A Thanksgiving to everyone who has commented, followed or just read!
What's going to be happening here is a thank you to all you amazing readers who have enjoyed my fanfic! (There is a special Chapter after all the sappy stuff BTW!) I hope all of you see your comment or follow on this chapter. I shall be starting with the comments. First of all the guests!
Guest comments
Chapter 3: I love this! Please continue!
Thanks for leaving this comment! Hopefully you keep on loving it! (Not sponsored by McDonalds, but that would be really cool… Hit me up McD)
Chapter 3: This is a very interesting story, I can't wait to see what happens next!
I really did like the idea, it had just popped into my head while in the shower, because of course, and I just made a chapter. I didn't think anyone would read it in all honesty… But I'm so happy that you stayed to chapter 3, and maybe more, hope you've enjoyed what's happened so far!
Chapter 3: (It's blank so maybe an emoji was given? IDK)
I really hope it was a heart or a smile, but thanks for leaving something either way!
Chapter 3: Continue writing please
Your wish is my command!
Chapter 3: I'll be keeping an eye on this one. I'm curious to how Thor will react.
It was hard to come up with the reaction… weeks and weeks of trying to make it work and fit with the chapters (ahead of the reveal) I had already had planned. I'm really happy that I'm a fanfic your reading!
Chapter 4: How old would Loki be in this? (In human years)
I know I already answered this in the chapter 5, but I like to think he's eight or nine. Old enough to be not annoying, but young enough to imagine looking cute as a button!
Chapter 4: This is very interesting! Looking forward to more!
Thanks for saying that! I really do try for my commenters and followers, have you liked what's been written so far?
Chapter 5: Loved it. Looking forward to more. Loki is my favorite character still "alive" after Endgame. I was even hoping for a bigger role in Infinity War/Endgame to bring it full circle from the first Avenger movie and his knowledge of Thanos/the inifinity stones. Keep up the good work!
Loki is my absolute favorite character as well! I hated how he 'died' and really wanted to write something of him. Tony is my second favorite character… they actually make my favorite ship (IronFrost / Frostiron) so writing something with Kid Loki and Parent Tony was something that seemed fun to do. Don't worry I'm trying to make endgame and infinity come full circle, even if Marvel wont!
Chapter 5: "But then Thanos attacked" "Of course he did. Sounds like a shitty movie opening." LOL Love it!Keep up the good work!
It was the best thing I had ever written! It just popped into my head and sounded like Tony but also gave my opinion ;)
Chapter 7: Damn Tony was a real dick this chapter. What will happen next? Keep it up.
It was so hard to write chapter 7! I had to walk away from my computer a few times… I hated (and loved) writing Tony this way. I think what happened here will answer a few questions for what I wrote before. Wink wink nudge nudge. Somethings coming back!
On to the peoples names I can see!
D (Chapter 2): Interested to see what happens next
You still interested? I really hope you are! Thanks for being my first comment, your what made me write a third chapter!
Selina (Chapter 4): I am loving this Loki! And the Tony /Loki interaction.
Please continue. I hope to see Thor and his reaction. And what of Loki? Is he really a child?
A lot of people were anticipating Thor's reaction, I really hope it was good enough to have waited for! Thanks for loving this little Loki! I'm so happy you like the interaction between Tony and Loki. Is Loki a child? Is he? Yea he is. Or is he?
Phoenix86710 (Chapter 4): Love this story! I can't wait for Thor's reaction!
Another person really hyped for Thor! Happy that you love my story! I'll try not to disappoint! (ง'̀-'́)ง
Azaira (Chapter 1): Need to cut your paragraphs apart. Writing multiple people "speaking" in the same paragraph causes all sorts of problems.
Thank you for telling me this! I'm really trying to fix this issue of mine! I hope it looks better and works better as a whole!
MREZ (Chapter 5): I Can't wait to see Thor's reaction. Hopefully he'll take it well and won't fall into depression as bad as in Endgame.
More Thor hype! Really these comments were invigorating and kind of nerve racking! This comment did give me some inspiration, maybe make him get upset and bam! That chapter was born! Thanks MREZ :D
MREZ (Chapter 6): Lol I don't know why but I just imagined Thor and Tony having a custody battle for Loki. Good chapter btw.
Another comment! Thanks for still reading! I really love this idea, it made the depressing chapter more amusing when I saw this in my reviews, kind of cute really! Thanks for leaving your love!
