Author's Note: Hello there. :)

For those of you who haven't read anything from me before, this is a sequel to some of my other LokixSigyn stories, a series that starts with 'Five Kisses'. The list and order of stories in the series are at the bottom of my profile. It's probably quite important that you read them before you read this as some things may not make as much sense otherwise. The only ones that you could probably get away with not reading are the M-rated fics as they're pretty much pure lemons. :P

Anyway, I hope you'll read them and come back to read this. :)

This story is set during and after the events of The Avengers, and follows only Sigyn and Loki's parts in the story- which is why we're starting midway through the film. Nothing before this point has changed, and since I'm not one to plagiarise, I'm only writing scenes that I've changed. Of course, I own nothing but my ideas. :)

Hope you enjoy it! :)

Loki didn't move from the seat he'd been instructed to sit in. His plan was going perfectly; all he had to do was sit tight. The plane was going fast, taking him quickly to his destination, furthering him in his goals, and his 'captors' were clueless. He overheard a conversation between a voice and the agent controlling the plane.

"Saying anything?" Fury asked.

"Not a word," Natasha replied.

"Just get him here. We're low on time."

Tony watched Loki carefully, disliking how he sat so calmly, just staring at the other side of the plane.

"I don't like it," Steve commented, clearly bothered by the same thing.

"What, Rock of Ages giving up so easily?"

"I don't remember it being that easy," Steve scoffed, recalling how hard Loki had hit him. "This guy packs a wallop."

"Still, you are pretty spry for an older fellow. What's your thing, Pilates?"

"What?"

"It's like calisthenics. You might have missed a couple of things, you know, doing time as a Capsicle," Tony quipped quickly.

Steve paused, clearly unimpressed by Tony's attempt humour. He already felt out of place enough without constantly being reminded of all that he'd missed over the years.

"Fury didn't tell me he was calling you in," Steve noted, turning the conversation away from his past.

"Yeah, there's a lot of things Fury doesn't tell you."

As soon as the words left Tony's mouth, something in the sky changed dramatically. Grey clouds formed around the plane, a storm swirling out from nowhere. Thunder boomed and crackled as lightning shot around them.

Natasha looked up and asked, "Where's this coming from?"

No one answered her. They all just looked up, frowning in confusion at the spontaneous weather change. It was only Loki that looked up nervously.

Steve didn't fail to notice either, and asked, "What's the matter? Are you scared of a little lightning?"

His eyes flickering to the Captain for a moment, Loki answered, "I'm not overly fond of what follows."

Then he turned his eyes to the sky again. The others clearly didn't understand his meaning; they had no reason to fear the thunder as he did. A loud thump shook the plane, almost as if something had jolted into it. And with that, Loki's eyes went slightly wider, half-dreading what that sound meant.

Ignoring Loki's reaction, Tony immediately put his mask on and opened the door. He was determined to find out what had just hit their plane.

Steve looked over at him and questioned, "What are you doing?"

That was when a figure all too familiar to Loki thudded down in the entrance of the plane. Loki stared, a flash of fear passing through his eyes but vanishing as quickly as he could force it to. Oh brilliant, he thought. He had been hoping that Thor would have been unable to find a way to get to Midgard. Apparently his hopes were wasted.

With a scowl, Thor hit Tony with Mjolnir, knocking him backwards before grabbing Loki and tearing him free of his seat belt. Grasping him by the throat, Thor turned them to the exit and set off flying out of the plane with a bolt of thunder heralding their departure. Tony stood up swiftly and stared after them.

"And now there's that guy," he said.

"Another Asgardian?" Natasha asked from the cockpit.

"That guy's a friendly?" Steve queried.

"Doesn't matter," Tony replied. "If he frees Loki or kills him, the Tesseract's lost."

"Stark, we need a plan of attack!"

Tony walked towards the exit of the plane, half ignoring Steve's comment.

Quickly he replied, "I have a plan. Attack."

Then he flew out of the plane. With a sigh, Steve went straight for a parachute.

"I'd sit this one out, Cap," Natasha commented, seeing his plan.

"I don't see how I can."

"These guys come from legend. They're basically gods," she tried to explain.

But Steve continued putting on his parachute anyway.

"There's only one God, ma'am. And I'm pretty sure he doesn't dress like that," he replied, throwing himself out of the plane after the others.

Sigyn started to climb into the open doors of the plane just after she'd seen the uniformed soldier jump out. She wasn't worried that Thor had left her there, he would be back after he had spoken with Loki away from mortal eyes.

