Loki escorted you to the elevator the second you were home, conveniently closing the elevator doors before Peter could follow you. You wrapped your arms around him, under his suit jacket. "Are you sure you're ok?" you asked him. He seemed off.

"Can I stab the spider?" Loki grumbled. You laughed.

"No, you can't stab him. I don't feel like healing him again," you replied.

"Let him suffer," Loki growled softly.

"Loki..."

"Fine. I will not stab the spider. Though he deserves it,"

"Will it make you feel better if I teach you about Facebook?" you asked him, trying to distract your grumpy boyfriend. If he stayed annoyed at Peter the kid was going to get stabbed. Possibly repeatedly. "The whole team has accounts. Watching your brother try to use technology is about the most hilarious thing ever,"

He finally relaxed, though it took a couple kisses to get him to thaw completely. "That would be an amenable way to spend the afternoon," he finally agreed, and finally gave you a smile again.

So you spent the afternoon in your suite with him setting up his Facebook account and showing him how it worked. Thor accepted his friend request instantly and was soon annoying him. "This was a terrible idea," Loki whined when Thor wouldn't stop.

"Here, tag him in this," you sent the picture of sleeping Thor with the post-it note on his head to Loki, who proceeded to post it and tag Thor. Thor proceeded to yell at you for helping Loki.

-Can't you three behave?- Came a comment from Clint. You replied with an embarrassing picture of him from your collection. It involved him being upside down hanging from the ceiling in nothing but his underpants with Nat laughing her ass off at him in the background.

"Do you have embarrassing pictures of everyone?" Loki asked. You nodded.

"I save them for special occasions," you replied with a grin.

"Remind me not to annoy you," he commented.

"I should hope that would be obvious. Even on Asgard it couldn't be a good idea to annoy your girlfriend,"

"Fair point,"

"Ready to really piss them off?" you asked with a mischievous grin. He nodded and you sent him the relationship request. He accepted it moments later and you changed your profile picture to the one of you kissing him while he was wearing his helmet. You set your phone aside to ignore the comments coming in. You'd go through them all later.

"Nice use of that Catullus poem, by the way. I think Magister Wilger was going to die of a heart attack when you started reciting that." He laughed.

"He should not have called me out like that if he did not want me reciting something he did not approve of,"

That evening you finally went through all of the comments. Most were some mix of disbelief and impression. You posted all of the pictures you had of yourself and Loki to stem some of the disbelief. The team wasn't entirely pleased that you had announced your relationship, but they didn't do anything about it either.

You had the the rest of the week off of school because of the shooter, even though no one had been hurt. That was fine with you. Once you got your powers back you checked out Peter and gave him a clean bill of health. Happy drove Peter back to his Aunt's house as soon as he was cleared. You didn't know what story Tony had given her, nor did you much care. Things were easier without him here. You went to Clint next and healed his bullet wound from the other night, plus all of the injuries the team had managed to acquire over the past three days.

"This isn't good," Cap announced as he read a letter than had some to the tower addressed to the team.

"What is it?" Nat asked. You looked up from the book of Asgardian magic you were working through with Loki on your favorite couch.

"A sorcerer called Doctor Strange wants to meet those two," Cap indicated you and Loki.

"Us?" you asked in disbelief. "Why does he want to meet us?"

"Apparently, he felt whatever magic you two did to save Spiderman. He wants to meet the 'two strongest sorcerers he's ever felt in his city'," Cap made the quotes with his fingers.

"That sounds ominous," you replied. That really didn't sound good.

"It's probably a good idea, though. We need to find out if he can be an ally," Cap insisted. You sighed.

"Fine. Did he say when he wants to meet?" you asked.

"Tomorrow. He gave an address." You got up to take the address from Cap. "Keep Loki from antagonizing this guy. He sounds powerful." Why did people keep thinking you could control Loki? It seriously didn't work that way. You didn't comment, though, and just pocketed the address.

"Lady Y/N, come, we have combat training today," Thor announced as he walked into the room.

"Combat training?" you asked confused. No one had warned you about combat training today.

"Yes, c'mon," Nat added. You sighed and used Loki's clothes changing spell to change into workout clothes.

"Alright," you agreed. You went over to Loki and gave him a kiss. "We'll continue this later?" you asked.

"The kisses? Definitely, witchling," he grinned.

"I meant the magic lessons, but kisses are good too," Nat grabbed your arm and dragged you toward the elevator. "Thor, why are you coming?" you asked when he joined you.

"You need to learn to fight against combatants that are bigger than yourself," he answered before the elevator doors closed. The three of you rode down to the floor with the training rooms. Nat handed you a pair of heels when you entered the training room.

"What are these for? I'm never going to fight in heels!" you never wore heels. Ever.

"No, you're not. But Tony's having that party/dance/ball thing in a couple months and you will have to dance in heels," Nat reminded you pleasantly.

"Will not," you protested. You didn't know how to dance.

"Will too," Nat replied, her voice still too pleasant. She was enjoying this. "It's required and besides that boyfriend of yours enjoys dancing,"

"He does," Thor agreed. You sighed and put the stupid heels on. Thankfully, you did know how to walk in the damn things, even if you refused to wear them. Nat gave you a few pointers to walk more gracefully in them. You practiced and her advice really did help.

You spent the rest of the afternoon with them teaching you how to waltz and the basics of a couple other of the ballroom style dances, just in case Tony's party turned in that direction. With Tony's parties they either ended up as nearly as formal as a cotillion, or a drunken party. There was rarely an in between. Thor was your dance partner for the afternoon while Nat made corrections. He also taught you and Natasha one of the formal court dances from Asgard. Apparently it might be played at the party too.

"Would you like to know how to really impress my brother?" Thor asked after you had the waltz and Asgardian dance fairly well down. You would be practicing during 'combat training' for the next couple of months until the party.

"Of course," you replied. Thor smiled excitedly.

"Then allow me to teach you this dance and the song that goes with it. I will make sure Tony plays it. It will mean the world to Loki." You nodded excitedly. Surprising Loki was difficult, but it would be worth it if you could pull it off. Thor sang the words in Asgardian, which from your understanding was an ancient form of Icelandic or Old Norse. The words were unfamiliar, but the melody...

"For the Dancing and the Dreaming?" you asked, finally placing the tune. Thor just stared at you.

"How-?"

"Jarvis, can you play For the Dancing and the Dreaming?" you asked instead of answering Thor. The music started playing in the training room. You smiled as you listened to it. You loved this song.

"How do you know this song?" Thor asked.

"It was in a movie about Vikings," you explained. "I'll show the movie to you and Loki after the party," Thor nodded, accepting both your words and the invitation.

"That will make this easier."

Poor Jarvis had to play the song quite a few more times while Thor taught you the dance that went with the song. You would need a lot of practice and a lot of memorization of the lyrics (thankfully Thor had reassured you that you could sing it in English and it would still have the same effect) before you'd feel comfortable with it, but you were excited to surprise Loki. It really would mean the world to him.
