“Burn them off, light them on fire, either way we get to set something on fire. Win win in my book.” Tony admitted with a grin before sulking at Johnny. “I am not!” he protested, poking at his toned stomach. He wasn’t as traditionally fit as the others, but he worked hard. The armor wasn’t as easy to move in as people thought and making it was even harder. Sure he wasn’t lined with muscle like Johnny was but he could pack a hell of a punch if he needed to. Especially with Natasha training him in more than just boxing. “that’s a dirty lie.” Tony complained to her. “you just want me out here because YOU have to be out here.” his voice turned into a whine. “I can’t even enjoy looking at Peppers ass in her cute exercise pants. Why can’t she be sensible and skip work like me?” he sulked before blinking at her.<br/><br/>“I think Loki did that for Clint more than anything else…” Tony admitted, glancing at the archer. “Clint is… weird, around Loki… I think…” he hesitated and then. “I think there was… when they where being mind controlled by Loki, I think Clint got some… either glimpses into Loki’s mind or some memories.” he had. There had been a number of transferred memories. Loki had carefully removed all of Clint’s memories from his own… but he had not touched his memories in Clint’s mind. Loki had told Steph that himself, that he didn’t remember anything he’d learned from Clint, but that Clint still had the memories the mind link had given him of Loki. If Clint had shared the knowledge, Loki didn’t know and Loki, frankly, didn’t care. They where Clint’s weapons to use now.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>“She is.” Loki agreed. “She’s surprisingly shy, but when people use her every action as fuel to judge her, I suppose I can’t blame her. I was… surprised, when she admitted she was in a threesome.” he admitted. “I had expected it to remain a secrete, so the press could not use it to attack her personally. I never anticipated her telling all of you.” he admitted. “it is…” he smiled, soft and sappy. “it’s nice to be wanted. It’s nice to be loved.” he smiled at her. “yes, well. Try telling that to an asgardian.” he teased. “they feel they are superior to everything and everyone and have the right to rule everything and everyone.” he shook his head. “out of the entire realm I think only Thor thought otherwise.” he followed Laura around like a lost duckling. “oh yes. My oldest is close to nine hundred.” he smiled. “I was only a hundred when I had him. He was a precious thing. I’ve never seen someone so in tune with magic. Give him another hundred years and he’ll have well surpassed me in ability.” he admitted, sounding so very proud. “i’ve had two sets of twins, but…” he sagged.<br/><br/>“the set of twins born after my oldest didn’t make it. I was sickly and underfed… starving. They where too weak and died minutes after I gave birth.” the grief was there for all to hear but he perked up a little. “my middle child, he’s the fastest I’ve ever met. Though there are some mutants who could give him a run for his money now! He’s as fast as lightening.” he grinned. “and he’s a bit of a showoff.” he snickered a little. “my two youngest, they’re very funny. They’re only about a hundred years old. They’re still quite young and are always wrestling and fighting with each other. Twins you know. I swear they can read each others minds.” he looked at her. “if the pattern follows this should be a single child. But knowing Johnny I’ll end up with quadruplets or something. Humans breed like rabbits you know.” he teased.
