When I defend Odin I’m not excusing his actions. I’m not saying he is #1 Best Dad. I’m not saying he was a good father, or even a very good person. I’m just saying can you please not reduce him to just, ‘‘being a piece of shit.’’

Chapter 8
Shield helicarrier, 2012
Back on the airship agent Fury paces back and fourth before the glass containment cell, he glares at the annoyed god, "In case it's unclear, if you try to escape, if you so much as put a scratch on that glass- " he presses a knob on the side of a control panel, below the containment cell a large hole opens in the floor drawing air through the ship waiting for Loki to be dropped in '" it's 30,000 feet straight down, in a steel trap. You get how that works? Ant. Boot."
"It's an impressive cage. Not built, I think, for me."
"Built for something alot stronger than you."
"Oh, I've heard."
Loki finishes and turns to look at the bulbous security camera, almost as if he could see those watching on the other side. "A mindless beast. That makes play he is still a man... How desperate are you, that you call on such lost creatures to defend you?
"How desperate am I? You threaten my world with war. You steal a force you can't hope to control. You talk about peace, and you kill because it's fun. You have made me very desperate, You might not be glad that you did."
"Ooh. It burns you to have come so close, To have the tesseract, to have power, unlimited power. And for what? A warm light for all mankind to share. And then to be reminded what real power is.
"Well let me know if real power wants a magazine or something."
The heros' watch on in silence as Loki steps closer to the camera smirking at them all.
"He really grows on you, doesn't he?" Banner questions the room, not honestly looking for an answer.
"Loki's gonna drag this out. So Thor, what's his play?"
"He has an army called the Chitauri. They're not of Asgard, not any other world known. He means to lead them against your people. They will win him the Earth, in return, I suspect for the tesseract."
"An army, from outer space?"
"So he's building another portal, that's what he needs Erik Selvig for."
"Selvig?"
"He's an astrophysicist."
"He's a friend."
"Loki has him under some kind of spell, along with one of ours." Nat interupted, not being able to help her mind drifting to Clint.
"I want to know why Loki let us take him, he's not leading an army from here."
"I don't think we should be focusing on Loki. That guys brain is a bag full go cats, you could smell crazy on him."
"Have care how you speak, Loki is beyond reason but he is of Asgard. And he is my brother."
"He killed 80 people in two days."
"He's adopted."
"I think it's about the mechanics. Iridium what to they need iridium for?"
"It's a stabilizing agent."
The mates' heads all turn at the intrusion of Lottie's voice, she walked in with Phil and Tony, the pair making plans to fly him out and visit his cellist.
Tony see's Agent Coulson off as they enter the room taking his que from Lenora "It means the portal won't collapse on itself, like it did at SHIELD." He announced to the room, walking over the the blonde god
"No hard feelings, Point Break. You've got a mean swing." He taps the Asgardian on the bicep with the back of his hand, Lenora rolls he eyes at the action-
"Tony leave the poor hunk alone."
He turns back to her, eyebrow raised questioningly "Hunk? Really- what am I, chopped liver?"
"My love, if we're being completely honest I'm sure you're well aware Rhodey is the hunk in this relationship of ours."
"Lottie." Natasha hisses out glaring at the woman.
"What? Nat, can you sit there and tell me I'm wrong?"
"Well...no."
"Oh my god" Tony whispers out, "What is this a coup?!"
"It also means the portal can open as wide and stay open as long as Loki wants." Lenora tells the rest of the room not giving her husband the satisfaction of responding, simply leaving him to pout.
Tony walks around to the bridges helm, eyes scanning. He points to the right hand side "That man is playing Galaga!" To the shock of the agent in question, as he notices the avengers looking his way he changes tabs switching back to work, away from the game. "He thought we wouldn't notice. But we did."
Tony takes a hard drive out of his pocket as subtle as he can, raising his palm up to his eye covering it. "How does Fury even see these?" He questions pointedly at the screens.
"He turns."
"Sounds exhausting." Tony steps up to one of the screen displays lowering a few of the shown specs, "The rest of the raw materials, Agent Barton can get his hands on pretty easily. The only major component he still needs is a power source of high-energy density." He explains sticking in the USB scanner of his own design to the side of the electronic table. "Something to kick start the cube."
"When did you become an expert in thermonuclear astrophysics?"
"Last night. The packet, Selvigs notes, the extraction theory papers. You do realize Lottie and I both went to M.I.T right?"
"So what kind of power source does Loki need?" Steve asks.
"He would need to heat the Cube to 120-million Kelvin, just to break through the Coulomb barrier."
