"What is this trickery, Tony Stark?" Thor motioned unhappily to his brother.

Loki sulked on the other side of the kitchen area; he was obviously all too aware that his hair had been sheared away and dyed auburn blonde.

"Oh, come on, Thor. You gotta admit- Reindeer Games actually looks pretty good with blonde hair."

Loki touched his hair with a shudder, and pouted. "You did it in my sleep. That surpasses trickery. That's vandalism. Of the highest order." Loki paused. "Miss JARVIS?"

A British-accented female voice answered unhappily, "Yes, sir?"

"Am I allowed to turn Anthony Stark into a toad?"

"Unfortunately, no sir. Although I would like for you to be able to do so, since he went so far as to do... this to me."

"Hey, Loki" Tony said with a smile, "It was all in good fun. Your hair will grow back the roots will be your natural color. In the meantime you can use your magic to make it look like you're just OK."

"I don't know, Tony." Natasha Romanoff commented. "I think it suits him pretty good. He looks like an actor I saw in a movie once." She sighed. "Now, if only I could get my suit back from the dry cleaners- I can't believe you dyed it pink."

"Umm, actually, that was Hawkeye."

"Hey!" Clint put his hands up in a defensive position. "Don't pin that on me. That was Steve. I only spiked Bruce's drink with caffeine." He turned to Bruce. "And, may I add that replacing my quiver with Cupid arrows is NOT Justified Retribution-" He was cut off with the sound of a gunshot, and a splash of red spraying from Loki's shirt as he crashed to the floor.

"WHATTHE-"

"And that," Coulson added snarkily from the doorway "Is for replacing all of SHIELD's Coffee machines with Decaf."

Loki got up from the floor. "Arrgh. That HURT!"

All eyes turned in horror from Coulson's souped-up paintball gun to Loki.

"I can't believe you did that- the HUMANITY!" Tony Stark yelled.

"I'm glad you approve, Mr. Stark." Coulson tipped his head to Tony. His eyes suddenly widened.

"STARK!"

"That would be Rogers."

"THIS IS NOT FUNNY." Rogers shoved his shield forward, in view of everyone. "I cannot believe you!" Everyone gasped.

Thor looked on in utter shock- his photo was pasted crudely on the front of the shield, with small red Midgardian heart shapes painted equally as sloppily all around it. He blushed.

Loki shot eye daggers at Stark. "Alright, that's it, JARVIS, May I? Please?"

"No."

"Hey guys-" Hawkeye had walked out to the balcony, and was now peering over the edge. "I think you oughta see this.

Pepper waved happily from a departing quinjet.

Everyone walked to where Hawkeye was. And promptly gasped.

A banner had been tied on (and completely concealed) the STARK lettering on the tower.

"Well, I think all of Tony's prankees are satisfied," Steve commented, laughing.

In huge, bold black letters on the banner read POTTS.

Bruce smiled. "We've all been gotten, and had our little revenge, but... ah... is ANYONE really ready to try pranking Pepper Potts?

Thor's eyebrows were practically in his hairline. "That would be Ragnarok."

Everyone laughed and started to disperse. Hawkeye went off to play video games with Thor, and Rogers and Natasha went off to spar in the basement. Loki and Banner went off who-know-where to discuss who-knows-what. Which left Tony Stark and Phil Coulson.

"So... uhh... do I just take care of the whole 'POTTS' thing myself, or..."

Coulson laughed, and patted him on the shoulder. "No- I'll help." He pulled out a jackknife. "But do you think that the whole 'Thor on the shield' was a bit much?"

"What? You wanted it to be you?"

Coulson's face lost all sense of humor that it had possessed before.

"Actually, I think I'll join Hawkeye and Thor." He handed the knife to Stark "Good luck."

LOKI'D! Happy April Fools!
