"Your just gonna walk to our table and wave, ok son?" TJ pouted. "But everyone is gonna be watching me." He saw how scared Quinn looked to. They were smart, knowing there would be alot more people here then at the ceremony. People they didn't know and that made them nervous. Tony smiled, kissing his head then kissing Quinns head. "You'll both be fine. Your gonna have Clint and Gage with you guys. All you have to do is walk and wave until you get to your seat." Quinn spoke. "And that's it?" Tony smiled. "Thats it princess." Coulson suddenly entered from the reception area, which was bright with light and people. " , there ready for you." Tony nodded., getting back to Kim, holding her hand. TJ was going to be the first out. Clint was next to him. Clint smiled down to him. "Hey, it'll be ok. Your gonna be a S.H.I.E.L.D Agent someday right?" TJ nodded, starting to stand straighter, puffing out his chest. Kim smiled, shaking her head. Suddenly the door opened Clint leading TJ out as he got announced. "Now entering, ring bearer, TJ Stark!" People clapped and took pictures, TJ struggled not to hide behind Clint but he stood tall, waving but once he got close enough to the table he ran, sitting down.

Next was Quinn but she saw so many people she didn't know, hiding behind Gage's leg. He chuckled, picking her up, waving, getting her to wave as well as she was announced. "Flower girl and little genius, Quinn Stark!" She waved as he carried her to the table, setting her down as she sat. Next was Tony and Kim, there arms interlocked as Coulson and Ward opened the door. "Father and mother of the bride, Mr. Tony Stark and wife, Kim Stark!" Kim waved weakly. These things made her nervous. They got to there seats, getting her seat out for her. Next everyone stood, Katie having her arm linked with Steve.'s She smiled, excited to see what awaited them. "I am happy to introduce, Mr and Mrs. Captain Steven Rodgers." Everyone stood, clapping, taking pictures. Katie waved. "Wow, more of a turnout then I thought." Steve smiled. "Do we even know half these people?" Katie chuckled. "probably not." Steve helped her to the table, pulling her chair out for her. Soon it died down and food was coming out to people.

Quinn saw her plate had a little toy tiara on it, on TJ's a little toy crown. She smiled. "Hey, they gave us crowns!" Clint saw it to, chuckling. Putting the crown on TJ. "A crown for the prince?" TJ huffed, taking it off. "I'm not a prince. I'm a warrior." Clint held his hands up with a smile. "Alright, got it." Quinn smiled. "I'm not an a real princess." Gage smiled. "Your not. Well then.. I guess if it fits..." He put the toy tiara on his head. Quinn giggled. "Your silly!" Off on another table, Skye, Simmons and Fitz were all talking. Well Simmons was talking, looking at the bridal table. "Oh look how gorgeous her dress is. I wish I could even come close to affording it. It must have cost her a small fortune." Fitz spoke up, sipping his water "Shes Tony Starks daughter. I'm sure a cost like that is chump change. Wouldn't make a dent." "Not the point...oh my God..." Simmons was looking over across from them. Whispering harshly. "Thats Johnny Depp. He's here." Skye even gaped a little at that. Fitz shrugged. "Again, he's Tony Stark, he's probably besties with every celebrity." Skye slapped Simmons shoulder. "Look over there, Thats Alec Baldwin...and Good Lord Taylor Swift? Did he invite every celebrity?" Fitz shrugged. "Apparently so."

