Clint was having a good day, he spent the morning with Natasha drinking coffee and he taught Steve the many wonders of Xbox -his fingers were still in splints but didn't let it stop him- they spent five hours playing 'Gears of War' they even got Thor to join in with them and when they switched to 'God Of War' Thor really got into it.
It was around 7:00 when they herd Tony come back from where ever he was, when Clint turned to say hi but he burst out laughing falling on the floor. Steve and Thor looked at Tony and they fell over laughing as well. After a few minuets Thor controlled himself -barley- he stood and walked over to Tony who's hair was a real rainbow afro that matched his eyebrows and facial hair, his skin was a dark tan but the best part was the tattoo on his forehead saying LOKIED in big green letters.
Thor puts his hand on Tony's shoulder "F-friend Tony, what -snicker- h-happened?' Thor was trying so hard not to laugh he really was. Tony glares at him. "Your brother did something to the coffee at the coffee shop I was in! every one there looks like this! I know it was your brother because what else could have done this! Thor please tell me you can fix this." Tony looks at him his eyes pleading.
Thor knows he should take this seriously from hearing that his brother was behind this, but it just reminded him of all the times Loki would do things like this as a child so he couldn't help but find this humorous. "I-I'm sorry friend T-Tony but the only one who can undo this I'm afraid is my brother. But -snicker- don't worry it might be gone by the morning." Tony yells every cuss word he knows on his way down to his lab.
Clint moves back onto the couch still laughing, they hear Natasha burst out laughing down the hall. Clint's phone buzzes in his pocket, he takes it out and it's a message from Natasha. He opens it and laughs harder, it's a picture of Tony trying to get the camera away from him. "I am so sending this to Bruce." Clint laughs thinking what Bruce's reaction to this, after a few minutes he gets a text. OH MY GOD! Get more! -Bruce This was definitely a good day for Clint.
Tony finally gets into his lab and throws the book on his work table. "J.A.R.V.I.S. Don't let anyone in here until I let you know otherwise." Tony walks into the small bathroom he had installed for the days he stayed in his lab. "Very well sir, are you trying a new look?" J.A.R.V.I.S. said in what Tony could have sworn is a very amused voice " J.A.R.V.I.S. don't make me donate you." He gets a washcloth out to try and get the tattoo off. Scrubbing his face many times he finds it wont come off.
He growls and takes out a razor to shave his mustache and chin, after he was all clean shaven it grew back within seconds. Throwing the razor in the sink he gives up, he goes and sits at his workbench. "J.A.R.V.I.S. pay some Black Sabbath will you." He rubs his forehead feeling a headache coming on. "right away sir, Miss Pepper called while you were out and said that she would be back from her vacation tomorrow, She also said she would stop by." At hearing that Tony prays to every God, Deity and hell he even prayed to Thor that this would be gone by tomorrow morning.
Tony looks at the book a few feet from him, he reaches out and grabs it. Holding it in front of him he takes his time to really look at it. The front cover was mad from sturdy material, the color was a faded black and green, the shapes on the cover he guessed were the title of the book. He runs his finger over them like he saw Loki do earlier, Tony opens the cover and sees in the bottom left hand corner some more of the shapes. There were four shapes which he could not understand what they were.
Tony sets the book back down. "J.A.R.V.I.S. scan the cover and see if you can find what these shapes are." Tony stands and goes over to a closet and gets a old Stark logo hat and a scarf to help hid his hair and face, once that was done he put on his sunglasses. He walks back over and sits down.
"J.A.R.V.I.S. anything yet?" Tony asks being a bit impatient. "I'm sorry sir there are no matches for these shapes, perhaps Thor could help." Tony ponders that and decides he might as well, plus he can annoy Loki with the fact he let Thor look at this book. " J.A.R.V.I.S. tell Thor to get down here."
"Right away sir, do you want me to order a pizza for you?"
Tony's stomach growls. "better make it two J.A.R.V.I.S." "Very well sir." Tony didn't have to wait long until he herd Thor's heavy steps coming down the stairs. Thor opens the door and walks over to him. "You wanted to see me friend Tony?" Thor smiles big at Tony's attempt at hiding his new look. Tony hands him the book. "Loki left this behind." Thor sees the book more closely then he tense up, he carefully takes the book and rubs his hand over the cover. "This is the book Loki stole isn't it?" at the nod from Tony he looks flips threw it will familiarity. "I didn't notice before but this book is Loki's, when he was studying his magic he wrote every spell he learned down in it."
"Then can you read it?"
Thor gets a sad look. "I cant read it, its in a code Loki made up." Tony sighs in disappointment. "how is it hear on earth Thor?" Thor looks down. "Loki threw it into the bi-frost claming it wasn't apart of him anymore after I did something I very much regret doing." Tony studies Thor's face seeing deep sorrow and pain in his eyes.
"What happened Thor?" Thor sighs and takes a seat. "It happened a few years before the incident on Asgard, Loki had done something terrible that had Father ordering me to punish Loki by holding him down and sew his lips shut with steal thread." Tony's eyes widen in shock. "Why?" was all Tony could say. "Loki…took one of his tricks too far. I knew it was wrong at the time but a order is a order, I can still see his eyes pleading me to stop and the trust he had in me breaking." Thor looks back at Tony.