.9 (Chapter 5): :-)
:D
.9 (Chapter 6): :-)
(:D
Fizzicks01 (Chapter 5): Please put this through a spell checker before you post it. I don't know how you could mispell recognize as reqenized or reqoinziable. Also, please learn the difference between your and you're. Would make it easier to read.
I know… my spelling is bad… Thanks for pointing it out to me! You really made me get my game face on for writing! My computer was telling me the "theirs" and "theres" were wrong so a few got mixed up on the different writing thing i was on (Apples Text… not so trustworthy) Thank you for the constructive criticism Fizzicks!
Zaylo267 (Chapter 7): Well, I was expecting he is going to blow up the place in saddness. Oof. Maybe Loki needs help from Pepper or Bruce? Poor Loki…
That's a good idea… *Delete chapter! Time to rewrite!* Naw JK, I had him teleport for a reason, some good stuff is coming in the next chapter! Look forward to it please!
Hanabatake (Chapter 6): What a little gem ! You may call yourself clueless reader but you sure are not a clueless writer ! I was so engaged in reading i couldn't stop to review every chapter even though I should've. You almost got me crying a couple of times, and the "the crappy movie opening" bit was my favourite line of the story.
Keep up the good work. Hope you updated soon !
I don't have favorites… But you really made my heart skip a beat when I read your comment! Thanks for this, I was starting to lose steam in writing but seeing your review made me want to keep writing! I shall keep updating (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧ (The shitty movie bit is also my favorite part, not gonna lie) Thank you for your support!
Sadly I can't show my appreciation to the people that follow my story… I really wish I could! But to everyone that follows me, please know that just by doing that, my confidence is raised up by 100! You all know who you are that follow my story, so I hope you can tell I am giving you my sincerest thank you for following and reading this!
I hope every single person that reads this knows I am so grateful to have each and every one of you! To the ones that comment and review, to the people that follow, all the way to seeing people just look at this fanfic… I really do enjoy doing this for all of you. If no one reads this I wouldn't have gone for a chapter 2, but just because of one comment and the first 10 readers, I had the motivation to continue.
It isn't a lie when people say comments are food to writers, for some weird reason they are! I hope you enjoy this special chapter. In honor of Thanksgiving, I give you a very Avengers Thanksgiving!
This is a very special chapter for everyone that has read, followed, or commented on my fanfic! This chapter has no relevance to the fanfic at all! If you don't want to read it, you don't have to. This is for Thanksgiving, and for me giving thanks for all the people who keep me writing! I love you guys for all your support and tips! Stay tuned for more chapters and love!

Special Chapter!
(What's going on, everyone alive, it's just a thanksgiving thing, and Loki is a kid. Plus new introduction of Kid Loki might I add)
Finally. Today was the day. Every single avenger was going to be brought together and have a nice relaxing time. No surprise. No issues. Tony wasn't going to lie. He was very excited. Everyone that moved around a lot was gonna be around at the same time. Obviously the party was held at his house. Well the avengers base. But he made it so it's his.
It had been a few months since he had seen everyone at the same time. Sure someone would try to take over the world or something and a few would get together and fight. But it's not a relaxing environment with everyone.
Tony and Pepper had been planning this day for months. Pep was very insistent on this. What was he gonna do? Say no? Not an option! Slowly but surely, Tony got into contact with everyone. Said whatever he had to and have whatever food available to make everyone show up.
The whole day before thanksgiving had been spent setting up everything. Getting the biggest TV set up in the main room. Setting up all the tables for the food to be displayed. Some was Peppers home cooking so having her work shown off was the least Tony could do.
His little girl Morgan helped make the Mac and cheese, well… really she stayed with Pep and watched her make it. Taste testing when Pepper asked her too. It was very cute to watch. Morgan really had his tastes he must say. She was happily wearing an orange shirt and blue jeans. Black converse covering her feet. Her hair was simply down. Pepper had wanted her to wear a headband with a red apple on it, but as far as he knew, that headband no longer existed once given to Morgan.
Pepper was wearing a white turtleneck, black leggings with some comfy gray toms. Her hair put back in her usual ponytail. Some light makeup, which he didn't really think she needed. Tony himself was in a nicer vintage Nirvana T-shirt, a pair of jeans with the black converse. Morgan really wanted to match. So jeans and converse it was for Tony.
