Chapter Text
The brothers of Asgard, Thor and Loki, the King and Prince of Asgard respectively, stared out into the infinite speckled abyss of the universe before their ship. Thor stood triumphantly with his arms crossed, reflecting on his most recent and victorious battle. However Loki had a stance of sudden apprehension as their ship travelled towards Midgard.
Loki frowned softly, holding his hands in front of him, trying not to fidget. Loki was incredibly, and privately, nervous after Thor had declared Earth as the place of refuge for the people of Asgard, shortly after they abandoned what was left of their home. He felt like a changed person, with Hela’s destruction bringing the two of them together and eradicating his need to fulfil his title of the ‘God of Mischief’. However, he knew that hw would struggle to convince towards the Midgardians so.
“Do you really think it’s a good idea to go back to Earth?” He asked his brother, as Thor looked over.
Thor shrugged nonchalantly, “Yes of course. People on Earth love me, I’m very popular.” He answered, with a slight smile on his lips.
The prince paused, before inhaling and staring off into the distance, “Let me rephrase that,” he begun, raising his eyebrow, “Do you really think it’s a good idea to bring ME back to Earth?”
Thor was almost amused by Loki’s correction, knowing deep down that Midgard had not taken Loki’s past attempts in New York lightly. Even Doctor Stephen Strange had warned Thor that his brother’s presence on Earth was not received well, as he protected the planet from potentially harmful individuals.
However, with Asgard in ruins and his people seeking refuge, Earth was the only viable option.
“Probably not, to be honest,” Thor finally responded, looking over at Loki sigh in defeat. Thor turned away, “I wouldn’t worry, brother. I feel like everything’s going to work out fine.” He reassured.
This made Loki smile slightly with a slight glimmer of hope. His last visit to Earth was accompanied only with his attempts to achieve mass genocide and world domination, and a throne to sit on. Something that Loki knew isn’t forgiven so quickly.
But from now on, he trusted Thor. No matter how outrageous his promises were.
