Here's Part 2. Enjoy.

"Oh dear," Loki says, having realized he forgot the potion that was suppose to act as a barrier against the things he brought to life with the other potion, "This is not good." In a panic, Loki pries the doors open and sprint inside. 

Meanwhile, as the spell was starting to take effect, you were leading the children throughout the haunted compound, many of them getting pretty scared at what they saw. Even Peter and Ned jumped a little at most of whatever popped out to scare them. "Whoa," Peter exclaims. "The Avengers really go out for a haunted house," Ned comments nervously. "Oh please," Michelle counters, "you can't possibly be scared, this stuff isn't obviously not even real. Besides only five year olds would be dumb enough to enter here just to be scared." "You're here," Ned points out. "Am I?" Michelle points back.

All the way up front, you yourself were getting pretty freaked out; at this point, you really wished you were at the party doing jello shots. At least you had Clint and Scott here for support. Up front, you could see a couple of zombies heading your way. "Uh, Clint, I think you went a little overboard with the zombie decorations," you say somewhat scared, "those zombies almost look like they're heading this way right now to dine on our flesh like in the Walking Dead; they're even making similar noises too." "Uh, we didn't exactly plan them to do that," Clint points out with a disconcerting tone.

"That's because they really ARE planning to eat out flesh!" you hear Loki's panicked voice as he sprints to the front where you were. "What's he talking about?" Clint asks confused. "Uh," you realize none of the other Avengers knew about Loki's spell, "You didn't tell them?" you whisper-scold the Asgardian. "It was suppose to be a harmless prank," Loki says defensively. "What's going on?" Scott quips in, just as confused as Clint. "We need to get everyone out of here," Loki insists, "Long story short, I put a spell on this building that was meant to bring everything inside to life, but I left the barrier spell in my others robes in my room-" "Which means those zombies are real and are about to kill us," you finish, "Can you three at least keep those things at bay while I get everyone back to the entrance?" "We'll do what we can?" Clint reassures persuading his kids to go back.

"What's going on, daddy?" Cassie asks her father. "Don't worry about it, peanut," Scott reassure his daughter, "Just some superhero stuff that needs to get done. Why don't you help 'Wonder Woman' here lead everyone else outta here?" "Okay," Cassie happily agrees. With Cassie's "help" you tell everyone in line that there were some technical difficulties in the haunted compound that needed to be resolved. Begrudgingly, everyone turns around and head back to the entrance.

"Hey, what's going on?" Peter asks you once everyone was out; luckily none of the objects hanging on the wall had fully come to life enough to attack any unsuspecting civilian. "Asgardian spell gone wrong that is currently taking over this entire facility," you quickly answer. "Wait, so those zombies we saw in their..." "Were actual zombies," you finish for Ned.

Hearing a little scuffle, you notice Clint and Scott were giving a Loki a hard time. "What the hell were you thinking?" Clint scolds, "of all the crazy tricks you ever tried to pull." "Now, now, there's no need to do anything we'll regret," Loki puts his hands up, "I'll admit this wasn't one of my better tricks but-" "Normally I would forgive this," Clint interrupts, "But what if something really went wrong in there, and something happened to my kids? What would you say then?" "Same goes if something happened to Cassie," Scott adds. "Alright, guys, I think Loki's got the picture," you step in. "At least someone has a little common sense," Loki replies. "You're still not off completely," you tell Loki with a stern tone, "You got us into this mess, now fix it."

Loki sighs before explaining, "There's no way to reverse the spell. It'll eventually wear off around midnight." "Which is three hours away," Clint checks the time. "So as long as those things inside stay inside the haunted part of the compound, everything should be fine," you say. "Uh, yeah about that," Loki interjects. "What?" you ask, worry starting to linger. "The potency of the spell is strong enough to cover the entire building. Literally any decoration inside beyond the that part of the compound could come to life." "Like T'challa's tiger projection," Clint realizes. "And the wire wrapped around the baseball bat that Negan Tony has grown so fond of," you also realize. "Sounds like we're not the only ones who could've gotten hurt," Scott quips.  
"Not all is lost," Loki reassures, "we just need to get to the second vial that should act as a barrier. Once that sets in, we can rest easy knowing no one will get hurt."
"So where is the second potion exactly?" You ask. "My room," Loki answers. "Okay, so all we have to do is get over to your room and retrieve the vial. Sounds easy enough," you say.
"What about the American Horror Story Freak show inside?" Scott points out.
"As long as they remain inside the haunted section, they should be alright," Loki answers.
