Topic: Thunder and Mischief (Tachi & Silver_Lady)

[Tachi]

Loki-Thor frowned slightly, having to keep his true feelings of disgust hidden. It'd be such a waste to keep a warrior like Thor housebound like a servant. Why do such a thing when you could have him at your side, at your call? All that raw power. Kurse was a fool. "Being a warrior is all I've known. I cannot say I see myself as anything else." It was unfortunate that Thor was trying not to upset the suitors. There was slight shifting to show he wasn't entirely comfortable with the topic.

A firm frown settled on his face over, well, the talk of himself, knowing his brother. His voice became stern and full of warning. "I have already warned you, Kurse, not to speak against Loki. Blood or not, he is my brother and an Asgardian Prince. You will do well to remember that." Small arcs of lightning connected over his arms before he took a breath and calmed himself.  The man only continued though and Loki-Thor glanced at the hand on his knee, wishing to stab it for daring to touch what he even thought was his mate. Instead he had to make a soft inhale, demeanor changing to uncertainty and more submissive.

A small omegan whine escaped him, Loki-Thor mimicking the noise spot on with his changed vocal cords. "He is my brother." He repeated, though sounding slightly less certain, which he knew is exactly what Kurse wanted. It'd be so easy to take his dagger and slit his throat. Tony would forgive him about the carpet. Nervously clearing his throat, he said. "There's good people here on Midguard. My friends who've helped me and so many interesting things. It's my duty to protect them."

--

Leaning over, there wasn't too much room and his large stomach ended up bumping Thor's head as he touched the man's stomach, letting him guide him and being gentle, more for the mother's sake.  There was a soft smile on his face at the special gift he was being given. "Oh, terrified. Of course I didn't know I was pregnant for a while. Must be why Rolfe came out so odd--Don't tell him I said that." He chuckled. He was more of a Bard than a warrior. "And I didn't have a mate nor plan on it." So he'd be on his own to have his children, as he did with all of the following ones.

"Once those babes are born, you'll know exactly who stole your energy, because they'll always have it and you'll just want to take a nap." Thor had to get out of the habit of thinking he had to take on everything himself. "Don't worry though, a few months in and you'll stop feeling as drained."

"Loki opening up and talking, who'd have guessed." The only one he could see him doing it for is Thor. With a smile and a soft chuckle, he said, "You're starting to sound like a king. It's going to be a privilege to serve under you." Him and even Loki. Noting that he wouldn't be with him for much longer, Volstagg went into the tale of his date with Steve, leaving out the attack for now and only speaking of the pleasant parts so he could sleep peacefully.

--

In Volstagg's room, Jarvis responded, "Sir Volstagg is currently in Prince Thor's room, Mr. Rogers. Prince Thor requires assistance and has since fallen asleep on Sir Volstagg's lap, if you'd like to see him. I wouldn't, however, recommend getting close to Prince Thor currently without Prince Loki present."

[Silver_Lady]

Kurse smiled at the 'back chat' that he'd over look...For now. Right now he needed to manipulate Thor. "It's not so bad, you'd get used to it I'd provide for you." He smiled wider in annoyance at Thor's response of Loki being an Asguardian. He was clearly digging his heels into the idea of Loki being around and obviously really respected him. Which was a problem, the doted partner.

"I know you must hate me for thinking this way, I'm old fashioned. I am only following your father's orders." He smirked a little confidently as if he would win Thor over. "You'd find a nice settlement pretty much like that..'whore' Volstagg. Who just sleeps with anyone he's fine with it so you will." He smiled as he brought as he stood up. "You'd learn to cooperate with me." He stroked Thor's chin and brought it, then his hand went to the lock of hair, his hand feeling the ends of the strand hair before he grabbed a chunk of it forcing Thor's head closer to his." you'd do well to listen to me, Thor. I am the boss here. You will do 'well' to remember that.'"  Mimicking his own words. "You'd learn not to talk back to your betters. Clearly Loki had given you the idea of freedom of speech, but you'd learn." He smiled as he brought the strand of hair forcefully to his lips, to make every move look affectionate for the camera. But deliberately introduced pain. It was soft, subtle warning.--
--
Steve raised an eyebrow he had nodded towards Jarvis knowing that he would know that he'd see it. He went and headed up towards where the God's floor was. He took head of Jarvis' warning about being close to Thor, he didn't mind Thor being affectionate towards  him, being an omega Thor probably needed a pet talk about over doing it.

Knocking softly so Volstagg could hear he smiled towards the two. "I didn't know if you wanted food bringing." Noticed that Thor was passed out asleep relaxing next to Volstagg his body was shivering he gave some deep coughs. Steve gave a puzzled stare he remained at a fair distance so he didn't disturb Thor.

