xxv. babysitting

Request from annathekitten sorry if it's not what you wanted. I had so much fun writing this :)

Tony sighs as he paces the room. "Are you sure Pepper?" He pleads. She sighs through the phone. "Tony I'm literally running your company. You know I love Peter but I can't watch him today, I'm sorry." She says.

He sighs. "Yeah. Thanks anyway Pep." He says, then pulls his phone away from his ear. He dials the last person he can think of because everyone else is busy. Natasha and Clint were on a mission in Russia.

Sam and Bucky were up in DC for a reason that he had no clue about. Bruce was visiting someone named Betty. Vision and Wanda were who knows where and he was pretty sure that Rhodey is in another country.

"Hello?" The voice responds. "Yeah, hi. Strange? Could you come watch my kid please?" He says. "First off, why?" He snaps. "Because my kid needs watched while I take my husband out." He whines.

Strange sighs and he can practically feel the eye roll. "Whatever. When do you need me?" He asks. "No would be preferable." He says with a grin. Then he hangs up and waits.

A few moments later an orange portal shows up beside him and out steps Doctor Stephen Strange. He looks so done and that makes Tony smile more. "Thanks honeybunches. Pete's in his room and I think the only one home is Loki but he is not watching the kid. Anyway see you, Steve's waiting for me." He explains, walking out the door.

Stephen just blinks and rolls his eyes. He sits on the couch and turns on the TV. He narrows his eyes at The Big Bang Theory. Was everyone in this tower a complete science nerd?

Peter wakes up with a moan. "What time is it Friday?" He groans out. "It is currently 11:23 PM. Doctor Strange is in the common room waiting for you." She says helpfully.

He frowns. Why was doctor Strange here? He sits up and shuffled out to the common room, seeing the man watching some science show. Peter grins and walks over to him, plopping onto the couch.

"Hi Doctor Strange!" He greets. The man looks over at him. "Hi." He says, then goes back to watching the show. "Sooo, why are you here? Also where's like everyone else?" Peter asks.

"Gone. I'm watching you." He says shortly. Peter looks at him with the Eyebrows of Confusion™. "Uh why? I don't need to be babysat." He points out. "Yes you do. You're a child." Stephen says.

Peter rolls his eyes and then his eyes widen. "Hey you can do magic right?" He asks excitedly. Stephen nods. He opens his mouth to speak again but someone walks in the room.

Peter turns and sees Loki walking in with a book in his hands. He walks into the kitchen and starts the coffee machine with a flick of his wrist and a green hue. Peter gets an idea and smiles widely.

Loki looks up from his book suddenly and spots Stephen. Then he spots Leter smiling and immediately knows exactly what's on the kid's mind. And he has to conceal his own grin.

"Say, Peter would you like to learn magic?" Loki asks nonchalantly, sitting at the island in the kitchen. Peter's eyes widen and Stephen's head snaps toward the man in green.

"Wha-no that is a horrible idea." He says obviously. Loki raises an eyebrow while Peter gives him the most adorable puppy dug eyes in existence. Stephen sighs. "Fine, but if something goes wrong, it's on you." He says pointedly to the trickster god.

Loki smirks and nods. Peter literally has never listened more in his entire life. Because: Magic. Like seriously magic. So after said magic is learned after literally four hours, Peter has the best idea ever.

"We should play a board game! But like, up there!" He exclaims happily, pointing at the ceiling. Stephen squints at the ceiling for a minute. "The roof? Or like the next floor up?..." He asks.

Peter facepalms. "No no, in the air. Like we could float!" He explains. "Alright Fine. What games do we have?" Loki asks. "Well I think we have parcheesi?" Peter suggests.

Stephen nods and Loki snaps, the game appearing in his hands. Peter giggles and they all literally float into the air. Peter crosses his legs and just sits there in mid air and the others do the same.

"I call red." Peter says immediately. "Green is mine." Loki says. "I got blue." Stephen says, putting the yellow pieces in the box and tossing it out of the way. "I'll go first!" Peter exclaims happily.

"That food was great, What was the restaurant called again?" Tony asks as they get out of the car. Steve laughs. "Tony How could you forget? We were just there." He says incredulously.

Tony shrugs. "I don't know. Let's go see how Pete's doing with Strange." Tony says. Steve just chuckles. "He's fine Tony." He assures. Tony nods and they both step into the elevator.

"Up to the common room Fri." He calls. "Of course, Boss." Friday responds. Tony pecks his husband on the lips right before the elevator doors open and their smiles drop.

Stephen, Loki, and Peter were all floating in the air with a board game, screaming in each other's faces. Steve and Tony's eyes widen when Peter picks up a green piece and throws it across the room where it explodes into feathers.

Their mouths drops open but Peter doesn't even seems to notice. The three keep screaming at each other until Stephen portals the game across the room, where it falls, all of the pieces rolling across the room.

They continue screaming. "What the fuck?!"
