AN: Warning! Mentions of Self-harm.
Also I've updated chapters 22-24, only small things but some bits that I realised needed to be added for future chapters.
Irene started to knock on the door but changed her mind with her fist an inch from the door and instead she checked her hair and pulled out a bobby pin with a satisfied grin.
It took ten minutes and she got an odd look from an old lady in the hallway but she promised it's Avenger business whilst hoping this lady hadn't been daemonised.
"You work for those poor heroes? I don't understand why everyone seems to hate them so..." she stated and Irene grinned.
"Thank God. Well hopefully I'll be able to stop this. So you're saying you're on their side?"
She nodded, "May I ask what Regalis has to do with them?"
Irene's eyes widened, she hadn't expected him to make nice with the locals, "You know him?"
The lady nodded, "I do, he's a sweet young man. Fixed my wardrobe door for me. The young lady that visits him a lot is sweet as well."
Young lady? Evie. "Does she look like this?" Irene pulled out her phone and showed the lady the picture of herself and Evie. The lady nodded.
"That's her."
Irene nodded with a sigh, "Thought so. Sorry I can't tell you why but I promise it'll be sorted please don't tell anyone about this."
"About what?" the lady grinned and winked before walking away making Irene laugh for the first time in a while.
Finally she got the door open and grinned silently whooping. She looked around the room surprised at how normal it looked.
The room had simple crème coloured walls with a few drawn pictures on the walls, she could almost see Evie adding her own decorations into the room, making the room more feminine.
There's a couch with a table in front with a glass in front of it, a shelf of books, a fireplace with origami on the mantelpiece. There was no T.V but an easel in the corner, sitting on a white dustsheet that was splattered with paint, with blank canvases leaning against the wall.
On the easel was a picture of what reminded Irene of the Great Hall in Harry Potter but with more golden colours and without the four long tables. There was a throne at the far end of the room; it was all empty of all but one person stood in the middle of the room, gold and red capes. Something about the person grabbed her attention so she took a picture on her phone encase someone else does.
When she looked at the other pictures around the room she recognised the style being the same as this one.
Irene stepped away from it and continued to look around the room. The kitchen connected into the living room with black granite sides with all the usual's in the kitchen and two unwashed plates beside the sink. There was a corridor leading down to the left where she assumed was the bathroom and bedroom lay.
Looking around the room it looked so normal, like a regular person has lived here for a few months, accumulated his stuff and will continue to live here.
There was a noise for the hallway and Irene stopped to listen, there was moaning coming from the room down the corridor.
"Regaki," a voice moaned and Irene's eyes widened, that was Evie.
Shit. They're having sex in the next room. What was she supposed to do? Just wait? But the moaning quickly made her feel uncomfortable so it would probably be easier to interrupt as awkward as that may be. It would annoy them as well. She knew this is a very bad idea, if she's right he can kill her and probably will especially that she hurt and scared Evie. But right now she just wanted to catch him and didn't care about anything except that.
So of course Irene stormed straight into the bedroom.
Evie pulled backwards, blushing violently but Irene didn't look at her, instead she looked towards the other person.
Regalis.
His hand his hands raised in almost a defensive position before he seemed to recognised her and lowered his arms to casually look confident despite being stark naked and face flushed. His blonde hair was ruffled and eyes dark with lust but he grinned at her knowingly.
Evie was glaring darkly the bruise on her cheek had darkened but Irene didn't stare at it, "Irene!" Evie yelled, "What the fuck?!"
Irene felt a burst of anger, what the hell was Evie doing! "Me, what the fuck! You! I mean...what about Steve! And you're actually- With him!" she pointed at Regalis and he calmly rose an eyebrow.
"What the hell are you doing here?! I don't want to see you!"
"Well I wasn't here looking for you. It's actually you I'm looking for, Regalis. Or Loki, whatever the hell your name is!"
Irene watched as Regalis cocked his head to the side looking quite confused, but she could see in his eyes, they were switching between brown and green. Irene's eye's widened but Regalis ignored that, "Loki?" he asked as if he genuinely didn't understand.
"Oh don't play dumb!" Irene yelled.
"I'm not," he smirked, "I'd like to know why you think I'm Loki. But can we get dressed first?"
