Congratulations (Loki's Army)

[Johnny Storm/Loga/Human Torch]

(ooc: January 5th. Set after hanging out.)

John was nervous as he helped bring Johnny to the medical ward. They'd summoned the doctors and nurses to check him out. John was worried he'd caught some Asgardian flu or something. Now he was standing outside in the hallway with the others while Johnny was being examined. He turned and hugged Loki knowing he was probably just as worried as he was.

"He's going to be okay right?" asked John.

XXXX

Evan had helped them bring in Johnny who was being examined. He was worried as well. He was still a bit nervous to how Richard was acting around Torian. But he was going to focus on Johnny and hoped he was okay.

XXXX

Johnny was nervous as the doctors scanned him and examined him. They were using magic incantations and herbs and whatnot. He just wished he wasn't alone but the doctors insisted everyone be outside while they finished the examination. He was really worried something was wrong. What if he caught some Asgardian or Frost Giant flu? Loki was a Frost Giant after all. He didn't want to die.

XXXX

Jennifer had made sure the slaves were sent back to their quarters and had followed the group curious and worried about Johnny. She now stood outside waiting with the group to find out what was going on.

[Loki]

(OCC: Doing the doctor's and nurses POV too and you can as well johnny to keep this going. After this post, I'll let Loki and Torian come in to the center)

Despite Johnny and John's anger towards him beforehand, after Johnny's passing out from sickness, John and Johnny's anger turned into forgiveness and worry over his sickness. But Loki wouldn't care if they said they hated him, Johnny was sick and Loki was so nervous he felt like he was going to die. If he wasn't surrounded by doctors, family and allies, he would've hid himself away and cried. He didn't know what to do. This was his fault. All of it. He should've been more careful. Something was wrong and it could've been his fault and it may have been. He was glad that at least Jennifer, Trigger, Richard, Torian, Evan and of course his adopted son John was here. He probably wouldn't survive this nightmare alone.

Suddenly he looked down and saw John hug him tightly and ask about johnny. Loki could NEVER want to make John more afraid than he was. He may have just adopted him but John needed comfort, not him. Loki hugged him tight, ruffling the boy's hair and holding him close "Of course" Loki said, sincerely enough to make it totally believable "He will be fine. These doctors are the best in the nine realms. I'm sorry for all of this John. If I knew what was wrong, I would fix it instantly" Loki couldn't help but instantly think that when Johnny would get out of this, he would make Johnny immortal and less harmed by illness with his magic or the golden apples. But that was something he had to wait upon.
XXXX

Do not be hard on yourself, your majesty. What matters is that we are going to find out about Master Johnny, the doctors will do everything they can. They must Trigger said, putting a gentle hand on the king's shoulder. He was very aware how afraid Loki was for Johnny's health. In fact, many were, Trigger himself was for sure. He turned to Jennifer who seemed nervous and Trigger closed his eyes with a deep breath. The mute was frightened but hoped with all his heart that the man would make it out.
XXXXX

"The mute is right, sire. Johnny will be alright. And you mustn't worry either dear john, your father will make it" Torian said, rubbing john's back as kindly as possible. Despite his going with Richard, he had no ill will against him. Whatever Richard's deal was, it wasn't something torian was going to attack him towards. The asgardian just assumed it was a bad day and nothing more. Torian had other things to worry about. Like Johnny.
XXXX

"Poor Johnny" Richard mumbled to evan as he waited nearby. He stayed away from torian but was near evan. Like Evan, this whole debate with torian got slightly out of his grasp. So he ignored it and focused on the johnny situation. What was wrong? Was something the matter? How could this be?
XXXXX

"Nurses. It does not seem to be a illness at all. This is most strange" The main doctor said "It seems to be side affects to something"

"Yes, it seems to be not a flu. Just some sort of untreated morning sickness" One nurse said. Then the nurse saw Johnny's terrified face and smiled softly "We're almost done, your highness. You must relax. We are not picking up anything fatal" The nurses then brought more herbs and the doctor came in for a closer inspection. Focusing more on Johnny's stomach area more than anything. All the nurses and doctor were shocked but observed then the doctor nodded.

"I think I know what it is. Ginea, send his majesty, prince john, prince evan and Torian here please" The doctor said and ginea went over to do the doctor's command.

"You may come in now" Ginea said

[Rowan/Evan Thompson]

John smiled assured by Loki unaware how frightened Loki really was.

