Avengers One-Shots

DeAged!Loki and TotalDad!Tony

Thor took out the last of the invading mages with a growl before looking around for his brother, "Loki!"

All he got in response was a small cry. Thor began searching for the source of the cry. He found a blue infant sitting on Loki's battle armor, "Loki?"

The infant made grabby hands at him. Thor bundled him up in his cape and headed back to Asgard. Loki began to cry once they had made it into the palace. Frigga was already awaiting there arrival, "Thor, why are you carrying an infant? And where is your brother?"

"This is Loki, Mother. I believe he was deaged by an elf," Thor rocked the sobbing child gently. Frigga scooped the frost giant out of Thor's arms and gently felt his forehead, "He's freezing. I'll find his warm robes from when he was young."

Thor followed and grinned when she put Loki in a wolf pelt onesie that still had the ears and tail attached. Loki clutched the tail in his hands and cooed softly. Frigga gave back Loki to Thor, "You should bring him to earth while I search for a cure. I believe he will be safe there."

Loki was not a fan of the bifrost. Thor discovered quickly. Tony came up from his work shop, "Thor, back already? What's with the baby?"

"This is Loki. I believe he has been deaged by elves and mother is working on a cure. In the meantime I was hoping we could stay here," Thor smiled. Tony took the child from him, "Loki?"

Loki stopped crying and nuzzled against Tony. They had been close after what happened after the New York attack. After the initial rockiness of 'you tried to kill me but your interesting'. Tony craddled Loki in his arms, "Of course, you can both stay. Why is he wearing such thick clothing? it's summer."

"Young frost giants cannot regulate their body temperature very well and it is a magicly weaved pelt that regulates it for him," Thor smiled proud that he knew something the billionaire did not. The inventer laughed at the way Loki clutched on to the fluffy tail, "He looks so sweet and innocent."

"Have either of you eaten recently?" Tony asked he came up to retrieve food but got distracted. Thor shook his head. Tony smiled, "How about a late lunch?"

Loki looked up at him with an intense gaze. Tony took that as a yes. Thor was already on the hunt for the Mac 'n' Cheese that was usually in the cabinet. Tony set Loki on a blanket that he bunched up on the counter and started boiling a pot of water. Then he stood in front of a fussy Loki with a smile. Loki babbled loudly at him when he walked over to the stove to check the water. Thor watched his younger brother with an odd fascination. Tony almost laughed at how much of a large child Thor could be. Tony tickled Loki as he walked to grab the milk and butter from the fridge.

Loki giggled loudly when he did it on the return trip. Thor walked over and did the same thing Tony had but Loki was more interested in grabbing at his long blonde locks. Thor smiled, "I believe he is entertained by my hair."

"Carefully he maybe a baby but he is still Loki," Tony warned as he scooped the noodles into 3 bowls. Thor looked disappointed when Loki grabbed a handful of hair and began to tug it. The inventor handed Thor a bowl after he had managed to escape Loki's grip. Loki pouted at his loss of entertainment. Tony laughed and pulled a stool over so he could sit in front of Loki. The frost giant made grabby hands at him with a frustrated huff. Tony scooped him up and let him sit on his lap and eat while Tony ate. After Loki decided he was done, which he showed them by tossing noodles at Thor instead of eating them, Tony set Loki's bowl on the counter and quickly finished his own food.

Tony asked Thor if he could retrieve some books on frost giant babies for him and some more clothes. Thor was more than happy to do as his sheild brother asked and went back to Asgard. Tony laid on the couch and set Loki on his chest, "What happened to you?"

Loki put a chubby hand on Tony's cheek and Tony was met with Loki's perspective of the battle. He watched as an elf cast a spell on Loki and he dropped to the ground. When Tony blinked he was back on his couch, "That was insane first of all. Second, why can't you just zap yourself back to normal?"

Loki looked at him with a frown. Tony sighed, right, he's a baby. Loki sighed and grabbed a handful of Stark's shirt and fell asleep. Tony must have dozed too because He woke up when Clint banged a cabinet shut. Loki shifted and sniffled like he was waking up Tony shushed him softly running his fingers threw black curls just like he did with adult Loki. It seem to have the desired effect and he went right back to sleep. Tony carefully sat up and laid Loki back on the couch with a couple pillows around him.

"Barton! Stop banging those god damn cabinets shut I'm tryna nap here," Tony growled knowing Loki wouldn't want everyone to know about his current condition. Clint rolled his eyes, "Go take a nap in your own bed."

"Just keep the noise down. Okay," Stark sighed. He stopped in the living room and scooped up Loki so they could continue their nap in a real bed. Loki was out cold, nuzzled against Tony's chest even as he climbed into his bed. Adult Loki had spent many nights in this room; some nights he stayed up to make sure Tony didn't die in his sleep after a bad fight, some nights he was asleep before the engineer even came up, he kept away Tony's nightmares and vise versa. They were a little more than normal friends possibly moving into boyfriend territory.

Thor's re-entry stirred Loki awake with an angry grumble. Tony was quick to gently rock him back and forth in an attempt to calm him. Loki hiccuped and fussed quietly as Tony attempted to get him back to sleep. Thor mouthed a quick appology an sat at the foot of Tony's bed, "Mother has found a cure but it requires Loki to come to Asgard."

"Okay," Tony said. Thor attempted to get Loki to come to him but the child just hugged Tony tighter. Thor groaned, "Come here, please, brother."

Loki didn't move.

"I could take him there, if that's okay," Tony smiled. Thor nodded, "You may experience a moment of dizziness as we get there. Do not worry it's normal."

"Okay, let's go," Tony said.

Once they made it to Asgard Tony followed the close behind Thor to Frigga's Chambers with Loki held close to his chest. Many gaurds starred at the mortal as he passed.

Figga was very happy to see them. Tony out stretched a hand to shake her's but, she pulled him into a hug and took Loki from him. Tony looked worried for a moment but Frigga was quick to assure him the change would be quick and painless before taking Loki off to another room.

They pair came back a few minutes later and Loki looked tired as all hell. Tony moved to hug him much quicker than he would like to admit. Loki hugged him back with a happy sigh, "I would like a very long nap right now."

"You look like you need one," Tony laughted, "Your room or back to mine?"

"Mine please," Loki mumbled. Frigga smiled at the domestic bliss that the pair seemed to share when they were near each other. Tony looked at her and mouthed a 'thank you'. She bowed her head in acknowledgement. Tony let go of Loki, "Come on sleepy, let's get you to bed."