Irene sighed, she didn't wanna leave them both alone but she couldn't exactly stand there while they get changed. Him being naked lying on a bed in front of her is disturbing enough for one day.
It took them 15 minutes to get dressed. She wasn't stupid, she knew what they were doing but she really didn't want to see that again, her eyes were burning but she tried to push that image back.
As they came out the room Regalis was wearing jeans and a white shirt with a leather jacket that suited him really well. Evie was wearing a pale pink blouse with a dark blue and white poka-dot skirt.
She was definitely not wearing that earlier.
"How did you get in anyway?" Regalis asked Irene as he walked back into the room. Evie was brushing her hair, with Irene's hair brush. When the hell had she taken that?
Regalis just left his hair dishevelled making some small part of Irene's brain wanted to touch it but then the rest of her brain reminded her that she hates his guy.
"Picked the lock. Easy enough." She admitted uncaringly.
Regalis nodded making a mental note that he really should have secured the door with magic, and he went into the small kitchen. "Drink?" he offered her casually, he said it in a similar way to Tony during the first battle but nobody except he and Tony would know that.
"No. Not planning on staying here long."
Regalis shrugged and put the kettle on and then got a can of coke out the fridge handing it to Evie. Evie took it thankfully.
"So," Regalis spoke up turning to face Irene, he lent back against the breakfast bar crossed his arms and had an expression of curiosity on his face, with a mix of anger and mischief. Evie stood right beside him but moved so that his arm was in front of her – almost as if using him as a shield, "You think I'm that Loki fella, correct?"
Irene nodded, "I don't think. I know."
"And why is this?"
Irene rose an eyebrow, "He's seen Avatar."
Regalis snorted, "It's a good film. Are gods not allowed to watch it?"
"He said it specifically in front of me."
"Coincidence."
"Never ignore a coincidence."
"Unless you're busy." Evie added with a shrug.
Regalis nodded, "I see where you're coming from I guess. Is that your only reasoning?"
"I'm daemonised and you're the only guy I've kissed since 'Loki' escaped."
"Yeah right." Evie said, "You've been at too many parties to not have at least kissed someone else!"
Irene shook her head, "If you'd been yourself you'd realise I like Bruce, a bloody hell of a lot so I don't want anyone else."
"If I'd been myself?" Evie rose an eyebrow, "I am myself, it's you that's changed. I've got bruise on my cheek to prove it. You've never hurt me before."
Irene shrugged, "As I said, I'm daemonised. I noticed that Regalis didn't ask about what daemonised means."
Regalis rose an eyebrow, "It helps when Evie's warned me about them."
"I'm pretty sure that breaks the contact you signed to S.H.I.E.L.D." Irene stated, "Not just a little accidently break, a proper actually shitting on it."
Evie shrugged, "We did the same with Leo."
"He was thrown into the middle of it."
"So is Regalis, by being friends with me that does throw them into the middle of it. Plus I was worried about him."
"You shouldn't be." Irene sighed. Regalis rose a hand and Irene stared at him, "Yes?"
"If I'm actually this Loki guy, why are you here?"
"Because I don't trust you and I need to tell you that we will defeat you. I don't care what you do; it doesn't matter because you're screwed."
Regalis' eyes narrowed dangerously, "Good thing I'm not Loki then, because if I was then this would be the most dangerous you could do coming here to confront me."
Irene took a subconscious step backwards. Regalis' expression changed, becoming blanker. That only made him more threatening. "You would hurt me in front of Evie?"
"You threatened Evie. You threatened our child's life. You hurt Evie. Yes. If I am Loki, then I would." And then his face went from being dark, threatening and terrifying to being relaxed and happy, "Good thing I'm not him then." Irene felt like she got whiplash from his mood change but he didn't give her a chance to reply, he patted Evie's shoulder comfortingly and walked around the breakfast bar. Irene tensed as he walked in front of her and went to the door. He opened it up, "Now I have to ask you to leave or I'll call the cops."
"I'll tell Steve."
"You said that earlier." Evie replied, "Now leave."
Irene did as she was told. Once she was outside she ran, she made it to her apartment and let herself inside falling onto the floor head in her hands, she was shaking. Terrified.
He is Loki.
She had no doubt about that but she still has no proof.
She shouldn't have gone; she should have listened to Sherlock. Now Loki knows she knows she might be the first on his list.
