“nah toasters are better.” Bucky stated calmly. “Toasters don’t make bread puns as they make you toast.” Tony laughed. He loved a good pun. “probably helps with the chills too.” Tony agreed. “Pep’s was hot as a furnace before we fixed the nasty Extremis, it was really nice as long as she doesn’t set the bed sheets on fire.” he admitted. “awesome, I have ideas for a new shield. I’ll text you and we can set up a day plan.” Tony offered.<br/><br/>“why do you assume your getting thrown out?” Bucky demanded, lifting an eyebrow at her. “what have you been doing?” he wondered. “and don’t say nothing because I know you better than that.” he ordered before looking amused at Johnny throwing the first pitch. “do NOT set the stadium on fire.” he ordered.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>“didn’t they already do that?” Loki wondered. “or… no that was Steph proving she could jump to the next building over.” he admitted. “Bucky was furious.” he admitted with a chuckle. “it’s a bit of both.” Loki admitted. “most magic needs to be focused in some form or another. Some use Glyphs, some use oral focuses and some use powerful magical constructs like wands, staffs, jewelry or talismans.” he admitted. “each of the nine realms has magic, even Midguard though humans haven’t figured out yet how to identify it, or harness it. Tony and Reed are close though, give them another fifty years and they might actually get there.” he admitted. “about three hundred and fifty thousand years ahead of schedule.”<br/><br/>he blinked slowly at Pepper, his head tilted a little. Thinking hard. “you know. I don’t know.” he admitted. “I can try if you would like. Later.” he offered. “Tony too if he wants.” Tony would probably want, if only to keep Loki from spending too much time with Pepper. He found her adoration of the godling to be bad enough as it was. Of course, Loki’s absolute respect regarding the women already confused the hell out of most of the team. He was always overly polite to them and tended to go out of his way to do anything they asked of him. Tony assumed he was sucking up because he knew the ladies basically controlled the rest of the Avengers. Pepper, Natasha and Steph always got their way. “hmm, remind me what that is?” Loki asked. “no ever mind, I’ve remembered.” he admitted. Unlike most guys, he didn't sound disgusted, just sympathetic. “well anytime you want to come here just tell them to put it on my card.” Loki offered. “I honestly don’t care what’s in the mud.” he admitted with a grin. “it’s clean, smells nice and is warm.” he grinned. “and there’s a massage after which is just as good.”
