A/N – I don't know how this idea came into my mind. But just as I was about to go to bed, the thought of grandmothers filled my head. (no I did not mean for that to rhyme) and so I wrote it down quickly and the next morning this story churned out. If any of you have those doting grandmothers, you'll know what I mean.

Chapter 19: Project Grandmother

Mission name: Project Grandmother

Mission details: threaten Loki with the godly power of grandmothers…

Plan suggested by: Steve

Steve remembered his one visit to an old folks home. It had begun very sweetly with introductions and then progressed to nice food around a table. But then the night had ended with fireside stories…and then the horror revealed itself…

So Steve thought if anything, Loki should be subjected to the same treatment.

And that was the next plan.

Loki came out of his room to find a room full of elderly women. He took two steps back. This was not what he expected first thing in the morning. For a moment, he thought about a tactical retreat. Even skipping breakfast might be worth it.

But then Steve suddenly appeared behind him. He gave Loki an uncharacteristically wicked grin and said "Ready to tell us who your girlfriend is?"

Loki scoffed. "Of course not."

"Then," Steve shrugged. "Come meet my friends."

He propelled the unwilling Loki forwards into the living room. Their entry caught the attention of the women closest to the door. She stood up and gasped happily when she saw Loki.

"Oh Steve." She smiled. "Loki is as adorable as you told us."

Loki gagged. Adorable? Him, Loki? The Norse God of Mischief who should inspire terror with his very presence was being called CUTE?

Steve pushed Loki down into the chair next to the old woman who spoke. Immediately she latched her hands onto his arm and cooed. "So Loki, tell me about yourself."

"Uhh…" Loki stammered. "My name is Loki Layfeyson and I am burdened with glorious purpose."

"Burdened!" gasped the women collectively. "You poor soul."

They crowded around his even more, making Loki sweat figuratively and stiffen. Steve snickered and slid out of the room whilst their attention were occupied, leaving Loki to a fate worse than death.

Because right there and then, the women continued patting his arm and back whilst sniffling about his terrible fate. And then they chatted about how adorable he was and that he should think about his future more carefully.

"Do you have a woman in your life Loki?" one lady called Emilia asked.

"Uhhhh…that's a little…complicated." Loki muttered, knowing Stark had probably laid listening devices across the whole room.

"Oh no!" the women gasped again. "You poor thing. You poor misguided child. We must talk more about you." The said, nodding sagely and then patting him even more.

"No…" Loki started, struggling to get away. But the grandmothers had a grip like iron. They wouldn't let him go. And then the worst part started.

Because Emilia leaned in as if to pat his cheek (which had already happened several times), but this time…began to pinch his cheeks!

Inside his head, Loki started screaming. Because the other grandmothers starting pinching as well.

That night, Loki went to bed with VERY sore and VERY stretched cheeks. He vowed to never go within five miles of a grandmother again.

It was too dangerous to risk.

A/N – Sorry Loki. This idea was too good to not write. ^^ Teehee
