Practicing hair textures, and I figured the best way to see that was with white hair. So I decided to make a game to see how many DC characters have white hair, and apparently there's a lot of them. I also wanted to practice faces as well, since I'm a little worried that I'm starting to suffer from same face syndrome. I can be pretty lazy tbh.

Here's a list of the characters names, first page:

(Top row)- Dolphin, Slade Wilson (Deathstroke), Lyta Hall (Fury), Eddie Bloomberg (Red Devil), Essence.

(Bottom row)- Tora Olafsdotter (Ice), Abby and Tefe Holland, Rose Wilson (Ravager), White Rabbit, Nathaniel Adam (Captain Atom), Nura Nal (Dream Girl)

Second page, top row- Dawn Granger (Dove), Daniel Hall (Dream), Toni Monetti (Argent), Flatline, Silver St. Cloud, Silver Banshee, Faye Gunn II, Olive Silverlock

Made a few mistakes here and there, like the black stripes in Abby's hair. But I'm fine with this drawing, except for poor Nathaniel Adam. I was trying to copy the artstyle from his 1987 series but well, I'm not happy with the result. Sorry Captain Atom!

Anyways, hope you like it!

Iron Man’s greatest rival is a dolphin in a mech suit? (Yes, really) 🐬

Some probable retirements remain outside such a probability thanks to the fact that this type of an announcement would've thrown their musicians into a void of financial loss. Look, the Hollies still tour – lucratively, I assume – and there was a time, when they did release some records to complement their concert, though the last happened a while ago. However, Then, Now, Always does sound like a disc one makes to bid a farewell. There's only one member left from the original group and the chance of one final platter from the surviving of that line-up is impossible, because many have died since then. The Hollies now are basically a simulacrum of their memories of the 60's with the modern production techniques, but they are close to their end.

Love Story

Pairing: Arthur Curry x fem!reader

Warning: making out & abduction

Y/N’s POV

We met two years ago, I worked at Tony’s Sunken Galleon when we met, he’s the sweetest man ever. When he told me he could breathe underwater I didn’t believe him at first but he showed me, it was the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen in my life. 

Flashback

“I want to show you something Y/N.” Arthur holds my hands while looking down at me. 

“What is it?” I look up at him. 

“You may think this is crazy but I can see underwater, breathe underwater, and I can understand animals.”

“Are you lying to me?”

“I’m not, let me show you Y/N/N.”

He takes me to his dock, “Sit down Y/N.”

I sit down on the edge of the dock. Arthur takes his clothes off and jumps in the water, he pops his head out of the water and approaches me “Do you trust me?”

“I do.”

“Take your clothes off and let me show you that I’m not playing games with you, we promised each other that we would be telling the truth.” I take my clothes off and he grabs me by the waist and slowly takes me in the water. I hug him.

“Now I’m going to take you underwater, once again do you trust me?”

“I do.” I look at him. He takes us underwater, I close my eyes, I hear him doing something, I hear dolphin noises, he takes us out of the water and I open my eyes and a dolphin is in front of me, this is my first time being so close to a dolphin. 

“He wants you to pet him.” I look him and said, “How do you know?”

 “I can hear animals and they can understand me.” 

“How is that possible?” I pet the dolphin while saying.

 “When my parents met, my mom, she’s like what I am but she got killed because of me.” 

“Don’t say that about yourself Arthur, she could be out there somewhere.” I touch his cheek.

“Atlantis killed her Y/N and I know it.”

End of Flashback

I believe him, I’ll always believe him. But I’m obviously not going to tell my family and friends about his powers. They’re going to think I’m crazy.

Ever since then he’s been wanting me to go in the ocean to see what’s happening, but I’m a human and I can’t breathe underwater. One day he took me in the ocean but in a ship underwater.

“Y/N!” I hear in the distance.

I turn around on what I’m doing.

“Arthur.” I walk up to him.

“What is it?”

“I wanna show you something.”

“Okay.”

“It’s underwater.”

“You know I can’t breathe underwater right?”

“I know but, come with me.” He takes me to my dock and see a ship.

“What is this?”

“It’s some type of ship but you can ride it in the sea.”

“But how can I be in it?”

“There’s a mode for humans if they’re riding it. So you ready?” I nod and he takes me in the passenger seat of the ship.

6 minutes into the ride

I look around where we’re at and Atlantis looks beautiful! I see a dolphin and the way it’s looking at me, it knows who I am.

