Loki's Little Angels

Disclaimer: If Marvel was mine, Loki's kids would be in the movies. At least Thor. It is quite probable that Loki would have won, too.

A/N: Here we go peeps. This is my first multi chapter fic on here. I'm going to try and update once a week or once every two weeks.

Chapter 1

The Arrival

Things have changed in the five months that have passed since the Avengers went up to visit Asgard. Loki and Thor have moved down to Midgard and the god of thunder is staying in Stark Tower. Or, what was Stark Tower. The building is now called Avengers Tower.

Steve had been unable to pay his rent for the apartment he was staying in, so Tony had invited him to stay in his giant tower. Bruce had been staying there for a while, so that made three of the Avengers staying there. Then Clint and Natasha's rooms had been rented out to two new agents at S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters. Five super heroes staying in one tower. Then Thor had said that he wanted to stay with his Midgardian friends. Six super heroes. Loki and his family had moved down to Earth to be closer to Thor. And the kids absolutely adore Clint.

Loki doesn't live in Avengers Tower, but he isn't too far away. He visits often, but most of the time his children and wife stay home. Especially since Sigyn could go into labor any day now. She seems to glow with happiness whenever the Avengers see her.

Right now, Loki and Sigyn are waiting in their living room for Clint to show up. The two of them are going out for the night. It is their anniversary, after all. Narfi and Vali can hardly contain their excitement. They haven't gotten still all day, and quite frankly, they're starting to get on Loki's nerves. He turns to his boys and says irritably, "Could you please get still?"

Sigyn slaps his shoulder, smiling. "Stop it. They're just excited."

Loki sighs and says apologetically, "Sorry, boys. I'm glad you're happy."

Vali and Narfi glance at each other before running to the window to watch for Clint's arrival. Hela follows more slowly, holding onto things or keeping a hand on the wall. She walks with a sort of hobble, due to her thinner, withered right leg. She finally gets to them and Narfi hoists her up onto his shoulders. She's so small that it's easy for him to do so.

Loki smiles at Sigyn, who rests her head on his shoulder. He puts an arm around her waist and kisses the top of her head. They've been married for twelve years now. Nobody would have guessed that the man who tried to take over the world had had a wife at home who had just given birth to a little girl. A little girl who was half dead and thought to be mentally challenged. But he did. And he loved them both dearly. The need to get back to them was the only thing that kept him going. The one thing that made him need to please the Chitauri. If he could just get Midgard, he could go home. If he could win, he would be able to see his family again. His twin sons. His beautiful wife. His tiny little daughter who hadn't even discovered her hands yet.

But now he is home. Now he can see his family every day. Now he never has to miss a moment of his children's lives. And no one will be able to take that away from him again. He has them, they are his own, and no one can touch them or take them away.

As Clint drives down the road to Loki's house, he breathes out, "Whoa..."

The place is huge. It's got at least three stories, two chimneys and a front porch. But it doesn't look friendly. Its paint is an old, dull looking brown. The roof is black and angular. It looks like a villain's house. Clint prods Natasha's arm. She looks up from her book and shrugs.

"He's Loki. Did you expect a doll house?"

Clint looks back at the road, appearing a little put out. "No, but I thought he might have something a little less like a haunted house. He does have kids, you know. That's why we're here."

Natasha shrugs again and looks back down at her book.

When Clint pulls up in the gravel driveway, Vali jumps up and down and Narfi shouts, "Hurray, hurray! He's here, he's here!"

Loki smiles again and says over the clamor, "Alright, you three. Time for us to go over the rules."

The twins run over, Hela still on Narfi's shoulders. Loki asks, "What's rule number one?"

Vali answers, "Rule number one: No running in the house."

Loki nods. "Exactly. And you already broke that rule."

The twins look down at the floor, but Hela says cheerfully, "I didn't!"

Loki can't help but chuckle. He then prompts, "Rule number two?" to which Narfi replies, "Rule number two: No yelling or shouting."

Loki nods. "Rule number three?"

Hela says softly, "Be respeck-reshpect-respectool."

Loki nods. "That's right. Be respectful. You all know what to do if there's an emergency, right?"

Three nods and one, "Yup!" from Narfi. Loki asks, "What, then? What do you do?"

Narfi and Vali answer at the same time, "If there's an emergency, call 911."

Loki nods, looking satisfied. He's certain that Clint will be able to take care of them, but he wanted to make sure that they knew what to do in the unlikely case that something happen to the archer himself. It turns out that they did remember some of what he taught them about Midgardian safety. At least what number to call.

There's a knock on the door and Sigyn goes to answer it. She smiles and says to Clint and Natasha, "Come in. They can hardly wait to see you."

As soon as the boys see Clint, they run straight toward him, shouting, "Clint, Clint! You're finally here!"

Loki rubs his temple, sighing. The first two rules have already been forgotten. Hopefully they will be a bit more obedient when all the excitement dies down a bit.

Vali wraps his arms around Clint's left leg and the archer ruffles up the kid's carefully combed hair. Narfi gets close enough for Hela to be able to hug Clint, too. He scoops the girl from her brother's shoulders and holds her on his hip. Narfi hugs his other leg, taking away his ability to walk.

