HOLYYYY CRAAAAP DO YOU SEE HOW LONG IT'S BEEN SINCE I'VE UPDATED! I am sorry that I have had an unannounced hiatus, thank you all for sticking with me I am grovelling at your feet right now.

So this chapter has been lazily done to prepare for the Christmas special which will be posted on the 25th hopefully!

Please enjoy the holidays and have a Merry Christmas :)

Do also remember to the readers of "The Girl and the God" that the next chapter will be posted by the end of December or hopefully tomorrow.

YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME I LOVE YOU ALL I BEG FOR FORGIVENESS WHAT DO YOU WANT YOU FOR CHRISTMAS AGGHHH *feed dies*

"Hoookay boys and girls," Tony started as he placed his hands on his hips, "You all must be wondering why I gathered all of you here at this certain point of the day.

Loki rolled his eyes as he lazily dropped the last bag on the marble floor, "Don't pretend we're noticing you Stark. Get off that couch and help us fix the luggage."

"Luggage shumggage, we can do that later. To cut it short, I'm gonna party with the locals." Tony said as he jumped off the couch and landed on his two bare feet. Clint dropped Natasha's feet and left Thor carrying her, "I'm in!" he said, "When and where do we start?"

Tony was about to reply until Tenma cut him off, "Oh no, no, no, no. I've been in enough trouble when I started hanging with you guys. Fury's gonna surely cut my salary down by probably 50—no, 60 percent!"

"About that, you're on day off. From Fury to Pepper to me babe." Tony said with a smirk. Tenma couldn't help but flash a small sign of relief.

Although, she immediately melted her reaction away, "B-but how sure are you that there are even locals in the area?"

"Pepps said so. T'was her mistake for telling me about it, honestly." Tony said as he put an arm around Clint; who gave triumphant smile.

Steve sighed as he finished placing the poptarts in the cabinet, "Locals can be dangerous Tony, they can be less welcoming than you think. Also, Loki's right; you have no right to party yet because you barely helped."

Tony stuck out his tongue at Steve.

"Very mature dude." Said Bruce.

"Aaaarrggghh FINE!" Tony roared, "I'll be making dinner today AND tomorrow if you let me party with the locals. Deal?"

"Seems like a deal to me! I would like to taste the cooking of Stark." Thor said. "Yeah me too." Tenma said with a smile.

"Deal. But if doesn't taste good, you're washing the dishes." Steve gloomily said. Tony smirked at the fact that he had machines to wash the dishes for him. And at that Tony and Clint threw off their shirts and ran on the beach to nowhere.

"Do you think they'll find anyone to party with?" Bruce asked as he set up the Wii. "Hopefully not," Loki answered, "It'll be a treat to see their disappointed faces." He finished then turned away to lounge on the couch with Tenma.

Meanwhile, Tony and Clint have been riding on a speed boat to explore the island.

"Have ye seen anything with your hawk eyes Barton?!" Tony hollered from the driver seat.

"Nope! Fucking waves are loud by the way! I only see trees, more trees, oh looks sand and water. Tony I think Pepper was wrong, there can't be any locals!" Clint shouted back.

"Don't give up! Surely there's some people here other than us…" Tony said as he squinted beneath his expensive shades.

"Hey… I think you're right! Over there by 9 o'clock!" Clint announced in excitement. There was a stream of smoke rising in the sky from the completely opposite side of Tony's island. Tony bit his lip to hold back a large grin from escaping as he turned a sharp left back towards the shore.

"Told you so dude." Tony said with a smirk as he parked the speed boat by the sand. Clint jumped out of it and entered the forest with Tony following right after.

"I'm starting to think it was slightly unnecessary to throw off our shirts as he ran just to cause a dramatic effect…" Clint muttered as he slapped a bug that tried to bite him.

"Oh, and what, if there are hot island chicks here the first thing they'll see are our beautiful bodies. It'll be a shame if we have to go under the process of taking them off on spot." Tony said with a wink.

The smoke scent has gotten stronger, the boys edged closer to it as they brushed some huge leaves away a bit; to reveal a whole tribe of island women.

"Paradise." Tony whispered, wide eyed and breathing heavily.

"Nat's gonna kill me." Clint breathed out as he gazed at a curvy young girl with long flowing ebony hair.

"Nah she's not. You guys were never in a relationship anyway." Tony said and let out a laugh at his own joke.

Then suddenly, all the women were facing their direction with glares from their bright yellow eyes.

"Fuck." They both whispered.

In the rest house however, Bruce, Steve, and Thor were aggressively playing Super Smash Bros (quite a heated battle actually).

"This Pikachu… I like it!" Thor said as he thumbed (more like slammed) the buttons randomly.

"U-uhh, roll up to jump and uhh... B to… Wha—?" Steve muttered as he maneuvered Pit around in confusion.

Bruce was quiet as he continued hitting Pikachu with Bowser. It wasn't much of a heated battle to him. "Hey, Tenma, Loki, has Natasha shown any signs of healing?" Bruce lazily asked as he clicked the buttons almost too professionally on the remote.

Loki snapped his fingers beside Natasha's ears… There was no response.

"No, but her breathing rate is normal now." Tenma said as she observed Nat's rise and fall of the chest.

"Oh good. Good sign, yeah." Bruce said as he dodged another attack from Ike who fell off the stadium, "One more fall and you're gonna be taken out of the match Steve."

"Sorry… This game seems too advanced for me, can we play Mario Kart instead?" Steve replied meekly.

"It honestly isn't that difficult Rogers, once you understand it. It will be easy." Thor said as he managed to hit Bowser, "Getting good Thor!" said Bruce.

