I want to repeat that the things that I have about Loki in here are actually legit. Except his childhood stories: those are my own creation. But the statistics I put in and the abilities are real from Marvel. The dude is totally badass. Like his main weakness is legit his inability to let go of his hang ups with Thor and others so his plans bite him in the ass.

Anyway, everyone applaud aa826 because she convinced me to post twice today and got me to get through this giant ass chapter. GO AA826!

Natasha dodged Clint's punch and roundhouse kicked him in the stomach. He grunted and moved back a few feet as he gripped his stomach. "You're worked up," he wheezed.

Natasha smiled sheepishly, she didn't mean to take her frustration out on Clint. It wasn't his fault and he didn't even know what was wrong. She was still on edge from being pinned down so easily by the God of Mischief. What bothered her even more was the fact that once she realized who it was, she had ceased struggling. She wasn't sure why, but both possible reasons bothered her. She could tell herself that she knew that she couldn't get out of Loki's grip-which bothered her. Or she could say that she liked being pinned by Loki.

Clint was knocked backward again by Natasha, "maybe we should take a break," Clint said from the floor.

Natasha nodded. She just needed to get the god out of her head. No more thinking about him or hanging near him.

"Agent Romanoff," she turned when she heard Director Fury's voice. Fury was marching across the gym to her.

Natasha had been waiting for him. When she got back this morning she had told him all the information she had received and that her cover had been blown.

"Mission?" Natasha asked.

"Target," Fury stated. "Studansky is too much of a threat. Find him before he realizes you are alive."

Natasha nodded. Studansky should be back at the club tonight. "I will leave tonight."

The doors slammed open and the three of them turned to see Bruce, Thor and Loki walk in.
"Remind me, why am I doing this?" Loki sighed.

Thor pulled off his bracers, "because it will be fun!"

"Your definition of 'fun' varies greatly from mine," Loki pulled off his tunic. "This is torture."

"Do you ever stop complaining?" Thor laughed and pulled off his own tunic.

"Okay," Bruce pulled out some white circles. "These go on you." Loki stopped and let Bruce put the little circles on his chest, arms and back. "These go on you," he did the same to Thor but added two at Thor's temple. "And this goes on your head." He handed a band to Loki.

"Why don't I get one of those?" Thor asked.

"It measures brain activity-" Bruce explained.

"Which you clearly lack," Loki put the band in place.

"Which Loki needs to use to create his magic, so we need a clearer image with him," Bruce looked between the two.

"Dare I ask?" Fury crossed his arms. The three looked over to him.

Bruce shifted his weight from foot to foot, "Tony and I got an idea that we want to try out." He looked over to Loki. "We want to see if magic is able to be detected. Maybe a wavelength or something."

"Boots off brother," Thor reminded Loki. Loki sighed and both of their boots vanished and popped up across the room. "Mine weren't magic."

"I'm not giving you any advantage," Loki crossed his arms.

"Tony and I," Bruce watched the brothers uneasily, "are going to watch from the viewing area," he pointed to a room that had tempered glass so that others could view the combatants. It was also designed to be a box that the Avengers could secure themselves in if there was a Hulk incident. "Loki and Thor are going to fight without magic and then fight with it. We're hoping that we can see a difference between the two."

"And you two are okay with this?" Natasha raised a brow.

"We're bored," Thor and Loki answered in unison. They immediately eyed each other.

"Well, I'm getting a front row seat to this," Clint grinned. "Kick his ass Thor."

Thor grinned at Loki.

"I get my magic in the second half."

Thor's smile vanished.

A few moments later, Natasha, Clint, Fury, Tony and Bruce had situated themselves in the box with a clear view to the brothers. Bruce grabbed a microphone, "Can you hear me?"

"Yes."

"Turning on equipment," Bruce pushed a few dials and Tony set the computer up. The glass projected two transparent bodies in front of them. Lights illuminated brain activity, and digits showed heart rates and adrenaline.

"This will be like when we were children!" Thor nearly bounced.

"Joy," Loki sighed.

"You are just angry because you were always paired with Sif," Thor frowned.

"Doesn't bother me now," Loki smirked.

Thor shook his head, "I thought she had taught you not to touch."

Loki shrugged, "one kick is not going to remove the memory of her ass."

Bruce touched the button on the microphone, "whenever you guys are ready." He watched as the adrenaline levels increased slightly.