"Unless Selvig figured out a way to stabilize the quantum tunneling effect."
"Well if he could do that, he could achieve heavy ion fusion at any reactor on the planet."
"Finally someone who speaks English, where have you been all my life?" The comment makes Bruce smile up at the slightly taller man.
"Hey!" Nat and Lottie say synchronously.
"Sorry girls you know what I meant" Tony says placing his arm over Bruce's shoulder "it's good to meet you Dr. Banner, your work on antielectron collisions is unparalleled. And I am also a huge fan of the way you lose control and turn into a enormous green rage monster."
"God why did I marry him." Lenora groans out burying her own head in Natasha neck.
"Because you love me."
"Sure let's go with that."
"Dr. Banner is only here to tract the cube. I was hoping you might join him."
"You should start with that stick of his, might be magical. But it works an awfully lot like a hydra weapon."
"I don't know about that but It is powered by the cube. And I would like to know how Loki used it to turn two of the sharpest men I know into his personal flying Monkey's."
"Monkeys? I do not understand."
"I do! I understood that reference..." Steve exclaims with just a hint of awkwardness to his voice.
Lenora turns her head slightly to whisper in her wife's ear, "c'mon...they just keep getting cuter don't they?"
Nat smiles, nodding in agreement struggling to stop her self from laughing.
"Shall we play doctor?"
"The gamma readings are definitely consistent with Selvigs reports of the tesseract but it's going to take weeks to process."
"If we bypass their mainframe and direct route to the Homer cluster, we can clock this at around 600 teraflops."
"Ha, all I packed was a toothbrush."
"You should come by Stark Tower sometime, top ten floors all R&D. You'd love it it's candy land."
Lenora perks her head up at Tony's suggestions- "I'll call Happy, have him set a room up."
"Thanks, but the last time I was in New York, I kind of broke Harlem."
"Well I promise a stress free environment. No tension, no surprises." Tony concluded his little lie by jabbing Bruce with a small electrical rod.
"Ow!"
Tony leans in to inspect shocked to find the doctor smiling at the action... He actually found it funny...wow.
"Nothing?" He questions the doctor at the lack of outburst ignoring the loud 'Hey' that comes from Rogers's mouth.
"Are you nuts?"
"Jury's out." "Most definitely." Both Stark's answer.
"You really have got a lid on it, haven't you? What's your secret, Mellow jazz, bongo drums, huge bag of weed?"
"Is everything a joke to you?"
"Funny things are."
"Threatening the saftey of everyone in this ship isn't funny... No offense doc."
Lenora scoffs, wow the faith Steve must have in his mates is next to none- "Rogers, cool it. Bruce is fine. He was laughing, I'm sure he knows his own limits better than you do. But yeah... No offense."
"It's alright, I wouldn't have come aboard if I couldnt handle pointy things." The doctor explains.
"You're tip toeing, big man. You need to strut."
"You all need to be focusing on the problem at hand."
"You think I'm not? Why did Fury call us in, why now? Why not before? What isn't he telling us- y'know what, why haven't you even stopped to ask why SHIELD has one of your mates chained like a rabid animal they've beaten into submission. Or how they got all of us in the first place? Isn't it a bit suspicious so many of us found each other at the hand of SHIELD's intervention."
"Tony."
"No, Lottie- no. It's unfair, you know that and I know that. Over a year. Y'know. Over a year that Sheild has had her under their thumb, at their beck and call regardless of what she needs or wants. All for what? Some old bullshit law written before even you were born? Really? It bugging you too isn't it Banner?"
"I..uhh, I just want to finish my work here, and..."
"Doctor?"
Banner looks up at the taller man and sighs, taking off his glasses, "A warm light for all mankind. Loki's jab at Fury, about the cube."
"I heard it."
"Well I think that was meant for you." He points to Tony. The engineer and his wife share a silent look, him having had seen her true powers back when she wasn't chained. Her powers inspired his own, he could have changed the color of the reactor long after he was taken captive, but it reminded him of his love, it matched her colors he wouldn't change that for the world and if Loki could really read minds he would know that.
Tony doesn't make his suspicion known simply offering a bag of blueberries to Bruce
"Even if Barton didn't tell Loki about the tower, it was still all over the news."
"Stark Tower? That big, ugly-" Lenora and Tony glare at the captain in silent disagreement "building in New York"
"It's powered by an arc reactor, a self sustaining energy source. That building will run itself for, what, a year?"
"It's just the prototype. We're kinda the only name in clean energy right now. That's what he's getting at."
"So why didn't shield bring him in on the tesseract project? What are they doing in the energy business in the first place?"
