Chapter 2

Five years later

"How much longer till Happy gets here?" Will asked Jarred quietly, as Olivia, Mark, and Natalie looked at him hopefully.

It was May 13, and the children's last day of kindergarten. Jarred had convinced Happy to pick them up from school, and take them to lunch, then take them to Jarred's home, the old Avengers Tower. Jarred knew both his parents wouldn't be home until later tonight, and he had some fun planned.

"I don't know, shouldn't be much late-"He was cut off by the classroom intercom

"Miss. Klass, will you please send Jarred, Mark, Will, Olivia, and Natalie to the office. They are being dismissed."

Before the office secretary finished her announcement, the small group of friends had grabbed their backpacks, and ran out the door, "No running! Have a great summer!" Miss. Klass said laughing at the children's antics.

"Hello Happy." Olivia Rogers said politely as Happy opened the car door and she hoped in, Will giving a small 'Thanks', Mark throwing a nod, and Natalie giving a thumbs up.

"Jeez Happy, what took you so long?!" Jarred said over dramatically as he hoped in last.

Happy rolled his eyes and slammed the door, once he was buckled into the drivers seat, he checked the review mirror to make sure everyone was buckled into their respective seats or car seats. "So what do you guys want for lunch?" He asked already knowing the answer as he pulled out of the school's parking lot.

"McDonald's!" The kiddies cried.

After they had gotten lunch, and ate at a local park and ran around for a few hours, they had arrived at Avengers. "I think our plan worked." Natalie smiled darkly, as Happy yawned.

"You guys stay out of trouble, I'll be back in a bit. Jarvis will you watch them?" Happy said as the made a B-line for the room he stayed in when there were emergencies at the tower.

"I will do my best Sir." The AI replied.

After Jarred was positive Happy was out of ear shot, the six year old leaned against the table, motioning his friends to lean in, hoping Jarvis wouldn't hear their schemes. "Okay you guys, you remember what we are making, right?" There was a collective nod around the table. "Olivia and I will go get the potassium iodide, Mark and Nat, you guys go find the hydrogen peroxide, it should be in my mom and dad's bathroom. And Will, you go to the Lab and set up everything we need, we'll meet you there in five minutes."

After some searching, the small group was setting up in setting up in the lab. "Jarred, why do you have that huge mixer bowl?" Jarred and Olivia had found an industrial grade kitchen mixer in the kitchen that Jarred's mom, Pepper, bought on a whim.

"Why not?" Jarred questioned

Will rolled his eyes as he handed out pairs of safety goggles to his friends, Jarred's attention snapped, "Did you here that?"

Natalie looked at the dark haired boy and smiled, automatically latching on to his plan, "I think Happy is waking up!"

"I didn't hear any-"Mark grabbed the innocent blonde's arm and pulled her back to him, covering her mouth.

"Will, maybe you should go check it out." Natalie said, sweetness dripping from her words.

Will looked at his friends, sighed sadly as he thought, 'They always make me do this stuff.' But replied, "Okay, but don't start anything till I get back!" As he ran out the door.

"Okay, we have less than five minutes for fun." Jarred said as he quickly turned back to the large mixer bowl, and began measuring and dumping chemicals into the hefty bowl. Mark retracted his hand from Olivia's mouth, exclaiming how she licked him.

Jarred smiled, "Nat, go which for Will." He commanded as he pour water into the bowl.

"Shouldn't we wait for Will?" Olivia Rogers asked, knowing better.

"He won't let us have any fun Livi, you know that."

Olivia scrunched her face, knowing this was true as she watched Jarred, with the help of Mark, attempt to pick up a 10 gallon bucket of potassium iodide, and dump it into the water on the work bench, "Here let me help." She said caving, as she helped the boys with the bucket, picking it up as if it were a bucket of nothing.

After they dump the potassium iodide into the water, Jarred directed Mark to go pick a 160 ml dish soap bottle out of one of the cabinets, together he and Jarred mixed in the soap and hydrogen peroxide as Olivia squirted in a bottle of blue food coloring that Natalie had swiped from the kitchen earlier.

"Stand back!" Jarred yelled as the concoction began to bubble, then a large foamy substance began to quickly pour out of the bowl uncontrollably.

Will rushed into the lab, "Okay, Happy is back asleep, he got up to go pee," After a moment, he noticed the large amount of foam building around his ankles. "I TOLD YOU GUYS TO WAIT! YOU HAD NO IDEA WHAT THE MEASUREMENTS WERE!" Will screamed, as he began to shake angrily.

"Will, calm down!" Mark cried as his twin yelled the same thing, the foam now expanding to their waists.

Olivia tempted to quickly make her way to Will, then preceded to put a comforting hand on his small shoulder, making his shakes rest, but before they did his eyes hazel eyes flashed an unnatural green tone.

"Now what?" Natalie bawled, as she pulled on the locked lab door with no results.

"The door is locked! It was a safety precaution, but Dad never got around to uninstall it after, it wasn't performing-"

"No one cares!" Mark hollered, "Just get us out!" The dense foam now over their heads, nearing 6 feet tall.

Jarred was struck with an idea, "JARVIS, help!"

"It is already on its way, Mr. Stark" The AI replied coolly. Tony Stark, Bruce Banner, Steve Rogers, and Clint Barton had went to kill time in town waiting for the kids to get home from school, and with the wives out on a mom's only vacation, Jarvis had contacted the men the moment the children had disappeared to the lab, and they were currently racing home.

The out of control experimental foam now reached the lab's ceiling, there wasn't a surface that didn't contain the blue monster. The children also could no longer see each other, due to the large amounts of froth, and the stinging in their eyes from the soap and other chemicals.

