And here's the next one... Ta daa!

Over the course of the day, Loki set up his little... Surprises. It was great. The only thing Loki loved to do more than Tony or a prank was to watch it all fold out. To watch the chaos unwind around him.
A matter of minutes and he'd have his wish.

As if on cue, in popped the 'dynamic duo'. And Thor.
"Brother, we had much fun! You would have enjoyed the snacks. Speaking of which, I am hungry."

"Try the fridge Thor, I made you some cheesecake in there."

As Thor went over, Tony came to Loki's side. "Two questions. One, what have you done to that cheesecake, and two have you made sure Jarvis is filming this?"

"A man after my own heart. But no. I have done nothing to the cheesecake."
Tony looked almost disappointed.

As Thor opened the fridge, the voice of a sphinx echoed through the room.

"Riddle me this and you may enter. First you must guess what I am. If you feed me I will live, if you give me water I will die."

Thor's face went blank and he looked almost hurt. His face read: 'So I'm not getting cheesecake then?' Then he stalked off.

Then it was Tony's turn to speak. "So riddles? That's your new thing?"

"Yes. I was bored."

Tony sighed and went to the fridge. "You are fire." He stated before being allowed access to the fridge and cheesecake. Loki stood up and grabbed two forks from the draw and joined Tony at the breakfast bar.

"I knew you'd get it."

"What do you expect? I'm married to the GOD of fire." Tony leant forward to plant a small kiss to Loki's mouth before stabbing his fork into the cheesecake. "This is great."

"Bought it."

"Hmmm. Strangely disappointed."

"I aim to displease."

-PAGEBREAK-

Natasha was struck with a strange sense of De ja vu. This felt very much like her requiting of Dr Banner. Except this wasn't India, she wasn't recruiting, and she had absolutely no idea who, what, or where this threat was.

Just then a flash of dark blue ran across her peripheral vision before vanishing in a twist.
Loki? No. This wasn't just another prank.

Again, another streak of blue. Natasha raised her gun in the air, pointing at where the being had just vanished from.

"Come out. The building is surrounded. There is no escape."

A snort came from a blue creature, crouched on a supporting beam in the opposite corner of the building. His back was to her.
"No escape?"

There was another flash and he was gone.
"What is it you want. Name your terms."

Another snort placed the creature directly above her. She aimed her gun in the air. "Put down your veapon, zis is a holy place."

Natasha lowered her gun but kept it in hand. "Why did you try to kill Director Fury?"

With another twist he vanished once again. Magician, God, Mutant?
Either way, he didn't reply. Was that a tail?
A religious man? Maybe this required a gentler touch.

"I am not here to harm you, I just want some answers." She sighed, putting down the gun slowly, raising her hands in the air and kicking it away with her foot.

"You said I vos surrounded."

"I lied, I wanted you intimidated."

"And Vhy vould I believe zey vould only send vone agent?"

"Because I'm the best."

There was a few moments of complete silence before the blue creature appeared a few metres in front on Natasha. Too close to her gun for her liking.
"Please, I didn't mean to hurt any vun."

"That was one of the highest security breaches possible. That place was more secure than the White House and you got in. You killed fifty agents and made an attempt on Director Fury's life. No one does that without help. Who are you working for?"

"Please, I didn't mean to hurt anyvun. Sumvun tricked me. I vemember everything, but I couldn't control it. Ze incredible anger..."

"So you're saying someone controlled your mind?"

"I know it sounds crazy..."

"Believe me, not as crazy as you'd think." Natasha put her finger to her ear, pressing into the com. "Stand down. He's coming with us."

"I thought you said it was just us. Zat ve veren't veally surrounded."

"I lied." She retrieved her gun before leading him to the small jet outside. "By the way, what is your name?"

"Kurt Vagner. K-U-R-T W-A-G-N-E-R. But in the circus, they called me Night crawler-"

"Okay, Wagner's fine."
-PAGEBREAK-

"So, I was thinking we should go out tonight. No not tonight, now. What's the point of owning a race car if you're not going to drive it?"

"I see your point. But then, what's the point of having your own god of mischief if you're not going to drive it?"

"Wait, you're an 'it' now?"

"Poetic licence."

"Okay, yes, you are right. But what to do with the other 23 hours twenty eight minutes and eleven seconds of the day?"

