AND AGAIN: X-Over between Avengers and Harry Potter; Okay so it's after movie one of Avengers, Loki has been found to have been under another's control – he is now an Avenger. I won't be following the stories much at all anymore. If you don't like it, suck it up and go find another story.

Chapter 5: Disneyland Adventures Begin!

I jumped up, racing through the house to find the red-headed woman. DisneyLand! I was so excited. I'd never gone before but it was on my list of things I had wanted to do with Papa this summer. Now I got to go with my mates, papa, AND the Avengers! How clue was that?!

Turning a corner sharply I rammed into another body. "Wow there. Guess they told you the plan for today huh?"

I blinked up at her momentarily before chirping "Yup! Now come on! I've never been on a rollercoaster before!" ignoring how she had treated me moments ago I grabbed her hand and dragged her back to the front hall. "Kay! I found Aunt Ninja! Let's go!"

Papa laughed. "Excited cub?"

"Are you kidding me? I've never been on a rollercoaster. I get to go to DisneyLand – land of the rollercoasters – with you, Thor, Tony, Hawkeye, Bruce, Lo- " Papa quickly covered my mouth.

"Got it cub. Let's go!"

With a cheer I ran out the door. Papa paused in the doorway before letting everyone out. His eyes hardening he glared at the group. "If any of you harm my son I will not hesitate to make you wish you'd never been born. Death would be a blessing once I'm through with you. Harry has had a hard life. He had to grow up way before his time and take the lives of others in order to save everyone around him. And he was abandoned by all his friends once he had saved them and was no longer of use."

Papa stalked up behind me, silently running tickling fingers down my sides. I squirmed and leaned back against him when he finally stopped. "You didn't have to threaten them Papa."

"I did cub, now don't complain."

I scrunched up my nose, annoyed for a moment. But all thoughts of being annoyed left my brain when I saw the limo before us. Jumping from my spot against Papa I spun around to face the Avenger team. "We get to ride in a limo?" my cheeks flushed as in my excitement my voice cracked at them end.

"Oh you're adorable Cheru. Of course we are. Only the best for you." Tony grinned, ruining his voice of mock hurt at my disbelief.

"And you're a dork. But that's ok I love you anyway." I chirped back before skipping to the limo. Laughter broke out behind me. "Come on! Times a'wasting! Rides to enjoy! Let's go!" I called out over my shoulder as I slipped onto the black suede seats.

The entire four hour drive I was bouncing in my seat. I couldn't wait. And Tony was not helping to calm me down, when he showed me a fridge full of candy and chocolate five minutes into the drive. After I started to get a sugar high Papa forced me to sit on Tony for his 'punishment'. Tony grumbled a moment but then just tugged me closer to his chest. He felt safe, like a brother or cousin would.

The moment the car was in park outside of the Disneyland I was out of Snark's lap and climbing out the door. Large, strong arms gripped me around the waist.

"Slow down little son of Wolf. You must stay at my side."

I turned and glowered at Protector. "I can take care of myself Thor."

"I never said you weren't little warrior. I will feel better if I have you in my sites though." I deflated against his chest. I knew Thor was just saying that but it was nice that he cared enough about my feelings to avoid hurting my pride.

"Fine. But you have to move faster than that." I decided to compromise…in a way.

"Cub calm down. The park isn't going anywhere. We are staying for the week." Papa says dryly as he climbs out of the limo.

My eyes are the size of saucers I'm sure. "The whole week?" I breathed.

"Yup! And we have all five signature suites rented out for the whole time. Pep, Agent, and of course Happy are in the fairytale suite. Birdie and Black Widow are in the Mickey Mouse suite, and don't complain Natasha. You wouldn't choose, so your boy chose for the two of you. Big Green and Spangles are in the Pirates suite. Wizard – I can't refer to him like that anymore can I? – you, Hammerhead, and I are in the Thunder Mountain suite. And Cheru, you and wolf man are in the Adventureland suite. Course, if you want, you can always come stay with Hammerhead and I. I'm sure we can set you papa up with one or more of our Avenging friends…" Tony bounced beside me, obviously just as excited.