“It’s the dolphin you saw two months ago.” Arthur says.

“How do you know?” I look at him.

“The way he’s looking at you.” Now that’s adorable!

9 minutes later

We get to a sunken ship and Arthur gave me scuba gear I try to get it on me when he parks the ship on the ocean floor. He guides me to the sunken ship and the ship looks interesting. We get in the ship and how can this be an air pocket?

“What is this place?” I asked while taking the scuba gear off of me.

“A friend of mine showed me this a few months ago, it’s an air pocket as an extra layer of precaution.”

I look around and the whole place looks breathtaking.

“Why do you want to show me this place?” I look at him.

“Just wanted to show you what the ocean really is. And.” He picks me up to put me on a small wooden table.

I giggle.

“And we haven’t been alone in long time.”

“I like where this is going Arthur.”

“I hope you do.”

He begins to kiss my lips, I kiss him back. Later on, he kisses my neck, his beard starts to tickle my neck, I start to giggle again, I can feel him chuckle on my skin, he knows how it feels on me.

I hear something muffled, I get scared so I stop Arthur.

“Arth, I hear something.” I put my hands on his chest to make him stop.

Arthur looks behind himself and men in white and red armor come in the ship.

Arthur protects me.

“Who are they Arthur?”

“Atlantean soldiers.” I get more scared.

Arthur starts to fight, I start to run but one of the soldiers caught me, I try to fight back but I blacked out.

I wake up in a small room with a window and I see Arthur chained up. He gets shocked by one of those Atlantean Soldiers, I can hear his yells and how much he’s in pain. I’m in chains as well. I bang on the window to get Arthur’s attention, he looks at me, his face expression changes.

“Here we are again.” Someone said. Arthur looks at the person.

“Vulko. I can explain.”

“You brought a human to Atlantis, what if she gives information to other human beings?” Vulko approaches Arthur.

“I know her, she would never do that.” Vulko looks at me.

“Would you give other people information about Atlantis?”

I feel a gun on my back I look at the person and the gun, it looks like something I’ve never seen before. I hear the gun almost go off, I quickly say, “I won’t! Please don’t hurt me!” The gun didn’t go off.

“Vulko! Don’t do this to her! Get away from her!” Arthur yells at Vulko. I began to shake, I’m that scared.

“What if we do this to her?” Vulko looks at The soldier grabs my hair and put the gun back to my back, I start to scream.

“Get away from her!” Arthur screams.

“You love her don’t you?” Vulko went closer to Arthur.

“More than anything Vulko.”

The Atlantean Soldiers eventually released Arthur to be with me. I wait for him. He enters the room, I look at him and ran to him to hug him.

“I wanna go home.”

“I’ll take you home Y/N/N.”

Eventually Arthur took me home. “Y/N, I’m sorry about, you know.” He sets me down on my dock.

“You’re okay, it’s not your fault. You just wanted me to see what the ocean looked like.”

“Y/N, you almost got killed all because of me.” Arthur puts his hands on the dock and got closer to me.

“I know Arthur, I just I-“ We hear footsteps on the dock, it’s my dad.

“What the hell is this? And Y/N, where have you been?” I get up and walked up to my dad.

“Arthur, he showed me his dad’s lighthouse.” I lied. My dad knew that I was lying.

“Now, you know that you’re lying to me Y/N/N, where were you?” He gets closer to me, I get nervous.

“We went to my dad’s lighthouse Mr. Y/L/N. There were new things in the house so I wanted to show her and she likes the view from up there.” Arthur approach us.

“Why’s your hair wet Y/N?” My dad puts his hands on his hips.

“We did a little swim near his dock.” I can see my dad looking suspicious.

“Is she telling the truth Arthur?”

“Yes she is Mr. Y/L/N.” My dad looks at us and walks away.

I turn around to Arthur, “Thank you Art.” I hug him.

“No problem Y/N. Listen I gotta go and see you tomorrow?”

“Yeah.” I said.

THE NEXT DAY

I wake up in a different place. Where am I? I hear someone approaching where I’m at and, I don’t know who it is?

“Hi beautiful.” The voice said.

“Who are you?”

“Call me Black Manta.” The voice came closer to me.

I try to get away but I feel chains on my wrists.

“I want to get out of here!” I yell at Black Manta.

“You’re going stay here until you tell me about Aquaman.” Black Manta gets closer to me.

“I know nothing alright!” I talk yell at him.

