"What the hell??"

Tony was standing in the doorway. Loki and I pulled away, my cheeks were probably a dark shade of red and I knew his were. But he was a lot better at hiding how flustered he was.

"Nothing! Tony what are you doing here?" I cried.

"I was looking for you! I was concerned about Zaylee," Tony cried. He looked absolutely shocked that he caught the best one on the team kissing their biggest enemy. I hate how everyone hates Loki. He had a hellish childhood, and he took it out on Earth, but he regrets it. They didn't see how gentle he was with Zaylee. He comforted her to the point where Zaylee said that she didn't need me because Loki was there.

"She's wonderful, actually, Mr. Stark," Loki said coolly. "She doesn't even remember it."

"That's good... Now, next question: Why were you kissing Claudia??" Tony shouted at Loki. "Have you lost your damn mind??"

"I kissed him, Stark," I said, rolling my eyes.

"But..."

"But what, Tony?" I asked.

"But he's Loki," he muttered.

"So what?"

"He tried to kill us, Clauds!"

"You don't know the side of him that I know! He's a better father than you guys are to Zaylee! I'm not being mean to y'all, but Loki has been here for about a week but he's so nice to Zaylee, and he's told me his past. You don't know it. He's probably the nicest out of all of you, he's just pushed away. Stop judging him Tony!" I cried, taking Loki's hand and running out of the room. I knew I overreacted but I was done with everyone judging Loki.

I was just done.

When we got to my room, Loki took my hand in his and sat down next to me on my bed.

"Love, don't you think you overreacted a bit?" Loki asked calmly.

"I know... And I feel bad, but you're so much more than what he thinks," I rubbed my face to calm down.

Loki wrapped his arm around my shoulders and I leaned into him. "I'm so tired of them being mean to you."

"I know you are, and I'm thankful," he whispered. "But you don't have to snap at people like that."

"I'm sorry Loki."

"Don't be sorry, pet," he said. "It's alright."

"I love you," I whispered. "I know it's really early in the relationship to say that, but I love you."

"I love you too."

It was 5:30 pm and Zaylee was on the bench while the starting 5 went into the court. The whole Avengers team was at the game, considering it was her first, and she looked very nervous. Her school's team was really good for the amount of time they had to practice, and scored at least 20 points in the first half. The other team only scored 6 and was probably very angry that this school, who had never had a basketball team before, was kicking their ass.

On the second half, Zaylee went in, pale as a ghost, and to give her confidence Loki shouted "GO ZAYLEE!"

She smiled a little to the stands before going to her place and waiting for the ball to come to her. She caught it and the person guarding her got real close, ready to catch the ball. She continuously dribbled and ran to the spot of the closest person before darting to the goal. The person took the ball, ran to the goal, and shot, but missed. Zaylee went to grab the ball but another girl grabbed it too, causing them to pull it. Zaylee used her training as an Avenger to jerk the ball away and shoot.

Swish.

I screamed louder than ever while everyone on the team congratulated the young Avenger. She was smiling like crazy before catching up to her man without a problem. She went to guard her and when the girl started to get aggressive, Zaylee planted her feet, pushed her rear end into the girl, and caught the ball that was going for her. She passed it on and took off down the court.

It went on like that for the rest of the game, and the team ended up winning. Zaylee was hyped and after she came out of the locker room, she bounced with excitement.

"We won!!" She laughed, hugging Steve's waist. "We won!!!"

"Yeah!!" Tony laughed, patting her shoulder. "We saw you try to snatch the ball! Thought you were gonna kill her!"

"I got mad," she laughed.

"Good job, kitten!" Loki smiled. "I'm proud of you."

"Thanks Frozone."

"Who's up for pizza?" I cried.

"Meeee!" Clint, Tony, and Zaylee laughed. We all went to the car and climbed in. Bruce was happy that Zaylee was okay, and everyone else was bragging about how great of a player she was.

Soon enough, I took out my phone and started to film it. Zaylee was singing along to the song Sober while Clint danced and everyone else was background singers. Loki wrapped his arm around my waist and I turned off the video, posting it on my Snapchat. Loki kissed my head gently and I smiled.

"I'm glad we came."

"So am I."

Yaaayyyy Zaylee won her basketball game and Loki is a total dad.
