Chapter 51

 So you finished your breakfast and Loki immediately vanished the dishes. "Impatient god," you teased. He smirked.

"High and mighty," he corrected, as that's what you usually called him when he was being obstinate. "Also impatient," he finally agreed as he stood and pulled you to your feet.

"You're bringing her back in time, right?" Tony asked. Loki inclined his head.

"In time for what?" you demanded, but Loki was already pulling you from the room. "In time for what?" you repeated firmly.

"You'll see," was all Loki would tell you. You huffed and rolled your eyes, but his excitement was infectious and he was acting almost puppy-like. It was adorable. Soon you were in the car with him and he was driving you...somewhere. He still wouldn't say where.

You felt the puppy-like joy when he pulled into the parking lot of the amusement park. "I haven't been here since I was a puppy. They used to take the good puppies here once a year," you explained as your eyes lit up at the memory. You hadn't been in years, since you'd stopped being 'good' enough for the yearly escape from the compound. How'd you know?" you asked Loki as you bounced out of the car without waiting for him to open the door.

"Dan suggested it might cheer you up," Loki admitted as he came around the car and grabbed your hand before you could bound off without him.

"Well maybe he can do things that aren't moronic occasionally," you commented.

Loki chuckled. "You did make him Alpha for a reason," he reminded you and kissed one of your wolf-ears. "Even Thor has moments where he does things that are not moronic,"

You laughed at that, but got nervous when he had kissed your wolf ear. "I should probably..." you gestured to the ears, not wanting to upset the humans.

"Nonsense. The mortals will know who we are anyway," Loki told you. That was true, you were always identified anytime you went out. Your work with the team and your relationship with Loki made you famous and somehow even in normal casual clothes you always got noticed. He was right, it wouldn't make the recognition any worse if your wolf ears were out, and it would make the wolf happy. Loki walked up to the ticket counter and showed them something on his phone, which led to you having super shiny VIP passes.

"How'd you manage this?" you asked, staring at the bright gold VIP pass.

"Stark," was Loki's simple reply. You nodded. That was a very valid answer. Tony probably could have bought out the park if he'd wanted to.

You entered the park and Loki had to grab your hand to keep you from running off without him. "C'mon!" you told him with glee. He laughed.

"Darling, we have VIP passes and get to skip the lines. There's no reason to run, little wolf," he teased. People were beginning to notice you and pictures were being taken of the god and his whirlwind of an Omega. Loki relented and let himself be led quickly to your favorite ride at the very back of the park. You tied your hair up as you walked, then handed a hairtie to Loki. He raised an eyebrow, he rarely wore his hair tied back.

"Trust me," you told him. He sighed and glared at the hairtie. You laughed and stood up on a nearby bench. You ran your fingers through his hair and listened to him melt over it while you deftly tied his hair back for him. "Trust me, you don't want your hair loose today. It'll just end up a tangled mess." You kissed him while you were taller than him and hopped down from the bench. "You've never been to an amusement park, have you?" you asked. He shook his head in reply. "Oh, this'll be such fun," you teased and took his hand again to drag him toward the giant coaster at the back of the park.

Unfortunately for Loki, the way the entrance to the coaster was set up in such a way that you couldn't see it was a roller coaster. Not that he likely knew what a roller coaster was anyway. You jumped to the front of the line thanks to Tony's passes and climbed into the car. You explained about the seatbelts and safety bar. Loki rolled his eyes that he was not breakable, but obediently fastened the 'annoying mortal devices'. "You can't stab the worker when he checks the safety bar, no matter how close his hand gets to your 'manhood'," you added firmly when you saw the workers coming down to do just that. You heard a snort of surpressed laughter from the people in the seats behind you. Loki huffed and rolled his eyes again, but agreed to not stab the workers.