“That’s not an answer!” Black Manta yells and hits me with something I can’t recognize.

“OW! What the hell is that!?” I touch where the wound is at.

“It’s a coin.”

“A coin?”

“Yep. You’re staying here until I get an answer from you, see you tomorrow.” Black Manta leaves me alone.

I want to go home! I want someone to save me, please…

Arthur’s POV

Y/N’s parents and I are making a deal, they want Y/N back and I’m going to do it, but I need some help from of sea creatures and some Atlanteans. I gathered the creatures and Atlanteans to Y/N’s family’s beach house and her family look terrified about everybody there.

I go up to her dad, “Y/D/N, I’m going to get Y/N back. Can you trust us?”

“If you know what you’re doing, I trust you.” Y/D/N says.

I’m going to get Y/N back.

2 DAYS LATER

“I think I know where she is.” Mera says.

“Where?” I question.

“Maybe with Black Manta, I mean, he wants revenge for you killing his father.” Mera looks at me and says.

“That son of a bitch.” I mumble.

“Let’s go find him.” Mera tells everyone.

Y/N’s POV

I so hungry, thirsty, and I feel dirty. I hear someone walking and it’s Black Manta with food and water. Finally!

“Here, thought you wanted something to eat and drink.” He hands me a full course meal.

I take the food and water from him and told him thank you.

“Now tell me who’s Aquaman.” He asks.

“What’s your obsession with Aquaman?” I say continue to eat my sandwich.

“He killed my father two years ago.” He says with a frown.

“Why’s that?” I question drinking my water.

He told me something that’s untrue because Arthur told me what happened the day, Black Manta’s dad and him including their men were invading a russian ship, Arthur saved the sailors. I secretly disagree with Black Manta but I showed him a totally different body language, agreeing with him.

“I’m sorry about your dad.” I said.

“He was a good man.” He looks at me.

Arthur told me he killed innocent people including his son. Once again I believe what Arthur tells me.

Later on, Black Manta leaves me alone but I want to go home, I’m scared that Black Manta might do something to me.

2 DAYS LATER

I try to sleep in a uncomfortable position until I hear yelling and fighting. Arthur’s here! I hear banging on the door.

“I’m down here!” I scream.

I hear running down the stairs, it’s Arthur. He gets near me to get the chains off.

“You okay Y/N/N?” He says while trying to get the chains off me.

“I- Authur look out!” I scream.

Black Manta tries to stab Arthur but Arthur fights him back. I try to get the chains off my arms but I can’t. I panic until a woman comes in, who is this?

“Who are you?” I ask.

“My name is Mera, I’m here to save you as well.” She says.

“Get me out of here.” I said.

“Where’s the key?”

“On Black Manta.” I point at Arthur and Black. Manta fighting.

“Arthur! Get the key from Black!” Mera yells at him.

Arthur fights him, I hear keys jiggling, Arthur throws the key to us and Mera gets the key and unlocks me. I try the get up but I can’t I don’t have any energy to get up. Very little food and water for me.

I see Arthur standing looking down at Black, he’s dead. Arthur looks at me and walks up to me and picks me up.

“I want to go home.” I said to Mera and Arthur.

“Let’s get you home Y/N.”

3 DAYS LATER

We finally get to my beach house and I see my family waiting for me. I can see their faces that they’re relieved to see me. Arthur picks me up to get on the land and I see my family’s faces. Arthur takes me to them, I start tearing up. I miss them so much. Arthur puts me down.

“Baby.” My mom says hugging me.

I hug her back. “Mama.”

“Who abducted you?” My dad says.

I look at Arthur.

“An enemy.” He says.

“I’ll tell you later okay?” I told my family.

“Arthur can I talk to you?” My dad says.

“Sure.”

I see my dad taking Arthur somewhere private but I kinda ignore them. I’m a little worried about what my dad is saying him. Eventually, my dad told me what he said to Arthur and he’s a keeper. I knew all along because he treats me like a person and he saved me from an enemy of his. Arthur Curry is the love of my life and my family sees it.

[leoruby-draws]

Some random DC character doodles, with Owen Mercer, Toni Monetti, Cody Driscoll, Dolphin in the top. And Vanessa in the bottom there.

I especially like the drawing of Dolphin (in the far right) that I did. Based on her outfit from concept comic of the Wonder Woman's Star Riders, a doll line that was never released. Tho DC would try their hand again with the DC Super Hero Girls dolls and succeed.

