Tony’s grip around Loki tightened as soon as he spoke, eyes darting about for a moment as if expecting her to pop up right then and there. Glaring at Thor, he shook his head. “How is it that a world so fond of war, a world that claims to be so powerful and strong, can never keep its prisoners?” He snapped. He knew it wasn’t Thor’s fault, but he was angry and stressed, and he could feel Loki’s fear across the bond and it just made his anger worse. “Asgard managed to lose the infinity gauntlet, an large group of prisoners loyal to Thanos, and the woman who has probably been a mole in your ranks for centuries….all in the course of a week…..And Asgard is the closest hope to an ally we’ll have when Thanos finally shows his ugly mug here. I’m just getting all sorts of fuzzy feelings now.” He continued. Taking a breath, he pinched the bridge of his nose as he tried to calm himself down again. What could he do now? What should he do? He had to protect Loki. Had to protect the team as well, Sif would probably be out for all their blood. How could he protect them all the best?
Bruce looked up from his work as Natasha came in, having positioned himself to face the door this time. Frowning at the look on her face, he sat up a little straighter. And tilted his head at her words. “And what news would that be?’ he asked slowly, already knowing he wouldn’t like this one bit.

Tony’s mind continued to spin for a moment before he realized the simplest solution. They had to move to the mansion. Sure, the tower was more secure than most places, but Tony could go all out on the mansion, could have Natasha, Clint, and Steve help designing security protocols, put in place defense measures that he could in the tower, even see if Loki had any spells he could lay out, or find some sort of manual for things Tony could do. And it would allow them to possibly bring in other heroes that would make it all the safer, he knew a few of the mutants would be interested in a safe, secure home. Feeling Loki’s mind still spinning, he sighed. Slowly moving in front of Loki, he caught his chin and looked him in the eye. “I am not going to let anything happen to you.” He said slowly. “You are the most important thing to ever happen to me, no one is going to hurt you…..” he said firmly, eyes showing how much he meant it. “We’ll move to the mansion and make it the safest place on Earth, the safest place in the universe even.” He promised. He’d start the process that day.
Bruce frowned darkly at the news. It seemed they couldn’t catch a break. How that woman managed to weasel out of everything they threw at her, he didn’t know. Perhaps he should just let the Hulk break her next time he saw her so they could be done with her trouble. When Natasha continued, he gave her a suspicious look. “What?” he asked cautiously, not liking the look in her eyes.

Tony let Loki rest his head on his shoulder, hand coming up to pet Loki’s hair gently. “So did I….But I promise she won’t get away again.” He said slowly, fingers moving to rub the base of his horns, a habit he was picking up when Loki had a headache. He tried to be a good guy, tried to do things he knew he wouldn’t regret later, but he would kill Sif the next time he saw her. It didn’t matter who she was or whose duty it was to punish her, he’d do what he had to protect Loki, to protect his mate.
Bruce knew what she’d figured out as soon as she said he already knew. Keeping a straight face, he thought about lying for a moment, but then thought better of it. She’d find out for sure eventually. Sighing, he rubbed the back of his neck and nodded. “He is pregnant.” He said slowly. “It happened on Asgard.”

Tony held Loki a little closer when he questioned thor, ready to react if the god had anything to add to that bit of news. He wasn’t at all surprised when Loki took them back to their room. They both wanted to retreat and think after that news. Smoothing his hand over Loki’s shoulders, he took a few deep breaths to calm his racing mind. “We’ll go to the mansion tomorrow and I’ll call in some favors to get things running.” He muttered, plans and projects already falling into place. He knew there would be some uncomfortable things to deal with, moving back into his childhood home, but that was the least of his concerns.
Bruce shook his head slightly, taking a moment to clean his glasses as he thought of how to respond. Deciding to go with the easier question first, Bruce met her eyes again. “It is less than a week, and Loki admitted that he wouldn’t have found out so soon if it wasn’t for the stress of our last day on Asgard. He was able to use magic to confirm it, Frigga also backed it up.” He said slowly. Biting his lip, he looked extremely uncomfortable before he spoke again. “And Tony doesn’t know…..Loki is refusing to tell him.” He said softly.