"I can get you anything that you want? did you want me to take Thor to his bedroom?" Steve asked knowing that Volstagg couldn't do it.  "He's not very well is he?" Steve asked he hadn't never seen Thor so wrecked. He had always been strong and independent.

[Tachi]

Another frown, uncomfortable with how things were going.  "Volstagg is loyal friend and a fierce warrior, please don't speak such words about him." The frown remained as Loki-Thor's chin was tilted, though uncertain. He winced and whined again shortly, cut off by Kurse's words of warning. He acted like he didn't know what to do, being taken over by omegan instinct. Conflict was clear on the outside, on the inside Loki was recalculating just low long he could put up with Kurse's completely unsubtle bullshit.

"Please cease your actions at once and step away from Prince Thor or I will be forced to call down reinforcements." Jarvis interrupted, far more sternly than had been his interactions thus far. "Mr. Stark has warned you what should happen should you put Prince Thor under duress." And the omegan God had clearly been whining and was uncomfortable.

--

Volstagg had trailed off sometime after he was certain Thor was asleep, gently removing his hand from his stomach so he could sit up properly again, and petting the man's hair like he'd do for one of his kids. Soothing and reassuring. He wasn't too surprised when someone knocked on the door, and perhaps even less to see that it was Steve. He gave him a smile, though he didn't know if Thor would react well to another Alpha being around without Loki here with him.

"Looks like Kurse's set on disturbing things today." He looked back to Thor when he started coughing, shifting around to trying to get the blanket back on him without jostling him too much.  There was a headshake on the first question. "No, that wouldn't be wise. He's not doing well without Loki beside him. I don't think he'd react well to another Alpha touching him." Another headshake as he looked back to him. "He's sick, physically and with stress and worry. These suitors aren't good for him. I don't know if he can handle it at this rate. He just keeps wearing himself out."

Loki could handle it, but Thor may need him too much to let him. "He could miscarry from the stress alone." It'd be devastating to both of them.

[Silver_Lady]

Kurse heard Jarvis's warning as he looked towards Thor. "Merely given the Asguardian affection, your computer system wouldn't be aware of that isn't that right Thor? Come, we should leave this place. I need to bite you and get this over with, we can't do it here with that Ai watching us." Kurse smiled, he was clearly trying to manipulate Thor. His lit up a little, it wasn't...mind control per say a "little percussion."

"So Jarvis is it? what exactly happens if I break the rules? banish me from the tower? or tie me up like how you treated Vanrad, that man was an idiot. " Insulted by the computer's comment. He was tired of being restricted ideally he wanted to take Thor and go back to Asguard. But he doubted whilst the warrior 3 being here, he doubted that Stark or...Loki for that matter would let him. But no one was around and how much did that computer had control over him? Thor was weak and pitiful under his command in his mind, forgetting he was a full class warrior that could handle himself, strictly speaking not even Thor.

Kurse smirked and grabbed the wrist forcefully tired of not getting his own way. "Come Thor we're going back, Heimdall will bring us back. You have no say in the matter, I'm tired of being insulted by this computer." He was grabbing the wrist tightly enough to get Thor onto his feet. "You don't want to be 'punished' by me right? you want to please your Alpha. Odin wants it. Do you really have ling-way to disrespect your father? after all you done? you pretty much wasted your genes by not mating." He slapped the God of thunder across the face clearly lost his cool. Being around Thor irritated him.
--

The real Thor relaxed again after he found warmth despite his body was being hot he seemed to found his comfy spot on the couch as he went closer to Volstagg sensing another Alpha near by he made a whine, a whine that meant either back off or seeking his own Alpha knowing that the Alpha around him wasn't Loki, not the real one anyway. "My job comes with it's fault unfortunately, letting someone in and taking that or even sharing that is difficult for me. I'm trying." Thor was hearing the conversation.

"Steve I'd like to you leave don't take this the wrong way, but you make me uncomfortable without Loki." Thor mentioned briefly, he felt prickled by Steve's prescience. He didn't know why he considered Steve as a friend. He knew he had only romantic interest for Volstagg knowing that he was destined to be paired with Loki.

"I'm sorry." Thor mentioned. "If you want to go for your date don't let me get in the way." Thor sensed that Steve wanted to be alone with Volstagg. He forced himself up wards. "I will be fine Volstagg." He murmured feeling bad for getting the way of their already interrupted date.

"Nonsense Thor, you're not getting the way I was just making sure that Volstagg was okay when I didn't see him in the room. Jarvis told me and wondered if he needed any dinner making or ordered." Steve reassured. "I understand Jarvis did warn me so I will respect that."

