The Golden Ticket (Open)

[Johnny Storm/Loga/Human Torch]

(ooc: January 17th. Morning.)

Evan sighed as he sat at the fountain as he arrived. He couldn't help but grin seeing it was the same fountain he'd met. It had been three days since their first strike against the rebellion. Some were still recovering from their wounds. And they'd surprising managed to get some captives. But his healing hadn't improved much. He had no choice but to revert to his Frost Giant form and take some medicine that Arion and Loki had gotten for him. He had tried to hide from Richard but the guy had been persistent. And to his embarrassment had thought his Frost Giant form was cute. Something Loki and Johnny kept pointing out several times to him. He sipped from his water bottle wanting the others to get here. Evan flinched seeing John and Johnny talk as Johnny snapped at John and then Arion. He sent out a telepathic message to Loki.

"Brother you might want to get here before your fiancee lights you son's fiancee on fire. Or your son." thought Evan.

XXXX

John was recovering from injuries from the previous battle. Thankfully they hadn't been too bad. But he'd stayed away from Johnny at first cause the guy had taken one look at him and practically grounded him to the palace. John was furious at being treated like a child but Arion had been there for him when he needed him. He heard Loki had a way to make people immortal. Something he guessed was for Johnny, Richard and himself at least the trio was dating a trio of Frost Giants masquerading as Asgardians. He'd wondered Arion really looked like but hadn't said anything in case he liked his new human form. He didn't want to make Arion go back if he didn't like lookin alike an ice monster after all. John gasped as Johnny arrived and squeezed him.

"Dad let me go. I'm ok!" said John.

John blushed as Johnny spoke.

"But Arion, Papa and the others were there. I wasn't alone." said John.

John grinned seeing Arion arrive but grabbed Johnny stopping him from trying to hurt Arion.

"Dad stop it's not his fault. I fight my own battles." said John.

He turned looking at Arion sheepishly.

"I'm sorry. He's been moody latey since well you know." said John.

XXXX

Johnny was nervous as he walked out next. He grabbed John practically squeezing him too hard.

"I know but I'm so worried about you. I can't be out there to protect you. I knew i shouldn't have let you go out there." said Johnny.

He paused looking up seeing Arion arrive and glared at him.

"You were supposed to keep my son safe." said Johnny, as his hand started to flame on.

He paused turning to John and snapped at him.

"I AM NOT MOODY!" said Johnny.

[Kalin]

(OCC: Richard will bring in Tom later. Tom and Kalin and Torian among whoever you want will be witnesses to the awesome event because. For now here's loki, Torian, Arion and Kalin)

Arion was beside John at all times thanks to being constantly distracted at the same time protective during the battle. Arion was glad they survived and managed to snatch prizes such as captives. But it was far from fun. John got injured and Arion was beating himself up. Sure he too got injured but he'd rather get hurt than John himself. He was not so injured as to be forced to his frost giant form just yet. But he saw that John was curious due to his uncle, Evan, being one for the moment. Something that pissed Evan, attracted Richard and amused the couple. Arion was about to once again reunite with john when Johnny confronted him. He was about to get harmed but John stepped in the way. Kalin, Torian and Loki were coming by to both make sure nobody got hurt and Loki seemed to be getting ready for something.

"Think nothing of this John. He is absolutely right" Arion encouraged John to step aside. Arion then humbly kneeled before Johnny and his hands were on the ground. "I did my best but it wasn't enough. Your son deserves more than the best. Moody or not, you have your right to be upset with my failings" He looked up to Johnny, with desperate eyes "I beg for your forgiveness, sir. If not that, then mercy if your heart can do so"

Loki was just finishing up the details when he finally retrieved the spell he had been looking for. After the battle and seeing his adopted son and family getting hurt, it woke him up far more than ever. The king couldn't lose his first son and certainly not anyone else. It made him triple the efforts. He finally had it and grabbed three vessels for the people they were for. John, Johnny and Richard Hughes. He then got a message, telepathic, from evan. Saying that Johnny was ready to burn his son and Arion up. With the vessels and a book, he ran to the fountain. Seeing Arion kneel for Johnny satisfied him but it also made him want to calm Johnny down.

He was shocked to see Arion be so humble in display. "Johnny, love, please calm down. We all did what we could to protect john. What is important is that he is thriving. I know how you feel, my love, believe me. That's why I tripled my efforts to make him, you, and Mr. Hughes immortal. And..." He had a small smile "I have been finally successful"
XXXX

Torian saw Johnny display himself aggressively as he and his good pal, Kalin were eating apples. Torian hit Kalin who was about to demand what it was for when Torian pointed "Look you fool! Looks like Master Johnny is fired up as the humans say!"

"Let's hope they do not cause damage" Kalin was immediately running and Torian followed suit. Kalin then saw Loki calm him down as Arion surrendered. Kalin as he heard Loki discover a spell for immortality and he replied "That is marvelous work, my lord!" Torian nodded in agreement

[John Allerdyce/Pyro]

Evan watched quietly as things seemed to calm. And then froze in shock as Johnny accidentally unleashed his powers and hit someone. He rushed forward and was shocked to see it wasn't the person he thought it was. He put out the flames with a blast of ice but he saw Johnny was already gone. Running away from what he'd just done. He then started healing the victim.

XXXX

John shook his head.

"You're not punishing or threatening my boyfriend. I went into that fight and I got hurt. I will not have people babysitting me or taking hits for me. I'm glad you care but you're pushing this too far." said John.

He smiled seeing Loki come hoping he could calm him down.

"You can make Richard, Dad and me immortal?" asked John, grinning at the news.

