I own nothing.

Potion: Write about a magic potion. What's it made of? What's it do?

Tony stayed with Elena until she kicked him out. His reasoning was that he did not want her to be alone so she waited until Loki came in around 11am. Tony pouted as he left which made Elena laugh.

"So I see you two made nice?"

"So I see you have something in your hand that you hid from Tony?"

"Yeah, I did some research and found this. It should give me a definitive answer to whether my results yesterday were correct. It's an Asgardian method that works like a blood test but in seconds and you can pick and choose what you want it to narrow in on first."

"What are you testing me for anyways? And what is that?"

"It's a potion made mostly from herbs and flowers plus some of my magic. As far as what I'm testing for... I guess you could call it a parasite." He handed her the small vial and she drank it reluctantly. A few seconds later Loki's eyes grew wide and he sharply inhaled. "Oh, Fury is going to be pissed."

"Why, what's wrong with me?"

"One minute, I'll be right back. Don't worry it's not urgent or dangerous or life threatening or anything. I'll be back in a minute." Loki was back in a minute; he had put something in his pocket but sat down beside Elena on the bed.

"So nice weather we're having right?" Elena asked

"Really?" Loki rolled his eyes "So... um turns out I was right yesterday when I did the diagnostic on you..."

"Which means what?"

"You're pregnant."

"I'm what?"

"Pregnant."

"I can't be pregnant!"

"I brought you a test from Natasha's room if you want to check." He pulled the box from his pocket and handed it to her. She took it and ran to the bathroom to pee on the stick. She came back out 5 minutes later.

"I'm pregnant."

"Indeed, so what are you going to do about it?"

"Tell Tony?"

"Are you going to keep it?"

"Well I'm not going to throw it out the window."

"Not what I meant."

"I want to keep it, and if Tony doesn't then I could always leave."

"I don't see Tony not wanting it. Oddly enough I think he would make a good father if only to spite his own."

"Yeah, that comment started out nice."

"Does this mean you're going to tell the team about the two of you?"

"I really need to talk to Tony about all of this."

"When?"

"Not today, maybe tomorrow? Definitely this week, or before I start showing?"

"Probably a wise course of action."

"Shut up, you're not pregnant."

"I have been before."

"What?"

"Don't you ever read about Norse mythology?"

"I thought that part was a lie."

"Most of it was. I only have two children. The one I mothered, what you would call an octo-horse, and Hel."

"I'm so screwed."

"That's actually how you got into this situation."

"Get out Loki." He smirked but left the room. Elena sat there for an hour or so before she realized she needed some comfort. Not up to going to the lab and having Bruce comment or ask questions she just went straight up to the penthouse. She curled up hugging Tony's pillow and wearing his shirt before drifting off to sleep.

Tony walked into his bedroom looking for Elena. JARVIS had told him she was in here when he went to her room and she was nowhere to be found. He stared at the figure in his bed. Lying there was Elena in his Black Sabbath t-shirt and clutching his pillow like a life line. He smiled and went over to her, removing the pillow and replacing it with his body, he quickly fell asleep.

The next morning when they woke up they decided to have a lay in. Elena saw no harm in it since their relationship was going to be ousted soon anyways. They lay in bed having whispered conversation for another hour before both finally gave up and left the room to go about their days. Of course Tony had to take his shirt back first and he got sidetracked, but in the end he left his room wearing his Black Sabbath t-shirt and a massive grin that Bruce refused to comment on. Elena left the floor with messy hair and weak knees, she ran into Loki who raised an eyebrow. She shook her head and he sighed and left her to enter her room alone.
