Well, I got it out sooner than normal-so yay me! Hope you guys like. Seriously reviews are like a drug and it makes me uber happy just to get a one liner. No joke. LovesDragons-you still rock!

Loki chucked his pants at the wall. He kicked his boots off and fell into the bed. The fur blanket was still draped over his shoulder and only covered part of him but he didn't pull it over himself better. He didn't care. All he cared about was going back to sleep.

When Natasha had woken him up a few minutes ago, he had thought they were going to go at it again. But she was merely waking him up to get him out of her room and so that he would heal the giant purple mark on her neck before she met up with Fury. He healed it for her but he wasn't nice about it. The stinging sensation had made the Avenger yelp and he went out the window as she flung some garment at his retreating ass.

Loki curled up into the fur blanket; his feet poking out of the bottom. It wasn't the first time he walked out a window with only his boots on and he could guarantee that it wouldn't be the last. Sleep began tugging at the god again and Loki smiled into his pillow.

Loki cringed as he heard his bedroom door slam open. "BROTHER!"

Loki groaned and turned his head away from his brother's horrible thunderous voice. Loki was then face to face with the 'alarm clock' that was in each of the rooms: 6:37. Loki stared at it. He had only been asleep for 15 minutes!

"It is time to wake up!" Thor made his way to Loki. He quickly ducked when the alarm clock went sailing at his head. It smashed on the wall behind him.

"No one awakens at this horrible hour," Loki groused and buried himself deeper into the covers.

"Our presence is requested," Thor ducked as a pillow was sent at his head as well.

Loki swore in at least three different languages; each one getting softer as he buried deeper into his covers.

Thor sighed and grabbed Loki's ankles. He pulled as hard as he could, but Loki had gripped the head-board. "You can sleep later!"

There was a loud splintering crack as the headboard broke.

Natasha rubbed her neck as Director Fury went over some details with Steve across the room. Her neck hurt from Loki's quick healing and she swore she was going to kick his ass for it later. She grinned to herself, or make him make it up to me. She took a drink of her coffee. Partly because she needed the caffeine, and partly because she was trying to keep from blushing at exactly what Loki could do to make it up to her.

The elevator dinged and opened. Natasha glanced over and nearly spat out her coffee. Thor beamed at them in his general happy way. His hair was perfectly combed back into his half ponytail to keep it out of his face, and he wore his armor and red cape. Next to him was Loki. The younger god was wearing only his sweatpants, his hair was going in every direction, and only one eye was open with a look that stated he was not far from murder.

Thor took a step out of the elevator, paused, and reached back to pull Loki out of the elevator before the door shut.

"Glad you could join us," Fury smirked at Loki.

Loki glared at him with one sleepy eye.

"We need to go over a few things," Fury began, addressing all of the Avengers and Loki. "Most of the citizens have been able to get back into their homes but there is a section of the city that was hit bad by the debris and the Chitauri. I think-"

"Is Thanos here?" Loki interrupted.

Fury paused and raised his eyebrows, "No-"

Loki turned on his heel and Thor grabbed him by the elbow and made him turn back. "You are needed brother," Thor reminded him.

"As I was saying," Fury said irritated. "The citizens need to be able to get back into their homes so that we can do a full scale evacuation when Thanos does come."

The Avengers nodded but Loki just glared at him.

"Rogers, I need you to work with the police and see what all we can do to help them and then relay that to us. Romanoff and Barton, I need you to do ground work and see what buildings can be gotten into and what needs to be done to get them inhabitable again. Stark, Thor and Loki: I need you to remove the heavy debris from the rooftops and the streets. Bruce-"

"Have you lost what tiny brain you had?" Loki had opened both eyes to glare at the Director properly.

"I thought you were supposed to be strong," Fury was now getting even more irritated.

"I am not going to go out there," Loki waved his hand to the outside world.

"You know, I've had it up to here with your attitude," Fury took several steps toward Loki.

"Thanos is going to be preforming spells to get a good view of the Avengers: their weaknesses and their habits. He also has contacts that will tell him if there's a supposedly dead god helping them," Loki frowned.

"You can change shape," Fury said simply. "Easy fix."

"So there's suddenly a new guy with strength not common to Midgardians after a spectacular amount of bad luck to Thanos' last attack on the Midgardians." Loki crossed his arms. "Thanos is not stupid."

Fury glared at him with his good eye. He turned to Bruce as he muttered, "lazy son of a bitch."

Loki leaned up against the wall and closed his eyes. He imagined dangling the Director over the ice canyon in Jotunheim.

"Banner-" Fury began.

"I need to fix more things in the lab," Bruce toyed with his fingers. He didn't mean to get on the director's bad side but he also really didn't want to be out and about with a bunch of people. "I think that Loki can help me on a few other things too."