Tony's steps around banner taking his phone from the back pocket of jeans, "I should probably look into that, once my description program finishes breaking into all of shields secure files."
"I'm sorry... did you say?"
Jarvis has been running it since I got the bridge, in a few hours I'll know every dirty secret shield has ever tried to hide. Blueberry? He asks the taller man extending the bag his way.
"Yet you're confused about why they didn't want you around."
"An intellegence organization that fears intelligence? Historically, not so awesome."
"I think Loki is trying to wind us up. This is a person who means to start a war, and if we dont stay focused, that plan will succeed. We have order we should follow them"
"Heh. That's rich." The rest of the men in the room look at Lottie for her to elaborate. "We aren't soldiers captain. The only people here obligated to take any orders are you, the shield agents, and I. The rest here all have this little thing called free will. Yours you've seen to have given up, god only knows why- mine has been taken. But everyone else gets to decide where they stand based off their own wants and beliefs. You have no right, not at a soldier or as our mates to demand how we react to shields bullshit. You follow you're own goddamn orders and see where that gets you modern day."
Lenora stands from her seat, the stool scrapes harshly against the lab's floor, as she marches out to find her wife, shes not going to sit there and listen to Tony be berated, he can hold his own without her there to witness it.
Natasha rounds a corner to see her wife pacing back and fourth,
"Hey."
"Oh, hi. I was just looking for you!"
"By walking in circles?"
"Well...no that came later"
"Alright can you help me with something?" The short haired woman asks.
"Yeah of course."
"Great, I need you to talk to Loki."
"Wait what."
Nat grabs her hand escorting her along the halls. The pair slowly making their way to the glass containment chamber where the Asgardian is being held. "Just talk to him, I need to get a better insight of his personality. Build a profile. But I need him to feel comfortable, like he's I'm charge- has all the power even from the cage. He won't trust shield, I think he can trust you because you're not here by choice."
"Do you really think this could help?"
"Yes."
"Then of course, I'll do it"
Loki walks around in his containment cell before suddenly coming to a stop. Smirk gracing his features "There's not many people who can sneak up on me." He says turning around completely to face Lottie who stands on the opposite side.
"But you figured I'd come."
"You despise this place."
"I do."
"Then why are you here?"
"It's not like I have much of a choice" she remarks tilting her head to the side, allowing her fingers to grace the collar- now on full display to Loki's eye line. "I need to know what you've done to agent Barton."
"I could say I've expanded his mind"
"And once you've won... What happens to his mind?"
"Is this sentiment, Mrs. Stark?"
"He matters greatly to someone I love."
"So you wage your own safety for what? A favour. Your world hangs in the balance, out of your control- and yet you risk it all."
"I... I- uh.' she sits down in front of the cage, " I've had a long and arduous relationship with shield. With the American government in general... I'm not exactly keen on you starting all out war, but if it so happenes and shield is collateral damage I can't say I'd be too upset. So I'd rather know that Barton will be kept out of harms way for agent Romanoffs sake... She has to much pride to herself come and ask you. So I took it upon myself."
Loki leaned into the glass resting his hands on it looking down at the girl, before slamming his hands down on the glass forcing her to look up at him.
"I won't kill Barton not until I can grab and split his skull before your precious agent Romanoffs very eyes."
Lenora looks Loki in the eyes, doing her best to make them shake and take an obvious deep breath "You're... A-a monster."
"Oh no. You've brought the monster."
Lenora let's her face drop completely flaccid, but still staring into Loki's eyes, any semblance of sadness or fear once there, now completely gone. "So, Bruce. That's your play."
"What?"
"Like you said I was just doing a favor. You hear all that darling?!"
"Yup. Got it all" Natasha says coming out of hiding using her earpiece to contact and then run to the bridge.
"TONY!"
"LOTTIE!"
"Don't joke right now I ran, all the way here Nat had me talk to Loki."
"What Loki? Why?"
"She wanted to trick him into revealing his plans and it worked her wants Hulk. He's going to try and get Bruce to-" she's cut off as agent Fury storms in.
"What are you doing Mr. Stark?"
"Uh, Kind of been wondering the same thing about you."
"You're supposed to be tracking the tesseract."
"We are, the models locked. And we're sweeping for the signature now. When we get a hit, we'll have the location within half a mile." Bruce cuts in.
"Yeah and then you get your cube back, no muss, no fuss... What is phase 2?"
Steve storms in holding an arms full of weapons, dropping them down on a metal lab table. "Phase two is shield uses the cube to make weapons. Sorry, computer was moving a bit slow for me."