What was she supposed to do? She's an idiot.
She felt a hand rubbing her back comfortingly and whispering soothing words into her ear.
"You went to see him didn't you?" Sherlock asked quietly. Irene nodded, "You idiot. What happened?"
"He threatened me. I mean, not outwardly but I could see it. Evie just stood there, staring at me letting him say those things. I know she's not happy with me right now but," Irene took a deep shaking breath.
"It'll be fine." Sherlock promised, "No matter what Evie loves you. She won't let him hurt you."
"The terrifying thing is; I think she would."
Sherlock didn't know how to reply to that. Instead he just rubbed Irene's back soothingly, "I'll kill him before I let him even breath the same air as you." he promised, he would. He wasn't a particularly violent person and couldn't imagine killing but he would for his friend. He would die or kill. He'd do anything for them.
Irene smiled weakly at him. "Have you told Natalie about what's going on?"
"The basics yes, just to keep her safe."

Loki knew S.H.I.E.L.D was watching him. He wasn't surprised, that was bound to happen soon enough.
So he had to be careful, he took to sleeping as Regalis just in case. Only being himself when he went to Kalur or to speak to Magneto. It was annoying and tiring but he couldn't risk them seeing him.
He knew there was cameras hidden in his apartment, they had been easy to detect and slightly harder – but doable – to hack so all it shows is Regalis doing normal, human things around the apartment. Evie helped with the hacking after she told him that she had studied Computer Science in university. They allowed it to show him and Evie together but only when they sat and watched a film or talked until early in the morning when Evie suddenly remembered she had to get home.
That was the weirdest thing, yes they made love a lot but sometimes they just talked and Loki was shocked at how great it felt to do that. The last time he had done that was with Thor when they were very young and he had just had a nightmare, he went to his big brother for help and Thor had calmed him down and they just talked until the Allfather told them off for being awake so late.
Shaking those thoughts away he wondered what S.H.I.E.L.D would do next, they were watching him but if that didn't show anything? Would they leave him to it or would they try to beat Loki out of him?
Whatever it was it wouldn't work.
So grinning, he continued to make dinner for himself and Evie who sat on his couch reading a book wearing one of his shirts.
She couldn't usually stay so long but with the Avengers busy so often she had more time to stay with him without them knowing.
She laughed loudly and he glanced over to see her deep into the book, he felt very domestic cooking for his girlfriend as she relaxed on the couch. He could do this forever. Evie is the perfect woman that he would love to spend the rest of his life with. He forgets often that she's a human but she's nothing like other humans. Once he even caught himself thinking of the formula for a spell that would make him mortal. The thought scared him, so he'd stopped thinking about it quickly.
If his plan failed and they had to run, if Evie was with him he wouldn't care.
Evie glanced up to see Loki stirring the pasta sauce smiling softly to himself. Evie had tried to call Steve a few times but he didn't answer, she wasn't sure if that was because Irene had spoken to him or because he's genuinely busy.
She finally managed to get in contact with Natasha she told her that Steve was in England at the moment. She didn't and couldn't say why so Evie decided to stay the night with Regaki.
He had told her his theory on S.H.I.E.L.D is watching them and it was easier to trick the cameras if he stays as Regalis so as tiring as it is, he stayed that way. Evie didn't mind she was happy either way just to be here with him.
"Where did you say Steve is?" Regalis asked as he dished out the food.
"Uh England I think."
"Ah."
"You know why?" Evie frowned at him, he was smirking. "Regaki? What's going on in England?"
"I may have sent smoke Daemons to the Prime Minister and Cambridge University in England."
"What?" Evie dropped her book and stared at him, "How? When? But you've been here?"
"I'm not working completely on my own y'know."
"Yeah, I thought maybe...but who?"
Regalis just grinned. "I shall tell you another day."
"Why them?"
"Power and...to help it spread."
Evie frowned in confusion, "Sorry? What?"
"Again, I shall tell you another day."
Evie scowled but she didn't push, she understand that he can't tell her yet but it was annoying knowing that he doesn't trust her completely yet. She wants to help. But until then she just needs to prove her loyalty.

The next morning Evie was woken by her phone ringing. Regalis groaned in annoyance at the Captain America music.
"'Ello?" Evie answered.
"Evie! It's Steve."
