The Avengers Babysit Loki?!

Lullaby

It's been two days since the whole weapons incident. Tony kind of freaked out when he saw the TV, but he fixed it. It was late and everyone decide to watch a movie. It was a sequel to other movie, not a good idea. Steve was asking questions the whole time. When the movie is over, Steve is still bugging Bruce with questions about the movie. Thor turns to his side, Loki had fallen asleep during the movie. Thor smiles, picks him up, and starts to walk to his room.

"Thor, could you give me a hand with this?" Tony asks from the other room.

"I will be right there. Natasha, will you put him to bed?" Thor asks as he hands Loki to Natasha.

"Oh no I'm not good with kids. I'll break him." Natasha says, taking Loki because what else could she do? Thor just shoved him in her arms. Thor walks into the other room.

Natasha looks down at Loki, he has his head laid on her shoulder. She tries to hold it in, but she can't help but smile. She starts to walk to Thor's room.

Natasha lays Loki down on the couch and covers him with a blanket. She gets up and starts to leave, when Loki makes a small noise, a noise like he's in pain. Natasha turns around. Loki eyes squeeze tighter shut and he starts to breath heavy. It looks like he is having a nightmare. Natasha walks back over to him. She only knows one thing to do. She sings, in in her mother tounge, Russian.

"Баю-бай,
Не плачь
Спи-усни, малыш
Будет день
Будет и пища
И придут лошадки
Саврасая и гнедая, рыжая и серая
И шесть белых лошадок
Саврасая и гнедая, рыжая и серая
И придут лошадки

Мамы не стало и папы не стало
О, мы так скучаем по своей малютке
Будет день
Будет и пища
И придут лошадки
Саврасая и гнедая, рыжая и серая
И шесть белых лошадок
Саврасая и гнедая, рыжая и серая
И придут лошадки

Вон там, в низине
Лежит несчастный ягненок
Пчелы и мухи выедают ему глаза
Несчастный ягненок
Оплакивает свою мать
Оплакивает свою мать

Так баю-бай
Не плачь
Спи-усни, малыш
Будет день
Должна быть и пища
И придут лошадки
Саврасая и гнедая, рыжая и серая
И шесть белых лошадок
Саврасая и гнедая, рыжая и серая
И придут лошадки
Милые лошадки...
Милые лошадки...
Милые лошадки..." Natasha stops.

Loki has calmed down and appears to no longer be having the nightmare. A smile is on his face now. Natasha smiles down at him, brushing his hair out of his face before standing up.

"Not good with kids huh?"

Natasha spins around to see Clint leaning against the door frame.

"You know I have never really been around kids." Natasha says.

"Just because you aren't around them doesn't mean you are bad with them. Stop underestimating yourself." Clint says.

"You know exactly why I underestimate myself. Don't try to change it. I know my past and so do you. I know I will never have a future with children."

"It's called adoption. You need to stop thinking about the past. Focus on the future. You would be a great mother, if you would only try."

"Clint, I could never-"

"You could."

Natasha stares at Clint, his eyes sincere. She doesn't smile, but she nods, knowing she will not win this argument. Clint smiles. Natasha starts to walk out of the room, glancing back at Loki. Clint puts his hand behind his back. Natasha narrows her eyes. She steps out into the hallway to see Tony, Bruce, Steve, and Thor standing there.

"You heard?" Natasha asks. They says nothing. "You're all dead."

Natasha starts to walks towards then, when Loki makes a small noise. Natasha looks into the room, then back at the rest of them.

"None of you will ever speak of this again." And with that, she leaves and goes to her room.

They all stand there shocked that she didn't kill them.

Author's Note: The lullaby is called 'All the Pretty Little Horses' I think there are a lot of versions of it, this was the only one that I could find that translated into Russian. Soooo yeah.

Here are the lyrics in English-

Hush-a-bye
Don't you cry
Go to sleepy little baby
When you awake
We will have cake
And all the pretty little horsies
Dun and bay, sorrel and grey
And all the six white horsies
Dun and bay, sorrel and grey
And all the pretty little horsies

Mama gone and daddy gone
Oh, we miss our little baby
When you awake
We will have cake
And all the pretty little horsies
Dun and bay, sorrel and grey
And all the six white horsies
Dun and bay, sorrel and grey
And all the pretty little horsies

Way down yonder, down in the meadow
Lies a poor little lamb
Bees and flies are plucking out it's eyes
Poor little lamb
Crying for it's mother
Crying for it's mother

So hush-a-bye
Don't you cry
Go to sleepy little baby
When you awake
We should have cake
And all these pretty little horsies
Dune and bay, sorrel and grey
And all the six white horsie
Dune and bay, sorrel and grey
And all these pretty little horsies
the pretty little horsies
all the pretty little horsies
all the pretty little horsies

Like I said there are a lot of versions of it, this is the only one I could find that translated into Russian. So there are probably different words in some versions. I know that one of the one I listened to was a little different so I just hope y'all like it anyway.

Here is another version I found, but like I said the one that is above is the only one I found in Russian. I just thought you would like to see another version of this song.

Hush-a-bye, don't you cry,
Go to sleepy little baby.
When you wake, you shall have,
All the pretty little horses.

Blacks and bays, dapples and greys,
Go to sleepy you little baby,

Hush-a-bye, don't you cry,
Go to sleepy little baby.
Hush-a-bye, don't you cry,
Go to sleepy little baby,
When you wake, you shall have,
All the pretty little horses.

Way down yonder, down in the meadow,
There's a poor wee little lamby.
The bees and the butterflies pickin' at its eyes,
The poor wee thing cried for her mammy.

Hush-a-bye, don't you cry,
Go to sleepy little baby.
When you wake, you shall have,
All the pretty little horses.

See they are both a little different.
