Thor burst into your suite at dawn as promised. "You two better be dressed," he growled, but found you and Loki sitting and reading on the couch in the sittingroom, perfectly dressed and ready to leave.

"Your brother is loud in the morning," you whined at Loki as you stood and vanished your book.

"So you've been saying since we were five. I still don't know what you expect me to do about it," Loki replied, just as he always had.

"We need to return to Midgard," Thor reminded you both.

You sighed. "We know, Thor. It's just. I haven't been home in 900 years..." Thor wrapped you in his warm too muscled arms.

"I know, Kyrie, I know, but we have responsibilities on Midgard. None of us can stay here right now, but we'll come back and visit longer soon, I swear," Thor told you kindly. You nodded against his chest. "Come along, children. We've let our friends worry over us long enough," Thor bid you kindly and wrapped his arm around your shoulders while Loki protested for him to unhand you. Loki came up on your other side and you walked through the halls with your boys supportive on either side.

Frigga and your mother met you in the entrance hall. You hugged your mother while the boys said goodbye to Frigga. "I expect all three of you to come home for a proper visit for Yule," Frigga told you all firmly before she'd let you leave.

"Yes, Mother," answered the boys obediently.

With that taken care of, you and Loki teleported the three of you to the Bifrost. Heimdall opened the Bifrost for you and you went through with tears in your eyes after one last look at home. You didn't want to leave again, not after you'd finally been allowed home. "It will be alright, Kyrie-love. Yule is next month. We'll be back home soon," Loki reminded you when he caught your expression when you had reappeared next to the Avenger's tower.

"Thanks, Lohk," you told him softly and the three of you trudged into the tower.

"Where were you? What happened?" Cap demanded when you showed yourselves in the living room. You glared and stepped forward, automatically moving to defend your charges from his anger.

"We had to return suddenly to Asgard," Thor told him. "There was not time to inform anyone. There was an attack against Kyrie and the only way to diffuse it was to get her to our healers," Thor was leaving out that it was Odin who had attacked you. It would just upset the others.

"I thought you were exiled?" Nat asked, not unkindly.

You nodded shyly. "I was. The Allfather lifted my exile," you told her. She lit up in excitement.

"Congratulations!" She told you warmly. You smiled in return. She knew how much it meant to you to finally be allowed to go home. The team relaxed now that they knew you were all safe.

"Thor, can I borrow Mjolnir?" you asked one evening about a week later when you walked into the living room. Thor looked over at you from the couch where he and Loki were trying to kill each other on some fighting game.

"What for?" he asked, but gestured to the hammer, offering it. You held your hand out and Mjolnir flew to you.

"Stark and I are going to that concert tonight," you reminded him. You'd told the boys that you were going to be out tonight and going out with Stark. Neither of them had been interested in the idea of going to a concert.

"Why do you need Mjolnir for that?" Loki asked, not taking his eyes from the screen.

"Because it'll be fun and Stark bet me a hundred bucks that I wouldn't be able to get it from Thor to take it with us," you replied. Loki shrugged, accepting that answer and Thor boomed in laughter. "We're heading out now. You two try to behave," you bid them warmly. They paused the game and you kissed Thor's cheek, then kissed Loki a proper goodbye.

"What are you wearing?" Loki asked, confused at your outfit.

"What?" you glanced down, but knew you were just wearing jeans, a Led Zeppelin t-shirt from the 70s, combat boots, and a leather jacket.

"You look like you're going into battle," he told you.

You shrugged. "I'm going to a rock concert. Kinda the same thing," you laughed at his confusion and kissed him again.

"C'mon, kid, we're going to be late," Tony called from the elevator.

"Coming, Stark. I had to get the hammer," you told him and raised Mjolnir so he could see it.

"Of course you'd get Point Break to hand over the hammer," he teased, but handed over a hundred dollar bill as promised. You tucked it in your pocket with a grin. He drove one of his stupidly fast cars to the concert. Somehow the security guards let you bring Mjolnir in, though they all wanted to try to lift it from the security table. "So why'd you agree to come to this with me anyway?" Stark asked as you walked inside to find your seats.

"I like the band. I listened to them back in the day," you gestured to the shirt. "And when you said they were doing a reunion concert," you shrugged. You had front row seats since Stark had bought your tickets. He was glad someone had taken him up on the offer to go to the concert. "You do know what's happening when they play the song, right?" you asked.

He grinned like a small child in a candy store. "I'm looking forward to it, smurfette," he told you brightly. You grinned and waited impatiently with him.

The concert was great and loud and perfect.

And then the lead guitar tuned for just an instant and you knew it was time. You stood, which drew absolutely no one's attention since this was a rock concert.

Duh-da-duhduh

Duh-da-duhduh

Duh-da-duhduh

Duh-da-duhduh

You grinned and watched Tony step back to record the imminent drama.

You changed clothes with magic into your battle armor, black wings spreading wide as you flapped a couple of times to rise above the cheering crowd.

Ah-ah, ah!

Ah-ah, ah!