"WILL!" Jarred cried out, "I'm sorry I didn't listen to you!"

"You're currently learning a lesson, apology accepted!" Will yelled in the general direction of Jarred's voice, when a strong arm wrapped around him and Olivia, who was still standing next to him, and carried/drug them out of the now wide open lab door.

"Jarvis, get this mess cleaned up!" Their savior yelled with a hint of annoyance in his voice, and then they were set on the couch in the main living area of Avenger's Tower.

"Uncle Tony!" Olivia cried, wrapping her foam covered arms around his legs. After a few moments, Steve Rogers entered the room with Jarred latched onto his back, Bruce Banner carried in Natalie bridal style, and Clint had Mark gripping to his hip.

"You kids could have been seriously hurt!" Olivia's father chastised them.

"I'm sorry, it was all my fault." Jarred fessed up, the Dads exchanging nervous glances, " Will had planned out the experiment so it would be safe, but I got him to leave the lab, and I-"

"And WE all started-"Olivia interrupted, before Mark took over.

"Dumping chemicals into the bowl-"

"And it just got out of hand, and we're sorry." Natalie finished the story, as the friends all shared small smiles. "However, you are supposed to be making sure that we don't get into trouble or get hurt or anything like that so…" Natalie said quickly flipping the blame to the other team.

"Uhh.." Tony said, a tad jumbled, but was saved by a yawning Happy walking into the living room, Happy however was not so lucky.

"Happy, I thought we asked you to watch the kids while we were gone." Tony quizzed.

Happy panicked, "I didn't do it! It was them!" Happy pointed at the little ones.

"Happy, your blaming one 5 year old and four 4 year olds." Bruce Banner pointed out.

"They're your kids, they are all like you!" Happy continued desperately.

Clint walked over to the body guard and put his hand on his shoulder, "Why don't you go home, we can take it from here." The archer told him.

Happy looked around the room full of people, then sighed dejectedly, "Ok." And with that he left the tower.

"So, how do you think we should punish them?" Steve said to the other fathers, jokingly, as the five children looked at each other as they shifted in their seats.

"I don't know, maybe Tony should cook for them." Clint said jokingly, the kids broke into smiles.

"That's a good idea, kids go to Jarred's room." Steve said, and the kids quickly complied.

As they were leaving they overheard their Dad's conversation. "I was just joking." Steve said a little surprised.

"Why not, his cooking is disgusting, so that sounds like a pretty good punishment." Clint shrugged.

"You don't like my cooking!?" Tony feigned hurt.

Bruce walked over to Tony, gave him a quick pat on the back, "So what's for dinner?" He asked before walking on to the kitchen, as the group of Dads followed him.

"I still can't believe you don't like my cooking…" Tony pouted, as he followed his friends.

On Asgard, same time

"Thor, please talk to him. He won't listen to anything I say." Jane said burying her head into her burly husband's chest.

"Do not worry Jane." He reassured Jane, as he embraced her, "I was rather persistent when I was as young as Theo." Jane groaned, as Thor's laugh boomed throughout the corridor. "I shall speak with him my Queen." With that, he was on his way to his young son's room.

As Thor made his way to his son's room, he lightly knocked one the giant golden door, he was then he was told by a small, muffled voice to enter. When Thor strode into the push room he was greeted by a nice size mass running into him, grabbing his legs.

"Oh Father!" A tear stricken faced, Theo cried, "I'm so happy to see you!"

Unprepared for the sudden burst of emotion Thor was caught off guard, nearly forgetting why he was to have a talk with the boy. Thor picked up his young son and carried him over to his bed, where he sat down putting Theo on his lap.

"Theo, my only son, tell me why you have not been trying in your schooling, giving your mother and tutors such grief, and why you no longer want to go to the training classes with Lady Sif and Warriors Three?"

"Because when I'm good and I try hard, you are never home Father, but when I misbehave, or be naughty, and I refuse to listen to Mother, she calls for you to come and talk to me, like now." Young Theo's words hit his Father like a ton of bricks.

"Theo," Thor said unsure of what to say next, "Theo, why didn't you ever tell me or your mother about your thoughts?"

"Because you're so busy being king, and mother just… doesn't understand."

"Theo, I'm so sorry, I was unaware of your feelings. But I will always make time for you, I guess I have been away from home quite a lot. From now I swear to be with you and your mother more."

"You mean it?" Theo's voice rising in excitement.

"Yes," Thor smiled broadly. "Actually, why don't I also help why your training?"

"Oh Father," Theo smiled, but then his mood fell, "But you're the King, you need to go do King-y things."

"You are correct my son, however, as a part of my duties I need to train the man who is to be king after me." Thor embraced his son, after a few minutes, the door opened to reveal Jane, leaning against the door, with her arms crossed on her chest, smiling at the scene in front of her.

"It's time to have lunch, Odin and Frigga are waiting." Thor released Theo, and he ran to hug his mother, and then ran to the dining hall. "I take it your talk went well?"

Thor smiled and gave a small laugh, as he hugged Jane and they followed Theo's footsteps to the dining hall.

On an unknown realm…

"Father can't we please do something else?" A young boy, with pale green eyes and raven black hair, politely asked his father, as he discarded the history book.

"Lann, you can't expect to be a king and not know about the history." Loki said to his son.

"Yes, but wouldn't it be better to go see it for myself?" Lann countered with a gleaming and mischievous smile.

Loki paused, reflecting over the young child's words, "Perhaps you are correct, finish the History of Midgard, practice your shape shifting, and sorcery, then I will show you how pathetic the people of Midgard are."

"Yes Father," Lann smiled darkly to himself as his father turned his back, silently celebrating his small win, finally going to the infamous Midgard.
