Glad to see you guys like the new version more than the old version, I just figured this might be easier to do than giving Loki a teenage daughter since I like starting off with babies and then they grow.
This chapter Loki learns of what's to come now that he's on Midgard. For the first part of this fic he might not be in full character, but I don't want to turn him into a bad guy. He and Stark have a little understanding, though Tony might need to learn a little self-control if that's possible for him.
I don't own the Marvel characters.
Enjoy!
"Oh…my…god." Tony's eyes widened when he saw Loki. Well he wasn't looking at Loki he was looking at Loki's chest, and his chest had boobs, c-cup sized! The baby girl was suckling on his nipple, Tony's mouth gaped open and he just stared until Loki looked up and Fury smacked his head.
"Close your mouth Stark damn." Tony felt drool on the corner of his mouth, and quickly wiped it off.
"Sorry it's just…whoa." Loki looked confused.
"She was hungry." he saw no wrong with the idea of him nursing his own child from his breast.
"Yeah, oh wait you're not human so…right you had the baby so never mind." Fury gave a slight glare at Tony.
"What Stark is trying to say is that we aren't fully knowledgeable of your…anatomy. You're a man yet you gave birth and you're nursing a baby, it's a bit odd to us."
"It's my nature, I'm not Asgardian I am…Jotun." he said the last part with a little venom. Tony knew a few things about the Norse myths, but he'd have to double check on that.
"You'll have to be more specific on that later, for now we're going to explain what's gonna happen with you." Loki listened in, but adjusted his child's position on his breast. "This is Anthony Stark, he's going to give you and your baby a home so you won't be left on the streets. You're going to be with him, and you will not cause any trouble."
"I won't." Loki shook his head. "I'll behave I promise." he had tears coming to his eyes.
"It's just a precaution; our last encounter with an Asgardian wasn't a good one at first. You just need to follow some rules alright?" Tony held up his hands. "I've called my assistant, she's going to get the items needed for a baby and…oh damn I should've mentioned you." Tony quickly pulled out his phone and sent a text to Pepper.
Pick up clothes for a guy too, about my size maybe smaller. Baby items for a girl too Pep.
He sent it, and she replied back.
Alright, but you owe me still.
'Typical.' he owed her a lot, she was the only woman who could ever truly put up with him. His company might be halfway down the gutter without her running it.
"In about a day you will be leaving here to my tower, and by then you'll have a room and clothes. Some other agents are going to live with us for safety, so you're going to be watched." Loki didn't argue.
"I understand." easily compliant, almost scary.
"Hey, you have magic right?" Loki nodded. "Well try not to cause problems cuz we don't need anyone else busting down the doors right now." anyone else meaning no more aliens or gods popping up out of nowhere, he hoped.
"Yes, that would be unwise." Loki looked back down to his baby.
"Hey…what's her name?" Tony asked.
"She doesn't have one yet…"
"Well we can't keep calling her 'the baby', so you'd best pick a name." Loki didn't say anything for a minute. "I can get you a baby name book if…"
"Kira." he whispered.
"What?"
"Kira Lokisdottir." Stark looked to Fury.
"Lokisdottir means Loki's daughter, Norse surnames are based on parents' first names like if she were a boy it'd be Lokison."
"Gotcha, remind me to check out the Norse myths later." he whispered and turned back to Loki. "Kira's a good name."
"It means…beloved." an odd name for a girl, it meant the same thing on Earth if not it also meant 'little dark girl'. Hell all names had different meanings, but she looked like a Kira.
"Alright, now someone's gonna stay here with you until it's time to leave. By tomorrow you might be good to go, so I'll have some clothes sent up later." Loki only nodded.
"Thank you." Fury pulled Stark out of the room again.
"Okay so he's an odd race of alien that gives birth and he has breasts…and he's willing. Anyone else creeped out a bit?"
"Stark we're the good guys; we work under an agency that deals with this stuff everyday so what if it's a bit creepy?" Rodgers laughed. "As long as he's willing to cooperate what harm can he be?"
