Steve stood hidden away in the trees near the local beach watching a few early morning go-getters that were jogging along the sandy beach though it was rather cold outside. Steve and Tony had always been iffy around each other, nothing too bad but never fully trusting the other but they had had the Avengers which had been all they needed, they hadn’t needed to be friends to protect the world. But Steve had screwed up everything, his friendships, the Avengers…everything and all for Bucky, the man he thought was his best friend, someone he thought would always be there and be trustworthy and the man who just disappeared. What was worse is that Bucky had taken everything, the little bit of money they’d had, the small amount of food that Steve had felt bad about acquiring because it had all been stolen from stores when they’d been in one or houses that they’d broken in to during the day when the people were at work, he took the clothes and everything else that wasn’t on Steve’s body. When he’d awoken the next day he saw that Bucky was gone, he thought that maybe the man had gone out to get something that they needed but as he looked around and noted everything that was missing it hit him and it hit him hard that his ‘best friend’ was gone and he was penniless, foodless, wanted and utterly alone. He sighed and leaned against the nearest tree and looked back over the beach, impatiently waiting for either Tony or Jarvis to come get him, call him a coward but Steve was hoping that it would be Jarvis coming to get him because he was sure that the AI would be less angry to see him.
“Steve” Peter bounced over, his eyes dancing over the place to make sure that no one was watching them “Are they going to be here soon, I know it’s only five in the morning but the sun is really coming up” He rubbed his arms and his eyes danced around the beach again, Steve turned his blue eyes to the sixteen year old kid that had been helping him the last two months.
“Yeah” He answered “Tony promised someone would be here, he wouldn’t lie”
“Well actually” Peter said, his eyes darting around still “You broke up the Avengers, you royally fucked over Mr. Stark and chose a criminal over your friends…he could lie and no one would hate him for it, hell, he could call in Shield or the FBI and they could be setting up a sting” Steve gave him a cold look as worried tugged at his heart “But he won’t” Peter added in quickly “I don’t believe he would do that” His tone told otherwise.
“I wanted to thank you, Peter” Steve said after a moment, Peter’s eyes snapped over to him and the Avenger frowned slightly. Peter’s enhancements were easily hidden and no one, not even Shield, knew about him because Steve was making sure that it was possible for him to remain hidden but the teenager always seemed out of breath like he’d been jogging for miles, his eyes darted around like he was used to sneak attacks and he was very jumpy “Without your help, I would likely be near-death”
“You’ve helped me too” Peter pointed out “A lot”
There was the sound of someone landing heavily deeper in the woods and then the sounds of branches being snapped and broken. Steve and Peter turned and looked in the darkness and before their eyes Iron Man stepped out and stood before them, not speaking or making any gestures. Peter’s eyes were so wide that it was amazing his eyeballs hadn’t fallen out of his head, but Steve’s eyes were narrowed in worry and his jaw was tensing and relaxing repeatedly. He was nervous about seeing Tony again because he knew what he’d done but what the Iron Man didn’t realize or maybe it was what he wouldn’t accept was that he had changed too. It was all Hermione Granger that had changed him, his focus changed, and his interests were no longer in new technology or protecting the world but convincing her that she loved him. He was no longer a strong Avenger but a weak man in love, and there was nothing wrong with that, Steve urged him to fall in love with her and to be with her but Tony seemed to want it all. Love, marriage, children, family and the Avengers and Steve would admit that he wanted the respect that Tony possessed and maybe that was why he did what he did…not that he would ever admit that aloud.
“Steve” Tony greeted “The beach is starting to get more visitors, we won’t get away if we don’t leave soon”
“Alright” Steve said “Where are we going?”
“England” Tony answered and watched the other man roll his eyes slightly “Or I could leave you here to live in the sewers like a ninja turtle!”
“No” Steve said “Thank you for your help, so how do I do this?”
Tony didn’t speak the whole time they were getting him situated, there was a boat out in international waters and maybe he should have told the old man that, but hearing him mutter under his breath about the comfort level (or lack thereof) and the timeframe he’d be in that discomfort made him internally laugh. In the end, Steve was clinging to his back like a life-sized backpack and his little teenage friend wrapped ropes of what appeared to be spiderweb around the two assuring Steve that it wouldn’t break without the use of a knife and even then, it would take a lot of force. Tony held back his semen inspired jokes though it was a physical struggle, but the kid was just that a kid and he didn’t want to come off as a creep. They said their goodbyes and then the teenager jogged off to go home, wherever it was he lived, and Tony and Steve were alone for the first time in a while, Tony however, didn’t want to talk to him now that he could. Hermione was upset with him for going after Steve though she understood friendship and would run off to help Ron if she had to, Banner didn’t say anything but his eyes flashed green and if it weren’t for Ginny talking to him and coaxing him to go out and get something to eat the Wizarding world would have met the Hulk and Jarvis just shook his head like he was disappointed in Tony and then started to converse with Luna. Thanks to Steve, again, he was at risk of losing everything he fought so hard for and though losing Hermione would completely break him the thought of having Jarvis mad at him bothered him a lot too. He took a sick pleasure in the small surprised gasp that came from the other man when he took off without warning him that he was going to and then they were climbing higher and higher in to the sky where it was cold and a little damp, where it was uncomfortable for anyone who wasn’t in an Iron suit.