Natasha watches this with a smug expression. Clint had bet that the kids would greet her just as eagerly as himself, and she had taken the bet. Obviously she had won, as none of the children seem to have noticed the redhead.

Hela turns her head and says quietly, "I missed you, too."
This makes Natasha smile a bit and she says, "I've been looking forward to seeing you all again. But I must be invisible to your brothers. What do you think?"

Hela nods solemnly. Narfi and Vali choose that moment to look up at Natasha and grin. They abandon Clint's legs and wrap their arms around her, instead. She hugs their heads to her stomach and smiles. Maybe they did care for her, too.

Loki smiles at the little group and says, "Hela has to go to bed around eight, but the twins stay up till nine. Sigyn already has dinner ready, so you don't have to worry about that. Hela gets a story and don't forget to tuck her in. If you don't do so, she'll get up fifteen minutes later. They should have their baths around thirty minutes before bed. Hela will need some help getting undressed, in and out of the bathtub and into her sleep clothes. She'll also need assistance with her hair."

Clint looks at Natasha and she nods. Clint looks relieved. He didn't want to have to be the one to dress the girl. It's not that he thinks that she wouldn't behave, but that he's afraid that he would hurt her. Hela gives him a crooked smile and he hugs her closer.

Loki asks, "Any questions?"

Clint nods. "Just one. I've got a couple movies picked out for us all to watch. They are allowed to watch them, right?"

Loki is about to answer when Sigyn interrupts, "Of course. As long as there isn't anything bad in them."

Clint shakes his head, smiling. Natasha says, "Just a couple of the classic Disney movies. They're G."

Sigyn nods, smiling. "Okay then. I trust you. Just have fun, okay?"

Clint, Natasha, Hela, Vali and Narfi all nod. The twins say simultaneously, "Of course we will!"

Loki crouches down and says, "Come on, you three. Time for bedtime kisses."

Clint throws Natasha a glance, an eyebrow raised. Natasha shrugs. Hela wriggles down out of Clint's arms and hobbles over to her father and falls into his arms. He hugs her close and says, kissing her cheek after every phrase, "The sun loves you, the moon loves you, every star loves you. But most of all," here he pauses and buries his face in her belly. "Dada loves you!"

Hela giggles and squirms a bit. She says softly, "Baba loves you!"

Clint raises the other eyebrow. He mouths, "Baba?" Natasha elbows his shoulder and hisses, "Shut up."

Hela makes her slow way over to Sigyn and holds up her arms. Sigyn lifts her up into her arms and kisses her cheek. She does the same as Loki and kisses her in between each phrase. "The plants love you, the animals love you, every living thing loves you. But most of all, " she pauses, too, and rubs her nose against Hela's. "Mama loves you!"

Hela giggles again. Her little laugh is really quite cute. She says quietly, "Baba loves you, too!"

Narfi is next for his kisses. He walks over to Loki and wraps his arms around his father's neck. Loki puts his arms around his son and says, "You are my sunshine and my happiness. You're the source of happy days and why the sun is so bright. But most of all, you're my little boy, whom I love."

Narfi smiles and says, "I love you, too, Dada."

Clint says softly, "I'm actually a bit jealous." Natasha gently takes his hand.

Narfi moves over to Sigyn and she says, "You give me all the joy in the world and you make me smile. Your kindness shines brighter than any flame in the world. Your heart is soft and kind. But most of all, I love you because you are my own little boy, whom I love." She kisses the top of his head, smiling.

Narfi grins, showing the gap between his top two front teeth. "I love you, too, Mama."

Now it's Vali's turn. He goes over to Loki and puts his little arms around his father's neck, just as Narfi had done. Loki wraps his arms around the boy and kisses his forehead. "You are my quiet moment, my peaceful resting. You are the light in the night and why the moon changes shapes. But most of all, you're my little boy, whom I will always love."

Vali smiles and says, "I love you, Dada."

He then moves over to his mother. Sigyn smiles down at him and says, "You're my little lap child, the one who always comforts me. Your eyes shine like the stars in the heavens above. You give the little owls a light to fly by at night. But most of all, I love you because you are my little boy, whom I love." She kisses his head, too, still smiling.

Vali smiles again and says, "I love you, too, Mama."

Loki straightens up and looks at Sigyn. "Are you ready to go, love?"

Sigyn nods and they thank the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents for their time. They head out the door and it closes behind them. Clint jumps a little before realizing that Loki must have used his magic to close it.

The archer turns to the kids and asks, "So, what do you wanna do first?"

A/N: So, there's the first chapter! The second will probably be up next week.

For 'Baba', which is what Hela calls herself: Pronounce this like when a baby wants its bottle. Or, if this helps, like the sound a sheep makes, but less vibrate-y and shoved together. Or like Boba Fett's first name. If this is still confusing, there's nothing I can do to help you. I am sorry.

Please tell me any ideas for the kiddies that you have. I've already got several, but if you have something that you'd really like to see done, let me know. I love hearing from you guys.

Please leave a review. Those guys make me uber happy. ;)
