AN: I know this idea has been messed with a lot, but I promise to try and make it original.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own any of the characters because they belong to Marvel.
SUMMARY:
Loki escapes Asgard and attacks the Avengers. However, he made a dark deal to escape, and when a spell goes wrong, both the Avengers and Loki are turned into children and have to work together. Over time, the Avengers begin to see Loki as he always has been: lonely and insecure. Meanwhile, Loki begins to claw his sanity back and feels guilt for what he did to earth. When the darkness that Loki dealt with comes back, will they survive? ****Hint**** Most/all of them will.
***PROLOGUE***
"My, my, Reindeer Games. Looks like you've seen better days," taunts Tony, and Loki throws him a withering glance. The demigod has bloody scars around his lips and burns near his eyes. His skin is pale grey with a sickly yellow tint, and his green eyes are clouded with fatigue.
"What amazing sensory skills you have, Mr. Stark," retorts Loki drily, before straightening up from the last blow he had been given by Hawkeye (who had a very large grudge against the god of mischief). "However I believe it's time we end this," with that, Loki begins chanting in a foreign language and green runes appear in the air.
"NO!" cries Thor, and he launches his hammer at Loki just as the trickster casts his spell. The hammer hits his arm, and the demigod cries out in pain and drops to his knees as a green explosion surrounds them. When the smoke clears, it reveals seven children staring at each other in horror. Suddenly, a moan from the ground catches their attention as Loki sits up, cradling his broken arm.
"You have no idea what you've done," whispers Loki, and a single tear slips from his eye before he curls on the ground, hugging his knees to his chest and taking shaky breaths. "You just signed all of our death warrants."
