Disclaimer- I don't own any of the Marvel characters.

A/N- I got a review in one of my other stories asking to bring back this story after I removed it, so here's improved version. I wrote the whole story again in a different way. In this also Loki and Odin will have a good relationship for the stories sake. I also made Tony 4 years younger to fit the story line. And there's no golden apples in this, they are just immortal, somehow.

Hope you enjoy!Cheers!

Loki looked at the small child sitting down on his lap. He had to smile when he saw that his son was looking at him with his vibrant amber eyes. He leaned down and rubbed hid nose with his son's getting a little giggle from his child. He smile got a little wider and he turned back to his female look as he heard foot steps.

"Mommy No change." The small child tugged at female Loki's longer hair. Loki bite his lip and looked at his son's sad face and changed back and Put on a glamour that made everyone other than his little angel see him as Maria. Child clapped Happily and snuggled down to Loki's lap.

"Maria? What are you doing? You should be with the guests." Loki silently cast a spell to change his voice and looked up at his husband.

"I'm Sorry Howard. But Little Anthony needed to be fed at night before sleeping." Loki held up the bottle he was using to feed his little Anthony a moment ago. Howard nodded once and went back to his guests. Loki sighed and looked at the now sleeping child in his arms. He had gotten closer to the mortal called Howard. He had used a female disguise then and had fell in love with him and married him. But now there was no love between them. Loki's only reason to put up with the over egoistical man was the Precious bundle in his arms. He stood and walked to the crib that was in his room and put Anthony down and got ready for bed himself. After giving birth to Anthony, Loki moved to another room since Howard couldn't sleep while Anthony was there. He checked on Anthony one more time and got to bed and fell asleep with a small smile playing on his lips.

Anthony came running in to Loki's room silent tears running down his face. Loki quickly gathered his son in his arms and wiped the tears and started the song he always sang when he was comforting Anthony. he sang for a few minutes and looked down at Anthony.

"Would you tell me what happened?" Loki asked softly.

"Daddy didn't like the circuit board I built." Anthony held out a circuit board to Loki to see. Loki took it and looked it over. He may not be Midgardian, but he had learned a lot of things in the years he lived in Midgard. He looked at Anthony and hugged him closer.

"It's really good Anthony. I may not know anything about these things, but i know that no other can make something like this in your age." Anthony looked up at his mother and saw only honesty shining in those beautiful green orbs. Loki waited until Anthony said anything.

"Mommy, can I ask a question?"

"Of course My Darling."

"Mommy why do you look like a man with me?" Loki knew his child was smart and had powerful magic just like him. He thought that it was time to explain everything to Anthony.

"Listen carefully Anthony. What I'm going to say is really important and you have to keep it a secret. Understood?" When Anthony nodded he explained everything. About him being God, God of Mischief and Lies. About Asgard, His family, which was Anthony's family too. He explained about magic and how he shape shift to look like a woman. Anthony listened with rapt attention and didn't even breath too loud in case he missed a word his mother said.

"Can you teach me to do magic mommy? and tricks you said?" Anthony asked Loki after he had finished his explanation. Loki looked at Anthony surprised.

"Of course. If that is what you want."

"Yes mommy" Loki smiled at his son and started his lesson in magic. After that night, it became their nightly routine before Anthony had to go to bed.

Tony walked up to his mothers bedroom and knocked.

"Come in" He heard the fake female voice of his mother. He didn't really liked that voice, he preferred his mother's real voice. It was deep and soothing. He entered the room for their nightly magic lesson which started almost 10 years ago.

"Hey Mom!" He walked towards his mother and got on to his lap. Loki wrapped his arms around his teenage son.

"You are growing my son. I won't be able to keep you like this on my lap in a another year or so."

"It's your fault, you are the one who put that spell on me." Tony pouted at his Mother. Loki huffed out a laugh at that. he had cast a spell that made Tony age like a normal human would. But it was just a mere glamour, complicated, but a glamour nonetheless.

"True. Now are you ready for your lesson?"

