"So when we start to play this game?" Bruce asked, looking at Hel calmly.
"Tomorrow. Seeing how drunk that friend of yours can be, it is impossible to play. Besides that, it will be unfair to you all." Hel smirked, looking at Tony drunk at the bar, singing some ridiculous song.
"Can give any hint?" Natasha asked, blinking innocently at Hel.
"No." Hel said with a poker face.
Tony, who is still drunk, starts to stagger towards the living room, carrying the brandy in one hand. He sat down heavily on the sofa with Clint and drank deeply from the brandy.
"So… hic… if we win … hic … we have Coulson back right?" Tony slurred, putting down the brandy down heavily on the table, pointing at Hel in the face.
Thor decided that it seem a bit awkward sitting on the sofa doing nothing, went to get some Poptarts for himself.
"Yes, I believe that I have said that several times." Hel said sharply, making Loki winced at the sudden fierceness of Hel. Loki whined a bit in fear, ears drooping and almost starts to curl up into a protective ball, by hugging his legs to his chest.
Hel noticed Loki's reaction and pats him gently on the head to apologize for the harshness.
"So … hic … we will find Loki by … hic … destroying the place! Then … hic … there will be no hiding place for him to … hic… hide." Tony yelled out loud, swinging his hand clumsily away from Hel's face.
Bruce noticed that Hel hands start to clutch into a fist, started to decide that this is definitely going to end badly.
"Tony, I think it is time you should go to bed." Bruce said hysterically, as he quickly noted that Hel seem to be emitting a very evil aura, tried to convince himself everything maybe is going to be okay.
"Where you think you are going, sweetheart?" Hel said sarcastically, suddenly appearing behind Tony who is still slouching drunk on the sofa, placing a restraining hand on his shoulder.
Clint just ignored them, and continues to watch them like as if he is seeing a movie. Thor came back from the kitchen, mouth full of Poptarts and watch the commotion with interest, eyebrow raised in amusement. Steve starts to look extremely nervous, debating whether to stop the argument now or later.
Loki looked at them in interest for a moment before looking at the brandy curiously on the table.
"What the … hic … think you are doing?" Tony stuttered, turning his head around to look at Hel, eyes widening in shock.
"Of course I am going to bring you to the place where I live, which is known as HELL in your little world." Hel said, eyes glittered with mischief which seems to promise infinite horror and terror to your very life, hands with an eerie green colour magic.
~oOo~
"I think your niece is scary, Thor." Steve commented, looking at how Tony started to run around the living room to avoid Hel from catching him.
"Nay, she can be worse. At least she wakens him up a bit with the lightening instead of doing SOMETHING to give him nightmares for weeks. Maybe it can be years." Thor said, watching Tony run.
Bruce, Natasha and Clint started to eat popcorn when Tony started to run like a crazy person, when Hel decided it's time to use some fire magic which is used to burn a certain target only.
"THIS IS THE BEST AND MOST ENTERTAINING SHOW I EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE!" Clint laughed out loud.
"Can any of you stop this crazy woman from chasing me and STOP EATING THAT POPCORN?" Tony yelled out loud.
"We don't have an early death wish so we are not helping you. You should save your breath for all that running instead of yelling." Bruce said helpfully, which make Tony sulked even more.
"AAAAAARRRGGGGHHHH! YOU ALL ARE SOO -" "I caught you!"
Hel caught Tony and throws him across the room. She continues to emit an evil aura and advance towards him slowly.
"Did anyone notice where Loki is?" Natasha said suddenly, looking around for Loki.
Everyone take a moment to process the data and all of them started to talk at the same time.
"What! My brother went missing?" "I thought he is still sitting there?" "OH MY GOODNESS! I SHOULD LOOK AFTER HIM AND STOP THAT FIGHT!" "He is a kid and they have short attention span so …" "WHERE IN THE HEL MY FATHER GO AND WHY IS NO ONE LOOKING AFTER HIM!" "I didn't do anything! Hel is chasing me so I don't know where he goes."
After the moment Tony said that, everyone keep quiet and stared at Tony.
"What?" Tony asked, with a raise of the eyebrow.
"Okay, everyone calm down first. Did anyone remember where Loki is since the last time we see him?" Steve asked.