[Tachi]

"My systems are able to determine the difference between manipulation and affection. You will not be taking Prince Thor out of this building." Well aware this was Loki and not the actual Thor, Jarvis was still programed to protect the Avengers and their guests, of which both Princes were. If Kurse attempted such a thing he would engage in a full scale lock down of the building.

Loki-Thor pulled back and stood up, "This is now things were supposed to go..." Still uncertain and looking for guidance, but inside Loki was raging that he dared thing that he could bite his mate. "Please, let's just take things slowly."

"This behavior is unacceptable." Jarvis was speaking to Kurse but of course the man in question wasn't listening.

There was no normal way Thor would be pulled anywhere by someone lesser than him, but Kurse was an idiot. Did he not remember he was bound to his brother? Where did he think he'd go on his own? Loki-Thor whined as if in fear and pain but his other hand moving closer in a concealed motion, ready to summon his remaining dagger if needed. The slap reminded him of Vanrad and the thought of someone hitting his pregnant mate was enraging.

Calmly, Jarvis said, "I believe Mr. Stark would forgive the transgression, Sir." He was not speaking to Kurse.

Loki understood this. With very quick movements he had the dagger buried deep in Kurse's stomach, thrusting up and twisting. Asgardians had thick skin and organs but Loki was much stronger and more powerful. He cut him open. When the shock of that caused Kurse's grip to loosen, Loki knocked him to the floor and brought the dagger to his throat instead. "Amateur." He was still speaking in Thor's voice. "You will never have my mate. Die with the knowledge that you're just as bad as Vanrad." There was no hesitation in slashing his throat. Blood sprayed over him and the ground. He magicked it off him.

"Asgardians can come back from quite a lot. Do have Stark make sure he's dead." Loki-Thor instructed Jarvis before heading out of the room.

"Of course, Prince Loki."

--

Way up in the labs, "He did what?!" Tony felt a little bit of panic coming on. He had a dead Asgardian in his meeting room. Well, that took care of the suitor problem. Now there was the potentially pissed off King of Asgard problem. "Okay, alright. I'm going to need another cube. J, make it good." He didn't pay his cleaning staff enough. They were going to need a bonus. Actually, he should put in that call to Fury he'd been avoiding. But they really needed to move the body. "J, inform Nat about the situation. We need her sneaky expertise here."

--

"You must be driving Loki crazy, friend, sleeping without really sleeping like that." Waking up to the smallest thing. He heard the protests and reassurances, but, "I don't want to just leave you alone, Thor." Steve understood that. It was a hard time for him, even if it meant they'd spent less time together. This was a mite more important at the moment.

What none of them expected though was for another Thor to come walking in just then, smelling faintly of blood. Loki dropped the illusions and transformation, assuming his real form again and went to Thor, for the moment ignoring the others. He sat down next to him on his other side and kissed him firmly. "That idiot was in ways worse than Vanrad." Loki declared with disgust. "It's over now."

"What happened, Loki?" It obviously wasn't just a talk. Volstagg was looking him over with mild concern.

The God's eyes flickered to him, but his attention remained on Thor. "I killed him."

[Silver_Lady]

Kurse wished he had the ability to see a few seconds a head that would've been a handy novelty to have with regards to how he was going to die. The only painful part of his death was the hands of the person he admired, detested the most. In his finale moments, he saw the one person he didn't wish to see. A cruel smile edged his lips as he died taken his finale breath, to his credit he didn't scream didn't try to avoid it he accepted Loki played his cards well unfortunately Kurse lost. With such a really good illusion even fooled himself which showed that he had a lot to learn which didn't matter now because he was dead.
--

Nat was already on her way at the scene of the crime they should've expected this but Loki had been keeling his temper for a long time, the guy had all the wrong vibes.  She came down and looked at the body that was laying where the boys well, Loki had stabbed. "Jarvis  can you tell me how Kurse handled the situation? do you have any clips of him actually physically abusing Thor that might of triggered this? if so we can make it look like self-defence rather than Loki loosing his temper." Nat informed. "He really did a number on you." Nat investigated the body. "I'm going to need some help removing it."
--

Thor was in shock when he saw himself  again he didn't know whether to be relieved or concerned he was snapped back into reality when Loki had kissed him his body went back into shock again trying to process the fact that he just killed Kurse. "Oh shit." Thor was scared. Even though Odin did say that if none of the suitors did well, that he could reject them, but he didn't know how Odin would feel if Loki had killed him, only important means necessary.

"Are you trying to start a war?" Thor was worried. He was greatly relieved that he didn't have to deal with Kurse anymore. He gave him bad vibes. "Oh shit." Thor repeated. "He's really going to be pissed off now." Techinically Loki had did the honourable thing but he had also committed a crime.