Loki backed away from Thor as the older sibling stretched his arms out. A moment later Thor turned and headed for Loki, charging at full speed. Loki frowned and then charged as well. Right when Thor reached him, he shifted his weight to the side and used Thor's own force to send him sailing over his head and into the floor.

The thud made Loki chuckle.

"NO MAGIC!" Thor rose and held his nose.

Loki smirked, "that was simply transitivity and your predictability."

"You and your tricks," Thor rubbed his nose and then got into fighting stance.

"Ladies first," Loki crossed his arms.

Thor glared at him but attacked just the same. Loki deflected his first punch but was knocked back by the second punch. He was quick to retaliate and sent Thor flying back a few times.

"He's a lot stronger than I thought he was," Bruce commented.

Tony watched as Loki sent Thor sailing back again, "yeah…."

"Thor's not giving it his all," Fury frowned. "He can punch harder than that."
"I think it's because of his bracers," Bruce said. "Loki made a big deal about him removing them. He said that Thor would be too strong with them."

"He's also fighting smart." Natasha stated. "He's making Thor do all the work and then turning his attacks on him."

"Never fun to be on the receiving end of that," Clint sighed.

"Their heartbeats are up dangerously," Bruce commented, "but they're not breaking too much of a sweat."

Tony reached out and pulled the body of Thor's closer to him. With the interactive computer he was able to see more clearly. "I think their muscles are different."

"Different?" Fury asked without removing his eyes from the two gods. Thor was winning the fight but Loki was not letting him win easily.

"They're about three times as dense," Bruce said off handedly. Everyone looked at him which made Bruce pause, "Loki let me look at his wounds a few times to get them to heal. He let me remove some dead tissue and I inspected it." He fiddled with some of the mechanics, "They also weigh ridiculous amounts. Loki weighs 525 lbs."

Each one of them looked over to the leaner god. "Is that why he doesn't stop eating?" Fury asked.

"Well, their metabolism is quicker than ours but I think Loki's metabolism is just a bit above average for them as well. Thor commented on his hunger before."

"Are we recording this?" Clint grinned as Loki was sent flying across the room.

"Yes," Tony nodded. "Do you see the difference in brain activity?"

Bruce sighed, "yeah…" He grabbed the microphone. "I think that's good."

Both gods stopped and took deep breaths. Sweat was pouring down their foreheads and Loki was nearly limping from that last toss.

"How much does Thor weigh?" Natasha asked.

Bruce shrugged, "not sure. We can ask him later though."

Tony grabbed the microphone, "okay merlin, do your thing?"

Loki raised a brow at the weird name but didn't bother to ask. He smirked and looked to Thor, "my turn."

Tony frowned as he saw a giant increase in brain activity in Loki's while Thor had a surge of adrenaline. Twenty Loki's popped up next to Thor and Thor went to throw a punch at the nearest one but slipped on a patch of ice that formed underneath him. The Lokis laughed.

Thor sent a jolt of electricity around him and all the Lokis disappeared. "Out brother," Thor glanced around. "Show yourself!"

"Fine." Thor turned and was immediately jerked off of his feet. The shadows of the room had left their natural positions and had pulled him into midair. They wrapped around his body, effectively pinning him. Loki smirked and encircled Thor in water. Thor struggled against the restraints in the water without any progress.

"Is he drowning?" Fury reached back for his gun.

"Whatever he's doing, it's lighting up this damn sensor." Tony glanced between the scene in front of him and the technology.

Thor yelled inside the water, lighting it up with lightning and sent electric shocks out in sporadic bolts around the water encasement. Loki dodged the bolts and let the shadows dissolve which made Thor and the water fall to the ground.
Thor jumped up and sent more lightning. Loki used his magic to toss a metal barbell in front of him which deflected the attack.

Loki smirked at Thor which made the older god stop. He looked down to see tendrils of water coming up and turning into snakes. Thor shouted and ran from the snakes which made Loki burst into laughter.

"Get rid of them!" Thor shouted.

"NO!" Loki turned the small snakes into a Thor sized cobra.

Thor ran from the giant snake, "I will make you pay."
"You have no idea how funny this is!" Loki continued to laugh.

Fury blinked a few times, "is he…."

"Afraid of snakes?" Tony finished, "yeah, looks like."

"Stop or I will tell Fury!" Thor threatened.
Fury tilted his head.

"Like I care if Fury knows about some childish fear," Loki smirked. "Which I've had the common sense to outgrow."