You raised Mjolnir above your head and drew down lightning from the clear sky. The crowd roared and the band continued playing the song.

We come from the land of the ice and snow

From the midnight sun, where the hot springs flow

You landed lightly on the stage before they hit the next line. To their credit, they didn't seem as all phased by an Asgardian bearing Mjolnir interrupting their concert.

The hammer of the gods

We'll drive our ships to new lands

To fight the horde, and sing and cry

Valhalla, I am coming!

You stayed on stage with them through the performance and summoned more lightning at the end of the song. There were applause for all of you when the song had ended and the band rushed over to you to thank you for coming up on stage and wanted to see Mjolnir. They loved having you on stage with them and you took plenty of pictures with the band. You reached off the stage and grabbed Tony's sleeved arm to haul him up on the stage with you. He joined in the picture taking.

It was a fun outing and Stark was surprisingly good company doing something you both enjoyed.

"Cap! I could use a boost!" you yelled on a mission fighting against monsters a couple days later. The monsters you were fighting were winged. You ran for Cap full out, your wings tucked against your back. Cap saw you running and identified your plan in an instant. You needed to get into the air fast. He positioned his shield moments before you reached him. You jumped and planted both feet on the shield and he used it to toss you high into the air. You spread your wings when you hit the top of the throw and began your aerial assault of the winged monsters.

For some reason the winged creatures didn't fare so well when their wings were blocks of ice. Strange. They started dropping from the skies quickly after that discovery.

"Loki!" you shrieked and dove, folding your wings flat against your back as you bulleted for the ground. You spread them just in time to swoop out of the dive and grabbed him, hauling him out of the way of three different attacks all aimed at him at the same time.

"Thanks, love," he told you as you set him carefully on his feet.

"Try not to die," you told him, glaring up at the winged monsters high above you both.

"Need a boost?" he asked.

"Got a ride," you replied and grabbed Stark's arm as he flew by, letting him tow you higher back into the sky. "Thanks for the ride!" you called and spread your wings to get back to what you were doing.

Until

Shit!

A piece of building was falling directly onto Loki's head. You teleported down to him, grabbed him and teleported the two of you out from under the building as it came crashing down on your heads. "I would have done that," Loki grumbled at you.

"Sure you would,"

"Kyrie, be careful. You can't fight at full strength if you're busy keeping one eye on me the entire battle. I can take care of myself," he reminded you.

"The winged creatures are weak against ice. Help me with them?" you asked. He hesitated, you both did, but he eventually nodded. "Stark, Thor, out of the way, it's going to get icy up there," you called over the comms. You grabbed Loki's hand and started a spell you'd never been allowed to try, especially together, he joined in a moment later when he realized what you were doing.

"Kyrie, we're not allowed-" he stopped when he realized why you hadn't been allowed to use this particular spell. A ball of ice appeared between between your free hands and grew as you threw power into the spell. Your skin turned blue, your eyes red as you worked. Loki was in the same state. You threw the ball of ice into the air and shot magic at it to explode it. It took down every flying monster.

The battle ended minutes later. You and Loki both were shy out in public in Jotun form. Both terrified of the reactions of the team and the public as a whole. You saw Loki fighting to shift his form back quickly, but ice was still falling from the skies and hindered your attempts to turn back. You raised your wings to shield you both from the prying eyes of the onlookers.

"Kids, you ok?" Stark asked as he landed beside you.

You nodded. "We're fine, but the ice-"

"Breathe, Kyrie. No one is going to hurt either of you," Nat reassured you as the team circled around you.

"But- we're-" you were being stupid out of fear.

"If I hear the word 'monster' come out of your mouth, I am going to slap that bit of nonsense out of you," Nat told you calmly. "Neither of you are, yes, even you Loki. Now breathe and come over here," she grabbed both of your arms in her gloved hands and hauled you both to a tent SHIELD had set up. Neither of you could relax when you looked like monsters. She pressed hot cups of coffee into your hands. "Drink it, it's not poisoned," she told you and glared at Loki when he tried to turn up his nose at coffee. You sipped on the hot coffee and could finally shift forms back to Asgardian.

"Guys, c'mon, shawarma time!" Tony called, peeking his head into the tent.

"Just a minute," Nat replied, Loki's form was still shimmering back to Asgardian. "It's still snowing," she told you both and handed you an umbrella. You vanished your wings and took the umbrella from her.

"What's up with the snowmen?" he asked, not unkindly, just curious in his teasing way.

"It's hard to change back after playing with ice," you told him and finished downing your coffee. Once you and Loki were successfully looking normal again, you stepped out into the snowfall and opened the umbrella above you so you wouldn't accidentally turn back. Usually a little snowfall wouldn't force the change, but after playing with an ice spell it was a possibility.

The entire team trudged to the shawarma restaurant, took over one of the huge tables and all ate together in your battle costumes. You were all exhausted, but devoured the food and enjoyed the simple comaraderie of celebrating a win with food. Time honored tradition on Asgard too.
