Tony rolled over and kissed Loki softly. "Are you ready Bambi?" he asked. Loki nodded and stood up. Together they walked downstairs.
After Wanda stopped her magical attack, everything had calmed right down. Loki and Tony had had the other avengers arrested, and they were all still awaiting trial, no doubt going to get a variety of sentences.
Tony was just glad the pain was over. Tony was glad he and Loki could begin to heal together. Tony was glad that he could finally bring some resemblance of normality back into the shape-shifters life. Together, they had begun to heal. And now was the day when Tony and Loki would meet their new team, the new avengers.
These last few weeks had been idly spent. Tony and Loki had done little, they had spent days on end hanging around the tower, watching Harry Potter and Star Wars, eating pop corn and crisps. They had become teenagers over lock-down. They cared not for the fast paced life that sped by. But today, all that would change.
Tony looked around the living room with an element of curiosity. He made sure to not allow the others to see his curiosity, instead gazing around at the group before him. "I'm Tony. Tony Stark. Also known as Iron man. I'm the leader. And this is Loki." he said, nudging Loki.
"I'm Scarlet witch." Wanda says, and the others chime in with introductions.
"I'm wolverine."
"Black Panther. Pleasure to meet you."
"Spiderman."
"Ant-man."
"I'm not one of you, I'm just Peter's girlfriend. You can call me Mary-Jane, or MJ. I wouldn't be here except Peter needed a baby sitter."
Tony smirked as Peter face palmed. He could practically feel Loki cringing next to him. The atmosphere was far from easy, the tension in the room fault overwhelming.
"Ah, Peter, my sympathies. Sometimes I fear Loki thinks I need a babysitter. he's probably right, to be honest. I only fear what will happen when he grows bored of me like everyone else. Everyone seems to stick me on a pedestal, and at some point, the pedestal crashes down and they see that I'm a dick. One day, I know he won't want to be my baby sitter."
"That day will never come, I can assure you." Loki says, flushing deep red.
"Yeah. We all know your reputation. Perhaps this time you'll manage to keep with him. Perhaps your love is written in the stars." Wolverine says, heavy sarcasm marring his voice.
"No one can rewrite the stars." Mary-Jane says softly.
It was much later when they were finally alone, that Loki shocked Tony.
"Will you marry me?" Loki asks. His hand is on his stomach, and he is kneeling down.
"Really? You want this? Are you sure?" Tony asked, shocked.
"Of course I'm sure. I want you to be my eternity. I love you, and I want to prove that to you. You will always be on my pedestal. I will always love you." Loki says, standing up, letting out a slight moan. Tony feels slightly guilty, he should not have let his pregnant partner kneel down.
"Yes. I will marry you." Tony says, standing up. He pulls Loki into a hug.
"And Tony, I looked through the baby name book. How about Alex?" Loki asks.
"I like Alex. Its certainly better than Fenrir." Tony says smiling.
Tony raised a glass of water into the air. "To Alex. To marriage. To love, and devotion. To a healthy and happy relationship. To freedom and joy."