The cobra lunged at Thor and he sent it flying with a punch.

"I'll tell Lady Natasha!"

Now that made Loki pause. Fury would laugh and threaten to use Loki's fear against him, but Natasha might just do it for fun. The snake immediately dissolved.

Thor paused to catch his breath.

"So he fears Natasha more than Fury," Bruce commented.

"Who doesn't?" Clint muttered.

Fury glared at Clint with his one eye, "I just want to know what could make him stop in his tracks like that."

Thor raced for Loki, static already charging up in him. But Loki stood still with a Cheshire grin on his face. When Thor was within twenty feet of Loki, Loki's figure began to shift.

"What in the hell?!" Tony blinked as the interactive image of Loki began to morph and shift. The organs moved around and his body was growing.

Thor stopped in front of a giant dragon. "Uh-oh." Thor jumped to the right just in time to dodge the fire blast.

"Is that a motherfucking dragon?!" Fury stared in horror.

Natasha exclaimed in Russian.

Thor ran for his bracers, putting them on immediately. He was then sent flying by Loki's tail. Thor rolled to a stop and then put his hand out. A few crashes later and Mjolnir was in his hand. He leapt to attack. Loki breathed fire and Thor sidestepped. Loki's teeth came really close to Thor's arm.

Bruce chuckled.

"You find this amusing?!" Fury exclaimed.

"I find the fact that I'm more surprised by seeing Thor's brain activity shoot up with an idea than the fact that Loki's a dragon amusing," Bruce laughed.

Natasha nodded in agreement. They all turned when they heard a crash. Thor had put Mjolnir in Loki's mouth and dropped it. The dragon now had its jaw stuck to the floor.

"Are we done?" Thor called out.

Tony grabbed the microphone again, "generally when you knock the dragon out you win the game."

Loki roared and Tony pulled back.

"Yeah, yeah." Thor laughed. He pulled Mjolnir from Loki's mouth and Loki transformed back into his normal state.

Loki held his jaw, "that was low."

"No, that was funny," Thor laughed.

Natasha went through the dead man's pockets. Studansky had proven to be too much of a liability and had made himself a target in the eyes of the new SHIELD. It was Natasha's job to remove the target. She shut the door behind her, making sure it locked.

"How's that ledger coming?"

Natasha whirled around and pointed the borrowed gun at Loki. Loki didn't move but the gun turned into a flower in her hand.

"What are you doing here?" Natasha glared at him.

"I was bored," Loki shrugged. He was in his pants and tunic again.

"If you're seen we are both in trouble," Natasha looked around but the hallway was empty. She looked back at Loki and his appearance morphed so that he was wearing jeans and a black t-shirt. His hair shortened and mimicked Tony's.

"Better?" Loki asked.

Natasha frowned. "It'll suffice." She headed for the main part of the club. The music blared loud and people danced around each other. She made a bee line for the door but Loki appeared in front of her.

"Do you have another mission?" Loki asked over the music.

Natasha shook her head. Loki grinned and grabbed her hand. Natasha was pulled over to the bar. She let him do it because she had no way of getting out of his grip, or so she told herself.

"What drinks do you Midgardians drink?" He asked over the music.

She ordered them vodka. "This," She said when they got their shots, "is my drink." She threw it back and Loki followed suit. She watched him lick his lips as he tried to discern if he liked it.

"It's not as strong," Loki told her.

"I can get you the strong stuff," She waved the bartender over and they were able to get the strongest vodka.

"Now this is like home," Loki laughed.

"Loud music too?" Natasha looked around her.

"Not the same music, but yes." Loki nodded. "We'd go down to the hall and tell stories, dance and drink ourselves into a stupor."

"You drink yourself stupid?" Natasha asked. It was hard to think of a drunk-out-of-his-skull Loki.

"On occasion, though it was more fun to fool around," Loki ran a finger down Natasha's arm.

Natasha laughed, "well that's not happening tonight." Loki laughed and Natasha caught her mistake, "Or any other night!"

"Dance with me?" Loki asked.

Natasha blinked in surprise. "Do you think you can?" Loki nodded and Natasha shrugged. "what the hell."

Loki took to dancing surprisingly fast. She assumed he had been watching the dancers since they got here but still. Most guys she knew had issues keeping to a beat. Loki's hands found her hips quickly as he danced behind her. Light touches that were there enough to hint at what he wanted.