"Thank you. For trying to help me." said John.

He paused looking in shock as the doctors came out saying to go in. He walked in worried about Johnny. When they were all in he turned to a doctor and was shocked at what they said.

"He's what?" asked John.

To his surprise Johnny then fainted.

"Is he ok?" asked John.

John froze as the doctor said Johnny and the baby's health were in danger with their conflicting powers.

"So does that mean we have to put the collar back on Johnny? To block his powers and theirs? But then someone could hurt him again. Like that Doom creep." said John.

XXXX

Jennifer sighed. She paused as the others walked in. She remained outside not wanting to intrude on a private family moment.

"I'm sure he'll be find your highness. We'll be out here if you need anything." said Jennifer.

XXXX

Evan paused and walked in after John. He was focused on Johnny and not on Richard. Or what else had happened at that dinner. He was shocked as well. He grinned at the news and chuckled as Johnny fainted.

"Congratulations brother. I'm a uncle. Again!" said Evan.

He turned to his nephew and shook his head.

"Victor will never get that close to Johnny. And no one else would dare attack the king's consort. They fools would never live to carry out that plan." said Evan.

He was normally a more compassionate guy. But when someone threatened someone he cared about. All bets were off.

XXXX

Johnny smiled seeing some of the others walk in. He was speechless as the doctor delivered the news.

"What? You must be joking. I can't possibly be-"

He trailed off as the doctor confirmed it and he then passed out onto his bed.

XXXX

The medical staff escorted the group in and shared the news.

"Johnny is pregnant your highness. I'm afraid Johnny's fire powers and your children's Frost Giant nature are clashing. When Johnny ignited his powers in anger it hurt your kids and they froze his body to save themselves. They can't handle extreme heat but he can't handle extreme cold. You're having three children from our seers have foreseen." said the doctor.

He shook his head at Johnny's claim.

"I don't joke about my patient's care. Especially on matters as serious as this." said the doctor.

Then Johnny fainted as his vitals were checked.

"He's fine. He just fainted. The stress of the pregnancy and his shock of the news must have been too much for him. I do think we need to do something about him though. I fear Johnny's powers could kill your children or your children could kill Johnny and themselves if something's not done." said the doctor.

[Loki]

(OCC: I'm gonna be honest. I don't know how to solve the power issue. Up to you how to do it lol. Anything you want)

Loki smiled, satisfied that John was alright. Then all of a sudden they were in the medical bay. While Evan congratulated him, like Johnny Loki was not too sure but was very shocked to realize what the true issue was. Johnny was pregnant with his children. Although hints of joy were within him, his joy ceased when the doctor told him the issue and Johnny passing out. Loki quickly came over, holding Johnny's hand tight before listening to the doctor. He then responded to the doctor "I thank you doctor. I shall work on anything to insure the children and Johnny's safety. Since you are medically prepared more than I perhaps you have a solution that is best for Johnny's health. I have magic but I worry that without preparement I could accidentally do something wrong. I do not want to endanger my consort and our children in any way"

He winced, hating himself for not knowing what he was supposed to do. He turned to John and responded softly "John, I swear upon my life that I will never let anyone dare harm Johnny. Maybe we do need to use the collar but I will die before having Johnny get hurt by anyone. I promise you. Nothing will come to harm Johnny"
XXXX

"Pregnant?! This is marvelous news!" Torian said before Johnny passed out. Torian also checked but was relieved that the king's consort only fainted. He then went over to John and nodded at everything Evan said "Indeed. And only fools rush in with pathetic harmful attempts. As a protector of this kingdom, I will not have anyone come to harm Johnny. Rest assured, prince john. Nothing will get past me" He smiled assuringly. He then nodded "Indeed doctor. Is there a idea you have? A healing potion? Something non-magical or magical? We must be cautious now that we know the king is expecting some children"

[Rowan/Evan Thompson]

John smiled as he heard Loki speak saying he wouldn't let anyone harm Johnny. Evan and Torian backed him up as John sighed.

"I just wish I could help him. What are we going to do?" asked John.

John grinned as Johnny woke up only frowned seeing his reaction.

"Dad don't cry. Papa loves you and he'd never leave you." said John.

XXXX

Evan paused trying to think coming up with an idea.

"We need a spell to turn your kids into Asgardians at least for the pregnancy. Or turn Johnny into an immortal so he and your children can handle the extreme heat of Johnny's powers or the extreme cold that your babies would want." said Evan.

