In Which a Puppy was Involved

A/N: This is more like an Epilogue side-story to Two Pieces of a Broken Heart…yeah I know I haven't been updating :'( This story is based on a video I found on Facebook. There were three mean women who were stepping, jumping, kicking and dragging a small, poor puppy! *SOBS* Thus, this fanfiction was born!

Blaze Romanoff, Natasha Romanoff and Loki's daughter was a sweet little thing. The other Avengers thought that Natasha cheated on Loki and got on with it with Steve Rogers instead because at five years old she was a little sweetheart.

Loki, the new reformed bad-boy in the team took a walk in the park with Blaze.

They passed by bushes when they hear a pitiful sound.

Three grown women were stepping, jumping and crushing a poor defenseless puppy that was making crying sounds, and they were laughing. Loki's chest tightened at the scene, but his daughter cried out and ran in before Loki could stop her.

"DON'T HURT IT!" Blaze yelled, and green fire danced on her fingertips. Instantly, the three women ran away, screaming something along the lines of "mutants and crazy god's daughter."

Blaze picked up the bleeding thing and healed it, hiccupping and crying.

Loki knelt beside her, casting a spell that would show this to Natasha.

"Please wake up, please wake up, please wake up…" Blaze whispered to the puppy.

In that moment, Loki saw Thor, kneeling over a baby Bilgesnipe when they were younger. Thor had accidentally hit it with Mjolnir.

"Brother! Brother I…I hit an infant Bilgesnipe, please heal it!" Thor came running to him, tears streaming down his face. Of course, Loki was concerned so he followed the young Thunder God out into the forest and lo and behold, he found a bleeding little Bilgesnipe. Loki knelt down and placed his hands on the animal, its muscles, ligaments, bones and skin slowly knitting back together.

"Thank you, brother," Thor said with tear-streaked cheeks. Loki nodded, smiling faintly as the Bilgesnipe woke up, nuzzling Thor's gentle hand.

Loki never saw Thor this tender.

He remembers this when Thor acts like a brash fool who absolutely loved the sight of blood and war, to remind himself that under all that, there is love and tenderness.

"Daddy, it's waking up!" Blaze exclaimed, picking up the poor puppy and cuddling it to her chest.

"Can we keep it?"

"Brother, do you think Father will let us put him in the stables?"

Loki smiled because he heard Natasha coo in his comm.

Loki saw the tenderness of Thor inside his daughter, who could fire energy blasts from her fingertips and heal wounds. His daughter, who was so powerful, yet used her power for good. Loki's eyes softened.

"Of course, Blaze. You are the pup's hero."
