The boys looked around, unsure of what just happened.
"Um… Why am I wearing this?" Wally questioned.
"I think the bigger question is why a thirteen year old and fifteen year old have toys of their mentors." Wally's face burned red as he spotted the Flash plushie that he used super speed to hide.
"I don't know what you're talking about." The squeak in his voice didn't convince anyone. Robin picked up his batman plush and hugged it giving a shrug before adjusting the now slightly small sunglasses,
"It makes me feel safe." Robin answered with a shrug looking at the toy. A look dawned on the older boy's faces as the memories from earlier returned. Kaldur looked shamefully at the others.
"What's wrong?" Bruce asked.
"I would like to apologize for my behavior." Kaldur spoke.
"Oh, you don't need to, it's not your fault that you turned into a child again." Pepper soothed, though Kaldur didn't look convinced. Tony came back in with a slight twitch to the eye.
"Why is everyone in my room?"
"Sorry." Kaldur mumbled.
"It looks like we were trying on your cloths." Robin answered smugly. Pepper quickly ushered everyone out of the room before Tony could start shouting. Steve and Thor were sitting on one couch while Natasha stood near by. Her gaze softened when she spotted the young boys, especially how Robin was still innocently hugging the Batman toy. A slightly glazed look appeared in both Conner's and Robin's eyes. Confusion could barely be seen in Conner's but understanding was in Robin's.
"What was that?" Conner quietly asked.
"Our minds remembering what we did when we were turned little." Robin explained. Conner nodded slowly as a light red appeared on his face.
"oh." Robin turned to Pepper and smiled sweetly,
"Thank you for dealing with us."
"It was no problem at all, though Tony is still sleeping on the couch."
"I think it's a bit late for that." Wally snickered as he saw Tony passed out on the couch.
"I'm glad you're all back to normal." Steve spoke with a smile.
"Or as normal as they can get." Artemis jested.
"It is good to see you well young ones!" Bellowed Thor.
"So, how mad is Fury?" Robin asked as he perched on the arm of the couch. Clint handed him pair of sunglasses which Robin gratefully took.
"Well let's just say you won't be allowed on the helicarrier for some time." Natasha informed. Robin gave an impish smile.
"Good to know I haven't lost my touch."
"Any ideas about why we turned little?" Wally asked as he snacked on some celery while sending a glare to Artemis who started snickering.
"No." Steve informed with a frown. As Kaldur opened his mouth to speak a light appeared. There stood a man with black hair and green eyes, a frown on his face.
"Brother! What brings you here?" Thor greeted, though it was obvious he was distrustful.
"You can thank your father for that. I was quiet content in just staying in my cell, but the queen convinced him to send me here." the man sniffed in disdain.
"Who's he?" Wally asked, suddenly right in front of the man.
"My brother Loki." Thor informed, eyes still trained on the other. Wally and Robin looked at each other, a familiar glint in both pairs of eyes and matching grins in place. No one noticed the little exchange with everyone being focused on the current situation.
"No." Tony stated quite clearly, "No way am I letting him in my tower! Not after what he did last time!"
"What did he do?" Megan asked innocently.
"Brainwashed Legolas, almost killed everyone on the carrier, led an alien invasion, oh, and he built his doom and gloom portal on top of my tower!" ranted Tony. Loki gave him a disdainful look as he sneered.
"Please. All child's play. That was a mere fraction of my capabilities if I truly wanted to rule it would have been simple."
"Keep telling yourself that Reindeer games."
"If that is true that means you wanted to be stopped?" Bruce questioned. Loki chose to ignore the question in favor of his own.
"Please give me the gracious news that these young ones do not belong to any of you."
"No they are not kin." Thor confirmed. Loki tilted his head as he watched the group.
"You are not of this earth nor are you from any of the known realms." His gaze turned towards Kaldur, "But you do have strong magic." Kaldur crossed an arm over his chest to bow forward in a slight bow.
"I am Kaldur'ahm of Atlantis, protege of King Orin and leader of this team."
"This team is?"
"A covert team." Loki gave a nod at that.
"Woah, woah, woah. Hold up. You shouldn't be answering his questions!" Tony protested. Loki gave the other a dry look.
