Life is a Highway
After a mission, Tony informs Thor that his constantly using Mjolnir to fly everywhere is freaking out some citizens of Manhattan. What is a demigod to do? Tony suggests that Thor learn to drive, but then Loki declares that he wants to learn, too. "I mean, when two Norse gods are involved, what could possibly go wrong? Right?"
Hey hey! :D So I had this idea last night, or a few days ago; I can't remember. (I'm sick, so my brain is addled. I forgot what I was doing while ordering at McDonald's probably about five or six times last night, and I probably looked like the biggest idiot on the planet, too!) I've got some free time in Accounting class because the class is about 40 minutes long and today is the last day before the Christmas break, lol. Sooo, I decided to write the first chapter, hehe! xD; I also had to get it off of the school computer somehow so that I had it for the Christmas break, haha. _;
Oh, one last thing: Loki was sent to live in Stark Tower with the Avengers for redemption. It's been maybe around 6 months to a year now, I haven't quite decided yet, and it's actually going quite well! :D This is not set in my Lokimotive Engineer universe, in case you haven't quite figured that out yet. :D
Disclaimer: On par with popular belief, I do not, actually, own the Avengers, Marvel, or any of their various subsidiaries.
A mission had just ended and Thor was gearing up to go to the store. He was swinging Mjolnir around, spinning it in preparation for takeoff, when suddenly Tony ran out onto the landing pad, flailing his arms around in large circles reminiscent of windmill turbines, yelling, "Stop!"
Thor stopped swinging Mjolnir and simply looked at him. "What?"
"I said, stop!" Tony repeated himself. "You can't fly to the store."
"But why not?" Thor inquired, thoroughly confused.
"Well, uh, we've had some complaints from concerned citizens, especially elderly ones, that your flying startles and frightens them a little," Tony explained, sounding rather strangely apologetic. "So, I'm afraid that flying is out of the question, at least for the next little while, and until we get some more recognition from the public and the press. I'm sorry."
"But then how am I to get around?" Thor asked.
"Well..." Tony fidgeted with his fingers a little. "This is probably an absolutely terrible idea, but I could probably... teach you how to drive?"
There was the sound of a door opening, and then a voice cackled, "That is a terrible idea, Stark." And Loki strolled casually into view.
"Oh, great; what is it now?" Tony groaned. "Accidentally set fire to one of my labs again?"
"Well, yes, but that's beside the point," Loki said, waving a hand dismissively. "If you are going to teach Thor to drive, then I request that you teach me, too."
"I... um... okay." Tony paused for a moment, looking slightly unsure, and then his face broke into a maniacal grin. "I mean, when two Norse gods are involved, then what can possibly go wrong?" He looked at their faces, Thor's confused and Loki's actually eager.
"Right?"