Everyone was halfway thru there meals when Tony stood up, using the microphone. "uh excuse me. I don't mean to interrupt your dinner. But I have some very important things to say." Everyone stopped, watching him. Tony sighed. "Well, as father of the bride, it's customary to give a speech and I'm gonna do my best. I told Pepper once that I'm a lot of things, sentimental isn't one of them. Well I was wrong, about myself. I am. I've become a sentimental teddy bear because of my family. I couldn't ask for better, I don't want o ask for better. Katie showed up on my doorstep, soaking wet, shivering with a tattered suitcase in hand. I invited her in and found out she had been a runaway from her abusive home since she was eight. She was 14 when she found me. I couldn't let her go back out in the rain. I adopted her and yes she may have been a pain at times, I still love her more then anything and would do anything for her." Tony looked to Katie, he smiled sadly, seeing happy tears in her eyes. " Love you sweetie. Your still gonna be my little girl, no matte how old you get." Katie sniffled, standing and hugging tony. "I love you to dad." Once the speech was over, people went back to eating. The dance floor now open up to the people.

While they were eating Thor started to approach the bridal table, nearly dragging along his little brother. Loki was only about 6 years old, Thor got him free for the night, so long as he follows the rules as if he were on Asgard. No food except bread and water, limited social contact. Loki grumbled as he held his brothers hand nearly drowning his own little hand. "Let me go now brother. I wish to stay at our table." He was dressed in a dark green tunic like suit. It was formal wear on Asgard. Thor continued to hold Loki's hand. "I have to keep you with me at all times brother. I am just going to wish the Starks well." Loki grumbled as he came to a stop at the table. Tony smiled. "Thor, hey." Thor smiled. "Hello Man of Iron. You have put together a lovely feast." While they talked, TJ was looking at Loki curiously, getting up, going to him. "Hi. I'm TJ." Loki looked to him before glaring then looking away from him. TJ smiled weakly. "Can you tell me your name?" "No. I cannot." TJ frowned. "Why?" Loki glared. "Because I do not wish to know you. Now leave me be." Thor knelled down. "Brother, be nice. Tell him your name." Loki looked at TJ with a glare. "My name is Loki." TJ smiled. "Loki? Thats a weird name." Loki gaffed at that. "Weird? And yours is better? There merely two letters." Thor sighed. "Brother, please, behave, remember what all-father said." Loki tensed at this, swallowing, then nodding.

TJ smiled weakly. "Wanna go play?" Thor smiled, gently nudging his brother, knowing he needed this. "Go ahead brother." Loki nodded, going with TJ. Clint following, making sure they didn't get hurt. Tony swallowed, looking to Thor. "Loki?" Thor frowned. "He is harmless. I assure you. After the battle the All-father turned him infant, forcing him to regrow back to his original age, starting over." Tony nodded relaxing. TJ smiled, suddenly tagging Loki. "Tag! Your it!" Then starting to run. Loki looked confused. "What? Why am I "it"? What is this game?" TJ smiled, going back. "Your it. That means you chase me, then tap me, then I'm it and I chase you." Loki nodded, quickly tapping his shoulder, running off. TJ grinned, running after him. Clint had a hard time keeping up.

For the first time in along time, Loki caught himself laughing as he ran. Then TJ tapped his shoulder. "Tag! Your it!" Loki giggled, going after him. Clint then managed to catch them. "Hey! No! No running!" Loki looked terrified but saw TJ just looked annoyed. TJ grumbled. "Aww.." He sighed. "What do we do then?" Clint sighed. "Anything but running, got it? You could get hurt." TJ nodded. "Got it sir." He looked to loki then saw they were severing food. "Com'on, I know something we can do." He grabbed Loki's hand, dragging him with him. Loki glared. "Where are you taking me?" TJ smiled. "There! They have all kinds of yummy foods here!" Loki swallowed his fear down. "But I'm not hungry." TJ pouted, looking. "Not even a little. I promise, I won't get you a lot." Loki frowned. He found he couldn't say no. "Just...a little." He hoped All-father wouldn't find out.

