A/N: This is it! It's the end! I can't believe this is the end! But the ending that I had in mind almost matched this one, and it makes me happy. I have a couple of ideas for a sequel/series, if anyone is really interested :P (and an idea from one really awesome reader, KairacahraFlower Goddess, that someone is going to end up using! ;D)
I want to thank everyone who read this, reviewed it, alerted to it, faved it, Everything! Thank you all soooooo much!

Stay tuned for more! :D
I don't own The Avengers, Loki, Iron Man, or anything of the like. Just the thoughts inside my head.
Tony fingered one of the medallions on his jacket before Loki came in. Loki had claimed that he had a surprise for Tony, and Tony told him that he had his own surprise. He wouldn't tell Loki that he had to work with Thor to set it up.
"It's been over a month, Tony," Loki's voice filled the room as he leaned int he doorway, his own jacket on. He told Tony that he would at least need to have his medallions for what Loki had planned. Tony slipped it over his long sleeved black 'Stark' shirt and pair of jeans that hung just right on his hips.
"Yeah? I can't help it," he grinned a little. "I mean seriously, how often does a mortal become an official citizen of Asgard? It probably helps that I'm sleeping with the King's son," he smirked and jerked back to avoid Loki's elbow.
"Are you ready to go, you insufferable man?" Tony could see the smirk on Loki's lips.
"Lead the way, darling," Tony wrapped his arm around Loki's and the god rolled his eyes. Tony felt Loki's magic like static as he closed his eyes, letting Loki lead them through the lesser traveled ways of Yggdrasil.
Tony suddenly felt a wave of heat wash over him, but nothing unbearable. Loki's arm has disappeared and he felt something brush past his neck and something whisper across his ear. "Anthony Edward Stark, so soon would I see you in my realm," a soft female voice sounded. Tony's eyes shot open but saw no one. He looked around and didn't even see Loki. What he did see didn't exactly inspire confidence.
The ground was dry and dusty, with ashen looking trees littering the horizon, a wall in the distance. "Unfortunately, I can not claim your soul." Tony jumped when he turned and saw a rather tall woman standing in front of him. Long black hair hung over her shoulder and a long almost shear dress danced along with the wind. "For several reason actually." She leaned forward and ran her fingers along his jaw and under his chin, smiling.
"I never thought I could be frightened by any other woman than Pepper. I have just been proven wrong," Tony admitted, unable to look away.
"Are you sure that you're a hero of Midgard?" Tony quickly turned to look at Loki standing behind him. "Of all the things you've been through, you're scared of her?"
"Are you bringing down my reputation, Loki Odinson?" The woman turned her attention to Loki, but he seemed unfazed.
"He knows nothing of your reputation, Hela Lokidottir," Loki countered.
Tony suddenly blinked. "What? Oh god! You brought me to Hel!" Loki raised an eyebrow. "Oh. Oh!" He suddenly turned back to face the woman. "You're Hela! You're his daughter!"
Hela looked at him, then looked at Loki. "This one? This is the one that you picked? That Odin saw as fit to become part of Asgard?"
"I take offense to that," Tony pouted a little. "I'll have you know-" Loki wrapped his arm around Tony's waist.
"Yes, this is the one," Loki informed her. "He's already met Jornumgandr."
Tony smiled wistfully. "Ah yes, Jorm. He's good peoples, er, good snakes?" Hela raised an eyebrow. "I also met Sleipnir, who absolutely loves sugar cubes now."
"He must be worthy if he has already met my siblings," Hela smirked, just like Loki. "Such an odd pairing though. I had expected to see your soul down here several months ago, Anthony Stark. Phil Coulson was sure that you would come to join him."
"Agent?" Tony blinked, perking up a little. "But, he's alive and-"
"Yes, very much alive," Hela nodded. "Of what I heard from him of his short time here, I could not let Midgard lose such a valiant man, and sent him back to you."
"You can do that?" Tony raised an eyebrow. "Just send someone back from the dead?"
"It is obvious that my father tells you nothing of me," Hela scoffed, looking over to Loki.
"To be fair, we have been rather busy as of late," Loki shrugged a little.
"Do you mean the battle? Or all the sex you've been having?" Tony started to laugh as Hela smirked.
"Anthony, a moment before you leave," Hela called out to Tony as he was walking over to Loki. Loki looked at his and shrugged before he jogged over to the woman. "I can see what you plan on doing," Tony blinked a little. "And I wish to thank you."
"Thank me? Ah-" Hela put a finger to his lips.
"He has not seen him in a very long time, has been denied the ability search for him." Hela leaned forward and kissed his cheek. "I hope to see you for many years to come by my fathers side."
"I hope to stay there," Tony smiled a little and winked at her before jogging back over to Loki.
"What did she want?" Loki took Tony's hand as he prepared his spell to travel.
"To let me know that I had better plan on staying by your side," Tony grinned. "I don't wanna end up dead and down here with her if I do wrong by you, so I don't think that's gonna be a problem." Loki snorted and the magic started to dance along his fingers. "Oh, let me add something." Tony added some of his own magic to the spell as Loki finished it and they disappeared suddenly.
As they appeared back on Midgard, Loki looked around knowing that this wasn't the destination he had planned for. He turned to look at Tony who was grinning. "Why would you add to the spell? Who even taught you how to do that?"
"Well, you're the one who taught me the basics of magic, and I know I'm still learning, but I improvised." Tony grinned and looked around at where they had ended up. It seemed that they were in a mountainous region and were standing on some naturally formed path ways and outcroppings not too high up.
"Is there a specific reason that you have sidetracked us so?" Loki let some of his irritation flow through his voice. Tony pulled away from the god and started to walk down the path, looking for something. Sighing Loki followed him at a more sedate pace and watched as Tony turned around a bend.
"Found it!" He heard Tony call.
"What exactly-" Loki turned the bend and stopped, his breath catching in his throat. Loki didn't notice the way Tony was grinning, or how he rocked back and forth on his heels, or even the way he almost lost his balance. All he saw was the large, beautiful, black furred wolf sitting in front of them.
Tony watched as Loki moved quickly over to Fenrir, starting to whisper in Old Norse, and held up a hand. The wolf instantly butted his head against Loki's hand, closing his eyes. Loki suddenly threw his arms around Fenrir's neck and took a deep breath. Tony blinked a little and rubbed his knuckles by his eyes. There was an unfamiliar stinging sensation that Tony refused to admit could have been tears. He wouldn't deny the smile that crossed his face though.
Tony leaned against the rock wall and watched the two. Thor had helped Tony find Fenrir after telling the inventor that Loki had not been able to see Fenrir for a couple of centuries. Looking at the scene of the reunion, Tony thought he could stand there for a week and he could feel content. Loki was happy, and he'd do anything to keep it that way.
