Characters: Loki, Thor, Tony

Summary: Loki – God of Chaos, Mischief, Spam emails…


It was in the midst of battle that Loki appeared before Thor, not the source of the massive city battle this time. With deft ease he seemed to ghost alongside his brother, never in the way when the god of thunder swung his mighty hammer. "Thor!" He greeted, as if they weren't habitually on different sides of the battlefield. Thor's eyes widened a bit, surprise and confusion on his face.

"Brother? What are you doing here?"

Loki grinned, as innocent as he could manage these days. "I have heard you have at last obtained an email address, I wish to have it!"

Thor went very still, a wary yet hopeful look crossing his features. "You… you would engage in the email with me?"

"Indeed!" Loki quipped, eager and smiling so wide his teeth nearly shone like a shark.

Thor looked torn, as if expecting this to be a trick, yet desperately hoping for this to be a sincere desire to reconnect. Loki toned down his grin, trying to remember what it felt like to be sincere and honest with his not-true brother. It was actually a little bit difficult.

"I… understand… if you would prefer not to… I… I was merely excited… at the thought of perhaps… ah but it was stupid of me…"

After the battle was over, Tony couldn't help but stop Thor. He'd seen Loki pop up on the battlefield, noticed that there'd been words exchanged and, he thought, a slip of paper. The vaguely hopeful look upon the thunderer's face was actually setting off more alarms in his head than anything else. Asking, the alarms proved to be quite warranted.

"My brother wished for my email, which I have granted to him."

Tony would have face palmed if he hadn't been in his suit. Instead… "JARVIS? Tighten up the spam filters… double check all firewalls… and cancel Thor's email account…"
