She swatted at his head, but she was still laughing. "Don't get cheeky with me young man."

Loki only grinned. After a few minutes they parted ways, Loki and the gang going further in the marketplace. Turning Loki bumped into someone, hard.

"I'm sorr-" Loki's apology died in his throat as he saw exactly who it was that he had bumped into. Thor.

No no no. What's he doing here? Why is he here? How did he find me? What will he do? Will he be mad? Loki's thought ran frantically.

These questions didn't help. Panic rose in his chest. He couldn't breath. He couldn't breathe. Thor then hugged him yet that didn't calm him. He could feel all his muscles become tight with tension. Thor was saying something but nothing registered in his mind.

The only thing that did register was the panic that rose in his chest even more. He was scared.

Thor's eyes widened. Loki. They found him! Safe and sound. Not hurt. Not in any pain. He couldn't help it. He really couldn't. The relief and happiness of his brother being well and safe overwhelmed him. He hugged him.

"My brother. You're safe. I've been so worried." Sadly in his overwhelmed state Thor failed to notice Loki's condition. But others did.

Jenny was surprised when Loki stopped in the middle of his apology. What surprised her even more was the pure fear that filled his face.

She looked to the person he had bumped into. It was his brother. It was Thor. Why was Loki afraid of him? Did he do something wrong? Or did Thor do something to Loki? She was shocked.

Then Thor moved forward and hugged him. Thor hugged Loki. And Loki froze. He became stiff, tense. Then she saw his breathing. He couldn't breathe. He was having a panic attack. She shoved Thor aside at the same time Tony Stark did.

"Thor, he's panicking." Tony Stark said.

While she yelled, "Can't you see you're scaring him?"
________________________

Tony saw it. Tony saw some guy bump into Thor. He saw Thor's eyes widened. And then he saw Thor hug that guy. And that's where the problems start. The guy started breathing harshly.

Thor said "My brother." which obviously meant that the guy was Loki. Which also meant that Loki was having a panic attack. Tony had had enough in his life after his time in Afghanistan and The Chitauri Invasion to recognize the signs.

Loki, the God of Mischief was having a panic attack. He went forward and gently pried Thor off of Loki. "Thor, he's panicking."

He also saw a woman walk up to Thor at the same time and yell at him. "Can't you see you're scaring him?"

Thor's eyes widened. "Wha-Loki!" He grabbed Loki by the arms not realizing he was making things worse. Loki flinched horribly, hiding his face. His illusion faded. Gasp emitted from the crowd. Whispers started up.

Both the woman and Thor started talking to him in hushed tones. Loki started looking around frantically. His eyes were glazed, as if he didn't even remember where he was. 'Yep', Tony thought, 'definitely a panic attack.'

Loki felt more then see Thor being pried from him. He still couldn't feel anything but panic. Why was he even panicking? Thor wasn't going to hurt him right? Then Thor yelled his name and grabbed his arms.

He couldn't help the flinch. His memories were flashing in front of his eyes. He flinched and his concentration on his illusion was now gone. His illusion had faded. Meaning he looked like himself. Not like Luke.

He heard gasps. All around him. People were whispering.

"Isn't that Loki?"

"Didn't he attack Earth?"

"Wasn't he a bad guy?"

"I thought he had gone missing. So, he was hiding here all this time?"

Loki's vision blurred. The whispers, they were back. Not again. Not again. The faces all around him morphed, they became shadows. They changed. They were laughing at him. They were whispering, mocking. He covered his ears. He saw two forms move towards him. What did they want? Were they going to hurt him? He tried hiding himself behind his arms.

They did nothing. Only spoke something. Something. What were they saying? Loki couldn't hear anything. He tried to focus on the voices but the whispers, they were still there. Why couldn't he breathe?

Then he heard something. The two voices stopped. The whispers, they-they stopped. A voice spoke again. Soft, little, young. "-le Loki?"

Loki. That was his name. The voice was calling him. He focused on the voice. "-oki? What's wrong?"

His vision cleared slowly. His chest, his lungs, they were no longer constricted. He could breath.

"Uncle Loki? Are you ok?" It was Helena, looking at him. She was talking out loud. Asking him if he was alright. She was talking out loud. He nodded, getting up slowly. When did he sit down?

"I'm...I'm fine." He patted the distressed girl's head.

"Loki?" He looked up at the concerned eyes of Thor and Jenny.

"Thor, I-I can explain."

"Forget explaining. Are you alright? Here take water. Drink it slowly." Jemny handed him a bottle. He drank. One sip. Two. He was thirsty.

"I-" Thor began but was interrupted as an explosion was heard from the city. Everyone screamed in fear. Helena clung to Loki. The Avengers looked towards the city only to find alien aircrafts hovering over it. Another alien attack was happening. People started scrambling for cover.

Loki took Helena and Jenny and teleported them to the house while the Avengers flew off. Thor only looked back sadly once as Loki teleported. Maria came out looking worried. "Guys..."

"Who the hell are you?" Rory asked standing in front of her. It was then that Loki remembered his disguise wasn't on.

"Maria, go to the basement with the kids and Jenny, alright?"

Maria nodded and took Rory's hand. "We'll explain everything." She told the confused neighbor. Jenny handed Rosie to her while ushering the rest of them inside.

"What about you, Loki?"

Loki smiled, "I'm an Avenger, Jenny. I have to do my job."

Jenny unexpectedly hugged Loki who, after a brief moment of shock, hugged her back as well. "Stay safe, okay?" she said and let go.

"Of course. The kids will kill me if I won't." With that he disappeared in green and golden light. Jenny went inside, silently praying to whatever god would listen that Loki would remain safe..
