Topic: Thunder and Mischief (Tachi & Silver_Lady)

[Silver_Lady]

"You know exactly what I mean brother. " Thor's eyes sparkled with humour. "I might be begging for a sparring match right now but even I know that Banner would be a bad choice with the Hulk. We get into nasty scrapes and I know you know that as well. I might be stupid but not that stupid. But I hear the Hulk is slowly trusting the Avengers."

Thor relaxed into Loki's embrace. "I might not be at my best form yet but I promise you I won't endanger my family. I did that once before in my youth but I can assure you I won't again. " The first time that Odin had banished him had been a hard lesson enough and only for his beloved Mjölnir that was currently being seized by Shield  not being able to lift it was a true kick in the gut. He would always remain worthy. Thor might be impulsive but he had learned his lesson's in the past mistakes as being eager to follow in his father's foot steps as a mere child at at the time even though he was a full grown.  He never understood his father's words at the time. Thinking that he'd get praise by creating fear in to his enemy.

"I might have done mistakes in the past but he wasn't about to repeat them. He enjoyed the water hitting against them it only strengthened his calmness.  "I don't think of him as weak Loki for staying home. We're both been raised on the front lines of war in all battles, heck he had came with me on several occasions when we were travelling the 9 realms. I couldn't pick have better companions, of course Siv. Who wasn't a fan of Loki but they were warming up to each other slowly.

"No one had ever doubted my skills brother. I didn't have to think I just did it for a long time. Sure it got me in to trouble when we were battling the Frost giants, my own mistake for thinking that I could show them I am equally as intimidating as my father. It's... a major thing to change." Thor contemplated as got out the shower and began to dry himself off.

"Besides I don't like the idea of getting beaten by the Hulk today my body is already a mess."

"Dr Banner? the nervous one gone rogue?" Fandral raised his eyebrow, he had been a charming sense of a man. Nervous, quirky, but fond of Natasha that was plain to see. He was wondering what had set the male off. "Of course I'd let you have the lime light but the children will be such in shock of how bravery I was in the fear of danger." He grinned at the male.

"Never fear little ones Fandral is here!" Pretending he had a sword in his hand.  But he never topped Thor in Showmanship. "I do not envy you at all Volstagg I think just seeing you at your worst through your pregnancy is enough to put me off no thanks I think I'm going to stick to being Prince charming." Fandral was of course joking. He kneeled down. "First life lesson, never get between your mother and his food. "Fandral teased. "He's quite keen on it." Fandral patted the bump before standing up straight humour was a great way to take the edge of things.

"That's a relief. We will check when the storm has cleared." Hogun had responded. "There's one thing that bothers me though surely the sentenced had changed if Loki didn't intend on taking over Miguard, he was 'mind controlled' surely that should change his sentence?" Hogun asked.

"I was thinking that as well but I'm sure Thor is on the case with that." Fandral responded. Anything to do with Loki you can bet that Thor was 100% on it.---

The hulk gazed around knowing that people were moving towards the exit but Natasha was distracting him. Her eyes said a lot of warning, mainly towards Captain.  "You weren't there." Captain was obviously offended he knew he was in the wrong and it was his fault that the Hulk came out. Luckily they contained the problem before the damages got expensive.

"Thanks for asking if I was okay." Captain bluntly said. "We we're talking normally, Banner at any point didn't say that he felt uncomfortable or was triggered by what we were talking about. Just a normal conversation about what was discussed. I mentioned I was on the fence about Loki being here I wasn't fully convinced about him being a changed man. I thought Banner was on the same page with me but -"

He glanced outside the window walking a few steps releasing his own arm from Tony's grip. "He defended Loki. That's what triggered it. I didn't expect him and the Hulk to be buddies. Otherwise I wouldn't have asked."

There was no reasoning to why the Hulk liked Loki, they had a love & hate relationship.

[Tachi]

'Youth'. It was a few years ago. Hardly anything to an Asgardian. Enough to bring about change though. "Odin is a more dangerous opponent than the Hulk in some ways." Loki warned. While the Hulk definitely wasn't one you should fight while pregnant, the creature also seemed to run on baser instincts. He didn't know how he reacted to omegas, let alone pregnant ones, but there was the chance that instinct would break through his rage. Whereas Odin could ignore the instinct entirely and attack out of spite. Either way, both were to be avoided.

The Frost Giants...so many things could've been avoided if only they hadn't made it to Jotunheim. It was something that couldn't be changed. He'd tried to destroy it to be like Thor...but Odin hadn't accepted him even then. He didn't think he'd ever had or would. Thor did. And although he had other reasons for taking the throne with his brother and mate, he would relish rubbing it in Odin's face. Not something to think on now though, as he was trying to keep Thor from running off too soon to take the throne.