Maybe DC should try again with the Star Riders, I think it'd be fun!

Anyways, hope you like it!

pairing: caregiver!papa!bruce banner x regressor!little!reader

characters: uncle thor, bruce banner, reader, mentions of: steve, bucky, sam, and tony stark.

summary: you have to get MRIs done but you're nervous. thank goodness, papa knows how to cheer you up.

word count: 1,751

content warnings: MRIs, hospital gown, reader is written like they're a child's height, no mention of a particular chronic illness, please tell me if i'm missing anything

author's note: tadaa!! all done! this is the most i've written for a one shot! very proud of myself. also, this is inspired by me having to get MRIs done recently ajfhs

♡

Sometimes stuff we've done lots of times can still seem scary; which is annoying because who wants to feel anxious about the same exact thing over and over again?

You have to get these scans done by tomorrow. With every heart of your being, you wished that wasn't true but your previous scans were too old.

UGH!

Luckily, your papa had a trick up his sleeve.

He told you to stay here, in this gigantic, empty, white walled room. It was utterly boring, there were no paintings or statues or anything. Not even toys! Well, okay, you had your Mr. Rainy Day Bear but still! At least there were floor to ceiling windows- OH, and a skylight, too. Those are always nice.

While you waited for Bruce to come back, you watched what went on outside. There was Tony using his latest invention to attempt to lift Uncle Thor’s hammer. Tony still had no idea that it couldn't possibly work! How silly of him.

Bucky, Sam, and Steve stood in a far apart triangle. They were tossing around the Captain America shield like a Frisbee, guffawing, and yelling things that were joyously incomprehensible. It looked like lots of fun! Definitely more fun than MRIs. Maybe, they would let you join in later.

The double doors of the empty room swung open and papa’s humongous green form entered.

“Okayyy, love bug, I've grabbed all the cardboard pieces from recycling that weren't gross.” He grimaced thinking about the black, moldy gunk that spoiled some previously useful parts. He shrunk back down to Bruce Banner size after dumping the cardboard into a large pile. “We should have enough for our little art project.”

“Art project?” You looked at him expectantly. Your eyes were actually lit up with stars of joy this time, instead of meteor shower anxiety.

The idea was to make a cardboard MRI machine. Having an art project to focus on would comfort and reassure you about the process you would go through tomorrow. If he could make it fun, your anxiety wouldn't be so bad.

“I’ve seen the machine before, papa, I can make the bestest one yet!” You hopped on your toes, giddy with tight, flapping fists.

“I grabbed your sticker books and some paint, too-”

“OH YAY, THANK YOU PAPA, THIS IS SO EXCITING!!”

Mission accomplished. Anxiety gone, replaced with magical cure Art Project™. Bruce smirked to himself.

You laid down on a tall, square cardboard piece. Bruce traced your form with a sharpie as you giggled. Once you had the correct length, you both began cutting a rectangular piece and put that piece on a metal cart with wheels.

Then, you cut out half circle pieces and hot glued them all together until it made one large 4D sphere with a hole in the middle like a donut.

At one point, the glue burned you but Papa Bruce fixed it right up and stopped the booboo pain with a cure-all kiss.

Your cardboard MRI machine may look done to outsiders but it wasn't even close. It was missing the most important part of all: the stickers! There were heart stickers, stickers with dolphins, rainbow stickers, puppy stickers, stickers that had Mr. Hulk and Papa on them, too! There were even stickers of Stevey, Bucky, Iron Man, and Uncle Thor! Papa said for your birthday he'd make stickers with you on them, too.

You also painted squiggles, polka dots, lines, circles, triangles, kitty cats, and zig zags. All of them in your most favoritest color.

“There!” You stood proudly, hands on your hips. “Now, it's very, very pretty, papa.”

Papa gave you a minute and then asked, “Are you ready to practice?”

You blinked and sighed. Defeat warping your mood. “Yeah...”

Papa spun away, put a doctor's coat on, and then turned back, holding a clipboard. “Alright, are you the caregiver for Mr. Rainy Day Bear?”

“Yeah, papa.” You lightened up a little bit.

“Papa? No, I'm Doctor Doctor. Who's papa?”

“You're papaaa!” You pointed at him.

“Okay, okay I'm Doctor Papa.” He repeated, “Are you the caregiver of Mr. Rainy Day Bear?”

You tilted your chin up and did a faux British accent. “Why, yes, sir. He's feeling very, very bad and needs a scan.”