"That's your job to find out, I'll have JARVIS look up more on the Norse myths maybe they'll have something on anatomy in there."
"Easy there horndog." Barton smirked.
"Whoa now don't get dirty Barton." Tony wouldn't dare think that right now.
"Guys…" Romanoff gave them a look.
"Sorry Nat, went off guard." Loki had been tortured and raped by a monster, and given birth to his rapist's child. The baby kept his mind stable, but they couldn't go about with the dirty jokes around him. "Should I stick around and babysit first?"
"No I will, Pep's not expecting me back for a while anyway. Just…stay close wouldja?" they all smirked.
"Whatever Stark."
"Alright then Stark's on duty until tomorrow, if we're lucky we can get him out by then."
"Director." a nurse came back with a bag.
"His clothes…" Tony saw a pair of black jeans, a dark blue shirt, and a jacket with some shoes and a pair of socks. "These might not fit him but we'll see."
"There's also something in there for the baby, um…what is her name now?"
"Kira." Tony pulled out a purple onesie and some baby socks and fingerless gloves. "Guess we'd…" Tony took a quick look into the window and saw Loki yawn. "You guys got a baby crib or something?"
"No but we have this." she went back around the corner and wheeled out a small baby bed, ones used in actual hospitals. "Didn't think it would be needed but it is." Tony just let her into the room and walked behind her.
"Hey Loki, umm this is a bed for Kira." Tony pointed at the thing. "You both need some sleep, so let me just…"
"No!" Loki was exhausted that was clear, but the fear of having his child taken away terrified him.
"Loki relax, she's not going anywhere she'll be here all night with you." Tony had the nurse leave. "I'm going to stay too so nothing happens to her or you, do you believe me?" Loki didn't move. "I promise I won't let anything happen to Kira, ok?" Tony held his hands out, and Loki slowly and reluctantly passed Kira into his hands. Tony set her down in the bed, and made sure she was comfortable before he handed Loki a bag.
"What's this?"
"Clothing for tomorrow, if you're well enough to leave you'll change but for now just rest."
"I…I don't think I can…" Loki paled slightly.
"Do you want some food? Or a drink?" he hadn't eaten in a while as Bruce said; perhaps something easy on the stomach would help. Malnourishment made the stomach weak so heavy foods would be out for a while.
"I suppose." Tony pressed a button to call the nurse back.
"He needs some food; do you guys have soup or anything?"
"We do, some light chicken noodle should do it and saltine crackers and water." she smiled. "I'll be back in a few minutes." she left again, leaving the two men alone.
"Listen Loki, you don't have to tell us what happened unless you want to. I know you've been through hell, believe me I know, so we won't talk about it alright? Until you're ready that is." Loki shook his head.
"I do not wish to relive it." he stared at Kira.
"That's fine, but I'll need you to look at me when I'm talking to you eh? Otherwise I feel like I'm talking to myself." Loki looked up at him. "Good, now I know you're tired and hungry but I need to discuss some rules with you when we get to the tower."
"Yes?"
"Rule number one, you behave yourself in my home and that includes around my staff. Number two, if you need anything you ask me or JARVIS or Pepper but you'll meet them later, number three no going anywhere without telling me, and number four, you do as you're told." Loki flinched at the last one. "What I meant is that you listen to me alone alright? Don't let anyone else bully you, just listen to me and I'll help you. Can you do that?" Loki was quiet for several minutes.
"Those…sound reasonable." the nurse came back with a tray, the soup and water. Loki's arms were bandaged up but his bruised hands could lift the cup. Tony moved to help, but Loki seemed to be fine by himself. He ate the food in silence, and Tony kept glancing between him and little Kira until Loki finished.
"Alright." Tony took the tray away and pushed it towards the door. "Now, do you need anything else?"
"No…I'm fine." he yawned.
"Get some sleep, you're in for a long day tomorrow." if he was healed that is, and Tony knew even if this guy was a god his wounds would likely take a bit to heal.