Loki made sure they got cleaned up, not just stood there under the water, and it still wasn't cold when they got out, but he wasn't as keen to linger without Thor. With a soft snort, he started drying off. "It's not fun." He said about getting beaten by the Hulk. "Useful for getting rid of mind control though." Not the recommended remedy. "Jarvis, when the furniture comes in, have the dresser put in this room." There was no point in staying in their room and going to his for clothes all the time, though of course he'd likely house any overflow there. His room would contain his books and artifacts. Perhaps he'd speak with Stark about converting it into a potions lab.

"Of course, Sir. Also, your guests are awake when you're ready to see them."

--

Settling back in his seat, Volstagg shifted his position. "This is why it's such fun to watch you change the nappies, 'Prince Charming'." It messed with his suave image and no one was fond of the smell. "Don't worry," He said, touching his stomach, "You can test Uncle Frandal's fortitude yourselves once you're out." His kids could be a handful all together, taken care of by other family members while he gone or out in battle. Mostly his mother. Sometimes though he brought them all to test out their Uncle's patience and ability to handle children.

As for Loki's sentence and him being brainwashed. "If what he said was true... Well, it does change things. Not everything though. There all the things before Midguard." Everything with the Frost Giants, attacking Heimdall, manipulating Thor, killing him, nearly getting Odin killed, attempting to destroy Jotunheim, creating chaos across the nine realms.

--

"You look fine." Tony said, stating the obvious. The Hulk had just come out when he'd gotten there so he obviously hadn't 'smashed' yet. He didn't smell any blood either. He'd been planning on getting Steve to a different floor entirely when the man freed himself from him. Rolling his eyes, he internally bitched about how childish he was being and how it was impossible for him to force an enhanced human into the elevator without the suit.

"Yeah, well, you heard what Volstagg said: people see Frost Giants as monsters. People see the Big Guy here like that. Guess there's a sort of kinship there." Tony didn't really know what a Frost Giant was, but the name kind of gave it away, only Loki was pretty average height. He wasn't about to ask though. "I'm not 100% sold on Loki but he was brainwashed, went through some tough shit, had some shitty family drama going on, and now he has a mate and kids on the way. That's a lot more stability than before and with more support, who knows, maybe he'll prove that he just needed people to trust and believe in him."

Tony scrunched his nose a bit. "Now if you ever make me talk like that again, I'll let the Big Guy smash you."

[Silver_Lady]

"I know I know." Thor muttered. His father was far from a  weak feeble old man but his very prescience spoke for it's self.  There were a few things that he didn't forget about his brother. Some may call him a fool, Loki pretty much made him believe that it was his own fault that his father was dead and Loki was burdened with the throne.  Sure he felt out of place to trust his brother but something in him told him to it was instincts.

"Let's see what the boys are doing." Thor said in response to Jarvis. " Thor put on some more clean clothes on. He was going to have to update his wardrobe soon which he wasn't looking forward to. As he was about to leave the bedroom Thor's leaned against the wall for a minute his body did hit the wall with a bit of a thud because he had lost his balance. "I have to apologise for leaving earlier last night." Thor felt guilty for that. He was under the assumption that Loki was being difficult on purpose.

"I'm alright." He reassured Loki as he kissed him on the forehead. "Let's make our way to them before they get bored and find entertainment for themselves.
--

"No NO heaven's not!" Fandral did a dramatic pose. He landed on his knees defeated by the words Nappies.  He thought he could handle it but babies were disgusting things. "One child is enough. That's the best part of about being an uncle you get to give the kids back."

"Thor's going to hate nappy changing. I can just see Loki now doing it." Fandral laughed.

Hogun held his nose at the very prospect of handling children in that manner. "I will leave that to you Fandral, since you have a natural 'give' with children." Hogun preferred swords and daggers then little hands touching his face and pulling his ears or beard for that matter.
-

Steve stared at Tony an Aloha's stare.  He scratched the back of his head. He hadn't been himself lately and he knew he was being a jerk right now.  Tony had his work his distractions, Steve just had time and lots of it when they weren't fighting. Perhaps it was just best to leave the matter alone and see how it unfolds but Steve was protective.

Loki have had a tough ride even if he did rotten things it was hard to place the guy and  Steve hated the idea of not being 100% sure about something. "Time will tell I guess." Steve mentioned.

"I didn't expect for Banner to react like that. I figured the Hulk was more my side on that defence. " But Tony's point made it more true that both of them were hated by society and knew what it felt like to be different and casted out.

He knew if he said can't you handle battles your self wouldn't end up very pretty so Steve kept his mouth shut for that kind of sassy talk. Captain and Tony had always butted heads when it came to leadership or different take on decisions. "God imagine if we were ever paired we wouldn't last a day." Steve smirked a little.

"I think with all the pregnant males and partnered up pairs, being an Alpha I feel I may be looking for a fight." Steve spoken honestly as they were entering the lift he leaned against the wall his broad shoulders across his arms.

"With Thor being pregnant I suppose it's easy to want those kinds of things."