Things then happened so quickly as Johnny released a blast of fire in his anger. John shoved Arion and Loki away knowing they were both frost giants as the blast struck him sending John crashing to the ground and on fire. He hit his head on a rock and passed out.

XXXX

Johnny frowned at John.

"No. You are our son. The prince. You must be protected. It's one of the reasons I accepted Loki's offer in the first place. To keep you safe!" said Johnny.

He paused as Loki came over. Hearing he could make them immortal did ease him slightly but he was still angry.

"He must pay for what he did!" said Johnny.

As he spoke he lost his temper and unleashed a fiery blast. He then watched in horror as John shoved Arion and Loki out of the way taking the full affect of the blast. He saw Evan put out the fire and heal him as Johnny's hands were starting to shake. He was now horrified realizing John had shoved Loki and Arion away. Both were frost giants his powers could have severely hurt or killed both of them.

"I almost killed my son, his boyfriend, and my fiance. I'm a monster." said Johnny.

He bolted from the room running from everyone.

[Kalin]

"I can and I will, John. Now we just---" Suddenly everything was happening so fast. Johnny's anger was unexpected in the sense that Loki didn't know he was going to attack. The king proceeded to try to reason but was shoved out of the way by his adopted son. Arion was next to him, shocked at the event. The next thing Loki knew was Johnny running off. Loki turned to help with John but at Kalin's insistence, Loki did obey and went to grab his fiancé.

"Johnny! Wait!" Loki chased after him, desperate to get his love back.
XXXX

"No he's right, John. I deserve it. I should be better" Arion replied, guilty and ashamed. Johnny's words were getting to him and he looked down, feeling unworthy. Suddenly he was shoved away and he gasped as John was hit from Johnny's attack. Arion raced, in a panic shoving Torian away "John, John! Wake up, love!" He then turned to see Kalin, Evan and Torian work on him. "Oh gods, oh no" He muttered, holding John's hand out of pure panic
XXXX

"By the gods!" Torian was quick on his feet for John who got hit by a blast from Johnny. He paid complete attention to the boy and got annoyed when Arion shoved him to check on John "Do you mind?! I am trying to see what happened!" Torian then proceeded to help Evan and Kalin.

Kalin was shocked beyond belief of what just happened. With haste, he went to help. He saw Loki and replied "No my lord, leave it to us. Johnny needs you I believe. We can take it. It wasn't too harsh of a hit. We can heal it" When Loki went, Kalin turned to Evan, smiling a bit at the fact the uncle of the prince was working on it already "Impressive, my lord. I hope it can heal John fast"

[Rowan/Evan Thompson]

Loki & Johnny:

Johnny kept running but stopped feeling his body start to cool again and he clutched his stomach.

"I hurt all of my children today. I should have stayed in the dungeons." said Johnny.

He kept running but wasn't paying attention to where he was going as he kept glancing back hoping no one was following him. But because of that he crashed into a suit of armor and fell over with the armor breaking up into pieces and burying him in it. Johnny groaned trying to get up and winces as he clutched his side wondering if he pulled a muscle. He hears footsteps and tries to get up but slips and just sends the pile of armor around him with a loud clang.

"Great. If people don't know where I am now that's surely going to bring them here." said Johnny.

He sighed knowing he was stuck at the moment and had to wait till someone helped him.

XXXX

Everyone Else:

John groans as he wakes up. He sees Arion rushing forward tackling him to the ground before realizing there was no danger. And he was on top of Arion. He then blushed getting up.

"Sorry. I thought dad was going to..."

He then blushed again hearing Evan's words. Then it came back to him that Johnny had attacked him and he was shocked.

"He did. He attacked me." whispered John.

XXXX

Evan nodded and sighed in relief as his magic did heal John quickly. When John tackled Arion out of "danger" he couldn't help but chuckle especially with the results of how close they were.

"Get a room you two!" teased Evan.

He paused realizing John remembered and he walked over to him.

"He didn't mean it. The pregnancy is affecting his emotions and his powers. He didn't want to hurt you or Arion. He's just worried about you. It's bad enough his sister, brother-in-law and his friends Alicia and Ben are missing. Seeing you hurt even a scratch probably puts him over the edge a bit." said Evan.

He paused taking a seat. He could heal others but still couldn't heal himself. He was healed enough he didn't need to stay in bed anymore but the potion or whatever they used was taking awhile to fix.

[Kalin]

(OCC: I'll make johnny and john and richard immortal soon. When do you want richard and tom to come? In like two more posts or something? Also, storm is coming soon in this or in a thread after jan 17th in the timeline?)

Loki and Johnny

"Johnny! Stop! Wait! It was a accident!" Loki kept chasing his beloved before losing him temporarily. He searched frantically. Especially worried due to Johnny being pregnant. The stress could not only hurt the children but johnny himself. It also didn't help that Johnny was physically pushing himself to his limits. It could get him sick. Suddenly he heard a severely loud crash. He ran to the source and saw a huge pile and johnny's hand before it disappeared into the armor. Loki panicked "Oh gods! Johnny!" He raced and practically threw the armor away like he was mad at the armor. He pulled johnny and picked him up before leading him to a small private room to give Johnny some air. "Johnny, love, why must you always run from me? For simple little mistakes you do?" He gently kissed johnny's face, rubbing his cheeks assuringly
XXXXX

Everyone else

"Evan is right John. It was just a accident. A accident lead by concern. Johnny had a right to be upset but this was a mistake. He would never mean to hurt you" He felt immensely guilty still. If anyone was to blame, Arion thought it would be himself. "I should've known better. I was the one who screwed up which lead to this. I should've been smarter, stronger, better. I feel awful for Johnny. I wish I could tell him I'm sorry"
XXXXX

