I hate that FFnet doesn't let me use my usual scene markers. Instead, I've just put large spaces to show the breaks, hopefully, this works.

Tony sighed as he fell onto his couch and his husband's arms. "I'm glad that's done and over with."

Bucky sighed and pulled Tony closer, "I know what you mean. I have no idea how the fuck Harry put up with that as a kid."

"We should think of something to do that will cheer them up."

"You can pose the idea to the rest of the family in the morning Doll," Bucky groaned as he stood pulling Tony to his feet. "It's late and it's been a long two days and we just got home. I would much rather we head to bed and deal with your planning in the morning."

Tony nodded and laughed a little. "I suppose that is fair. Take me to bed then Sergeant."

The next morning Tony called the others up to the common. "So, that whole thing in England was a shit show. And I know that Harry is feeling like shit. We need to come up with something to cheer Harry up."

"I can get behind that idea," Clint said helping himself to more coffee.

"What idea?" Remus asked. "I mean do any of us have an idea that would work to cheer Harry up?"

"You remember when James was upset after asking Lily out and getting rejected for the fiftieth time?" Sirius asked with a laugh.

"Of course. What about it?" Remus was confused about where Sirius was going with this.

"To make him feel better we started a prank war with the other houses."

Tony's eyes lit up like Christmas. "A prank war! That's genius!"

Tony immediately perked up. "Yes! That's it. We'll have a massive prank war with teams and everything," Tony patted his husband on the shoulder. "You, Harry, and Steve can be team old."

Bucky laughed. "You really want to go against us in a prank war?"

"Oh, please," Sirius scoffed. "There's no way you can beat the Marauders!"

"That sounds like a challenge," Tony said. 'Though, we'll have to go about this properly. We probably won't be able to do this right away, so think of pranks, rules, and anything else we may need."

"You know," Phil said thoughtfully. "I may be able to convince Nick to let us use SHIELD as a battlefield."

"Wait!" Tony spun to look at the agent. "Are you suggesting that we use the baby agents as targets?"

Phil laughed, "yes Tony. I think it may be a good training exercise for them. Being randomly under attack without knowing about it should help improve their reflexes. I'll talk to Nick in the morning then get back to you."

That evening the team had gathered for a family dinner. Harry had shown up earlier to cook dinner and Tony immediately came up to bother him. "Tony," Harry asked while slapping his brother's hand away from the food. "Did you ever come up with an idea for Bucky's wedding present?"

"I did!" Tony exclaimed happily. "I haven't given it to him yet. I just finished it this morning. The plan is to give it to him tonight after dinner."

"Are you going to tell me what you got him?"

"Nope!"

"Fine," Harry laughed. "Get out of my kitchen if you're not going to help properly." Knowing that his brother would force him out, Tony wisely got up and left. He had a gift to prepare.

Dinner was a loud rambunctious affair, as it always was when the entire family got together. After far too much food and even more deserts, the group got up and headed into the living room. Tony gave Harry a quick wink before ducking out and heading down to the lab. By the time Tony made it back to the living room, everyone had found their spots on the couches, chairs, and floor. Jarvis had music playing quietly instead of the usual tv show.

Making his way over to where his husband was talking with their brothers and set the box down in front of them. Tony opened the box with a flourish and Bucky almost couldn't breathe. Inside was the most beautiful rifle he had ever seen. Running his hands along the weapon in reverence Bucky turned his head to look at his husband with a question in his eyes.

"Well, I figured I owed you a wedding present and you were bitching about the guns on our last mission…so, I made you one. You should feel lucky. I haven't made weapons in years."

Lifting the gun out of the box Bucky raised it to his shoulder and aimed it at the empty corner near the fireplace, checking the gun's sights. "This is the most amazing weapon I've ever held. Thank you, Tony." Harry came up beside his brother and looked the gun over with an appreciative gaze. He reached out to touch only to have his hand smacked away. "I don't think so, Potter. Hands off my rifle."

"Barnes you right Prick, you've held both my children. Now, give me yours." Smiling, Harry made 'gimmie hands' at Bucky. Sighing, Bucky passed the weapon to Harry, both men ignoring the concerned glances coming from the rest of the family. With as much grace and experience as Bucky, Harry shouldered the rifle and looked down its sights. "Oh, this is nice. Probably one of the nicest guns I've held." Ignoring Bucky's grumbling, Harry passed the rifle to a waiting Steve.