"Of course. And I finished practicing the Shape shifting."

"Mhm Show me." Tony slowly let his magic change his body and in a few second there was a little kitten sitting on the Loki's thigh. Tony changed back and again took a female appearance. Loki watched with pride filled eyes at his son as he changed back to his real form.

"Very good son. Well there's only one thing that I have to teach you. After that, you are a full trained mage." Loki started to teach his son how to create illusions of himself that act different from the real one without keeping constant concentration and how to keep them adopted according to the environment the illusion is at the moment without knowing what the environment looked like. It took a couple of hours at the least, but he finally got the hang of it. They stayed up for another hour before Tony went to his room.

Loki looked at the closed door and thought about the last 10 years. He had started to teach Tony everything he knew after that night he told Tony everything about himself. Tony had became more close to him after that. Howard was always trying to find Captain Steve Rogers. Loki didn't understand what was so important about a dead man than his own son. Howard's neglect toward Tony had only gotten worse. And the rumors that are spreading about Tony being a drug addict and a play boy was too much to handle. Howard did nothing to stop those. He knew that Tony was still a virgin and that he hadn't even kissed a girl yet. Loki always tried to stop all these things. But Tony had stopped him saying, "Let them Mom, Then no one will come after real me. these rumors made me a cover, now no one will be able to hurt real me through the cover,". He had to give it to his son. he acted his part in the public. Brought girls home and gave them a guest bedroom to spend the night while he was busy with Loki learning new magic. Loki let a sigh slip past his lips and got ready for bed and went to sleep.

"Now remember to call me when you got free time. Don't forget to eat and don't stay up all night having inventing binges and sleep regularly. And if you are too tired to go to class, you can always send a illusion, as you know illusion's memories will come to you after you disseminate it, that is if the illusion you is not dead. So you know what to do if someone try to kidnap you, correct? You can use the daggers and I have taught all the fighting techniques I know and you can always send a illusion and teleport yourself elsewhere." Loki rambled on as he fixed Tony's collar.

'MOM! I know. You don't have to worry I will be fine. I can remember everything you taught me, I won't let you down if I have to put those lessons to use."

"Good" Loki blew out a breath and took a few a deep breaths. Howard was sending Tony to MIT. Loki was not happy about it. But he couldn't do anything about it. He knew that Tony had get his Midgardian education, and according to Howard this MIT was the best. But he was still worried, Tony was only 15 and all the other students there were older than him. But Loki also knew Tony could take care of himself.

"Be careful yeah?"

"I will Mom. I will. I- um I'm gonna miss you." Tony looked down at his shoes finding them interesting. Loki made Tony look at him and kissed his forehead and smoothed his hair with his hand and made eye contact with Tony.

"I will be missing you too son." Loki's eyes were a little wet with tears as he watched his son get in to the car. He waved until it was out of sight and went back inside to the manor.

"Merry Christmas Mom!" Tony came running and jumped on Loki's bed. He wasn't worried about Howard since he had again gone out looking for Captain America.

"Uh Good morning to you too son and Merry Christmas." Loki sat up on the bed and watched amused as Tony started to make 2 piles of gifts. One was larger than the other. Tony gave the small pile to Loki and waited until Loki picked it up. Then they started to unwrap the gifts.

"Aw Rhodey sent a new tool kit." Tony showed a brand new tool kit to Loki. Loki had of coursed hear about James 'Rhodey' Rhodes. He was the boy who had become Tony's best friend. Tony was home for Christmas, even though Loki didn't see the point in these celebrations, he was happy that he got to see Tony. They spent the day eating various Christmas food that day. Loki and Tony made illusions and had snow ball fight out side that afternoon. And at night Tony came to Loki's room and they talked about magic and nine realms.

"Mom? I want to see Asgard."

"You can My darling you can. But not now, One day I will show you."

"Okay Mom, As long as you show me."

"Don't worry my child we have an eternity to see many things."

"Loki"

"Father!" Loki stared at Odin All-father who was standing in front of him. "What are you doing here?"