Luna, Ginny and Hermione were sitting on the couch in Hermione’s apartment. There were two bottle of wine opened and empty and they were giggling like mad, talking about the teenagers that they had spoken to a few days before. Luna had been hit on just as much as Hermione had been, the blonde didn’t know what to make of it as she never noticed that men were struck by her at all. Ginny got a kick out of the marriage proposals that Hermione had gotten, loved hearing about Banner, Jarvis and Tony’s reactions to the school and the grounds. She told them that she wished that she had been there, she always loved seeing the looks on peoples faces when they first see Hogwarts, it was the wonder and joy at the magic that just oozed out of the place even if no one was waving their wand around. A person could just feel the magic and that was amazing in itself. Hermione stood up and walked around the room, a little haphazardly considering how much wine she’d drank, she looked out the window and let out a sigh before turning back to the giggling girls.
“Ginny there’s something I need to tell you” Hermione said, she hadn’t told her in the four days since she learned that Steve was going to be making an appearance that he was coming back around “You may not like it”
“And I need some advice” Ginny said “You first”
“No, you” Hermione urged.
“You spoke first” Ginny countered.
“Just talk!” Luna exclaimed, being drunk always made the blonde a little more ballsy than she usually is.
“I really like Banner” Ginny said, then rolled her eyes “Not like, like. Just a normal like. We’ve gotten really close, he’s been trusting me and as you saw the other day when he was mad about whatever it was you guys had been discussing with Tony, I’m able to help him keep him…himself when he’s angry”
“Which I thank you for” Hermione said quickly “And also what I need to talk to you about, but continue on”
“Well” Ginny sighed “I’ve been out of work for a while now and money is getting short, I’ve no-where to live and really don’t want to live with mum and dad anymore…I’ve been offered another job in Egypt”
“That’s great” Hermione said “So why do you need advice?”
“Because, stupid” Luna slurred “She’s not sure she really wants to leave because he secretly is in love with Banner and won’t admit to it”
“I’m not in love” Ginny snapped “But I don’t want to lose his friendship, I don’t want him to think I just moved on to greener pastures”
“What I have to tell you may not only make you want to leave but will have you running to Egypt” Hermione said, she took a deep breath and then opened her mouth “Tony is probably on his way back from America where he just picked up Steve”
“Steve” Ginny repeated, she frowned and then heaved a sigh “Wonderful, now when I see him I’ll feel like a moron because I let him lead my around by my tits for so long!”
“If he says anything I’ll punch him in the throat” Hermione promised and Luna laughed.
“Are you kidding me?” Luna said through her laughter “Jarvis fucking hates Steve because of what he did, if he so much as winks at you there’s the possibility he’ll rip him apart…it’ll be fun to see, you should stay”
“Are you sleeping with Jarvis?” Hermione asked, the two had been very close those last few days and now she was curious.
“No” She looked at Hermione like she just suggested that she was sleeping with Grawp “Jarvis is my boss…”
“That you gave a hand job to” Ginny said, roaring with drunken laughter and Luna gave her a withering look which made her laugh harder.
“I was helping him” Luna defended herself as well as she could given the fact that she was drunk and still unable to explain her actions to herself.
“That’s how Harry got me to give him his first hand job” Ginny said in a serious tone as she finished the last of her wine “Told me I was “helping” him let go of some stress”
“I felt bad” Luna insisted “That’s the only reason I did it”
“Same here” Ginny said with another serious nod of her head “Poor Harry Potter, orphaned, hated by all the Slytherins, hated by Snape, chased around constantly by Voldemort and now…he’s got a boner and all he’s asking is for a hand job” She heaved a long suffering sigh “So, I just had to help him”
“That’s hilarious” Luna said, without a hint of laughter in her tone “But in all honesty, I am not sleeping with Jarvis” She looked at Hermione “I’m just…I mean, he’s like a robot…can he even properly shag me?”