Evan modded as John spoke trying to calm Johnny after he woke up.

"Your son is right Johnny. Your family Johnny. My brother loves you and you're not getting rid of him, or John or me that easily. You're stuck with us." said Evan.

XXXX

Johnny moaned waking up from his brief fainting spell seeing the concerned look of his family and friends and all the doctors. He spotted Loki and moved away from him. He was starting to cry. It was a mixture of the pregnancy and the stress of the situation.

"It wasn't a dream. I'm really pregnant. I'm a freak. I'm going to get fat and unattractive and you aren't going to want me anymore." said Johnny.

[Loki]

"I like Evan's idea of turning Johnny into a immortal the best, your highness. Johnny now that he is pregnant must be required to handle the children" Torian offered kindly. He smiled when Loki immediately knew a way to make Johnny immortal and smiled as he and Evan began working together. He then saw Johnny and the man frowned softly, sympathetic assuming Johnny was only saying this stuff out of illness and stress of the babies within him. It was a lot to take in. Torian felt really sorry for his majesty.

"You're under a lot of stress, Johnny. You are not any of those things. You are with family and friends. We will help you through this" Torian replied
XXXXX

Loki beamed brightly "Brother! You're brilliant!" He then nodded "There is a way to make Johnny immortal, I've been searching into it before but it is much more dire now. Now that..." He breathed softy both out of joy and shock "Now that we are due to have children" He then watched as Johnny awoke from his fainting spell. However instead of being calmer, Johnny got even more anxious. To the point of crying and panicking. Loki didn't care whether or not Johnny meant it, it broke his heart to see his consort in so much emotional turmoil.

He gently guided his way over to Johnny, moving Evan and John carefully for him to be as close to Johnny as possible. Loki gently held Johnny's hand, then he gently went over and kissed Johnny's forehead. He didn't care if anyone saw him anymore. Hell, he didn't care if this day made anyone question his strength. What was important right now was Johnny and his care. "Johnny, you have always been beautiful and you will continue to be beautiful. You are anything but a freak, you are one of the best things to have happened upon my unworthy life. I will love you no matter what happens. I will always want you. I will always be here for you"

He then looked affectionately at Johnny's stomach before staring into Johnny's eyes "Nothing will ever change the fact that I care about you Johnny"

[Jennifer Walters/She Hulk]

Evan paused.

"Perhaps we should wait on this idea. We don't want to make Johnny sick or stress the pregnancy. The doctors could tell you when it's a good idea." said Evan.

Evan smiled glad everyone was pleased with the idea. He just wanted to him his brother and future brother-in-law.

"I can't believe our family's growing. My brother's consort, an adopted nephew and now children." said Evan.

XXXX

John grinned.

"This is a blessing. I'm going to have siblings. I can't believe after you just..."

He trailed off and paled.

"That bastard not only hurt you but almost hurt my..."

He clenched his fists in anger pulling out his lighter as he summoned a fireball from it.

"I'm going to kill him. I'm going to kill him!" said John.

He tried to run but Evan tackled him to the ground instead.

"No. Let me go. That bastard nearly killed my dad and my siblings. Can't let him get away with it." said John.

XXXX

Evan held John down glancing at Torian hoping he'd help him hold him down.

"John it's ok. Victor has a new master. He'll definitely be punished. Believe me. Death is too good for him. He deserves to suffer for what he did. Death just ends his suffering too quickly." said Evan

XXXX

Johnny relaxed into Loki's touch holding him closely.

"I don't know if it's the hormones or my own insecurities. Maybe both. I guess part of me's never felt worthy of you since we met. And now that I know you love me it hasn't gone away like I hoped. I don't know if I could ever handle get my heart broken by you." whispered Johnny.

He paused looking up as John started to run but Evan and Torian seemed to both tackle him. He heard Evan's words and he nodded.

"John my son he's right. Doom can't hurt anyone anymore. Going after him now will just let the bastard win. He wants to be free even if it 's death. But he should suffer and that's what he's going to do." said Johnny.

XXXX

Jennifer meanwhile stood outside hearing shouting and thumping noises. She hoped everything was okay in there.