[Tachi]

Having coming to terms with being made to be social if he wanted to be around his mate, which he instinctually felt the pull for more and more as Thor needed him by his side, Loki had already assumed how they'd be spending their day. Separating from Thor for the moment, he went and got dressed in his room before returning to him, only to see him leaning against the wall. "What you need to do is eat." He counteracted, coming close.

Thor wouldn't be kept still for long, so he turned and went through the bag from last night. Most of it had to be tossed due to having meat that'd been out, but there were fries that'd do for now.  "Place an order with Jarvis something you can tolerate. You're taking this with you." Loki said, not taking 'no' for an answer. Heading to the microwave, he heated it up, the rest going in the trash. He could wait for food but lately Thor kept putting it off and walking away. It wasn't until they were done that he let him head for the door, container in hand.

--

"Probably with magic." Volstagg added. It would figure that Loki could figure out how to change diapers easily with magic and then would let everyone else suffer through it the hard way. "Thor is daft and clueless, he'll end up getting peed on, especially if they have a little boy." And it quite the thing to laugh over.

--

Prickling under the stare, Tony's eyes narrowed and he met it head on. This is why he and Cap got into arguments. Tony hated this macho-Alpha bullshit and didn't tolerate any of it. He didn't care who he was, he wasn't going to back down.  What he didn't expect was for Steve to bring up them being paired up. He burst out into a quiet chuckle. No. Just no. "Don't even joke about it." They'd kill each other, or at least want to.

At least he was heading to the elevator again and getting away from Hulk, which was a bonus. As the doors closed, he snorted. "So what you're telling me, Mr. America, is that you need to get laid." Tony was highly entertained by this. "And you think Thor's hot. To be fair, he is, but he's completely off the table. I hear Volstagg stays available though. If that's what you're into."

[Silver_Lady]

Thor didn't eat last night and he sure as hell wasn't hungry now and he pouted at the prospect of Loki demanded that he eaten something. Too bad for Loki that Thor was equally as stubborn it was funny that Loki knew more what he needed than he did with his own body. He was such a glutton at the best of times for once in his life he wasn't.

"How is that you seem to know exactly what I need right now?" Thor asked raised his head up as he took the fries and started to eat them as they were walking. "Jarvis can you order some food and bring it to Volstagg's room.. something that you recommend." Thor suggested since he didn't really have a food in mind. "Order a little bit more just in case the boys wanted some." Thor continued to eat the fries.

"Why do I feel like you're going to be the parent that will learn absoulutely everything about pregnancies and children's growth?" Thor smirked with a tease. In a few minutes later they ended up at Volstagg's and the boys room. Knocking he had pushed the door open. "Brothers." Thor smirked.

"Sorry about my mood last night. I wasn't in good spirits." Thor raised his eyebrow at what Fandral was doing. "Fandral why does it look like your praying?" He asked. "Did you mention nappies again?" He asked Volstagg. He looked at Loki dead in the eyes. 'Don't leave me' it was a stare that he said without speaking. He didn't feel up to socialising him self but he wanted to spend as much time as he could whilst they were here.

Thor heard the last bit. "Who's daft and clueless." Thor gave a hurt face but a playful one. "At least I didn't put the nappy on the head like someone I know did."

Fandral smirked "Yeah you were a right champ when it came to nappy changing I think Loki will have a head up on you. Loki! Come join us. All is well?" Fandral asked both of the men since they didn't know if Thor knew or were happy about the news.

"Relax I know Fandral. I'm still processing it. " Thor reassured.
--

Steve raised an eyebrow at Tony's statement. One way of putting it  Tony wasn't knowing for beating around the bush as they said.  Steve was trying to think of a smart ass-reply but Tony had shocked him by the out-ward statement that made him actually sheepish. As if he was left shell-shocked in front of the stage.

"I wouldn't put it that way. "Steve started to pace as the lift started to lower. "Thor is hot but he's not my type and plus I don't like the idea of becoming a suiter, Loki will rip me to shreds. Plus even if Volstagg was open to that kind of thing. I suppose just something real, rather than just getting laid Tony when you lived as long as I have you get sentimental about these things." America said.

"So you like Thor?" Steve asked. "I think if we did mate we would end up bashing heads fight fire with fire is probably not the best tact. Me and Thor will just end up killing each other.  I don't know how he's going to cope with the weight gain though. I think we should limit to how much he does for us in the field."

[Tachi]

"It's not exactly difficult. You're producing a new life and that requires energy. Energy requires fuel; in this case, food." Thor needed to eat whether he wanted to or not. "Besides, how many times has Volstagg been pregnant now? Have you not paid attention for a single one of them?" It was a somewhat predictable cycle. Not always the same but generally with the same symptoms.

"Of course, Sir. Shall I order breakfast for you as well, Prince Loki?"

"Go ahead and do that." They'd end up eating there anyway.