Loki didn't open his eyes; he just shrugged from the wall.

Natasha followed behind Clint. She didn't really care for the mission they were on; she was just happy that she was out of the tower. The sky was clear and there was a nice breeze blowing through the city. She could almost ignore the pieces of metal lying around the city.

Natasha paused as she stared down an alley. It was the alley she had fallen down in. She tilted her head as she calculated the damage in that area. It was as damaged as most of the surrounding area but it seemed as if part of the building had come down in that particular alley. She frowned as she realized it was where she had been before being violently shoved out the window.

"Nat?" Clint called back to her.

She shook her head and followed the archer.

"Guess Fury is trying to grease some politician's hands," Clint muttered.

Natasha nodded and they headed for the next building. It was not normal for the Avengers to check to see if water and electricity was on in a building. "He's probably trying to speed up the full scale evacuation too."

"If he can get it. You know how people are; especially politicians." He flicked the lights and sighed. Natasha pulled out a notepad and added the building to the list.

"Election year?" Nat asked.

"God I hope not," Clint muttered as he turned on a faucet. Brown liquid came out.

"Seen worse," Natasha shrugged. Clint looked at her and added the building to his other list.

The beakers and equipment were solid again with absolutely no indication that they had ever been broken. Bruce smiled as he picked up one of the tubes. He set it back in the rack and looked over to Loki. The god was yawning.

Once Loki realized he wasn't going back to bed he tossed on the Hulk Smash t-shirt, boots and even fixed his hair. He didn't complain about fixing the lab. Actually, he didn't really talk at all. Something that surprised the scientist. Bruce knew that it wasn't because he was angry at Director Fury. Actually Bruce was pretty sure that Director Fury was nothing but a giant game to Loki. Bruce assumed the silence was because he must have not gotten any sleep the night before.

"Can you fix something if you can't see it?" Bruce asked as an idea struck him.

Loki shrugged, "I need to know what it is if I am to fix it."

Bruce nodded and headed out of the room.

Loki looked around him and contemplated lying down on the counter and going to sleep. It would only take a simple spell to make the countertop into a giant fluffy pillow.

"Tony is having Jarvis put together a map of the water mains in the city, and the pipes in several buildings." Bruce headed for a computer. "I'm going to contact Natasha and Clint to see if they can let us know which buildings are messed up. Hopefully we can have at least water going."

"Water mains?" Loki asked.

"Giant pipes that bring water to people," Bruce answered. "They split off into smaller pipes that go into the buildings."

"Fun," Loki followed the man out of the lab.

Thor tossed the last bit of debris on the garbage heap that Stark had pointed to them several hours before. The sun was low in the sky but there would be two more hours left of the day. Thor flew for the tower. Stark had headed that way a few minutes before so that he could order food for the humongous group of people.

Thor furrowed his brow and flew downward. He landed with a thud.

"Dude, seriously!" Darcy clutched her heart. She hadn't seen the blond during his descent.

"Hey," Jane smiled at the god.

"Why are you about?" he questioned. He had thought they were going to stay in to do research.

"Breaking and entering," Darcy grinned. She turned and tried to move the debris from in front of the store.

Thor moved forward and easily pulled it aside. Quickly, Darcy darted past him and opened the broken door.

Thor followed behind her and was greeted by a smell that reminded him of the stables. "What is this?"

"Pet shop," Darcy answered. She quickly headed for the back.

"Darcy and I have been making sure that all the pet shops are up and running. These guys haven't been fed in days," Jane looked over to the whimpering puppies.

"Found it!" Darcy came back with two large bags with paw prints on them.
"I'll get the cats," Jane took the smaller bag.

Thor wandered around as the two women fed the animals. He was surprised at how many small furry creatures were in such a small building. He furrowed his brow as he saw a large iguana. The creature flicked its tongue out at him and Thor continued on.

Darcy and Jane headed back to the back room for ferret food and food for the lizards and snakes.

Thor grimaced as he watched one of the snakes eat a dead mouse. Why any Midgardian would want that creature in his home, he didn't know. He shivered as he thought about Loki keeping the creature as a pet. Thor made his way over to a different section of the store. He bent down to look at a strange box that was see-through.

"That takes care of that," Darcy grinned as she dusted off her hands.

Jane nodded, "Let's get back….what are you doing?"
Thor was walking quickly out of the store holding the box.

"Dude, that's totally stealing," Darcy put her hands on her hips.

Thor paused, dug into his pocket, and then slammed a gold coin on the counter. He hurried out of the shop and flew away.

"You're boyfriend sucks," Darcy frowned as she realized that they were walking back on their own.

