Heey! Alright so i suck at updating! I am AGAIN so so sorry for how long it takes me! hahaha school just really sucks at the moment! But i really hope you like this chapter! It was kind of fun to write! ahhaha
And i yet again dont the avengers.. shocker.
By the time the de-aged avengers had arrived at the school it was dark outside.
"Is the school even still opened?" Tony was the first to speak as the taxis drove away.
"I'm not sure; I'm not exactly any more experienced than you are with this place." Steve replied his face scrunched up in a frown as he looked up at the dark blue shaded school.
They didn't say another word as they slowly walked towards the entrance to the school in a line, Tony holding Bruce's hand. As they came up to the door they all froze and then turned to face Steve. Steve gave them a look back before leaning over and checking if the door was open. Breaking the previous silence the entrance door to the school screeched open loudly and the sound echoed down the abandoned pitch black hallway just inside.
Steve walked inside with Thor following close behind; Bruce went to walk forward but stopped after noticing that Tony didn't make any move of entering.
"Steve, I'm not sure about this." Tony spoke up in a serious tone, his eyes wondering at blank black image that was the school's hallway at night.
"Tony come on, the good guys are waiting for us here." Steve replied while turning back around to face the hallway. "Is there any lights here?" He then mumbled to himself.
"Who was the guy that told you to come here?" Tony questioned in a louder voice.
"Just some guy that showed up while I was packing." Steve answered in a huff.
"Why do you believe him so much? You don't know him. You don't even know his name!" Tony pointed out; he was considering going back to Natasha and Clint.
"Tony, please! Just trust me! I just know he was telling the truth!" The blonde teenager said desperately in response.
"No! You don't just know somethings the truth! You need more proof; this could be a massive trap Steve!" You could tell Tony was actually concerned due to him using Steve's actual name.
Steve was about to reply but another voice interrupted him, "Young avengers! Oh am I glad to see your arrival."
They all jumped and turned to face where the voice come from, they watched as a tall figure slowly came into sight from the shadows.
"Loki!" Bruce suddenly said and Tony, confused, looked from the small boy to the tall man.
"Young Bruce, I am deeply sorry for the mayhems that came from my magical gift with the small man. I didn't mean any harm." Loki said with a sweet smile.
Bruce slightly nodded before running over and giving Loki a hug, his way of saying it was okay.
Tony just stared at the man, trying to read him and see whether he could trust the man.
Steve smiled slightly and awkwardly at the tall magical man.
And Thor stood there in shock, his mouth wide open.
"Loki! My brother! 'tis I Thor! I am he from a younger time!" the de-aged demi god said in a loud booming voice.
"Oh brother I know! I am here to help you! To return you back to your normal time!" Loki said and sent a grin to his tiny brother.
Thor ran and jumped into his adopted brother's arms.
"Come young ones! I will take you to the place where I shall return you back to the safety of your normal time." Loki said as he held his smaller than usual brother's hand and turned around to lead them through the dark hallway. Their eyes had adjusted to their surrounds so they could now see as they walked on.
As the others followed the man, Tony took a hesitant step forward but froze in place. There was too many thoughts running through his head to comprehend and it was making him panic slightly.
"Is there something the matter young man?" Loki asked noticing that the teen wasn't following him.
"Tony, come on!" Steve begged, sending a small reassuring smile and a gesture telling him to follow.
"I uh- Um… I… Alright." The teen finally let the thoughts quieten down as he reluctantly tagged on behind as they passed all the classrooms.
He didn't know whether to trust this guy or to trust Natasha and Clint.
It was announced that Loki was Thor's brother so he must be reliable right?
But what if it's a lie? Maybe he wasn't really Thor's brother but an imposter.
Tony's hands started to nervously tap on his sides as he dragged his feet along the ground, not feeling confident about his decision to follow.
'I wonder what Nat is doing right now.' He thought to himself.
Natasha stalked into the lounge room after a frantic call with fury.
"Fury doesn't know anything about the disappearance. It has got to be Loki! He must have been still in the tower!" She said in a rush, a look of panic smeared upon her face.
"We have no idea where that lunatic would take them! Or what he would do with them!" Clint stressed, his hand making its ways through his spikey hair.
"Excuse me sir Clint and miss Natasha." A British voice came from nowhere making the two agents jump in surprise. "I do not mean to eavesdrop but I happen to have something that could help you in your situation."
"Jarvis!" Natasha and Clint said at the same time, they have forgotten about the AI throughout the de-aging from being too overwhelmed with the fact that they now had to babysit their fellow team mates. "Jarvis! Where have you been this whole time?!" Clint asked, shock still showing on his face.
"Mister Stark knew of a man named Jarvis back at that younger age, it would've caused more troubles on your behalf if he had known of my presence." Jarvis replied.
"Oh.. right… What do you have for us Jarvis?"
"Upon over-hearing a conversation within those who are missing, it is apparent that young mister Stark and the others who are currently de-aged have headed off to the school to see a man who claims to be one of the good guys." Jarvis answered once again.
"The school? Why there?" Clint turned to Natasha with a frown.
"We need to go now! Thank you so much Jarvis! You are a life saver!" Natasha spoke up.
"That's quite alright Miss Natasha."
And with that Natasha and Clint were off in a race against time towards the school.
After walking through long dark hallways, Loki finally led the kid-avengers into one of the science labs. Tony stopped briefly at the doorway still a bit uncomfortable, but eventually made his way in as Loki sent him a look from where he held the door open for the teen.
"Here we are young ones." Loki said in a soft, sweet tone. The group of de-aged avengers watched as the tall man closed the classroom's door, and switched the lock. Tony frowned, crossed his arms protectively against his chest and sent Steve a confused look as he worried over the fact Loki had locked the door.
Frowning in confusion himself, Steve shrugged back at Tony in reply.
"Uh sir, I'm just wondering why you have locked the door? Is someone coming for us?" Steve asked politely.
"Oh young Steven, I have locked the door so that nobody can delay the process." Loki replied as though Steve should have known the answer.
"Delay you returning us to our normal time?" Steve questioned again.
"No, delay the process on me killing you." Loki replied and sent a blast of green towards Steve, thankfully the blonde moved out of the way quick enough to not be hit.
As quick as they could the children all ran from the dangerous man they were trapped with.
Tony skid across the top of one of the benches, sending test tubes flying and crashing down. Once he was hidden on the ground he curled into himself hiding from Loki.
Steve, after dodging the blast from Loki was now on the ground as well, hidden for the moment.
Bruce had disappeared to hide as well, ending up at the back of the classroom and crawling into the safety of a cupboard.
But Thor was in too much surprise to move as he stared at the man he called his brother, "brother Loki what are you doing?! You spoke of returning us home!"
Loki snarled at the younger version of Thor and sent another blast, this time towards the tiny demi-god's way. It would've hit Thor if Steve hadn't have pulled the younger blonde out of harm's way. They now also were both hiding behind one of the benches.
"You think these puny benches will shield you from my magical ways. Ha! Fools." Loki grinned evilly.
"No, but this might distract you!" Tony suddenly yelled sending a bottle of some sort of liquid he had just then created with the chemicals he had found surrounding him, Loki's way. The villain caught the bottle and after a look of confusion the man was just about to laugh when the bottle exploded and sent him flying back.
"Quick everyone up! WE NEED TO GO NOW!" Tony shouted in a panic.
Steve ran with Thor at his hand to the door and unlocked it before running out, while Tony collected Bruce from where he was hiding and carried him as he ran out the room himself.
Growling, Loki rose from the smoke of the explosion and stalked after them with a glare of absolute hatred.