"His majesty went to search for Johnny, Arion. I think Johnny is beside himself. He's pregnant and the stress around him can be too much to handle. Gods, it's too much to handle for me and I'm supposed to be around it all the time" Torian made a small joke but sighed "Alas, I think Johnny will not forgive himself. Still it was simply a accident. He probably didn't mean to be so forceful with his powers"
XXXX

"Prince Evan, you did quite a lot" While everyone was focused on John, Kalin was the one to notice evan do tons of work. As such he was concerned about the older prince. "Here. I will deal with the rest. You did a very impressive thing, my lord. I wish I had the skills you did" To be frank, Kalin was starting to look upon prince evan with admiration. Definitely seeing him as a idol and someone to look up to. Evan was kind and strong, Kalin was kind but strong he wasn't too confident about just yet.

"I do hope Loki and Johnny come back. I'm interested to see what Loki has to turn john, richard and johnny immortal" Kalin commented

[Rowan/Evan Thompson]

Loki and Johnny:

Johnny didn't even protest as Loki picked him up and carried him to another room as the tears started to flow. He was too ashamed to wipe them away or look at Loki. Even Loki's kissing didn't help him much.

"I could have killed you and Arion and John. Even Evan if he'd been closer enough. He's still healing from that earlier attack. How can you stand to be near me? I don't deserve you." said Johnny, feeling guilt and self loathing.

XXXX

Everyone else:

John sighed and paused realizing his hands were starting to shake.

"It's just my father... my birth father beat me a lot. When he found I was a mutant he tried to kill me. My mother was scared of him and did nothing to stop the beatings. But when he tried to kill me she died instead protecting me. And he went off to jail. If it hadn't been for the X-men I'd have had no where to go. And now it's all coming back." said John.

He looked down again trying to hold his hands but failing.

XXXX

Evan smiled at Kalin.

"Thank you Kalin. I wish I could have done more." said Evan.

He nodded to Kalin hearing him mention immortality.

"Perhaps the golden apples? I know they're famous in Norse mths back on Earth for helping people gain immortality. If they really exist." said Evan.

Evan paused glancing at Arion and felt his heart break at John's story. His story was similar to his own and he knew Arion, Loki and Johnny would be good for him.

"You're not alone. You have a new family and friends here. No one's going to hurt you here. We stopped Lord Jacob and we'll protect you." said Evan.

He then pulled John into a hug and then did the same to Arion before Evan realizing he had been a bit scared himself.

"Don't scare me like that again Arion. You're my best friend. I can't lose you." said Evan.

XXXX

Ororo walked in nervously. A collar was around her neck that blocked her nature themed powers and she'd overheard the end of the conversation. She was glad John was ok despite choosing Loki's side. She'd remained silent not having anything to say.

[Thomas Sebin(Disguise)]

Loki and Johnny

"Hush now love, don't say such things. You simply acted out of stress. It was a accident. Please don't cry, love. Hush" Loki assured softly, kissing him still. He gently wiped his tears away and helped Johnny look at him "Johnny, do not blame yourself so bitterly. John, Arion and Evan know you wouldn't dare harm them. You're one of the most kind, generous, thoughtful people in Asgard" Loki hugged him gently, looking down at his stomach and replied "This pregnancy has not been easy for you, I know" He then smiled "But after today, you will feel less stress"
XXXX

Everyone else

Tom, like Ororo, was quiet and reserved. He too had a collar, which blocked a majority of his powers. The only thing it didn't block was his eye color mood changing. He saw Ororo immediately and held hands with her, relieved to have her come with them. He saw his master, Evan, heal them up and talk with Kalin. He held his tongue though.

Richard was not far behind them and, seeing the situation, raced over as fast as he could. Richard asked, concerned "Hey what happened?" He nodded at the explaination then turned to John, who's hands began to shake, Richard grabbed them and replied "Hey hey, you're okay john, you're okay"
XXXX

"Master Johnny went off because he accidentally attacked Arion and John got in the crossfire. Johnny was a bit worried for John and got upset. But his majesty went to look for him" Torian explained to Richard. He then saw John get sad and Torian allowed the rest of them to comfort the young man. He turned to Kalin and saw the other guard look to Evan with pride. Torian rolled his eyes in amusement, Kalin was always such a kid sometimes.
XXXXXX

"I think you did plenty as it is, my lord" Kalin replied humbly, bowing his head to him. He then turned to John and softly replied to the prince "Young sir, if you do not mind, Johnny would never dare hurt you like that. He loves you and is part of your family. This was all just a big misunderstanding" He then offered his hand to john "Come now young prince, let me help you up" He then nodded brightly at Evan's suggestion at what the thing to make them immortal could be "Well I think that is what his majesty told me it was but you must ask him to be sure"
XXXX

Arion kissed John's forehead affectionately and replied "No no it hasn't, my prince. Johnny adores you and we have protected you from lord jacob and will protect you from anything else. It was all a mistake" He then also offer his hand like Kalin and replied "Yes, John, do you think you can get up?" He then turned to Evan who hugged him and Arion hugged tightly "You won't, Evan. I will make sure you never lose me"

[Rowan/Evan Thompson]

Loki and Johnny:

Johnny looked sad.

"But it is my fault. I hurt Arion and it'd even worse if I hurt you or John." said John.

When Loki kissed him and wiped away his tears he still felt guilty. But he listened to his fiance.

"And I have one of the worst tempers here. I should put that collar back on so I don't hurt anyone else." said Johnny.

He paused at Loki's words.

"How? You found a way to speed up the pregnancy?" asked Johnny, confused.