"You do realise whatever you did happens to me." Thor mentioned meaning committed a crime, he did something. Thor didn't know what to do. He panicked as he forced himself up right to begin pacing." I'd go to Asguard and explain it that it was self defence. Ah shit." Kurse was a git, but he wasn't supposed to die, or be killed.
 
"I can't handle this." Thor muttered.  On one side he was very VERY grateful that he didn't have to handle him but his other side knew the consequences. He rubbed his lower stomach. "I'm grateful Loki, I really am don't take me wrong I'm just scared for the consequences of actually killing him, we spared Vanrad."

[Tachi]

"Of course, Ms. Romanoff, I recorded the entire incident. I'd be happy to help." There was a tv in the meeting room that he took over. Jarvis went ahead and turned it on. "I will send the request for assistance." A reply of certain highlights were shown on it, ones of Kurse threatening whom he thought was Thor, stating what he planned on doing with him, and in the end slapping him.

"Were Prince Loki not posing as Prince Thor, I believe he would've been in eminent danger."

--

"Calm, Love." Loki soothed, not nearly as worried, though there was a lot of possibilities to consider. In the moment it had slipped his mind that Thor was to take the blame for his crimes, which was a foolish trade to make, but this was not just some fancy he'd taken. "It was self defense." Sort of, given that he'd been Thor at the time.

"What foolish deal are you talking about now?" Volstagg voiced in the background. Taking the punishment for Loki's crimes?

Again with the pacing. Loki got up and took him into his arms, interrupting his movements. "He'd not changed at all, brother. He'd wanted to isolate and control you. It escalated so quickly because he tried to take you from the building and bite you. The fool wanted to return to Asgard with you as his prize, forgetting we're bound. Though I admit I may have snapped when he became physical abusive, thinking of you." One hand moved to join Thor's at his stomach.

"If I may, Sirs, I have the whole event recorded as well as the previous evidence of Kurse's other crimes. Mr. Stark is already on putting the correct spin on this. It may not be as you fear. Prince Loki clearly acted in defense of his mate."

Volstagg pushed himself off the couch, going to stand next to Steve, as it was clear the couple might need some time alone soon. "You were considering naming yourself the third suiter and coming clean about all of this. Defending your mate is a pardonable offense." He suggested. "And no offense, Thor, but I'm not sure you can take dealing with another suitor."

Loki growled at the thought of it, not wanting anyone else near his mate. What he wanted was to bite Thor and declare to Odin that he was his, but was that the best direction to take? Looking at Thor, Volstagg was right in that he couldn't take much more going down this same path. For the sake of his mate, making the declaration and sticking close together might be what was best for both of them.

[Silver_Lady]

"Perfect send it to Tony so he can see the footage and we can begin the process, I'd get someone to lift him." Nat had gloves on to hide any potential finger prints "Actually can you send for Clint as well? I need his thoughts on it." Nat was over Kurse's body she had already covered his face. She needed someone else to talk to. 

"Hello what's this." Nat found a piece of paper on Kurse's pocket it was a detailed plan of the previous attack of the time scheduled following Volstagg's and Steve's date. A metal pole it was small hand-held device. It was deactivated. "Jarvis just exam this for me please? I have found a piece of paper that could be evidence, not sure what this metal thing is." Nat spoke holding it with caution.
-

Thor sighed heavily he was getting too old for all this crap. With the threaten of miscarriage he tried to calm himself down. "I thought it would help Loki's case. I said I would give my freedom so Loki would have his, I wasn't lying what I said earlier Volstagg. You know how desperate I can be when it comes to this one here." Thor burised his head into Loki's shoulder.

"I thought father would feel safer with him being bound to me with the bracelet,  I thought it might help persuade Loki to behave himself if he knew that anything he did he would think twice about what will happen to me. I was trying to help Loki change so people  can accept him and see what I see of him." Thor knew it was stupid and he gave so much but he knew he wouldn't be able to cope alone. Especially with kids on the way, everything just zapped his energy. The fact that he killed Kurse well, he was grateful and felt like celebrating. Volstagg was right he couldn't handle another male touching him or trying to court him if it wasn't his brother.

"What is it with people trying to treat me like a prize? or the idea of thinking I could be easily detained or a stupid male that can't defend for himself? I'm a one man army just by my pure strength alone. " This is why he loved Loki because he can see through him, knew him. He knew what he was capable of and didn't restrain him from doing so.