TJ got them food, going to a little cornor to eat, handing Loki a plate. "Here." Loki took the plate which had fried chicken and fries on it. TJ was nearly inhaling his food while Loki has yet to touch any. The thought of it brought tears to his eyes. TJ saw this, wiping his mouth on his sleeve. "Loki? Whats wrong?" Loki sniffled looking away. "No. don't look at me." TJ frowned, going to hold his face. "Loki, whats wrong?" Loki sniffled. "On Asgard, where I'm from. I'm not allowed food. Only bread and water. I have not known such luxuries as these or kindness." TJ's eyes widened."They starve you?" Loki shook his head. "No. just enough to keep me alive. I am not allowed the pleasures of food. And if All-father..Odin finds out I have..." His lip trembled, starting to curl into himself. TJ put there plates to the side, hugging him. "But your dad isn't here, he won't know?" Loki sniffled, shaking his head. "I suppose." TJ smiled, handing him his plate back. "Please, eat. You need it more then me." Loki sniffled, taking a fry in his hand, eating it, his eyes widening. It was amazing. Salty and greasy and nothing hes ever had. He inhaled them, eating them then moving on to the chicken, which was even better. Actual meat. He can't remember ever having it.

TJ smiled, watching, getting him more. "Here." Loki smiled gratefully, eating that food as well. He had no idea just how hungry he was. Finally they cut the cake and TJ brought two slices over for them. "Here. This is amazing." Loki looked at it with longing before dipping his fork in and eating a bite. His eyes closing. "Oh my ..what is this amazing food?" TJ giggled. "It's cake." Loki ate it within a few seconds. TJ smiled, feeling better that he's eaten something. "Do you like dancing?" Loki looked at him confused. "Dancing? Why would I do that?" TJ pouted. "Because it's fun." Loki nodded then shook his head. "I do not wish t dance." "Why?" TJ whined. Loki half glared, not able to stay mad at him. "Because I do not know how." TJ smiled, standing, taking his hand. "com'on then. I'll teach you." Loki swallowed nervously. It was a slow song. "wrecking ball." TJ smiled. "Hey, I know this song. It's really cool." TJ got him tot he dance floor, putting his hands on his waist. "Now you put your hands on my shoulders." Loki did as he was told, listening to the song. He wanted to remember everything about this night. "Could...could this be our song?" TJ smiled. "Yeah! That would be cool! That way when we hear it, we'll think of each other!" Loki smiled, feeling light and happy for the first time in his little life.

Clint saw this, going and sitting by Tony, pointing them out. Clint smiled. "Think he'll be?" Tony got what he was saying, implying with or not his son would grow up to be gay or bi and he didn't care either way. He smiled. "Possibly but as long as he's happy, does it matter?" Clint smiled. "Not one bit."

Loki half way thru the song leaned against TJ, hugging him. He didn't want to go back to Asgard. He wanted to stay here with his new friend. He felt safe and happy and never wanted to leave. TJ smiled, holding him close as he swayed with him. He wanted to protect him from his dad, feed him until he was healthy and make sure he was happy.

Soon the reception was dying down and Thor came to his little brother who was still in TJ's embrace as they talked, cuddled in a cornor. "Brother, I am sorry but we have to go." TJ pouted. "Can't he stay longer?" Thor knelled down. "I'm afraid not little warrior. His home is on Asgard. Perhaps you will meet paths again." Loki felt his eyes well up as he got out of TJ's hold, when he stood TJ held his hand, standing. "Please don't go." Loki sniffled, looking at him. "I have to. I'm sorry." TJ kept his hold. "No! You can stay with us!" Loki glared, knowing he would have to be harsh to be kind. He didn't want the all father to hurt him. "Let go of me." TJ didn't let go, looking scared. "Loki.." Loki sniffled. "I'm sorry. I have to go. I should have never come here." TJ didn't let go. Loki glared, looking at him. "I wish I never met you." TJ let go, tears starting to fall. Thor shook his head, taking Loki away. Loki had two little tears fall down his face. Why did he have to meet him? Why couldn't he stay?

