him to do? Spill out all his secrets and cling to him while he cried? That wasn't him. Truths with him were hard won. He'd prefer if what'd happened with Thanos never saw the light of day again.

His thoughts had been drifting again. He certainly hadn't been expecting Thor to pull him close like Mother would when they were young children and make reassurances, letting out a small huff of surprise and amusement. After a moment though he pinched and twisted one of Thor's nipples. "Silence your thoughts, brother. You're not going after him." Thor had always been easy to read when he was angry or upset. Despite the words not being of much comfort though, he didn't fight or push him away.

Thankfully though, the awkwardness didn't last. "I'm fine, brother." He said somewhat impatiently, yet still tolerantly, sighing in amused exasperation when Thor proceeded to treat him like a sick child or depressed woman. Laying back on the bed, he wondered just how the AI was supposed to 'get him a drink' as Thor started doing things. Jarvis started playing a sound track of someone talking as Thor headed out in a bathrobe.

"Jarvis, what's this?"

"I believe you may appreciate this more, Prince Loki. These are what Midguardians call 'Malicious Compliance' stories." Jarvis responded.

The narrator actually gave a description for it and the god hummed. Perhaps they wouldn't be so bad. It certainly gave him something else to focus on and the voice wasn't bad.

--

"Please head towards the elevator, Prince Thor, and I will take you to the correct floor." Jarvis responded, guiding Thor towards where he wanted to go. The God was headstrong though and easily distracted, heading in different directions and ending up on a different floor entirely. "That would be under 'Metal health', Sir. In the Psychology section." The sections were clearly labelled.

--

After a short while, Loki got out of bed and went to his own room to get dressed. He recalled Tony mentioning training and chose appropriate clothing; black shorts and a dark green tank top. When he came out he found this...robot...thing...offering him what appeared to be a glass of water with it's arm. Loki looked at it with askance and raised a brow as it beeped seemingly hopefully.

"That would be DUM-E, Sir. Mr. Stark's first robot. He has brought you the drink Prince Thor requested. I have observed him retrieving it, it is fine."

"I see..." Loki took the glass from the robot and looked at it for a moment longer and it seemed to look at him hopefully, raising its hand. He first sniffed and then took a drink of the water, which tasted fine. DUM-E let out a series of excited beeps and spun its hand around before backing up and starting to drive itself out of his quarters. Strange robot.

[Silver_Lady]

Thor was aware that comforting wasn't his forte. Sparring had always been his speciality.  Reading wasn't his strongest suit. He knew he had pissed Loki off. He didn't know what to do. When he found the right section. He didn't show up for training. He figured that by given Loki space would allow him to calm down.

Thor had found a comfy chair and sat in it with 10 books of psychological effects from trauma. He knew that he felt like hwas patronising. But Loki knew he was crap at this stuff. "Why are relationships so difficult?"  Thor was engrossed in the books obviously aware of the time. Fro. The moment he had got up he hadn't interacted with anyone nor move from his spot.

Thor sighed as he started a chapter of confronting and self healing.

[Tachi]

After eating breakfast he was informed that the others were heading to the training room. Loki had no idea where his brother had gotten to and debated skipping out on the whole thing if Thor wasn't even going to be bothered to show up. Considering they'd dealt with Vanrad though, he supposed he did owe them though. So he stepped out of the elevator on his own, much to the surprise of Tony, who raised a brow at him.

"Where's Thor?"

"I haven't the slightest. He took off for something and hasn't returned. He has to be somewhere in t he building." Otherwise the bracelets would act up.

"Prince Thor is currently in the library. Would you like me to summon him for you?"

Tony shared a glance with Loki before shaking his head, "Nah, just let him come up when he's ready." Instead he walked Loki over to where the equipment and ring were. "Ready for Nat to test your level?"

Loki's eyes narrowed at him. "Is this revenge for throwing you out the window? I saw the montage."

Tony laughed. "No, but it could be. Everybody gets their ass kicked by her at least once."

"Oh joy." Loki snarked, seeing how his morning was to go.

--

Pepper was busy woman. She had an entire company to run as well as taking care of anything concerning Tony Stark, which included his entire social media presence. Sure, there were teams hired under her for this, but she ultimately oversaw everything. Therefore her day was fairly filled out and when she went somewhere she was fast and efficient. Fast high heels clicked through the library as Pepper stalked out her needed Mandarin to English translation book she needed to brush up on before her meeting with Council Han tomorrow when she noticed Thor sitting in the library. She almost did a double take when she noticed he was in nothing more than a bathrobe.

Curious, she got close enough to see that he was surrounded by psychology books....of trauma and self healing? "Are you alright, Thor?" She asked kindly, glancing briefly at her watch and noting that she had a few minutes to spare.