The ride finally started and you watched Loki's look of casual interest as the car started along the wooden track, meandering around a flagpole, through a little archway, and finally to the hill. He didn't look concerned as the car climbed the hill, though he was confused at the sounds of excitement from the others. The excitement grew when the second chain engaged and the car sped faster toward the top of the hill. There was a slight pause at the top when Loki seemed to finally realize that this was not a meandering car ride. You looked out over the park for an instant before the car fell. You shrieked in delight, holding onto the bar in front of you while your stomach flew, as you actually lifted off of the seat momentarily as you fre-fell toward the earth. You slammed back into the car and leaned to the right, grabbing Loki's arm and hauling him to brace himself too, bracing for the next turns of the coaster, shrieking and giggling in delight. You hadn't ridden this coaster in years but you still remembered every twist and turned, still remembered where to lean to not get banged up by the old wooden coaster and you were still laughing in joy when it pulled into the exit.

Loki looked disheveled and windblown, but was laughing at the mortal entertainment. You helped him climb out of the car and continued on our whirlwind of the park. There was one other ride you had to sneak him onto for the pure excitement of seeing his surprise. "Why is the seat wet?" Loki asked suspiciously when you dragged him onto the water ride and sat him down in the marked seat. The seat didn't say why it was marked...

"There's a water gun that goes off part of the way through the ride. There must not have been anyone sitting there last ride," you told him innocently. He didn't quite look like he believed you, but by that point it was much too late and the ride had already begun. It started with a nice meandering of the boat, then a couple small rapids. And then the water ride truly began, especially when the staff had recognized you and saw you sit Loki in the marked seat. He was drenched within a minute of the ride starting, and spluttering like a wet cat every time one of the staff, or the small children who paid for the pleasure, used the water guns. You were both drenched after the drop at the end of the ride.

"I'm wet," Loki whined when you got off the ride, wriging water out of his shirt. You were laughing and doing the same thing. Your shoes squelched as you walked away from the ride. "That was rude, lady," Loki told you, but he was laughing too, even as he wrung water from his hair.

"It was fun," you protested. "Besides, it's not like you can't use magic to dry off," you reminded him. He was just being a drama queen, complaining when he was perfectly capable of drying off quickly. He inclined his head and used magic to dry his clothes and hair. He gave you a smirk. You rolled your eyes, knowing he was taunting you into asking him to do the same for you. Instead, you turned and hugged him, wrapping your arms around his neck.

"Blech!" he exclaimed at being wet again because you hugged him while drenched. You laughed and flicked your wet wolf-ear against his cheek. "Get off, before I smell like wet-dog too," he grumbled and you laughed again. "Fine, fine!" he added quickly when you didn't let him go. An instant later you and your clothes were dry.

"Thanks, love," you told him warmly and kissed his cheek.

You spent the rest of the afternoon playing in the amusement park, riding every single ride and eating way too much greasy delicious park food. Loki won you a stuffed animal from one of the arcade games after you'd explained the custom, and warned him he couldn't cheat and win with magic.

You were both tired when you left the park late that afternoon, though Loki still insisted on driving the two of you home. "Wake up, little wolf," Loki teased when he parked the car back in the garage. You opened your eyes and realized you'd dozed off on the way home.

"Sorry," you murmured.

"No need to apologize, we still have a long night ahead of us," he told you warmly.

"What long night?" you asked, but he wouldn't answer, instead just led you to the elevator and pushed the button for the main floor. You stepped into the living room and saw that the the entire room had been filled with blankets and pillows on the floor, a stack of DVDs, bottles of nail polish, hair brushes, some kind of makeup kits, and way too much food and alcohol were spread strategically around the room. The entire team was in pajamas.

"Welcome to movie night!" Nat greeted you and grabbed yours and Loki's arms to haul you into the room. "We ordered pizzas and Tony has alread refused to have his nails painted again, so that'll be fun!"

So you watched silly movies with the team, Nat held Tony down while you painted his nails. The Asgardians had their hair braided, as did you and Nat. You ate way too much food, and all ended up passed out at down in a pile of bodies and pillows. You were spooned around Loki, protecting your adorable little spoon who was still uncomfortable falling asleep in front of the team, with Thor warm at your back, both you and Loki were using Thor's arm as a pillow. It was a perfect evening and just felt so accepting to have fun with the team.