"Come in!" Volstagg ended up shouting at the knock on the door, soon after laughing at Thor's correct guess. "You'll be too busy cooing over the little one that you'll get your face right in there and forget! Mark my words!"

Loki had fortified himself already, but the look Thor gave him said there'd be no escape, so he stepped into the room after him and shut the door, giving his own answer to Frandal. "He spent the whole morning staring at his stomach and brooding."

"Brooding, huh?" Volstagg repeated. "Come on, sit down you two. Thor, you're going to be exhausted for the next few months. Trust me, it's exhausting being exhausted all the time. Oh, and the nausea. Eat while you can!"

Loki steered Thor towards the couch, raising a brow at him in an 'I told you so' manner.

--

Now he was even more amused. That was definitely it. Captain America needed to get laid: Alert the presses. A soft snort left him when Steve said Loki would rip him to shreds, "Yeah he would." A bit of a look was turned on Cap. "'When you've lived as long as'...Do you realize you were on ice most of that time and you're just technically 90? Plus, the Asgardians in the building are all at least over a thousand. You've got nothing on them. You're a spry chicken, congratulations." Usually he was making age jokes about him.

"Thor's going to try to go down swinging and Loki's going to have to keep him in check. We can't let someone who's pregnant out into the field at all after a certain point." Regardless of gender or second gender.

They came up on another Avenger floor and he said, "There's nothing wrong with a little fun while you're looking for that 'something real'. Who knows, maybe you'll find it while you're looking." Cap seemed to be the one interested in kids and Volstagg certainly had some. Asgardians lived a hell of a lot longer but hey, who was he to judge, whether it was for fun or whatever.

[Silver_Lady]

Thor just wanted to slam his head into a wall. He didn't want to pay close attention because he feared it was happening to him but now he felt like he cheated out an exam that would've been proving beneficial. He chose the likely hood of not replying to the male in question was the best tactic.

"The God of thunder doesn't brood." Thor rejected the idea of brooding. "Besides I'm not tired I can go on all night. I'm not exhausted at all." Thor pouted. But it did concern him if Volstagg was saying he was true he had a little window to take over the throne. Before he knew it Loki was taking him to the couch.
 
Wheels were turning on when and how he was going to do it. Providing he didn't gain weight he should be able to hide the pregnancy from his father. Fandral caught the look on Thor's face and simply marched up to the God of thunder and folded his arms and pointed at him.

"You sir aren't going anywhere without Loki's permission. I know that look." Fandral commented.

"Says who?" Thor counter-acted. "Volstragg is saying it will get worse before it gets better. Regardless of how I'm feeling now will be the time to act.. now is the time before the babies get bigger then I can focus on all the happy times right now my father isn't in the right mind to be king." Thor shrugged.

"Not in your condition Thor." Fandral commented. Thor had gotten up from his seat his emotions were running high not thinking straight. In a flash, in two steps, Thor had grabbed Fandral and pushed him towards the nearest wall.

"Want to repeat that again my old friend?" Thor asked he had been itching for a fight. Even just a simple move like that had already made him slightly pant, it wasn't much but it was visible.

"Not in your 'condition'."

"I'm not a fragile princess a damsel in distress, if this city was under attack or Earth it's self I would be in the front lines of the protection, Earth is mine to protect. I will not stand by why my friends go to war. But it doesn't mean that my babies will be put in danger either. I am still a a warrior."

The sudden move made Hogun jump "Come on now boys don't fight. " He could see where Thor was coming from the reality of being pregnant and the idea of not being able to be a warrior.

"I can do it. Fight me and I'd prove you that I can still fight." Thor was happy to be an omega, happy to be a mother to his babies. He didn't know what was worse not being able to fight and protect his family or his friends. When he had the power and the strength to do so.

"Thor Enough." Fandral wasn't going to fight Thor but he sure as hell wasn't going to back down from a challenge he knew that Thor was just scared. Scared of being helpless not being able to do what came naturally to him.
--

Steve looked towards Tony in disbelief. He didn't know why he was because this was Tony at the end of the day. He said what was exactly on his mind. He had no intention of backing down and said his party piece and that was the end of it.

"I'm just old fashioned Tony. " Steve smirked a little. "What you not into older guys?" He asked implying him. Although he wouldn't do that to Tony even if it was just for fun. Tony's life style wasn't exactly a healthy one.

"I have nothing against Asguardian's. " The idea of having a family with Volstagg was appealing but he didn't think that Volstagg was looking for a permanent type. "Besides we're worlds apart he shouldn't be travelling through dimensions or realms. Maybe when he's not pregnant I might give it a go. I don't want to take advantage of him." 

He wasn't saying yes or no he just didn't know how to approach it. Volstagg was handsome in his own way. He loved a man that could handle himself and didn't bother about his history either.