"I wanted to see how you are doing my son. And I see that you have a child."

"Yes I have."

"I'm happy for you son. When you return to Asgard, bring him with you. I would love to meet him." With that Odin blinked out of Loki's room. Loki stared at the place where his father was standing and let a small smile come to his face.

"Be good okay?" Loki placed a kiss on Tony's forehead.

"Sure Mom, no worries." Tony gave Loki a quick hug and let her go.

"Now, why is it that I don't believe it hmm?"

"Oh you know me too well. Fine Mom, I won't make anything explode."

"Good, go on say good bye to your father."

"Do I have to?"

"Yes, as much as you don't like him, he's still your father."

"Fine." Tony stalked towards his father's room and knocked on the door.

"Come in" Tony went inside and closed the door behind him.

"Tony! What is it?"

"Just wanted to say Good bye. Enjoy your trip."

"Your mother made you come. Didn't she?"

"Well yes, but I still came." Tony awkwardly scratched behind his neck and looked around trying to avoid his father's gaze.

"but not because you really wanted. But it's OK I guess." Tony nodded and left the room silently. He walked back to the living room where his mother was giving the bags to a servant.

"How did it go?" Loki asked as he saw Tony coming down stairs.

"Not bad." Loki nodded and Howard came down stairs and they all walked out to the car. Howard went to the driving seat and sat down after putting his bags to the back seat. Tony opened the door for Loki and Loki sat down and waved at his son. Tony watched as the car turned the corner and disappear. He went inside and started to practice the cloaking spell that mother had taught him, which is a spell that hides you from Heimdall's eyes and Odin. He eventually fell asleep on the sofa while the cloaking spell was still on him.

Loki quickly got out of the car and looked around. He knew had to make a dead Maria Stark before going to Asgard to heal his wounds. He used all the remaining strength he had and transfigured a stone to a body of Maria Stark.

"Heimdall, O-open the.. Bifrost." He manage to get it before he fell unconscious. Bright light of Bifrost appeared and took Loki to Asgard just as the police arrived at the accident sight.

ooO Asgard Ooo

Royal healers quickly moved to save their prince. Loki moaned in pain as the healers healed his wounds. Odin was worried as he went to look for his grandson. He didn't know what happened to make his son that much damaged. He sat down on the throne and searched through Midgard for his grandson. He searched for hours but came with nothing. He came to the conclusion that he must have died during whatever accident that brought Loki to the brink of death. He closed his eyes when he realized that Loki will be heartbroken when he found out about the fact his son was died. Odin went back to where Loki was sleeping now fully healed and blocked the memories of his Midgardian life. Odin was not happy having to do that. But he couldn't bare to see the look Loki will have. Odin threw a sad look at Loki and walked out of the room.

ooO Midgard Ooo

Tony woke up to the sound of someone pounding on his dorm room. He was on the sofa. Tony got up and stretched as he walked towards door and opened it. He came face to face with a man wearing a black suit. Man asked for him and Tony nodded his head in respond to let the man that he was talking to the right person.

"I'm sorry to have this news be brought to you. But your Parents died last night in a car crash." Tony felt like his world fall apart right under his feet. He didn't know what happened then, all he could do was stare at the man. He then felt a unnatural coldness creep through his veins. He saw his vision blacking before he fell in to the blissful unconscious.

When he woke up he didn't feel anything. But he felt tears that was running down his face. All he could think was that His mother was not there to sing to him and wipe his tears away. After that everything was a blur. He remembered the funeral. He stood there staring at his mother's face, wishing her to wake up and change to her true self. But it didn't happen. He remembered trying to stop them from burying his mom. He couldn't let them, his mother was not dead, His mother was immortal. But they held them back as they buried her. When he returned home that day he made a bee line to his mother's room and laid down and imagined his mother holding him. And that was when Tony finally realized that Loki was not coming back to him. he's not coming back to scold him, to teach him. That night Tony cried himself to sleep without anyone to wipe his tears away.
