While Padfoot was busy distracting and/or maiming the Asgardian guards, the rest of the group had arrived at the next meeting point where they found Volstagg standing outside a crashed ship that the dark elves had used when they attacked Asgard.
"Oh, I'm glad you are all okay," Volstagg smiled at them. "Come on, you will need to hurry."
"Thank you my friend." Thor nodded at him as he shook Volstagg's hand, Sif nodded as she walked past him. Jane gave him a smile and Volstagg gave her a big one, though when Loki tried to walk past Volstagg stopped him by placing the head of his axe against Loki's chest.
"If you even think about trying to betray him…" Volstagg began, only to be interrupted.
"Let me guess, you will kill me?" Loki drawled in an amused voice. "Evidently there will be a line. He's first." Loki added as he gestured behind him to Harry, who actually nodded in agreement.
"Yep," Harry says as he pushed Loki forward towards the ship. "good luck," Harry said to Volstagg. "remember, use your padding." Harry patted him on the stomach before walking onto the ship before Volstagg could respond. The doors closed a second later.
"Woof." Padfoot barked as he appeared next to Harry, no longer in his battle mode.
"What took you so long?" Harry asked before turning to Thor. "Thor, you're not going end up breaking something, are you?"
"I won't break anything." Thor rolled his eyes before pressing a button at random, when nothing happened he pressed another.
"I thought you said you knew how to fly this thing." Loki said to Thor, his voice had a hint of worry in it.
"I said 'how hard could it be?'" Thor reminded him just before they could hear the sound of fighting outside.
"Well whatever you are doing, I'd recommend doing it faster." Loki said.
"He's right," Harry agreed. "Volstagg's padding isn't going to last forever."
"Both of you shut up." Thor said in an irritated voice, his mood was not helped by the fact that the ship was still not moving.
"You must have missed something." Loki guessed.
"Like an instruction manual." Harry added.
"I haven't missed anything, I'm pressing every button on this thing." Thor replied.
"Well that sounds very sophisticated." Harry rolled his eyes.
"Don't hit it, just press it gently." Loki instructed as if he was instructing Thor on how to use a game console controller.
"I am pressing it gently! It's not working!" Thor growled as he slammed the controls which, surprisingly, caused it to start working. "Ha ha!" Thor said triumphantly, grinning as he started the ship. It powered up and rose into the air.
"You know when you have a voice in your head that tells you that something is a very, very bad idea?" Harry spoke to Sif.
"Yes." She nodded.
"I can hear that voice." Harry said just before Thor flew the ship out of the building, smashing into several columns as he did so.
"I think you may have possibly missed a column." Loki couldn't help himself.
"What happened to not breaking anything?" Harry asked.
"Yes, yes thank you for you help, now shut up." Thor said sarcastically as he flew the ship out of the building. Thor flew it at the fastest speed he could, this was good but had the unintended effect of damaging many buildings at the same time.
"Look, why don't you let me take over, I'm clearly the better pilot." Loki said after Thor smashed through another building.
"Really? Out of the two of us who can actually fly?" Thor countered.
"Are they always like this?" Harry asked Sif.
"No," She shook her head. "they're usually worse." Any further response was cut off by Jane falling to the ground.
"Jane?" Thor asked as Sif and Harry made their way to Jane.
"Oh, is she dead?" Loki asked curiously just as Harry and Sif kneeled down next to her.
"She's fine." Harry said as he looked her over. "For now at least, we might want to hurry up Thor."
"Not a word." Thor said to Loki after accidently destroying some more buildings.
"Now they're following us." Loki said when Asgardian ships began chasing them. "Now they're firing at us!" He added after the ship had been hit by several blasts from the chasing ships, though it was thankfully still flying.
"Yes, thank you for the commentary Loki!" Thor said through gritted teeth. "It's not at all distracting!" Thor said just as the ship sliced through a large statue.
"Well done, you just decapitated your grandfather." Loki commented.
"Oh shit, really?" Harry asked, trying and failing to hide his amusement.
"The Allfather is not going to like that." Sif said in a pained voice.
"Could be worse." Harry shrugged.
"You know this is wonderful," Loki said sarcastically as he glared at Thor. "this a tremendous idea. Let's steal the biggest and most obvious ship in the universe and escape in that, flying round the city and smashing into everything in sight so that everyone can see us!" He ranted, not noticing the side door opening up behind him. "It's brilliant Thor! Truly brilliant!" Loki's impressive rant was cut off by Thor pushing him out of the ship.
"You didn't tell him about this part of the plan?" Harry laughed.
"Of course I didn't." Thor admitted with a grin as he put the ship on auto pilot, he went over to pick up Jane before jumping out of the side of the door and landing on a small chariot that Fandral was piloting.
"Hold tight." Harry said as he wrapped an arm around Sif's waist before flying himself and Sif out of the ship, during the flight Sif had instinctively wrapped her arms around Harry's neck, when they landed on the chariot she had realized what she had done after Harry let her go, she quickly let go of him and turned away so he couldn't see the blush on her face.