"I'm old enough to be your grandad Tony are you into that kind of thing?" Steve smirked not being at all serious. "Fine I want to get laid, happy now? don't you get tired of being right all the time?"

"What's this about getting laid?" Natasha over heard the conversation. "Banners recovered now and what I'd like to know is what set him off." Nat eyed the Captain.

[Tachi]

"And yet you didn't." Loki pointed out with a smirk as they sat down on Volstagg's couch. Thor hadn't gone on all night, which he probably didn't want his friends knowing, but God of Mischief here. He'd been exhausted but it hadn't quieted his mind for long enough to get a good night's sleep. Perhaps he would speak with Banner when he wasn't green about that sleeping medication he was on about, but for Thor instead. If it didn't affect the baby.

Loki too knew that look and had narrowed his eyes at Thor. Was he to be forced into this foolish sparring match to keep him in place? Surprisingly, Frandal was on his side and taking the front of the argument, though he knew his brother wouldn't listen to him when it was something he really wanted to do.  "Thor." He warned. When the man got up, he was out of his seat in the next moment, though not in any real rush. Thor wouldn't really harm his friends.

"Brother." He said, putting his arms around him and pulling him gently off of Frandal. Right now he was stronger than he was. "I will accept your sparring match, but only if you allow yourself to recover from the neglect you've brought on yourself from these past few years. Not everything is due to being a pregnant omega." It allowed them both to get what they wanted. "Remember the terms, brother." That he would not act, if Loki won, until after the children were had and he'd recovered.

Volstagg didn't think that was such a good idea, but he didn't think Loki would accept it without something planned. Either way, it might be the only thing keeping Thor calm for the moment. "I didn't mean to frighten you. It can be hard to back away from a fight, but just because you aren't on the front line doesn't mean you aren't protecting your family. Babies can't be on the battlefield, in or out, mate. They just can't."

--

One thing that never got old, was shocking and scandalizing Cap. It was always fun. "I got enough of that side of the Daddy-kink in my younger years, Cap." So no, he wasn't interested in Steve. "Besides, you'd probably have a heart attack once you figure out what it is I'm talking about."

"Isn't that for him to decide? Besides, his best buddy is staying here for who knows how long." Until they took over the crown at least and Thor certainly wasn't going to close up travel to Midguard.  He didn't really see a problem other than how long those guys lived and how short they did. Buy hey, again, not his problem.

Tony grinned widely as Steve fully gave it up. "Nope, never get tired of it." Looking to Nat he said, "Steve was being a dick about Loki because his hasn't been sucked in a while. Trying to set him up with Volstagg since he seems to have a thing for pregnant Omega." There was no sugar coding it. Nat didn't need that.

[Silver_Lady]

Thor was fixed on Fandral. He could feel Loki's guidance. Didn't any of them see he was doing it for them? Thor was scared. Scared out of his mind. Out of all the battles he had faced over the centuries of him being alive only two things made him feel that way. Is when anyone hurt his loved ones. The fear when Loki let go of his arm and assumed that Loki was dead, the relief and confusion when he thought his father had died because of him. Thor might not be smart but he was an emotional male. For him, having kids weren't originally part of the plan. It was the part of it being out of his control that scared him the most.

A few deep breaths' Fandral could see Thor was easing himself off he wouldn't hurt him he was just scared and being scared wasn't something that came easy to feel for Thor. "I'm sorry Fandral." Thor muttered. "Yes I remember the terms." He had a feeling that Loki knew what he was doing, Fandral looked back to Loki allowing him to take control of the situation.

"I don't want them to be in the battle either Volstagg."  Thor was trying not to be sounding accusing or hurtful towards Volstagg he was dropping his tone a little. He leaned against the wall. "My body is accustomed to the idea of being a pregnant male but the mind is completely different matter. It will take time."

"In my mind it feels everything has to happen now, like I have literally no time to spare. I need to get rid of these suiters, I need to take the crown and bring peace to all 9 realms. I know my impulsiveness hasn't done me good in the past. "

"If you didn't eat brother, so didn't I besides. I haven't lost that much weight. It just didn't feel right when you were in prison. I couldn't see you so I wanted to support you in other ways. Even if I was cleaning up your messes I was cleaning it up just fine."

"Rubbish." Fandral challenge. "Not to be the bearer of bad news here but you've lost considerable amount of weight. If it wasn't for your sheer determination, admit it you looked washed out. Tired all the time, this was before the pregnancy, you worried me so much. Thor you take on all the enemies that invaded the 9 realms, not stopping. Even when Hogun told you to slow down you didn't and now your body is catching up with it's self, you can barely stand at it is."

"Maybe the fight with Loki would do you some good. All we have is time Thor.  Why rush into the lion's mouth when it's not even bearing it's fangs?  Your brother is here, we're here consider this vacation between suiters. Not everything is doom and gloom. We're here to shoulder your stress it's not just you you know." Fandral hit him on the head lightly as away to knock some sense into him.

