Author's notes: Quick update here, based loosely on a true story where my sister (who is Loki) and I (me being Tony) were in our living room and our sister came in wearing headphones and... well, I'll just let you read. XD

Loki joined the Avengers after his freedom almost as fast as Clint had. Where Clint had Natasha to back him up, Loki had Thor, although the trickster god seemed bit more loathe to accept Thor's word than Clint had been of Natasha.

But, everything worked out in the end, and it wasn't long before Loki was fighting aliens and monsters alongside the Avengers, and just as it had been from the beginning, he was fast friends with Tony.

The other Avengers weren't quite as reckless, however, and Clint, Natasha and Steve all were cordial, but wary around the trickster. Bruce also was wary, but he was understanding, and he was pleasant.

As for Thor, the thunder god was overjoyed at having his brother a part of the team, and could be seen smiling and grinning as he wandered the mansion.

One day, a very lazy day, when there were no villains to fight, Tony and Loki were just sitting around in the common room. They had found kindred spirits with each other, and although they sometimes butted heads, for the most part they preferred each others company to being alone.

And so they sat in companionable silence, when suddenly, the door burst open and Thor bounded in.

"DO YOU NOT HEAR THIS!?" Thor demanded loudly, clutching, in his hand, an MP3 player attached to a pair of headphones. "THIS MUSIC IS MOST ENJOYABLE," he yelled. "NEVER IN MY LIFE HAVE I HEARD SUCH SOUND!"

Tony and Loki said nothing, just sat and watched in mild interest as Thor continued to rant.

"THE LYRICS ARE ALSO QUITE ENCHANTING, ALTHOUGH I ADMIT, THEY ARE QUITE CONFUSING! TELL ME, FRIEND STARK, WHAT IS ASAP?"

"J?" Tony said instead of answering.

"The acronym 'ASAP' stands for the words 'as soon as possible." Jarvis said.

"AH," Thor said. "THANK YOU MAGIC CEILING!"

With that, Thor left the room, booming out song lyrics as he left.

After a few moments, Tony turned to Loki.

"Are you ever annoyed by Thor?" He asked conversationally.

Loki raised his eyebrows and looked at Tony for a moment.

"No," he said with a hint of sarcasm. "Why ever would I be so?"

"Yeah, good point," Tony said, turning back.

They sat in silence for a few more moments, before Loki suddenly chuckled. This caused Tony to chuckle, and before long the two were laughing over the joke.