"Really, I think we can do a little better than thirty one minutes and forty nine seconds don't you? We can go more than once."

"That is our record."

"Well then what are you waiting for?"
Tony wrapped his arms around Loki's neck from where he sat on the worktop, pulling Loki in to stand between his legs.
"Hmmm, now your room is more comfortable, but we get turned on better down here..."

"Mmmm, just stay here babe." Tony wrapped his legs around Loki's waist, the latching his lips onto Loki's.

"You're incourageable."

"Would you have me any other way?"

"I don't think there's a way I wouldn't have you."

"Unh, how do you do this to me?"

"Oh, would you prefer to have me instead?" Loki raised an eyebrow and looked down at the man on his arms.

"Oh fuck yes." And then Loki was on his back, Tony clawing at his clothing. "Jay, I hope you're timing this"

"Of course, sir."

"And quit the sarcasm."

-PAGEBREAK-

Tony lay there, running his hands up and down the perfect, pale, naked body beside him. "I can't believe you're mine." He waited a moment. "Now this is the part where you say you can't believe I'm all yours."

"Tony, I am a god." He pulled a blanket up over Tony. "And stop pouting."
He stood up, clothes already forming magically around his body.

"Oooh, fucking me and leaving me? I'm insulted." He put a hand over his heart and stuck his bottom lip out even further.

"I wish you weren't always so crude." He said, stretching an arm out to help Tony up. "And besides, I thought you wanted to go racing."

"To be honest, I'm surprised you can still walk after that."

"You always seem to forget, I am a god."

"Still, thirty four minutes is quite a feat."

Loki pulled him in by the waist for a quick kiss. "Put sown clothes on love. Steve has a guest and we don't want to give her a fright."

"Fright?"

And with a smirk, Loki was gone.

-PAGEBREAK-

When Tony looked round to get changed, all his clothes were gone. How did Loki manage to do that? He would have noticed.
Tony wrapped the blanket around his waist and went to the door.
"Jarv, it's locked, open it up for me."

No answer

"Jarv, if he's done some magic voodoo cap to this door, use the magic/tec defilibrator to get rid of it."

And that's when things got scary. Loki's voice came through Jarvis's speakers: "Ehehehehe."

"Fuck Loki, I have no clothes, the walls are glass and just let me out okay." There used to be a time where Tony wouldn't have noticed he was locked in his lab naked, he'd have just carried on. But ever since their marriage, Tony has been encouraged to be outside and do his crazy stuff outside instead.

"Riddle me this,"

"Oh fuck no Loki, not this again!"

"Riddle me this; I never was, am always to be,
No one ever saw me, nor ever will,
And yet I am the confidence of all
To live and breathe on this terrestrial ball.
What am I?"

"Urgh, no not these 'what am I' things. Loki!"

"Solve the riddle and you will be released."

"Loki, come on. You're not gonna leave me down here naked are you?"

"Would you like me to repeat the question?"

"What if Steve brings his friend down here?"

"Now why would he do that? Why would anyone come to your rescue?"

"What the? Why are you doing this?"

"Oh calm down my dear. You may come out when you have answered the riddle. Until then, I get some peace and quiet."

"You could have left my clothes."

"Now what would be the fun in that?"

"Why did I marry a god with a superiority complex?"

"Oh and Tony?"

"Mm?"

"I love you." The softness on his voice almost made Tony sorry for shouting at him. Almost.

Now that riddle...

I never was, am always to be,
No one ever saw me, nor ever will,
And yet I am the confidence of all
To live and breathe on this terrestrial ball.
What am I?

Thank you for all the reviews alerts and favourites.

I know the riddler is DC, but i thought it was okay because it involved a different universe, and he isnt really a character. And i dont care if you dont like it, Well, i do, but nothing will be done about it so there!

I like riddles. I dont think Tony does.

Has anyone seen the IMan 3 trailer yet? Did you feel your insides twist about, end up feeling sad and insignificant, and then get super excited?

I am sad about Dummy though, i dont think he survived.

(oops, spoiler alert.)

So what does anyone think about incorperating some of the story we get from the trailer into this?

I plan on this being less fluffy and newly-wed ish, and more actiony, plotty, but still with the romance and a growing relationship with Fenrir who i keep forgetting about.

Also, I will try not to kill Loki or Tony this time. It's very hard to write them back in.

I'm done with my wednesdaily ramble now.
