I do not own the Avengers, Marvel or anything else in story just the plot idea. No yaoi is in this story but there might be mild swearing, pranks and murderous thoughts from everyone's favorite trickster.

Chapter 10 – Hide and Seek Part 2
*stArk Tower Ballroom*
"Yes you see after I pranked you all I realized something." Loki said arrogantly looking down at his victims.
"And what would that be?" Tasha asked.
"Agent Barton like all of you want revenge for what I have done so I decided to come up with part two of our game." The trickster said looking at the archer who was still giving him a murderous glare from the Widow's hold.
"So what's part two Loki?" Fury's voice asked from inside his hen costume wanting the trickster to get to the point.
"I am here to make you all a promise and a deal," Loki started basking in the confused faces of his enemies. "You see I AM going to leave this building no matter what however I wish to continue with our game so why not take our game into the city.
"We're not going to let you harm innocent people Loki." Bruce said starting to turn a light shade of green.
"This is where the promise comes in," Loki put his hands up in surrender at the tiny gamma scientist and quickly continued with what the promise was hoping that no fear leaked into his voice. "I promise not to harm the city or the civilians of who reside in it for the remainder of our game until you lose then it goes back to you trying to capture me well I subjugate your world."
Everyone mulled over the trickster's promise depending on whether his deal was worth him going free and the chase to start all over again. The fact that he promised not to go near the civilian's gave them hope of ending Loki's escape quickly and without further incident.
"Brother what is the deal you mentioned." Thor said looking at his fellow god with a slight frown.
"I am not your brother Thor why can't you get that through your thick skull." Loki growled at the pigtailed blonde.
"Loki what's the deal?" Fury said spoke again drawing the trickster out of his murderous stare at the thunderer.
"This is hide and seek is it not so I am going to hide somewhere in the city," Loki said. "You get 24 hours to find me if you do then I will accept whatever punishment you deem fair."
"And if you win?" Clint asked surprisingly calm.
"WHEN I win Agent Barton," Loki said to the holiday clad man in a haughty tone. "I get to go free until you can catch me again AND you cannot seek revenge for my mischief."
"You'll accept whatever we do to you if we catch you if we win but if you win we can't come looking for payback and you get to leave till we find you again." Tony typed on his iPad walking towards the trickster and showing it to him wanting to reconfirm the rules.
"Yes those would be the prizes of the games," Loki said reading the iPad well everyone wondered what it was that Tony had written. "I would also like to remind you that I have promised not to harm your city and to stay away from the residents during the games time limit"
"And HOW are we supposed to find you well trapped in my building." Tony questioned further.
"I will release the spell I have cast on your building Stark and the those inside for a 10 minute head start." Loki said as everyone continued to follow the one-sided conversation.
"Even my suit?" Tony pressed thinking of the dancing suit upstairs.
"Yes Stark even your suit will stop dancing." Loki said slightly annoyed.
"Deal." Was the only word typed causing Loki a little bit of surprise on how easy Tony Stark had agreed to the next part of his game. Looking towards the other occupants Loki hoped to add their own agreements to Stark's.
"Stark has agreed to my rules what about the rest of you?" He asked.
"Bro- Loki I also agree as long as no harm comes to those who dwell in the city." Thor said.
"Me too though I think I'll play this game not the other guy." Bruce spoke from Zoom's shoulder.
Tasha and Clint just looked at their Director waiting to see what he thought of the deal. With a slight nod of the oversized head they added their agreements.
"I don't think this is a good idea you have some type of angle here Loki." Steve said giving the god an untrustworthy gaze.
"Captain if you are able to catch me then Thor will take me back to Asgard for the Allfather's punishment after you all have obtained some type of vengeance but when I win I get a little more time away from that unwanted trip." Loki said looking at the captain.
"There is something else here I'm sure of it." Steve continued.
"Your right there is the knowledge that I did in fact beat you all and the fun of the game." Loki said looking like an excited child for a second before he schooled his features again
"You must have been a very bored child when you were young if this is your idea of a game." Tony typed showing the god.
"Not bored Mr. Stark just no one was willing to play the games that I wanted." Loki explained to the mime.
"Loki that is not true." Thor protested.
"Yes it is how many times I asked you and your friends to play this game with me instead of going off and play fighting" Loki replied back harshly at his adoptive brother.
"We were training to be warriors your games would have had nothing to offer us" Thor declared.
"I told you many times when we were young that stealth is as important to a warrior as strength you just never listened" Loki countered.
"Thor I have to agree with Loki being able to hide and find and enemy is important." Tasha said breaking up the brother's argument before Thor could argue back.
"Same here though I'll deny it later if I wasn't able to hide so well I wouldn't be half as good an archer." Clint nodded agreeing with Tasha and sadly Loki also.
"Thank you Agent Romanoff, Agent Barton," Loki said waving his hand and turning the spies back to normal. Glad they were normal again the assassin's reached for their weapons knowing they still had a job to but found them still under Loki's spell. "Just you defended me doesn't mean I'm stupid enough to give you back your weapons."
"Just because you had a point doesn't mean I won't get you back for that diaper." Clint said looking down at one of his heart shaped arrows.
"Same here when we win I'm coming for some serious payback." Tasha added holstering her glitter gun.
Loki looked at the Captain still waiting for his agreement. Seeing that Clint and Widow were changed back Steve just looked at the god and said. "Fine I'll agree to your stupid game under the condition that you stay visible but away from civilians hiding out somewhere in the city would be unfair."
"Fair enough Captain Rogers I shall stick to high places," Loki agreed to condition holding his arms out as a band of green light appeared circling both of Loki's wrists before disappearing and leaving two bracelets on them. "The deal is struck these bracelets are proof of that I shall take my leave in 10 minutes all magic on you all shall end as will the barrier around the building shall disappear."
Teleporting away everyone gathered around the front of the stage where Tony was and started discussing their strategy on finding Loki.
*?*
Placing all his spells on a time limit in the building Loki summoned a mass of clones to appear on the roof of the building across from him before they all quickly disappeared having been ordered to just wander around the roofs of the city away from civilian's waiting for the Avengers to find them.
'And well they are out hunting my clones I will stay here and await victory.' Loki thought knowing that his plan would keep the Avengers busy for a full day.
Turning away from the window Loki glanced around the room he was in before his eyes fell to an item just in front of him.
'It looks very comfy maybe a few minutes rest would help pass the time quicker.' He thought wearily
Summoning his green cape Loki laid on the comfortable item fixing his cape over him like a blanket before closing his eyes and drifting off to sleep.
Will the Avengers find Loki and win or will Loki beat the Avengers at Hide and Seek.