"He's right," Steve said as he checked out the rifle. "This is wonderful craftsmanship, Tony. I don't think I've held a nicer one."

"That reminds me," Harry said wrapping his arms around his husband once Steve had passed the gun back to Bucky. "Why don't you have a gun? It bothers me that you don't carry one in the field. Yes," he stopped and pressed a quick kiss to Steve's protesting lips. "I know your shield is a perfectly good weapon. I have seen you behead people with it after all. I would just like it if you carried a spare…just in case."

"Wait, wait, wait," Clint held up one hand. "Cap's beheaded someone?"

"Yeah," Bucky absently agreed, still running his hands over the gun. "Back in forty-four. We were clearing out another base and Phantom was cornered, outnumbered, and shot," Bucky finally put the gun down, after slapping Clint's hand away. "Stevie lost it. Went completely berserk. The rest of us could only stand by and watch Steve destroy Hydra, including sending his shield straight through one guy's neck."

Harry sighed and leaned further into Steve's arms. "That was so fucking hot. And the night after the debriefing was-"

"Okay!" Clint held up his hands in surrender. "We get it. Please stop."

Laughing Steve wrapped his arms around Harry. "Fine, we'll stop. This time."

"Besides," Harry added. "We need to get heading home. Jamie has school in the morning." Gathering the children, Harry and Steve made their goodbyes before heading for the floo.

Once they were gone, Tony looked over the group. "Agent, have you gotten word from our good Director?"

"Yes, Tony. I spoke with Nick this morning and he agrees with our plan. We just ask that there is no magic used."

"We can't use magic there anyways," Remus said. "It's illegal for us to use magic around muggles who don't already know about magic. It also means that we cannot use magic on any other floors of the tower."

"That's fine," Tony nodded. "Works for us. So, we know that Bucky, Harry, and Steve will be Team Old. Sirius, you mentioned the Marauders, who's on your team?"

"Remus, George, and Fred."

"Okay, that leaves me, Clint, agent are you in on this?" Tony waited for Phil to nod before continuing. "Agent, Draco. What about you Nat? I'm assuming that Brucie is bowing out." Bruce barely acknowledged Tony's words with a small nod, not looking up from his book.

Natasha thought about it for a while. "I'm not sure, honestly."

"It's okay if you're not up to it," Sirius smirked. Spinning quickly to face her boyfriend, Natasha glared at him. "I get it," Sirius continued. "Pranks are not for everyone."

"Fine," Natasha barked out. "I'm in. You had best watch yourself, Sirius."

Bucky watched them all while laughing to himself. "Would anyone mind if I asked Jay to join us? Is that alright with you Phil?"

"That's alright," Phil told him. "I figured you would want him to join. Dad will probably even take Sev's de-ageing potion. Do you want to ask him?"

"If you don't mind." Bucky looked at his husband. "Do you have any idea when we want to do this?"

"We need to talk with Sev and Luc first. See if they can take the kids and for how long. Ideally, I want to start Friday."

"I'm sure that everyone will be fine with Friday. You call Sev while I call Jay." Leaning down Bucky kissed his husband before leaving the room. He had a fourth to invite.

Harry and Steve stared at their family in shock. "A prank war?" Harry asked. "Are you sure?"

"Yes!" Tony exclaimed. "We need a pick-me-up and Sirius suggested this. We've even been permitted to use the baby agents as targets. Luc and Sev have agreed to watch Sarah and Archer, and pick Jamie up from school. We were thinking of having specific hours for the war, that way we can all spend time with the kids and get enough rest between fights."

"Look at you being all responsible," Steve laughed. "When is this supposed to start and who are we fighting against?"

"There are three teams," Sirius took up the explanation. "Myself, Remus, George, and Fred, make up the Marauders. Tony, Clint, Draco, Phil, and Nat are team Avengers. You two, Buck, and Jay get to be team Old."

Harry and Steve shared an evil smirk. "What are the rules?" Harry asked Tony.

"Pranks are only to be done between eight in the morning and nine at night while at the tower. We figure there shouldn't be a time restriction when pranking the baby agents. Of course, no magic can be used outside of our floors. Jarvis and Bruce have agreed to be the judges and award points to each team."

