Avengers Christmas
The Avengers are getting ready for Christmas, when they suddenly end up with a very unexpected guest in the form of Loki. Will the Avengers be able to let go of their grudges and hard feelings against the God of Mischief to allow him to stay for the holidays? Or will some grudges still remain?
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Avengers or Loki. But I will have an OC in there. :) Here is a short description of my OC:
My Avengers OC's
Keira Hart- a young girl from a village of ninjas (totally not related to Naruto in any way whatsoever, but she does watch that anime) in Tokyo, Japan. Her family are all trained ninja assassins that are feared all throughout Japan. However, due to a traumatic experience when she was only 10 years old (watching her older brother get killed, while she wasn't strong enough yet to do anything to prevent it as she could only watch helplessly), she realized she no longer wanted to be an assassin although she still trained in order to avenge her brother's death. And when she later heard of SHIELD, she longed to become an agent and to find a better use for her skills. Because of this, she was disowned by her family and kicked out of her village, but she still joined SHIELD anyway after Fury ended taking an interest in her abilities. And later on during the Chitauri invasion, she ended up joining the Avengers team in the battle against Loki and the Chitauri. Unfortunately, however, she soon found herself falling in love with the enemy as she soon began to develop feelings for the God of Mischief and becomes depressed when Thor takes Loki back to Asgard after the battle. And she now lives at Avengers Tower with the other Avengers. She also tends to be feisty and very stubborn at times, with a fiery temper that could probably put any Asgardian with a temper to shame.
Chapter 1 An Unexpected Christmas Surprise
Keira sighed longingly as she was walking back to Avengers Tower after just finishing her Christmas shopping. She had been sighing a lot lately since the Chitauri invasion, and the other Avengers noticed it too. Although Tony, Thor, and to an extent Clint (who still mostly holds a grudge against Loki the most for mind-controlling him), were pretty much the only ones out of them who knew that she had fallen in love with a certain God of Mischief during the battle, though it was still unclear as to whether Loki would ever return her feelings or not. Thor had even stated that Loki was incapable of displaying such feelings, but Keira knew he had to be wrong. There had to at least be some goodness inside him, but the question was how would she be able to prove that when Loki was still back on Asgard being punished for his crimes? She sighed again. She even ended up getting Loki something for Christmas without even thinking about it, despite the possibility of not being able to see him again.
"Maybe they were right, and I really am just giving myself false hope about seeing him again. And maybe falling in love with the enemy wasn't one of my best choices after all," she said to no one in particular. "But still, just being able to see Loki again would be the greatest Christmas present I could ever have, better than any store-bought wrapped present anyone could ever give me."
Just then she suddenly heard a mew from somewhere nearby, followed by something rubbing against her leg and causing her to squeak in surprise and jump back a bit. She looked down and saw that it was only a tiny black kitten with green eyes.
"Hey there kitty," she cooed softly as she knelt down to gently scratch its head. The kitten began to purr affectionately. "You're a friendly little guy, aren't ya? Or do you just like this?" she asked it as she was scratching it behind the ears, when she suddenly had a weird thought. "That's funny, here I was thinking about Loki and then you show up. But maybe it's just a coincidence. But you do remind me of him, so I'll call you Lokitty." The kitten looked up at her and mewed again, and Keira found herself gazing into its green eyes. Familiar green eyes that strangely made her think of Loki...
"No! Stop torturing yourself, Keira," she stubbornly told herself, and the kitten looked at her in concern. "Loki's still on Asgard, so this just has to be a coincidence. Right?" She gazed back at the kitten and saw something else she hadn't noticed. "But then again... Loki?" she asked it.
In a shimmer of light, the kitten suddenly began to glow a light greenish gold color, and in its place was none other than the God of Mischief himself right before her eyes. Keira could only gape in surprise, her eyes glistening with tears of joy, that is until he decided to break the awkward silence that began to form between them.
"I was unaware that you like to talk to yourself, Keira Hart," Loki told her, smirking.
