Chapter 10: Lokitty (IRL)
Loki in many senses was different. They were genderfluid, they were the deity of Mischief. They also happened to turn into a cat when they wanted attention. Thor knew this and the Avengers had learned recently. Today however was the day they first experienced Lokitty. Lokitty was both an angel and a demon. One minute they would be asleep on your lap and the next they would be clawing at the couch.
"Where is Lokitty?" Tony asks, looking around worried for his couch's sake.
"Do not worry they are right here asleep" Thor says pointing down to the seat next to him.
There is a little black kitten blending in with a fluffy blanket. They are snuggled up to Thor's side.
"I could get used to them being like this all the time" Clint says smirking.
Everyone murmurs in agreement and continues to look at the fragile kitten.
"This is not what I expected to be doing when I was older" Tony says while smirking.
"What, you didn't expect to be watching over the Deity of Mischief to make sure they don't claw the couch to shreds?" Nat jokes.
Tony rolled his eyes as everyone else just snickered. The kitten on the couch stretched out its paws and yawned.
"This is so strange," Bruce says, shaking his head.
Suddenly Dr. Strange appeared through an orange portal.
"GAH!" Bruce yips backing away.
"Did you call my name?" Strange says seriously.
"No! We said this is so Strange!" Tony says, done with this crazy world that he lived in.
"Oh" Dr. Strange says as he slowly backs away through the portal.
Bruce looks like they are about to faint.
"I hate everything," He says.
Nat snickers and takes a seat on the couch next to Loki.
"Can I pet them?" Nat asks Thor.
"Depends if they try to claw you to death or not!" Thor says happily.
Natasha carefully stroked Lokitty's head twice. Lokitty looked pleased and didn't make a move to scratch Nat so she took that as a sign to continue petting Lokitty's head.
"Ok, I've done a lot of weird stuff but this is by far the strangest thing I have ever done." Nat says, still stroking Lokitty's head.
"What you didn't think you'd be petting the Deity of Mischief in cat form" Tony countered with a smirk on his face.
It was Nat's turn to roll her eyes now. Lokitty looked up at Nat with they're eyes wide. Peter walked into the room after he just woke up.
"Since when did we get a Kitten?" He asked, walking over to Lokitty and petting their head.
"This is Loki. They were found in this form this morning" Thor says, looking at Loki weirdly.
"Are we sure this is Loki?" Peter asked, looking at the cat he was still petting.
The other Avengers grew uneasy looking at that, except Thor he looked as if Peter asked a ridiculous question.
"Yes of course I am sure! Loki has shifted into this form enough times for me to know when it is them!" Thor says.
Peter nodded in understanding and drew his gaze back over to Lokitty. Who was awake but barely.
"How long have they been sleeping?" Peter asked, examining the tired kitten.
"I don't know about last night but they have been sleeping most of today with spurts of energy to destroy my couches!" Tony says in an accusatory tone looking at Lokitty, who mews back innocently at him.
Tony pouts and points at Lokitty.
"Just don't do it again!" He says.
Lokitty mews innocently again and walks closer to Peter who is now sitting on the couch.
"The Spider Child stole my sibling!" Thor pouts as he crosses his arms.
"The Mighty God of Thunder throwing a fit, what a sight!" Tony laughs as he snaps a picture with his phone.
Thor stands up and Tony runs quickly out of the room where Thor follows him yelling "Throw it away!".
Peter laughs as he pets the kitten that had gotten closer to him.
"This is so weird" Banner says as they walk out of the room.
Now only Clint, Nat and Peter are left in the room.
"I would say you got it but this is Loki we are talking about, even as a cat they could still cause mischief." Nat says.
"They already have! The poor couch! I liked that couch, it was comfortable" Clint adds sadly.
Peter nods looking at the kitten laying next to him who is blinking their eyes lazily.
"Looks like they're tired," Peter says.