"Okay," Harry nodded. "I'd like to add that there should be no pranks which could lead to injuries."

"That's fair," Sirius added with a sheepish smile.

"We were hoping to start the war this Friday. Sev and Luc said they would take all three kids to Peggy's this weekend," Tony quickly added almost bouncing in excitement. "The Commandos are in town for the holidays, and they all want to spend time with just the kids. Though Jamie did ask if he could do some pranking as well."

Harry and Steve both laughed. "Of course, he does," Harry nodded. "I have no problems with Jamie coming and pulling some pranks of his own. If he wants, Jamie can join any of the teams or try to pull one on his own."

Clapping his hands Tony really did begin to bounce. "Excellent! We should begin the planning now!"

Shrugging, Steve and Harry moved over to where Bucky and Jay were waiting on one of the couches. The other teams headed into the corners and began whispering. "So," Bucky sighed and leaned back on the couch. "Where do we start?"

"You know we can hear you, right?" Fred cried looking horrified.

The four just stared at the wizard. "I say we start with October of thirty-five," Harry said while not looking away from Fred. "While using a portion of June forty-four."

"Oh, I like that!" Bucky laughed. "What about December of thirty-seven?"

"Yes! And August of Forty-four!" Steve laughed.

Jay shook his head, "no. No, we need to pull a February of forty-one." All four burst out laughing making the other teams feel a little nervous. Maybe challenging them to a prank war wasn't such a good idea after all.

For the first official day of the prank war, Team Old had decided to keep a low profile and let the other teams think they had a chance. Each of them even 'fell victim' to one prank each. Both the other teams ranked a fair number of points against the others. Jarvis kept track of who pulled what prank and each person that fell victim to it as a way of scoring.

At eight-fifty that night, Harry went into the kitchen to make a batch of hot chocolate for everyone. It was something he always did so despite the ongoing prank war, no one questioned it. smirking to himself Harry quickly prepared four cups of regular hot chocolate then began on the special ones. "Jarvis," he said quietly holding out a potions bottle. "What time is it?"

"Eight-fifty-nine Harry."

"Excellent." Moving quickly Harry tipped the proper amount of the sleeping potion into the rest of the hot chocolate before putting them all on a large tray. He was very thankful that everyone had their own special cup, it made drugging the right people that much easier. "Here we go! Hot chocolate to celebrate the first day of the prank war."

Team Old woke early and met on the common floor kitchen for coffee. "How do we want to split the floors?" Steve asked after his first cup.

"I'll take Nat and Siri's floor, then head up to mine." Bucky offered.

"Sure. Do you want to use my cloak?" Harry asked.

"If you don't mind that would be great."

Harry pulled out his invisibility cloak and passed it over to his brother. "I'll take Draco and Clint's floor."

"I shall take Philip and Remus' floor," Jay offered.

"That leaves the twins and Bruce for me," Steve nodded. "Jarvis? Are we clear to begin pranking?"

"As it is currently seven-fifty-seven you may all make your way up to the respective floors. I shall alert you when you may begin."

"Thanks, Jarvis," Harry downed the rest of his tea. "You're the best." The four men got into the elevator and headed up to their respective floors and waited until Jarvis gently turned on the lights. Moving quickly, they were finished their task and back on the common within five minutes. Snickering Harry and Steve dropped their illicit goods before Steve headed to their floor while Harry went around the common gathering the rest. While Harry and Steve were gone, Bucky and Jay began building.

Tony woke up still feeling groggy. Rolling over he wasn't surprised to find his husband already up. Groaning, he pushed himself up and out of bed and headed for the bathroom. It took Tony a minute to figure out there was something wrong and another minute to find what it was. "Where the fuck is my toilet seat?"

Grumbling, Tony left his room and headed for one of the guest suites only to find that toilet seat missing as well. Getting upset Tony quickly searched every bathroom on his floor and found every toilet seat missing, including the golden one his husband had put on their wall despite his many protests. Heading for the elevator Tony made for the common floor. On his way, he was joined by most of the others, all of whom were complaining about missing toilet seats.

Stepping out of the elevator Tony could only stare in shock. There in the middle of the living room, Steve was sitting on a throne of toilet seats with Harry in his lap while Bucky and Jay stood on either side. All of them smirking. "Good morning," Steve said with fake sweetness.