"Yes because I am oh so dangerous."
"I do not understand brother, mother had informed me that father has stripped you of your powers." Thor was met with a blank look.
"Your ability to understand dry wit continues to astound me." Thor still had a look of confusion as Loki turned his attention to the rest of the group.
"I am M'gann or Megan. I'm from Mars." Megan informed, taking cue from Kaldur that it would be alright to tell this man her name.
"I'm Artemis. Not much else to say than that."
"A human archer." something about that set the blonde girl on edge though she kept quiet to allow the last three boys to give their introductions.
"I'm Conner." was the only response the ebony haired super gave. Robin got the feeling that Loki wasn't fond of the teen. It probably had to do more with Thor than Conner himself if his observations were right.
"He's Wally." Robin spoke up as he poked Wally's cheek. Wally stuck his tongue out in annoyance before speaking himself.
"He's Robin." Both boys grinned.
"Right, great, now that introductions are over with what are we going to do with Rock of ages? He is not staying here." Tony growled out.
"There is no chance of him going to the helicarrier either." Clint pointed out.
"He's right up there with those two and Tony about who not to let on." Natasha informed. Ignoring Tony's squawking the two teens in question had satisfied smiles on their faces at the information.
"I suppose he could stay here…" Pepper mused.
"WHAT?" Pepper turned to the furious man.
"Yes. Think about it, everyone is living here right now, not just the Avengers but the teens as well. WHat better place to keep him? He doesn't have his powers so what harm can he really do?" Tony was still protesting as Pepper gave a nod.
"You will just stay here for now." The red haired woman then left with her protesting boyfriend right on her heels. WIth an eyeroll Artemis turned to Clint and Natasha.
"Is there a place for target practice?" Without a word the two assassins led the way with the blonde following. That left Thor, Steve and Loki alone with Kaldur, Conner, Megan and the trouble makers.
"Would you like something to eat?" Megan offered, "I could make something?" Raising a brow in question Loki just looked at the girl.
"Er, w-well um…"
"That sounds like a great idea Megan!" Robin spoke up with a smile. Giving a hesitant nod Megan went to do so.
"So this isn't awkward at all." Wally drawled as he dumped Robin onto the couch.
"You can't really blame us since last time Thor's brother visited he tried killing all of us."
"That was hardly trying." pipped Loki.
"Oh really?" Steve asked.
"Would you like to see me try?" Loki challenged.
"Woah, okay, rule number 1 no killing." Wally announced, arms wrapping around Robin's head, hugging him much to the other's dismay,
"We have little kids here and they shouldn't see such violence!"
"I've seen more death than you have!" Robin protested, though he was ignored.
"Rule number 2, no bad words."
"You know what Wally f-" Robin glared as his friend grinned, hand firmly over the bird's mouth.
"Alright." Steve agreed, sending a warning look to the Prince of Mischief. A ringing caught their attention and with that Steve took his phone and left to take the call.
"Come young warrior! Now that you are grown I wish to see the extent of your combat training!" Thor announced, naively trusting his brother not to get into trouble without his powers.
"Training sounds like a good idea. Conner would you like to join us?" Kaldur offered.
"Okay." Conner agreed. Robin and Wally watched the trio leave with their heads tilted around while they sat on the couch.
"You know I'm a little disappointed." Wally noted.
"I know. I mean you'd think they'd learn by now." Robin agreed.
"Guess we should teach them why leaving us unsupervised is a bad idea."
"I agree." Both boys then turned to Loki with matching grins on their faces. They leant forward in their seats. Robin let his eyes peek over the rim of his sunglasses as both he and Wally looked to the man.
"We have a proposition for you." Robin started. Loki was silent for some time before a smirk made it's way onto his face.
"I'm listening."
A.N: I'm back! I'm sorry it took me so long to update this. It was a combination of school and avoiding re-watching the young justice episodes. I am not kidding when I say that I finally re-watched some of the episodes only a few months ago. I have not watch a single episode since the show was cancelled. I will try to write more soon but I can't say when it will be posted next. I will try my hardest to post again in a couple weeks. I have work and collage going on at the moment.
