Legends Never Die

Chapter 33

The pregnancy went by quickly, until it was close to delivery day. 

Loki and Stephen were on their way to the lab to check on Tony. 

She had said she wanted to talk with her bots, but the conversation they walked into was extremely different.

 "Mr. Jarvis, how far along is Tony?" a female voice asked. 

Loki placed an illusion on themselves as they walked in.

 "She's about eight and ½ months pregnant Miss Quinn". 

Loki walked around the corner to see Tony sitting on the couch rubbing her stomach.

 Loki dropped the illusion after seeing no present danger to Tony, and stood there, trying to figure out what in the name of Valhalla was going on.

 Quinn saw Stephen and Loki staring at her, so she waved them over to sit. 

She looked into Loki's eyes and nodded slightly, "So your Loki, the god of mischief and lies, 

the one who tried so hard to save lives during the battle of New York, but never stood a chance due to the scepter". 

Loki's eyes seemed to pop out of his head, "How did you.." he tried to speak.

 She shrugged, "I may have only been 12, but I was very perceptive, and I knew Norse Mythology. They talked a lot about your hiding skills. 

Plus Tony knew, when he met you in the tower, so he kept talking to keep you grounded enough to be yourself. And he was the one to sic Dr. Banner on you to try and knock your head loose".

 Her eyes started to droop and her head swayed, "Alright, Ima clock out, keep Tony safe, I can still" then she passes out.

 Stephen pulls a blanket over Tony's sleeping form, and Loki ran his hands through her hair, she had cut it to shoulder length.

 "He knew all this time. He saw straight through me" he looks at Stephen,

 "Me. The god of lies" he shook his head in disbelief. 

They stare at Tony, "I'm not sure if this is normal, this is what the second time?" Loki asked.

 "Third, actually, Peter grabbed Tony's wrist and Quinn freaked out, that was the day before she went on her dimension trip". 

Loki laughs slightly, remembering her superhero pose as she landed in the living room that night.

 Loki grabbed Tony's hand and held it gently, tracing the scars on her hand. 

The next day, Pepper came over to hang out with Tony, and she started contractions. 

"Pep! Pep!" Tony said frantically, "We got a problem" then her water broke.

 Tony started to freak out, like to the max. 

Pepper got concerned, Tony had fainted when she went into labor with Morgan, it would be bad if that happened now. 

Tony started to sway, bracing herself against a wall while Pepper called Rhodney to the lab floor.

 Rhodney walks in to see Tony almost faint, but like a light switch, she stands and starts to take deep breaths. 

"Tony?" Pepper asked, reaching out to touch Tony. 

She held on hand to stop her, "Miss Potts, we need to get Tony to the med lab" her voice changed to a higher pitch, straining with contractions.
