A/N: I'm back! Long story short: LIFE takes all of my free time. This lovely chapter is based on a request from Erchomai2234! Whoo!
Loki didn't normally nap, especially not in places where other people could see him. But one Tuesday around the middle of April cultivated the perfect napping situation. The clouds hung low over the tower, and the air moved with a lovely chill that teased the coming of a spring storm. Movies and TV specials marathoned continuously, and spring themed everything was available for consumption. The Trickster had been watching a fun little movie about bunnies when his eyes felt heavier and heavier. When Steve found the snoozing god curled up around one of the many pillows, he gently laid a plush throw over him.
Clint watched this from his perch in the air duct. It had been too long since he'd pranked Loki. He smirked, stroking his bow in thought. An odd twinkling light danced around the assassin.
"What the hell?" he quipped as a black rod topped with a yellow star literally poofed into his hands. A grin spread over his face as he recognized the magic wand.
. . .
Loki yawned himself awake and lazily stretched his arms. He heard a chuckle. Fully opening his eyes, he glared at the source of the laughing. Clint seemed very pleased about something – which couldn't mean good news for the god. The marksman twirled a spoon around a small plastic cup of chocolate pudding.
"Morning Sunshine," Clint said as he shoved a spoonful of pudding in his mouth. Loki was about to say something but stopped when he saw his reflection in the coffee table. His hair was blonde.
"What did you do?" he asked trying to remain calm. Steve walked in the room and did a double take as he passed Loki.
"Whoa, that's a nice look for you," he said smugly. Loki growled and leapt from the couch, running to his personal bathroom. Clint and Steve followed. The god frantically grabbed at his golden hair, clearly disgusted by it. Green magic sparked around his hands as he tried to change it back to its normal beauty. But his hair quickly turned a bright red that matched suspiciously close to a certain Thunder God's cape. He shrieked, turning to Clint.
"UNDO WHAT YOU HAVE DONE MORTAL!" His fury was humorously articulated by his red hair. Clint and Steve giggled like school girls, not at all intimidated by him. Loki glared at them then noticed the wand sticking out of Hawkeye's pocket. He lunged at him. Clint bolted away without hesitation. Loki chased after him.
"Guys, careful!" Steve shouted after them.
Down in Tony's main lab, the Man of Iron sat tinkering on his newest suit.
"Sir, Loki and Agent Barton are chasing each other. Threat level: Red," JARVIS announced. The Avenger sighed.
Back on the main level, Clint was attempting to climb back into the air ducts while Loki was blasting various magic curses at him. Steve, now joined by Natasha and Bruce, were laughing as they watched safely from the other side of the room. Thor quickly ran into the room from the main entrance, having heard the commotion.
"LOKI! What are you doi-," Thor's words were enveloped by his own sudden laughing. "Loki, your new look is….fabulous!"
The God of Mischief's face blushed a red as bright as his hair. Tony suddenly burst into the room. He had a plastic spray bottle filled with water in his hand. Without a word he sprayed a few sprits at both Clint and Loki. Both of them stood stock still.
"Quit. Endangering. My. Tower." Each word was accompanied by another spray of water. Loki and Clint seemed relatively unfazed.
"Geez, Tony we were only having fun," Clint mumbled. Loki glared at both the assassin and billionaire.
"Sir, there are visitors on the ground level for Captain Rogers," JARVIS chimed in.
"Who is it?" Steve asked. The AI displayed a live video feed of the tower's main lobby on the wall nearest him. Standing in the lobby rather awkwardly was Nick Fury himself. He had a firm grip on a gruff looking man with a metallic arm. Around the man's neck hung a sign that read "If found, return to Captain America."
"Bucky…?" Steve whispered in shock.