"What the hell?" Sirius shouted. "How the fuck did you four pull this off?"

Slowly, Harry got up and walked over to his godfather. "What, you think that just because we grew up in the thirties, we can't pull a prank?"

"Yes!" Sirius wasn't ashamed to admit it, it was true.

"Tell me something Siri, who inspired you, Remus, and my dad in your pranking?"

"It was Femmie's stories of her time at Ilvermorny and the pranksters there."

Harry's smile just got bigger. "Those pranksters were me and Jay. Things only got better when it was the four of us working together." Reaching up, Harry patted Sirius on the shoulder. "Good luck. Who wants breakfast?" Steve got up and followed Harry into the kitchen, revealing the golden toilet seat.

Sirius watched the four men leave and felt nervous for the first time since coming up with the idea. "I think we may be out of our depth this time." Sirius didn't know just how correct he was. Over the next couple of days, every one of the other teams had been pranked at least once. Though they were quick to learn that the Olds had been going easy on them.

"Shhh," Jay whispered into the darkness. "Quit snickering. You're going to get us caught!"

"Sorry," Harry whispered back. "Do you know where you're going?"

"Yes. I know where my son's office is, and Fury's is across the hall from it. Hurry up, this is going to take ages."

"You worry too much," Bucky said patting Jay on the shoulder. "We've done this before without getting caught, with more people around to catch us. It will be fine."

"If we want to get this all done in one night, we will have to be quick about it," Steve added as they arrived at Phil's office. "It will be much better if we don't have to come back."

Only once the door was closed did they dare to turn on the light. "Alright," Harry smiled wide. "While we can't use active magic, the bags are charmed to give us what we need. If you three start on the walls, I'll work on the furniture. Then we can do the roof and the floor on our way out."

The four men moved swiftly, working together like a well-oiled machine. It didn't take them long to finish in Phil's office, before moving on to Fury's then as they had time to spare did Hill's as well. Giggling like school children the four made their way to separate parts of the building, three of them setting the last parts of another prank in hidden corners while the fourth worked in the cafeteria. Pleased with their work the four, headed back to the tower to wait for the fallout.

Fury had called them early Monday morning and demanded that they all come to the SHIELD offices. Seeing the smirks on the faces of Team Old, Tony had been excited and jumped on the chance to see the havoc. Both the other teams had pulled a few pranks on the baby agents but hadn't pulled anything big yet.

When they arrived at SHIELD everything was in chaos. Agents were running around like headless chickens while handlers were shouting. Tony looked around in shock, he had never seen SHIELD agents so disorganized. Beside him, Harry was cackling while Steve, Jay, and Bucky were all laughing.

"What the hell is going on here?" Clint asked looking horrified.

"I would like to know that myself," Fury demanded. "What the fuck were you thinking?"

Sirius looked at the dark man confused and gestured to his team. "Who was thinking what?"

"The four assholes who decided it was a good idea to cover my office in post-it notes!"

"WHAT!" Clint cried out in surprise. "Who would dare? And how the hell did they manage that?"

"That is what I want to know," Fury glared at the group.

"I need to see this," Tony muttered and began walking down the hall towards Fury's office. The group quickly followed, all wanting to see what was done to Fury's office. Opening the door, Tony froze unable to go further as the floor was covered in dark blue post-its. Tony let out an impressed whistle. Somehow the pranksters had managed to create an image of a tall ship sailing the ocean under a clear blue sky with only a few fluffy white clouds.

"Impressive," Natasha had to admit.

Getting a bad feeling, Phil looked over at his father and found the men smirking and trying to hold back his laughter with Steve, Bucky, and Harry. When Jay caught his son looking at them his grin grew larger, and Phil's dread grew. Moving away from the group, Phil headed for his office and swore. There on his office wall was a massive post-it version of Captain America's shield. On the other wall, each member of Team Old had signed their name, though Jay had just signed 'Dad.' Every other surface of his office was covered in blue post-its. "How the hell did you four pull this off?"

Jay just shrugged his shoulders and smiled at his son. The poor boy had no idea what the four of them were capable of. "We snuck into the offices and put up post-it notes. Not like it was hard." The other three laughed at the shocked look on Phil's face.

Fury spun on his heels and glared at the four. "You found it simple to break into SHIELD and after doing so decided to redecorate my office?"

