I'm not going to say much here because I want to get right into it so enjoy!

Thank you all who reviewed and answered my question! :) and sorry for the guests, but trust me when I say I like reading the reviews and seeing what people have to say! :)


"Tony stop grumbling, its unbecoming of you." Bruce chided.

"You can't tell me you're happy about this situation Bruce. I mean come on, just last year we were fighting against Loki and now he's fucking living with us!"

"I didn't say I was happy with it, but as of now this is our best option. Natasha and Clint haven't been able to find anything about our mystery intruder the other day, we have absolutely nothing. Loki is our best option at keeping Peter safe, isn't that what you want?"

"No.. I mean yes! Ugh! I just don't like the fact that Loki is living in the same building as us. I was perfectly okay with never having to see him again after the battle of New York."

"Admit it, you're just pissed that he destroyed your tower."

"Hey! It isn't cheap you know!"

Bruce just rolled his eyes and resumed reading the paper.

"Yeah, yeah just read your paper. When shit hits the fan I'm so saying I told you so."

"I have no doubt about that." Bruce said, never taking his eyes off the particular article he was reading.

Bruce heard Tony huff and stomp over to the elevator. Bruce marvelled at how much Tony acted like a child sometimes, but of course he's Tony Stark so he can get away with it. Tonys probably the only who can now that Bruce truly thinks about it. He chuckled to himself when he thought of Bill Gates acting like a child.


Clint was secretly impressed with the skills Peter already had, it was almost as if the kid could anticipate his next move. He went in for a blow to Peter's legs when he was sure the kid wouldn't anticipate it when the fucker jumped and almost landed a punch on him. He was not going to be outsmarted by an untrained teenager. He could hear Natasha's silent laughter from here.

"I thought you said this would be over in no time?" Peter smirked, knowing that he was irritating the spy.

"I figured I wouldn't embarrass you too much so I'm going easy on you."

"Oh, of course." Peter said sarcastically.

Clint narrowed his eyes, the kid was clearly mocking him. When he saw Peter turn to smirk over at Natasha he took his chance. He landed a vicious punch to the kids gut that made Peter curl in from surprise. Clint wasted no time and grabbed Peter's arm twisting him around so he was in a choke hold.

Peter decided to let Clint have his dignity. He could've easily escaped to hold, but he since he took up being Spider-Man again he was going to have to keep his powers on the down low.

"You were doing fine until you lost focus to gloat." Clint chuckled.

"I figured you could use a break so…" Peter smiled sweetly at him.

"Har har kid."

"I'm sure Clint noticed, but you have good reflexes and you seem to have some knowledge or hand to hand combat. We'll properly teach you the correct moves and you'll be good in no time." Natasha commented as she walked over to the guys.

"Would you guys mind if I go call my Aunt? I... uh... miss hearing her voice." Peter blushed at how girly that sounded.

Natasha smiled at how adorable Peter was and nodded at him. Once Peter was out of earshot she turned to Clint with raised eyebrows.

"Don't give me that look. I swear, it was as if he knew my moves were coming and somehow got out of the way just in time."

"I noticed that as well. It was quite scary how he was always able to get out of the way at the last possible second." Natasha's brows furrowed, there was something going on here.


Loki smirked while he was sitting on his new bed. He loved the fact that he was pissing Tony off just be being here.

He will admit that seeing the uncanny resemblance between Tony and Peter really through him for a loop. No wondering why an enemy thought Peter was Tony's long lost son.

To be honest Loki already put a protection spell around the tower after he saw Peter, the look in the kids eye really broke his heart. He wasn't going to tell the rest of them though, he truly wanted to get to know Peter and he wanted to hang around to piss off Tony.

He jarred from his thinking when there was a knock at his door.

"Come in!" If you dare…

He saw the tuffle of hair before the rest of him and knew it was Peter.

"I… uh… I just wanted to come in and say hi. We never got properly introduced." Peter's voice grew steadier along the way.

"Don't just stand in the doorway, come sit down." Loki patted the spot next to him on the bed.

"I'm Loki or you can call me master." Loki smirked.

"Loki it is then. I'm Peter, Peter Parker."

"So Peter how did you get stuck with the Avengers? I didn't think they took in strays off the street."

"Are you implying that I was homeless?" Peter asked, confused.

"Oh sorry are you not? Why else would they take someone in?" Loki genuinely didn't meant to offend the kid, but now he was even more curious as to why he was in the care of the Avengers.

"Well… uh… er… I uh... was caught doing something that they didn't want me to do and so they brought me in." Peter tried to avoid telling exactly what happened.

"Elaborate."

"Do we have to talk about this?" Peter asked, casting his eyes downward.

Dammit he didn't want to push the kid, but his curiosity level was too high. He'll just have to ask someone else…

"I'm sorry for making you uncomfortable and sad." Loki apologized.

"No its fine. I'd just rather not talk about that." Peter pulled his sleeves down over his hands unconsciously.

"You can tell me when you feel comfortable. I know that I said you had to gain my trust, but gaining trust is a two way process. I will try and gain yours."

Peter smiled a bit and said goodbye as he made his way back to his room.

Loki let himself smile, he actually liked the kid.