TJ watched, starting to cry. Tony saw this, going over. "Son, whats wrong?" TJ was crying hard, wiping his face on his sleeves. "Loki left. H-he said he wishes he n-never met me. I J-just wanted to be h-his friend." Tony picked him up, trying to calm him. "Shh it's ok. You'll see him again." Tony had no idea if he would or not. He just wanted him to stop crying. It broke his heart seeing his son so upset. TJ hugged around his dads shoulders, crying hard into his suit.

Thor arrived back on Asgard with Loki, his little face tear stained. Thor started to escort him to his room when Odin appeared, looking very angry. Thor looked at him "Father,the feast went well-" "I am quite aware how good it went." He glared at Loki. "You know your place and yet you've disobeyed. This is why I do not let you out." He looked to Thor. "Hand him to me." Loki was already shaking in fear, trying to hide behind Thor. Thor glared. "I will do no such thing." Odin glared. "Then I shall take him." He roughly grabbed Loki's arm, getting him out of Thor's hold with a yelp of pain. Thor followed as Odin dragged Loki down the hall. "Father stop this madness! He is only a child!" Odin glared. "A child with much evil in him. it must be purged and fasted." He arrived to the royal commodes, forcing Loki down to the toilet, crying and shivering. Thor went to step in, already summoning his hammer until Odin glared. "You use that on me boy then it will be the last you use it." Thor stopped. He couldn't have his hammer taken away again. He had a duty to Asgard, to Midguard and his Avengers. His eyes watered, going to stand outside. He couldn't watch. Once outside he heard the forced retching from Loki mixing with sobs of pain and misery and sick. Thor felt his own eyes well over, tears falling down his face as his lip trembled. He cried silently for his brother. Vowing one day to save him from his "home".

Once Odin was done, he left the room, glaring at Thor. Thor went in quickly, going to his brothers side. He was laid on the cold floor in front of the toilet, it smelled of vomit and urine, no doubt Loki may have not be able to hold his bladder in such a state. Thor gently held his brother. Loki jumped, looking at Thor, his lip trembling, dried vomit on his chin and cloths. Thor kissed his head, gently picking him up, carrying his frail form to the golden bathtub, starting a bath of warm water. He may not be able to stop it, not yet but he can be there for him every second he needs him. "Hush brother...you are safe now." He undressed Loki, placing the cloths to the side in a clothing hamper to be washed. He gently placed Loki in the bath, starting to wash him gently. Loki looked head, his eyes wide with fear and disbelief. Thor spoke softly. "speak brother, what are you thinking?" Loki swallowed. "That boy. TJ... I've met him. He's arrived in my room before, unexpectedly. Told me such silly things like being loved and safe one day. I thought it was only a dream." Thor smiled softly, sadly, wondering if this story was true. "Do you believe him?" Loki looked down. "Yes. I must be silly."

Tony and the rest arrived home. TJ sniffling the whole way home. Once parked, Tony carried him to his room, behind him with a frown. "What happened?" Tony sighed. "He met a friend at the wedding but his friend had to go home." TJ sniffled, crying quietly into his dads shoulder. "His name was Loki and now he might be getting punished because of me." Kim's eyes widened at the name, Tony talked. "I'll explain after I get him settled." She nodded, watching as they went up the stairs, her heart breaking for her son.

Tony got TJ settled and asleep which wasn't as hard as he thought, he was exhausted. He walked down the stairs, pulling at his tie, loosening it. He saw Kim in the kitchen, Gage in the living room with Quinn, watching Spongebob, Clint must be getting ready for patrol and he knew were Steve and Katie were. She saw him walk in, she smiled sadly. "So, Loki? How is that possible?" Tony sighed, sitting. "apparently for his punishment, Odin made him an infant, forcing him to grow again, basicly restarting. I'm guessing his home life isn't good, told TJ and now TJ's all upset he lost his friend and can't protect him." Kim frowned. "Poor thing." She wasn't sure which she was more sympathetic for.

AN:I had to add Agent Fitz and Simmons In there. Also wrecking ball only because it fits them. Trust me, it'll make sense. Review please!
