The avengers had defeated thanos, (and thank the gods they did) but Loki was still faced with a problem. He had been seriously injured during his fight with the titan thanos, and Thor had presumed him dead. Loki had mustered up as much magic as he could to teleport himself back to earth, and while trying to disguise himself to look like anyone else on the planet, he got distracted and turned himself into a cat. Most of his injuries had gone away, but one of his legs had broken and he still had lots of bruises. Loki was lucky enough to have teleported so close to the stark tower, he would just have to stay hidden enough for one of them to accept him. Loki discovered that transforming into a cat-even if not on purpose-could actually greatly benefit him. After all, who doesn't like a cat? And who could turn down a hurt stray kitten like loki? Surely nothing could go wrong with that.

At the avengers tower -

Tony was working hard on some upgrades for his suit and some of the other avengers, after thanos he had become quite paranoid. Always working, never sleeping-he hadn't been this way for a long time. Thor still mourned over his people, and Loki. Especially Loki. Still, Thor didn't let it keep him down too much. He was very excited to meet newer avengers and you could tell how excited Peter Parker was to chat with him, asking all sorts of questions about space. Shuri leaned over the couch joining in on Thor and Parker's conversation. They all seemed to really enjoy each other's company. A few minutes later Bucky and Cap would walk into the room, cap was holding a small, jet black kitten with bright green eyes.

"C'mon guys! I said no pets!" Tony said angrily as he stepped away from his work.

"Look at the guy, he's all injured. I can't not help him." Cap held him up for tony to look at, but he just grumbled nonsense about fleas and turned around.

"Let me have a look, In Wakanda I was able to fix a few goats that accidentally got trampled by a rhino. I think I could help that little guy," shuri offered. Peter stared in awe at the Cat, already thinking of names. Someone, tony noticed that. "Kid-don't name it. We aren't keeping it."

Peter frowned and looked over at Cap, who had just handed the cat to shuri. He winked at peter.

A few hours later, shuri came back with the Cat. He had a cast around one of his legs which he wasn't too thrilled about. "As you can see he's got a broken leg, but he can walk with the other three pretty well. Also, he's got a lot of scratches over him, so be gentle when you pet him." Shuri put him on the floor to show his walking off, which Loki took that moment to head straight towards Thor. He wanted to shape shift back into himself then, but he didn't know what the others would say-or what Thor would say. It didn't matter anyways, he had used up so much magic healing himself he couldn't turn back yet. The worst part was that he didn't even get to fully heal, he was really in for it. Thor picked up Loki very excitedly. "He's chosen me!" He exclaimed. Tony sighed. "Thor! Don't grip him so hard!" Shuri warned before taking the cat out of his hands. "You'll hurt him," Shuri put Loki back on the floor as gentle as possible after showing Thor how to properly hold a cat. Loki sat down next to the couch and curled up. Being a cat was exhausting, but he was more exhausted of the cast around his back leg. He was focusing all of his energy on healing that, but nothing was happening. You're supposed to be healing! Loki yelled in his head. He wasn't even using energy to stay as a Cat-in fact he had no clue as to why that was working so well. But he didn't care at the moment, all he cared about was sleep, which was easier to do than it was before-surprisingly.

When Loki woke up, there was a bowl in front of him. The bowl was filled with cat food. Shuri and Peter eagerly sat on the floor behind the bowl watching. Loki sat up and sniffed the food. This is not food. He hissed at the bowl. "C'mon little guy," peter spoke in one of voices a person uses on babies. "You gotta eat to feel better." Loki turned and looked at his leg, then back at the food. Slowly, he leaned is head into the food bowl, then tasted a piece. He spit it out. Not worth it. He hissed at the food again.

"What are you doing?" Thor asked as he walked in.

"Trying to feed the cat but he won't eat." Peter frowned.

"Where's the food?"

"What do you mean?"

"You said you're feeding him. Where's the food?"

Peter showed Thor the bowl of cat food, in which Thor responded with heavy laughter. "That's not food!" Thor took the bowl from peter and left to go to the kitchen.

"Wow, he really likes Thor." Shuri said. Loki hadn't realized he started purring when Thor came in. "Mister Thor is pretty likeable! I bet all animals like him."

"Heh. Probably."

Thor came back with a plate of sliced ham-which Loki happily ate. "See! Real food."

"I don't know if just meat is okay for a cats diet." Shuri said concerned.

"It's probably fine." Peter shrugged.
