When in doubt, Pikachu was always the answer.

Tony headed straight to the room that contained his Iron Man armour with Kagome in his arms. He smirked, thinking that he had the better on the Soldier and the two Norse Gods for the kid's favour.

"Papa, before we go get Pika-chan, can Kagome see Daddy Steve's shield?"

Damn the kid for being so lovable and damn Steve for being so... Steve.

"If we don't go now, then Pikachu might not be there anymore," Tony said, ruffling her hair when a horrified expression exploded onto her cute face, "Only Iron Man can take you there fast enough." He whispered into her ear and the horror turned into determination.

"Kagome needs to see Iron Man now!" She said loudly and Tony continued on his way to his special room, "Iron Man's gotta take Kagome to get Pika-chan, or Kagome won't like Iron Man anymore!"

Tony swallowed, suddenly feeling a bit of pressure that he hadn't felt before, 'Damn kids' store better have a Pikachu there.' He thought, turning the corner quickly while ignoring the calls from Steve and Thor.

What worried him more was that Loki was not with them...

"What the hell?!" Tony barely managed to keep his balance as he roughly bumped into someone as he finally turned the corner, though making sure he kept his grip tight on Kagome so she didn't fall and hurt herself.

"Shouldn't I be asking that?" A dry voice spoke and Tony knew that it was his fellow scientist/so-totally-best-friend/brother-from-another-mother who he had bumped into, "What's the rush, Stark?"

"Gotta go buy a Pikachu," Tony said casually and Bruce raised a brow, but didn't ask beyond that because he had learned long ago that Tony's behaviour was one of a kind and really shouldn't be questioned, "And gotta do it as Iron Man."

"Who's that big green man, Papa?"

The curious voice had the two geniuses snapping their heads down to the source and Bruce noticed the child wrapped in Tony's arms for the first time, "He's really big! And green!" Kagome pointed excitedly, gesturing the space immediately behind Bruce.

The two adults looked, yet nothing was there.

"What.. are you talking about, Kagome?" Tony asked carefully, squinting his eyes to see if he could see what Kagome was seeing, but nothing was there but air.

Bruce stared intently at the squirming child, a bit speechless and he was unsure if he had heard her correctly.

"Right there!" Kagome pouted, a bit put off that her Papa couldn't see him, but she was used to it because her Mama couldn't see all those people with tails and ears back in Japan, "Really big and really green!" She stared in amazement, suddenly wanting to ride on the green man's gigantic shoulders.

Steve and Thor caught up, but Tony didn't even notice because he was too busy staring at his kid with a gaped mouth.

"Kagome... are you saying that you can see the Hulk?!"