Tenma pouted as Loki tried to recite some chant to snap Natasha out of her trauma, "I want to play with them…"she muttered.

"Then go, I'm not stopping you." Loki said without turning his head to her. She only gave a low grumble, "Well guess what, if I go and play, I'll feel guilty."

Loki snorted, "The guilt trip does hurt." But inside, he was actually happy that Tenma was going to stay with him in helping Natasha.

Then all of a sudden Natasha gasped.

"Bruce, Steve, oaf of a brother. Come quick." Loki said as he gave a small smirk, his little chant worked.

"Ughhhh!" Thor groaned, "I was about to destroy Rogers!" Bruce paused the game to Thor's dismay as he and Steve hurried to where Loki, Nat, and Tenma were.

They surrounded Natasha who blinked rapidly and turned her head to look at them, they were all staring at her from above as she lay on the couch.

"Hey Nat." Tenma grinned.

Natasha gave a weak smile, "Where's Clint?" she groaned softy.

"The Lady Romanoff has awakened! We shall all be jovial and gay!" Thor cheered around, dragging Loki into a hug.

"Release me you idiot." Loki wheezed through the rib cracking hug.

"Clint's not here, why'd you ask?" Steve asked her as he helped her up.

"I owe him a hard punch in the face." She murmured and rubbed her eyes. "Glad you're back Nat." Steve replied with a small smile.

"GUUUUYS! HELPP!"

The whole team looked at the open door, "What the heck?!"Bruce said as he saw two shrinking teenagers running towards the rest house.

The two teens were being chased by a tribe of tan skinned women, all holding spears or chasing the boys with amulets.

"WAIT! WAIT A SECOND DON'T TOUCH UUUUS!" the boy that looked like Clint started to shout. Their voices started getting higher and higher.

"I shall save you son of Stark, son of Barton! Do not fear!" Thor heroically said as he ran off to the beach to grab the stumbling (shorter) Clint and Tony.

"Those women, they're not human. Don't go near them Thor!" Bruce hollered, but it was too late. Thor has turned smaller too.

"I HAVE BECOME A CHILD! WHAT IS THIS MAGIC?!" Thor screamed in a higher tone of voice.

"Let's make run for it! C'mon Thor!" Tony said in his new child-like voice. The three were all kids now, and they were doing their best to run as fast as they could towards the house.

"Steeeve," Bruce said as he urged to shut the door "what do we do?! The women are faster in running, they're going to raid the house!"

Steve sighed as he turned to what was left of the team, "We can't leave any men behind. We have to wait for them… On the count of ten, close the door." He replied.

"But Steve, they're not fast enough." Tenma said worryingly.

"One…"

"Rogers, they are not going to make it."

"Two…"

"Don't close the door!" The three kids squealed.

"Three…"

The women were closing in to the kids, yelling what seemed to be curses.

"Four…"

"Those Midgardian women, or whatever they are, they have turned Stark, Barton, and my oaf of a brother into children again."

"Five…"

"And whoever they touch-" Natasha gave a nervous look at Loki's words.

"Six…"

"Will turn into children as well." Loki finished.

"Seven…"

"We're not gonna make iiiiiit!" Clint squealed, he hated his stubby legs as they made their way through the sand.

"Eight…"

"Don't give up yet Cliiiint!" Thor replied.

"Nine..."

"FUUUUUU-" Tony yelled as he jumped towards the "welcome" mat of the house, followed by Clint and Thor.

"TEN! Shut it now Bruce!"

The three kids were screaming around in their oversized trunks and pants, Tony was crying ("The sexy lady cursed meeee!"), Clint was sobbing on the floor in front of Natasha's feet saying how much he missed her and Thor was on the mat just resting and thanking the gods that he didn't die.

"They're still outside… Yelling and screaming like the mad women they are." Bruce said as he looked through the door-hole.

Just then a more elderly looking woman walked in front of the house as her tribe behind her silenced.

"All the men in your house, whoever touches the children once-men shall suffer the same fate!" she yelled, and at once the tribe started to chant again.

"Well that's a bit sexist." Loki muttered.

The chants got softer and softer, marking that the locals have left.

"Who knew the locals would be witch-like tribe women who are super sexist?" Tenma laughed.

"Brucey, carry me, let's play Mario Kart." Tony said as he waddled in his oversized red and gold trunks.

"Haha, no." Bruce replied.

"Don't be a douche!" Tony said as he slapped Bruce's leg.

"Damn."

And at that, Bruce started to shrink, and turn smaller, and smaller, and smaller.

"Bruce!" the rest of the team screamed in surprise.

Then out of the purple shirt popped out a child version of the once teen Bruce Banner who was pouting at Tony. "Now look at what you've done! Who's the douche now?!" the tiny Bruce squealed at the guilt-stricken Tony.

"Geez, sorry Brucey…" Tony mumbled as he aimed to rest his hand on the wall which apparently was a Steve passing by.

"Really." Steve said with an eyebrow arch, "Sorry giiirls…"he said as he shrunk.

Tenma and Natasha looked at Loki who gave them a shrug, "Seems like I'm all you girls have left." He said with a smirk.

"Nu-uh you're going down with us." Clint said in jealousy when Natasha gave a smile to Loki, which soon faded out.

"Ah poop." A little Loki said.

"We are now all children! Yes, my bretheren!" Thor announced, and at once all hell broke loose.

"It's up to us girls now I guess…" Tenma said sadly.

Natasha couldn't help but shed a tear.

Okay, I haven't been completely honest with you all... I have an account on wattpad called JinxedtotheCore and I haven't posted anything yet actually but I WILL transfer both my stories here to there (both revised and better!) asap-ity!

So I bid you a merry farewell for now as soon as the next chapters come up ;)
