Luckily, Steve felt little of each blow. He let Bucky hit him and would continue to until he wore himself out. He’d hold him after if he was allowed or just crouch beside him while he slept, if that even became an option. Luckily, no one is going need that. Not while there’s a doctor with sedatives in hand. Steve is a good catch and despite being new in this body, he’s already taking to it with grace. A little bit of drug can do wonders for a broken man and Bucky will be asleep in no time, dreamless and unshackled by his torments. For now.

Thor seems impressed. He tilts his head as he gazes upon Steve’s near nakedness. “A warrior, your new kin. Perhaps a mistake but certainly a good one. Loki may well be pleased.”

He holds his hand out and the hammer returns to his grip (which is followed by Tony’s whooshing breath of delight). He hoists Mjolnir towards the sky and the beam of light returns. Only Fenris, Thor and Steve will arrive in Heimdal’s chambers on solid ground. Bucky, probe, has no choice, but the two scientists are certainly going to end up on their faces. Again.

Tony is much less pleased than before and the Bifrost has done more than left him shaken. It’s left him vomiting behind some golden object or another and groaning.

Thor pays them little mind. He greets Heimdal both with warmth and delight. Loki should arrive soon. His heart is already on fire.
