Chapter Text
Tony's p.o.v
Loki looks so beautiful in whatever form he is in it shocks me. I stay away from him as his powers slowly come back to him. Loki looks up at me and I slowly approach. Loki suddenly cloned more of himself and I backed away again. As soon as I walk away he starts crying and my heart just sinks, I want to be with him and to hold him.
We all sit back for about half an hour before Loki calmed down and all the clones disappeared. This time Thor started approaching and Loki lifted his arms up as a signal he wanted to be picked up by his older brother. Thor without holding back he swooped his younger brother in his arms. Loki held onto Thor with a tight grip and leaned against him exhausted. I approached and saw that his eyes were struggling to stay open "Can I take him?" I asked. Thor looked hesitant and looked down at the baby in his arms before he carefully handing him over to me. Loki looked up into my eyes and I held him tight against my chest "You're safe now" I carry Loki to the kitchen and I was going to get a bottle for him but he was fast asleep so brought him over to his room and put him in his crib, turned his monitor on and jumped into bed rewinding on the stressful situation while heavily staring at the monitor which showed my peaceful baby sleeping.
I wake up to the sounds of crying so I walk to Loki's room to see that it wasn't from Loki. I step outside the door and gently closing it not to disturb him and I follow the noise all the way down the stairs and out the front where a small boy is. I lean down next to his side and sit next to him "What are you doing down here?" I look at the young boy and he is shaking. I put an arm around him to try and calm him down and that's when my gaze was met with his little hazel eyes. "What's your name?" I look down at his little body and I saw he was extremely skinny. "Peter," he replies hesitantly. "Hi Peter, how old are you? Where are your parents?" he flinched when I brought up his parents. "Oh, I'm sorry. Do you want to come inside?" He nodded and I got back up onto my feet and helped the frail boy up onto his feet where he wobbled a bit, I picked him up and carried him indoors. The others looked over and Steve laughed "What is it with you and finding random children and bringing them in?" I glared at him and put him down on one of the stools and motioned for Bruce to come over. "Jarvis, can you find more information about this boy please?" I go over to the kitchen and make him a sandwich. "Peter Parker, Six years old, son of deceased parents Richard and Mary Parker." Everyone stares over at the little boy and I hand him a sandwich and a carton of apple juice. "Are you okay? You can trust us don't worry. Are you hurt." Bruce leaned down facing him. He nodded and his eyes were red from crying. "Jarvis, does Peter have any living relatives we can contact?" I sat down on the stool next to him. "May Parker is an aunt who I am unable to contact." Bruce and I look at each other. I hear a little cry and I know that little cry, "I will go get Loki. I don't think we should introduce them yet because of earlier today." Bruce nods and I walk off to Loki.
I open the door to his room and I see him laying down in his crib with a little excited grin and it warmed my heart. I scoop him up into my arms and smile "Hi baby". Loki giggles and kicks his little legs. I change him and walk into my room which was connected to mine. I go over to my bottle maker and start making Loki a bottle. I put Loki down in a little swing but he starts screaming whenever I try to put him down so I kept him in my arms. As soon as the bottle was done I sit down on my bed and feed Loki and just watch his little face. He has been getting back to a healthy weight for his age and he has definitely been happier.
Loki and I spent all afternoon with each other. I put on many different songs for him to learn and familiarise such as the ABCs and he enjoyed looking at the different animals I showed him. His favourite song has unfortunately become baby shark. He loves watching all the animated fish on the screen and he claps his little hands when the song comes on. It is really cute. I really feel like I have become a parent and I love it. I feel like I have a bond with Loki because I know I'm his favourite, he usually cries if I give him to anyone else to hold except Thor.
I snap out of it when Loki starts coughing. I pat his back and he coughs up a little bit of popcorn I must have left on my bed from the other day. "Loki, come here are you okay? You can't eat solids yet Loki, you are too young. You worried me." I saw he had tears in his eyes and I held him close to my chest and I could see it was dark outside. I rest him in my arms until he falls asleep in my arms. I put him in the small bassinet I keep in my room just in case if Loki is fussy during the night so I kept him by my side until he fell asleep. I quickly change and fall asleep with the bassinet next to me with my sleeping baby inside it.
