Loki paced his appartment, upset. Yes, Dante had been there for the Widow and not Candy, but he still didn't like how they spoke like old friends. The damn boy tried to show him up! He would have to plan for something better next time. But what? A dinner was out of the question as she had informed him of her 'condition' when he'd offered to get her a snack whilst they rested from skating. What else was there to do in this realm that a mortal maiden would enjoy? Why did he care? Why did he even want to make her happy or impress her? She was a mortal. A Mortal! A friend of those blasted Avengers! Relative to the mindless beast!
What in the nine realms was wrong with him? He sat on the sofa, head in his hands as he tried to sort out his thoughts. The jealousy, the attraction he fealt towards her. It made no sense. Yes, he thought her a diety of some sort when he'd first seen her but now he knew better. So why did he still feel this way? There was nothing he could pssibly gain from being in a relationship with a mortal. Then it hit him. He could use her to get back at the Avengers. She was close to them. He could learn their strengths and weaknesses from her. She will be easy to manipulate. But what to do about that date? Damn..
He decided to take a walk around the city to see if he couldn't find anything interesting. There was but he doubted the maiden would be interested nor that it would be around long enough for him to fetch her to see it. He stepped aside as a doombot flew past, crashing into a parked car nearby. A tall black creature was on it instantly, ripping it apart with long claws that looked to be made of pollished metal. It looked at him as soon as the machine was no longer capable of moving. Or he supposed it was looking at him. It had no face. He had to crane his neck quite a bit to look up at the creatures face- or where it should have been, when it walked up to him. Now he knew how these mortals fealt when they looked up at him.
It didn't seem to find him a threat and turned away, knocking him back into a wall with it's tail before bounding off to aid the green beast. His eyes widend as another bot fell to the spot he'd been standing just a moment ago. Did the creature knock him out of the way to prevent him from being injured? How strange. He marveled at the way it moved and changed shape as it destroyed the offencive machines. Too bad it was aiding the Avengers. He would be quite interested in utilizing it's talents for his own purpouses. Where did they even find such a thing?
He looked up from his spot on the ground as a hand entered his field of vision. Dante. He smiled as he helped Loki to his feet, "Come on, before they notice you here and start tryin' to kick your ass." He scoffed at the man's remark, like they could! He followed the red clad man away from the fight, "You are a good friend of Candy's, are you not?" Dante gave him a cocky smile, "You could say that." He hummed in thought before deciding on how to ask, "I am not from this realm. I am at a bit of a loss as to what people do here for entertainment." He chuckled, "You askin' me for dating advice for Candy?" He glared at the slightly shorter man, "If you wish to put it so bluntly, then yes. What would be a good thing to do on a date with her? What would she enjoy?"
He tensed up a bit when Dante threw an arm around his shoulders like they were best friends. "She ain't like most chicks, I'll tell ya that. You know she's an artist, can dance, skate, all that fun shit. She likes cars. Classics mostly. The older, the better. Anything fun, really. Carnivals, sports like water sports mostly, fights.." He gave the white haired man a funny look at that one. What maiden enjoyed fighting? He laughed at the look and explained, "She really likes watching MMA.. Mixed martial arts fights. There's very little in way of rules just no major, dirty moves. First person to give up, get knocked out or become phisically incapable of continuing, loses.. Well, she actually prefers the illegal, underground fights, but those are hard to come by. Those include death as a possible method of losing." He nodded in understanding, "I see. There's far more to her than meets the eye." Dante laughed, "Oh yea. More than you could immagine."
He got Dante's number before they parted. Not the most sophisticated man, but he wasn't too terribly unpleasant to be around. He seemed to enjoy turning everything into a joke and letting insults roll off his back like water upon a duck, often times twisting the words to make them sound as a compliment. Perhaps there were a few mortals worth his time after all.
Steve almost freaked out when Candy pounced on Hulk's back and was thrown to the ground, Hulk jumping on her, still in her secondary form. Tony had dubed it the she-hulk. He relaxed when he heard the strange noise of Hulk laughing, realizing they were just wrestling. Bruce had mentioned that she was close friends with the Other Guy. It was beyond strange, however to see the rage monster laughing and smiling like a child playing with his best friend. Apparently he wasn't the only one who thought so, either. Clint was taking pictures of the scene with his phone while Natasha just stared. It was hard to tell what Tony was doing in his suit, but was sure he was having Jarvis record the event in some way or another. Thor was the first to get over the shock of the sitation and joined in the wrestling match.
If it weren't for all the laughing, one would believe the wrestling match to be a real fight. Steve honestly didn't think any of them were holding their punches in the least. Well, Candy was. The only indication being that her hands were in fact hands instead of claws. Now that he thought about it, he didn't really understand why he was so suprised. Thor was a warrior, of course he wouldn't hold back and Hulk was.. well.. Hulk.. Maybe he thought they'd hold back a bit seeing as they were wrestling a lady? At least they understood now why Bruce was never worried about what the girl did or what others did to her. She could definently take care of herself.. In a fight at least.
Thor laughed whole-heartedly when she picked both the men up oer her head with ease before spinning and slinging them to the ground quite some ways away. Thor was the first to hit the ground, having been holding onto the green beast when he was picked up and landed in a patch of grass. Hulk flew a bit further, landing atop a car before laughing and turning back into Bruce who cheered that she'd worn the Other Guy out. Thor agreed, he too was quite exhausted from their 'glorious battle' and ready to head back to 'feast'. Yea.. Was there anyone there that was used to Thor-speach yet? Steve highly doubted it.
