Artemis's Pov
"How's your training going with Loki." The nibbling on my lower lip did not stop one bit while I pressed on the buttons of the controller both me and Peter sitting side to side in his bedroom playing on our switches.
It felt like too long since me and Peter had a sleepover and with the new bottle of stress and just wanting to sleep.
I thought it would be a good time to spend time with my best friend. The sleepover was as simple as it could possibly get, snacks, screaming Aunt May telling us not to scream like we were getting killed a lot of Mario Party being played between us.
"Honestly I rather train with Loki then Natasha any day." I saw Peter visually shiver with me coughing out a laugh at the thought.
"Yeah her and Steve seem super scary actually." I leaned my entire back to rest on the floor pressing more buttons.
"She has a hard punch." I chuckled a little watching Peach jump across the board a few times.
"Loki has been teaching me to control my emotions a little better, would you be surprised that he is sweet and funny? He calls me a little gem." I giggled quietly hearing Peter gag quickly
"Oh yuck, man! I already have to hear Bucky calling you kitten, and Steve calling you darling what's next what does Mr. Stark call you?" I blinked my eyes a few times looking away from the switch.
"Baby-" I tried to say but Peter was quick to throw a pillow at my face screaming mass murder.
"I knew he had a daddy kink!" I burst into loud uncontrollable laughter.
"No, it's not like that you didn't even let me finish I'm still a virgin!" I screamed back through my laughter.
"Ah! I don't wanna know like I knew it dude, the salt and pepper hair he is a DILF." My stomach started hurting badly at his voice cracking.
"Peter you didn't just call him a DILF! I'm gonna tell him you said that." I barked out a harder laugh finding it hard to breathe.
"You should be calling Clint that he calls me pretty names in different languages. " I snickered at the playful disgusted look on Peter's face.
"Well, he is a dilf too with kids our age!" Peter started laughing at his own jokes. I already knew this was gonna be a long night with him cracking these jokes.
He made it his goal to tease me about my little nicknames with everyone. Even though I thought Nastaha and mine was just a sister bond I slowly was just seeing how beautiful she was and when she held me close to her I just felt protected by her.
Soon Bruce because a routine to come to him. I had my own little training session with everyone and they now we're just a daily part of my routine.

I pant quietly gently I slowly collapsed back on my butt hiding my head on my knees to relax my crying body for a rest. I heard Loki also breathing heavily before I pressed my chin on my knee to see Loki tugging all his black hair back roughly.
"We are done for the day alright little gem? I don't wanna overwork your body even humans have limits how does your power feel?" I listened to him question to me before I then held my palms out to look at the purple orbs that shot out feeling more comfortable with them.
"Not as bad as last month." I answered seeing him smirk slightly "Looks like I'm a better teacher then they are, relax will pick back up on all this next week on Friday." I fluttered my eyes a few times. Next Friday? That's my birthday I'm gonna be turning seventeen I thought.
Loki walked over to me pressing a quick kiss to my cheek muttering a small goodbye to me he left me alone in the area. I was alone with my racing heart and thoughts when I could sense a very pure aura entering the room.
It was white and I haven't told anyone but after the training with Loki and sometimes Thor I had been able to pick up on auras all around me. This was way too pure to be Tony's but it wasn't a light grey, it wasn't Bucky, or Sam, or Wanda it wasn't even Bruce, Clint, Natasha, or Steve. so that left a few people. Happy, Peter, Pepper, or Morgan.
I looked up and flashed a small smile when the young girl made her way towards me smiling happily.
"Artemis." She cooed out happily. I smiled breathing out a soft chuckle wrapping my arms around her to bring her into a hug when her small arms wrapped around my neck happily.
"Hey, there M, how you doing I've missed seeing you around," I told her gently swaying her side to side. "Daddy wanted me to come and check up on you." I smiled at her sweetly rubbing her back up and down tenderly.
"He did, did he? Well, you can tell him that Artemis is doing just fine and that I'm sorry my emotions are all over the place." Both of us pulled away from the hug and I stared deep into her big round brown eyes.
"Okay. " She beamed at me softly "Artemis I heard daddy and mommy talking well it was arguing and mommy said you are a monster is that true?" I fluttered my eyes a few times at her question.
"Well, sweetie if I'm honest maybe I am a monster you know? Sometimes good people do things they don't mean to, and you see me I have a voice in my head and you can't tell anyone that there's a voice okay." I told her pressing a finger to my lip she nodded her head quite quickly doing the same thing.
"And he tells me to do bad things all the time. So Morgan maybe I am a monster my powers are very dangerous and I'm not surprised that everyone is scared they should be scared of me." I smiled at her sadly I remember hearing Clint and his ex-wife Laura arguing about the same thing.
But I was started when she cupped my cheeks I stared into her eyes watching her then pressed her forehead onto mine.
"I don't think you are a monster Artemis, I think you are beautiful I love your hair and love your warmth." Her tiny arms then went back to hugging me before her tiny hand then went to press where my heart was thumping. And I stared at this smiling little girl her words so pure.
"You know why I know you aren't a monster? Because you have a heart and monsters don't have that."
