Thor and Loki - filling in

As days went, this one was... sub-optimal. Not that Loki exactly minded not having to play-act Odin anymore, of course, but he had rather enjoyed being king. Even the ridiculous administrative details that should have been mind-meltingly boring somehow hadn't been. He'd miss that... assuming he could work out an exit that allowed him enough freedom to miss bureaucratic nonsense.
He'd bought some time to think before getting dragged to Earth, that was a good start. Getting finicky nearly always worked, and he'd flatly refused to go anywhere until the dragon-head and some of the brains and blood had been removed from the Bifrost room. Thor being Thor, though, had countered by insisting on 'supervising' the cleaning. Together.
He'd managed to take hold of Loki's arm as soon as 'make a break for it' had occurred to him.
It was extremely annoying.
Watching Skurge mop and drag as penance for failing his one job almost made up for it. Almost. "You know he's going to be as terrible at cleaning as he was at guarding, don't you?"

"I do. I also remember that many of my early turns only opened the bridge because you... were impatient." 'Were impatient' replaced the word 'helped'. At the time, it had been help, and appreciated.

And once they're in position -- and Skurge is in position -- Thor issues the order:
"Janitor, send us to Midgard."

But not anymore, and never again. Eventually even the sting would be gone. It should have been gone long before this, but over a thousand years of kinship apparently took time to snuff out. "New York City specifically. If you drop us anywhere else, rest assured I will find a way to make you suffer. Janitor."
