Loki spent the rest of the school day at Morgan's side. He wouldn't risk another incident with her health. Not after the horrendous gym class. He spent his time watching over her, wondering just how badly she'd been injured in the attack that day and just how much of her life his actions had caused her. He hated that she'd been injured, hated that she still bore the scars of the battle to this day.

Luckily, she had no other incidents that day, besides being fatigued from the gym class. She let Loki walk her back to the tower and he helped her sneak up to her room to take a nap, slipping past her father without them being seen. She clearly didn't want to tell him about the incident in gym class. Loki wasn't about to break her confidence over one incident. If it happened again... then he would risk Tony's wrath to bring it up.

But only if it happened again.

The next day was Saturday, so Morgan didn't have school and Loki didn't have to escort her or guard her. However, that didn't mean that he didn't want to see her. The Starklet was interesting and sparked his curiosity. She had magic. He knew she did, but he hadn't seen any sign of it since the battle of New York.

So Loki waited for her to come to breakfast that morning to spend an entertaining morning with the Starklet. Except the troublesome little Starklet didn't come to breakfast. That worried Loki, especially when it got too late and even more especially after her medical issue the day before, so he went back upstairs to check on her. The path between his suite and hers, and the common room and her suite was well traveled by the god by then. The entire team knew it and Tony pretended he didn't.

When Loki got to her room, he knocked politely on the door and found that there was no Morgan in her room either. Definitely a troublesome little Starklet. "Lady Morgan?" Loki called out. "Where have you gone?" He asked the question to himself, not really expecting an answer. Though things didn't always happen as expected in the Avengers' Tower. In fact, things usually didn't happen as one would expect.

"She is down in her lab, sir," Jarvis told Loki, announcing it from a speaker above Loki's head. Jarvis answering random questions around the tower, even when not directed to him, was definitely in the norm in the tower.

Loki looked at the ceiling, still getting used to the AI. His instinct was to treat it like a servant and be polite to it. It controlled a lot of the tower, he'd found out. "How long has she been there?"

"A couple of hours," Jarvis replied, sounding displeased. Loki bet that Morgan had gone down to work without eating breakfast. She was too alike to her father in some ways.

Loki nodded, though wasn't still entirely sure if Jarvis could see him. "Could you tell her I'm coming?"

"Yes, sir,"

Loki quickly made his way to the floor where Morgan's lab was. He knocked on the door before he walked inside. Morgan had already given him permission to enter her lab whenever. He'd proven his trust. "Lady Morgan?" He asked when he saw her.

Morgan glanced up from her project and gave him a bright smile that warmed his heart. It was rare for people to be glad to see him and the little Starklet always was. "Hey, Loki,"

"Hello, Lady Morgan," he replied warmly, returning her smile with a soft one of his own. "It's time for breakfast." He figured she had forgotten.

His theory was proven true when her bright smile turned to a pout. "But I'm working," she whined, resembling her father far too much.

Loki chuckled, finding her absolutely adorable. "You'll be able to focus better when you're not hungry," he reasoned far too reasonably.

Morgan knew that a Loki would not be easily dissuaded. So she got up from her lab table. "You're stubborn," she grumbled at him, but good-naturedly.

Loki chuckled and offered his arm to her to escort her to breakfast. "Let's get you fed, Starklet,"

Morgan took his arm and let him drag her from the lab. He didn't really have to drag her. She went easily enough once she remembered that food existed and her friend wanted her to eat. Loki escorted her to breakfast and seated her at her usual chair. He was a gentleman after all. She gave him another brilliant smile in thanks as she took her seat. Loki took his own seat across from her and had a moment to notice her arc reactor glowing through her t-shirt before Barton set a plate of pancakes in front of each of them.

Loki looked curiously at the food in front of him. Pancakes were new. He looked at them dubiously, unsure about the fluffy food.

Morgan grinned at his adorable reaction and started doctoring her pancakes with butter and syrup. Loki recognized syrup. He loved sweets and had gotten a rundown on as many sweet Midgardian foods as he could "Barton makes the best pancakes," Morgan informed him. "They're sweet," she reassured Loki as she helped him doctor his pancakes. He took a careful bite and purred loudly when he did. He felt the boost to his magic almost immediately. "Like them?"

"They're amazing!"

Morgan grinned "I think so too,"

Loki beamed and devoured the sweet pancakes. He loved that Morgan shared his love for sweets and she seemed to perk up with the sugar too. That was no surprise since she had magic, even if there was no sign of it.

The team seemed more amiable to Loki since his friendship with Morgan had solidified. He didn't understand it, since he didn't trust them as far as he could throw them, but he understood that it was Morgan's influence that had swayed them. Thankfully, after Barton finished cooking and left, the pair were alone in the dining room.

Loki looked at Morgan as he ate, glad he no longer had to deal with the team. "Going back to your lab after breakfast?"

"Unless something more interesting comes up," she replied. She got distracted a moment later and frowned over at her alarm when it went off. She tried to silence it, but Jarvis was insistent.

Loki jumped at the alarm with a soft hiss. He really was an overgrown cat. "What's that for?"

Morgan sighed and blushed. "To remind Miss Stark to take her medications," Jarvis said grumpily

"Medicine? For what?" Loki fretted, already looking over Morgan with his magic. His friend needed medication??

Morgan sighed again and grumbled about Jarvis tattling on her. "Weak heart and lungs and asthma," she replied sheepishly as she dug her pill container out of her pocket to down her meds. She didn't want to draw attention to the fact that her medical conditions were because of his attack on New York.

Loki nodded. "There's no shame in it,"

She raised an eyebrow "You don't think me a weak little Midgardian?" He'd complained about the mortals often enough.

"Of course not," Loki replied, shaking his head. Morgan got an exception. She was Morgan.

"Happy now?" she grumped at Jarvis when the pills were gone.

"Extremely, Miss Stark," Jarvis replied dryly.

"Jarvis is like an overbearing parent," Morgan grumped to Loki, looking like a grumpy kitten

"A second Stark?" Loki teased her fondly. They were friends. Teasing was allowed. It wasn't mean-spirited, just friendly.

"Yes, but one who's with me everywhere. Permanent babysitter,"

Loki chuckled. "You get into nearly as much trouble as I do when you're not even trying," he reasoned. It was perfectly logical for her to have a permanent babysitter.

She stuck her tongue out at him and laughed "Do not"

"Not from what I've observed," Loki replied, laughing along with her.

Morgan smirked at him "See if I take you with me on my next adventure," she threatened. Loki chuckled and shrugged, not threatened in the lead. Morgan's smirk only got smirkier, resembling Loki's own mischievous looks. "And here I was going to introduce you to ice cream,"

Loki raised an eyebrow. "Ice what??"

"A dessert. A very sweet one. You do like sweets, right?" Morgan teased innocently. Loki absolutely adored sweets, which they both knew perfectly well.

Loki nodded. "I love sweets."

"Then you'll like ice cream," she informed him easily. She got up from the table, which Loki had magically cleared of all the dirty dishes. "Let's go,"

Morgan ignored that Loki was supposed to have a babysitter to leave the tower. She could babysit a Loki. Totally.

Loki went with her without complaint. With sweets and his mischievous friend involved, he definitely wouldn't talk about his lack of a babysitter.

What could possibly go wrong?