Soon the preparations were done and all the Stark family had to do was wait. Which wasn't a boring task. Seeing as how he had a five year old, life couldn't be boring. They decided to watch some old school movies while waiting for people to show up.
Morgan really enjoyed A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving. Not to say he didn't either. Soon enough the first chime of the doorbell echoed out. Tony slide by Morgan and Pepper, letting them watch the Tv as he answered the door.
He wasn't surprised to see Rhodey at the door. He looked stylish. A nice jacket on with a light gray shirt. Dark pants to match the jacket and some black dress shoes. In his hands, a wrapped glass flat bowl. Whatever was in it smelled delicious. "It's some bacon cornbread if your wondering." Rhodes said, a sly grin on his face. Was the look on Tony's face that obvious? Most likely. "It's good to see you Rhodey," Tony said giving a side hug, making sure to avoid the hot plate.
James only laughed. "Why would I give up a chance to taste Peppers cooking?" It certainly was one reason most people were showing up.
He lead Rhodey to the large tables along the dining room walls. "You can put that down anywhere." Tony said showing the few plates already set around.
"Uncle Rhodes!" A high pitched squeal came.
"Hey there Morgan!" Rhodey smiled looking down at the bouncing girl.
"What do you have! It smells so good!" Morgan asked trying to reach for the glass plate.
"It's a surprise Maguna, gotta wait for everyone else to show up." Tony spoke up, lifting his kid up. She giggled happily.
Everyone did show up, or at least more people. The doorbell rang out again. Morgan quickly hopping from Tony's arms and running to the front door. Tony easily caught up with her. She reached up and opened the door, standing there were faces he was really happy to see.
"Wanda, Vision! Good to see you guys!" He greeted. Wanda in her signature color. A flowy red top with balck leggings. Vision in his human state, wearing the same old clothes. He easily saw a family of 5 walk up the driveway. "Your extra slow birdbrain!" He yelled a light smile on his face.
Ironically Clint gave him the bird. Only to be slapped away by his wife. "Thank you for hosting us Tony." Laura said holding the hand of her youngest son.
The group walked inside. The kids wearing an assortment of hoodies and T-shirts. Laura dressed a little nicer with a gray long sleeve shirt, black jeans and a jair of light gray boots on. Clint must have set the standard for his kids. A gray hoodie unzipped with a black T-shirt on. Jeans and a pair of not so expensive dress shoes. Clint dropped off some stuff to the table and walked into the living room. Morgan was excited to finally have another kid to hang out with it seemed. Nathaniel and her running off the the back yard. "Cooper! Lila! Go look after your brother, no arguing." Clint said as the two started to groan. The two of them following the little kids outside.
"Don't do anything your father wouldn't do!" Pepper yelled to Morgan. She only giggled.
"Hey! Offensive! Ture, but offensive!" Tony responded heading back to the front door as a loud knocking was heard. "Make yourselves comfy while everyone else gets here." He yelled to be heard.
A nice trio awaited him. "Cap, Brucey, Nat, Sam! me casa a su casa." Tony said in his best messed up spnaish accent. Natasha only rolled her eyes but had a soft smile on her face. She was wearing a leather jacket, a black shirt and black leggings. Inside the leather jacket had some red accents. Her boots reached her ankle, a glossy black with red stitches. The newer Falcon seemed to wear the same colors. A pair of black jeans and a balck jacket, not leather but still cool. A blood red shirt underneath. A pair of red and blakc nikes finishing the outfit. What did Nat and Sam color coordinate or something?
"Thanks for having us Tony." Bruce said stepping inside. He, for some reason, had on his lab coat. But wore a nice dress shirt and some light brown slacks. THe purple shirt accented well with it. Topped off with some dress shoes. He looked cozy, even with the more fancy clothes.
Steve had a nervous smile on his …
"What you hiding boy scout?"
Rogers shifted a bit where he was standing. "I kind of invited someone, if that's alright."
Of course. Only Steve would think inviting someone was bad. Sure, ask, but it's alright nonetheless. "The more the merrier." Tony answered as Natasha walked by him to the living room. "Who is it?"
His question was answered when he saw the gleaming silver of a fake arm, granted he only saw half of the lower arm but it was still easy to see in the sunlight. Steve and Bucky were wearing jeans. Steve a baby blue T-shirt on, while Buck wore a dark gray T-shirt. Steve for some reason just didn't feel the cold. Barns had a black jacket on. Both looked ready for a chill day but nice enough for standards.