"Is that even an option? Technically Loki was an Asgardian in his father's eyes and his own eyes. It didn't even dawn on him that that was the case. "No, I don't think I can handle another manipulated male. Right now I'm at the very thick of my Miguard-version of a cold and it's brutally challenging me with the kids on the way I can dread to think what would happen and the idea of Loki having to deal with my shit well.." Thor didn't like that idea. "I have a feeling I'm going to get very, very needy and I hate that and love it at the same time."

"At least we don't have to deal with Kurse." Thor mentioned. "I would've killed the bastard myself." Thor knew that Kurse was capable.

"It might be pardonable offense.. but I do need to speak with Odin. Not about taking the throne but to clear things up with Kurse. Soon as I'm fit to travel I will get my jobs done first, maybe hide from Odin travelling the 9 realms." Thor bit his lip nervously.

"I think we shall head off don't you? let leave the boys some peace of mind.  Remember Thor you aren't alone and you gotta remember you're not just a one man army anymore. " Steve approached the two but mindful of Loki's space. "If you need protection or you need someone to vouch for you. Regardless of your circumstances you're always welcomed here, trust me you're going to need everyone. With kids on the way think of this now as a happy period. Celebrate. Don't think about work or what will happen about Kurse, because we got your back and Tony no doubt is ensuring your safety." Steve was trying to help Thor's stress Thor just nodded he backed a little when Steve approached but his shoulders relaxed when he realised he wasn't needed to be that close.

He returned to Volstagg. "Goodnight you to, we'd probably be having a meeting and I think Nat might need help removing the you know what." Steve smiled as he escorted Volsatgg. "Come on I'd treat you to some home-cooked meal. "Steve smiled.
-

[Tachi]

"Mr. Barton is still currently out of the building but I will send word that he is needed." Clint was usually gone for a few days, up to a week, but when he was called in he returned early. No one knew of his family but Nat, they just thought he was called in by SHIELD for various reasons.

Jarvis did what he could to scan the device Nat held but there wasn't much he could do in this room. "I'm unable to determine the usage or origin at this time. Perhaps the Princes would know what it is, or it can be brought up to the labs for scanning."

--

"Sir Frandal, Sir Hogan, Sorry to disturb you, but Ms. Romanoff is in need of assistance. Prince Loki has disposed of Kurse and she needs help moving the body as well as identifying an unknown item he has on him. If you could please come down to the main floor meeting room. The others are currently busy."

--

"It's quite annoying how you consider someone sniffing around my mate to still be considered 'your shit' alone to deal with." Loki drawled with a small scowl to express his displeasure over this continued behavior. Thor was already very needy in comparison to his usual self. Loki had the feeling that he wouldn't want to be separated from him after a while. At all.

"Technically you did. Kill him yourself." Loki corrected.

Volstagg was nervous for the pair, wanting things to be alright for them. He agreed with Steve though that this was their discussion now. Loki watched Steve and moved more in front of Thor when his mate backed up, but there was nothing further to the incident. "Recover from the cold. Get your strength back up. There's no point in going anywhere if you're collapsing all the time." He bid them goodnight, heading out with Steve and shutting their door.

"How are you feeling right now?" He inquired, wanting to know if there was anything he needed. There was the glint in his eyes that said he had something on his mind/that he was up to something, but Loki never outright said what it was right away.

--

Outside the door, the Viking looking man shook his head, "Even in death he's annoying." Though it was technically Loki who'd left the mess. "Home-cooked now is it?" He asked, expressing interest.

"I've requested Sirs Frandal and Hogan to assist Ms. Romanoff if you'd like to continue your date. I believe a meeting can wait until tomorrow." Jarvis suggested helpfully.

"Thank you, Jarvis. I don't know how this place would run without you!" Volstagg praised, grateful to be able to spend more time with Steve and that everything went so smoothly thanks to the AI who definitely seemed to have his own intelligence.

"Nor do I. Thank you, Sir Volstagg."

Volstagg laughed at that. "I don't think my room is stocked at all. Does that I mean I get to see your room this time?" He wondered if it was as 'vintage' as Steve was.

[Silver_Lady]

"That's right Clint is back at the farm, that's annoying but she knew Clint was very family orientated. "Don't bother him then I'd send him a text and inform him later, I hate to disturb his family time." Nat thought. Clint had barely enough time with his family as it was she'd hate to take him from that time from him. He'd be back in the building soon anyway.
--

"No worries we'd be right there."  They had to debate how to get rid of the body.  Both of them headed down towards the meeting room. "Tell her we'd be right with her." Well that lasted long no doubt Loki had done it. The boys were secretly glad that Kurse was dealt with within the few minutes after using the elevators the boys were within the meeting room. "Oh." Hogun spoke noticed that Loki's handy work. "I don't think king odin need's to see the body we can just burn the body and cremate it. We normally have a different way of disposing the body but to be honest? he's not worth anything. I don't think Odin would care how it's done." Frandal walked to the side of the boot.

