Thor hefted the huge flour sacks onto his shoulders. He could've taken all four of the sacks in at once, two on each shoulder, but the smallest members of his temporary family wanted to help bring them in as well. Thor chuckled at Clint and Natasha wobbling under the weight of the sacks. "You both will grow strong if you continue at this pace." Thor encouraged. Clint and Natasha both grinned at the compliment. The tall boy was well-known for his 1000 watt smile and booming laughter. He got along well enough with everyone, everyone that is, but Tony. Thor stacked the flour sacks on the kitchen shelves, relieving both of the children of their burdens just as Tony arrived. "Goldilocks, you're needed on the roof. They need some brawn up there. I'm already supplying the brain." Thor rolled his eyes at the moniker the cocky genius employed, but followed him to the stairwell at the back of their home. "What are we needed for on the roof?" Thor asked. Tony shrugged before pushing the door open. Both boys blinked rapidly at the incredible sunlight that pounded the flat roof before they noticed that they were alone. "What the hell?" Tony said before turning quickly on his heel. The loud click of a lock made both boys rush to the door, testing the knob and pounding angrily at it. One half-broken voice and the higher laugh of a kid found its way under the door. "Loki." They yelled simultaneously. "He must've gotten Natasha in on this. She was the one that told me to go to the roof." Tony fumed. He gritted his teeth, but couldn't help but be impressed by the little monster. Loki would have known that Tony would never trust him without confirming the order from Nick and Maria in the flesh. He did trust Natasha enough to believe her without pause. "I'm gonna kick your punk brother's ass." He added before kicking angrily at the thick door. Thor grabbed Tony by his shirt collar and shoved him against the door. "You will do nothing of the sort. He didn't hurt you, and he is my brother. If you go after him you're going to have to go through me." Thor said. He pushed on Tony's chest for emphasis before letting the older boy go. Tony, though shaken, didn't show it. He laughed, rubbed his chest and faced Thor. "Calm down Fabio. I'm not gonna hurt your brother. Let's just get off this goddamn roof before I catch whatever brain disease makes you like that little shit." Thor thought seriously about taking the comment seriously, but decided against it. He wanted just as badly to get off the roof, and Tony wasn't a terrible choice for help.
It had been over an hour since they'd been stuck on the roof. The first half hour had been hectic and full of swearing and insults as they tried in vain to unlock the door. Everyone they yelled to in the street just waved back at them and went on their merry way. "I swear when I get in there I'm gonna go to the sink and drink for the next hour." Tony panted dramatically before sliding down the door to the ground. Thor almost sat down beside him before he saw it. A thick chunk of metal loose from the edging of the roof. He ran to it, almost gleeful and yanked it loose. Tony rolled his eyes. "You're dumber than you look if you think you're going to get that door open with that." Thor just shrugged and yanked Tony out from in front of the door before carefully working the metal in between the door and its frame.
Minutes passed. He worked under the hot sun while Tony complained and continued to try and get passersby to enter the diner and save them. "Seriously. You just look pathetic." Tony blurted just a half second before Thor stood in an open doorway. A huge grin spread across his face. "What was that. Maybe I should be telling stories of Iron Men, and not you." Tony's rolled his eyes before smacking Thor on his arms. "You know you're not so bad at all, Goldilocks." Thor shook his head before pushing Tony into the house and shouting, "Loki Odinson you are gonna get it." Tony nodded and ran to find Natasha. Neither of the hellions would ever hear the end of that.