Evie knew she should have known that from the music but it shocked her slightly and she sat up, did he know? Has Irene spoke to him? "Steve!" she greeted, Regalis perked up slightly turning to face her. "You know it's like almost 6 am right?"
"Oh sorry." He sounded genuinely apologetic, "It's 11 here. I can't talk for very long but I wanted to wish you a happy birthday and I'm so sorry I can't be there. I tried to convince Director Fury but he didn't care."
Evie blinked and Regalis cocked his head in question, he could just about hear Steve's side of the conversation, "Oh, I'd actually completely forgotten. Thank you Steve."
She could almost hear Steve's slightly embarrassed shrug, "You're present is hidden in my side of the wardrobe, you know the brown coat you like so much? It's in the right pocket of that."
Evie was shocked, despite everything and him being busy almost 24/7 these days, he still stopped to buy her a present? Wow. But right now how the hell was she supposed to get out of this. "Oh Steve, that's wonderful." She answered, "But right now I'm so warm and comfy, will you be offended if I get it later? When I'm more awake."
There wasn't an answer for a moment; Steve coughed almost awkwardly, "You're with him aren't you?"
Shit. "What? Who?"
"Regalis."
Regalis rose his eyebrows, "No. I'm not." Evie lied, "I just hate getting out of bed unless I need to, I won't be able to get back to sleep you know that."
Steve sighed, "Yeah. Uh I should be home later if this goes well. I've got to go, I love you."
"Love you to." Steve cut off the phone and Evie sighed falling backwards, well that wasn't expected.
"It's your birthday?" Regalis asked curiously leaning on her elbow to face her, Evie nodded.
"I'd actually forgotten until Irene reminded me yesterday."
"I didn't know I apologise I would have gotten you something."
Evie smiled softly, the Norse God in disguise looked so concerned that he hadn't brought her a birthday present. "It's fine, I didn't expect you to, not if I hadn't mentioned when my birthday is." Regalis nodded still looking apologetic, "Right I'm gonna try and sleep again. G'night." Regalis chuckled but allowed her to snuggle further into his arms and lay down closing her eyes.
They got about 10 minutes before they were both thrown back into full consciousness by loud Sherlock Holmes music.
"Remind me to put my phone on silent before bed." She muttered to Regalis who laughed. "'Ello?" Evie answered with a sigh, seriously?
"Evie. It's Mycroft; we need to talk to you."
"It's...6am." Regalis begun to trace patterns on her back and Evie smiled softly leaning into the touch.
"I'm glad you're aware on how to tell the time Evie." Mycroft didn't sound like he was trying to make a joke, more like he wasn't amused and couldn't be bothered to play games right now.
"Can't this wait until a normal hour?"
"No. I've just arrived home so we're doing this now."
Evie sighed heavily and sat up. Regalis made a noise of annoyance. "If this is a bloody birthday surprise I'd appreciate it to be later."
There was silence on the other end for a moment; Mycroft wasn't sure how to respond. "It isn't a birthday surprise."
"Alright, I'll be there in a bit." she cut of the phone and dropped back down to lie on her back.
"Mycroft wishes to speak to you?" Regalis asked curiously.
"Yep. I'd assume Irene's spoke to him. He sounds...tense."
Regalis smirked, "Want me to come?"
Evie laughed, "I think that'll only make things worse." she kissed him quickly and then climbed out of bed to get dressed. He stayed in bed just watching her lustfully, "You're staring." Evie commented pulling her bra on.
"I'm aware."
Evie laughed and then yawned, "Uh, I'm gonna kill Croft." she paused and glanced at Loki, "No. Not a challenge."
Loki scowled but he was still grinning. "Damn. My entire plan is ruined."
Evie rolled her eyes, "You're quite sarcastic y'know?"
"Who said that was sarcasm?"
Evie just grinned, "I'll probably see you later, you gonna come to the library?"
"I shall. I'll take you out for a birthday lunch."
"Regaki, best thing you've said all morning."
With that she went to her old apartment to talk to her two best friends.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Tony froze, he fist an inch from the door. "Ok kissing and going out with Regalis is one thing, but sex? This?! No! That's just a whole different thing!"
That was Mycroft's voice, yelling. Tony lowered his fist trying to listen harder.
