Phone went back to Tony.

"And Stark, why do you need the reports about Doctor Banner?"

"I need his location."

"All we know that's not true."

"Except Thor."

Then Thor's face is already puppy's.

"NO, Thor. There will be no assemble-without-Thor thing. Believe me. You don't have to worry."

"What do you need, Stark? You and I know if you just want his location, you can track his phone."

"Well... I needed your agent's stalking record because I thought there would be picture of someone whoever contacted with Banner."

"Isn't there?", Fury questioned.

"Not everyone, just 3/4? The one I want to see his face also has no picture. Fury, I need his face. Tell that to your dogs."

"Why. You. Need. That?"

"Because Banner picked up something really looking like Loki, and He was panicked. At that time, I had no idea about Loki's escaping, so I convinced him that's not Loki. He believes that. And don't tell him about escaping or possibility of the man under the same roof with him can be Loki unless you want to see Hulk in India. I don't know why someone smashed Loki like a toy was shocked that much by seen Loki-replica, that's not matter. And call to Hawkeye and Black Widow please. It's assembling time. Thank you for your help, bye!"

Fury shouted something but Tony ignored that as usual. Thor looked confused.

"Then is there no way to find Loki except take a picture of the man with Bruce?"

Tony grinned.

"No, SHIELD probably started hacking in to all camera of the world and searching his face feature. What we need to do is assembling now to deal with Loki when we find him."

Tony contacted all avengers except Natasha, Clint and Bruce. Then he drank another cup of coffee. Thor find cookie jar in somewhere of the floor and happily chew them.

Thor said, "I don't know why he came to earth this time."

"Maybe he wants to conquer earth. He failed last time."

"I know my brother. Well, I can't say I know all of him, but he is not a person who acts without proper ready. He always had plan. If he really wants to conquer earth, he will wait until his whole magic come back to him."

Tony coughed, "What?"

"Did I say something strange?"

Tony needed some time to stop coughing.

"You mean, he has only particle of his magic power now?"

"Yes, Odin said he would restrain them until punishment ends. I thought Loki lost all power, but now I can guess that he hided some of his power and pretended having nothing. I can't guess how much he hided now, but certainly not big part of whole power. He would know that's not enough to deal with avengers. And he has no army. No more."

Thor shook his head.

"I can't guess why he is here. I can't know."

Bruce brought a bowl of soup to Louis-Loki. Loki smiled shyly.

"Thank you."

"No problem."

Bruce started eating soup in his own bowl. Loki picked up spoon. All motion for eating soup is so painful. Loki tried not to reveal his suffering, he was really good at that, but he is too tired to pretend enough to deceive the doctor.

Bruce frowned.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, well, all body is sore. But it's okay. That's because I ran almost all day long. Inevitable thing."

Bruce noticed 'ran' is not just meaning 'ran'. But he can't ask more.

"Did you cook this?"

"Yes, problem?"

"No, it's really good. I like it."

"That's because you're hungry."

"No, no. I grew up in rich family. My tongue is trained by a lot of food. I know what is delicious even in starving situation. And, it's good soup."

Bruce can feel his cheek became pink. No one ever praised his cooking. Of course he rarely gives people that. There are not much people he can get a chance to do that.

Loki laughed.

"What a shy doctor."

Then he went back to eat. They eat in comforting silence. Loki ate all in his bowl. He looked satisfied.

"Want more?", Bruce asked.

"I want, but I'm full. I don't eat this much usually."

"But it's just a bowl of soup. Now I know why you are so thin. You need more food, Louis."

"That's not my choice."

"Then? Whose choice?"

Loki pressed his lips each other.

Bruce apologized, "Sorry, I don't plan to be rude."

"I know, doctor. That's not your fault.", Loki grinned.

Assembling team needs some hours. Avengers are living around the world. So Tony and Thor have to spend time by themselves. And Tony doesn't know what to do with the thunder god during the time.

"Damn. We have to live together. I must build a building or rebuild this tower. What if a villain invades this city and we need at least six hours to assemble? Shall we ask him to give us some time?"

Thor frowned and asked, "We need that much time?"

"Yes, Fury said Nat and Clint are in other country for subsidiary missions. And Cap must be lost in New York."

"Then I must go."

Tony shouted, "What? Disassembling before assembling?"

Thor shook his head, "No, Friend Tony. Didn't I say about a bird?"

"You mentioned that while you and Fury talked."

"I left her in a park where she let me know Allfather's message. I thought there would be a battle soon, and battle is bad for her. But if at least some hours needed to find Loki and assemble avengers, leaving her there is not a right thing. I have to take care of her."

"So you go?"

Thor is already grabbing Mjolnir, "Yes, I will come back after I find her-"

The Thor saw Tony's stern look. Thor stopped his motion and saw where Tony's index finger directed. He can see the broken window.

"Oh...right. Where is the door?"

Tony smiled happily and directed the door. Thor went out. After several minutes, Tony could hear the sound of flying Thor with satisfied look.