Hogun took the shoulders. "Nat if you would kindly get the doors? what's that in your hand?" He noticed as he took a glimpse of the metal stick, to anyone else that would look like nothing. Not taking the shoulder's just yet he walked over. He released the device that was capable of hurting Gods and with most likely intentional of using Thor.

"He used magic so Jarvis wouldn't inspect it, it's a very old term of getting omegas to behave we haven't used this method in centuries. Odin forbid it this will be enough to clear Thor and Loki if we give this to Odin." Hogun showed how lethal the weapon to be it activated with sparks of the pole. "The will of the user can inflict a God with this kind of metal. Definetely need to show Loki this." Hogun nodded to Frandal.

"I haven't seen them in ages. Jarvis now that it's activated you should be able to examine how lethal it is if Thor or Loki were to touch it. It does incredible damage and able to leave a scar. " He could feel it's power now that it's activated.  The boys looked at each other.

"What is Kurse thinking of doing to Thor? with it? most like likely bend him into submission that away that will be enough to clear Loki  justifying him as well even more." Nat. "Jarvis inform the prince's and Stark if you don't mind we can send that along with the Cube. Ask Loki what we should do with it, we don't want it to be in the wrong hands."  Placing the item down deceiving it into a smaller pole again after when Jarvis had a chance to exam in the boys had lifted Kurse and taking it out the back.

Nat had taking the liberty of getting the doors so the boys didn't struggle. "I would ask Loki if he wanted to do the honours of cremating but he's got his hands full. She had thought about the options of getting rid of the body that it wouldn't draw attention to the tower. 

"Come on boys I'd take you to the medical unit and then I'd discuss with Tony what would be the proper way of getting rid of it at least we'd get rid of dealing with him." The boys followed Nat which was the medical bay Nat had left the boys with the body as she went to get a proper sterilized medical carrying cart and a body bag. She had went down their first to retrieve the things she needed before she went back to the meeting room with the trolley. Hogun and Frandal had lifted the body on to the cart and placed it into the body bag.

Pushing the trolley the boys escorted her to the medical unit. At least they didn't have to look at Kurse anymore. Nat had asked the boys to lift them on to the tray of cold storage She opened one of units and placed Kurse's body within it. She had done all the necessary things to record his death.  She closed the door and let out a sigh of that job was done. "Thank you boys, it's not the nicest job in the world even if he was a jerk."
-
Thor thought about Loki's answer. Technically he did kill him without the expense of dealing with Kurse. He didn't know what to do but he felt the release of his stress knowing he hadn't had to deal with Kurse anymore. Just the threat of his father's reaction. But been as Thor was treated poorly by Kurse and everything that went against him he didn't know why Odin was choosing poor suitors to begin with was it a test?  Was it just to get rid of people he didn't know what to do with?

Thor wondered about it for a second. His arms went around Loki's shoulders. "What were you intending? there are lots of things I want now. If anything I want you to be my mate properly I don't want another male touching me. I just want to be with you and just forget that today ever happened. "

"What is it that you're thinking?" He asked tilted his head curiously. "Thank you for getting rid of Kurse, Loki. I'm sorry that you had to deal with it. I've been so used to dealing with everything myself that I forget that I have you by myside who is more than capable, being an omega has made me strange. Now that I'm pregnant I just don't want to be away from you." Thor murmured softly.
-

Steve smiled awkwardly he never thought about showing Volstagg his room. "Of course if that's what you'd like? Tony has been trying to get me to update it for years but I like it it's cosy." Steve commented as he escorted Volstagg to his room. "I will warn you this is from my time period, most of the others make fun of me for it but I find it nostalgic."

"Sorry if I interrupted your moment with Thor I was concerned. " Steve smiled with a corner -kiss, it was a brave move for Steve since he let Volstagg lead majority of the time when they wanted to be intimate. "I don't know how I will cope when you go back." He grinned at the male." I'd be like a mother-hen."

[Tachi]

"Calculating the potential damage output. Type of metal unknown. Highly unrecommended to leave around Prince Loki and especially Prince Thor." Jarvis responded, using what little data he had to predict the maximum damage that could be inflicted. The AI had to take the word of the two Asgardians as to what happened when a God touched the metal.

--

"Then we are finally starting to think in common." Loki too wanted all of those things. He still had his own things to deal with, but when he was separated from Thor, his thoughts turned to him and he wanted to return. It was somewhat annoying for the usually very independent man. What he got in exchange though made it well worth it and he knew it wouldn't always be the same as this. The pregnancy just drew them together for protection.

