Topsy-Turvy (sequel to Hidden Beauty)

Let's Start New

"This is not heavy." Sapphire pouted, waving the Mjonier side by side. "And it needs more decorations! Don't you think Uncle Chicken?"

Clint smiled tightly and nodded, then slowly turned his head to shoot a glare at a snickering Tony and Natasha.

"You are worthy, my darling niece!" Thor boomed happily, pulling her on his lap.

"Worthy? What's that?" Sap asked, scrunching up her nose. "Is it good Uncle Thor?"

"Of course it's good! Everything is good about you!" Thor replied, eyes bright. "Aaaand worthy means..." Thor shifted her on his legs. "Meritorious, estimable, exemplary, righteous, upright, honorable,-"

"Geez! You're going to sizzle her little brain!" Tony gasped softly and swooped Sapphire up from Thor's lap, twirling her around.

She giggled loudly. "Papi! Higher!"

Tony laughed and tossed her in the air. She shrieked with laughter as he catched her and twirled her again.

"Okay okay, now tell me little chipmunk," Tony steadied the five years old in his arms, grinning. "What does Uncle Chicken say?"

"Cluck! Cluck! Cluck!" Sapphire flapped her hands.

Thor and Natasha cackled while Clint grunted. "Very funny Tony. Teach the child bad words and I'm telling Rose about you."

"Ah oh really?" Tony squeaked in a terribly nasal voice. "You're just jealous that chipmunk loves me more than you!"

"Of course not!" Clint scowled and then smiled brightly at Sap. "Tell me my bunny boo, do you like deserts and goodies cause I can make everything you wanna eat!"

Sapphire's eyes went round with delight. "Really?"

"Of course! Cupcakes, pancakes, muffins, chocolate waffles, wafer, croffle, fudge and so so many more!" Clint hummed, slurping.

Sap ooh'ed, clapping her hands. "I wove muffins!"

"I can make you toys and games and buy you so many dolls and teddies!" Tony piped in.

"I wove teddies!" She giggled.

"I can teach you to wield a bow!" Clint pressed.

"I can make you your own suit!"

"I can buy you your own blaster!"

"Back away pigeon!"

"You back away tinhead!"

Sapphire wiggled out of Tony's hold while the 'grown up' men continued to bicker and she hopped near Thor, pulling up the Mjonier and proceeding to bang the toy cars sprawl on the floor.

"Unbelievable..." Natasha sighed, watching the yelling duo. "We need real adults in our group."

"Well... I'm an adult." Thor coughed. "I have everything an adult man has be it muscles or-"

"Jesus." Natasha groaned, rolling her eyes and then abruptly burst out laughing.

Thor cocked his brows up. "What's the reason for your sudden laughter?"

"No it's just..." She shook her head, laughing softly. "Did you see Loki's face everytime Sapphire calls him dad?"

Now Thor was laughing with her. "He looked shaken." He chuckled. "I'm never gonna forget that expression and I'll never allow him to forget it too!"

"But it's the best decision he could have taken." Nat let out a deep breath. "Rose is full of life again and Loki, well..." She shrugged. "He looked at peace seeing her smile and talk like before."
