“of course you won’t.” Tony grumbled before smiling. “but you like him for a reason and he seams… snappier than usual.” Tony admitted. “I haven’t seen him be so…” he paused and then. “mean. He was mean.” Tony decided. “he always seams a little grouchy, annoyed even but I haven’t seen him be actively mean since he started hanging out with you.”  Tony frowned, was he worried about Loki? Shit, he was… Goddammit that sucked.<br/><br/>“I know I don’t tell you this enough.” Tony admitted with a smile as he kissed Pepper. “but I love you.”<br/><br/><hr/><br/>“ann what?” Loki asked, puzzled before pondering and then. “perhaps? It’s mostly just…” he sighed and ran a hand through his hair. “I am afraid…” Loki finally admitted. “I cannot stop things from happening that may or may not happen. On top of that I’m not feeling well.” he admitted before snorting a little. “Johnny I’m going to be honest with you.” Loki said as he set his menu aside. “your brother is not anywhere near the level he needs to be to handle the forces he is playing with. What he has now may contain tiny fractional pieces of power but if he starts pulling in more than a few particles he is going to blow up half the planet. The only reason he is not already attempting to do so is because he hasn’t yet found a way to channel Energy. Stark’s…. thingy…” Loki patted his chest. “honestly shouldn’t even exist right now given earths current technological abilities but could be the channeling force needed to contain the particals. They are both equally close, and equally far apart. Reed however is a little too callous with other peoples lives than I’d like and Tony…” here Loki’s face went tight. “Tony Stark is too traumatized and scarred from trusting the wrong person that he may never be able to work with someone else on such a level again. Three times now, someone he has moderately trusted has tried to steal his tech and then use it against him. Tried to kill him. No he’ll never share that information… now this guy named Pym is actually very close…” here Loki wrinkled his nose. “of course he uses it to make things shrink so really, I have no hope for him at all.” he shook his head. “it will likely be a task for the next generation to forge the necessary connections. This generation is too scarred.” he sighed. “not that I’m much better. I’m all kinds of fucked up.” he smiled at him. “honestly out of everyone I know I think your the only one whose sane.”