[Torian]

"I wish to congratulate you once again your highness" Torian replied with delight to Loki. He then left him be for the moment to talk and be with Johnny the most. He then went to Evan and nodded, as a loyal guard to the family he felt so humbled to be standing and being around the family during this new time. Suddenly the mood changed to worry and anger at Victor, Torian saw Evan grab his nephew and restrain him from going out. Torian was light on his feet and helped Evan pull Prince John back "John, your grace, you must calm down. The bastard is too unworthy of death. He is not worth your time. He will not get away with his crimes of harming your father or your siblings!"
XXXXX

Loki meanwhile was focused on Johnny for a moment. He allowed Johnny to hold him close and Loki was just as affectionate. Despite the chaos, moods and bad times, Loki was very happy with Johnny. He was happy to have johnny as the bearer of his children and as his love. Loki gently kissed him again as he responded "Whatever makes you feel the way you do is untrue. I love you and will continue to prove it to you with every breath I have. I cannot think of a more worthy mother of my children. I cannot think of a more beautiful and kind person than you. Only a fool would be so bold as to break that wonderful heart of yours"

Loki then held Johnny a bit but saw his adopted son get angry at the acknowledge that his siblings could've been killed by Victor. Loki shared John's rage but he had to be a leader and he too composed himself. What was the point to get angry when he was being dealt with anyway? "John, we all share your anger but what is important is Johnny is safe and out of harm's way. He will be protected and Victor is too well-enslaved to do anything if he tried. No one is going to hurt johnny ever again. I promised you that and I am sure to keep this promise"
XXXX

Trigger jumped at the sudden noise. He at first heard only gasps and shocking responses but because of the door, it was mumbled. Now it was loud shouting, noises of things being shoved off and evident struggling. Trigger went with Jennifer and looked to her with a somewhat confused look. What the hell was going on? He sighed then talked to her with his abilities I do have to wonder what is happening. I pray that Master Johnny is alright

[John Allerdyce/Pyro]

Evan sighed as John seemed to be calming down.

"Don't even think of Victor anymore John. He's been dealt with. If something else comes up Loki will deal with it." said Evan.

He stood up and helped John to his feet seeing him calming down.

XXXX

John sighed and nodded as Evan helped him up again.

"Thanks for stopping me. And you're right. I won't think about him anymore." said John.

He smiled at everyone else. They had also helped convince him to back off. They were right. It wasn't his job to protect his family. Even though he wanted to. He paused realizing Torian and Jennifer were outside. He opened the door rushing out to tell them.

"Johnny's pregnant. The seers say it will be triplets. I'm going to be a big brother." said John.

XXXX

Johnny smiled holding Loki close feeling more vulnerable than ever with this pregnancy.

"How did i get so lucky to have you? A son and three babies on the way? I must be dreaming." said Johnny.

He grinned seeing John feel better and then rush out to spread the news.

"The whole castle's going to know pretty soon." said Johnny.

XXXX

Jennifer nodded.

"I hope so." said Jennifer.

She paused as the door flung open and John announced the news.

"That's wonderful!" said Jennifer.

She wasn't sure how it was possible but Johnny and Loki both had powers and Johnny's body wasn't exactly human anymore with those cosmic rays. So she wasn't going to question it. She smiled hugging John and saw the happy group inside the room.

"Congratulations King Loki. Johnny." said Jennifer.

She smiled glad to get some good news.

[Loki]

Torian assisted Evan with John and smiled, relieved that John seemed to be pacified by them "Evan is correct. Think nothing of that worm" Torian then smiled as the young prince rushed to tell Jennifer and Trigger. While Trigger went to fetch Richard, Torian went over to Jennifer and nodded in agreement "A glorious day for the royal family if I do say so myself. I am truly pleased by the results"
XXXXX

Loki held Johnny close, protectively almost. Now that he was going to have more children, the time was of the essence. He had to find a way to make his son and his consort immortal and soon. He kept Johnny close and gave a tender kiss on the head "I think it is I who does not deserve you or this family. I am the one who is fortunate" He then laughed as John excitedly began to tell the news "Let them! This is a joyous occasion. New heirs to the throne and more addition to the family"
XXXX

The mute turned and braced himself for the worst but saw John come with absolute joy. Trigger's eyes widened with delight as he heard the news. He beamed with pride and he couldn't help but clap his hands. What amazing news! He scurried over to Evan and John, enthusiastically shaking their hands I do congratulate all of you! What a marvelous thing! Little ones on the way will be a wonderful addition to the kingdom! I bid master johnny all my good will and happiness Trigger then turned to John If you will excuse me my prince, I will assist in telling the brilliant news

