After things quieted down tony helped loki up from the ball on the floor but as he stood he seemed to look younger like a teenager now a god. He was smaller and more childish looking. His hair a little longer.
"Loki what is happening to you?" was all tony could say before loki turned swiftly to thor
"Look at me thor! Take me to mother now!" loki ground out as he grabbed thor by the collar shaking him until tony grabbed him around the waist trying to pull him off thor
"Brother it's just a spell" thor whimpered trying to calm himself down
"a spell to de-age him to before you and your stuiped family broke me!" loki struggled in tony's arms he was growling as he kept shrinking and de-aging until he was a small 4 year old boy. He was still tattooed and pierced which looked weird on a four year old. After the initial shock wore off tony handed loki back to thor. Thor held loki close to keep from hitting him before he sat down and brushed and braided loki's hair like when he would use to.
"thor what's going on?!" bruce said coming to the front to look at loki who was trying to get away from thor
" my mother has de-aged loki to before he had problems that made him what you saw, he has lost a little memory but he remembers most things" thor said finally realising loki who ran right in Natasha's legs where he clung to until he looked up to see who it was.
Once he saw Natasha looking down at him he let go and ran blindly down halls and through rooms the sound of footsteps catching up on him only made him run faster he was eager to get away from the mortals. Natasha was first follow loki the look he gave her was heart breaking even for her, she knew he thought she would hurt him even if he was a child.
Natasha was fast and she soon found loki running down a hall that happened to have a giant window at the end which loki was currently racing towards grabby little hands reaching for it. She quickly closed the gap and grabbed him pulling up and holding him close as she caught her breath. Loki relaxed slightly but tensed right up when the rest of the avengers came into view and he struggled again.
" i-i-i-im s-sorry pwease wet go pwease pwase i-im sorry" loki stumbled over his words as tears streaked down his face
"loki sshhh it's okay it's okay nothing's going to happen to you" Natasha tried to do more but loki finally got her to drop him which scared every one of the avengers luckily tony acted quickly catching the toddler before he connected to the floor.
Loki looked shell shocked as tony stood up with him his eyes were wide and he was breathing hard and he tears in his eyes. Tony noticed he was shaking and quickly gave him to bruce who checked him over for anything but he was fine just scared as soon as bruce was done thor quickly snatched his brother away from bruces arms and loki did fight but he was relaxed at least..
They went back to the living room and put loki down his t-shirt hung loosely on him like a dress. Loki tugged and pulled at the shirt before he pulled out the pony tail and unbraided his hair letting the black curls fall into his face and around his shoulders. Everything was fine until for no reason loki began to cry and his little tattooed fingers began to tangle into his hair. Natasha picked loki up and rocked him back and forth. This was the moment the avengers knew they would be raising a difficult child.