"Among other things," Steve shrugged. Reaching out Steve grabbed Harry's pocket watch and checked the time. "Well, as much as we have enjoyed our time here, we have other appointments today." Passing Harry back his watch, Steve held out his arm for Harry to take and headed for the main doors. Reaching the end of the hall, Steve paused and turned to look at Fury over his shoulder. "Have fun." Cackling the four raced for the entrance knowing that their other prank was about to be released.

The moment they disappeared a loud squeal came from down another hallway. Looking down the hall Tony was shocked to find a piglet running towards them. Reaching down he tried to grab the piglet only to have his hands slip off. Someone had coated the pig in Vaseline.

"Was that a pig?" Clint asked. "And did it have the number four on its side?"

"Yes?" Sirius nodded. "Unless we are all having the same hallucination."

Phil had taken out his radio and contacted a few other agents, all of whom had seen a greased-up piglet running around SHIELD. "Sir, there have been two other sightings of greased-up pigs across the base. So far only pigs one, two, and four had been found along with four pet crates. I have agents searching for pig three while others are chasing down the other three."

"Keep me posted," Fury turned back to his office then cursed. "And get someone in here to clean this mess up now!"

Taking a hint, the avengers and company quietly headed for the exit. "Agent," Tony called out just before turning the corner. "Let us know how it all turns out will you?" The group moved as quickly as they could without drawing too much attention to themselves, the last thing they wanted was to be dragged into the pig hunt.

When they returned to the tower, the two teams had decided to take a break from the war, if only for a couple of hours. Entering the common floor they paused, not quite understanding what they were seeing. Remus laughed from the back of the group. "I think we may be losing this prank war."

"Yeah," George chuckled. "I think you're right. We've been outclassed. Though," he made his way over to the living room to look the furniture over. Every piece of furniture had been replaced, making the rooms look straight out of the thirties. "I'm curious just how they pulled this off. It doesn't seem like any of this was transfigured."

"That's because most of them aren't," Steve said as he and the other three joined the rest. "Most of our pranks are non-magical." Flopping down onto the couch he pulled Harry down onto his lap. "It throws the magicals off and it allows us to prank the no-Maj without getting into trouble."

"So," Bucky laughed a little as he sat and pulled Tony to him. "Have they caught all the pigs yet?"

Remus pulled out his phone and sent his boyfriend a quick message. "Not yet. It looks like they have caught pig one and two and are in the process of cornering pig four, but there is no sign of pig three yet." That made Steve, Harry, Bucky, and Jay all break out into loud cackling laughter. Remus paused for a moment staring at them trying to figure out just what was so funny. "You're all arseholes!" he cried out once he figured it out. "There is no pig three is there?" Harry was laughing so hard he couldn't speak, so he just shook his head. Pulling out his phone, Remus stood and called Phil, not wanting his partner to stay looking for non-existent pigs longer than necessary.

Still shaking with laughter Harry stood and headed for the bathroom. On the couch, Sirius sat up straighter, feeling excited that he might finally get one over on his godson. He had been moving his trap throughout the common floor over the last couple of days and each of the others had fallen for his trap. It was a simple transfiguration spell that transformed a person into their animagus form. He and the twins had been working on it to make it safe for the muggles, making sure that the person returned to themselves after a couple of hours if they couldn't transform back by themselves.

It had been fascinating to see what everyone turned into. It hadn't been a surprise when the twins tested it out and transformed into a pair of foxes. Phil had turned into a beautiful pure white arctic wolf, which had surprised Remus. Natasha had been difficult to catch, but Sirius finally got her, along with Steve. Natasha had turned into a large Savannah cat that had enjoyed chasing Padfoot around. After being transformed, Steve thought about immediately changing back but instead had joined Natasha in attacking Padfoot.

Sirius had caught Clint coming out of the elevator and the archer had turned into a gyrfalcon. He wasn't the only one to transform into a bird. Jay's animagus form after all was a blue jay. Tony was surprised to find himself turned into a raven for two hours and proceeded to steal all the shiny things on the floor. That wasn't as much a disaster as when Bucky got caught in the trap.

The man had been transformed as he entered the kitchen, losing his metal arm in the process. Having a one-winged harpy eagle trying to fly around the kitchen was terrible. Nearly all the dishes and glasses ended up being smashed. Clint got smacked and crashed into the fridge giving himself a black eye. It had been wisely decided to use the counter spell on Bucky, rather than let him flop around for the next two hours.