“Can you properly get off with a vibrator?” Ginny asked and Hermione nodded.
“Just think about it like that” Hermione said “He’s got the…tool for the job, you said so yourself, you even said it was rather large if I’m remembering right” Luna nodded “He can walk around and move like a normal man, so I think he can…” She circled her hips and bit her lip while wiggling her brows.
“I guess sex is possible” Luna tilted her head to the side and thought about it, images of what it would be like to have be with Jarvis like that.
“Okay” Hermione said “We need to figure out what you’re going to do about Steve coming here, considering that he’s likely already here at Tony’s apartment, what you’re going to do about Banner and…most important!” She lifted her empty glass “We need more wine!”
All three girls were so drunk that even apparating would be dangerous. They talked about what would be a good idea, calling Ron would lead to him giving Ginny an earful about drinking instead of out looking for a husband so that was out of the question. Calling Harry was always a good idea but he’d been busy recently with work and on top of that he’d want to know why they felt the need to get so wasted and their love lives was not something they wanted to share with him. By the end of their conversation they had even entertained the idea of sending a Floo call to Draco to have him bring over some more wine but with his father getting worse and worse it was not the time to bother him. They all leaned back in their seats, pouting about the unfairness of having to get sober again and deal with their lives without the aid of wine, there were a few accusations of not thinking ahead and getting more alcohol. It was poor planning on their parts, Ginny had been the one to come up with the idea that they get together and talk about their lives and any problems they had, Luna had brought one bottle of wine and Hermione already had one bottle…they were really dumb sometimes.
“How about just calling Jarvis?” Ginny asked “Luna, promise to give him a lap dance” She wiggled her brows.
“Won’t work” Luna sighed “I get horny when I get drunk…I’d end up shagging him like crazy and then it would make things really awkward between us at work”
“She’s got a point” Hermione said “Plus, Gin, you know that we all get horny when we’re drunk…do you think it would be a good idea to see Banner right now with the way I’m sure you’re feeling?”
“No” Ginny answered “Probably not, what about Stark?” She looked at Hermione “Aren’t you two already shagging, what difference would it make then?”
“First off” Hermione said, raising one finger to them “I am pretty pissed at Tony over the whole bringing Steve here thing, plus…he and I haven’t had sex yet so…I’m worried about the whole changing our work relationship”
“I know who we can Floo!” Ginny bounced up and down on the couch “George”
“George?” Luna repeated “Why him?”
“George is cool” Ginny said “He won’t judge us, he won’t ask questions. We’ll Floo him and his friend who claims that he’s not his boyfriend and yet lives with him and is super close to him” She giggled “And they can bring us some good wine”
“Floo them!” Hermione screamed and they all laughed.

George and Loki were sitting on the ground with their knees touching, both men had their hands splayed out on their knees inches from each other and their eyes were locked on the others. They had done a lot of research, read through Fred’s notes, fixed some of the already existing products that had some small problems with them and then went over all the things that they wanted to work on. Then George made dinner, they consumed it and now they were staring at one another, Loki showed him his special brand of magic which interested George to no end. George asked it he could teach him how to do it and while Loki said that it wasn’t likely he would ever learn to do it, he would teach him, George was concentrating so hard the vein on his forehead was popping out. Loki’s eyes danced over the red-haired man with a frown, George was changing him, he could feel it and knew that he was thinking more about people’s thoughts and feelings. He had never been a cruel person though others would tell him that was untrue, he just liked to use other peoples fears and dislikes against them. His new friend, however, was teaching him that while that was highly amusing it wasn’t something he had to do all the time, a part of Loki hated George for this new knowledge. The red-haired man groaned and sat back, letting out a long breath and looked over and Loki, offering up a small smile and a shrug before looking down at his hands and frowning. He knew that George was beating himself up over not being able to do his kind of magic and much to his surprise, Loki found himself wanting to comfort him.
“My special brand of magic isn’t like your own” Loki said, soothingly “Mortals weren’t meant to be able to produce this kind of magic” As he spoke he multiplied himself so that his own twin was sitting next to George and then another popped up on the other side of him “You know that I can’t do your brand of magic”
“I just feel like a failure” George said, there was a hesitation before George reached out one long finger and trailed it down Loki’s index finger, twirling it around the tip of his finger and raising his eyes to the teal colored stare of the God of Mischief.
“What’s happening here?” Loki asked him, wiggling his fingers between the two of them “Between us, I mean”
“I don’t know” George answered “I’ve never…dating was never a big thing for me in school and after the war I never gave much thought to it because I had lost Fred and…what about you?”
