"Yeah. Ant Man. it's hilarious." Alek admitted with a snicker. "and this... ant man, kicked Falcon's ass did he?" "yes. yes he did." Alek admitted with another snicker and Steve laughed. "oh he is never living this down." Steve admitted with delight. "ah. well... Pym is probobly old enough that he's too set in his ways. maybe this 'Ant Man' will be a little more open minded." he mused before smiling a little. "alright, just try really hard not to freak out okay?" he asked Tony with a smile. "Well, i like listening to you babble." Steve admitted. "i never understand any of it, but it's cute." he admitted with a smile. "and i think having Loki around could be good for James too maybe?" he mused before shrugging. "i learned about this thing called the 'Don't ask Don't tell' and i found out what Gay was." he explained. "Gay wasn't used to explain homosexuality back then." he admitted. "or if it was i didn't know it." he admitted. "i looked up that next, homosexuality i mean, i didn't realize that it was... you know. okay." he admitted. "so i kept looking into it and somehow Homosexuality turned into this thing called Safe Sane and Consensual Knk and Fetish and i'm still not sure what those are, though i get the Safe Sane and Consensual part." he admitted, watching Tony play with James hair, smiling a little. he was trying to ease his way into telling the people he cared about, it was harder than he thought it would be.
while Tony was sleeping Loki and Thor appeared. silently. completely silently and neither made a noise. Phil had, in that time, warned the rest of the Avengers so when Thor walked in the front door with Loki, no one raised a fuss. Natasha just led Thor to his new rooms so Thor and Loki could get some rest. and when Tony got up Loki was sitting at the Kitchen Table with Thor fussing over him and Natasha was talking to a young man who looked very uncomfortable in a suit that didn't fit quite right. "Tony." Natasha said, looking very amused. "this is Peter Parker. Pepper sent him to be your new Intern slash Secretary slash babysitter." Natasha admitted, Peter offering Tony a shy, rather nervous smile. "it's an honor to meet you Sir. i'll do my best." he promised, glancing at Loki who was staring off into space. he hadn't stopped, though occasionally he would shift his eyes from one empty space to another if someone blocked his vision. it was... creepy. "Loki. eat.." Thor ordered, gently tilting Loki's head down, ignoring the short sound of protest that came from the godlings throat. once Loki realized there was food in front of him though, he began to slowly nibble on it, making Thor sigh.