The next day:
"So what's the word doc?" Tony had been waiting outside Loki's room while Banner examined the god and Kira that morning. They'd been in the room alone for about an hour, and while Nat and Rodgers left to get the chopper ready Tony remained behind. He had a cup of coffee in his hands, and when Bruce came out he'd made himself a third.
"He's still not fully healed, but he can travel as long as he takes it easy. I'd say give it a few days, with a good amount of easy food and water and exercise he'll be good to go. Physically at least, but mentally…" he leaned in. "Watch your words around him, he's still a bit sensitive."
"And Kira?"
"Strong and healthy, no issues from what I can see."
"Good, listen the others are waiting. Give me a minute would you?" he had to make sure Loki would be alright to leave.
"He's changing now, but…" Banner looked down the hall and saw a SHIELD agent coming their way. "Fury's not going to let you be alone with him until you get to the tower."
"Whatever, thanks man." Tony patted his shoulder. He looked through the window again, seeing Loki now fully dressed and getting baby Kira dressed in her onesie though she was putting up a fuss.
"You seem to be intrigued by him."
"Hm? Oh no I just need to make sure he's not some killer psycho alien that wants to rip me apart the minute I'm alone with him." Banner sighed.
"I think if he wanted he would've done so already, just saying." Banner moved towards the door. "Might wanna hurry, Fury's not that patient." he was right on that.
"Loki." Tony walked into the room just as Loki finished dressing Kira. "It's time."
"I'm coming." Loki slowly stood up from the bed, and winced. He had on the clothes they gave him, and Kira seemed fine in her onesie.
"Here, let me." Tony moved to hold Kira so Loki could adjust himself but Loki shook his head. "Or not, let's just be careful now." He moved so Loki could walk to the door, and Tony got behind him. The agent followed behind, and Tony didn't like it but kept quiet.
"Where is this tower of yours?" Loki asked.
"It's in New York, and it's not a tower like a dungeon tower or anything it's just a really tall building that holds most of my company and my home. Also, your room and the nursery are not finished yet, so you'll be in a guest suite until it's done."
"Very well." Loki only agreed and followed Tony to an elevator that would take them to the roof. A copter would be ready to take them to New York, about forty-five minutes from where they were. When they reached the roof the copter blades were spinning and it startled Loki.
"It's okay it's just the prep." Tony helped him towards the copter and inside, Nat and Steve were already in there with Fury up front with the pilot. Banner was going to join them later on, he had some other work to do.
"You alright there Loki?" Nat turned to him.
"I'm fine, thank you." Loki kept holding Kira close.
"Hey here." Fury passed something back, a strap-on baby carrier. "Might make it easier for you." Loki looked at the thing oddly.
"You use it to hold Kira, here let me show you." Nat showed him how to set it up and placed Kira inside, strapping the band around Loki's back and shoulders it fit perfectly. "Better?" Loki nodded.
"Ready for takeoff director." the pilot took hold of the steering wheel and the doors closed. Tony was about to speak when his phone started ringing Metallica.
"Hello?"
"Tony it's me."
"Hey Pepper, is everything ready?"
"The rooms are still on the fix but the supplies are here, Phil stopped by and explained everything to me." Tony rolled his eyes. Of course Pepper would have found out either way, she and Coulson were somewhat close.
"Coulson, same old Coulson. What'd he tell you?"
"That our guests include a wounded Asgardian and his child he gave birth to, and some…other stuff." he heard the swallow.
"Okay well we'll be on the roof in about thirty minutes or more."
"I'll meet you there, and don't forget about the board meeting this afternoon." Tony glanced at Loki who was gazing out the window. His eyes were clouded over, Tony knew that look all too well.
"Pepper that is the last thing on my mind right now, can't you cover for me?"
"I covered for you on the last two, they want a personal appearance this time. Look it's just for an hour can you manage that?"
"One hour? You swear?"