"Well... I, um... that is... I-I mean..." she stammered, blushing a bit. She took a deep breath to compose herself before suddenly glomping him, taking him by surprise. "I'm just so happy to see you again, Loki!" she cried happily. "I just knew this would be the best Christmas present I could ever receive! Well I probably oughta say early Christmas present, since it's not exactly Christmas yet. And no, I don't actually like to talk to myself."
Loki gave her a confused look at that. "What is this Christmas you keep mentioning?"
"You're kidding, right? You mean to tell me Asgardians don't celebrate Christmas?" Keira asked, shocked and a bit confused.
"Not really," Loki admitted. "And there is no need to look shocked, I thought you would have already known."
"Well I kinda didn't really know that little tidbit," Keira admitted sheepishly. "But anyway, what about other holidays? I mean surely there's at least one you guys celebrate on Asgard, right? Halloween, Thanksgiving, New Years, Valentine's Day, the 4th of July, the 24 of July, birthdays-?" She rambled on with her list of every holiday she knew, even though she knew technically birthdays weren't actually considered holidays, until Loki put his hand over her mouth to quiet her.
"No, I'm afraid we do not have any of those on Asgard with the exception of birthdays," Loki told her. "But I would like to learn about all of those, if you don't think it would be too much trouble," he added.
Keira gave an amused yet warm smiled. "It's no trouble at all, I'd be more than happy to introduce you to our 'Midgard' holidays. We'll start with Christmas, of course, since tis the season right now." Just then her cell phone started going off with AC/DC's TNT playing as the ringtone. Sighing, she pulled it out and saw that it was Tony and answered. "What up, Stark?"
"Just thought you oughta know that we all got bored and we sort watched Elf without you," Tony said, while trying to hide any signs of snickering.
"Tony, prepare to meet your untimely demise when I get back!" Keira threatened darkly, her inner assassin beginning to show.
"Good luck with that, I'll just be in hiding somewhere," Tony replied, snickering along with Clint at their attempted prank as he hung up while leaving Keira to grumble something incoherent about how immature he was.
"Dare I ask what just happened?" Loki asked.
"Apparently Tony and the others decided to watch a movie without me, and it just so happened to be my favorite Christmas movie," Keira replied. "So anyway, you wanna come home with me?" she asked, changing the subject.
Loki suddenly looked surprised. "You really want me to stay?" he asked her.
"Well of course!" Keira replied cheerfully. "And besides, I especially don't like to turn away people during the holidays. And I did say I would explain to you about Christmas, didn't I? As long as you don't have any more world take-over ideas with another war of the worlds alien invasion," she added just as a joke.
Loki smirked mischievously. "Well I can't really promise anything," he replied jokingly.
Keira giggled. "Well let's go, shall we? Oh and don't worry, I think I can manage to convince the other Avengers to let you stay. Although I'm not too sure about Clint, considering he's still holding a grudge. Oh well, I guess he can just deal with it."
So Keira, along with Loki, headed back to Avengers Tower while explaining to him about Christmas along the way as he listened with interest.
"Keira, thank you," Loki said quietly.
Keira gave a warm smile. "No problem, I always enjoy spreading a bit of Christmas cheer to everyone around me!"
Loki gave a small yet amused smile in return. "No, I meant thank you for being the first person to ever understand me and not judge me for who I am. But I liked what you said as well."
Keira couldn't stop the small blush that began spreading across her face as he said that. "You've heard the saying 'don't judge a book by its cover', right?" Loki nodded. "Well if you stop and think about it, it's the same way with people too. And so I never judge people for who or what they are." She suddenly grinned. "Come to think of it, it's kinda like in the Disney movie Beauty and the Beast. I'll have to let you watch it sometime."
"I would like that," Loki said.
They both soon arrived at Avengers Tower, although as soon as they were inside, they ended up being met with not-so-friendly stares from some of the other Avengers the minute they saw Loki walk in behind Keira.
"Keira, what is HE doing here?!" Clint snarled.
"It's nice to see you again too, Barton," Loki replied dryly, which only earned him a glare from Clint in reply.
