Summary: I am having some writers block on another story so I'm writing this to get my brain unblocked. Tony discovers that he has a kid a fully grown up kid. His worst nightmares have come true. Thor has Loki on earth because Asgard is full of jerks. Bucky is there too because Steve loves his Bucky bear. This story is basically why it is a really bad idea to put three insane individuals with the maturity of twelve year olds under one roof. Agent Coulson resumes his role as a glorified babysitter for a Stark.
Warnings: Family dinner during Halloween. The kids enjoy the show. Two stubborn fathers won't agree to anything. When all else fails go to the Director. Phil is a witness. Natasha is a witness. Tony and Odin maybe tied and gagged.
Chapter 11: A Not So Traditional Family
Tony is dressed as a wizard and is annoying Clint the Elf. "Legolas! Magic!" Tony throws glitter at Clint and cackles like a madman. He slowly approaches Steve and gets a face full of supersoldier hand. "Kill joy."
Steve gives him a look of "I'm too old for your crap" and adjusts his vampire costume. "Who gave the kid glitter?"
Mary and Loki walk in dressed as a dragon and princess. Mary looks at Clint and rolls her eyes. "Kids. If you can't behave then no candy."
Bucky comes in dressed as a werewolf. "Aw mom. No fair. He started it."
Odin looks at the group puzzled. "What purpose does this serve?"
Tony looks at Odin and grins. "Kids get candy adults get booze. We just have to dress stupid to do it."
Bruce walks in and sees Mary rolling her eyes. He adjusts his Frankenstein's monster costume and grins. "Actually it was an old pagan tradition to dress in frightening costumes and carve faces into turnips to keep evil spirits away."
Mary nods and adjusts Loki's wings. "That is right. Though now it is about candy and alcohol."
Tony nods happily. "Yep. You need a costume."
Odin chuckles and sits. "I'm too old for that besides Stark you need all your wits to draw up a marriage contract."
Tony looks at Odin. "A pre-nup? We have lawyers here for that."
Odin looks at Tony and scowls. "On Asgard it is written by the two families as an agreement of peace and financial responsibility."
Tony chuckles. "Mary already has more money than the president. No problem there. What are you offering for her hand, three milk cows and seven goats?"
Odin turns red and stands. "Are you mocking me?"
Mary and Loki ushers everyone outside to the party hall. "We will take care of the party while you two have your pissing contest." Mary closes the door behind the group and looks at Steve. "What else could you possibly call that?"
Steve opens his mouth but shrugs. "You're right. Let's go. Let them duke it out."
Loki plays with the kids and pretends to be dead for a few as the little kids "save the princess." He watches as Mary kisses the knights and gives them candy. He knows that she will make a wonderful mother.
Clint is painting faces and Steve and Bucky are running games. Bruce is serving food and Pepper and Natasha run the bouncy house. Tony is supposed to give a speech in five minutes but he and Odin are still arguing.
Mary bites her lip and grabs her phone. She texts Fury and sighs. "Loki, Fury is coming and will help you with the children. I'm afraid I am the face of Stark Industries tonight."
Loki nods and gently takes her hand. "You will do wonderfully my princess." He kisses her chastely and smiles as a chorus of "ew" echoes around him. "You say ew now. Wait until you meet your special prince or princess. You won't be saying "ew" after that."
Mary walks to the podium and clears her throat. "I'm afraid that my father couldn't make it tonight but I made it. This event was formed to raise money so that we may research childhood cancer and find a cure. I look in the crowd tonight and I see heroes. Heroes who fight everyday against a foe that doesn't see color, age, nationality, or social status. I see heroes in all of you here. I see heroes in the children fighting for their childhoods and some their lives and I see heroes in the parents and guardians who give of themselves to daily lift their children up and keep them strong in the fight. We hope that one day this disease will be eradicated and no more will this fight be necessary. That is why that whatever amount of money is raised here tonight Stark Industries has agreed to match it and then some. Thank you for being party is for you- our heroes."
Tony and Odin stand in the door way of the hall. Tony wipes his eyes and nods. "You're right she's not a princess. She's a queen." He walks in and rushes to the stage to hug Mary. "You did great."
Odin finds a chair and sits. The marriage contract is getting nowhere and the only thing Stark agrees to is yelling. He takes out a piece of paper and sighs. "Frigga what am I supposed to do?"
Tony leads Mary off stage and sighs. "He's not backing down. This whole contract thing is a load if you ask me. I say have a normal pre-nup but no. He has to have it his way. Wait, is that Fury dressed like a pirate?"
Mary nods and walks over to Loki and shakes her head. "They can't agree to anything. Dad, would you mind taking over the story station, I would like to talk with Loki."
Tony looks at them and nods. "Sure. Who likes stories?" He walks over to a group of kids and picks up a book. The kids smile up at him as He flips through pages. "Who likes Dr. Seuss?"