"Steve why would I mind you inviting another person, come on in." Was all Tony said as he walked back into his house. The noise of the TV outmatched by the conversations and greetings going around the main room. Everyone happily jiggling and getting back into touch.
"Tony you should know, Thor is gonna be a little late but he is coming, and I heard he's bringing some people." Bruce told him as they stood by the wall. A beer in Tony's hands, A Dr. Pepper in Bruces. Heh get it. Dr. Pepper. He was too easily amused.
Tony nodded as the door rang out again, he easily slide to the front door.
Opening it, he smiled. Standing there was Peter parker himself, his friend Ned and Michelle. A long side his aunt. The teens were wearing jeans collectively. Michelle had black ones but the two boys only dark blue jeans. Ned had a star wars t- shirt. Why wasn't he surprised. Peter had on a dark rick and morty t-shirt. Michelle was wearing a dark blue tank top. A black jacket shielding her from the cold. All he saw were Vans on the boys. Michelle had some knee high balckboots. He had a feeling her and Natasha would get along.
Behind them a bit more people. Scott Lang, Cassandra and Hope. Scott wearing his name colors. Gray and red. His little girl wearing a dark green shirt with her hair down. the pair wearing some dark blue jeans. Hope was dressed a little like natasha but she was wearing yellow and her shoes were some black flats.
"All the bugs came together? You missed Natasha though!" Tony joked hugging Peter.
"If only I could get all spiders, ants, and wasps together! That would have made for one heck of an entrance don't you think?" Peter replied. Joking right back as his gal pal only rolled her eyes a bit. Ned and her talking as they walked in. Hope and May had some food with them, score! More food!
Cassandra spotting other kids, ran outside ready to play any game. "Don't do anything Scott would do." Hoope yelled after her. Scott had a face of astonishment… as did Tony. Pepper burst out laughing. Because it was so funny.
"No worries Pepper said the same thing to Morgan about me." Tony conferted, a grin on his face.
"How does that make me feel any better! They said the same thing!" Scott yelled, a laugh in his voice.
"Hey! Your right! Pepper!"
The room burst in laughter. Eventually dying back into the multiple conversations. Some about school, work, kids, family life. Others about missions and past fights. A few jokes about someone's punch or kick here and there. Another knock at the door and Tony was off.
A normal looking Dr. Strange awaited him. Wearing a stylish suit and polished dress shoes, he carried a pot of something. Once more, yes for food. "Whats up strange, welcome to the party." Tony greeted, shaking Stranges open hand. "Nice to see you Wang, happy you could make it too!" Tony said seeing the smaller man from the driveway. Taking something out, more containers of food it seemed.
"It's nice to see you as well Stark." Wang yelled walking up to the steps.
"Nice of you to through this party Stark." Strange said as he entered the house. The trio walked into the main room. Not before Strange and Wang dropped off the food to the tables. There were about five large glass tables along the walls and each table was nicely filling up for when dinner was to be eaten.
Someone had changed the TV, instead of some movies, music start pouring from the speakers. Setting a nice mood into the celebration. Some pop, some funk. The occasional country and rock. Overall nice to listen too. The all too familiar sound of a blast and rainbow light filled the house. Most occupants turning to see the windows. The children outside running inside to see as well.
Tony wandered to the door, opening it before the ever familiar blond could knock on it, and by that he means destroying it. Jane and two other people were with- no that's wrong. Three other people.
"Tony! It is a pleasure to see you again on such a festive day! Lady jane is occomining me if that is alright." Thor asked. Tony only nodded. Jane catching the hit introduced the other people.
"This is Darcy and Dr. Selvig. Oh! And this is Valkyrie" Jane said, Darcy waving while Selvig nodded. Valkyrie was looking down, smiling at something next to her.
Jane was wearing a light pink shirt and white pants, not scared of dropping food huh, and some velvet pink michael kors shoes. A small white bag strapped over her side. Darcy, the more punk of the group apparently was wearing a black guns and roses tank top. Black jeans and some balck boots. Selvig was wearing a simple green polo shirt. A pair of brown pants and some dress shoes.