XXXX

Everyone else:

Ororo was silent but smiled seeing Tom moving closer to him. When he held her hand she squeezed it comfort. She didn't like being here but she was glad she didn't leave Tom here alone. She was secretly hoping to free as many people here as she could when they escaped or were rescued including John.

XXXX

Evan let Torian explain and he sighed.

"Arion's ok though. I think the worst pain will be Johnny's emotional pain. He nearly killed Arion and he knows he's a frost giant like Loki and me. And he could have hurt you too John. I think it's shaken him. I fear he could pull away from everyone." said Evan.

He paused holding John and Arion close before letting them go.

"You'd better not. You die on me and I'll kill you." said Evan.

Evan shrugged.

"I guess we'll have to wait and see." said Evan.

Evan snickered seeing Arion catch John.

"Should we leave you two alone?" asked Evan.

XXXX

John smiled as everyone comforted him.

"Thank you." said John.

John heard Evan and paled.

"But it was an accident. I know he wouldn't mean to do that. I don't want him to blame himself." said John.

He was now worried for Johnny and hoped Loki could reach him. He stood up only to stumble into Arion blushing when he caught him.

"Sorry." said John.

John blushed hearing Evan tease him.

[Kalin]

Loki and Johnny

"It is not your fault. It was a accident. It can easily be fixed. Stop this talk" Loki kissed Johnny's face affectionately. Desperate for Johnny to not be so distraught. He replied with love in his voice "No. I will never put you in that accursed device again. You are not a danger to anyone. You're stressed and worried about a lot of things Johnny" He held Johnny close and smiled as Johnny asked what he meant by lessening the stress "Not only that. It will make you immortal. And John and richard immortal. I finally found the legendary golden apples. They're in my room" He then pulled Johnny and replied with a smile "They can naturally cause you to keep your powers and give immunity to the children. So they'll develop healthily without repercussion" He replied with a delighted smile "We can finally make you immortal, johnny"
XXX

Others

Tom was silent, not wanting to say anything. Still he kept ororo close, not wanting to lose her. He at first wished to look around but since his master Richard and Evan were distracted. They were forced to stay and keep their mouths shut unless spoken to. He turned around to see and wonder where the hell the king was with Johnny. It was quite a scene as described by the others. Both Kalin and Torian allowed the family or extended family to speak for them, turning to wait for their king to return.
XXXX

Richard meanwhile focused on John. He then nodded to Evan as he replied Johnny felt guilty and John commented that he shouldn't. Richard replied softly "Well he may think he hurt you and he loves you so much. He probably won't forgive himself accident or no accident" Richard snickered then when Evan threatened john and arion that if they died, Evan would kill them. Richard chuckled "Isn't that threat a bit contradictory, Evan?" He then turned to see Arion and John stumble and Richard turned to Evan and held him close "Maybe they should. That way we can be too" He did this to stop evan's teasing but also to be flirtatious in his own way
XXXX

Arion blushed as Evan threatened him before focusing on John. He commented "I agree. It was all a accident. I hope the king returns with him soon" He then helped John up only to stumble and have john on top of him. Arion blushed before grinning and kissing John. Afterwards they got teased by Evan and replied just as snarky "Perhaps, evan. I don't think you're old enough to see a relationship"

[John Allerdyce/Pyro]

Loki & Johnny:

Johnny sighed.

"But I hurt Arion. I could have hurt you or John or Evan. You've all been through so much. I could have killed you." said Johnny.

He was in tears. Maybe the pregnancy was making him mioire emotional but he was terrified of hurting them and this incident had just confirmed his feras.

"I'm a danger to everyone. Block my powers. Remove them. I don't care. I don't want to hurt anyone." said Johnny.

He paused as Loki kissed him and held him close. He could feel his sadness and panic lessening as Loki comforted him.

"What did I do to deserve you?" whispered Johnny.

"He raised an eyebrow at the mention of golden apples.

"I thought those were just Norse legends. Then again I suppose so were you and Loki and Odin and the rest of Asgard. So I shouldn't be surprised." said Johnny.

He paused at the thought of being immortal.

"I'm glad to hear that. I feared one day leaving you alone. But if I become immortal before they're born they won't be half mortal. I wouldn't want them to die because I was mortal when I had them." said Johnny.

XXXX

Ororo paused leaning forward and subtely grabbing Tom's hand. She couldn't speak but she could seek his comfort while giving some of her own. In the confusion she doubted anyone notice for awhile anyway. She gave it a friendly squeeze as it was all she could do at the moment. She tried not to laugh at Evan's antics as he was soon running and John was chasing after him. She was glad John was having fun. He had a new family and she decided when she broke out of here she wasn't going to rip him from it. He deserved to be happy and she'd escape with Tom. Or they'd be rescued.

XXXX

Evan pouted.

"So you're not threatened by me. Then maybe you should sleep in your own room tonight." said Evan.

He turned walking away and smirked. He was teasing him but he couldn't resist with how Richard was teasing him. He then turned to Arion and folded his arms.

"So you're both going to pick on me? Fine then I'll just take my favorite nephew and go spend a week in the other side of the palace." said Evan.

Evan turned to John as he tried to protest.

"I can always make it two weeks." said Evan.

Evan then burst out laughing.

"Gotcha!" said Evan.

He then laughed and took off running. He grinned seeing John give chace. He hadn't planned on it but it would be a fun distraction from everything that had just happened.

XXXX

John grinned as Arion kissed him. He then paled as Evan said he'd take him away for a week.

"Uncle Evan I don't want to be without Arion for a week." said John.

