A/N: I have so many of Avenger Fic's I'll think I'll just upload them and hope I don't get overwhelmed.

Tony was mingling at a party with other rich people on TV for some random charity event he was donating a ridiculous amount of money to because Pepper had made him, he put on his fake smile and charmed his way through encounter after encounter with people he didn't actually like, Pepper owed him so much for this.

He was talking to Mr Osborne of Oscorp about their companies; Normand had done almost as well as Stark Industries just in a different field, thankfully that might have caused some competition. Anyway they were talking when Tony got the sense that something bad was going to happen his hand instinctively to his right arm where the arm of the suit was hidden up his sleeve, no one notice the movement. Tony glanced around and he saw the camera focus on him, he had started to frown and of course the tabloids wanted to know why. He stepped away from Osborne mid-sentence which probably offended him and started looking around when his eyes fell on a tall man in green and gold with short cropped black hair and piercing green eyes, he didn't look like Loki but he had a certain aura of power and grace that told Tony that looks can be deceiving, he was the god of lies after all. He extended the arm of his suit so he could shoot it and raised his arm, this action caused a slight panic from those immediately surrounding him, even the camera man backed up a bit worried that Stark was about to go on an Iron Man related killing spree.

Tony narrowed his eyes at the supposed Loki and took a deep breath, if he was wrong Fury would kill him, if he was right Loki might kill him and many others, there was no winning. He held his breath and aimed shooting the green eyed man in the stomach. A few people screamed but then it went silent when the man didn't fall, instead he seemed to grow and his imagine flickered until Loki the god of lies who was supposed to be in his cell on Asgard stood to his full height smirking down at Tony. "Aaah Mr Stark how did you know it was me?"

"The green and gold, kind of give you away Reindeer Games." He studied Loki "Where's you glow stick of destiny?"

"It was a gift and since I failed in taking over the earth it was reclaimed but no worries I can still kill the Avengers and conquer the Earth without it."

Tony snorted "An army, Loki. You had an army and we beat you, what's so different now?"

"I've studied you now." He snapped his fingers "Ms Romanoff aka Black Widow is now back in Russia where she belongs, it will take her a while to fight her way out of the army of mercenaries and assassins and then she has to get back here." He clicked again "The Super Soldier is now stuck inside SHIELD headquarters along with all the other agents and Director Fury. All Shield and Army aircrafts have been grounded and locked, Agent Baton and Dr Banner are trapped at Stark Tower and you Man of Iron are not even in your full suit." He smirked again "So tell me how are you to beat me?"

"Where's your brother?"

Loki snapped losing his graceful pretence "He's NOT my brother!" he calmed down again but the smirk was lost "and he's on Asgard disconnected from here, unable to see you or hear you."

Tony for a second looked lost and then he grinned and yelled as loudly as he could "HEIMDELL IF YOU CAN HEAR ME GET THOR!"

Loki smirked again "Heimdell is temporarily and conveniently out of use so you're on your own Man of Iron."

Ton'y arm which was still trained on Loki wavered as he realised the hopelessness of the situation, he glanced at the crowd behind him and at the camera before putting on a brave face "Listen Loki, SHIELD itself will have to fall before you rule the world. As I've said before we may not be able to save the world but you can be damn sure we'll avenge it."

"and how will you do that when you're dead." He pulled out a knife and flung it at Tony's head he ducked out of the way but felt it take of a chunk of his perfectly shaped hair.

"By Odin's beard that was close! And I spend too much time with Thor!"

"I'll tell you mortal I never miss twice. Of course you can always stand down, join me in conquering Earth and you can keep Stark tower you can even keep your girlfriend, the one named after a herb."

"Pepper?"

"Did you date any other girls named after herbs? Am I going to meet a Nutmeg somewhere who went out with you?"

Tony shrugged "It's possible." Then he went back to serious "But why would I trust you, you're the god of lies, trickery and deceit, the original silver tongue."

"I swear on The Power of the All father that if you join me I will not harm your tower or Miss Virginia Pepper Potts." Tony looked at the camera and the audience then at Loki then at the pathetic hand blaster he was sporting then back at the crowd and he winked at the camera hopefully conveying his message that he was double crossing Loki. "Oh and don't lie Stark I can sense it."

Tony gulped and took a deep breath sending subtle warning glances that he hoped Fury was catching before looking back at Loki "Ok. I'll join you."

As soon as those words left his mouth the crowd fell into a frenzied panic running and screaming trying to get out before Iron man turned on them Loki smiled "Shoot them."

"This is just an arm repulser built to not kill humans, not good press, this was for basic self defence it was actually kind of stupid to try and face you with it sooo shooting them won't do anything right now."

"You're not stalling your first kill are you, trying to preserve whatever goodness you have?"

Tony glanced quickly at the camera man who was still there filming and then looked Loki in the eye "This wouldn't be my first kill."

Loki looked slightly shocked "Second?"

Tony remained silent

"Tenth?"

Tony shuffled awkwardly

"mmm. It seems I underestimated you Mr Stark. You're more like me than you care to admit. Why don't we discuss this away from prying eyes."

He pointed his hand at the Camera man who paled just before he shot Tony jumped in front of him and shrieked "DON'T!" and then straightened up nonchalantly "I'm Tony Stark I like to have an audience. I think we should keep him around I believe this is broadcasting all over the world now that you're back. Fear is all about how you market it, I should know I used to be a weapons manufacturer!"

Loki narrowed his eyes but didn't say anything he simply beckoned the camera man forward and walked away, Tony following behind trying to keep up with his long strides. He glanced back and the camera man thanked him silently, Tony nodded a your welcome before once again becoming stoic but trying to fit the part of a villain hadn't been in training.

A/N: Okay hopefully Clint and Bruce find a way out of Stark Tower and Steve and Fury get out of the Triscelion(?) and Natasha gets out of Europe it will probably be from their POV's

If I delete stuff in Doc manager does it delete it from the story too because it's getting overwhelmingly crowded in there.