Mary smiles as she walks with Loki. "Why don't we write our own contract and wed under it?"
Loki looks at her and bites his lip. "I suppose it will have to work. Our fathers are too stubborn to compromise. Do you have a Stark pad?"
Mary nods and smiles. "Let's write it together."
Loki nods and puts his hand over hers. "Always together."
Tony has replaced his wizard hat with a striped stove pipe hat and is doing silly voices when Mary and Loki arrive. "Loki and I have come up with a solution. We wish for you and Odin to join us in the conference room after the party."
Tony nods and goes back to reading. Mary and Loki go around and talk with people and give the other Avengers a break. Loki can't help but imagine Mary with children. His mind wanders to imagery of Mary round with child. He sees them living through everything together.
Odin watches Loki and notices the look in his eyes. A rare experience that few know of but the Juton people speak of highly. A soul bond. Two souls entwined by Yggradsil itself and bound forever even in death.
He sighs and looks at the paper. "I cannot compromise with this mortal."
Mary and Loki see their guests out and smile at the little sleeping faces. The parents are greatful and thank them profusely. Loki smiles. "No, thank you for allowing us to meet true heroes. Have a safe journey."
Tony and Odin go to the conference room and are met by Fury, the rest of the Avengers, Bucky, and Pepper. Tony looks around. "What's going on?"
Fury looks at the two fathers. "Since you two can't agree on a contract your children have. Here is a copy. Read it."
Odin looks at it and huffs. "This isn't traditional. No one on Asgard has ever made a contract like this."
Tony looks at it. "These divorce terms are insane! We won't divorce we will work through it? This is naive!"
Steve rolls his eyes. "No. It is the way a good marriage should work. Maybe you should view this as your compromise. They are taking control and blending two cultures. I suggest you two accept it."
Tony looks at Odin and they whisper. "Fine but when they get married we will object to all of this."
Fury nods and grins. "Had a feeling that's why I have these." He hold up chains and gags. "I will let you agree to give Mary in marriage but that's it. You two won't ruin what little time together they have left."
Tony looks confused and he looks at Odin. "You're all knowing, what's going on?"
Odin looks around the room. "They are wedding tonight."
Tony turns his head as Mary walks in wearing a long flowing white gown and a veil being held in place by a crown of flowers and wheat. "Jesus, you're beautiful."
Mary smiles and takes Tony's hand. "I wasn't going to let you miss this moment."
Loki walks in wearing gold armor. The armor contrasts beautifully against his cobalt skin. He stares in amazement at Mary as he takes his place next to Mary. "You look beautiful."
Mary smiles and blushes. "You look like a sapphire in a crown. Handsome and shining."
Fury nods and Phil and Bucky stand next to Loki and Pepper Bruce and Natasha stand next to Mary. "Let us begin."
Phil and Bruce produce two swords and resting upon the blade tips are wedding rings. Fury nods. "These rings are a symbol of your love. Never ending and complete. These swords symbolize not only a peaceful union of two worlds and peoples but a vow to protect and love one another in difficult times. By exchanging the rings on the tips of your swords you vow that you will fight for your love in dark times as well as good times." He watches as Loki and Mary exchange rings. "Now you will exchange swords. By the exchange of these swords you promise that you fight as one unit. One soul and one mind."
They exchange swords and smile. Fury nods and looks at them. "By the power vested in me by the power of the government of the United States of America I declare you husband and wife. You may kiss your bride."
Loki kisses Mary and the group whistles. Tony wipes his eyes and hugs Mary. "You ah, you two can have the uh middle penthouse floor. Consider it a wedding gift. I am glad I got to do this, you know, give you away. I'm honored to be part of your big day. You look beautiful and if he ever does something stupid you have me and Bruce, okay?"
Mary nods and hugs Tony. "Thank you dad. I love you. But think of it as gaining a son instead of losing a daughter." She smiles kindly at him.
Tony and Odin watch as Loki and Mary go down stairs. Odin looks at Tony. "Their children will be brilliant and beautiful."
Tony looks at Odin and sighs. "We need a drink."
Fury does make good on his threat. Odin and Tony do have to be chained and gagged but only after the wedding. Apparently booze and being outsmarted by your own kids doesn't mix well.
Steve looks at Tony. "I don't think that's a good idea. What if they choke on their own vomit?"
Fury nods in agreement and removes the gags. The men are crying or laughing or both; no one really knows and honestly it is funny. Fury looks at them and shakes his head.
Mary blushes as Loki takes her to a private floor. "This is it. We are at the next level."
Loki nods and carries her to the master bedroom. "Are you sure about this. I've not seen all of this body naked."
Mary kisses him. "Then we learn together."
Loki kicks the door close and smiles. "Class is in session."
Steve watches as Tony and Odin cry on the couch nursing many bottles booze. Steve isn't sure but he thinks he hears Tony crying about losing his daughter and being too young and too hott to be a grandfather.