He paused and glared at Arion and Richard as if "to make nice" with him. When Evan threatened to raise he shook his head.

"You wouldn't." said John.

When Evan said Gotcha and took off John laughed.

"You can't get away that easy uncle." said John.

He chased after his uncle and all the thoughts of Arion nearly dying and what was going on with Johnny and Loki were practically gone from his head. He was focused on chasing Evan.

[Kalin]

Loki and Johnny

"Stop this, love. Stop. The only danger around here is fear. You mustn't be so afraid. Relax, sweetling. I'm here" Loki shushed Johnny gently. He felt a bit helpless. He would think the golden apples would calm Johnny's fears but this accident caused Johnny to be so upset with himself. He knew the others were more upset with Johnny being gone for so long. Loki felt kind of responsible for Johnny's suffering. He hoped to try to pour his love out by kissing him and affectionately holding him gently. Loki kissed his tears and shushed him some more and replied softly "I am not going to ever put you through that horrible experience again, love. You are not a danger to anyone. Calm down, please. I hate seeing you so unhappy, johnny. Please my love, please calm down" He kissed Johnny's lips tenderly, desperate for Johnny to calm down. He then held him close, smiling softly as Johnny asked what he did to deserve him "Just by loving me for me"

He then turned to Johnny and made the conversation about the golden apples "They do indeed exist and I got a few of them. One for you. One for John. And one for Richard, because Evan asked to get me one for him" He then nodded about their children "Our babies will be safe johnny, they will be immortal too now. As well as immune and healthy and you will be immune and healthy. Now I have them in my room and I wish to give it to you, john and richard. It is time we finally make you immortal"

Others

Kalin and Torian enjoyed the family but patiently waited for their king. Tom meanwhile focused on Ororo, he knew she couldn't speak due to feeling a bit trapped so he squeezed her hand back and kissed her cheek. He then whispered to her softly "I will make sure you're safe here, I promise" He made sure it was soft and only for her to here, it was between them. He knew he loved her at this moment. He didn't care if it was fast. He was going to make sure she was safe. Fuck him, ororo mattered and he was going to make sure she got out of here.
XXXXX

Richard started to pale up as Evan teased of sleeping in a different room. He paled up a little more as Evan even suggested leaving to take John out for two weeks, leaving him here. He pulled Evan close to him and replied "No no, I'll be good, don't go to another room, Richard was bad. You're very intimidating. You're totally badass, babe. Totally. Swear to god" He gave Evan a smooch on a cheek to make nice. He saw John glare seeing he wasn't exactly happy with evan's teasing either. He kissed Evan again and replied "Two weeks? Come on that's harsh to my ego" He laughed before letting him go with a smile to allow him to play with his nephew. He then turned to Arion with a sigh "You ever look at someone and think 'damn I'm lucky to be with that person'?" Richard then smiled at Arion's answer
XXXXX

Arion chuckled a little at Evan's threats, knowing fully well evan didn't mean it. But seeing John get irritated, Arion was placated into playing nice "Apologies your majesty. I did not mean to offend" He then watched the two play around and he turned to Richard who asked him a question he knew the answer to. Arion nodded firmly and replied softly "I do. Every day, Mr. Richard" He saw John laugh and he started to laugh too, seeing himself wanting to spend the rest of his life with this young man.

[John Allerdyce/Pyro]

Loki and Johnny:

Johnny leaned into Loki and sighed. He was grateful he had Loki. This pregnancy was making his emotions and hormones go haywire and through out everything Loki was always there for him. So patient and loving.He returned Loiki's kisses and wrapped his arms around Loki.

"Is it bad that I feel grateful you took over the world? If you hadn't I'd not have you or my children including John." said Johnny.

He raised an eyebrow at his words.

"So the golden apples will help me powerwise? If any of our children have fire powers, I wish for you to bind them. They shouldn't have to live in fear of accidentally hurting themselves as they will be half Frost Giant. Or perhaps change it another power that won't hurt them. Like water perhaps." said Johnny.

He paused.

"So the apple will affect our children too? That's convenient." said Johnny.

He smiled.

"I guess we should go go them and get this done." said Johnny.

Others:

XXXX

Ororo was silent watching amusing at Evan's antics. She hated being a slave but she could still laugh at the situation. She smiled at Tom though glad she wasn't alone here.

"I already feel safe with you here." whispered Ororo.

XXXX

Evan grinned at Richard's words.

"Really? You don't sound very convincing." said Evan, with a grin.

He returned the kiss enjoying them as always. Then kept dodging John who was annoyed at him.

"Guess I'm too fast for you John." said Evan, with a grin.

He laughed as he kept running over a rug. Only for the rug to be literally pulled out from under him as he fell into the familiar fountain once more. His clothes clung to him as his shirt was now soaked showing off his chest and abs more. He coughed and sputtered as he stood up completely soaked.

"That's it. I'm never coming to this garden again." said Evan.

He shivered as he felt the cool breeze on his skin and wet clothes.

"I knew I should have stayed in bed today." said Evan.

He nodded to John.

"Yes I'm alright. Well aside from being soaked." said Evan.

XXXX

John kept chasing Evan and paused giving a grin as he smiled at Richard and Arion. He grinned as he ran forward pulling on the rag as he watched him fall and then laughed seeing Evan fall into a fountain.

"Well looks like you're all washed up now." said John.

He ran forward to help Evan up though.

"Are you alright?" asked John.

