A/N: Time frame wise, this is set 8 years after Burning Curve, for reference. :)
So updates might be a little slow as I deal with some big personal stuff. If you're interested you can read about it at my Tumblr. megaranoelle . tumblr . com
I don't own The Avengers, Loki, Iron Man, or anything of the like. Just the thoughts inside my head. And taking some personal freedoms with mythology and lore.
"Sooooo," Kaia let the word drag out as she smiled at Sander. They were sitting in the living room along with Tomas, Melisande and Loki. Melisande had burrowed between Saner and Kaia. Tony had dragged Nathan with him somewhere in the house, telling the others they weren't allowed to follow. "When is Fay going to show up?"
Sander, once again looking male, rolled his eyes. "If I had my way, never."
"Too bad you were discovered by Dad," Tomas threw in.
"You were trying to take me out," Sander shot over to his brother. Tomas shut his mout as Loki and Kaia snorted with laughter. Sander let out a little sigh. "I'm going to pick up Fay in a few hours." Melisande seemed to grin as she listened that she was going to finally going to meet Fay.
"So they know about your powers?" Kaia asked with interest. Sander just nodded. "I've noticed that you haven't told us if Fay is female or male." Sander hummed and nodded again. "You're really getting on my nerves with this." Sander smiled this time.
"Alright," Tony's voice called out. "I have two special, little, visitors, and one of them has been waiting to see his other Papa." Tony walked out, smiling, holding onto a four month old little boy. Nathan was walking behind him before managing to slip away and sit next to Kaia. Eindride walked in next, holding onto Key.
Loki's eyes lit up when he saw Cyrus in Tony's arms. He reached out to take the babe, planting little kisses on his cheeks. Cyrus giggled a little, wiggling happily in his arms. "Such an energetic one he is. You are a lucky one to have the mother you do. We tried with your father, we did."
"Hey!" Eindride let out a little pout, then looked down at Key. "As you get older, I hope you give them hell."
"Shush, child," Tony said as he sat next to Loki and their grandson. "I hope Cyrus gains his mother's fire abilities, and burns your clothes." Eindride's jaw dropped a little.
Loki smiled when Cryus let out a pleased laugh when green birds flew in front of his face. He reached out the for the birds as Loki created a few more. "Perhaps one day you will be able to do that. Where is your mother hm? Did she entrust you with your father's safety?"
"Tell your Papa that Mom is currently catching up on some sleep," Eindride supplied.
"And she left you on your own?" Kaia smirked at him. "With the life of a small boy as well, how brave." Nathan tried to hide his face in his wife's shirt, attempting to clock his laugh.
"You know, I am able to run a multi-billion dollar company" Eindride shot at his sister and brother-in-law. "I was able to do it while blind at one point as well."
"Are you comparing your child to Stark Industries?" Tomas raised his eyebrow with a smirk.
"SI was my baby at one point," Tony piped up. Six head turned to look at him. "At one point, and that was before I met your father."
"Of course," Loki smirked a little. "You have been born into a very interesting family," Loki said, still looking at his grandson.
"Alright, let me see him, I want to shower him with affection now." Tony was making grabby hands at his husband. "You can shower our newborn with love."
Loki couldn't argue as Tony took Cyrus from him, and Eindride put Key in his arms. Not that he would argue about it. "Hello, little Miss Aurora Keyri." Her eyes seemed to light up when he said her name. "You have had quite a journey getting to us. And I hear you've been talking to your older sister already, what a smart girl you're going to be, just like your siblings." Key let out a soft coo and reached her small hand out to grasp one of Loki's fingers.
"Dad almost looks harmless," Kaia commented as they watched Tony and Loki with the two youngest Starks. "One would find it hard to believe that he attempted to take over the Earth." Eindride, Tomas, and Sander looked at their sister, then over at Loki who was giving Key small smiles and kissing her fingers. "Did no one tell you?" Kaia and Nathan smirked.
"Make no mistake, I would raze this Realm if any harm ever came to her." Loki didn't look up as he spoke. The twins raised their eyebrows. "I am by no means on the side of heroes."
"Wait, you're evil?" Sander asked.
"You're a super villain?" Tomas elaborated.
"Not so much," Tony stepped in, sitting Cyrus in his lap. "He was, technically, but there were extenuating circumstances. Now he's just working towards his own selfish means." Tony smiled as he spoke.
"I think we're going to have to have story time when there are no little ears around," Tomas said, and Sander nodded.
"You'll have to be more specific about what story," Eindride told them. "There are stories about you two as well that are pretty interesting."
"Yeah, we need story time, definitely," Sander reiterated. "First about us, then about Dad being Evil."
"It seems that trouble follows them whenever they're about to have a baby," Nathan added, smirking a little and avoiding Tony and Loki's looks. "It's like every Stark has a birth story."
"Except for Emma," Kaia corrected her husband.
"Emma went through the triple wedding fiasco," Tony reminded. The twins raised their eyebrows even higher. Tony glanced over at Loki. "It's hard to decide who had it worse, sometimes. Except for that time when I was almost paralyzed. I definitely had it worse then." Loki snorted as Eindride winced in sympathy.
"Can we have story time when Fay comes?" Tony asked suddenly and Sander's eyes widened. "I think that would be a good test to see if they really want to date Sander."
"I'm going to make sure that no one ever wants to think about dating you." Tomas was only able to raise an eyebrow before Saner tackled him off of the couch.
