Writer's Note: So..umm..somehow this chapter got full of angst. I have no idea how that happened but I hope you enjoy it. Don't worry. The angst is only this chapter. We return to all the crack goodness next chapter.

Warnings: Angst. From both Tony and Loki. I'm surprised to but my feelings got away from me and it happened. Sorry? Anyway the crack goodness is till here. So is the homosexuality and talking tree. Got a problem with any of that please don't flame and just push the black button okay?

Pairings(That this Fic will focus on): Tony/Steve, Loki/Thor, and one sided! Chekhov/Steve.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the avengers. The only people I own are the narrator and Chekhov. And one is a talking tree. Yay?

Chapter Six-In which Loki becomes A avenger

"Tony wake up!"

Blinking, Tony slowly opened his eyes and all he saw was blue. Steve was leading over him, so close that Tony could count each one of his lashes if he wanted.

"Tony are you okay?" Steve said, as he bend back a little to allow Tony to sit up.

"I'm fine, so where are we now?" Tony asked, taking a moment to look around at his surroundings. It appeared that he and Steve(and Loki who appeared to be holding a potted plant) where in a teenage girl's room.

Posters of handsome men covered the blue walls, and to his side were a pile of teddy bears.

"Okay. We appear to be in the room of a teenage girl..and where is Thor?"

Steve frowned, "We don't know. We think the narrator separated us again."

Loki glared up at the ceiling, "My brother better be alright or I will personally track the narrator down and rip out his eyes."

"Calm your hormones Loki, your brother is fine." The Narrator boomed out.

The group jumped up at his voice. Though it was Tony that spoke up, "So what story are you going to make us take part in this time?"

"Well if I told you that would ruin all the fun. Just answer the phone once it rings and you know what story this is."

Sure enough, after the narrator had finished speaking, the phone went off. Steve(being the closest) answered it.

"Hello?"

"Is this the babysitters club?" Said a woman's voice.

"Ummm..Yes?"

"Good. I was wondering if you girls would be a doll and look after my Thor for me?"

"Of course! We'll be right there!"

Loki and Tony watched from the background, as Steve nodded his head at something the other person said before hanging up.

"So what story are we in?" Tony asked, noticing Steve's confused face.

"We are a babysitters club..and I found Thor."

Before Tony could say anything about that information, Loki jumped up(dropping the plant) and grasped Steve's arm.

"WHERE. ?"

"Thor is at a house three blocks from here..but Loki there is something you need to know.."

Loki, naturally, didn't stay to listen and was up out of the room so fast that Tony was sure he saw a smoke could come up behind him.

Steve signed, before getting up himself, "Well we better go after him. He isn't going to like what part he has Thor playing..."

Tony stood and blinked at him, "What part is it?"

Steve sighed again, "Well if we are the babysitter's club..we would need children to look after.."

"NO WAY. He turned Thor into a kid?" Tony couldn't help but be a little amazed by the narrator's guts. Just last story Loki had found out that Thor was his true love but before he could tell him they were sent to another world. In which Thor was a child and unable to return his feelings. 'That is kind of cruel. Poor loki.'

Tony went to leave the room but stopped when he noticed that Steve was behind him. "Um, Steve shouldn't we get going?" He turned his head around to look back and nearly had a heart attack.

Steve was bend over, his ass high in the air, as he picked up the potted plant. Tony, unashamed stare longingly.

Steve was oblivious(because OF COURSE), as he stood back up and turn to face Tony. "Well we can't leave without Chekhov."

At the name Tony snapped out of his lustful state, "That potted plant is Chekhov? Woah dude what happened to you?" He addressed the plant.

Chekhov snorted, "Well we aren't in the forest anymore, so I needed to take a different form to fit into this world. The potted plant was the first form I though of."

Steve smiled down at the plant, "And it is a lovely form."

Tony may have imaged it but it almost looked like the plant was blushing.

"Thank you Cap. Well lets go and save some poor story person from Loki's rage."

So the two(plus plant) went off.

Three blocks later, the two(plus plant) found Loki. He was standing in someone's front garden holding a smaller Thor in his arms.

They rushed over, but it seemed both were fine. Though Loki look very sadden by something.

"Loki did something happen? Is Thor alright?" Steve asked worryingly. Looking at Thor to check for any scars.

Thor's head came up from Loki's chest, a wide smile on his face, "Hello there! My name is Thor! I'm five! Who are you guys?"

'Oh that..that is just way to cruel.' Tony cried, he felt even worst for Loki now.

Thankfully Steve jumped to action, before the silence could kill again. "My name is Steve, and this is Tony and Chekhov."

Thor laughed, "Its nice to meet you! Are you guys all here to play with me?"

Steve smiled, bending down to be eye to eye with Thor. "Of course, but before that why don't we get you something to eat okay?"

"Okay!" Thor said happily, jumping up from Loki's arms and rushing to the house. Steve stayed on his knees and turned to place a hand on Loki's shoulders.

"Are you going to be okay?"

Loki smiled(but it was so fake that even Chekhov flinched), "I'll be fine. Its just..seeing my brother this small reminds me alot..of times I wish not to remember."

Steve just petted Loki's arm some more, "Its okay Loki. We'll play our parts and get out of this world quickly. But for now we have a child to care for. Not just any child..but Thor."

Loki nodded, seemingly to agree with him, "Your right." He stood and made his way into the house, "I can't allow my feelings to control me. Just because Thor can not remember me now..."

He looked so sad at the notion, and Steve reached out and hugged him. "Its only for a short time Loki."

Loki nodded and walked though the house door, calling over his shoulder, "You are a good man Captain. Thank you."

Tony was just amazed and stared at Steve, "How did you do that? You just bonded with LOKI!"

Steve laughed, making his way to the house, "Loki is Thor true love and that means he is a avenger now. I must do all I can to help out my teammates and insure their happiness."

Tony felt his love for Steve raise in his chest, "You really are something else you know that. Most people wouldn't just help, or accept, a former villain like that."

Steve just smiled, before vanishing inside.

Tony followed after, wishing with all his heart that he could take Steve into his arms. Every time Steve did something like this Tony was reminded why he fallen in love with him.

Chekhov let out a dreamy sign, "What a man."

Tony glared down at the plant, "That is my man so step off."

Chekhov moved a leaf, "Sorry but you can't blame me."

No he couldn't. As Tony stood in that kitchen, watching Steve and Loki make Thor a snack. He was hit with a feeling of jealously over Loki.

Why? Because Loki had gotten to have Steve's arm around him and all Tony has gotten is a pat on the shoulder.

"Tony you want anything?" Steve asked with a smile, holding up a knife.

"Sure."

So he stood there wishing Steve would just hold him. As Thor tried to talk Loki into cutting his sandwich into a smile face. Unaware that the narrator was plotting something more. Something that would help him. Something that would finally get the two together.

He was unaware because the narrator really didn't want people to know he was a good guy. He(it) sighed as he watched the scene unfold. He had a lot of work ahead. 'Why are these too stubborn? Why can't they admit they love each other already?'

'Well better set the plot moving..lets get all the avengers together now..'

"Sorry to brake the moment. Which I am not. But Thor isn't the only kid you'll be watching!"

The gang glared up at the ceiling, "What do you mean?" Steve asked.

"All the other avengers have been turned into kids too!"

"What?" Tony shouted, "You want us to take care of that many kids?"

"Yup! ENJOY!"

And so the scene faded, with Tony swearing up at the ceiling. Steve trying and failing to cover Thor' ears and Loki wondering why he even turned good for this.

Chekhov just waved his leafs. Because he is a plant and that is what plants do.
