Chapter 54
Loki spent the rest of the evening fiddling with the spell. He tried it out quite a few more times to the groans of the men as they had to see him in lingerie. Stark gave up and went to go play in the lab. You and Nat appreciated the show, plus it gave you a nice break from studying and an enjoyable distraction. Especially when he started cursing and pacing without putting on real clothes first. You took a video to enjoy later.
Late that evening, he finally had the spell working properly, though he refused to test it the last time. He did clasp the bracelet back around your wrist. "Darling, don't you have to get up early for your exams?" He asked, noting the late hour.
You nodded. "My first exam is at 8am," you whined. You looked at Stark. "Thank Pepper for giving me the week off, for me? There's no way I could handle work, finals, and everything else going on,"
Stark nodded in reply. "Don't worry about it, kid. All the interns have finals week off. Paid. We want you to focus on your studies. You'll do fine," he added a bit gruffly. You grinned at him.
"Thanks, Stark," you replied and returned to Loki to kiss him.
"I'll be up in a little while, darling," he told you warmly.
"I'm sleeping in my room tonight. You don't have to join me, I'll be up early," you replied, not wanting to disturb him.
"I will join you in a little while," he replied more firmly.
"Overprotective god," you teased. It was worse now that he'd been infected and had some of the wolf instincts on top of his own annoying overprotective habits.
"Annoying puppy," he teased right back and kissed you again before you went up to bed.

You made it through your finals and the last of the term papers and spent the evening after your last final getting plastered with the team in celebration of graduating college. "Can you even get drunk?" Stark asked after the first couple of rounds.
"Come hell or high water," you grumbled, intent on your mission.
Thor laughed and handed over the Asgardian booze. "This should help... what?" he added at Loki's glare. "Midgardian alcohol is not strong enough for her either," he explained as he poured you a shot. "She deserves to truly celebrate her achievement!"
And so you spent a wonderful evening with the team, laughing and celebrating, until Loki had to throw you over his shoulder at stupid in the morning and take your drunk self to bed. "Come on darling. You've achieved your quest to get drunk, little wolf. Time to sleep it off before you think kissing everyone is a good idea," Loki chuckled. You were extra affectionate when you were drunk it seemed.
"Would not. Only wanna kiss you~" you replied. Ok, maybe you were well and truly drunk.
"Of course you do," he replied dryly.

Graduation day came and the entire team went with you to the school. As promised, they were all in uniform, except for Bruce who didn't really have a uniform. You took the traditional graduation pictures, including some with your brothers who had come to see you graduate as well. Your group drew tons of attention because of the Avengers all in uniform. You had to sit through the boring speeches and finally got to walk across the stage.
Your group cheered as you did and Stark somehow shot fireworks out of his suit. You stopped to wave to them. When you turned to make your way to the dean to shake his hand you were blocked by a black and green wall. A very boyfriend-shaped black and green wall. You laughed when he dipped you backwards to the applause of the entire audience and kissed you deeply in front of them all. The crowd roared in applause and you gladly kissed your Loki. He set you back on your feet and vanished, letting you continue on your way across the stage. You took your diploma from the shocked dean and continued back to your seat, grinning at your perfect graduation.
The entire team and your brothers went out for dinner with you afterwards. "How's the pack doing?" you asked Dan while you ate.
"We're doing great. I'm having the compound torn down and making a proper little town instead. It's going to take awhile and a lot of work, but it's worth it so none of the wolves have to live like you did," Dan explained proudly. He couldn't change the past, but he was in charge of the pack now and could make sure they all had a bright future. "Selena just had a daughter recently. She already has all of the dominants cooing over her, so I think it's safe to say it's a fair bet that little Tamara is an Omega as well,"
"They've moved in with us!" Ethan exclaimed with teasing glee.
"Her husband died just after she got pregnant. Someone challenged him and..." he trailed off, making it clear what happened. "She moved in make sure she and the baby are safe," Dan said with too bright of a blush for that to be the only reason he let her into his home. You smirked knowingly at him. He would have to take a mate to remain Alpha and he'd been friends with Selena for years, so you hoped it would work out.

"Wake up, little wolf, we need to get going," Loki bid you early the next morning.
"Going?" you asked him half awake and cuddled yourself more comfortably in his arms instead of waking more.
He sighed and shook you gently. "Yes, darling. I have a surprise for you, but you have to get up now," he informed you and pulled the blankets back. You opened your eyes and reluctantly sat up.
"This is a good surprise, right? Not a 'let's sneak into the park at 3am and get the werewolf thrown in the pound' kind of surprise, right?" you demanded before you'd be willing to get out of bed.
"It's a good surprise, now come along, darling," he told you and got out of bed, grabbing your wrist to haul you out of the bed behind him. You climbed out of the bed before you got dragged out of it.
"Impatient god," you teased.
He chuckled in reply. "Maybe a little," he admitted. "But I do love spoiling you so," he added warmly and kissed you. "Now go get dressed so we can leave,"
"You haven't told me where we're going. How am I supposed to know what to wear?" you protested, quite logically.
"Anything besides pajamas is fine," he replied automatically, obviously having prepared to answer that question.
"Fine," you told him and kissed him again before going to your own room to get dressed and make yourself presentable. Loki met you outside of your room with an excited childish grin on his face and you couldn't help wondering what he was up to and why he was so excited. He took your hand and led you not to the common room, but outside, up on the roof. "Where are we going?" you asked him again, looking around for a jet or something, confused.
"You'll see," Loki told you with a smirk, and wouldn't say anything more. Thor came out onto the roof a couple minutes later. "Took you long enough, oaf," Loki told him with a grin. He enjoyed teasing his brother.
"Odin's beard, I'm five minutes early. Patience, brother," Thor replied with a grin.
"What are you two up to?" you demanded, but you had an idea. Loki kept saying as much, but of course he wouldn't want to interrupt your schooling, not when it obviously meant so much to you.
In reply, both boys grinned, Loki wrapped an arm tightly around your waist and Thor raised Mjolnir high above his head. "Heimdall, open the Bifrost!" he called.
Loki was making good on his promise to take you to Asgard.