Tony gets up and gets himself a glass of scotch, quickly moving the scarf and drinking the whole thing in one go. "How long were his lips sewn shut?" Thor flinches "To us Asgaurdians a year, to you humans about ten years. " Tony pours himself another downing that one as well. He couldn't imagine having that done to someone let alone Loki, he wondered how he could eat and drink like that but figured he used magic. He couldn't blame Thor for doing what he did, he could see all the regret in his eyes. Tony was really mad at Odin for what kind of father would do that to his son?
"Thor what did Loki do?" Tony downs another glass, Thor looks at the ground "Father wouldn't tell me, just that he did one of his tricks at a neighboring kingdom that turned bad and they wanted retribution." Tony drops his glass and slowly turns to Thor. "You mean to tell me you sewed your brothers mouth shut without even knowing why?" Thor sets the book down and rubs his eyes. "If not me then father would have found another to do it and make it as painful as possible." Tony bends down to clean up the glass.
"I'm sorry Thor I really don't like your dad." Thor just nods and looks back at the book. "Friend Tony how did you say you got this from my brother?" Tony freezes shit "while I was at the coffee shop I saw him across the street and he disappeared, when I got over to where he was the book was in its place." Thor ponders this then nods after a few seconds. "Sir the pizza has arrived, captain Rogers has them in the living room." Tony is thankful for the distraction, he puts his scarf in place. "Come on big guy lets go eat." he pats Thor's shoulder.
Thor smiles and follows Tony out of his lab. When they get in the living room they all smile at Tony. Tony glares at them knowing something's up. "What?" Clint and Steve jump him causing him to fall on his back, they take off his hat, scarf and glasses. While they have him pined down Natasha takes a bunch of pictures using her phone. "Thor help me!" He yells trying to get them off of him.
Thor bites one of his fingers. "I'm sorry friend Tony but Clint said if I didn't try to help you then he would tell me where I can hunt the undead Pirates." Tony glares at Clint then smiles " J.A.R.V.I.S. Clint is on fire." "very well sir." a panel on the ceiling opens up and a fire-hose come out, It turns on and blasts Clint in the face shooting him back a few feet. "Aaaarrrgaahn! What the fuck Tony!" Clint yells trying to move away from the spray. Tony pushes Steve off then he grabs a pizza box and runs down to his lab. "J.A.R.V.I.S. get into Natasha's phone and delete everything on there." Tony grabs a slice of pizza biting into it. "Right away sir. Sir did you want me to stop spraying Mr. Hawkeye?" Tony thinks for a long minuet. "In five minuets you can stop." "very well sir."
"I have too say I rather like this look on you." Freezing Tony turns around finding Loki standing by his work table touching a few of his suit prototypes. Tony roles his eyes. "Are you going to change me back while you're here?" Loki looks him over and snaps his fingers. Tony feels the top of his head, sighing in relief at the feel of his natural hair. "I'm going to get you for that I hope you know."
Tony sits down taking another bite of pizza. "well I hope its more interesting then what you did to Hawkeye." Tony chuckles at the memory. "Don't worry it will be a good one. I'm not going to ask how you know about that, so what do I owe this visit did you miss me that much?" Tony wiggles his eyebrows. Loki makes his way closer to Tony. "I came by to see how you were taking your new look." Loki smirks. Tony was about to reply but now that he was close to Loki he got a good look at his lips and faintly sees old scars around the edges.
Tony shifts in his seat "Loki…why did your dad have Thor sew your mouth shut?" Tony sees Loki freeze up and his eyes became so cold he could have sworn he saw his eyes shine red for a minuet. Loki's hands twitch then balled up into fists "Anthony if you know what's good for you, you would stop talking right now." Loki growls as he turns around taking in a deep breath, his shoulders relax some but Tony can still see some tension. "Thor told you didn't he?" Tony clears his throat. "Yes."
Loki straitens up turning around he backs up Tony into the wall, standing only two feet away. "Antony you have been lucky thus far but one more comment, question or statement about my "Family" I will not hesitate to kill you in the most painful way." Loki says in a dark voice. Tony knew he was telling the truth and didn't want to make him anymore angry then he already is. He didn't know what caused him to do it but it happened. He slowly lifts his hand, bringing it up to Loki's face and lightly touches the scars around his lips. "I'm sorry…"
Loki's whole body tenses up, his eyes widen in shock then they slowly close. Nobody would dare act this way towards him including a god, so saying Loki was shocked was a vast understatement but deep, deep down he somewhat liked the fact that he was being touched this way. His eyes open in realization that he was letting a human, Anthony Stark his enemy touch him.
Loki's eyes grow hateful, he smacks Tony's hand away before turning away from him still tensed he let out a low growl. "Never touch me again." Loki demanded as he turned to Tony some then shut his eyes tight and disappeared leaving a faint green smoke that evaporated within seconds.
Tony realizing what just happened found he was very lucky Loki didn't hurt him-or kill him- he sits down wondering why he would touch his enemy like they were lovers. He blushes after that thought and keeps telling himself he is not attracted to Loki! stop lying to yourself Tony. A voice in the back of his head said. "I need a drink." he runs his hands through his hair and deeply exhales.
I hope you liked this chapter! next is Loki's prov
