Loki Babysits the Avengers?!

Braids

"Don't touch that! That's breakable! Stop! No! Don't do that! I brought you in here to take some test not destroy my lab!"

Loki walks past Tony's lab and hears him yelling. All of the kids are in there. Loki decides to just let them have their fun and not try to stop them. Loki starts to walk towards the living room when someone tugs on the hem of his shirt. He looks down to see Natasha.

"Oh hi Natasha. Do you need something?" Loki asks.

Natasha doesn't say anything, she just looks up at Loki and tugs of his shirt again. Loki gets the point and kneels down in front of her. She reaches up and starts to braid his hair. At first, Loki is confused, but he allows her to keep braiding his hair. When she is finished with that one strand, she undoes it, smiling when she sees it made Loki's hair a little wavy. This is the first time she has smiled since she was turned into a five year old. She starts to braid another stand of Loki's hair.

"Does this make you happy Natasha?" Loki's asks. Natasha doesn't nod or anything, she just continues to braid Loki's hair with a smile sread across her face. Loki smiles. "Very well."

Loki picks Natasha up and carries her as he continues doing what he was doing in the first place. Natasha still braiding and unbraiding his hair, smiling.

Later

The kids have gone off to play, Loki walks into Tony's lab. Tony glances at him, then back at his computer, then back at Loki.

"What's with the hair? Why is it wavy? Dude really? What's with the hair?" Tony asks.

"Shut up Stark." Loki says as he walks up beside Tony. "So have you figured out what happened to them?"

"No I have been trying to keep them from breaking everything, with no help from you." Tony says.

"They were just having fun." Loki says.

"Yeah like when we pranked Bruce, that was 'just having fun' too. You better be glad neither of us told Thor." Tony says.

"You can't pull the 'I'm going to tell Thor' card, you were just as much at fault as me. You're the one who asked to be in on the prank." Loki says.

"Whatever." Tony says. "Go get the thing over there."

"Don't tell me what to do." Loki says.

"Would ya just get it?" Tony asks.

"Fine." Loki says as he walks over to the table and grabs the thing Tony pointed to. "Here."

"Thanks, now go get that." Tony says.

"I am not your servent." Loki says.

"I never said you were." Tony says. "The faster you get the stuff I need the faster I get this down."

"Whatever Tony." Loki says.

Loki walks into the living room and plops down on the couch. He's exhausted. Tony had him run all over the tower to get stuff. Tony left things in his room, the kitchen, the garage, everywhere! Loki lays his head back on the couch and closes his eyes. He hears something and opens his eyes up. Natasha is standing there. She climbs up on the couch and into Loki's lap. She starts to braid his hair. Loki puts an arm around her to make sure she doesn't fall off the couch.

A few minutes latter, Clint climbs up the back of the couch and pirches on his shoulder. Loki just shakes his head and let him stay there. Steve comes up and climbs up in Loki's lap. Bruce and Thor come in, arguing with each other. Thor comes and sits on Loki's left foot, leaning on his leg, Bruce on his right leg. They continue to argue.

That Night

Tony yawns, he has stayed up late in his lab and still hasn't figured out anything about the others. He gets up and walks out of his lab. He scratches his head, yawning, almost falling asleep. He walks by the living room. He stops, turns around and looks back in the living room. On the couch is Loki fast asleep. With one arm around Natasha and one around Steve, who are both asleep. Natasha with her head laying on Loki's chest and Steve with his head on Loki's arm. Clint is pirched on his shoulder, his head laid against Loki's. Thor and Bruce are each on one of Loki's legs. Bruce has Thor by the foot and Thor had Bruce by the arm, it looks like they fell asleep arguing. Tony does all he can not to bust out laughing as he gets out his phone takes a picture.

"Oh come on this is going on every social media thing I own!" Tony says to himself.

He posted the picture. It went viral in a matter of minutes.
