A/N: Yay, I'm back! And I'm back on track, with some funnies, and feelings. :D
The Avengers, Loki, Iron Man, or anything of the like. Just the thoughts inside my head, and Kaia, Gabby, and Nathan. And taking some personal freedoms with mythology and lore.
Tony and Nathan stood at the window and watching Gabby and Steve out on the balcony, while Loki and Kaia watched the two men. "What are they doing?" Kaia whispered to Loki.
"I wish I knew," Loki answered, crossing his arms over his chest. "I never know why your father does anything he does."
"We're watching to make sure that nothing happens," Tony responded without turning to look at them.
"After last time they got all comfy close, we wouldn't want them to get another talk from Fury," Nathan continued.
"He's just like Daddy," Kaia suddenly said, her eyes going a little wide. Loki only snorted and smirked. "I've been best friends with my Daddy!"
"And what's wrong with that?" Tony glanced over his shoulder.
"You're crazy," Kaia frowned a little and Loki laughed.
"She's right," Loki said as Tony opened his mouth. "Remember how we met?"
"Which time? When I beat you? Yes I remember that," Tony smirked a little. "I came in with my own theme song."
"I was referring to the time I threw you out of a window," Loki countered and Tony's smile fell.
"He threw you out of a window?" Nathan turned to look at Tony. "What did you do?"
"He mouthed off to me, then told me I had performance issues," Loki responded.
"To be fair, you were trying to take over the Earth." Tony wasn't going down without a fight. Kaia and Nathan were looking back and forth from Tony to Loki, not sure if any of it was true.
"Yes, and not a single one of you knew what I was up to until it was almost too late," Loki chuckled a little. "The only thing that's changed is that now my schemes are now helping you."
"I think you're giving yourself too much credit." Tony pointed at his lover.
"Wait, you used to be evil?" Nathan blinked a little.
"Oh yes, quite evil," Loki grinned. "I said some very nasty things, and ruled Asgard for a brief time. In fact I almost killed Phil-"
"Agent," Tony corrected.
"He was horrible!" Thor boomed as he walked into the room and Kaia and Nathan jumped a little. "I do believe he tried to kill me multiple times."
"Yes, well, you're still here," Loki stated. "I must not have tried too hard." Thor laughed and clapped a hand on Loki's shoulder.
"I'm the daughter of a super villain?" Kaia exclaimed looking between the men, Gabby and Steve forgotten.
"Ex-villain," Loki pointed out. "I couldn't very well keep being a villain around the Avengers."
"It probably didn't help that you had been exiled to Midgard," Tony smirked a little. "And I was so generous to let you stay at my place."
"Generous? Thor practically had to beg," Loki kicked his leg at Tony's, hitting his knee. "It took you two weeks to look at me without glaring."
"It took Clint two months to even look at you, period," Tony reminded him. Loki seemed to let out a wistful sigh.
"Yes, those were the days weren't they?" Loki tried to pull away from Thor when Tony hit his shoulder. He chuckled and ducked away. "Of course Tony had to go and be brave and noble and save the entire human race."
"Tony?" Nathan looked at Loki then to Tony. "Him alone?"
"Well-"
"At the very end," Thor nodded.
"Now before we go down that rabbit hole, it should be noted that none of us really got along very well," Tony said. "And that means we should stop story time."
"You mean stop before you tell them how we actually hated each other, and then you just Had to prove me wrong?" The turned to see Steve and Gabby standing in the doorway from the balcony.
"Story time!" Nathan and Kaia said together.
"They almost made a movie about it," Gabby pointed out and the Avengers that had been assembled turned to glare at her. "What? I did my research on it. It would have been a blockbuster hit!" Gabby quickly moved away before Steve could put his arm around her to drag her away.
"Who would have played them?" Kaia followed her cousin, both her and Nathan ready to defend her.
"Well, Steve would have been played by-"
"No!" All the men yelled at the same time.
"This is not something that needs to be explored," Loki spoke up.
"You're right," Nathan nodded and Kaia looked at him. "We need to know what happened between Tony and Steve first." The trio turned to look at the two men in question.
"He flew a nuke into space and almost didn't make it back," Steve suddenly pointed at Tony.
"You are such a sell out," Tony hit Steve's shoulder. "It was your fault."
"It was not," Steve defended.
"You said that I wasn't a hero, and that I could never be the one to, how did you put it? Ah yes, lay on the wire to let the other guy crawl over me," Tony smirked a little.
"I hadn't exactly been able to acclimate tot he times yet, and I was still measuring you up to your father." Tony rolled his eyes a little. "You didn't exactly make it easy on me."
"Nope, sure didn't," Tony seemed proud of the moment.
"So, who would have played them in the movie?" Kaia and Nathan turned back to Gabby.
"Chris Evans would have been Steve," Gabby grinned. "He could pull it off, too."
"He was good in Scott Pilgrim," Nathan commented.
"Chris Hemsworth would have been Thor, Jeremy Renner for Clint, Scarlett Johansson who had already played Natasha in Iron Man 2," Gabby started counting on her fingers. "So of course Uncle Tony would have been played by Robert Downey Jr again, and Gwenyth Paltrow as Aunt Pepper, and Clark Gregg as Uncle Phil. Mark Ruffalo would have been Bruce, and Tom Hiddleston would have played Uncle Loki."
