Black wings

Chapter 8

Ivy is cooking and Loki is reading on kitchen island when Avengers come inside. "Hi. How did it go?" She turn to greet them. "Way easier because we could take Thor with us. Thank you for looking after him, Ivy." Steve answer. "No problems. Risotto is ready soon. You all should take a shower while I set the table." She answer. Others thank her and go to their rooms to get a shower. "This will be so good." She giggle to Loki quietly. He glance at her amused. She put the lid over risotto and put the stove so it only keep it warm before she start to set the table. She managed just to set the table when they hear Tony's angry roar.

Loki and Ivy share a amused look. She walk indifferent to pot and mix the risotto when Steve run furious in kitchen. "Ivy." He grunt angrily. "Hmm?" She answer and turn to look at him. She burst in laughter when she see bright green haired Steve front of her. She has to lean on kitchen island for support. She see that even Loki try to suppress his laughter. "THIS ISN'T FUNNY, IVY!" He yell furious. "Yes it is." She managed to say between laughs. "LOKI!" Thor yell angrily and run in lounge room. "WHAT DID YOU DO?!" He yell and show his bright blue hair. Ivy start to laugh even harder and tears slide in her cheeks. Loki start to laugh too. Thor glance between them. "Ivy... What did I tell you?" He sigh disappointed. "This is way better." She laugh and wipe her eyes. 

"REINDEER GAMES! TINKERBELL!" Tony roar in anger and rush in lounge room. He has whipped cream on his face and he smell like lavenders. Ivy lost it again and laugh so hard it hurt her sides. Loki bite his lower lip and turn to look away so he won't burst in laughter. "What were you thinking?" Steve ask angry. She couldn't answer because her laughter and Loki refuse to look at them, trying to control his expressions. "What is going on?" Bucky ask when he and Clint come inside. They both freeze when they see three of them. Clint burst in laughter and Bucky soon join. Wanda and Natasha come next and burst in laughter as soon as they see the men. Vision look confused around the room when he arrive. "Have anyone seen any of my liquids, some are... oh.." Bruce say when he come. "Why there is so much yelling?... What the hell have happened?" Sam ask shocked when he come inside. 

Finally Ivy got herself under control again and wipe her eyes. "Totally worth it." She laugh lastly. "Totally." Loki whisper quietly, Ivy is only one who hear it because of her better senses. She wink at him quickly before turning to take pot from stove. "Are you guys hungry?" She ask innocently and carry the pot on table. "Ivy, how we fix these?" Steve ask frustrated. She glance at him. "You don't like color green?" "NO!" "Too bad, you have to shave it." She shrug. "WHAT?!" Steve and Thor yell in same time. "Of course not. I give you antidote if you play nicely on dinnertime." She chuckle and point toward table. They sigh in defeat and flop on chairs. 

"What did you do to my cologne or shaving cream?" Tony ask still furious. "Those are lost causes. Actually that lavender smell better than your original cologne." Ivy answer and smile sweetly. He glare at her. "Come on. It was just little prank, nothing harmful." She try to calm him down and wipe the cream in hand towel. "Don't touch me Tinkerbell." He grunt and push her hand away. She grab knife from counter and push it against his throat. He yip in fear. "Don't ever call me that again. I'm not some light fairy." She growl showing her sharp teeth. She take the knife away and put it back on its spot. "Lets eat." She say gleefully again and sit down, next to Loki. Tony try his throat and let out a breath.

After some time everyone calm down again. Clint tell about their mission. Some mafia group tried to steal army's weapons and they stop them. "I want to kill some bad guys too." Ivy whine and put fork in her mouth. "We don't just kill bad guys Ivy. We stop them without killing them if possible." Steve correct her. "Whatever." She mumble while rolling her eyes. "You should let me examine your wings as apology." Tony suddenly say and point his fork toward her. She raise her eyebrow to him. "Like I let you touch my wings so easily." She answer sternly. "But I want to study them." He try again. "I can give you one of my feathers later." She offer as compromise. "Fine." He grunt disappointed.

"You have wings?" Loki ask quietly. Ivy turn to look at him. "Of course. I am fairy after all." She answer. "Can I see them later?" He ask curiously. She raise her eyebrows surprised. "Of course if you really want." She answer. He nod. "Oh right. Don't forget that we have party on next week. Everyone will be there. Even you Loki and Ivy too." Tony announce. She turn to look at him. "Is there alcohol?" "Of course." "What about dress code?" "Something fancy." "I should go shopping before it." She smirk and turn to look at Natasha and Wanda. "You guys join me?" "Of course!" They answer at same time. "Tomorrow?" They nod to her.

Loki left the dinner first and Ivy follow him after she has given fixing shampoo to Steve and Thor. She still chuckle to memory of those three. Loki wait her front of his door. "Do you want to see them now?" She ask with smile. He nod. "Okay then, we need to go outside." She explain and lead him through her room to outside. "Stand here." She instruct and take couple steps further. She roll her shoulders once and push her wings in view. She spread them as wide as she can. He look at them amazed. She smile and spin around. Sun play in her dark black feathers beautifully. 

"What do you think?" Ivy ask proudly. "They look bigger than I imagined." Loki answer in awe and step forward to touch them. She immediately pull them out of his reach and growl predatory like. "Don't touch them." She snarl. He blink in surprise. She press her wings against her body ashamed. "Sorry, it is a reflex. Wings are quite sensitive and very important to fairies." She explain quietly. "It is okay, I should have asked." He assure her. She smile a little and pull them out of sight. 

"Have you been at any Avengers parties?" Ivy ask to chance a subject. "No and I don't want to attend at any." Loki answer grumpily. "It can't be that bad. I am there too, remember?" She chuckle and nudge his arm. He roll his eyes. "Now this lady need her bath so you had to leave for now." She laugh and push him inside and toward her room's door. "You kick me out? I am a God, fairy." He complain humorously. "Like I care about that." She laugh and push him outside. "Yeah, you haven't cared about that." He answer quietly. "You can come later if you want?" She offer with smile. "I keep that in mind." He answer and go in his room.
