"No no no! Replay it! Please replay it!" Drew cried as she bounced up and down with Natasha on the couch. They were watching 'A Funny Montage' by Pewdiepie, and had just got to the part where he screamed "I'M ON MY PERIOOOOOOOD!" Bruce walked in to find them lying on the floor in a mess of arms, legs and hair, unable to get up because they couldn't stop laughing.
"I'm not even going to ask." He sighed and advanced in reverse out of the room.
"AH!" Thor bellowed from somewhere down the corridor. "I SEE YOU ARE ATTEMPTING TO MOONWALK DOWN THE CORRIDOR, GREEN ONE! LET THE PROFFESIONAL SHOW YOU HOW IT IS DONE!" There was a rather loud sigh, and then:
"Get your pop tart crumbs off me." As the girls sat there and listened intently, they heard Bruce scream something a bit like "NOT WITH THE HAMMER!" And then there was a thud, and an "Oh. Whoops." Thor walked in and laid the limp body of Bruce on the couch, before snatching the laptop from the girls.
"Hey!"
"No fair!"
"Play nice!" He ignored their pleads and protests and clicked the YouTube search bar. Then he got his index finger and began to type – very, very slowly - about a letter every minute, laughing excitedly all the time. Steve and Clint walked in (well, Clint strolled, as he does) and immediately rushed over to Thor, pushing each other out of the way and complaining as they went.
"Dude! You told us you'd wait for us!"
"Come on, man, not cool! We had an agreement!"
"That's what they all say…" Thor replied in a voice that definitely was not his own. The girls, having finished trying to pull the laptop away from Thor, sat back exhausted and decided that it was more fun to watch this situation unfold than watch the Pewdiepie video – to be fair, they'd already seen it like three times. (Three meaning thirty.) They sat round the back of the couch, craning their necks to see what the trio were so excited to watch. YouTubers react to Japanese Commercials – Fine Bros. Typical. Natasha only watched up until she saw SkyDoesMinecraft, before she collapsed into Drew and dreamily stated,
"He's so hot…" Clint gave her an annoyed look. The Warrior staggered over to another couch, still supporting Natasha (who was now entering a catatonic state) but she didn't make it, and instead fell down halfway. She never bothered getting up, lazily making the decision that the floor was far more comfortable than any couch in this tower. There were occasional giggles and bouts of laughter from the three boys, who all stared transfixed like zombies into the computer screen with unavoidable grins plastered onto their faces.
"GUYS! CHECK THIS!" Tony suddenly ran in from the lab practically radiating excitement, holding up his own laptop. He stopped, looking at Bruce on the couch and the trio watching FineBros.
"Where are the girls?" An arm rose, slowly, from the floor.
"RIGHT! ANYWAYS! I HAVE BEEN DOING SOME RESEARCH-" Drew sat up from the floor and raised an eyebrow, cocking her head slightly. Tony never did research.
"ON LOKI-" That explained it.
"AND I DISCOVERED THIS!" He turned the laptop screen round, and the other Avengers crowded round it. Tony had even stopped Tasha daydreaming and ripped the trio out of their trance. Impressive. On the screen was a bunch of writing. Drew read it out loud.
"The first 3 you've cited were sired upon a giantess named Angerboða. Váli (or Áli) and Narfi were Loki's sons by his wife Sigyn, who was a giant goddess of Ásgarð. Sleipnir's birth is a bit strange since Loki was his *mother*! Loki transformed himself into a mare (female horse) in order to distract a stallion named Svaðilfari, which belonged to a certain giant. The stallion impregnated Loki, and the eight-legged Sleipnir was the result.
There is an even weirder reference to Loki doing something similar in the poem Lokasenna, a lot of which is taken up Loki hurling insults at his fellow gods. At one point during the exchanges, Óðinn accuses Loki of spending eight years in the form of a woman on earth serving as a milkmaid to a troll or giant to whom he, in his female form, bore children. We are not given the number, gender or names of these offspring, but if Óðinn's accusation is true then Loki had *more* than [the aforementioned] six kids." At the bottom of the text was a picture of Loki… pregnant. There was silence in the tower… before the girls sputtered into laughter.
"L-Lo-Loki was p-p-pregnant?!" Tasha managed to gasp out. By this time, Clint and Cap were laughing too, and Tony had a grin the size of three galaxies plastered onto his face.
"Thor… is this true?" He inquired.
"Aye. I remember it well… his belly was bigger than what humans like to call a 'beach ball…" there was a flash and Loki himself appeared, possibly about to challenge the Avengers to another war. What he expected was to see seven civilized people standing in front of him, ready for battle. What he found, however, was one unconscious person, two people supporting themselves by leaning on the doorway, one other practically crying with laughter on the sofa and a heap of red, white and black on the floor. Thor kind of just stood there.
"AH! HELLO BROTHER! HOW DO YOU FARE TODAY?" He bellowed.
"Wha-what is going on?" Loki spluttered. He then saw the picture of himself, pregnant, on Tony's computer and turned a deep shade of crimson.
"Outrageous!" He raged and disappeared in another flash of green.
"Wonder what caused him to leave so fast? It's a shame he didn't stop for a coffee…" Drew croaked out.