Pepper wacked him on the back of the head. "You will not play match-maker. This week is about getting to know the two newest members of our family."

"How better to get to know wolf man than to have someone date him?" Tony grinned, and waggled his eyes at Papa.

Papa cleared his throat. "I'll just be a moment." He walked off into the parking lot.

I turned and glared at Tony, 'full-force kill glare' to me but they all saw 'full-force adorkable glare'. "Anthony Howard Stark! You leave my Papa alone. He lost his mate, my Daddy, last Christmas. He isn't ready." I turned and looked in the direction my Papa went. I sighed tiredly. "He may never be ready to date again. It's rare that Mother Magyk grants one of her children another chance at a mate. I know Papa loves me, but his submissive side must be killing him. He has no blood child and his mate is dead. I'm worried that once I mate fully in three years that Papa will die." I turned back to the now silent Avengers, tears in my eyes. "I don't wanna lose my Papa too." I sobbed.

Pepper had me in her arms almost instantly. "Shush little one. We won't let your papa die. We'll do everything we can. I'm sure Loki could give us some insight into mating of wizards."

Everyone looked at Loki. He sighed. "I had been hoping to keep this to myself a little longer since it is personal. The wolf is my mate. The minute your papa came into the room earlier today I knew. He and I have one other mate though." Loki turned to Bruce. "Green man, did you know?"

Bruce nodded, his face red and eyes cast down. "Yeah. The Hulk saw you as a mate almost immediately…then you insulted him and he retaliated. But we always knew. The same with Mr. Black."

"Call him Remus!" I chirped, suddenly all happy and sunshiny again. "And you two should get to know him first, before you make a move. Loki, son of Laufey, and Bruce, champion of the Hulk, I expect you to care for and protect my father. I expect a full courting, do you accept?"

Loki drew himself up. "I, Loki, son of Laufey, do accept the course of full courting. I promise to cherish, protect, and love thy father. I will prove my worth through my gifts and actions in the next six months." He ended it with a bow, both our bodies glowing.

"Champion of the Hulk, you must say the same thing in order to pursue the wolf man." Thor gave instruction in a booming whisper.

"Oh…oh okay. Alright." Bruce stuttered. "I, Bruce, champion?...champion of the Hulk, do accept the…the course of full courting. I promise…to…to…cherish, protect, and lo-love thy father. I will prove my worth through my gifts and actions in the…the next six months." Bruce stumbled into an imitation of Loki's bow and he and I glowed.

"Allllrriiiight! Well that was cool. Now what happened?" Barton asked.

"We just initiated a courtship under the guidance of Mother Magyk. Bruce, I suggest you talk to Loki about what you have to do." I informed him before turning. "Hi Papa. Calm now?" I beamed up at the man.

Remus sighed and ran his hand through his grey streaked honey brown hair. "Yes Cub. I apologize. The moon this month will be a hard one and it's already grating on my nerves."

I hugged him gently. "I can transform and run with you." I offered.

"We'll see Cub."

"But Papa! That's why I trained so early to become an Animagus!"

"Hmm. I'll think on it. Now shall we go to the park?"

"Oh! That's right, we are at Disneyland!" I spun on my heel. "Come on!" I grabbed Protector's hand before charging off to the entrance. The others all followed at a more sated pace, well other than Snark who came chasing after Thor and I, and we had to wait at the entrance for all of them to get there. Tony paid while we waited.

Once they all reached us, the passes were passed out and we entered the park. I looked around wide-eyed and excited. Thor and Tony each held one of my hands and led me around. "What ride do you want to go on first, Cheru? Today is all you. Everyone will be staying together today and we'll split up into small groups starting tomorrow."

I hummed. "Don't complain, but I want to go on 'It's a Small World' first."

Groans met my announcement but everyone grudgingly agreed, getting in line once we found the ride.

A/N: Apologizes for the horrid chapter...and the length of it. I had this and two other chapters 'done'. That is until I read them today. I have insomnia and wrote them late at night when I couldn't sleep since usually that's when I write best...but this chapter was the only one that was worth anything and even it is sad. I have to re-write the next to chapters from scratch. Sorry, and please bare with me! I'll make the next two extra long to make up for this failure...