Trigger saw Richard farther in the corridor, nervously biting his fingers. Trigger patted Richard and hugged him Master Johnny is expecting! Three little ones! Triplet babies! He saw Richard run off to meet evan and the mute chuckled raspily.
XXXX

Richard was worried for Evan's sake of what was wrong with Johnny but instead of being with people, he tended to be alone to his thoughts. Nervously biting his fingers, he hoped nothing of ill went towards Johnny due to unrequited fear. He then saw Trigger hurry over and he was about to ask but Trigger hugged him and announced to him actually great news. Richard gasped "Johnny's pregnant? No way! That's amazing! That's awesome!" He raced to find the others. He then quickly laughed with joy to Evan and John "Babies! You guys are gonna have babies!"

He gave John a hug "I'm so happy for you! That's awesome, man!" He then turned to evan and, despite himself, gave Evan a huge hug too "You're a uncle! That's so great!"

[Jennifer Walters/She Hulk]

John grinned glad to spread the news.

"This is great. I'm going to be a big brother." said John.

He smiled as Richard hugged him and then went over to Evan. He heard Richard's words to Evan and he smirked.

"What am I? Chopped liver?" asked John.

He grinned as Evan ruffled up his hair.

XXXX

Jennifer nodded as Torian joined her.

"It certainly is. I guess his powers helped him somehow? Or maybe it's because Loki's an alien." said Jennifer.

She was still confused how it happened but it was still a miracle.

XXXX

Johnny smiled as Loki held him close.

"No. You deserve every happiness you got. Two brothers, four children, and me." said Johnny.

He smiled as the word seemed to be spreading. He then looked down at his stomach and frowned.

"Reed, Sue, Ben and Alicia. Are still out there somewhere. They're not going to know about them. They're not going to know have them as aunts and uncles. I know they'd love this. Especially Sue. What if I never see them again?" said Johnny.

He was more emotional than usual with the pregnancy as he took comfort with Loki being so close. He wrapped his arms around Loki bringing him closer. Perhaps holding him a bit too tightly.

"Don't ever leave me ok? I can't lose you too." said Johnny.

XXXX

Evan grinned seeing Richard join them. He hugged John before hugging himself.

"This is great news." said Richard.

He chuckled at John's words.

"You're just my favorite nephew." said Evan, ruffling his hair.

[Loki]

"Oh hell no you're not. Come here future big brother!" Richard grabbed John and hugged him tightly. Richard then started panicking "Oh crap. I don't even know what to get the babies! Or the parents! Do I get binkies? Do asgardians have binkies? What about diapers?! Or baby food?!" Richard never had children. Let alone younger siblings, but Richard was a mother at heart and loved children. He turned to Evan and John and replied "We should make a party! Get the guards or something to fix this place up! Oooh, this is so awesome! We're having babies in the castle! I'm gonna be a godfather!" He turned to Trigger and gasped "Wait, I wanna be a godfather too!" Richard then said absentmindedly "Or a uncle or something!"
XXXXX

Now richard. I don't think overwhelming John, Evan and yourself makes things progress any faster. We just learned the news. Blessed as we are, we must give Johnny some space. He just figured this out himself. Let us ask them once Johnny and Loki have gotten their facts straight Trigger then chuckled Besides, if anyone deserves to be a godfather it's me. Because I deal with Loki's ramblings over nonsense all the time at meetings. How his children are going to survive is beyond me He laughed a very raspy laugh before replying I tease. I tease He then put his hands on John's shoulders with a soft smile Be proud. You will be a wonderful brother. I see it in you. You have your father's spirit. Johnny I mean
XXXXX

"That is the assumption. His powers however are also harming the children. They cannot handle extreme heat. The king is working on a solution" Torian replied to Jennifer. He smiled as the small group talked. He then turned to her "Shall we tell the others about the news? Aren't they a little anxious? It was a rather dramatic way to learn about this"
XXXXX

Loki sighed softly and affectionately at his consort, and mother of his children, told him he did deserve this. Loki didn't believe it but he held his tongue. He then gave a determined look as Johnny wished his friends and family were here to see his pregnancy. "We're going to find them, love. We will. They will see our children. It just is difficult to find them. They still think I'm out to hurt them" He sighed, hugging his lover as the man got more emotional. He gently shushed him as the man begged for the king not to leave him. "Never. I would never abandon my love who is the mother of my children. Nor my children. I will be here for you always"