"Oh, come on! Really?" Keira protested. "I'm not kicking Loki out after I just barely brought him here! Can't you at least try to get along?"
Clint scoffed. "With HIM? Absolutely not!"
"I do have a name, you know," Loki told him calmly.
"Oh hey, Reindeer Games. You here to start another invasion? Because we'll stop you again if we have to." Of course, Tony just had to go and make a joke at that moment. "And by the way, Keira, I was just kidding about the movie. We didn't really watch it without you."
"Good, you're forgiven," Keira said. "And as for that joke you said about Loki," she then sent a shuriken flying towards Tony with a flick of her wrist.
"Whoa! Hey, I was kidding!" Tony yelped as he just barely dodged it in time. "I actually admit I'm glad to see Loki again, seeing as he makes you happy."
"Yes, he does make me happy!" Keira stated defensively. "And if any of you have a problem with that, then I'll just leave the Avengers team and Loki and I will just find a nice apartment to live in!"
Loki was shocked that she was actually willing to go as far as leaving the Avengers just for him, and he had to admit she was still just as feisty since he first met her during the Chitauri invasion. He couldn't resist a smirk as she still had that fire he admired. Although he wanted to see what the other Avengers would say, seeing as they were as equally surprised as he was.
Tony was the first to speak. "Look Keira, you know we never meant any offense towards you bringing Loki here. Well maybe except for Legolas, anyway. I admit I was a bit surprised at seeing him again here since the Chitauri invasion, but some of us have already known about how you feel about him which is why I'm saying I don't mind that you brought him here."
"I agree with Tony," Steve said. "We really have no right to judge you and Loki being together."
"Well that makes two of you for a good start," Keira said, now that only left Bruce, Natasha, and Clint.
"I have no objections with it," Bruce said.
Natasha was a bit hesitant at first. "Well he did brainwash Clint, but I suppose I could be willing to look past it. Besides, I would also be the only woman on the team if Keira were to leave us, and then who would be here to help keep you men in line? And I just mean you immature ones," she added, with that last part directed at the men.
Keira nodded, then looked over at Clint who was still grumbling about Loki being here. "Well, majority wins then," Keira said. "So you can just deal with it, Birdbrain!"
"Fine!" Clint grumbled, just as Thor decided to make an entrance.
"Well well, the witless oaf makes his appearance," Loki stated dryly.
"Loki, I have been sent to bring you back to Asgard again," Thor told him. "Father was not too happy when you decided to pull an escape and come back here to Midgard."
"Your father, Thor, not mine. Must I always have to keep reminding you?" Loki shot back. "And I will not be going back, because Keira has already allowed me to stay for Christmas!"
Thor turned to Keira. "Lady Keira, as I have informed you before, Loki is incapable of displaying such feelings towards you."
"Oh yeah? Then you may as well be comparing him to a robot or a zombie!" Keira snapped. "And you can tell Odin that Loki will be staying here and spending Christmas with us! Actually, better yet just take me to Asgard so I can tell him that myself!"
Thor sighed. "Very well then, Lady Keira," he relented. "Odin will not be too happy about it, but just knowing how stubborn you can be doesn't give me much of a choice. But on one condition, you must tell me about this Christmas and also how Loki already knows of it," he added as an afterthought.
"Fine, you got a deal," Keira told him.
"And I already know of it because Keira has already told me about it," Loki added.
Thor nodded. "Fair enough, I suppose. Are you still not going to return to Asgard, Loki?"
"Well perhaps just to see how Keira deals with Odin," Loki replied, smirking. "I'm curious to see how he will react to someone as feisty as she is."
"Alright then," Thor replied as he then called on Heimdall to open the Bifrost and he, Loki, and Keira were soon transported to Asgard.
And I think I'll just end it there for this chapter. Next chapter will be on Asgard and Keira telling Odin what she thinks of him because of how he's always treated Loki. Anyway, for now I hope you enjoy this chapter. ^_^ And also Elf is one of my favorite Christmas movies, btw. I absolutely LOVE that movie!~
