Babysitter

Hello! Thought I'd jump on the domestic bandwagon and try writing outside my comfort zone with a little SuperFamily Shipping! So wish me luck, this story wont drag on like all my other ones and it wont be rated M. I do not own anything. Enjoy this story.


Chapter One

"Man of Iron! Man-of-Iron's-Special-Friend!" The god of Thunder bellowed as he crashed through the balcony's glass window, again. His steps shook the contents of Tony's shot glass as he lounged in his recliner, playing a simple game of chess with J.A.R.V.I.S. Thanks to Thor, the pieces danced out of their places, ending the game that he was currently losing. Oh thank you.

"What up, oh guardian of ass?" Tony's play on words went unnoticed as Thor dropped Mjölnir to the floor.

The loud noise brought Steve- with his shield in tow- running down the hall in his socks to see if there was any sort of danger. It was when he skid around the corner did his jaw slack and his eyes widen. His and Tony's living room floor was covered in glass because Thor preferred entering in such a manner that doors were just too… inconveniencing for him. Before he could voice any complaint, Tony walked over and draped his arm around his shoulder, giving a comfort squeeze and a peck on the cheek. Such a small action had Steve blushing and uncomfortable with public displays of affection.

"Something is wrong with brother. I urgently need your help. Bring the spice lady!" Tony could clearly see the worry in Thor's eyes but that did not stop him from rolling his or sighing. Without bothering to correct Thor on Pepper's name, he downed his shot and relished in the bite that it gave.

Steve and Tony had sent Peter away with the Asgardians for the week because of their upcoming anniversary and both of them so desperately needed some alone time. The fact that Steve's first choice, Pepper, was busy with work in another country for Stark Industries left the two with only Loki and Thor to ask. With their adopted son Peter walking around at all hours of the day, it was almost impossible for Tony to behave, but that did not stop Steve from deterring any advances.


At first, Steve was against the very thought of Peter hanging around Loki. He still didn't trust the trickster after so much had happened. When the fight with the Chitauri blew over and Thor took Loki back to Asgard, everything calmed down enough so that others could move on with their lives. Natasha and Clint did numerous missions together and would pop in every now and again to say hi (and to crash Stark Tower), and Bruce would drop off the map for weeks on end until he'd send Tony a cryptic message or two. Some were jokes and other times they were questions that had him stumped on one of his most recent scientific projects. The gang still kept in touch from time to time and when news of Tony and Steve's marriage caught wind, everyone attended their wedding.

It was a beautiful event that was both outlandish and simple. Steve tried to keep it classy while Tony wanted to add his flair into the planning of the wedding. They somehow even convinced Fury to sing a song or two during the reception. It just wasn't expected to see him attempt 'Beez in the Trap' with a straight face. Tony still believed that it didn't happen and that everybody was possibly drugged. The rest didn't matter though because not far after, they adopted Peter, a sweet little boy who was bitten by a spider. Everything was becoming a Happily Ever After for Steve Rogers. He had a life that he always wanted, a family and not to mention great friends...but his little dream formed a crack two years later that Steve was rudely awakened to a sudden crash of glass. The impact shook everything in such a way that even Tony fell out of bed. That alone was enough to wake up and ask, 'if it was breakfast yet?'

What surprised the family was that there was a pair of Asgardians fighting in their living room. Thor sat on Loki's back while delivering what he had learned from Tony as, 'the noggie' while Loki was shouting his own form of obscenities via foreign tongue. Thor's laugh thundered as he continued to pester his brother so much so that Steve was about to throw his shield if they ever woke Peter.

All was lost when the little boy shuffled in with tears streaming down his eyes while clutching to his blanket for dear life because the loud noises scared him. His shrill cry did not go unnoticed as Steve picked him up and began to coddle him while Tony just cleared his throat. Both fathers held a protective look in their eyes as Thor jumped up and hugged the family. He was able to lift them off the ground, and that goaded a slight noise of discomfort from Peter.