"And Samuel L Jackson as Fury?" Their eyes widened in hope, and Gabby nodded.
"Wait, wasn't Tom Hiddleston a ginger those years ago?" Kaia asked, thinking. "He would have looked nothing like Dad."
"Someone who see it!" Loki exclaimed.
"There are pictures," Gabby grinned. "They all look like twins. Uncle Tony and uncle Loki are even hiding the pictures they have when they all met the actors."
"You guys met them?" Kaia turned to look at her family.
"You know Sherlock Holmes," Nathan murmured. "Does that mean you know Jude Law, too?"
"You're never going to meet them, so you should forget any of this was ever said." Tony told them, his arms crossed over his chest. "And another thing-" Tony was interrupted by a sudden explosion of sand and water outside of the house. They all instinctively sucked their heads and the Avengers in the room suddenly turned.
"Time to get the others," Steve muttered as he ran from the room, Thor behind him.
"You three, get somewhere safe," Tony pointed as he and Loki ran out of the room.
"I'll get one of Tony's cars, it's on the opposite side of the house so we should be able to get away," Nathan said as they moved away from the windows and doors. There was another explosion closer to the mansion this time and the three ran from the room, close to the ground. "I might be able to find something else down there that could help."
"Go," Gabby hissed and pushed Nathan towards the stairs. She kept Kaia behind her as they moved away from the windows. She hoped that Nathan knew what he was doing down in Tony's lab.
"I think Uncle Steve is downstairs," Kaia whispered to her cousin as they moved slowly, trying not to draw the attention of the beasts outside.
Gabby nodded a little and took a breath. She grabbed Kaia's hand and turned with her, heading down the main stairs. Moving ahead of Kaia she looked and saw no one on the main floor, but could tell that there had already been a fight there. "If we can get to the car port door then Nathan should meet us there." Kaia nodded as they moved towards the door.
Looking outside she could see that the fight had moved to the side of the mansion and Gabby quickly pulled Kaia out the door. As they ran they saw Captain America turn the corner, a look of relief in his eyes for a second. The ground suddenly cracked between them and Gabby and Kaia stopped short.
"I am tired of people running off with what I want," they turned to see Hela walking towards the girls. Gabby pulled Kaia behind her as Steve started running towards them again. Hela waved her hand and the ground under Gabby's feet shifted, lifting her and throwing her back and Steve caught her quickly in his arms.
"Gabby!" Kaia turned but stopped when the crack in the ground between them started to grow. Steve pulled Gabby back with stalagmites started to rise up around them, trapping them.
"Leave her alone!" Gabby yelled out. Kaia ran to the side as Hela approached her but cut off as more spikes rose from the ground to block her. Something suddenly landed between Hela and Kaia and they looked up. Nathan was standing there with some kind of blaster in his hands. It glowed like Iron Man's repulsors but had been condensed to be used without the suit.
"That was just to get your attention," Nathan growled out.
"You are becoming as much of a pain as the others," Hela growled out at him. Nathan glared and charged up the blaster again. As he shot it at her she disappeared. Steve looked behind him and Gabby caught the movement. She could see Iron Man headed for their location and knew the others wouldn't be far behind.
Nathan dropped the blaster and started running towards Kaia. He was suddenly stopped when he ran headlong into Hela, who had grabbed his arms. He heard the others yell out at him but he felt frozen in place.
"Hela, let the boy go!" Tony hovered above her, glowing hands trained on her. "There are too many variables for you to calculate, you'll never get what you want."
Hela suddenly smirked, still looking at Nathan. She turned her head to look at Tony then flicked her wrist. The ground under Gabby and Steve's feet started to crumble and Steve wrapped his arm around Gabby to hold her close. "Who will you save first? Your daughter, your teammate, or this boy? Choose wisely, you only get to help one."
Tony's eyes widened and he was glad the suit was covering his facial expression. "Don't even consider us, Tony!" Steve yelled at him. "We'll be fine!" He held Gabby tighter as the ground shifted again. Tony looked over to Nathan and saw that he was looking at Kaia.
"Make your choice!" Hela yelled and Tony moved instantly. He flew forward and wrapped an arm around Kaia before pushing off the rocky spires and rocketing towards Hela and Nathan. Kaia reached out for Nathan and grasped his hand for a second before he disappeared with Hela.
Gabby screamed as the ground gave way and they started to fall. Steve curled around her slightly and held his shield over their heads.
Tony tried to turn and put his back towards the house as the momentum carried him and Kaia through the glass until he hit the ground. "Tony!" He looked up to see Natasha running towards them. He pushed himself up slowly as Natasha helped Kaia up. "Where's Steve?"
"Shit," Tony growled as he boosted himself back outside and over to the stalagmite protected hole in the ground. He started punching at the spires to break them down. "Steve! Steve!" he started yelling through the comm line. He took a couple steps back and blasted the rock, starting to chip away at it. He need to break them away so that the rest of the team could help."Dammit Rogers! You two better be okay!"