The music was loud, the crowd was loud and for once she wanted to jump on tables and go wild. It was possible she was around the god of mischief a little too much. Maybe that's how she ended up in his arms as they dirty danced in the middle of the dance floor. Maybe that's why she didn't object when his hands drifted over her body.

They both hit the bar after quite a few songs and Natasha flagged the bartender. "I want the whole bottle! And the strongest alcohol you have for my friend." She tossed down bills and the bartender grabbed it up.

The man came back with a weird looking drink and a bottle of vodka. "What is this?" Loki asked.

"Zombie," The man answered. "It'll knock you on your ass. Limit is one per person."

"We'll see about that," Loki chuckled.

"Can Thor dance?" Natasha asked as she took a swig.

"eh, he can do the fancy stuff…slowly…no, not really," Loki laughed. "We are supposed to both be able to do that being princes and all."

"I keep forgetting you guys are royal," Natasha shook her head. "Because it's not enough to just be some alien from some other realm."

"This is delicious," Loki pointed to his drink.

"You guys got into a lot of trouble as kids, didn't you?" Natasha smirked, thinking back to how they fought around that afternoon.

Loki laughed, "Mother used to say: Where there's Loki, there's Thor. Where there's Thor, there is Loki."

Natasha tilted her head in question.

"We always got into trouble together," Loki explained. "I'd make Thor do something stupid. Thor would smash something because I made him mad. We'd do something stupid together."

"Sounds fun," Natasha grinned.

Loki shrugged and took a long drink.

"Who got the most girls?" Natasha asked.

Loki nearly choked and immediately started laughing, "Me!"

"What? Was Thor that bad?"
"YES!" Loki laughed. "I was 153 when I realized that Thor had never lain with a woman so I decided to help him out. I told the fool to compliment a woman on her face or her shoes."
"Because that wins a girl's heart," Natasha snorted.

Loki took another drink, "You'd be surprised." He downed the rest of the drink and shapeshifted into Tony. He hollered to the bartender, "I need a Zombie!"

The bartender looked around and then nodded and got the drink.

"So, Thor goes up to Kiana." Loki began taking off the sunglasses that he had whipped up for Tony's look. "And starts telling her that her shoes look very effective for training and that they must help in the foot support."

Natasha snorted.

"He gives up on that and then goes 'your face-I like it!'"

Natasha had to grab her sides as Loki/Tony's impression of Thor was spot on.

"I had to convince Kiana that Thor, who had yet to take a single drink of ale, was completely drunk," Loki/Tony took the drink from the bartender.

"Just open me a tab for now," Natasha told the bartender. She looked at Loki, "so you got with girls quicker?"

"I hated them for the longest time," Loki snorted and took another drink. "This may be a touch stronger than I anticipated."

"Keep on talking," Natasha took another swig.

"They liked me because I was 'mysterious' and some other stuff. I ignored them and was an ass. Apparently they like that."

"All girls like a bit of bad in their man," Natasha told him.

Loki smirked, "oh I have since learned and use that to my advantage."

"Okay, back to younger you."

"I was 137….8?" Loki frowned. "When Amora cornered me and dragged me off to some cupboard. And then I didn't hate girls anymore."

"I'd imagine," Natasha snorted.

"Girls-well, women-on Asgard are interested in strength and warriors," Loki told her. "That's who they marry and end up with. So they only know how to discuss things like that. Otherwise they are pretty dumb."

"Didn't your mom teach you magic?" Natasha asked.

Loki frowned, "She was a bit of an exception to the rule."
"I think you might be a Mama's boy," Natasha giggled.

"My mother," Loki began-ignoring Natasha's comment, "was evil when it came to punishments. Heimdall dragged our sorry asses from a celebration that had gotten out of hand and we were completely naked."
Natasha downed more of the bottle.

"So, we are standing in the middle of the great hall, soldiers on each side of us, and we can hear father yelling that he doesn't want to deal with us at that hour."

"Father?"

"Shut it." Loki took another drink. "And mother comes in and we are barely covering ourselves while Heimdall has us both by the ear. Mother is very calm, which is an extremely bad sign by the way."

"What she do?" Natasha grinned. These stories were fun.

"She made us go put one of the walls that we had smashed down, back up. And we were not able to go get dressed until we were done."

Natasha laughed and drank the rest of the bottle. "I think I need one of those too."