"Fine we'd get this ridiculous match over, then hopefully the God of thunder who doesn't brood can get back into resting." Fandral raised his eyebrow to Loki. His eyes told Loki 'Don't make me regret letting him do this' he was afraid of the knives, but he doubted he would hurt his own children.

"Really now?" Hogun asked "Let him eat then we'd go to the training grounds then we can eat and celebrate. Volstagg you could use with a stretch of legs." Hogun commented "Might stop the kiddo's kicking you."
--

"I don't know how it works Tony I know know how to sort the Avengers out keeping you guys from swearing. That's a mission in it's self." Steve commented.

"Hey that's meant to be private Tony" Cap looked insulted that the fact that Tony was just blabbering his truths. Natasha just raised her eyebrow's.

"You might have to win him over, he didn't seem overly keen on your comments with Loki but that's no excuse for bringing Banner into the mix. He's gone down for a nap, he'd be with us shortly." Natasha smirked a little being overly fond  of this. "We have to be your wing man me and Tony will because your Alpha nonsense is driving me crazy."

"Pregnant omegas, don't hear Loki say that he won't be pleased with you." Nat said.
"Hey what are you doing?" Steve looked shocked that his problems were becoming a thing of sense of humour. Steve didn't like the modern techonlogy.

"Just texting Clint." She laughed not really texting him but it's really fun just winding him up.

"Just wait this second" Cap folded his arms pouting at the very idea of being made fun of. He tried to snatch the phone out of her hands but Nat already saw it coming.

[Tachi]

In their long lives there hadn't been much that Thor had been truly afraid of. At times he'd thought to scare him in childish pranks or out of spite, but they'd never reached as deep as right now. It figured that'd it'd happen when he couldn't properly enjoy it, now that Thor was his mate and seemingly attempting to make up for all of the things he'd done in the past. Did Thor realize he sounded like a lovesick God that'd been pining for his mate? It gave him satisfaction to think of it that way, though they now needed to counteract the effect of it.

Loki kept his eyes on his brother, not acknowledging the others at the moment whom were finally seeing what he already saw, in that Thor wouldn't settle down until he'd had his spar and been defeated. Approaching him on the wall, he stood close, speaking quietly. "Thannos is afraid of Odin. Regardless of what he does within the next year, if he's still alive he serves a purpose. We do not need to take on everything at once. We have time." He was putting up with these suitors to give Thor time. He certainly didn't need his brother throwing all of that away.

Gently coaxing him down to his neck to breathe in his scent and calm down, he continued, "I'm here now, brother. I'm eating and sleeping, and so should you. Let us take this time for ourselves instead of piling on duties and responsibilities." That'd come with the crown that'd be theirs soon enough.

Volstagg, while they were talking, scowled just a bit, but in good humor. "How did this turn back on me? You try walking around with gourd bouncing on your bladder. Speaking of which!" Quite used to it by now, Volstagg got up and headed for the bathroom once again.

Tony just gave him a quick grin. "Oh, come on. Nat's the best wing man to have." She was the spy who could get right in there and get the truth out of people. He just chuckled as she 'texted' Clint. "Don't get me involved in that one." He wasn't playing 'phone keep away'. 

"Don't worry, Cap, we'll get you laid. You just have to remember that Loki's one of the reasons Volstagg is here, so really, that's a good thing. He seems pretty open on partners. Can probably ask Thor." Or one of the others. Tony had always figured Cap would be more into women, but hey, who was he to judge if he wanted a Viking warrior instead?

Thor thought  about it for a minute.  He kenw and by the love of God knew that Loki was being right. He found himself calm and collected.  He was deeply rooted  with fear because it was unknown  territory.  Thannos did fear Odin,  that made sense  he was in no got fate to warn such  a threat as much as he hated to admiit it.  He didn't  want a repeat  of the Frost Giants.

Thor leaned against  Loki  as he heard Volstagg had gone to e bathroom. "We'd  get this sparring  match,  at least it might make me tired  enough to sleep and think  rationally  again.  I haven't  been able to sleep."  Not only that he was worried about his own affairs  but everyone  else's. Especially Lokis  but knowing  that he didn't  have to rush  into things eased his body and mind.

"I think despite  what Volstagg  is saying, as much as I hate to admit it. I think I'm  going to take this as a holiday from fighting. This sparring match  will determine me.  I want you to challenge  me each trimester  if I  feel like my mind is racing  again.  I feel that is the only way.  Even if its not properly sparring  "

It took a lot of Thor to accept that.  He wanted the safety  of his family.  Then the real  match begins  with father.. He thought. Fandral felt the ease of relief and thanked quietly  to Loki.

" If Thors  like this now he's going  to hate  it when he's like Volstagg. Particularly  cravings. "
--
"He just seems different.  When you've  lived as long as I have different  is good. I think that's the problem.  Being a winter soldier  doesn't  exactly  like. Selling point.  I tried  to do a random hook up, but once they knew I was old enough  to be their grandfather.  Well,  you can imagine  how that went down."  Steve commented.