[Kalin]

Johnny and Loki

Loki smiled softly at johnny's statement of being grateful "It is not bad to say at all. I am just grateful for ever meeting you. You changed me as well johnny" It was true. Johnny gave him something worth fighting for. Something worth being kind for. Johnny gave him faith in humanity and in life. He then replied "The golden apples will do all of that for the children. It will affect them in a positive way. Their bodies will be able to contain the powers they could have, fire or otherwise and still be immune to its harm on the body. The children and you will be much healthier and immortal now" He then assisted johnny up to go to the others "Yes let us go find john and richard" He then replied "I have a spare for your sister and brother in law as well once we find them we will give it to them" With that added note, he walked with johnny to the others.

Tom smiled at ororo, holding her hand affectionately "Good. I'll make sure you always feel safe" After stating that he watched the rather cute display of the other team members. Kalin and torian were also watching but then evan fell into the pool. Kalin didn't understand why he felt evan was someone he needed to protect most, perhaps it was just his admiration getting in the way. Torian though was more amused and laughed as he followed kalin.

Kalin immediately rushed while torian was a little less anxious, knowing the prince had a strong system. Kalin though was a little more protective "Prince evan. Do not worry if you would like I can get someone to fetch you new clothing" Kalin then saw arion get pushed in the fountain and held his laughter for evan's sake.

Torian meanwhile turned to prince john and replied "You have your father's mischief after all" Before chuckling in amusement. He then laughed as arion got pushed
XXXX

Arion meanwhile saw John's trick and proceeded to be silent only to laugh as evan fell in "Hope you are alright my friend! It is a bit chilly" He rushed forward and helped evan up. He then made a pun "Looks like this situation got all wet as the earth people say" He then felt richard push him in and sputtered as he too got all wet. He himself had his clothes cling onto his abs, showing them much more. Arion though was annoyed with richard "What on earth was that for?" He then blushed as richard responded to him
XXXX

Richard shook his head "I'm serious I'm sorry you're very intimidating" He then allowed john and evan to play around. He then saw evan get into the fountain during a fall and he rushed to go over. As kalin and john and arion helped, richard couldn't help but stare at evan's body. It was just so beautiful. However he was distracted by arion's terrible pun. Richard gave a stink eye before shoving arion into the fountain. When arion asked why he replied "For that shitty pun. That was terrible, man" He then turned to evan and replied "Just like how we met huh babe?" He winked at evan afterwards

Johnny and Loki:

Johnny grinned.

"We both changed for the better. I don't think I'd want to go to my life before I met you. Plus if without you I wouldn't have my son John or my children on the way. Sure I could do without the pregnancy pains or hormones but I'd suffer through them all to actually have children." said Johnny

He nodded as Loki helped him up.

"I guess we go rejoin the crowd. And I have apologies to make. I overreacted and nearly hurt Arion." said Johnny.

He paused looking up to Loki.

"I nearly killed his boyfriend. John's going to hate me." whispered Johnny.

A mix of his own emotions and the hormones.

"How can I fix this? I can't lose John." said Johnny, wiping away fresh tears.

XXXX

The Others:

Ororo grinned.

"I'm just glad we're not doing this alone. We at least have each other." said Ororo.

XXXX

Evan shivered and blushed at the attention of the others trying to help him.

"Thank you. New clothes would be nice." said Ev an.

When Richard pushed Arion in Evan just doubled over laughing clutching his sides trying to keep warm but was amused.

When John created a fire to keep him warm he smiled at him.'

"Thank you John." said Evan.

He laughed at John's words.

"Maybe you should wait until you're alone to make offers like that." said Evan.

He grinned pulling Richard closer into a hug and a kiss, getting him a bit wet in the process but he didn't care.

"Yes. But I'm glad you were here for both. But next time I'm going swimming in an lake or river." said Evan.

XXXX

John chuckled.

"Ah but which father do you mean?" asked John, with a grin.

He then was shocked as Evan froze the fountain.

"Whoa. That's incredible." said John.

He paused forming a fireball as he made his way to him and threw it at the ground having a fire of sorts Evan could warm himself at.
over keeping it far enough away from Evan to try to help warm up his clothes.

"Your welcome Uncle Evan." said John.

He froze seeing Arion's clothes so tight and revealing now dripping on him.

"Maybe we should go get you some clothes as well. Maybe a shower." said John.

John blushed realizing how that sounded after Evan spoke.

[Loki]

(OCC: Next post you can reintroduce everyone and we can go to a special room for the mortal people to turn immortal)

Johnny and Loki

Loki couldn't help but be a bit speechless at johnny's sincerity. He was just a great partner and great husband to be. As well as a great mother to be. Johnny was absolutely the one for loki and he just didn't understand how he ever deserved this chance. How he ever deserved johnny's affection. But he shoved these feelings down to help johnny. As he was the one who was right now really suffering. Physically and emotionally right now. Loki helped him and was about to take him back when Johnny panicked a little again, saying john was going to hate him. Loki pulled johnny close and replied "Do not say that. If I know john he will adore you regardless. He knows you did not mean it. I think they'll understand it was simply a accident. Let us just talk to them" Loki patiently started to lead johnny to the others.