Clint sat in the recliner as he ate a sandwich. Natasha sat on the arm of the chair, leaning against him as she ate. They were sitting like this mostly because they wanted to watch TV and Loki was taking up the entirety of the couch. She glanced over to the god and saw that he was out cold.

"I'm not saying it wasn't a good idea," Tony shrugged as he poured himself his smoothie. "I'm just saying that showing Loki where our main source of water is may not have been the best idea."

"You think he'll poison us?" Bruce questioned.

"I think he'd turn all the water in Manhattan into kool-aid for fun," Tony grabbed one of the sandwich's that Pepper made.

"He should make it watermelon," Natasha stated.

Clint opened his mouth to object and then paused, "you think he could turn it into whiskey?"

The elevator dinged and Thor darted into the room quickly. He glanced around while keeping his cape around half of his body.

"Heya, big guy," Natasha nodded her head at the god.

Thor glanced at her and then spotted Loki. His eyes gleamed and he got a devilish smirk on his face. Clint tensed in his seat slightly. The smirk seemed uncharacteristic for the blond and it was creeping him out.

Thor made his way to behind the couch and loomed over his brother.

"What are you-" Tony began but stopped when Thor sent him a glare. "Never mind."

Thor pulled a plastic container out from underneath his cape and began shaking it. Natasha furrowed her brow. Generally a container like that held something living in it. Thor gave the container a few more shakes and opened it at the top. He turned it over and dumped the contents out: A large black tarantula.

Natasha raised an eyebrow. Clint remained tense but a smirk lit up his face as the tarantula skittered over the top of the couch and headed for the sleeping gods face. It paused as it began its descent down.

Bruce shook his head, "I think I'm going to be far away from that." He headed toward the kitchen while keeping an eye on the arachnid.

Thor leaned down and blew on the back of the tarantula. Much to his dismay it didn't move. He continued blowing on the tarantula. After several blows, Loki wriggled his nose in his sleep. Thor jerked backward. When Loki didn't make any other movements, Thor used the container to prod the tarantula. The tarantula darted forward, but stopped next to Loki's face.

"He is going to send 500 of those things back at you, you realize that right?" Natasha asked. She couldn't help but admire the beautiful creature. Poor thing was probably going to be killed with whatever Thor was doing.

Thor took a deep breath and blew one more time. The tarantula slowly moved its legs on top of Loki's cheek. As it felt the warmness that it had been deprived of for the last few days, it climbed all the way onto the gods face. Thor's eyes widened and he slowly set the container down behind the couch; careful to not make a sound.

Clint sighed, "that is going to give me nightmares." He shivered.

"I thought you hated Loki," Tony stared at the motionless spider.

Clint winced, "oh I think this is fantastic, but I don't like spiders."

Thor lifted himself up slowly from behind the couch and frowned at the fact that Loki hadn't moved an inch. He blew again in hopes of waking Loki up but it was the tarantula that moved. It took a step forward, one of its legs landing on Loki's eye.

Loki's face twitched and Thor scrambled for the kitchen. Loki twitched his nose at the pressure on his face. Natasha glanced to see Thor sitting on the counter watching with glee like a little kid. She turned back just in time to see Loki open his eyes.

Loki screamed in absolute terror. His hands shot up immediately to get the horrific creature off of him. His thrashing made him slide off the couch while still yelling his head off. Loki jerked up off the floor and continued to swat at every twitchy spot on his body. His eyes caught blackness and he jerked back as he realized it was the spider on the ground near him.

It was a large, hairy black spider that had its disgusting beady eyes on him. Loki tried to ignore the crawling sensation on every bit of his skin as he eyed the horrible creature. He dared to look away from it when he realized that someone was laughing: hard.

Thor gripped the counter as he laughed so hard that tears were in his eye. "Your face!"

Loki jerked his hand outward and the counter disappeared. Thor, who had been leaning forward from laughter, fell on his face. Loki's nostrils flared in anger. His eyes darted back to the spider which now had its front legs lifted up at him.

Across the room, Thor pulled himself up only to hit his head on the counter which suddenly reappeared. Loki contemplated doing more damage but he had more serious issues to worry about. He turned to look back at the spider, his hand already raised to remove the horrible creature from existence.

"Aren't you the cutest little thing," Natasha smiled as she held the tarantula close to her face. Clint shuddered as Loki looked like he would hurl. "I think I'll call you…Mischief."

Loki contemplated tossing them both out the window.

She smiled at him and walked over to the container that was behind the couch. She picked it up and headed for her room, grinning even more when Loki stepped aside to keep from being in contact with the spider.

"I thought you weren't afraid of those anymore," Thor grinned from underneath the counter.

Loki sighed, "Do you even remember what I did to you last time?"

Thor's smile immediately fell.

No, idea when the heck the next chapter will be. Hopefully I will have time this weekend. God I hope so...
