AN at bottom

ack's POV

Jack sat, his back to a cliff, deep in the Antarctic wasteland. His tears had long since run dry, and now he sat motionless, not even reaching to clear his tears from where they had frozen on his cheeks.

His dad has broken his promise. He had said he would come back. He hadn't.

Jack buried his head between his knees and stared at the icy floor.

A shadow fell over him and Jack sighed. "Go away." He told it. "I want to be alone." He wasn't in the mood to deal with any of his friends, to smile for the people he knew.

"Come now Jokul, don't sulk."

Jack's eyes widened in disbelief and his head snapped up.

"Didn't I say I would come back?" His father asked, a smirk on his face, through his eyes showed his concern.

"Dad." Jack whispered, almost reverently. "DAD!" He yelled, jumping up and throwing himself at the man, hugging him as his tears ran anew. "How?" He asked after a minute or so.

His father chuckled. "There was a reason that I wanted to fight alone you know." He told Jack, who only gripped him tighter. "Because none of you were close the Avenger's couldn't tell that I was controlling Thanos's dead body."

"Thank you." Jack said into his father's shoulder, seeming to ignore Loki's plotting in favour of his gratitude for his father still being alive.

They stayed like that for a few minutes before Jack drew back and wiped his face, grinning.

"I have to go tell Uncle Thor." Jack said excitedly.

His father grabbed his arm and shook his head. "Did you not just listen Jokul? I don't want any of them knowing I'm still alive, not even Thor. He would tell Odin that I yet live and then I would have to answer for my crimes on Asgard."

"But, we can't not tell him." Jack was horrified, his Uncle had cried for Loki, Tooth had told him even if he hadn't seen it himself.

Loki shook his head. "Maybe in the future Jokul, but not now."

Jack hesitantly nodded in agreement before sitting back down, his father sitting next to him.

They sat like that for a while, Jack smiling contentedly before his father reached out and hit him lightly over the head.

"Owww!" Jack exaggerated his pain. "What was that for?"

"That was for telling the Avengers about Thanos."

Jack pouted and looked at his father. "I thought you'd forgotten about that."

The look Loki shot him told him exactly how stupid a thing that was to assume.

Nonetheless, Jack smiled. "I'm really glad you're not dead dad."

Loki looked at him, then smiled as well. "As am I Jokul, as am I."
