Natasha knew it would be hard to get Loki to take bath but he was being downright stubborn he would go in and as much as she tried to dip him in he would only hold onto her tighter and whimpered like an injured cat, Natasha had enough and called Thor to see if he could help if he knew something to get him in the tub.

"Thor help me. How did he take baths as a kid." Natasha asked when Thor appeared in her bathroom she had changed out of her jeans since they were wet

"Our mother would put bubbles." Natasha felt like an idiot of course kids liked bubbles and seeing Thor's face light up at the memory made her happy that he was able to smile even through all of this.

"Hold him for a sec." Before Thor could object Loki was in his arms and Natasha was looking through her bathroom cabinets trying to find bubble soap that she had stated away, unlike the first time Loki didn't feel afraid of Thor he leaned into him gripping onto his shirt this made Thor relaxed his brother trusted him again he was happy for that, Loki watched Natasha move around until she came back to the tub putting a couple of drops of strawberry-scented liquid soap in the tub almost instantly the tub was full of bubbles Natasha took Loki back from Thor and placed him in the tub and started to gently clean the dirt and blood off his body. Natasha didn't notice when Thor left but he did and Natasha was left to take care of Loki she didn't mind she has grown fond of Loki and he seems attached to her too, Loki played with the bubbles for the entre time occasionally showing them to Natasha he was sweet and didn't deserve what happened to him. Natasha dressed him in the clothes Tony brought which was a white t-shirt and navy blue jeans, Natasha did the best she could with his hair but didn't fuss too much about it.

Natasha took Loki to her kitchen where she was deciding what to get him to eat and chose cheerios since Bruce had told her they would have to rebuild his appetite as much as it pained her Natasha had to leave Loki with Thor for a couple of hours seeing as she had some errands to run he looked disappointed and hurt that she was leaving him but she had too. Natasha errand was Shield related just some paperwork she had to do and she did it as fast as she could wanting to get back to Loki since he and Thor would be leaving soon, when Natasha was on her way back to the tower she stopped and brought Loki a stuffed rabbit, she hoped maybe the rabbit would make him all a little he hand;t said a word since he woke up, when Natasha came Loki was fast asleep she tucked the rabbit with him he instantly hugged it closer to himself.

It's been a week and Natasha was ignoring him and Clint didn't know why he didn't do anything to upset her she wasn't picking up his calls, he wasn't allowed on her floor, and she had missed training and was missing dinner with the team and he also saw less of Thor since his been back. Steve told him to give her space but he couldn't she was his best friend and she was hiding from him and since he didn't have access to her floor he did the only thing he could do and was crawling through the vents to see what she has been hiding. When Clint got closer he heard her voice it was soft weird for Natasha he moved closer to see and hear who she was talking to.

"Come on Loki sweetie just one more spoon full and you're done with the cereal." Clint frozen Natasha was talking to Loki and she just called him sweetie what they hell his best friend was betraying him with the man who destroyed a city and killed 80 people, Clint was looking through the vent but he didn't see Loki he saw a small child who was sitting in Natasha lap holding a stuffed rabbit and a blow of cereal in front of them. Clint was confused why was Natasha calling a child Loki unless the child was Loki and Clint knew he sounded crazy but a lot of things happened over this year alone and Loki being a child was far from that crazy than what he experienced.

"Come on brother don't you want to be a strong warrior one day," Thor asked as he came into Clint's view to this the boy nodded at

"Then you have to finish your food," Natasha told the boy he sighed before he picked up the spoon and started eating the cereal, Clint didn't need to see anymore Natasha had betrayed him and was helping a war criminal who was now a child by the looks of it, Clint dropped from the vents and on the communal floor where the rest of his teammates were.

"Good your all here, I have some news that I need to share." Clint's voice was filled with anger he was too busy being angry that he missed the way Tony and Bruce tensed up

"What's wrong Katniss."

"Loki's here as in on Earth and that's not the worst thing Natasha is helping him and apparently he is a child."

"Clint do you know how crazy you sound right now Loki is a child last I saw him he was a mad man and I mean man, not a mad child."

"I don't care what you think I'm calling Fury." Clint had his hone out already calling Fury

"I'm going to let you two deal with crazy I'm going back to the lab," Tony said getting up and bolting to the elevator needing to tell Natasha to get the hell out of here before Fury and his henchmen come.

"J Natasha floor please."

Tony was drumming his fingers on his leg he really needs to get to them before it was too late since Loki woke up 2 days ago he has and Loki became close he would watch Tony play games but never speak and Tony really didn't want to see the little guy get hurt, when the elevator doors opened Tony wasted no time and rushed to the living room where Natasha and Loki and Thor were all seated enjoying a show.

"Clint knows he called Fury you need to get him out of here and you too Natasha he heard everything."

"I'm not leaving Thor has to take Loki and Fury would never believe what Clint says to him." Even though Natasha was saying this she already had Loki on her hip and was moving towards the elevator with Thor at her side.

"No Lady Natasha it is best of you and my brother runs he trusts you more I'll meet up with both of you."

"What no Thor you have to come, Sheild will arrest you."

"I can't Heimdall watches me I only see Loki when he isn't watching me that bracelet on Loki's wrists blocks Heimdall from seeing him, you must go take care of my brother for me."

Loki who was still in an onesie from last night was confused about the whole thing he was having fun one minute and was having to run the next he just held on to Natasha shirt while Natasha hold on to him was getting tighter she wasn't going to let him be put in a cell and then be shipped to Asgard just to be broken again by people who don't have a heart, Tony had told Jarvis to erase all footage of her floor for this past week and to make her floor available to anyone. Natasha had been on the run before this was nothing new for her but now she was on the run with a child.