So now, Sirius was excited to see Harry fall into his trap. He knew that Harry had an animagus form but had never been around to see what it was. The rest of the family all knew what was going to happen and everyone watched with bated breath. Passing through the doorway Harry felt the magic wash over him and then felt his own magic fight against it. The two fighting magics caused Harry to convulse and then collapse.

Instantly Steve was on his feet running to his husband. "Harry! Mo grá, are you okay? Harry?"

Sirius grabbed Remus' phone and searched through his contacts. "Hello? Severus? We need you here right away. Harry has collapsed."

A moment later and Severus apparated into the common. "What happened?"

"I place a trap on the doorway that transforms a person into their animagus form, but we made sure it was completely safe to be used on kids and muggles. Everyone else had gone through the trap without any issues, I don't know what happened."

Severus made his way over to where Steve was holding Harry. "Steve, I need you to stand aside for a moment while I cast a diagnostic." Reluctantly, Steve let go of Harry and let his father-in-law cast the necessary spells. Reading over the parchment Sev had to smile and let out a small laugh. "Harry is fine. His magic didn't want to allow his body to change and fought against the trap spell. Why don't you move him to the couch and begin sharing your magic with him? I'll call Lucius and have him bring the children over." Looking around at everyone Severus put on his best angry face. "This prank war is now over." Not waiting for anyone to argue with him he headed for the elevator to floo his husband.

As gently as he could, Steve picked Harry up and carried him to the now-empty couch. Not willing to let Harry go, Steve settled on the couch so he could continue to hold Harry while sharing his magic. "Could one of you pass over the parchment please?" he asked quietly.

Bucky picked up the parchment Severus left behind and quickly read it over while headed to his brothers. Seeing what was written there Bucky had to laugh. "The Brat is going to kill you," he told Steve as he handed over the parchment.

Taking the parchment Steve looked it over and he couldn't hold back the brilliant smile. Leaning down he buried his face in Harry's hair. A moment later and Harry groaned. "Why do I feel like shite?"

"You walked into one of Sirius' pranks and your magic fought against the prank."

"What was the prank?"

"It was to force a person into their animagus form."

"Why the hell would my magic fight against that?" Steve just handed Harry the parchment. Reading the parchment over Harry paled and smiled at the same time. "I swear Steve, we need to get Severus working on a conception potion that will actually work on you!"

"Wait!" Tony called out looking excited. "Are you pregnant?"

"Yeah. Due in August."

"AWESOME!" Jamie shouted from the elevator as he barrelled towards his parents. "I'm going to be a brother again?"

Steve shifted so that he could pick Jamie up while moving Harry upright so Lucius could pass over Sarah. "Yes, Mo stóirín, you are going to be a big brother again and you'll have to teach Sarah to be a big sister."

Jamie nodded then looked up at his dad all serious. "Can this be the last one?" Everyone laughed.

Phil finally returned to the tower a few hours later looking tired and weary. Remus got up and quickly guided his partner to the open loveseat then went and got him a cup of tea. Accepting the cup, Phil glared at Team Old. "I can't believe you four."

"What?" Jay shrugged and laughed. "It was a prank war, that you all decided to start I might add."

Shaking his head Phil closed his eyes and leaned against Remus. "Whatever. Is it done? I know we lost."

"Yes," Steve told him. "The prank war is over. Severus called it off after a small incident with Harry's magic reacting with a prank. He's fine. Turns out we're expecting again."

"That's great. I'm glad for you both." Phil took a few minutes to enjoy his tea and the warmth of his partner holding him close. "Oh, dad I forgot. Mom sent over a box for you four. She said it was from when you were in school after showing me what it was. You have some explaining to do."

"Why?" Jared was confused as to why Phil was acting so hostile towards him. "What did you bring?"

"I left the box by the elevator."

Getting up Jared headed over to gather the box Phil had brought with him. Lifting it he quickly glanced inside and grimaced. "Oh. Yeah." Heading back to the living room Jared put the box down on the coffee table then started laughing. "I completely forgot about this. You have to remember Harry and I put this together when we were fifteen, sixteen. We spent months going through books trying to find the right deity and given that we had just stolen the headmaster's toilet seat and were planning several other pranks, it just seemed right."