“Ah, yes, I see that on his chart, Caregiver.” He flipped through the scribbled pages on the clipboard. “Let's have. Mr. Bear lay down on the table with his head on the pillow.” Bruce gestured with his hand.

You laid your stuffie down on the pretend bed, placing Mr. Bear’s head gently on the pillow. You patted his hand for good measure.

Doctor Papa put ear plugs into the bear's ears and placed cushy pink headphones on him. The headphones had cat ears on them. Papa raised his voice a little, “Mr. Rainy Day Bear, what kind of music do you like to listen to?”

“Doctor Papa, Mr. Bear is nonverbal.” you said matter of factly. You raised your pointer finger to the sky. “I’ll answer for him. He likes The Wiggles, Papa- I mean Doctor Papa.”

“Alrighty then, The Wiggles album coming right up.” Bruce pulled out his phone, scrolling until he found the right music. “Wiggles rave?”

You nodded, then kissed the tippity top of Rainy Day’s head. “You'll be okay, Mr. Bear.”

Bruce began to push the cardboard bed into the donut sphere. You took a big, big deep breath in.

“BRRRR BEEEP AGHHHH RRRRR DNNNN-”

That breath was immediately released back into the atmosphere. “PAPAAA!” You clutched your chest, laughing so hard your legs felt weak.

Doctor Papa continued, “DRRRRR EEEEEE EHHHHHH MRRRRRR!”

You were rolling on the floor, tears leaving your eyes. How silly of your papa!

“BRRRRRrrrrrr….” Papa rolled the cardboard bed out of the donut. “How are you feeling Mr. Bear?”

“Papa, he can't hear you!”

Bruce laughed. “Oh, yeah, right.” He removed the headphones and then the earplugs. “How is the fantastic Mr. Bear?”

You lifted Mr. Bear’s paws and had him sign to Bruce, ‘I am okay.’

“Perfect! Let's take a look at your scans here…” Papa turned around and scribbled quickly on the paper. When he faced you again, he showed you the scan. It was a poorly constructed scribble of Mr. Rainy Day Bear with a big, biiiiiiiig, heart right in the middle. “I knew it, Lots-Of-Love-itis.”

You unburied the British accent. “Quite good, sir. Well done, Mr. Bear.” You placed a hulk sticker on his paw and hugged him tightly.

Papa kneeled down and asked, “Do you want to practice with you this time?”

You gave it a thought, looking this way and that. “Hmmm, will you make the funny noises again?”

“BEEEEP BRRR-”

“Not right now, Papa!” You shouted with a smile.

“Oh, during the practice?” He waited for you to finish rolling your eyes. “Yeah, I can do that.”

“Okay…” You breathed in, out, in, and out slowly. “Let's practice, Doctor Papa.”

♡

“Big day, lille venn.” Uncle Thor said as he helped tie the back of your hospital gown. He double knotted the strings behind your neck and then the ones by your hip. “There you are. All set.”

You frowned at that, looking at Thor with big, watery eyes. “Not all set.”

“It'll be okay.” His hands (placed on your shoulders) turned you to face him. “Remember your breathing?”

“Mhm.”

“Let's do it together.” He raised his left hand as you did the same. “Climb Yggdrasil, breathe in.”

You traced up your pointer finger.

“Let's sit at the very top, hold your breath.”

You paused at the tip of your finger.

“Slide down the Yggdrasil branches, breathe out.”

You traced down your pointer finger.

Uncle Thor had you repeat that four more times, until the tears dried and the anxiety flowed further away.

“Very good, great job. Let's go see Papa.” He held your hand as he walked you towards the scary room. Worse than the boring room from yesterday.

You turned the corner and there was Papa at the computer. “Hey there! The computer’s prepped and waiting for you, little one.”

You looked at Papa, then Uncle Thor, and then Papa again. “Okay… I'm ready.”

Papa led you to the metal bed. It was rectangular and thin. A sheet was laid out on it so you wouldn't get super cold. There was a thick pillow on the end that had your favorite kitty cat pillowcase on it, which made the corners of your lips turn upwards.

Papa pressed an arrow down bottom next to the donut sphere that brought the bed down to your level. He held your hand as you hopped on and then helped position you onto the center. He guided you through a big, deep breath so that your body was as comfortable on the table as can be instead of tense.