"The crown can wait. This cannot: Come," He beckoned, drawing him back so he could lead him to the bedroom. "I want to claim you as my mate." Complete the bond between them and make it so no one else could try to get between them. Loki only wanted to make sure his mate had the energy for it.

"I really do hate to interrupt, but if I could have a moment."

Loki growled at Jarvis, "I'm starting to not appreciate your interruptions."

"My apologies, Sir. However a certain item was found on Kurse and Sirs Hogan and Frandal believe it should come to your attention. They referred to it as a 'forbidden weapon used to control omegas' that can 'scar a God'. They would like your opinion on what to do with it."

A deeper growl tore its way from Loki's throat. He had that on him and planned on using it on his mate?! He wished he'd dragged it out longer now, really made him suffer. He was well versed in torture now. "Have them take it back." Loki bit out. "Throw it at Odin's feet." As a clear message. These suitors were dangerous and Odin was a fool, and if for some reason the man provided the weapon? He'd make sure he suffered for it.

"No one else comes in here, Jarvis." As angry as he was over this, his hand did not turn harsh against Thor. It was hard to imagine such a thing a short while ago but he was feeling fiercely protective. Mine. He wanted to mate with him now.

--

"Prince Loki has requested, and I quote, to 'Throw it at Odin's feet'. He has also requested privacy for the rest of the evening." Jarvis informed Frandal, Hogan, and Natasha. "Considering the circumstances, would you like me to place an order for tonight's dinner?"

Tony, meanwhile, was pretty busy. He'd built the case for the scepter and put it inside, locking it up so it was all ready to go and no one had to touch it. Now he'd just heard about this new weapon. One that could burn a god. What the hell? His immediate question was if Loki had been hurt, which he hadn't. But hell if that wasn't a surprise. It pissed him off that it was just some tool to tame omegas and he really didn't blame Loki for stabbing the guy now. A new carpet wasn't that bad of a price to pay.

Plus he was working on this new sleeping dart for the Hulk using that plant Kurse sent. If it calmed Bruce down by smelling it then a little in a formula should put him right to sleep. Save everyone a lot of damage and guilt later. One thing had slipped his mind though, and that was coming back to bite him right now.

"Sir, Ms. Potts is using her override--"

"TONY! What the hell happened in the meeting room?!" His very angry CEO's voice rang out.

"Uh, I can explain." Could he?

"We can do, when we take the staff back the next couple of days we can take everything back to Asguard. Heimdall can use his magic to help not only transport the staff but we can also take the body back if need be I can always do two trips we will take this weapon to Odin as well." Frandal confirmed they would have to make a move. " We will probably go back tomorrow we will talk it over with Volstagg can you ask him if that's okay Jarvis?"

When the other mentioned food, they didn't realise how hungry they were. "Can you order pizza? I heard Thor saying that was good." Hogun requested as the boys were heading back to the room they were allocated since Volstagg might be with Steve.

"He would really need to use that item on me?" That would make sense he was un-usually  strong for an omega. Hearing Thor growl, he knew it wasn't directed at him but he made sound in distress sensing Loki's anger. "Why would father send men like that?" He asked surely his father had sense. He had guided Loki towards their bedroom.

"What a night. " Thor laid on the bed lying on his back blowing some hair out of the way in annoyance. "God what if you weren't the one that did it? what if we let Kurse lived and he hurt the babies." Thor murmured with a slight whine. "I just want you to be mine brother."

"I have a feeling it's going to get harder brother.  " he grabbed Loki's arm gently and guided him towards the bed as he allowed his body against Loki's just feeling him, scenting him, feeling the emotions. "I just want to be owned by you. I'm not afraid of it Loki." Thor mentioned. "I'm ready to be claimed." If anything it made him realise how much his lover was important to him.

"You know I will do anything for you." Thor murmured softly as he firmed his lips. "I want you to bite me." Thor whispered against Loki's ear with a smirk.

[Tachi]

"Prince Loki is busy at the moment, I will ask him in the morning." Jarvis responded, taking the hint that Loki would not take kindly to another interruption right now while they were solidifying their relationship. "Of course, Sirs. Upon return to your rooms I will detail what kind of pizzas are available." He judged that was where they were headed based upon their movements.

--

Shutting the bedroom door for an extra sense of privacy and protection, Loki was half tempted to put up a spell as well, but his attention was drawn in by Thor. "That's not what happened." And Loki was glad for it. He approached and came willingly, joining him on the bed and taking in his scent, calming himself from the thoughts of his brother in real danger from Kurse. His eyes opened again from when they'd closed. Owned by him. He'd never heard Thor speak like that.