"We do have each other that's what's important" Tom replied gently to ororo. If there was anything he was thankful for it was ororo. He would not and could not do this without her. It felt like hopelessness if he was here alone. He was just glad for her. He held her hand still, nervously waiting for evan or loki to let them go so they could go off to evan's room without incident.
XXXX

Kalin nodded as evan agreed to getting new clothes, then heard john comment about getting arion clothings. A little ignorant to john's attractions he declared "Fear not your majesties. I shall get them as quickly as possible!" Kalin without a word rushed to the nearest room for new clothes. Unaware that loki and johnny were to return soon.
____

Torian meanwhile was there and rolled his eyes at kalin's over obsession. He turned to john with a knowing smile and replied "I was referring to the king. But mischief can definitely apply to King Johnny as well" He then stepped a bit away as john and arion spoke to each other. Torian still smirked, very well knowing. As if he could tell john was aroused.
XXXXX

Richard snickered a little bit as Evan caught arion and john flirting. But then his amusement changed as evan kissed him, richard happily kissed him back. He then blushed as evan mentioned taking a swim. He felt a bit flirtatious himself, because like john he found his wet partner very attractive thanks to the clothes clinging onto him. He, however, was sutble so he pulled evan a bit closer and whispered in his ear "Preferably with me right?" He wanted to make evan blush or at least flirt back.
XXXX

Arion was a bit naive to john's suggestion, as it wasn't exactly a suggestion but he blushed thanks to evan making it a bit more dirty. Still, he couldn't help but pull john in for his own kiss. He kissed john tenderly while blushing a bit. He replied to john calmly, and quietly "Kalin went to fetch clothes for us. He was quick to do that. But your fire helps us as well" He then made a small comment about the kings "I do hope your fathers return. I am concerned"

[John Allerdyce/Pyro]

Johnny and Loki:

Johnny looked at him and sighed.

"I want to believe that but what if I just remind him of his birth father. The bastard that tried to kill him and killed his mother by mistake." said Johnny.

He sighed and let Loki lead him there hoping he could make amends.

XXXX

The Others:

Ororo grinned.

"I'm grateful I have you. I wish I could take John and leave here. But I haven't seen him this happy at the mansion. He has the family he always wanted. I can't take that from him. I know Loki won't hurt him. If we get out of here we should try to take any of the other slaves if we can." whispered Ororo.

XXXX

Evan paused as Kalin run out getting new clothes as he shook his head.

"Or he could have got Loki. I'm sure the king could have had everyone dry with a snap." said Evan.

He sighed as he kept warming himself. He was surprised as Richard pulled him closer.

"Maybe something private? Maybe even skinny dipping?" whispered Evan, teasing him a little.

As he spoke he took off his shirt squeezing it to let out some of the water but also revealing his wet yet muscular chest.

"See something you like?" teased Evan.

He tied the wet shirt around his waist as he felt warmer without it.

XXXX

John smirked.

"Still doesn't narrow it down. They're both kings." teased John.

He returned Arion's kiss eagerly.

"Uncle Evan may be right. Loki might be able to warm you guys up much faster." said John.

He looked up in surprise seeing Johnny and Loki return. And was surprised as Johnny rushed forward falling to his knees and hugging them both.

"Hey it's ok Dad." said John.

He froze at Johnny's words as he wrapped Johnny and Arion into a group hug.

"You are nothing like that monster. You and Loki are the best dads I could ask for. The only ones I'd ever want. I could never hate you ." said John.

XXXX

Johnny arrived as he rushed over to John and Arion. He fell to his knees not sure what to say before wrapping his arms around the waists hugging them both.

"I'm sorry. I lost my temper. You saved my son and brought h im back. Not just from that fight but from the traitor. I owe you a debt I can never repay." Said Johnny.

When John pulled him up and into a group hug he hugged them both. Hearing John's words he perhaps hugged them both too tight.

[Kalin]

Loki shook his head at johnny's fearful words "You are nothing like that man. He was a monster to john. John doesn't think that" Loki then took Johnny to make amends with arion and John. Loki nodded in satisfaction as his thoughts of john were proven correct. Loki allowed john and arion to hug johnny, giving them all some space, smiling at the scene of his family coming together. He turned to evan with a raised eyebrow as he was shirtless "Well it seems some activities were going on while I went off. Is this what happens every time my back is turned brother?" He chuckled a bit, clearly amused. He turned to richard and rolled his eyes at the flirting "Well since we are all here again I suppose I can repeat my previous conversation with you all"

He then turned to john, johnny and then richard replying "I have the golden apples with me. And they are in my room. Now I can either bring them here myself so you can eat them with people present. Or we can go to my room and make it more or less a private, comfortable affair. It is up to the three of you" Loki went over to hold johnny's hand and squeezed it, smiling at him before turning to john and richard
XXXXXX

Torian smirked back at the prince, feeling a kinship with the prince. He then clasped his hands together at the sight of Loki and smiled at the scene. Torian's family was either all old or did not want to speak to him. So it was nice to see some unity nearby. He listened to the conversation. Tom meanwhile smiled as ororo felt safe with him and he assured "Yeah tom's best with loki. He's happy here. We gotta let him stay. But we could definitely try to get some slaves if we can get out of here ourselves"

Kalin however meanwhile loudly ran back, getting a couple clothes for arion and evan. "Your majesty! A nice sweater for you! Here!" Kalin got in between richard and evan, like an idiot, and gave evan the shirt. Kalin then replied to king loki "Sir! I was just wondering where you were!" He then went nearby to listen on the conversation himself.
XXXXXX

Arion kissed john before chuckling "Let kalin get the clothes he means well" Arion then turned around as Johnny arrived. And very quickly fell on his knees before him and john, grabbing them into a hug. Arion pulled onto johnny tightly, assuring him with a backrub "There is no debt with me, sir. You are a excellent father to john and you will be a amazing father to me. You mean the world to john and myself. There is nothing to be sorry for. I hold no ill will towards you" He then turned to see loki talk about the golden apples. Arion then replied "It is purely up to john and johnny and richard. If they wish me to participate that is perfectly wonderful"
XXXXX

Richard smiled, blushing a bit as evan played along with his flirting. He then gave him a kiss then replied "Oh I do. About pretty much everything about you" He was about to go in for another kiss when kalin and loki both interrupted it in one way or another. Richard then listened to loki talk about the apples and then nervously responded "I would like evan here. I want him to be here in case something the apple does makes me feel weird" He then waited for john and johnny's responses

[John Allerdyce/Pyro]

Evan raised an eyebrow as Kalin returned with a sweater and got between them.