" Hey I'd  swing by  Volstagg  room and try and get him alone I don't think he's the shy type and plus he's seems  pretty  confident. " Nat spoke.

"jarvis where the boys now?"  she asked.  Cap didn't  know how  Volstagg would respond properly make Volstagg  feel some what normal.  Cap was still  anxious about approaching.

The thought of sparring each trimester wasn't a pleasant one, though he knew Thor wouldn't be able to do too much during any of them. "So far as it won't harm our child or children." Loki agreed on that condition. As time went on, Thor may change his mind about fighting. Actually carrying their children at that size may make him realize how foolish it'd be to fight like that. They'd wait and see.

"Are you trying to get him riled up again?" Loki drawled at Frandal. "I can still let him take his frustrations out on you." It was hard to tell if he was teasing or not. He'd just saved Frandal from Thor's fearful wrath, and weakened or not, he was still a God and Frandal was not. Loki agreed to be the one to spar him because he was a God and most likely the one who could beat him right now. It would, however, be amusing to watch him take out the Warriors two. He wouldn't touch Volstagg at the moment.

--

"You'd think no one would care past the 'Captain America' bit." Tony shrugged, stating it how it was. Some people just wanted a celebrity.

"All of our Asguardian guests are currently in Sir Volstagg's room, though I believe Prince Thor and Prince Loki will be having a sparring match after breakfast."

"Sparring match? What's that about?" Tony asked.

"Prince Thor seems to be rather anxious to act before the pregnancy progresses too far. The others are trying to convince him otherwise. The spar is to determine his actions. Should Prince Loki win, he will not try to assume the throne until after he's recovered from giving birth. If he wins he will try for the throne before he reaches second trimester."

Tony was frowning before the end of that first sentence there. "I knew Thunder-Cat was stubborn, but damn. Well, here's your chance, Steve. You're rooting for Loki here. Come on." Not about to miss this, Tony headed back for the elevator, fully intending on taking Steve with him down to Volstagg's room for a two birds one stone kind of deal.

[Silver_Lady]

Fandral smirked at Loki it was getting easier to jest with the male. He showed anxious but he had better chance at defeating Thor at this point even at his own level and skill set. Thor was a confident fighter, a warrior at heart. He would do anything to ensure what he had to do was done. There wasn't a choice in given up. He knew that Thor was being ridiculous but once he had an idea into his head that was it.

"Point proven point proven. " Fandral showed his hands in sign of favour of peace. "Just how much of Thor's power would he be able to use? would using thunder or any of his powers would hurt the babies?" Fandral asked both Loki and Thor.  "And Thor, please stop this if this gets too much. Just know when to give in okay? don't let yourself run ragged." Fandral commented.

"I'm not lost all my strength you know, if we were under attack I  would anything in my power to protect."  Thor commented he didn't like people thinking that he couldn't protect or his power could be relied on. With a simple hand he out-stretched it and summoned Mjölnir.

"One thing is to mistake me as weak brother. Even if it's against all odds." Thor reminded even though he had no clue of he could defeat and force Loki into submissive. 

To be quite frankly he knew his body wasn't up to it but he couldn't back down from it he needed it out of his system. He knew that Loki wanted nothing but the best for his family and knew he wouldn't endanger them. But hopefully that would trigger that part of him that  would respond to danger. Even though by far that Loki wasn't a threat but he had to think about his children growing in side of him and that was an unusual dilemma to be in.

"Should we have rules?" Hogun asked. "Only hands no powers kind of thing?" Hogun asked. "We will wait for Volstagg and we'd make our way to the training grounds." Hogun said.

"If you guys want to head towards the training grounds, I will wait with Volstagg if you'd like?" Hogun offered. Thor had already started to make his way as he looked at Loki trying to hide his own concern as if he was doing the right thing or not. He already had it in his mind who was going to win but he wasn't going to admit it just yet.
--

"Yes, Tony but my title only gets me so far. I want it to be real rather than just a fling." Steve said he was anxious that he was going to be near Volstagg, with Tony blabbering he needed to get laid. He wasn't quite convinced that Tony would keep his big mouth shut.

"I ask that you take this with care Tony." Steve wasn't 100% sure. "This is rather a delicate matter, something I haven't done before. " Asking a random person to get the urges out of his system. His mood was prickly at best and was short tempered which was unlike Steve.

"I don't think Loki will deliberately hurt Thor, he is the father of the child/children. Do you think it will wise? what if Thor gets out of hand? determined to win?  it will be interesting to see how Thor handles it." Steve was worried about the babies.

"The gods are a different level to us but Loki isn't stupid. He will know how to handle Thor and probably the only one that can give Thor a run for his money and hopefully have the common sense to back down." Nat spoke.

