Loki crept towards the climbing frame with Loftus in tow, crouching low so as not to pick up any unwanted attention. Once they'd reached the frame, Loki hissed.
"Tony, Pepper." He saw the two children jump as spoke, two pairs of eyes appeared looking down at him, eyes reflecting the distant street light.
"Loki?" Tony said incredulously.
"Hello." Loki grinned, as he saw Tony's face split into a wide smile.
"What're you doing here?"
"We came for you and Pepper." Loki said, turning around to look at Loftus. Tony's and Pepper's eyes narrowed as they lay eyes on him. "It's okay, you can trust him." Tony raised an eyebrow.
"Why don't I know what side you're on?" Tony asked seriously. Loki frowned.
"We're on your side."
"Why though? You said that The Avengers hated me, they're actually really nice, especially Clint, he's awesome, but then you're being nice and I'm really confused." Tony said, searching his brain for his own answer before Loki gave it. He remained silent as Loki didn't reply.
"Am I the only one whose really confused?" Pepper said, speaking up. "Loki, what are you playing at? Why can't you just turn us back into adults?". Loftus raised an eyebrow as he turned towards Loki, who shrugged.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean we know we were adults. We're not stupid." Pepper said defiantly, casting a severe look at Loki that made Tony quake.
"I know you're not. We're going to get you out of this." Loki. Reassured her. Pepper wasn't believing any of it however.
"And what will you gain from that? I may not have been on the Helicarrier, or in New York, but I know for a fact you threw my boyfriend out of a window." Loki saw Tony's cheeks grow slightly red. They may really be adults, but they still displayed all the characteristics of children.
"I know what throwing Tony out of the window wasn't exactly a good move, and I'm sorry for that, but I am generally trying to help you." Tony and Pepper glanced at each other, and Tony spoke, cutting Pepper off.
"We'll come with you. I want to know why Steve is being like he is. But that's all. The second something happens we don't agree on, we're leaving." Tony said.
"Fine." Loki agreed, before he helped pull them down from the climbing frame where they were still perched.
As they walked from the park, Tony and Pepper fell behind. Pepper nudged Tony.
"Tony, what are we doing?"
"I was going to ask you the same thing."


"Steve! What the hell did you do?"
"I- I don't-"
"God sake Steve! You've been acting like a right prick lately! What with being a complete douche bag to Tony, and God knows what else!"
Steve looked on, stunned as the two master assassins, the Demi-god, and the scientist ranted at him.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Steve said, raising his arms in a gesture of surrender, Clint and Natasha just growled at him.
"You scared the living day lights out of Tony, Steve. Demanding that you were his new father. I'd be pretty shaken up if you started yelling at me." Bruce said, watching the Captains face as confusion remained its main feature.
"I would never... Ever..."
"Well you did, Steve. You did. And now, Pepper and Tony have gone missing again."
Steve blinked hard, searching for the answer. But he couldn't find one. He couldn't remember anything.
"Don't you think we should be busy trying to find them then? Instead of standing here like a bunch of wet lettuces?" Steve shot back at Bruce, who pushed his glasses back up his nose.
"One step ahead of you." Bruce said, tapping on the top of the laptop sitting next to him. Steve nodded, before skulking off towards the security room.
Once inside, he looked carefully around, searching for random dates and numbers. Eyes resting on a particular date, he shoved it in the disc slot, watching in if horror.

im really sorry that these last few chapters have been rubbish. I really am. Sorry. The next few will be better (I hope).