"Rogers, we gathered everything related to the tesseract. This dies not mean we're making...'
"I'm sorry, Nick. What- were you lying?" Tony asks turning a screen of weapon plans re routed from shield servers to face the dark skinned man.
"I was wrong director, the world hasn't changed a bit."
"Did you know about this?" Bruce asks Natasha as she escorts Thor into the room.
Her eyes widen looking to him "No. No of course not, I'm kept just in the dark as you are... All information that doesn't involve my current mission is withheld, ever since I found James, Lottie and Tony. Shield knew I'd tell them if anything was a viable threat."
"Well then I'd like to know why shield is using the tesseract to build weapons of mass destruction."
"Because of him." Fury says pointing to Thor who looks around confused asking "Me?"
"Last year earth had a visitor from another planet, who has a grudge match that leveled a small town. we learned not only that we are not alone, but we are hopelessly, hilariously, outgunned."
"My people want nothing but peace with your planet."
"But you're not the only people out there, are you? This was like nothing we've seen before it was just something we could've controlled like."
"Like what?" Steve ponders
"What he means to say is like mutants. He can't control the aliens like mutants he can't just give them ultimatums and chain them down into submission." Lottie says, "Right, please tell me. Am I wrong fury? You can't control big strong aliens with a little shock color like you can little girls right?"
"Your predicament has nothing to do with this situation."
"My predicament has everything to do with this situation!"

Shadow Soldier and Winter Soldier were rushing through the wall and the Winter Soldier stole a gun from the Hydra soldiers when they fought, Shadow Soldier unsheathed the sword that strapped on his back. The Hydra soldiers stood up and ready for aim at them and the sound of the gun fired, sending the bullets toward them but Shadow Soldier was first to slice the bullets in the pieces, the Winter Soldier shot at the Hydra soldiers, they past the dead Hydra Soldiers as Winter Soldier told him, “Remember the plan we discussed.”
“Yes, Winter Soldier.” Shadow Soldier saluted before they rushed off.
Inside the room where the heroes were freed, MystKitsune used her swords to slice the Hydra soldiers’ guns, Deku and Rook were with her to help her by knock them out as her friends were fighting against the Hydra soldiers, Captain America tossed the shield like a frisbee to hit the Hydra soldiers. Thor, Black Widow and Hawkeye joined with Captain America to fight together, Wolverine used his claws to slice the guns and totally Strong Ox used his horns to act like an angry bull, he rushed toward Hydra soldiers and caused them to get hit and fell into the air. Mare joined Dapper Rogers to fight together and Honey Bee used her fight technique to beat the Hydra soldiers. Hulk roared and he batted the Hydra soldiers away, Kevin 11 just coated himself as metal and Lucky Girl was with him to fight together. MystKitsune have no choice but she sheathed her swords and she scrolled the Omnitrix to choose one of the aliens and she slammed onto it, transforming into female Blitzwolfer, her most favorite one. She lunged toward the Hydra soldiers. After the fight MystKitsune handed Ladybug a Omntrix and she ordered her teammates, “All of you go and fight against Hydra soldiers, let Ben-kun and Bucky-san take care of it. Ladybug, make sure never let anybody get this Omnitrix.”
“But-” Kevin 11 was cut off when Wolverine put his hand on his shoulder, “Ten and Barnes were working as soldiers and assassins, now they will destroy the Hydra for good.”
“He’s right, we will take care of the soldiers.” Captain America nodded and suddenly the voice boomed with an angry tone, “Not so fast!”
The voice caused the heroes to get attention, Madame Hydra and the Hydra assassins were standing and looked so pissed as Madame Hydra pointed at MystKitsune, “You think you take Shadow Soldier with you? Never! He will work under the Hydra and he will be brainwashed, to make all of your friends get killed in the hands of Hydra, Kyumi Howlett!”
“I refuse to let my dearest friends get killed.” MystKitsune furrowed her eyebrow and took a few steps as Deku exclaimed, “What are you doing?!”
“Go.” MystKitsune ordered before turning her head from behind her, “I will be back.”
The heroes were staring at her before Captain America shouted, “She’s right, we need to go!”
“She will take care of it.” Iron Man spoke through the mask and the heroes rushed off, leaving for MystKitsune. Madame Hydra scoffed with an sassy smile, “Never thought the lone swordswoman can fight against us, one vs nineteen.”
“Really? Then let’s fight.” MystKitsune growled and her left eye flashes blue, “I won’t be beaten by the foolish Hydra.”
How can you be a Loki fan while simultaneously despising Thor for no reason?
