The sun will shine on us again

Chapter 23

It all started after a week after Loki's return to Midgard. A call from Nick Fury, informing them that the planet of Xandar will be under attack and needs backup. The danger is approaching it.

Steve, Clint, Natasha, and Bucky were at the Avengers compound while T'challa was keeping Vision and Wanda in Wakanda to protect Vision if Thanos came.

"Xandar is the home planet of the Nova Corps. "Thor was the one who said that, he was standing with the avengers, Loki and Bucky in the meeting room.

"And what is this? "it was Steve who asked.

"They are an intergalactic military and police force of the Nova Empire. "Thor answered.

Loki's face paled. "It has started, they are responsible for protecting the power stone. "

Realization dawned on Thor's face. "Brother. "his voice was laced in concern. He knew what Loki was talking about but the avengers, except Tony, were looking at him in confusion.

"And what is the power stone? "Bucky asked.

"It's one of the infinity stones. "Thor said, going to stand next to his brother who was staring into nothingness.

suddenly Loki snapped from where he was thinking.

"Most of you have heard the name, Thanos." He said, flinching at the name, but he pulled a blank face again. It was the time to tell them about what happened since his fall into the void.

"When I fell into the Void," Loki said, and Bucky interrupted

"the Void?"

"Not now, James. "Tony said sharply and looked at Loki in concern.

"Thanos has found me. He already had the mind stone, which was in the stuff he gave it to me. He wanted the Tesseract which was another stone, the space stone. " And then he said in a more panicked voice. "he was able to take over my mind and control me. "

"Loki, you don't have to continue. "Tony was looking at Loki, who was on the verge of crying.

But Loki wasn't calming down. How can he? And Thanos is approaching, he will kill them all. "He is in love with Lady death and he is going to give her our souls as a gift for courting her . "

"All of this to woo a woman! "Tony exclaimed in disbelief.

Loki nodded.

"So we must gather the stones before him? "Steve asked Loki, who nodded at him. "Do you know where these stones are? ".

"Yes, we have three of them here on Midgard. Time, space, and mind. "

"And one in Xander's planet. "Natasha said.

"Yes. "Loki said, and then looked at Thor. "Thor, you will bring the power stone with you. "

"But what about you? "Thor asked, he doesn't want to leave Loki again.

"The collector has the reality stone. Me and Tony will get it. "

"But brother.... " Thor started to protest but....

"Thor, we must divide ourselves if we want to find the stones before Thanos finds them. "Steve said, looking at him in sympathy.

Everyone knows Thor doesn't want to leave his brother after what happened to him.

"What about the rest of the stones? "Clint asked.

"You, Natasha, and Bruce will bring the time stone, a man named Dr. Strange posses it. "

Clint nodded, he had heard of him.

"Steve and James will go back to Wakanda to protect Vision. "

"But there is one stone left. "Bruce frowned.

"The Soul Stone, right? "Tony looked at Loki, who nodded at him.

"It requires scarification, and I doubt Thanos has someone whom he loves," he said bitterly.

Well, except Lady death. Loki thought.

"Okay, so we will be divided like that and return to Wakanda with the stones. "Steve said. And then looked at Bucky and Loki. "Avengers Assemble! "

And No one objected that Loki and Bucky are now considered avengers.

.....................

"Brother, I wish to speak to you. "Thor said before leaving to Xander's planet.

Loki nodded, which made Thor continue. "You will be careful, Loki. I want you to return here safely, with or without the Stone. "Thor said firmly.

"And you too, brother. "Loki smiled warmly at him.

"Don't do anything rash. "

"Say that to yourself. "Loki teased him, but he was still smiling at him.

And then Thor pulled him into a tight hug which Loki reciprocated.

"Be safe, brother. "Loki whispered.