"Don't worry Cap, we will wing man you. Right Tony?" Nat smirked a little. "I know your concerns but I wouldn't be worried once Thor has it out of his system perhaps Tony can limit Thor's duties. It's not like we can take Mjölnir away from him to stop him from using his powers. "  Nat mused.

"Hey Clint, come to watch the fight?" Noticing her friend. "You wouldn't want to miss this."

[Tachi]

Irritation crossed Loki and with a bit of magic he 'pulled the rug' out from under Frandal and sent him crashing to the ground. There was no rug, but the effect was the same, punishing the man for continuing to rile up Thor even after he'd just conceded to the point not to. Loki kissed Thor, ignoring the others for a moment, and bit the man's lip for bringing him into the argument and assuming his stance. He wasn't wrong, Thor was weakened right now, but the connotation behind it was incorrect.

"You can practice on him." He stated. He had warned Frandal.

"Wait for Volstagg on what?" Volstagg returned from the bathroom to find Frandal on the ground and Thor and Loki still in an embrace. He raised his brows and highly suspected Loki as the culprit. "Somehow I doubt if Thor's truly in danger he'll be able to stop from using his powers. There should be some innate protection for the babes. It's better to find out now rather than later." As horrible as that was, if a miscarriage was to happen, better to happen before bonds grew between mother and child than after.

"No." Loki said, stopping Thor with a hand to his chest. "Sit down. You promised me you'd eat first." It'd be hard to spar if Loki refused to oppose him, so Thor didn't have much of a choice but to listen.

"The food will be here soon, Sirs."

--

"Alright, alright." Tony said, putting a pause on his teasing and riling up of Cap. "For the record, I appreciate it more when someone gets the point across that they're just out for a fun time. Doesn't leave me guessing what the extra motive is." Of course Volstagg wasn't the same celebrity type, but he hung out with Thor, so who knew how it went in Asgard.

"Loki gave Nat a run around in the ring at the end. Thor can see through his illusions but Loki knows him a lot better. He probably has a whole gameplay in mind." When they got to the floor, it was the same time as the other elevator and Tony peered inside to see a bunch of food. Making a noise to get the others attention, he picked up some of it, giving the bulk to the super-strong Cap--"Volstagg likes his food." He said with a wink--and went up to the man's door to knock on it.

"Special delivery!" When it opened he continued, "Hey, mind if we come in? We brought food! Oh, and Jarvis ratted you two out." He said, gesturing between Thor and Loki.

[Silver_Lady]

Thor looked at Fandral one minute he was standing the next he floored it when Loki when he saw that Fandral was already on the ground before Fandral got up he smirked a little as he then decided to put Mjölnir on to Fandral's chest as punishment. Fandral already started struggling with just Mjölnir alone, he had already pinned his target in place.

"Surprise, Surprise I won. " Thor spoke. His mood dampened further with the idea that he could miscarriage maybe this was the warrior's way of making sure that he didn't let that happen. His mother instincts came in sharp without him realising it. He didn't think he had a connection to the child or children, but the the thought of that and the reality of that was kicking in. So far, his mind had thought this was a dream, rather than his new reality of sorts. He just assumed that it wasn't really happening to him because the symptoms were mild or to none at all accept his stomach was unsettled.

Thor obliged Loki's order and sat down on the sofa, rubbed the corner of his eyes. He wondered if the nausea was more stress related rather than pregnancy he didn't know. The thought of miscarriage scared him more than he realised. He rubbed the lower part of his stomach subtly.

"Wait I'm not ready" Steve wasn't sure if he could cope with Tony's blunt tendencies and Nat winding him up playing him on his emotions. He was so straight laced, hated swearing and was very old-fashioned when it came to courting. He didn't know if Volstagg would feel the same way. He just hoped that Tony treaded carefully with it and not make him feel like a fool.

When Tony announced their arrival with food, Nat had some bags and followed Cap into the apartment. Steve went over to the table and placed the food down followed by Nat and of course Tony. Steve had pulled a chair out. "Why don't you sit here Volstagg? it's good to see you. "Steve commented briefly trying to hide his awkwardness around getting Volstagg's attention only earning a smirk of response of 'is that the best you can do?' kind of smirk.

Steve looked at Volstagg and eyed and warning Natasha and Tony to behave themselves.  Luckily the attention was on Thor for the moment.

"When are you going to stop Sulking Thor?" Nat asked bluntly as she sat next to him.

"The God of Thunder doesn't brood or Sulk."  Thor eyed Nat. "It is not wise to test me right now Widow." Thor was normally polite and casual but the tone was filled with 'don't fuck with me' kind of attitude.

"Eh Thor a little help?" Who was trying to get Mjölnir of his chest but couldn't move after being pinned by it. "Ah yes of course." Thor mentioned before he summoned Mjölnir back to his hand and placed it on his knee playing with the leather strap in deep thought.