"Hey," Loki turned into Thor. "Two Zombies, one for me and the lady."

Natasha was giggling way too hard. Loki was holding his arms out in exaggeration of Thor's muscular stature.

"One time," Loki/Thor began. "Thor got into trouble without me and it threw fa-Odin-whatever into a loop."

"Just call him father, I won't tell," Natasha was starting to feel warm. She couldn't remember the last time she got drunk. The bartender looked them both up and down and got them more drinks.

"So Thor is mad at me because he blames me for getting him into trouble. He pushed me while we are in the library and we knock down 12 shelves of books."

"Just 12?" Natasha grinned as she received her drink.

"They were as tall as three levels of the stark tower." Loki/Thor took a gulp of the drink. "I may get drunk."

"I was thinking the same thing," Natasha took another drink.

"So, we nearly smash father underneath and so Thor storms off. Well in the middle of the night he's playing with lightning and smashes some statue of our grandmother or something."
"Do you destroy that much you can't remember?" Natasha laughed.

Loki laughed too, "YES!" He took another drink. "So father finds him and starts yelling for me to come out because 'there's no Thor without Loki.' When I don't show up father heads for my room. So there I am reading a book doing nothing wrong-"

Natasha snorted.

"-and father throws my door open. Invites himself in and tears down my illusion."

"I thought you weren't doing anything wrong."

"Yeah, I lied." Loki laughed, "I had 3 women on top of me and one on each side."

"You would," Natasha snickered.

"And father just starts yelling about what had he ever done to deserve two sons like us. Just screaming and storms off. Thor was so shocked at not getting into trouble that I had to get up and show him out of my room."

Loki looked down and saw that Natasha's drink was empty, "I think we need more drinks."

Natasha didn't understand magic. She did understand that Loki had a firm grasp on magic, so when he said he could get them home in one piece she followed him. Natasha turned on the car and Loki put his hand on the dashboard.

The car jetted off without Natasha touching anything. She leaned forward and turned on her radio. It blared rock music and Natasha was about to change it when she heard the intro to 'Dirty Deeds.'

Natasha immediately began singing along in her drunkenness. She was bouncing in the seat and Loki's reckless driving had her moving all over the car. If she had been less drunk she might have rethought letting an Asgardian drive in the first place.

Loki was now singing the chorus with her. She heard cops behind them and she turned just in time to see their vehicles go dead. She couldn't help but laugh.

They managed to get to the tower and into the elevator without running into anything. But now they were trying to stand on their own.
"Dirty deeds…" Loki grinned.

"Done dirt cheap." Natasha laughed.

"Cyanide," Loki smirked as the elevator doors opened to the penthouse.

"TNT," Natasha stumbled out of the elevator.

"Neckties," Loki took her hand and twirled her in what she assumed was something Asgardian.

Natasha smirked, "Contracts!"

"High Voltage!" Loki twirled Natasha and she fell on her ass.

"Dirty deeds!" Natasha laughed.

"Done dirt cheap!" Loki fell down next to her.

"You're drunk," Natasha laughed. "So very drunk."

"I thought you couldn't get drunk because 'Russian'?" Loki smirked.

"Shut up!" Natasha laughed.

Across the room, standing back against the wall was Bruce and Tony. They looked at each other and then back at the two on the floor. Bruce started to walk toward them but Tony grabbed him by the shirt and pulled him down behind the counter.

A drunk Loki and a drunk Natasha taking on Bruce meant chaos, death and green monsters. Tony was not about to go against any of that.

"I need to go to bed," Natasha muttered.

Loki smiled, "Can I come?"
"Nope," Natasha stumbled to her feet. "No Ass-guardians allowed."

"You can come to mine," Loki informed her from the floor.

"Good night, Loki!" Natasha stumbled toward the elevator. She should have gone to her room in the first place. She wanted to know what made her come to the penthouse with Loki instead. She turned and saw that smirk on his face and she knew.

She quickly headed to the elevator and pressed the 'close' button.

So, like I said-stuff is legit. Google Loki's weight: it'll pop up-i know because I forgot the exact number originally XD

Loki can transform into any creature.

Thor i believe originally had the ability to use lightning until Odin took the power away. but the comics have him losing his power if he puts down his hammer for several minutes and movie thor puts it down a lot...so i took some creative license and let him have his powers a bit. because he does possess the damn hammer after all. it just wasn't with him.

Please review people. I love it so very much!
