To be Loki'd - Loki x fem reader

Chapter 13 - Hide n seek

I stood staring at the doorframe from which he had left, utterly zoned out until a certain redhead sauntered in with her usual unreadable poker face. 

"What's up babe?" I asked a cheery Nat who had probably come as well for the food. She settled in one of the revolving stools and immediately went to grab a carrot cupcake between her nimble fingers, barely hazarding me a look up. 

"Call me babe once more Y/n and I will seriously hurt you." she mumbled in between two mouthfuls with her gaze focused solely on the bowl of colourful fruits standing an arm's length away from her. 

"Sorry. I'll keep that in mind.... babe." I smirked and she scowled deeply, flipping me off the second I said those words. 

"Bitch." she replied casually whilst taking another large bite from the indulgent delicacy. I could see from where I was that some of the frosting had gone on her fingers as little mounds clumped together. 

I leaned against the marble countertop across from her, my eyes now aligning with hers and with a smile, retorted, "Bigger bitch." 

"Infinity bitch.", Nat flipped her hair behind her and flashed a challenging grin, finishing the cupcake which probably meant it wasn't half bad. 

My face soured at her cheat so I just changed up the insult like one might switch out something for another, "Hoe." 

"Triple hoe." 

For a second we don't say anything, intently narrowing our eyes at the other before rapidly bursting into loud ripples of stupid laughter, as had become custom from Nat and I's friendship. 

"Who's the triple hoe?" asked Tony; he had come once again into the kitchen. He lifted an eyebrow whilst looking over his cupboards, fridge, sink, stoves, ovens and overall kitchen to make sure I had not utterly wrecked it whilst baking up a frenzy. 

"I'll do you one better, what's a triple hoe? As far as I'm aware there is no such thing as a triple farming object." Thor looked around for an answer from any of us, having just now heard the end of the conversation, which I can distinctly recall not involving them. Now, Thor already knew some curses from Earth but not all of them. That and the fact the word 'hoe' was ambiguous as it was a farming object and an insult. 

"Don't you worry about that Point Break." Tony answered, clapping his hand on Thor's back and stealing another freaking cupcake.

Barely a few seconds later Sam strode in, followed by Bucky and Steve. Like all the others before them, they swooped down on my freshly baked goods as soon as they saw them. Bucky mumbled something with his mouth full that made both Sam and Steve choke on their food so hard that me and Nat had to pat their backs.

This had turned into a full-blown Avengers meeting, without my consent.

I clicked my tongue in annoyance before asking as calmlu as I could, "How did you all know I had baked? Like every. single. fucking. time." I raised an eyebrow as Tony looked away smugly. 

Not even damn guilty. 

"Well, I may or may not have programmed JARVIS to tell me and the team when you baked. Or when it smelt good in the kitchen." he answered with a snarky grin. 

"TONY!" 

"What? I'm doing everyone here a favor. Plus its my tower, my kitchen, my utensils, my money and my- for god's sake-", whilst talking he turned round to face the living room and hollered, "TABLE CLINT!" 

We all faced where he was shouting at to notice that Clint had casually put his feet up on one of the coffee tables. The archer just shrugged, knowing very well he would do it again and put his feet down to join us in the kitchen, taking another cookie. Tony scoffed very loudly.