Thor was in more modest asgardian itire. Dark brown shirt and a darker toned pants. Some leather brown boots with a red cape on one side of him. It was clipped on one shoulder, the rest of it fell just below his knee. Did that come off? He didn't know. The woman was wearing a mix of asgardian and human he thinks. A white leather jacket with blue interior covered a slimming gold and white shirt. White leather pants and some gold accented boots. For the both of them its very human and very asgardian.
"I brought my brother if that's alright as well! I would love for everyone to meet him Tony." Thor said as the humans of the group walked in.
"You mean Loki, tried to take over earth Loki?" Tony asked looking at the hight Thor is.
"Come on out Loki." Thor said usering someone out from behind him. Looks like something changed about him… Loki was a child. Clearly didn't know who anyone here was.
"Go one Loki." Valkyrie said pushing the young boy forward a little bit.
A kid, no more than eight or nine clunge to Thor's Leg. He was in a forest green vest, white shirt underneath. Forest green pants with black boots. His hair went a little past his shoulders. Some gold was intertwined in the green vest, making intercret patterns along it.
"Say hello Loki, we are Tony's guests for the day after all." Thor coxed.
The little boy peeked out, Tony finally seeing his striking eyes. Emerald green, but the pupils having a seafoam color around it. Making the child's eyes something he had never seen a human have before. Yep definitely an alien. He gave a small nod, looking Tony in the eye for a split second. The color of the boys eyes glistened in the sun, making them shine even more, even though for a second he knew the child could stand to have a little more self esteem.
So what Thor had told everyone before was true… he remembered Bruce and Thor talking about what happened to them off planet. Losing the crazy younger brother. Thor was heart broken. It seems the story of him coming back was right. It was weird but its not like no one at this party didn't know. He kind of thought Loki wouldn't be coming, but like he said before. The more the merrier.
"You've got some nice eyes Lokes." Tony complemented as he kneeled down to the child's level. He could see the woman behind the child look at him suspiciously but turned her gaze to Loki. A fond smile growing on her face. He turned his attention back to the little boy. Not even realizing that he had gone behind Thor again, but stayed within sight. A small blush on his face.
"Þakka þér fyrir…" Came the light voice. Green eyes once more meeting his.
Tony cocked his head. It was a different language, he knew it had to be asgardian. Hearing Thor curse in it a few times on the battlefield. But when Loki spoke it, it sounded softer. Not as rough when Thor speaks in it. It sounded more musical, gentle as well. Less like a war cry and more of a lullaby in a weird way.
"Go on Loki, you know the mortals don't understand Asgardian. I could have sworn you learned All-speak by now. With how good you are at magic and all, little brother." Thor tessed, to which Loki quickly looked at him. His whole face a bright pink. A green light running up Thor's leg when Loki let out a huff. It hit his arm, causing Thor to jump a bit, as though shocked. Ironic. Thor only laughed patting Loki's head.
"He says Thank you friend Stark. He's just a little shy. Once the day goes on, I'm sure everyone will hear him." Thor said as the quartet moved into the house. Tony watching out of the corner of his eye as Loki stayed close to Thor, but was looking around quite a bit. Must be a curious child.
"Hey guys look whos here! Big blond barbie!" Tony introduced. A few people laughing while the original Avengers, as Tony called them, gathered around Thor. Clint and Steve saying their hellos. Everyone else at the party coming around, meeting the Thor the group has heard of.
"Hey Blondie!"
"How are you Thor?"
"It's good to see you again."
All the pleasantries you could think to hear was being said. Tony happily watching the reunion and greetings. Valkyrie meeting all the other people at the party as well. It was about 5 o-clock and the sun made a nice light throughout the living room. The kids outside were playing something. He thinks hide and seek tag. Not a bad choice. It seems like Clints kids didn't care about watching the younger siblings anymore as they were trying to hide too. Tony smiled fondly as he saw his Morgan looking around for a hiding spot. All the adults were still listening to music and just messing around. Drinking and talking about. He could see Thor, Bucky and Valkyrie by the living room table, the two of them smiling with a few to many beers around. Clint, Sam, Wang, Scott, and Rhodey chanting around them.
"Chug Chug Chug!" The best chant at any party in Tony's party.
He was about to join the party but saw something small wondering to the kitchen. Who- Oh! That's right. What's the kid going over there for? He carefully slipped out of the room, hearing the commotion of the drinking contest, he walked into the kitchen. He looked around but didn't see the boy. Where the hell did he go? He just walked in here.
