A/N: So, this is my first foray into the Avengers fandom. I've recently watched Thor 2 and I'm all hopped up on excitement so I just had to write this. This is the intro chapter and thus, it is super short. But the rest of the chapters will be longer. Quite a bit longer.
Disclaimer: I have...a Loki shirt! Yay for chibi Loki. But I have nothing else. Aww, so sad.
Most of the Avengers agreed that the day Loki discovered coffee was a good day for the rest of the world.
Caffeine seemed to do wonders for Loki's mood. It enhanced the playful, mischievous side of his personality that had been all but buried under centuries of bitter unhappiness and homicidal impulses.
Frankly, everyone liked this side of Loki better. It would be a stretch to say that coffee had made Loki a normal, rational human being. But at least it was a step in the right direction.
After all, it was hard to label Loki as much of a threat anymore when his most recent evil scheme had involved turning the city's entire water supply into vodka. Nick Fury had not been amused by the reports of all the tipsy kindergarteners who had been unfortunate enough to take a sip from the drinking fountain that day. But Tony Stark, at least, had felt more charitable towards Loki. The vodka had been really, really good. And besides, no one had been killed or even seriously injured, unless one counted Tony's wicked hangover the next day.
And so, the Avengers were on the verge of signing a peace treaty with Loki. They had all agreed that they would let Loki remain on Earth and make no more efforts to capture him, as long as continued to be relatively harmless. All they needed was Loki's word that there would be no more mass-murdering, no more trying to take over the world, no more drunken children. Thor, as the one who knew Loki best, was chosen to meet with him and gauge whether he would actually stick to any such agreement.
Since Loki's newest evil lair was located directly under the local Starbucks, it seemed like a logical place to meet.