Next came pink headphones with cutesy kitty ears on them and plain boring ear plugs so that your hearing wasn't hurt from the loud noises. Papa already set up your favorite kind of music so when the headphones were placed on you, it was already playing. Bruce furrowed his brow in question, moving his thumb up and down. You replied with a thumbs up. You were ready.

Bruce handed you a panic button to hold just in case and laid a blanket over you to keep you warm. Papa kissed the top of your head and left the room.

You closed your eyes and took a deep breath in and out.

BBRRRRRRR

‘It's okay. I'm okay.’

BEEEEEEPPP

‘Woohoo, I'm doing awesome!’

REEEEHHHHHH

‘This is boring, it's got to have been a bajillion minutes by now.’

After ten years (minutes), the machine stopped and Papa walked back into the room. He gave you a high five and bunches of praises that you only heard some of because of all the ear protectors. But you could tell by his facial expressions that he was so very proud of you.

He pressed the arrow down button again and the bed began moving to an easier height. You removed the headphones and earplugs yourself, you felt like such a big kid (in the best way)!

You stretched this way and that while making funny noises which made you abrupt into hearty giggles.

Bruce held your hand as you jumped down. Next thing you knew, he was hugging you tightly, picking you up, and spinning you around and around!

“I'm so very, very proud of you, bumble bee!”

You kissed his cheek. “Thank you, Papa!”

Plushie (drabble)

Pairing: Loki x GN!reader

Summary: Loki sees how you always talk to them and take care of your stuffed animals as if they were real pets.

Warnings: none <3

•─────⋅☾ ☽⋅─────•

"Who put you there? come here sweetie"

You approached your stuffed tiger who was sitting on a chair and not on a shelf as usual.

"Oh there you are too!"

You took your blue unicorn stuffed animal from the floor and carried it to the shelf, placing it gently as if it were going to break.

"Much better, isn't it my little ones?"

You put your hands on your hips, smiling satisfied as you admired your work of art, a shelf full of stuffed animals of all kinds: giraffes, dolphins, dragons, etc. To tell the truth, your entire room was full of stuffed animals, a giant panda bear rested on your bed. It was always like this and that's how you liked it

Loki, hearing you talking to yourself, entered your room and froze on the threshold of your door, admiring the mess. Dozens of plushies decorated your room, from the bed to the shelves and the desk. Loki sighed.

"Darling, who were you talking to?"

"With them!, with who else but?"

You extended your hands to cover the entire room with a big smile.

"Right..."

Loki didn't understand why you spent so much time with your stuffed animals as if they were real animals. He considered it strange but tender at the same time.

"My dear, don't you think you spend a lot of time organizing your stuffed animals?"

Loki walked over to a ledge and grabbed a gray koala, looking at it questioningly and then looking at you.

You snatched it from his hands, hugging it to your chest.

"Be careful! Bimbo is sensitive"

"Beg you pardon? Bimbo?"

"Yes, that's what it's called.". You said softly

Loki let out a low laugh that widened his smile and stretched it like a Cheshire cat.

"Well I don't think Bimbo cares much"

"Are you jealous of a stuffed animal?"

"Of course not!". He frowned

"I think so". You said sticking out your tongue

Loki made a contemptuous noise and snarled out of the room. Now you were afraid that Loki would do some mischief with your plushies

•--------•

The next morning you had gone to the bathroom to brush your teeth and when you returned to your room you noticed that something was not right, your room felt emptier and you didn't know why. As if something was missing…

You approached your bed and counted the animals there: Kirby the panda, Tony the horse, Samy the turtle and the… Bimbo was not there!

"LOKI!!"

You couldn't believe how vile he had been, taking your favorite animal. Now he was going to pay them. You ran down the hallway looking for him, clutching your head in desperation. What had the bastard done to Bimbo? You turned a corner and saw him sitting on a couch reading quietly.

"Loki give me the koala now"

He looked at you with a gesture that was somewhere between offended and confused, and then he smiled a sickly boastful smile.

"I don't know what you are talking about"

"Loki, I'm serious, please". You said with a tantrum

"Maybe your little koala got bored and walked around there."

"Ughh! I hate you!!"

With a helpless snort you threw a pillow at him and ran away, locking yourself in your room. Loki had realized that he had screwed up so he sighed and put his book aside to go knock on your door. With a grunt you opened the door for him.

"Are you ok?"

"Not until you give me back what's mine"

"Ok I admit, I went a little overboard and I'm sorry. But would you let me show you something?"

