AN: I know it's been awhile since I update but school has been busy. I have finals coming up so I probably won't be able to update again until I'm done with 'em. I dunno if I'll be able to update my Loki story, for those of you reading that, but we'll see. I think that's it. Thanks to all the favorites/follows/reviews. :) I hope you like.

I own nothing.

Chapter Eleven:

It was only six thirty in the morning. That didn't matter to Tony and Clint. They were fully prepared to take advantage of their newly acquired youth. The two had ended up sprawled out on the floor and when neither of them could fall asleep, they had planned quite the eventful day. Loki, in for anything mischievous, joined in on the plan. So, while Coulson was lightly snoring away, Tony snuck over to the end-table beside Coulson's bed. In a matter of seconds, he had shut it off.

When Tony crawled back to his fellow cohorts, Loki looked at him with wide eyes. "How did you disarm that machine so quickly?"

"Dude, I just hit the off button." Tony snickered.

Loki rolled his eyes but bit back a retort. "Are we going to wake the others?"

Clint nodded. In the weak morning light, his eyes had a glint nearly as mischievous as Loki's. "Me and Tony'll wake up the rest of the guys. You wake up the girls and meet us down at the water park. And don't wake Pepper."

Tony was already inching over to where Steve was laying on the edge of the bed he was sharing with Thor. Steve was curled in a tiny ball, avoiding Thor's huge arms that flailed around as he rolled over.

Loki was just about to vanish into the attached room when Clint hissed back at him. "Lokster."

"Don't call me that," Loki grit his teeth.

"Whatever. Wake Waverly up first. Natasha might kill you."

Loki shook his head. "Thanks for the advice."

"I'm serious." Clint stressed. "She'll kill you."


A few minutes later, Loki rejoined his fellow conspirators with Natasha and Waverly at the entrance to the water park. Both girls looked disgruntled, their hair still disheveled from sleep. Bruce didn't look very happy either and Thor was yawning so widely, it looked like he could swallow a basketball.

Waverly glared at her brother. "You all woke us up to stand looking at a closed water park? The place doesn't open up 'til ten."

Clint shrugged. "Tony's idea. I just went along with it cuz it sounded fun."

"And what," Steve sighed, "Pray tell, is your idea, Stark?"

Tony chuckled. "Rogers, you talk like you're a seventy year old man. Oh wait, because you are."

Steve would have punched Tony, but he knew that would only cause Tony to retaliate and in Steve's current state, he was no match for the arrogant billionaire.

"Any-whos-its," Tony continued. "I figured, hey were teenagers again. Might as well take advantage of it. I'm sure I can break us in and turn on all the rides. We'll have the place to ourselves. Awesome, huh?"

Natasha raised an eyebrow. "You know this is like… illegal. And we're supposed to be the good guys. I mean, except for Loki."

Clint jumped in to defend Tony. "You do realize you're an ex-Russian spy. Who are you to tell us what's right and wrong."

Once again, Clint had a bloody nose. Natasha's attack was so swift, no one could tell she had actually punched Clint if it wasn't for the steady stream of blood coming from the archer's nose. Clint pulled his sleeve over his hand and held it up to his nose.

"Any-whos-its," Waverly said, mocking Tony, "We don't even have swimsuits. So you're plan's not thought out to well."

Loki stepped forward, dangling a set of keys from his fingers. "Not all of my magic is gone. Swiped these from one of the incompetent mortals that works here. Idiot didn't even see me."

"And what are keys going to do for us?" Bruce said.

Loki jerked his head backward. Turning to where he had indicated, the others saw the hotel gift shop. "I believe they have what you call swimsuits." Loki said smugly.

Tony smiled. "Ya know, Lokster. You're not all that bad."

"Please stop calling me that. I'll snap your neck."


Loki led everyone into the gift shop. After Tony and Steve had an argument about stealing the hotel's merchandise, Tony finally conceded to leave a note at the register, indicating that should any merchandise come up missing, the hotel should feel free to charge Stark Industries. So now, everyone was picking out a swimsuit that would fit their new adolescent bodies. The boys all had trunks within approximately five seconds. Waverly and Natasha were being a little pickier.

Waverly held up a blue bikini and showed Natasha. "I like it, but I'm afraid it'll show too much of my belly fat."

"Oh, you are not fat." Natasha said. She held up a black one-piece with slits up and down the sides. "How 'bout this for me?"

Clint, careful to be out of Natasha's punching rage, strode over holding up a skimpy pink bikini with sequins. "How about this, Tasha?" Clint winked and gave her a cocky smile.

Natasha looked more than furious. "You're a pervert."