Then she would finally be reunited with her husband- even if he was embroiled in some sort attempt to conquer Midgard. She would have to talk to him about that later. Right now she was more concerned about getting into the plane. She regretted wearing one of her usual dresses in that instant, but eventually she got into the plane, wondering why Thor hadn't just deposited her there instead of on the roof of the Midgardian contraption.

"Hey, who the hell are you?" she heard a woman's voice shout, distracting her from her thoughts.

Sigyn looked up, straightening her dress absentmindedly. She watched as a red-haired woman disengaged herself from a seat at the front of the plane, handing control of it over to the man beside her. The woman pulled out a gun and pointed it at her. Sigyn just stared.

"Calm yourself," Sigyn said. "I mean you no harm. I am Sigyn."

Natasha frowned. She had no idea who this oddly-dressed woman was, but she was quite sure that she had something to do with Loki. And another Asgardian, she thought. This can't be good.

"What are you doing here?" she asked carefully.

"Waiting," Sigyn replied simply.

"Waiting?" Natasha asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Thor will bring Loki back momentarily."

"So you're one of them then?" Natasha said, seeking confirmation.

"If by that you mean am I from Asgard, then yes."

Sigyn ignored Natasha's gun and took a seat in one of the chairs lining the length of the plane. Natasha narrowed her eyes and kept a close watch on the golden-haired goddess as she went about her business. She was clearly unconcerned by the prospect of being confronted by one of the planet's top assassins.

"Take a seat, Agent...?"

"Romanoff. Natasha Romanoff. They call me the Black Widow."

Natasha only said that to watch the woman's face, to search for any sense of recognition. There was none. She obviously didn't recognise who she was faced with, Natasha understood. However, the plane's newest intruder was certainly a little too calm for her liking.

"Right. Well you may as well sit down again. They'll come back soon," Sigyn said, matter-of-factly. "And could you please put that gun away, it's distracting."

Natasha considered the Asgardian woman for a second before carefully holstering her gun. She didn't sit as Sigyn had suggested however. She was too wary too trust so easily.

It wasn't long before they received a radio message from Tony informing them that Loki was under their control again and that they should double round and pick them up. Sigyn tensed at the mention of Loki's name, and Natasha didn't fail to notice. That's odd, she thought.

As the pilot set a course for their whereabouts, Natasha asked, "Nervous?"

"You could say that," Sigyn replied.

But that was all that she said on the matter. In fact, she was silent and still as she sat until the plane landed in a ruined forest. The doors opened and Tony was the first to step inside.

"I'm sure there used to be a forest here," Natasha commented, eyeing the newly-flattened surrounding area.

"Recent refurbishment," he replied quickly. "Who's the blonde?"

"She came with him," Natasha said, nodding to Thor as he pulled Loki back aboard.

Confusion showed in Loki's expression as his eyes found Sigyn sat in the corner of the plane, but he masked it carefully. He didn't need anyone to see his reaction as he caught sight of his wife. He didn't need them knowing what was going through his mind.

"Sigyn?" Loki asked cautiously.

Sigyn opened her mouth to reply but Thor immediately cut her off.

"Don't say anything, Sigyn."

"But Thor-"

"Don't say a word. I don't want you speaking to him right now."

Sigyn stood up, eyes burning with a sudden outrage. She didn't like the idea of Thor ordering her around, particularly when it came to further separating her from her already-estranged husband.

"Thor, he's my husband, you can't just-"

"Be silent, Sigyn, or I will find a way to send you home immediately."

At that, she just stared, an angry retort playing on the tip of her tongue. She held it in however, she had given much to get to this position and she was determined not to be sent back to Asgard so soon.

"Sit down, Sigyn. Loki does not deserve your words."

"Maybe he can earn them by cooperating," Steve suggested as he boarded the plane and allowed the plane doors to close behind him.

Loki took no notice of the Captain's suggestion, he was too busy staring at Sigyn. He couldn't believe that she was there, that she would come with Thor. Perhaps she hadn't been convinced to hate him. Perhaps she still loved him. What did she have to do to get Odin to agree to letting her come to Midgard? he wondered curiously.

"So," Tony started, alleviating the awkward silence that arose. "Nice to see your dysfunctional family reunion- by the way, next time try Jerry Springer, you might just fit right in."

Not understanding the reference, Steve rolled his eyes and said, "Can we just get a move on now?"

With that, the plane set off again, leaving Loki and Sigyn to stare at each other from opposite sides of the plane for the entire journey, with a frowning Thor standing between them.

Author's Note: Hey guys, so we've finally reached the Avengers. :) I've been waiting to write this part of the series for so long so I'm very excited, hope you are too! :)