Nat nods and takes a seat on the other side of Peter (The one without Lokitty). Clint joins her and they sit silently for a moment.
"Want to watch the Hunger Games?" Clint asks.
"That's all you ever want to watch! Just because Katniss has good bow skills!" Nat argues.
"Not true, it is a high quality movie!" Clint argues back.
"Let's watch Frozen?" Peter asks, trying to bring peace so they dont wake the now sleeping Lokitty.
"Fine" Nat and Clint say at the same time.
Peter shakes his head and grabs the TV remote and goes to Disney+.
"I still can't believe they made movies about us! Why did stupid Sony have to buy mine though! I wanted them all on the same platform!" Peter complains. Deadpool glances over from the microwave. "You're walking a dangerous line there kiddo."
Peter looks over at him.
"What are you talking about?" Peter says.
"Also what are you doing here?" Asks Nat
"A dangerous line" Deadpool echoes. "And I'm microwaving my pancakes."
"Why are you microwaving pancakes?" Asks Peter.
"Because they're cold."
"That's what you choose to ask? Not what he's doing here?" Nat says incredulously.
"Nah he pops in all the time! The other day I saw him facing the wall and saying something to someone! I couldn't see a phone though '' Peter adds as an afterthought.
Deadpool looks at you and shakes his head.
"Weirder things have happened," says Nat, "Let's just watch the movie."
"Yeah" Clint agrees, turning to look over at where Deadpool was.
But Deadpool wasn't there anymore, however the window near the microwave was open and had a Deadpool sticker on it. Clint looked away a little shaken as he thought "What a strange dude".
Peter clicks the movie Frozen and hits the play button.
"Anyway now that the microwave's free, does anyone want popcorn?" Peter asks, looking towards the microwave.
Loki transforms back into themselves and says "Yes please popcorn would be great"
Peter and Clint jump out of their seats while Nat looks stoic as ever.
"My apologies I didn't mean to scare you" Loki says looking wistfully at the microwave.
Peter is clutching his chest and says "Yeah I can go pop some popcorn."
Clint has recovered from the scare a bit and Nat looks amused. "I'm going to get some soda too while you're there so I'll join you" Clint says standing as Peter does.
They walk over to the Kitchen and get busy doing what they need too.
"You wanted to scare them didn't you?" Nat asks, smirking.
"Of course, I may be changed but I am still the Deity of Mischief" They say Mischievously.
Nat Smirks at them as the two came back with Popcorn and Sprite.
"Sorry we only had Sprite since that's the only thing Bruce drinks besides Coffee and Water!" Clint complains.
Nat smiles slightly.
Peter, Loki, and Clint exchange a knowing look and smile at each other. Nat glares at them which makes them look away and go back to looking at the movie.
After 1 hour and 30 minutes of the Glorious (Purpose, oop wrong thing lol) movie Frozen.
"That was a good movie, relatable" Loki says.
Clint looks at them incredulously.
"Relatable?" Clint questions.
"Yes," Loki says, giving no further explanation.
Clint raises his hands in defeat.
"I think it's time for bed." Nat says to the 2 teenagers.
"Wwwwwwwwwhhhhhhhyyyyyyyyy" Peter whines.
Loki sits resolutely with their arms and legs crossed not saying anything.
"FiNe!" Peter says giving in a few minutes later.
Loki also agrees to go to bed.
"Goodnight children!" Nat jokes.
She hears grumbles as the two go to bed.
"Children" Nat mumbles.
"You know one of them is like a 1000 something years older than you!" Clint says.
"SO, in human years they are only 16-17!" Nat exclaims.
Clint shrugs and turns to face the TV again.
"Sooooo, how are you and Bruce doing?" He asks.
"We're doing good, not quite ready to tell the others though." Nat replies.
"Yeah if they heard you guys were dating they would be planning your wedding!" Clint adds laughing.
Nat laughs too.
(Que dramatic movie zoom out that fades to darkness)