"Brother look! Steve and Tony hatched a little one of their own!" Thor's voice caused Peter to hide his face in Steve's neck as he gripped his blanket tighter. Tony could hear Loki smack his forehead with his own hand.

"Don't be a fool, brother. Midgardians don't lay eggs." Loki snapped while dusting himself off. Shards of glass just seemed to fall with just a wave of his hand while he slicked his long hair back and out of his eyes. Without even being told, he extended his arm and the glass that was broken on the floor just melted away and formed back where it used to be, as if they never broke it in the first place.

"Thank you" Steve murmured as Thor was careful to lower them back down. Now that Peter could get a better look at the two strange people, his eyes held wonder, confusion and dare we say intrigue?

"So what brings the God of Thunder and Princess Disney to our home?" Tony wasn't really paying much attention as he began to pop his back, his sigh of content would usually bring a dopey smile of content, but not today. Normally Tony wouldn't be so cranky, but nothing was pleasant as falling off the bed and this unexpected visit was cutting in on his snuggling time with the Capsicle.

"Apologizes."

Both Loki and Thor did not catch the reference that was just made, but good ole Steve had to bite his lip to hold in his laughter. Of Course he'd get it now that he and Peter have watched every Disney movie. Peter did enjoy watching the heroes and how they saved the day; his (and Tony's) favorite was Wall-E. Oh how he loved his boys.

"The All-Father claims that Midgard is a wondrous place to teach humility. It has worked for Thor and now he wishes the same effect on me." Loki stood straight with his arms crossed behind his back as he stepped forward to stand by Thor. The two of them looked like giants to Peter as he held his hands out for Thor. The first chance that Peter got, he tugged hard on both of Loki and Thor's hair and giggled. Steve opened his mouth to scold Peter but Tony's hand magically appeared on his ass and gave a squeeze. That alone distracted him enough as he glared at Tony.


"You can't be serious?" Tony looked over the rim of his glasses at the sight before him. He had followed Thor back to their temporary residence only to see the inside was covered in webs.

"The little one has been quite a handful. He's been breaking many of Loki's things and has been climbing the walls late into the night." Thor was quick to nudge a stack of soda cans out of Tony's line of sight with his foot as he looked up to the ceiling. Apparently Thor thought that all midgardians could shoot webs and climb walls.

"Thor..." Tony was almost at a lost for words; so he scratched his head and looked around for a moment. "What's been going on here?"

Thor smiled as he made his way through the living area and into the kitchen, which was a bigger mess than anything else. There were mysterious spills on the counters that looked like chocolate and macaroni and cheese and some sort of green goo, plates stacked high as...well..the ceiling and the icing on the cake for the disastrous kitchen was the pyramid of pop tart boxes on the table that kind of separated the two rooms. Surprise, surprise, Thor grabbed a pop tart and added the box to the pyramid, almost completing it.

"The little one and I craved pop tarts the first day he was here." He took two huge bites and finished the delicious treat, but remembered the words of his brother and swallowed all of it before talking again. "Then he-"

"Wait, you mean you two ate all these boxes in two days?" He thumbed over his shoulder to the massive pyramids. Thor just nodded with pride and puffed out his chest,

"What's wrong with that?"

"There's over three hundred boxes Thor!" Aw man. The Capsicle was going to have a field day with this if he ever found out. He never liked giving the boy sugar, and from the way that Tony could see where this trip was going, he could knew why. Thor just shrugged and gave a sheepish smile,

"Don't be mad Man of Iron. Not all is bad. Peter and I went and got so many because of the prizes inside. See?"

Before Tony could say anything, Thor pulls out a cube like structure. The pieces were clearly not supposed to make what was constructed but Peter had cleverly put together what Tony could recognize as a 'Menger Sponge'.

"Atta Boy." Tony approves. "Now where is Loki?"
