Loki startled when he knocked on the door and she cleared her throat nervously. “Yes! Ah, come in!” She stumbles with her words a little. “I apologize that it took so long for this, on Asgard it’s... just saying sorry isn’t...” she took a deep breath. “Clint Barton, I caused you great pain and suffering.” She admitted. “I do not know the earth customs for this so I decided the asgardian way... well you see, we believe that a simple ‘I’m sorry’ is fine for things like accidents or hurt feelings, but what I did to you demands a level of atonement...” she flushed a little. “I had thought of allowing you physical retribution upon myself but Agent Cookson said that would only do you further harm.” She admitted as she offered him the silk package. “It’s rather rare, it took me a while to find it but I wish for you to have this, as part of my atonement. I don’t ask forgiveness, I don’t deserve it and it’s not for me to ask for it anyway. I merely wish to... I don’t have the words, repay the damaged, for lack of better phrasing...” she nervously shifted. “It is the bone of a Seidhr. Morbid, I’m sorry but it’s special. You see, as long as you carry it on your person, no magic can touch you. It’s best with skin contact but just carrying it in a pocket will also protect you. It won’t stop things like healing magic but anything that might cause you harm, even earth magical. I tested...” she fell silent, looking backward and nervous. “I know nothing I do or give you could ever make up for what I did, but I thought this might... help.”<br/><br/>“Yeah...” Tony nodded. He wouldn’t press her, she wouldn’t like it and he hated upsetting her. She just wasn’t ready yet, but Tony knew she would be. “I’ll be in the lab for a while if you need to come back down.” Tony promised. She was always welcome but she needed the reminder sometimes. “Jay?” Tony ordered, bringing up his secrete project. “How is the baby coming along?” An infant AI. One just for Steph to protect the babies once they where born. A Nanny of sorts, like Jarvis but specialized for Steph, Johnny and Loki. He’d started working the second they’d gotten back to the tower. “Also, how is the math coming along for the energy shield?” For Pepper. Holographic force fields. So she didn’t have to worry about getting caught in gun fights or explosions anymore. He was also working on new Arrows, a new arm for Bucky, a new set of Widows Bites, a new Tazer... he needed to make sure they knew he cared about them, so he made them things.
