“Thank you Steph.” lol I said, offering her a shaker, but honest smile. “I am indeed an American citizen now. Odin can no longer recall me by his own laws.” Loki admitted. “Nor can he continue to punish me for crimes against mudguard. Humanity itself has found my punishment to be enough.” Granted, only Fury and Courson actually knew what Odin had done to Loki. Not even Thor knew. Loki intended to keep it that way. Loki gave Thor a patient smile, he really tried so hard. “I have American citizenship because it was the only way to keep myself safe. And they have my last name because they are my sons. I bore them into life and they where taken away from me. You have four nephews that you where never permitted to know. You might have had two nieces as well but they died in the birth.” Loki admitted. “I became a human citizen so that they could be freed of prisons they did not deserve. Jormungandr and sleipnir especially. Sleipnir was never Odom’s. He simply beat my son into bloody obedience.” Much like he had done to Loki.<br/><br/>“Oh good. I was sure I was but I forget about things like that.” He admitted. “I’m not worried. Not about Loki... who said I was worried!?” He was definitely worried about Loki. It was cute how Tony had grown to care about the gosling, even if he pretended otherwise. “Thank you. I care about you too.” He didn’t say love, that would be cheating. She needed space and time and he wasn’t going to emotionally guilt her. She didn’t deserve that. He took a deep breath when she hung up and stared at the ceiling. “She’s not breaking up with me.” He decided. “She just needs time...” but when she came back it was more of the same. Being kidnapped, magical bad guys, attacks, nightmares and trauma... “Jarvis open project Sapphire.” He ordered. It was his newest project to keep Pepper safe. It would make him feel better to work on it.