After each girl went and tried on three suits each, the females of the group had finally decided. They rejoined the boys and headed to the still deserted water park. Natasha had finally decided on a black tankini with red accents. Waverly had also picked out a two piece; a shiny green thing that she no doubt was hoping would attract Loki's eye.

At the doors to the water park, Tony fiddled around with the small, electronic box that kept the doors locked. He rerouted some wires, pressed a few buttons, and with an affirming buzz, the doors slid open. Tony ginned at the others and took a mock bow. "That my friends, is genius at work."

"That is arrogance." Steve brushed past Tony into the water park.

It took the group a few minutes to find the master control room that powered the entire park. It took far less time for Tony and Bruce to hack into the various computerized machines. Within seconds, the rush of water could be heard as it flowed down water slides. With nearly crazed cheers, Clint and Tony ran across the park and jumped into the wave pool. The rest of the group followed. It was actually fun, having the park to themselves. Sure, they were breaking maybe thirty hotel rules, probably some state laws as well, but they were the Avengers. They deserved to have some fun time. Hadn't they saved the world after all? Steve brought this up, no doubt to put his guilty mind at ease.

"Excellent point, Rogers." Tony said, climbing onto Thor's shoulders for a game of chicken.

"But then why is Loki here?" Bruce asked. He was struggling to keep Steve aloft on his shoulders.

At the other end of the pool, Loki snorted. "If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't even be here now, Banner."

Clint ran by, running from Natasha who had her arms covering her chest. Apparently, Clint had snuck up behind her and tugged on the strings of her swimsuit top. "I'm going to kill you, Barton!"

Over her angry screams, Clint called to Loki. "Dude, I'm starting to regret being a teenager again."

From where she clung onto Loki's back, Waverly rolled her eyes. "Clint if you weren't such a creep there wouldn't be a problem."

A scream on the other side of the pool broke up the conversation. Tony was clinging to Thor's shoulders, laughing his head off. Beside them, Bruce and Steve had just come up from under water, spitting water from their mouths.

"Dude!" Steve yelled. "Since when is pinching my… you know… allowed in chicken."

Loki dropped Waverly in disgust and she let out a squeal as she fell into the water. Behind them, Natasha's face twisted. "You did what now, Stark?"

Tony, laughing even harder, dropped from Thor's shoulders. "It's not what you think," he managed. "I pinched Rogers' nipple. Jeeze, Steve. You can say nipple. It's not a swear word."

Steve blushed but dropped the subject.

Thor, always up for some competition, grabbed Stark under the arms and hoisted him back up onto his shoulders. "Who now shall challenge the Man of Iron and I to a match of this battle called chicken?"

Clint took a running leap back into the pool. "Oh dude, I will! Loki, be my partner."

"I most certainly will not." Loki crossed his arms and glared at the archer. "You so much as touch me –" His words were cut off by Clint grabbing him in a head lock and dragging him through the shallow end of the pool until they were across from Thor and Tony. Then, quite unceremoniously, Clint ducked under water, coming back up underneath Loki. Loki was quite displeased and the language that came out of his mouth was anything but appropriate. He did, though, steady himself on Clint's shoulders just so he could take Tony out and knock the arrogant genius down a peg.

While the boys were busy displaying their dominance, Natasha and Waverly headed over to the other end of the water park. There was a pool about three feet deep with various floating platforms scattered around the surface of the water, attached to the pool floor by chains. Above the platforms was a net. The point of this pool was to climb across the platforms without falling into the water. Natasha was eager to give the course a try. The teenage spy didn't even need to use the net. She leapt across the platforms gracefully. Waverly tried to follow, not so gracefully. She fell into the water with a loud splash and Natasha had to laugh.

Without the much more mature girls to supervise them, the boys had abandoned the pool and had broken into one of the snack bars. Clint stuck his head underneath the slush machine while Steve pressed the buttons. Thor was hanging into the ice cream freezer with a giant ice cream scoop. Tony was hording Mountain Dew. That left Bruce and Loki. Bruce was introducing Loki to the wonderfulness that was nachos.


Meanwhile, up in the adjoining hotel rooms, Pepper was just beginning to wake up. She stretched in her bed and sat up, eyes still closed. With a yawn, she rubbed the sleep from her eyes.

"Well, girls, let's get breakfast and get ready for check out." Pepper opened her eyes. She saw that the door connecting her room to Coulson's was ajar. She looked over at the bed next to hers. The girls weren't in bed. Pepper jumped from the bed, wrapped herself in a pink robe, and ran into Coulson's room. Sure enough, the only occupant was Coulson.

"Phil!" Pepper yelled. "Get up! They're gone!"

With a start, Agent Coulson jerked up in bed. He was instantly alert and he scanned the room. Pepper wasn't lying. There wasn't a single teenage Avenger present. Coulson sighed. "Great."
