Ok so here is Loki! Finally! Technically he won by a landslide but I had a bunch of different ideas for him and no idea how to and in which order to put them in so sorry about that. If anyone does have an issue with the order do let me know and I'll see what I can do about it.

There were not many who intrigued Loki and of the few on Midgard there were not many still alive. That was such a pity with Midgardians, they had such short lives. But what drew Loki the most to Earth was their ingenuity. Humans, while like Asguardians in the sense that they enjoyed sports and physical activities, were unlike them in that they valued intelligence also. Doctor Banner, an obvious example, who while feared for the beast he hid, was at the same time greatly respected. How ironic it really was, Loki was looked down upon on Asguard, his home, yet here on Midgard, a realm he attacked, he fit in more and actually felt like he belonged.

Out of the few who interested Loki, Tony Stark was at the top. The man was an enigma, with so many layers and masks even he, the god of lies, would probably have trouble sorting through them all.

After some cognitive recalibration from the Hulk and the most embarrassing and worst scolding of his long life from his mother he was almost the same god he had been. Mischievous, yes, evil, no. Odin's strange idea of justice with him ending up in the company of the avengers on Midgard may have also helped.

Despite the fact that the last time Tony interacted with Loki he was thrown out of a window, both became friends very quickly, bonding over their love of making things and shared daddy issues. Loki was often found in Tony's lab showing him magic or helping build some new invention.

Loki, new as he was to the avengers' little family, soon caught little quirks, unconcious habits they all had. As much as the rest of the avengers claimed to be annoyed by Tony's incessant babbling, they all gravitated towards him. They were all protective of him in their own ways especially when he didn't have a suit, forming a half circle around him. Soon, without truly understanding why, he was part of that half circle feeling the same protectiveness the others did.

He noticed how Tony roped them all into things like Movie Night, Takeout Weekend, Sharwarma Tuesday, Geek week and on occasion Pranking season and even Disney Land. He forced all the members to interact, often taking them on spontaneous outings depending on whom he was forcing out of a funk.

Whenever Bruce was feeling particularly down he was introduced to some new experiment or research, birthing Science Monday. Natasha was taken to some ballet and the occasional opera or introduced to some new wing in the library that Tony had recently added. Tony refused to let Barton go into SHIELD headquarters for a long time considering the mistrust he had been receiving from other angents and designed and built him some new toys, sorry arrows. Steve was often regaled with stories of Peggy Carter whom Tony had known.

Tony also knew whenever any of his team was suffering from nightmares, although Loki mainly put it down to JARVIS. Loki had been woken from his nightmares countless times by Tony and other members of the team had similar experiences. This was just one of the many reasons why whenever any moron questioned whether Tony had a heart, he would wonder if the man in question would forgive him for committing homicide on his behalf. Probably not. How disappointing. Unfortunately Tony would probably lock himself in his lab and work on some project for a few days before someone, usually him Banner or Clint, dragged him out of the lab and smacked some sense into him.

Tony often reminded him of himself. Both were constantly under another's shadow, for him it had been Thor while for Tony it had been at first Steve for his father and then Howard Stark himself. Neither was at any point in the beginning accepted by those around them. For him it had been Sif and the Warriors Three. He also knew of the events of the hellicarrier and if that was acceptance he had never felt rejection. And there was no one more familiar with rejection than Loki.

(So this next part has more to do with Loki first coming to stay with the avengers and Tony fixing his relationship with Thor. Umm I have an unhealthy obsession with Supernatural and it is actually referenced here and there throughout my fic but its slightly more important here. It will technically be mentioned but there won't be any real spoilers or anything just my opinion that it could have ended at season 5. You don't really have to know anything about the show just that "family don't end with blood" because Thor and Loki aren't related by blood and the basis of Sam and Dean's relationship that family comes first and both would die for each other. Literally)

ABOVE NOTE WAS KINDA IMPORTANT PLEASE READ IT!

Loki appreciated the fact that Tony, unlike the others, didn't force a boring talk about how even though Thor wasn't related to him by blood he was still his brother blah blah blah. It hadn't even been two weeks yet he had already heard at least four "talks" which were entirely unhelpful.

While the Captain was nice enough he felt far too moralistic for the god of lies. It also didn't help that he gave about two of those lectures. The spies eventually accepted and forgave him and they had some truly enlightening conversations on weapons. Doctor Banner he respected but kept his distance from in the beginning until the Hulk decided how he felt about Loki. He was now on relatively good terms with Thor now, thanks to Tony's "intervention".

After dealing with the tension for about a week and a half Tony suddenly stood up halfway through dinner, his eyes alight in a manner which suggested he was about to do something incredibly brilliant or incredibly stupid, muttered something and ran out. Natasha, because she was sitting next to him and had amazing hearing, told them, confused, that Tony had said 'family don't end with blood' before he ran out. Suffice it to say, except Bruce, there were many confused glances.

Tony finally returned with some dvd boxes in his hands. "I've found the answer to the awkward problem neither of our residential gods- I'm looking at you Loki- wish to address!" he announced.

"Really Tony?" Bruce began.

"No judging Brucie it worked on you too remember? Now sit down, enjoy the show and NO spoilers. For all you noobs this is Supernatural. You will all be watching it until season 5, yes Feathers you too. Don't mind my or Brucie's quoting because as much as he denies it he loves this as much I do."

Loki wasn't entirely sure how, but somehow they were all in front of the tv watching the pilot episode of Supernatural. And kept watching even without Tony's insistence.

A week of bingewatching and never to be mentioned tears later...

They actually understood the point Tony was trying to make. Just because you're related by blood doesn't mean you owe someone anything, but family is who you choose it to be. Even though he and Thor were not related by blood they were still brothers in more than just name. So the same way in which he acknowleadged neither Odin nor Laufey as his father, he acknowleadged Thor as his family, as his brother.

Whew ok! So this the end of the chapter. Since I generally write these down first I actually wrote two versions of Tony introducing Loki to Supernatural and teaching him that just cos Thor isn't related to him by blood doesn't mean they aren't brothers. You just read the first, the second was just Loki and not with the rest of the team. I may upload that later just so you can see it. Anyway I hope you like this chapter. Sorry to those who wanted frostiron but I wasn't sure how to incorporate that and I can't write romance so yeah. To the reviewers who are getting pissed off by my side comments I have tried to stop doing that and hopefully this and Rhodey's chapters are to your liking. I will try and change the previous chapters too. So yeah. Read enjoy and review please!