Tony walked around the bar, finally seeing the boy sitting on the floor under the bar. His knees pulled up to his chest. A brown leather book in his lap. The boy only focusing on the pages in front of him.
"Hey Loki," The boy jumped up, not noticing Tony walk up, hitting his head on the glass slab above him. He quickly crashed back down, one hand holding him up the other on his head.
"Hey hey! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to scare you…" Tony said with a grimace as he went to the freezer getting the ice out of it. He wrapped the ice in a small oven towel. Going back to the boy, he sat on the ground, passing the cold rag to the small child. Loki eyed him coursly, gingerly taking the rag. It must have been cold, Loki's fingers turned blue.
"Are you alright!?" Tony yelled taking the rag back quickly. The moment they the ice was gone, his fingers faded back to a pale white.
Tony stared in shock, wonder, and aww. Being shaken out of his head he heard a light laughter. It was the boy… he was laughing. At him. Great. "What's so funny? You were turning blue!"
He giggled a bit more before sliding his left sleeve up. Then moving his hand open toward the rag. Tony reluctantly handed him the rag. Loki took out a piece of ice and placed it on his exposed arm The boy closed his eyes and Tony watched as the blue came back. Slowly coating and flowing up his arm.
Tony's eyes widening as the blue went up to Loki's neck. Eventually covering his face. Going all the way back down to the other arm. His skin was an azure blue but there were markings on his skin. They were a lighter blue more lapis. Small delicate patterns were along his face and part of the lower arm and hands he could see. Tony was freaked out once more when Loki opened his eyes. Gone were the grand green eyes. Replaced with radiant red eyes. They looked like glowing rubys. Blood red rubies in place of Forest green Emeralds.
Loki laughed again. "I'm not like my brother… I'm different." The boy explained. Wait… he explained. He spoke!
"I can understand you!" Tony yelled with a big smile on his face. Loki giggled again. Nodding his head a bit.
"I can do magic, so I can cast All-speak on myself and not have to have others sustain it on me. So I can talk with others from other realms if I wanted too." Loki said. His voice had an accent to it. Not like Thors, more fancy? Was that the right word? He didn't know, but it was cool to hear.
"I'm a frost giant. Not really related to Thor by blood… but I was adopted by my mother and father. I can change my shape to look like an Asgardian." Loki said as he shifted back to his pale skin and green eyes.
"What do the markings mean on you, when your blue and all." Tony asked. He couldn't help it, he was curious about a new alien in his home.
"If my studies are correct, they are my harritiage lines. I way of seeing what family and what my bloodline is." Loki answered, although looked a little unsure himself.
"Loki guess who whooped your brothers butt!" A females voice echoed into the kitchen.
The boy quickly crawled from under the bar, running up to Valkyrie. Who only caught him holding him in a hug.
"Brunnhilde! You bet brother again?" Loki said with a smile on his face.
Valkyrie nodded. "Like I always do. Anyway It's time to head to the dining room. Lady Pepper said dinner is about to start young prince." Valkyrie said taking him by the hand leading him out of the room. Not before telling him where to go and staying behind. "I'm going to get another drink Loki, go on ahead of me."
"Brunnhilde huh?" Tony questioned getting up. Man he was old. But still cool so that's all that mattered.
"Your going to forget you heard that. Only Loki can call me that." She said narrowing her eyes venomously.
"Can I ask why?" Tony tried, not expecting an answer.
She seemed to think for a moment. Then a small smile formed on her face. Seemed to happen when thinking about the boy.
"Brunnhilde is my real name, I let him learn it when I found him crying once about being a jotun." She said leaning on the bar. Tony gave her a look of confusion. Only for her to sigh. "That blue form you saw him take, that is called a Jotun. Or frost giant. He's never been comfortable with showing his true form, even with being accepted into the house of Odin. But I saw him once."
It has been tough adjusting to earth when she had gotten used to Sakar. She fought the battle against Hela with the person who found her. Thor, Bruce, or Hulk in both cases, and Loki helped. They saved the sagardean refugees and brought them safely to earth. With a casualty sadly. The second prince. But it seemed he could escape death multiple times couldn't he. Or it was his destiny.
He had caused ragnarok like he was destined to do. And The Norms brought him back. She remembers seeing Thor's face when a child with black hair was brought back to the palace. Brunnhilde had found him wandering the streets of New asgard. He had belonged to no one, no one cleaning they had a son like him. Once Thor laid eyes on the boy however, he instantly knew it was the one who died saving everyone.