Loki gave you a regretful look and extended his hand inviting you to take it. You looked at him suspiciously but you agreed only because you were curious to see what he was up to.

Loki guided you to his room and opened the door, a beautiful spectacle appeared before you. On Loki's bed there were thousands of stuffed animals, many more than in your room and in the middle of all those animals was Bimbo!

"When I was a child I had a stuffed snake, I called it Jörmungander, it made me feel less alone. So I understand your appreciation for your stuffed animals"

"What a particular name for a stuffed animal.."

Loki laughed and you smiled again. You approached the bed and noticed that the stuffed animals were mythological beings, chimeras, basilicas, pegasi, hydras, etc.

"They are all yours if you want, I think it was time to renew your collection"

"Really?!"

Loki nodded smiling and you quickly wrapped your arms around his neck and he hugged you, spinning you around.

"Thankyouthankyouthankyou!!!"

"Mmh I think there's one more to go…". He said enigmatically

Loki conjured something in his hands. When the green magic dissipated he saw a funny stuffed snake that had its neck raised and its tail curled. Loki placed it near Bimbo and hugged you. They both stood looking at their stuffed animals like proud parents. Jörmungander looked at them with his black pearl eyes, smiling and sticking out his viped tongue.

could you do mama!nat who just recently adopted teen!reader and notices she really likes the ocean and fish so she takes her to the aquarium and nat is just in awe of how sweet she is looking at the tanks and telling her all the facts she knows

a/n; helluu sorry for the delay on this && that it’s kinda short 🥲 i hope you like this nonetheless and tysm for the mama!nat request!! 🫶🏻

natasha never thought she’d be able to have a daughter of her own. not when the red room had taught her that love was a weakness, and had stripped her of the choice of ever having her own child.

but then she met you. you had popped onto tony’s radar as an enhanced individual. so, naturally, he took you in. similar to peter, you had no parents. unlike peter, you had no living family left to care for you and the foster system had failed you on multiple occasions.

when tony introduced you to the team, you had taken an instant liking to natasha. steve ended up putting you under mentorship much to the redhead’s initial hesitance.

however, despite her fear that she wouldn’t be able to train you well, she proved to be an excellent mentor. eventually, her relationship with you developed into a much closer one. it was only when you had accidentally slipped up and called her mama that she finally managed to put a name on what she was feeling.

it was a maternal love. when she realised it everything made much more sense. why was she was so protective over you, the mere idea of you getting hurt sending her into a slight frenzy. she wants to protect you from all the harm in the world, just like a mother would.

after your initial avoidance of the issue and of natasha, she finally corners you. a long talk later with a bit of tears and a lot of hugging, she approaches tony about going through the adoption process with you. she had already been your legal guardian at that point so the process was smooth.

of course, natasha was going to celebrate this milestone. as a highly trained assassin, she’s noticed that you’ve taken a keen interest in the ocean and all things marine biology related. she supposes it’s to be expected since you can literally manipulate water.

when natasha pulls into the carpark of the aquarium, you whip your head to look at her with wide eyes.

“do you like your surprise?” natasha has a knowing smile on her face and you nod your head rapidly. the two of you step out of the car and you hurry to the other side to engulf natasha in a tight hug.

soon, natasha is being dragged along to all the various exhibits. you’re rattling off fact after fact and natasha can’t help but to stare fondly at you. moving closer to the shark tank, you stare up in awe at the various sharks swimming around.

natasha is patient throughout your time at the aquarium. she let’s you take the lead and follows along behind you as you explore the place with wide eyed wonder. at times like this she’s reminded about how little of a childhood you had.

you had lost your parents as a young child, then being thrown around foster homes where the adults were either abusive or neglectful. you had been running away from yet another bad foster home when you had noticed a robbery going on. you stepping in and using your powers was caught on a cctv and that’s how tony found you.

natasha knows that people view her as a dangerous individual and she was fine with that really. but she never knew expected how nice it would be to have someone (you) look at her in such awe. the black widow has always been your favourite avenger, her rough past was what made you continue to work harder to be the best version of yourself.

because if natasha can continue to do such good for the world, even when the world has been so unkind.. you could too. so could everyone really.

as natasha watches you grab a pair of dolphin stuffed toys, handing one to her, she couldn’t bring herself to say no to you.

and no one dares to comment on it when the two of you bring the matching dolphins to the next family movie night, the two of you cuddling together on the couch as usual. the avengers are your family now and you couldn’t be more thankful.
