Rise of the Phoenix (L. Laufey/Odinson)

Loki. Captured and taken to the Jotun Palace he must lie, he must claim that has an interest in his rightful place on the Jotunheim throne. (If he doesn't they would kill him) There are traditions and rules to be adhered. Buying himself time to come up with a better escape plan he comes to terms with being alone, knowing that Thor wouldn't risk a diplomatic incident without thought and plans. Loki needs to get out of Jotunheim before he is killed.

Thor returns to Earth and enlists the Avengers to help save his brother, the only Avenger that has a chance at surviving the harsh climate of the jagged cold is their newest and most unstable. Still recovering from her treatment at the hands of Hydra, Nina is nowhere near mission ready and Bucky is reluctant to let his sister go.