"Oh shite," Harry cursed quietly. Beside him, Steve paled and laughed.

"I forgot about that," Bucky chuckled. "I suppose that can seem a little…inappropriate considering what happened. Again though, we put this together in nineteen-thirty-five, thirty-six."

"You are all worrying me," Remus admitted. "What is in the box?"

Bucky stood to help Jared pull the item out of the box.

"Is that…a shrine…to Loki?" Clint asked in disbelief.

"Yes," Harry said. "Yes, it is. Magicals don't really believe in monotheistic religions. We're more likely to follow an ancient pantheon, like the Greeks, Romans, Norse, or even Egyptians. After doing some research we found Loki, God of mischief, chaos, fire, and a shapeshifter. Everything we were looking for in a personal deity. We prayed to him before every prank and were successful for every prank."

"We stopped worshiping him just before the war broke out," Steve added. "I honestly haven't thought about it since we packed it up."

"So, destroy the damn thing," Clint demanded looking angry.

"We can't," Steve said softly. "It's a shrine to a god. Those cannot just be destroyed because the god does something horrible. There are proper rituals that need to be observed and they cannot be rushed."

Clint sighed and pulled Draco close. "Fine. Just take it somewhere I won't see it."

"Of course," Jared quickly boxed it back up intent on taking it back to the bank.

Bucky looked up from his sketchbook when his husband stormed in, tossing his briefcase at a chair before pulling his tie and suit jacket off. He waited until Tony had flopped himself on the couch before closing his book and turning to look at his husband. "What's wrong Doll?"

"Jarvis just sent me a report on that Parker kid. You remember?"

Bucky thought for a moment before nodding. "Yeah. That was the kid that scored extra high on his entrance exams, right?"

"That's him. I asked Jarvis to keep an eye on him. See how his grades do and what the family financials are like. Jarvis let me know that the kid had been living with his aunt and uncle since he was six. The uncle died in a mugging last year and the aunt was in a car accident six months ago. Kid's been in four foster homes already. Yet, he's somehow managed to earn a scholarship from Mid Town High and keep his grades at a four-point oh."

"That's impressive. Kid must be really smart."

"Yeah," Tony hummed and leaned into Bucky's side. "Kid deserves more though."

"What are you thinking Doll? I know you have some sort of plan forming."

"I want to offer him an internship with me."

Bucky was silent for a while, thinking. "Do you think this boy is smart enough and mature enough to be your personal intern when you've never met him?"

"You may have a point," Tony thought about it. "Maybe I should offer him a part-time internship at SI and see how he manages. If he handles that alright, then I'll ask him."

"That's a great idea love. How do you plan to offer him the internship?"

"I suppose I can't just head over to his house and ask?" both men laughed. "I'll have Jarvis write up a letter and send it to the kid. With his grades, it shouldn't come as that big a surprise."

To say that Peter Parker was shocked to receive a letter offering him an internship at Stark Industries would be an understatement. Holding the letter in his hands he looked over to where his current foster dad was sleeping on the couch and sighed. There was no way Daniel would ever sign off on this. Looking over at his backpack Peter got an idea.

Gathering some papers that he needed to be signed for school, he put the Stark Industries form on the bottom and waited for his foster parent to wake up and proceed to get drunk…again. "Sir," Peter said quietly once he was sure the man was drunk enough to not bother reading anything over. "I need you to sign these for school."

"Give me them and a pen boy." Not bothering to look anything over the man signed them quickly. "Now," he glared at Peter. "What have I told you about bothering me?" Reaching out Daniel smacked Peter knocking the boy down. "I'll teach you your place sooner or later boy." Peter didn't remember the rest of the night.

Despite his black eye, bruised ribs, and wrenched arm Peter had to smile when he woke the next morning. His permission slip for the SI internship was signed and dated. All he needed to do was put it in the addressed return envelope and mail it off on his way to school. This was his way out. Maybe if he did a good enough job and impressed the right people, he could earn a scholarship for MIT with SI and then get a job there.

Finally, his life was beginning to look up.

Yay Peter is finally in the story! I have such plans for him! I haven't ever pulled a prank myself so hopefully, these seem alright.

On another thought, what should Harry and Steve have? A girl or a boy? It will not be twins. Also any suggestions on names?

Let me know what you think I love getting your reviews!