"I remember that Loki is sitting beside Hel before the fight." Bruce said with a furrow of eyebrow.
"Maybe he goes back to bed?" Thor suggested.
"I am not sure but I think I noticed something seem to be missing." Clint said, looking around the room in a quick scan, frowning.
"I don't notice anything at all." Natasha said, inspecting her nail.
"Hey! My brandy is gone!" Tony exclaimed out loud, his hands messing up his hair.
"What is brandy?" Hel sulking, not being happy about her father is still missing.
Steve sighed out loud, and wonders if it could get any worse.
~oOo~
Loki sees the pretty lady who is named as Hel, started to talk to his family which he thinks is polite and nice at the same time. Anyway, they treat him nicely, so he can't think of any better word to describe them but the word family only.
The nice lady also pats him a lot of time, which is quite relaxing and nice, which make him can't stop purring. She also played with Loki a lot too, making Loki giggle in happiness. Loki thinks that she really is the nicest lady ever.
Then Loki saw Tony who seems to be walking strangely and carried a strange bottle with amber liquid. Both of them started to chat and suddenly she snap at him in a very fierce way which scared him, but she noticed the reaction and give him a comforting pet to slow his racing heart. Hel seems to be insulted by Tony after talking a while longer and started to chase him.
It seems to be interesting to watch for a while but …
It is boring for Loki, so he looks around for something to play with instead.
Then Loki saw the bottle with strange liquid inside on the table. Loki eyes at the drink curiously, licking his lips in anticipation on how the strange liquid taste like.
Loki looks around and noticed that everyone seems to be busy watching Hel and Tony running around.
Loki slowly slid down the sofa and takes the bottle and hides underneath the table.
~oOo~
"Or he may be hiding somewhere?" Clint said, looking to see which place seems good enough to hide for Loki size.
"Yeah, right. Hiding from what?" Tony asked miserable over his missing brandy which is his favourite.
"Well, I think he is just like a cat now. Probably sulking at a dark corner because no one pays attention to him?" Natasha said, unable to imagine Loki hiding at a corner sulking.
"Or we can try to meow like a cat to get him out of his hiding place?" Bruce said suddenly with a smile.
"Whatever, we can't speak cat language unless you are a cat before." Tony said with a snigger.
"We can at least try right?" Thor said, starting to worry.
"I should like say meow meow and he will come out?" Tony said out loud, trying to control his laughter.
Hel started to feel angry over the words of Tony and feels like strangling or murdering Tony for a long time, until she heard a sound like a purr.
All the Avengers stood still, unable to believe that they heard something.
"Do that again, Tony." Steve demanded.
Tony makes a soft meow sound which is immediately answer back with a purr. All the Avengers turn to the source of the sound coming from and … saw green eyes staring back at them from underneath the table.
Thor quickly marched straight to the table and almost lifted up the table to get Loki out forcefully but stop by Hel. Hel kneels down and makes soft mewling sound to coax Loki to come out from underneath the table. Loki slowly crawled out of the table hesitantly, but encouraged by Hel's soft comforting mewling, he crawled out from underneath the table.
Pepper, who just enters the room, noticed that Loki is still holding one of the brandies which Tony keeps in the bar. She immediately marched to Tony and smacked him hard on the head.
"Ouch! What are you doing?" Tony said, rubbing his head which got smack.
"That is for giving Loki the brandy. He is a kid, you know!" Pepper yelled at him, looking at Loki.
Loki just continues to crawl to Hel and try to stand up but sadly failed, almost fall to the floor face down. Hel picked Loki up quickly and gently and kisses him gently on the forehead, fussing over him lovingly.
All the Avenger could tell that Loki seem to be drunk due to the fact that the brandy liquid level decrease by at least … slightly more than a few inches of the original amount and that Loki is blushing deeply.
Loki started to nuzzle against Hel and start to snore gently.
"Ohh, so cute!" Pepper squeaked.
Hel stared at her angrily and hugged Loki to her chest tightly.
"He is mine." Hel said sharply to Pepper, hugging Loki to her chest protectively.
"I am just commenting." Pepper replied back with a shrug.
As they argued, they did not notice that Loki's hand slowly start sparkling with green magic.