"Yes Tony I swear." Tony knew she had no control over how long the meetings took, either way he'd have to go.
"Alright I'll be there." he hung up the phone, now he had to think of what to do with Loki until he finished the meeting.
Sometime later:
They reached the roof of Stark Tower, and the landing was smooth enough for them to unload. Tony helped Loki out, and Pepper was there to greet them with Coulson at her side.
"Tony…" Pepper saw Loki and Kira. "This is them?"
"Yeah, try not to startle them Loki's a bit sensitive right now." she understood. "How are the rooms coming?"
"They're still underway but they could be done by tomorrow. I thought you weren't coming for a few days though."
"Change of plans, come on Loki." the others followed as Tony led them inside, into an elevator, and to the main floor that had his rooms and the guest suites. "Alright, Pep which room is it?"
"Captain Rodgers will be in room two, Natasha in three, Banner down below in four, and Loki and the little one will be next to you down the hall." Tony almost gaped at her.
"Next to me?" she nodded.
"It was the only one big enough to fit the baby items in."
"Alright, everyone get into your rooms and call JARVIS if you need anything." the others didn't seem to want to talk, Tony would see them later anyway. "Loki, follow me."
"Ms. Potts we need to talk." Fury and Coulson took Pepper to another room, but JARVIS would record the feed.
"Okay…" Tony opened the doors to the room, and it revealed a room similar to his own but cleaner. A queen sized bed with two nightstands with lamps, a closet, a desk, a trunk at the foot of the bed, and among other things a changing table with diapers, wipes, and clean bibs and cloths. There was also a cradle next to the bed, with a mobile of stars and moons, and a small chest of baby toys and clothing.
"This is…my room?" Loki seemed amazed by it. This was a casual sort of room; Tony had let Pepper design the suites and to her own tastes which weren't bad.
"Yeah, you will be staying here until your other room is finished. My room is next door, and JARVIS will be keeping watch." Loki just walked into the room and looked around, checking the closet and seeing some clothes for him and Kira. Pepper put baby clothes on one side and adult on the other, it was fine.
"Sir." JARVIS's voice echoed in the room and Loki jumped. He looked around searching for the source but saw only Tony.
"That's just JARVIS, JARVIS introduce yourself please?"
"Forgive me sir, I did not mean to startle your guest. Hello Mr. Odinson, I am JARVIS." Loki looked at Tony confused.
"He's my AI, artificial intelligence he pretty much operates through the entire tower. He watches everything that goes on and mainly listens to me."
"You made him?" confusion went to intrigue.
"Yeah, listen now I have some things I need to do. If you need anything just ask JARVIS and he'll help, or call me if needed."
"What should I do?" Loki bounced Kira as she cooed.
"Whatever you wish, hey JARVIS bring up the TV and put on something appropriate for a baby and her mommy."
"As you wish sir." one of the walls opened up and a huge flatscreen TV appeared. JARVIS moved the channels to a small cartoon, and Loki seemed alright with it.
"Keep an eye on him JARVIS, call me if there's any trouble."
"Yes sir." Tony watched once more as Loki took little Kira and sat down on the bed. His eyes were glued to the TV but his hands worked to remove the carrier and set Kira down in front of him.
"If you need anything for her just ask." that was the last thing he said before he left the god alone. Loki seemed to be coming around a little, but Tony knew if anything reminded him of what happened he might snap. He'd have to talk to Bruce again when he arrived.
'I don't know how this will work, but what the hell.' he walked off into the hallway to find Pepper, knowing that there was a whole list of things to do before he could return to his shop.
Hope this works for now, next one might not be up until next week if I'm lucky to get it up by then.
Next chapter has a slight time skip in it, but it'll be in Loki's point third person. Getting a little see of how his stay at Stark Tower has been, but expect nightmares and sickness along the way.
Also I've decided to keep Thor from coming for a while, so this won't fully follow the timeline of the Avengers. It won't be too long, but maybe after Tony and Loki get a little closer.
R&R
Later!