"Thank you, Kalin, but I don't think I need it. I got something else to warm me up." said Evan, grinning at Richard.

Evan watched in surprise at the power boosts on John while Johnny said he could use his children's powers while they were in his womb.

"I suppose that makes sense. Guess we know you'll have more fire power or ice power in this case." said Evan.

He smirked turning to Loki.

"Looks like you're going to have your hands full with the next generation. Better ice proof their bedrooms while you have the chance." said Evan.

He turned to Richard.

"I'll be here if you need me. If your powers increase or you pass out I'll always be there to catch you. Just like you've been there for me." said Evan.

XXXX

Ororo was quiet as she was near Tom. She had come to accept John had taken them as his family. She couldn't rip John from them.

"If we escape I'm not going to take John. He's happy here. I don't like it but he would be miserable if we took him with us. And we aren't equipped to fight everyone in the army that would come after us if we took him." whispered Ororo.

Ororo watched the powers display and winced.

'They will definitely be harder to beat now." whispered Ororo.

XXXX

John smiled as Johnny hugged them all.

"Glad that's settled. Just maybe work on your anger issues next time out on a punching bag instead of my fiance ok? "said John.

He turned to Arion.

"I'm going to bite it. But if I pass out or something you catch me ok?" said John.

John took one of the apples and bit it while holding Arion's hand. But as he spoke a wave of light flashed around. John gasped as he stood back as a fireball was in his hand.

"Hot, hot." said John.

He threw it dousing the fountain water instantly as it sizzled.

"No way. I can summon fire without a lighter. It must have increased my powers somehow." said John, grinning.

He waved his hands manipulating the flames to form a circle in the fountain. He was shocked as Johnny froze them with an icy breath.

"Whoa. That's incredible!" said John.

XXXX

Johnny smiled sheepishly.

"Deal." said Johnny.

When Loki spoke again he grinned.

"Yes. We can be immortal. Our family won't be split apart by death or anything like that." said Johnny.

He took the apple and bit into it. As he did he felt a wave of heat and cold cover his body. He coughed as ice flew from his mouth freezing the flames on the fountain.

"And now I have ice breath??" asked Johnny.

He paused in realization.

"No. It must be the kids. The apple stabilized my body and now I can use their powers as well as my own to protect myself and them." said Johnny, now excited.

[Kalin]

(OCC: I was thinking Richard's powers would increase slightly. Being not only immortal now but he would have better mind control and now telekinesis)

Tom nodded as ororo replied she was not planning on taking john away from his new family. Tom finally understood where the boy was coming from and supported him staying here too. He was going to make sure john stayed here while he and ororo would escape back to the rebellion. He whispered back "I agree. It's best he stays here. It's better that way. We'll just focus on you and me trying to get out of here. Let john stay here with his new family" He then paled evidentally at the sight of Richard, john and johnny getting stronger. Yep. This was definitely a new challenge. He replied whispering gently "I don't know if we can find a way to communicate this new power situation but we gotta find a way to let tony and Coulson know"

Richard rolled his eyes a little at kalin's display. But then he smiled towards evan as he assured him. Richard nodded "I'm sure it'll be fine but I wanna be safe" He then bit into his apple, holding onto evan's hand nervously as he did so. He then felt a sudden power flow through him. He felt as if the weaker parts of him had disappeared. He felt like as if his soul got a makeover. And it felt kind of awesome. He took a deep breath then replied "Hey. I think I'm immortal. It worked!" He then turned to notice john and johnny increase in power and he got excited. He curiously replied "I wonder if I got something!" He then moved his hand a little and suddenly a couple rocks were floating and as he moved them, they moved immediately to a wall.

Richard beamed "I can move things with my mind! This is fucking awesome!" He then turned to evan and replied "Evan did you see that? That was kind of cool wasn't it?" He felt a bit like a kid again.
XXXXX

Loki blushed a bit at evan's comment of freeze-proving but this apple had finally given johnny both strength and stabilization that he needed. For that loki could breathe a sigh of relief. He then nodded at johnny as he realized the children were now inheriting powers that would be theirs. But until then, johnny was given them to protect himself and the kids. He replied "It seems the children have inherited both heat and ice as powers. But you might not keep the ice powers, we will have to see once our children are born. But this apple has stabilized you and increased your strength. You are now immortal that is for sure" He beamed at that. Finally. His family was overall safe from true mortal danger. If he couldn't be there, they would definitely not die now.

He came over to johnny and held him close "Nothing can tear us apart now. I am grateful for that"
XXXXX

Arion beamed a bit as john asked him to stay, feeling accomplished. He then held john's hand, staying firmly by john's side. He then got nervous as a flash of light came onto john's hand. "John? John! Are you alright?" He then breathed a sigh of relief as john seemed to have his powers increase, not needing his lighter to summon fire any longer. "The apple. It must've increased your powers along with making you immortal" Arion beamed at that. He replied excitedly "Truly remarkable"
XXXX

Both Torian and Kalin were amazed. Kalin though expressed it much more "By the gods! It appears the princes and master Richard have improved and have finally become immortal. Now I think they are stronger than ever!" Torian smiled approvingly. While kalin focused on evan and Richard, torian noticed tom and ororo whispering and couldn't help but be a tad curious of what they were talking about. Kalin though paid no mind and replied "Prince evan, Richard I believe has telekinesis. A rare gift"
