Before you get started reading.
Author's note: What you need to know for this fic, is that Loki is dead. Thor has just returned from his funeral in Asgard. It has been three days since Loki's attack and it is in MidOctober about a week from Halloween.
Disclaimers: I do not own any of Marvel's characters. I do own my Loki, a few others, the plot and the some of the backstory. Including my Loki's past.
Well enjoy.
Chapter 6 Dance the Macarena
They were on time but the rest of the team was already there. Loki was yanked out of his book and into a crushing hug by Thor who had changed into a new plaid long sleeved shirt and blue jeans. Thor yanked Loki down to sit next to him asking what he wanted to eat. Laughing the other Avengers joined them around the tables and Tony Stark left to order their food from Pizza Hut. When he came back they all dug into the pizza and talked about what they had gotten at the mall including Halloween costumes. Dr. Banner had just reached for the last slice of pizza, when all hell broke lose. Dr. Doom's doombots were attacking the Avengers while he stood laughing his head off in the corner of the large room.
"Brother," Thor cried out looking around for Loki as he held out his hand to summon Mjolnir. Dr. Banner had already hulked out and had overturned the table smashing doombots left and right.
*8*8*8*
Loki upon sensing trouble grabbed his bags, and jumped over his seat heading for the far wall just as Dr. Banner turned bulky, and green. That was a bit of a shock but Loki ignored anything except getting to relative safety. He huddled in a corner of the room.
"F.A.D.E. run the danger program. I want to know what's attacking me."
"They appear to be robots Master Loki. Should I try program 458?"
Before Loki could answer one of the robots turned towards his direction and tried to blast him. He quickly tapped a button on his belt and jumped straight into the air as the bolt of energy discharged harmlessly against the wall. Loki coughed as the dust billowed around them. He issued an order to F.A.D.E., "F.A.D.E. instate program 458. If that one does not work keep going down the list till one does."
The robot turned and spotting him raised its weapons again, with another push of a button Loki dogged and controlling the antigravity belt set down a few paces away. He ducked under a table and the robot seemed to be having trouble finding him. Loki took a moment to look for his hosts. Mr. Fury was shooting at a robot and dodging. Clint was standing on a table with his new bow and arrows shooting as well. Natasha was also fighting with guns and Thor was hitting the robots with what looked like an oversized forge hammer. The green being who had once been Dr. Banner apparently did not need a weapon preferring to grasp a robot by the leg and smashing it around. Mr. Stark was in some sort of gold and red colored armor he had been carrying around in a suitcase or some such thing. Steve was throwing the food trays at the robots with deadly accuracy and the rest of the people were either screaming their heads off or taking pictures of the fight.
Doom was still laughing in his corner untouched by the disaster around him. There was a crash and a doombot crashed through the skylight. It was holding a small blue square in its hand and was heading to Doom.
Fury's phone rang. "I'm a little busy," he shouted as he answered the phone. "What!" Half of the Avengers turned to look at him. "What do you mean the Tesseract is missing?" He looked up and cursed. "Head's up Doom's got the Tesseract, detain him."
"Too late Director," Doom said a slight sneer in his voice as he took the object from the robot.
"Master Loki," F.A.D.E. said, "I'm in, what should I use?"
"Just use anything," Loki said rapidly. "Initiate the sequence."
Mr. Stark shot toward the man in the silver mask they called Dr. Doom. The villain lifted his left hand to blast him when F.A.D.E. broke in.
"Program 458 initiated Master Loki," F.A.D.E. said as music suddenly flooded the area. All the robots and Dr. Doom froze in place. Stark grabbed the Tesseract quickly then blinked.
"Hey boss I think this is another robotic version of Doom. Wonder why he froze up."
"Stark don't go any closer," Fury ordered as Stark took a step closer. Suddenly Doom and all the remaining doombots came back to live. Stark jumped back, one of his hands glowing with energy. It was not needed because as the music entered the room the robots started to dance.
"Am I seeing things," Stark asked, "Because I'm seeing Dr. Doom dancing the Macarena."
"No I'm with you," Natasha said watching the show, "Dr. Doom is definitely doing the Macarena. Now does anyone know why he's dancing?"
