Shuri and King T'challa had arrived at the tower this morning after Tony had begrudgingly admitted he needed help with his new project and Bruce has suggested the foreign Princess would be of help.

Currently you were chatting to her in the lounge room while Tony organised his project and Steve and Bucky talked to her brother.

"I'm just glad I was allowed to come" she grinned, rolling her eyes. "My brother is worried that if I come over here then I'll get kidnapped-"

She gasped as a small black cat appeared on your lap, looking bored.

"Brother! What happened?!" She exclaimed as she scooped it up. "Why are you so small?!"

The cat hissed, twisting and turning as it tries to get out of her arms, looking over at you pleadingly.

"I don't know what you want me to do" you told it with a smirk. "This is your own fault."

"What are you talking about?" Shuri questioned, trying to hold onto the squirming feline.

"Shuri, why are you terrorising that poor cat?" T'challa asked as he walked over to the two of you.

"Hold on, that's not you??"

T'challa just rolled his eyes in amusement, watching as the cat finally leapt out of her arms and landed on the floor beside you, bristling in annoyance.

"Stop being a drama queen" you chuckled, nudging it with your foot.

"She's gone senile" Shuri whispered in concern. "Are the years finally catching up to you N/n?"

"Of course not, why?"

"Well you are talking to a cat."

"He's just being stubborn" you insisted, nudging him again. "Come on."

The cat rolled his eyes before changing form, a disgruntled looking Loki appearing sitting cross legged on the floor beside you. "Rude."

Shuri let out a yelp, her watch turning into a blaster that she pointed at the God.

"Hello Loki" T'challa chuckled, giving him a nod. "Long time no time no see."

"Likewise cat man" Loki smirked. "How's Wakanda?"

Shuri looked shocked, slowly lowering her weapon. "Who's this?"

"Loki Laufeyson, God of Mischief, Prince of Asgard and heir to the throne of Jotunheim" he introduced. "Greetings Princess."

"Long list of titles" she replied cautiously. "Y/n are you sure it's safe to sit next to him?"

"He's Thor's younger brother."

"My point still stands."

"It's probably safer than marrying him" you shrugged.

T'challa chuckled as his sister's jaw dropped while Loki grinned like the cat that got the cream (Pun intended.)

"You're married?!" She exclaimed, her eyes darting to your left ring finger. "Why didn't you tell me?!"

"I thought you knew! Your brother did."

Shuri glared at the King. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Sorry" he grinned. "Must've slipped my mind."

"Jackass."

"Everyone! I need your attention please!" Pietro announced.

He, Sam and Bucky had been having a basketball competition with the basketball hoop Tony had decided was a necessary addition to the living room.

Somehow, the speedster was tied with Bucky, the Falcon being absolutely useless at it with a whole one point.

"I'm about to score the winning shot" he declared proudly before turning to Kate. "This one is for you."

"Watch him miss the whole backboard" you whispered to Loki and Shuri.

As you predicted, he completely missed and it bounced off the wall only to smack him in the head.

"Tragic" Bucky smirked, throwing the winning hoop easily and going to sit with Steve as Kate wheezed with laughter.

"You can't laugh!" Pietro called over to a chuckling Loki.

"And why ever not?"

"Cause you couldn't get a hoop from there" he answered confidently.

Loki rolled his eyes and conjured a basketball before throwing it casually, landing a basket from across the room.

"Suppose I can laugh then" he smirked as Pietro looked shocked, Kate kissing his cheek as she continued to laugh.

"Princess Shuri, Mr Stark is pleased to inform you that the project is all set up" Friday announced.

"Thank you" she replied, straightening her pants her as she stood. "I'll help the shortass and then I'll come back to chat."

"Sounds good" you grinned as T'challa sighed, shaking his head as he followed his little sister downstairs.