Being a hardcore Loki fan and liking Thor can and should coexist. There is no point in putting down one character only to put another on a pedestal.
Sometimes I think fans forget that the movies are still Thor's. Loki, no matter how much the fans love him, is not the focus of those movies. We can ask for more content, but the movies are focused on Thor. Hating the Thor movies because there aren't enough Loki scenes, or hating Thor solely for the fact that he isn't attractive to you and isn't portrayed by Tom Hiddleston is honestly pointless.
Thor is a good character in his own right.
Loki is a good character in his own right.
I can call myself a massive Loki fan, and still enjoy Thor's scenes. I'm not going to judge a character based on who he was before he developed as a person. Rewatch Thor 1. Thor become a better person at the end of the movie. He might still have some arrogance, but that's why character development is continuous.
So why (and how) can people claim that Thor is still selfish? How can they think he hated Loki up until Lokis IW death? Thor's last moments with Loki was Loki promising the sun will shine on them. It was Loki sacrificing himself again for his brother and Asgardian people. Thor witnessed his little brother, who he cares about so much, get strangled right in front of him. For all of Thor's mighty strength, he was unable to save his brother who tried to save him. Thor lost everyone. His mother; father; his lost sister; the people he swore to protect; and his little brother.
Do you know how many time Thor has mourned Loki? Every single time Loki dies, Thor is heartbroken. But Loki always comes back, so maybe the holds out the tiniest bit of hope Loki will come back to prank him. Except this death is final, and there's "no resurrections this time."
The entirety of IW had Thor focus fully on getting revenge for Asgard and Loki. Thor's *number one* goal was to stop Thanos. Lokis death was literally Thor's driving force of that movie.
How did Thor hate Loki in Infinity War? How did he hate Loki in Endgame? Let's go back some movies; when and how did Thor hate Loki in Ragnarok? Or the Dark World? Or Thor 1?
Hell, Thor didn't even hate Loki in Avengers. Yes, he was reasonably angry, but he didn't hate his brother. Know how I know that? Because Thor had so many opportunities to kill Loki in those movies. Or he could have left Loki in the dungeons.
But he didn't. Because, no matter how many times Loki disappointed Thor, they are still brothers.
Now, speaking as an older siblings, here: older siblings will always care about their younger siblings, no matter how many time the younger one disappoints or hurts them. They are my number one concern; Always. Don't even get me started on people who call adopted/foster/step/half siblings "not real family," or inc*st shippers. Hush, you don't get to speak about family or having siblings.
Loki's final words were him claiming to be an Odinson. I don't think that had anything to do with Odin; instead, it had everything to do with Thor. Claiming himself to be an Odinson is the way he connects with his Brother. He's acknowledging the connection and that he still cares (and that he had a plan, but that's a different story.)
Thor proves time and time again that he cares about Loki, and even though he doesn't say it back often, Loki cares too. Siblings disappoint each other, but they rely on each other too.

Taught a kid their 6 multiples today. Was reminded of how much times tables really remind me of the Ragnorak cycle. Sure, little details might change, but in the end, it’ll always play out the same way. 10 multiples will always end in 0. Thor will take 9 steps before falling. 6 multiples will always be 0, 2, 4, or 8. Etc etc.
I love the fact that when Freyja refused to marry Þrymr, the Aesirs' first thought was that Thor somewhat looks like Freyja instead of Loki is a shape-shifter.

“You can snap at me all you like, but you and I both know you are too ill to look after yourself.” Thor said firmly. He knew Loki would continue to protest and bite back for as long as he could. He also knew deep down Loki didn’t want to be alone now. But he knew his brother was stubborn and had a lot of pride. “Now lay back down.” Thor was just hoping Loki would soon get too tired to argue. If the fever and upset stomach didn’t slow Loki down then he was sure exhaustion would. “You’re also making your cough worse by getting worked up.” he was going to get tired himself at some point if Loki continued to be difficult.
Thor has been hanging out with Anne too much, he's starting to describe things as "So sex", even on missions and just casual conversation.
Take out the target? "that was so sex, guys. We did a great job. "
"... That's not what sex is? "
"Tell that to Dr. Evans. "
"No, I will not. "

New socks he wants to show off to his soon to be partner? "Jack, Jack. Look at my new socks, they're so sex. "
"Awh hell yeah they are! Total sex. "

Something bad happens?
"This containment breach is not sex.. "
"WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?? "
I would make a lousy Thor, for a whole host of reasons, not least of which would be that every time Mjölnir slapped into my palm, I would immediately drop it while shaking my hand like a wimp, shouting “By Odin’s beard, that friggin’ hurts!”