“I’ve been alive for thousands of years” Loki said “I’ve married, I’ve dated, I’ve had sex with men, women…I’ve produced children that have been Demi-Gods, mutant, monsters and normal”
“Wow” George looked at him with a small smile “That makes me feel like a bloody virgin”
“Compared to me” Loki laughed “You probably are. I’ve had sex in positions they haven’t even put in the Karma Sutra, yet…likely never will” He looked off for a moment and then laughed “I once got stuck in a position during sex that involved a tree and had to have my lover go get Thor to help me out of the tree…I’m still hearing those jokes”
“Do I dare ask…” George put his eyebrows up.
“You don’t want to know” Loki answered with a laugh, looking down at their entwined hands “Let’s just say that I got a lot of splinters in strange places” They were laughing when Ginny called through the Floo network.
“GEORGE!!” She screamed and giggled.
“What’s wrong?” George asked, walking over to the fireplace with Loki behind him.
“Hermione, Luna and I have an emergency!” Ginny said.
“Is everything okay” He asked “What happened?”
“GEORGE!” Hermione fell in to view “We need you to come here, now!”
“Why?” He asked, fear written in his tone and all over his face.
“Listen carefully” Hermione said, getting all serious “We need you and Loki to go to the nearest store buy like…four bottles of wine and get your cute asses to my apartment and drink with us!”
“You want the five of us to drink together?” Loki asked, shocked that she was inviting him in to her home, surely Tony had warned her that he was evil and not to be trusted.
“Five” She repeated, thinking for a moment “You’re right, you should probably buy six bottles instead of four”
“And this is an emergency?” George asked with an annoyed look “I was worried”
“Sorry, big brother” Ginny said, giggling “Its just we can’t call Banner to bring us wine because when I’m drunk I’ll want to fuck him” George started to choke “Luna is drunk and if Jarvis comes close she’ll likely jump his bones and Hermione…”
“Yeah, yeah” George said quickly “She’ll all but rape Stark, got it”
“No, no” Ginny shook her head so hard she nearly fell over “Hermione is very angry with him because he’s being a moron. So, we don’t want him over here…please, we’re starting to sober up!”
“Give us fifteen minutes and we’ll be there with the wine” George promised and the girls cheered.
Loki followed George in to the nearest store and watched him purchase the wine, he muttered about his stupid sister drinking too much. Loki had asked him if they were going to just drop off the wine and go back but George told him that it was up to him, since Thor made the unexpected visit to the joke shop Loki had had to explain his part in taking over the world, why the Avengers hated him and why his brother had been so adamant that he come back to the apartment with him. Since those confessions, George made sure that if something they did had anything to do with one or more of the Avengers then Loki was the one to make the decisions. They walked up the stairs to Hermione’s apartment and knocked, the door was instantly thrown open by George’s red-haired sister who all but dragged them inside.
“Thank Merlin” She said “I thought you were never going to get here”
“It was ten minutes” George muttered but she was already running off to get the glasses of wine for all of them “Do you want to stay and drink?” He looked at Hermione who was wearing a pair of boxers and a tank top with her hair braided “If we stay and drink we spend the night”
“It’s fine” Loki answered, his eyes too were narrowing on to Hermione and a small grin tugged at the corners of his mouth “I think this could be fun”
They sat down and while it was awkward in the beginning, Hermione was definitely nervous around Loki but as the night wore on and the wine settled even deeper in the girls and started to make the guys a little more at ease the closer Loki got to Hermione then more private their jokes became and the more they seemed to have in common. George and Luna were the first to fall asleep, they had been cozying up to one another and bonding, Ginny had curled up with her own bottle of wine on the couch and passed out. Hermione convinced Loki to draw on their faces and he got great amusement in the fact that for once he was the one that was being talked in to doing something bad. If this had been before he met George, he’d had been convinced that Hermione Granger was his newest soul mate, but the thought of hurting his new friend (boyfriend?) made him feel sick to his stomach. After there were mustaches drawn on, eyebrows shaved off, penis’s drawn on to various places on their bodies, muggle paper clips clipped on to ears, clothes hangers placed on Georges nipples and other terrible things that were done to them Loki laid down on the loveseat and looked at Hermione. She smiled and walked towards him and sat down near him, he laid down with his eyes still on her and once again she smiled and followed him. Hermione laid down in front of him, sighing when his arm went around her waist, her eyelids drooped from too much wine and the late hour and she fell asleep there in Loki’s arms. Hermione was unaware that in 6 short hours she’d be awoken by the sound of her front door slamming in anger and that when she jumped off of the loveseat and looked out the window she’d see Tony and Jarvis leaving quickly.