He kissed him back firmly and this time when he growled it wasn't in anger. "I think you lied, brother. You said next time it wouldn't be so easy." Kissing him again, he rolled on top of Thor. Although he got rid of their clothes quickly, especially his that'd been touched by Kurse, he didn't bite Thor right away.  Loki took his time teasing him and making him feel good. He claimed him and near the end, pleasure mounting, he sunk his teeth into Thor's neck hard and left his mating mark.

He could feel the bond completing between them, the pleasure his mate was feeling, and it was enough to send him over the edge. Although this wasn't a heat, due to the mating his knot had activated, locking them together. Once he made sure Thor was satisfied as well he instinctually licked the wound as if to help heal it and rumbled in happy satisfaction. "When we part, you can place your mark." If Thor still chose the same place.

[Silver_Lady]

Thor had often wondered what it would be like to have this moment, it was better than he thought it would be. He was more than ready to take it, before he had been so hooked on the what ifs that he never actually pictured of himself actually being happy. He was worried about being restrained if anything it gave him more of a complete sensational feeling. A protection of sorts. Tonight was theirs, his families.

Thor groaned heavily at the thought that Loki was teasing him, his body was just having a natural reaction to it. He panted at the very thought of Loki biting, his entire body was and felt like it was on edge. Thor had thought long and 'hard' about what and where the placement on Loki's to be, his mark that would bound them, not because the bracelet had told them to be. He kissed firmly, when they did part, Thor had did the same thing he had teased Loki as if he was 'going' to bite.

Thor had passionately made his mark on the nape of the neck he lingered and did the same thing as Thor felt the connection brew and was fluid between them. He couldn't believe they were finally bonded males. "I don't know why I fort this, it's a magical feeling. I'm sorry it's taking me this long." Thor whispered his hands touching Loki's hair entangled his feelings. The nausea was hitting him hard as his body flinched as he ducked his head as if he was trying to back it back down he didn't want to ruin the moment.

[Tachi]

No need to separate then as Thor teased him and then bit down. Groaning, it was a pleasurable pain that had him pressing further into Thor. Not on his thigh then. This was more satisfying, to declare it boldly. "What's done is done, my mate." They were mated now and he wanted to enjoy it. Unfortunately, he too was feeling the edge of nausea that was not his own and he shifted to better accommodate Thor while they were still stuck together.

Suddenly he smiled though and laughed softly. "Our children want to have a say in it. I suppose we'd better get used to that." Shifting up a bit, Loki cooled his hand, the skin turning slightly blue, and he put it on Thor's stomach, akin to an ice pack. "Never thought I'd be using these abilities so often." He said softly. His children were half Frost Giant. would they appear Asgardian, or...? Now wasn't the time to think of it. Loving Thor for all of these years and now finally having him, completely, it was indescribable.

"I love you." The rest they could deal with later. Tonight was just for their little family.

Jarvis, while programmed to give privacy, was also programmed to analyze data and come to conclusions. The conclusion he'd come to was that there had been a tense, high stress atmosphere in the Tower for quite a while. It was only now going down and soon Thor and Loki's guests would be leaving. That left a small window of opportunity.

"Pardon me," Jarvis interrupted Tony and Pepper arguing, or more like Pepper being incredulous about what'd being going on lately. "But seeing as how Sirs Frandal, Hogan, and Volstagg will be leaving us soon and Princes Loki and Thor have recently mated and become pregnant, perhaps a celebration is in order?"

Tony was more than happy to jump on this and take the out. "That is an excellent idea."

"Wait, Thor's pregnant? He mated with Loki?" Pepper asked, bewildered.

"Long story short, yes. They've got that whole incest, not really brothers thing going on. Either way, I'm hoping this means no more suitors and Thor stops stressing out so much." He was iffy on that last one happening. "Anyway, a party! That's what this calls for! You know what? We should make it into a baby shower for Volstagg too. Who knows when we'll see him again. J, get on that. Order streamers and shit." He thought for a moment. "Oh, and non-alcoholic beer. A lot of it."

Pepper sighed. Sometimes it just wasn't worth having the argument. "Alright, well, leave the presents to me then. You're atrocious at buying them."

"Hey! What about that--"

"No."

"But--"

"Hated it."

"You said--"

"I lied."

He pouted, but this wasn't exactly a new thing for them. "Fine, you know best."

"Glad you finally admitted it." With a smile she walked off and left him to whatever he was doing. "Oh, and you're still not off the hook!"

"Damn." Kurse was still being annoying. "J, let everyone who isn't a guest of honor know so they can get a present. Oh, and let Frandal and Hogan pick something out. On me." He thought for another moment. "Tell them what a surprise party is!" The only one who didn't need to be surprised was Bruce. Tony sent off a text to Clint in case he'd make it back in time.
