Author's Note: It is IMPERATIVE that you listen to the song first. The song is Alessia Cara's I'm Yours. The lyrics line up so well its like the Avengers wrote it themselves.
Tony looked around as everyone settled into the couches and chairs in the movie room. It was Tuesday which meant team movie night. Tonight would be a typical Tuesday, except for one thing: They had a seventh member of the group, tucked into Thor's side.
Thor had brought Loki back to Earth, announcing that Odin had decreed that Loki be banished to Midgard for his crimes. And actually, Loki wasn't that bad. At first he was like a feral cat backed into a corner, clawing at everyone with biting insults that had caused more than one fight to break out in the Tower, both verbal and physical. But as weeks stretched to months, he seemed to mellow out and soon his words were funny instead of insulting, and his pranks downgraded into what probably counted as the magical equivalent of drawing a dick on a sleeping guys forehead or prank calling at 3am: harmless and funny, if a bit embarrassing or inconvenient for the victim.
This was the first time he joined them for a movie, and unfortunately for Loki, Steve insisted on watching Annie, so despite Tony's protests, Loki's first movie ever would be a sappy musical about little black orphan girls. However, Loki didn't seem at all interested in the plot, instead fixating on the musical numbers, especially the ones with multiple people.
"So in these musical things, Everyone just happens to conveniently know the words and complex choreography to songs they are making up on the spot?"
"Yeah. I mean, in real life it would never happen. Everyone knows that. Its just funny to watch everyone dance." Clint informed him.
No one saw the look of mischief cross Loki's face, but if they had, they might have been better prepared
The next morning, Tony walked in to the kitchen for coffee. To his surprise, Steve had a cup already made ,and all the normal avengers were there, eating various foods. Tony looked over the group of misfits that had come to call each other family, then up at Steve's eager, yet bashful grin as he handed Tony his favorite mug filled with his favorite coffee. Tony felt affection well up inside him and suddenly a beat started around them with a voice calling a beat. "One. Two. One Two."
Everyone looked up in alarm and suddenly Tony was singing
"Some nerve you have
To break up my lonely
And tell me you want me
How dare you march into my heart
Oh how rude of you."
"Tony? What are you doing?" Steve asked warily. Tony tried to tell him he had no fucking clue, but he wasn't in control of his body. Despite his best effort to stop, he continued singing
"To ruin my miserable
And tell me I'm beautiful
'Cause I wasn't looking for love no."
Clint dropped his fork suddenly and began singing as well.
"Nobody asked to get me attached to you
In fact you tricked me
And I wasn't trying to fall in love but boy you pushed me"
"Ok, this is weird man, everyone stop singing right now." Steve ordered. Clint looked at everyone wide-eyed as he continued as if Steve never spoke
"So all that I'm asking
Is that you handle me with caution
'Cause I don't give myself often
But I guess I'll try today"
Suddenly Everyone began singing in unison, moving in choreographed movements that were certainly not natural.
'Cause I've had my heart
Broken before
And I promised I would never let me hurt anymore
But I tore down my walls
And opened my doors
And made room for one
So baby I'm yours
Oh baby I'm yours
Oh baby I'm yours
Oh baby I'm yours
Oh baby I'm yours
Suddenly Bruce stood up, boldly singing
I'm mad at you
For being so cute
And changing my mood
And altering my rude
What's wrong with you
You make me sick for being so perfect
What did I do
What can I do, oh
Steve was obviously fighting it, but even he joined in
And I wasn't trying
To melt this heart of iron
But the way you hold me makes the old me pass away
And I would be lying
If I said I wasn't scared to fall again
But if you promise me you'll catch me
Then it's okay
Yet another chorus dropped and everyone was singing again
'Cause I've had my heart
Broken before
And I promised I would never let me hurt anymore
But I tore down my walls
And opened my doors
And made room for one
So baby I'm yours
Oh baby I'm yours
Oh baby I'm yours
Oh baby I'm yours
Oh baby I'm yours
It seemed even Natasha wasn't exempt from this, as she got her own solo.
Oh I hate that I
Spend my days just wasting time
Day dreaming til I see you again
I'm not used to this
Oh I used to be so used to boys just using me
For you to be you to me
Feels new to me
Thor continued her lines
'Cause I usually cheer for the bad side
Love under a bad sign
So it makes me mad I'm
Falling again
They all joined in one at a time as the line dragged on
Falling again
The music paused briefly then the chorus started again, with all of them joining in harmony before the song ended.
'Cause I've had my heart
Broken before
And I promised I would never let me hurt anymore
But I tore down my walls
And opened my doors
And made room for one
So baby I'm yours
Oh baby I'm yours
Suddenly free from whatever was forcing them to sing, they all turned to the sound of someone clapping.
Loki stood there grinning ear to ear as he clapped slowly "Bravo! Bravo! Now THAT, that was a musical. I see now why they are so entertaining!" Everyone stood up menacingly as they realized he had used a spell to make them sing. His eyes widened as he realized that he was in big trouble and instantly he vanished.