He seemed to think the late Queen Figga and the late King Odin were still around. It was hard to hear Thor explain what happened… and to hear the young boys crys. After a while he seemed to get better. Adjusting to his new given life. No lies were kept from him this time around as Thor told him everything about his past life. He was still Jotun and it still shook him seeing his true form. Like before it took awhile but the boy would get over it and accept it has apart of himself.
Or so she thought
It was a chilly spring day. The trees in bloom. Brunnhilde was training in the yard of the new palace. Until she heard something. It was soft And She knew she had heard it before. It was Loki. What was wrong now.
She wandered around, finding a large old blooming cherry. It large brown branches bending down, making a lovely little flower cave. Inside sat the small boy. Only he wasn't pale like he normally was. He was his azure blue form.
"If I was brought back, why did I have to be a Jotun again… Isn't that what caused so many problems the first time around…" Loki sniffled. Not realizing the woman was standing behind him.
"At least now you can learn from your past lives mistakes."
"Valkyrie!" The boy yelled standing up quickly.
She could see him try to revert back to his pale skin, but it wasn't working. He was still crying and clearly wasn't focused enough to shapeshift.
"Your never going to change back if your not focused." Brunnhilde said quietly. A small amount of pity in her voice. She had earned respect for Loki when he helped and saved lives. Now he was a child again and had no mother or father. Granted he had Thor but that wasn't the same. She didn't realize how different things must seem to him. It was weird to her and she was an adult.
She watched as Loki took a deep breath. Trying to calm himself, but with every breath he would take, he would get sadder. Clearly being Jotun wasn't the only problem. Eventually he fell back down on his knees. Arms going around himself.
"It's something else isn't it Loki." She asked already knowing the answer.
He nodded. "I miss my mama. I never even got to see her and I don't have her anymore." He said with hiccups. Trying to gain composure but failing.
"I miss Asgard. I miss the palace and my mother's garden. My mama and papa. I miss everything." He said finally breaking down.
Hearing Loki's crys something moved Brunnhilde. She didn't know why she was moving but she found Loki quite. Her arms around the small shaiking boy.
"I understand. I fled Asgard for a long time when Hela killed my sisters. I couldn't face Asgard and it took a loud mouth prince and his sly little brother to bring me back. I saved the people but i'll never see any of it again. I never even had the chance too. To scared to face my defeat. Loki… Prince Loki, were in this together. I understand and I think we can help each other." Brunnhilde said as she rubbed his back. The boy was shaking but he was quite.
"Will you let me help you Prince Loki, if you're willing to stick it out with me?" Brunnhilde asked. Finally moving away from Loki. Being on the ground with him, she was only a little taller. To her it seemed a way of making it seem equal. His skin easily started shifting away. Reveling sad green eyes from its tearful red. Blue making way for pale. He nodded a little, a small smile on his tear stained face.
"I like your skin. It makes you unique to everyone here. Both your forms. Has anyone ever seen your true skin?" She asked. He quickly looked away shaking his head.
"Only Thor…"
"Well I'm happy to be the second to see it. Can I tell you something? But you have to keep it between us." She led. Loki's interest clearly peeked.
"Valkyrie isn't my name. It is the name of the warriors I hale from, but I took the name is shame to hide my real one." She said, finally telling her secret to someone.
Loki looked at the ground. He sniffled a bit, but he looked back at Brunnhilde, with such kindness in his eyes. "Can I know your name?" He asked, such an innocent question but one that hurt her to say.
She sucked in a deep breath before looking at the boy in his eyes. "My real name is Brunnhilde, Prince Loki." She answered. She hadn't told anyone her name since she lost her sisters. It was nice to tell someone for once. Especially if it's helping someone. Which it did.
The prince looked up and smiled. Cleaning off his face, he sat straighter. Holding out his hand, which Brunnhilde took, he shook it.
"Hello Lady Brunnhilde, my name is Loki."
Tony found himself smiling at the story. The boy was alone and this lady helped him. The least he could do was throw a good party for everyone. The universe seeming to sense that thought, Pepper walked in.
"Come on Tony, the food is finally ready, help me get plates and cups."
