high hopes [baby avengers and reader]

chapter twenty seven

The castle was beautiful, such a girlish fantasy with purples and pinks coloring the structure with a wide bridge as an entrance.

To either side of the grey bridge was water, with ducks that would occasionally make a home there and a garden right beside it.

In that garden was a princess, Aurora, to be precise. She had long, golden, hair and a pretty pink dress that guaranteed that Natasha would be tugging at your shirt soon.

"___!" She squeaked excitedly.

"Yes?" You replied kindly.

"Can, can we see the princess?" She asked with adorable puppy dog eyes.

"Sure we can!" You giggled, and took her and the reluctant boys to see Princess Aurora.

You walked down the stone path to the garden where the princess was greeting people.

There was also another princess beside her, Cinderella, who was wearing her blue ball gown.

"Hello children." Princess Aurora said kindly.

"Hi!" Natasha said cutely.

Thor looked wide eyed and a little dazed upon gazing at the princess and seemed to have lost his wits, meanwhile.

"What is your name little one?" The Princess asked Natasha.

"I'm Natasha!" She said happily.

"That's a beautiful name Natasha." The princess replied sweetly, then looked at little Thor. "And what is your name?"

"Um.. Um.." Thor stuttered, his cheeks blushing light pink.

"His name is Thor." Loki said, unamused by his brother's lovestruck behavior. "Like Thorium. The element on the human periodic table. ...He gets everything." Loki grumbled.

"Is something wrong?" Asked Princess Cinderella.

Loki shrugged. "I was adopted." He said simply, as if that explained all of his troubles.

"Hmm.. Well, I can kind of relate to you, I had to live with my step-mother for a while.. She and my step-sisters were not very kind to me." She said sadly.

"Really?" Loki asked, intruiged. "Hmm.. And were you successful in trying to take over a planet weaker than you?"

The Princess looked a little confused but asumed the notion was just of an imaginative little boy. "No, I became a princess."

"Hmm... I wanted to be a king." Loki mentions causually.

It worried you slightly with the way Loki was talking. But.. that could wait for now, you decided. At least you could enjoy the simple innocence of taking a picture of them all.

"Okay little ones, gather around the princesses, we're going to take a picture." You said with a smile and they all did as you directed. You looked through the lense and sighed. Tony wasn't there..

"Well, I guess we'll just-"

"Hello sweetness." Came an arrogant voice.

Or perhaps not.

"Tony!" You chided. "You shouldn't call me that, but what are you doing here so soon?"

"The ride broke. Are we taking pictures?"

"Yes, now go get in the frame." You said and he chuckled, doing as you said.

May smiled ever so slighty at how happy you were. "Go ahead. I'll take it."

"Thank you Agent May." You smiled and hurried over to stand by Loki and Cinderella.

"Smile." Agent May said almost evenly and you all smiled for the camera.