"JARVIS?"

[Yes, sir?]

"Let me know if any avenger comes. I'll go to another lab, where has the whole windows. And also let me know if Fury says he gets the photo of Loki or Loki-replica."

[I'll do, sir.]

Loki checked his body. It's better than just after escaping. He rested (Bruce let him sleep more), ate (really good soup and sandwiches), was injected fever reducer one more time (It made body feel lighter. He needs to study that, if he get some chance.)

But his body is sore yet. What is more dangerous between staying with Bruce and leaving now in this body? Other avengers will contact Bruce and tell him about Loki's escaping when Thor knows about that and goes to his team. But He can't sure he could move long distance.

He also checked his magic core. He could manage hiding some of his power, but that can't even heal him. And it will be wise not to use magic until he has some base in Midgard. He always has to remember Heimdal really tried to find him.

He has nothing. He doesn't have even himself fully.

Loki growled.

"Headache again?"

Bruce asked worriedly.

"No, just think something."

The doctor rolled his eyes.

Loki said, "I escaped. I had plan to escape, but not for after that. I thought escaping only, because I had little time to plan another thing."

"So you have no plan now?"

"Right. I knew I had to plan more... But hell, of course I had to plan. Why was I so stupid?"

Doctor chuckled. Loki feels easy to say his thought to this doctor. Maybe that's because Bruce doesn't know who he is. It's real irony of anonymity. Anonymity gives you very strong wall of lies, so you can tell truth that cannot tell in your real name.

"You wanted to escape so badly."

"You're right."

"And no one can plan everything."

"But everyone needs a plan that can make them alive, don't you, doctor?"

"Then I can suggest some plan for your life, Louis."

Doctor's voice suddenly turns from gentleness to seriousness. Loki swallowed. He already tensed his body to run away from here instantly if doctor says such 'did you think you can fool me?' things...

"Stay here until you healed."

Loki blinked. Bruce laughed at Loki's dumb face. He realized Bruce teased him.

"I know you are thinking about running away. I know you have to. But also I know if you run away now, you would be captured or collapsed on some street again. You said you just 'run all day', but I know your body is shit. And the guys whoever chase you must be very nervous now. It's better staying inside and waiting than going now and being a target."

Loki blinked again.

"You said like...you are used to do these things."

"I am."

"Why?"

Bruce smiled weakly, "Because I'm escaping too. I have been always escaping since... sorry, that's my story thing. There are many people who hate me. I even know an organization is always stalking me and watch what I am doing."

"Is that related to 'when I am really angry, I can be Hulk and smash you on the floor' thing?"

Loki can see the doctor flinched when he said 'Hulk'. Loki pretended saying that word only for metaphor.

"...Yes."

"Did you kill people when you were angry?"

Doctor clenched his teeth.

"A lot."

Strangely, Loki blurted out, "So did I."

Then their eyes met. Loki doesn't avoid Bruce's eyes.

"I killed a lot. And I failed to kill more."

Bruce asked, "Do you regret that?"

Loki grinned sadly, "Yes, for both."

"Both?"

"If I killed no one, I can be innocent. If I killed more, I can be a king or hero."

Bruce's mouth opened like he wants to shout something. Then closed. Opened again, Closed again. Finally opened.

"Killing a lot can't make someone a hero."

Loki chuckled, "I thought so. But then realized what matter is not how much. It's when and what."

Bruce saw something crazy in Loki's eyes. Then Loki smiled innocently. So doctor cannot see more the craziness.

"So, you said an organization is stalking you?"

"Yes, why?"

"Is there anyway to hide from them? I don't want to leave some photo or any data to them."

Of course Loki knows that is SHIELD.

Bruce nodded and thought a while.

"You will be better stay inside. I choose this place because it has hard position to be pictured and window is so small and I made a curtain for that. They will use infrared goggles and maybe eavesdropping gadgets. But at least you won't be taken a picture."

Then Loki doubted the doctor does know what is privacy or he ever has had that since Hulk is.

A/N :

"I killed a lot. And I failed to kill more."

Bruce asked, "Do you regret that?"

Loki grinned sadly, "Yes, for both."

"Both?"

"If I killed no one, I can be innocent. If I killed more, I can be a king or hero."

I really enjoyed writing this part. I badly wanted to write this part...!

Yeah. I really think if Loki killed more, he can be a hero or king.

I already wrote some of next part. In there, finally avengers assemble!

I have some more dialogue(between someone and Loki or someone and Bruce or Bruce and Loki!) that I really want to write... But I have to wait until the timing is right. It's really torture of myself by myself for myself!

And thank you for reading this fiction. :-)

P/S : I am the stupidest in the world maybe... I usually use wordpad to write story, then upload that to this site. When I wrote in wordpad, I use '-' to devide the part of story(Bruce & Loki part, Other avengers part) Then I realized the line disappeared when I check my story! Wow. Maybe this site really hate hyphen. You guys really really were confused by not having deviding line... So I learn how to use inserting horizontal line. I'm sorry...