Quickly the pair, well plus Brunnhilde, got the plates and cups. They easily brought them to the huge dining room, it looked a lot like the living room. Big, lots of glass windows showing the grounds. A dark oak table, Peppers idea, and matching chairs lined the large table. Carefully placing down the white porcelain plates and glass cups, everyone soon filled the room.
"I'm going to tell the kids dinner is ready." Tony heard Clint say.
"Alright legolas, make it quick!" He joked.
Soon enough everyone was seated at the table. Tony at the head of the table, for obvious reasons. His family next to him on either side. With a little persuasion, Loki sat next to Morgan. Then Brunnhilde, and of course Thor. Next to Pepper the Bartons sat. The kids looked at the food spread ready to dig in. The langs sat next to them, hope next to Cassandra. Not surprising Jane sat next to Thor. Darcy to her and Selvig next to Darcy. Strange, Wanda, Vision, and Wang, all sat next to each other on the other side of the table. They all seemed to get along, magic and stuff being common ground. Steve, Bucky, Sam, and Natasha all sat by Selvig. May, Peter and the rest of his friends filled the last bit of the table.
It was quick how to conversations started, but easily died out once Pepper hit her glass with a soup spoon. Everyone looked to her.
"It is amazing to have everyone here today, I'm so happy that all of you made it. Granted we don't have some friends with us. T'challa for one. The guardians for another. But they seemed to have their own celebrations going or are currently off planet. I'm still so happy to have the first Avengers to the newest members. As well as everyone's family. TOday is a safe day, no fighting and all that matters is us together. Tony."
That was his que.
"I'm very happy that Pepper made me plan this," A glare from Pepper but some laughter went about. "But it's true. I am thankful that everyone is here together. Spending a little time for who we are thankful for. I'm happy that most everyone could and did show up. I hope everyone enjoys all the food and thanks to everyone that brought food! I suppose that it, dig in!"
No one had to be told twice. Everyone passed the big plates around. Small conversation would pop up and die out. A joke everyone would hear would carry laughs all around. Tony was happy to see Morgan and Loki talking a little bit. Not unexpected, Loki being shy while Morgan was the one starting conversations. That's his girl! Brunnhilde was smiling at the two of them a little bit. It wasn't long till the food was gone. Desert served and eaten.
The party moved back into the living room, most of the kids heading back outside. It was darker so much better to play hide and seek tag. Tony guessed that was what they were going back to doing. Only a kid was missing again. Tony looked around, a few people sitting on the large white L couch. Others in little chairs around the glass table. He kept his eye out for black hair.
Spotting Loki, he was heading back into the kitchen. Nope. Tony slide outside, easily finding Morgan.
"Maguna! Come here really quick." Tony said keeping a foot inside the house. TUrning to face inside every now and then, making sure to keep an eye on the child slowly creeping back into the kitchen.
"Whacha need? I've gotta go hide before Cassandra comes looking!" Morgan said jumping in excitement.
"Why don't you go invite Loki?"
Morgan looked back into the yard, but quickly nodded. Running in but turning back to Tony. "Where is he?" She asked trying to get back to the game as soon as possible.
"He's by the kitchen, go quick! Or your not gonna be able to find him." Tony said, Morgan nodding and running off. It was no longer then a second till he sees Morgan holding Loki's hand dragging him to the door.
"No, wait! I really don't want to play." He could hear Loki saying as he feebly pulled from Morgan.
"Come on you'll have fun!" Morgan said still pulling the boy along.
Tony watched amused. His gave moved a bit seeing Brunnhilde and Thor grinning. Soon the kids were outside, and was introduced to everyone. Soon the kids were playing again, Morgan still leading Loki around teaching him how to play.
"I'm happy everyone got along with him. I thought he would be met with a more ruffer audience for his past life." Thor said as he stood next to Tony.
"You know us goldilocks, if you said he's changed I'm gonna believe you. Plus I'm sure once everyone saw him, they believed you too."
Thor nodded, he gulped the beer in his hands and headed back to the party.
Tony looked around. Seeing all the festivities that were going on. Everyone was together and happy, something Tony knew he took for granted recently. But this seemed to put it in perspective to him. Seeing everyones kids playing around. Seeing everyone laughing and talking about.
It was nice. Something Tony wasn't going to be taking for granted anymore. He grabbed a beer, walked over to Pepper, giving her a kiss. Yea, he liked it being calm.
Happy Thanksgiving guys- Cluelessreader