Regalis, why does he know that name? Loki! That's the guy everyone thinks is Loki but can't exactly do anything and S.H.I.E.L.D won't torture him until they're almost certain encase he is just an innocent man.
"We've been trying to get past the cheating because you're our best friend, but this is just too far." Sherlock was there as well.
"But guys-" Evie spoke up.
Evie? Tony barely held back a string of curse words. Evie's cheating on Steve. With this Regalis guy that might be Loki.
It's too early for this.
"No Evie. Don't 'guys' us." Mycroft yelled, "We've had enough. I hate to make you choose but it's been between Regalis and Steve. If you choose Regalis then you lose us as well."
"Good on you buddy." Tony muttered under his breath.
"What but-?"
"We love Steve. He's a great person and you've been cheating on him! Irene told us, you're-"
"Irene told you?!"
Told them what?
"Yes. We know you two have had a falling out and we had to know why. Now we understand. And we're with her."
"What happened to us against the world? You're on my side no matter what unless it's inside the group. This is outside the group. You're meant to choose me over Steve or anyone!"
"Not when you're wrong."
"Oh I know what it is! You finally have rich and famous friends-"
"Don't you dare accuse us of that." Sherlock warned.
"If you want Regalis go to him." Mycroft stated. "Don't except us to be here when it all comes crashing down."
"Fine. I won't be here when you start cutting again."
Silence.
"Shit, Croft! I didn't-"
"Get out of my sight." Sherlock spoke in a low, dangerous voice, "Get the fuck out of here and don't you dare come back."
There was silence and then a few footsteps, Tony realised Evie was coming towards the door and quickly stepped to the left, Evie stormed out the door and walked straight to right without looking to the left.
Tony stood gobsmacked for a few minutes but then eventually he pushed open the door without knocking. Sherlock stood by the kitchen, Mycroft was sat on the couch his head in his hands. They both looked up in shook when the door opened but when they recognised Tony they both relaxed slightly.
"Tony, hey." Mycroft muttered tiredly he started absentmindedly rubbing at his arms and he didn't look Tony in the eye, "You just missed Evie."
"Is it true? She's been cheating on Steve?" Tony demanded immediately closing the door behind himself.
Mycroft and Sherlock exchanged a glance before Sherlock nodded, "How much did you hear?"
"Enough."
Sherlock began opening up two bottles of beer not seeming to care about the extremely early hour, he held one up to Tony who nodded so Sherlock opened it for him and moved to hand it to Tony. "Put it on the side. I don't being handed things."
Sherlock rose an eyebrow but did as he was told. "So? Explain?" Tony ordered, as picked up the beer and sat down opposite Mycroft; Sherlock sat down next to his brother. Mycroft started scratching at his arms.
The two brothers seemed to have a silent conversation before Mycroft eventually answered, "We've been suspecting she's been cheating for a while, but she's admitting to it now."
"Why haven't you told any of us? Told Steve?"
The scratching got heavier.
"He's spoken with Irene about it." Sherlock explained glancing towards Mycroft's arms as he started scratching even harder, Mycroft put his beer down and reached down to scratch at his leg. "But we weren't sure what to do about it. We've tried talking to Evie but she's refusing to talk to us."
Tony sighed heavily, "Does he know they've gone...further?"
Mycroft shrugged, it looked like an awkward motion with the heavy scratching and Sherlock finally put his hand on Mycrofts. Mycroft stopped scratching looking sheepish. He picked up his beer and downed it. "Sorry." Mycroft muttered. Sherlock shook his head telling him not to worry.
Evie's words came back to Tony about cutting. People thought he's oblivious but he's a genius, he has to notice things, it's his job. Contrary to popular belief, he wasn't blind to details - for the most part, he just ignored them because he couldn't be bothered with being this genius it wasn't hard to work out what that meant and knowing that of course Mycroft wouldn't want Tony to say anything. For one they're not close enough plus this is an extremely hard topic to talk about. So instead Tony downed the beer and stood up.
"Irene tried to get in contact with him but Nat said he's in England or something." Sherlock added.
Tony nodded, "The British Government has been attacked by those smoke things."
Sherlock cursed and Mycroft groaned, "That wasn't Loki then." Sherlock stated.
"Hmm?"
"I mean, if Regalis is Loki, it wasn't him that did that specifically. Irene saw him yesterday and I think Evie spent most of the day with him I think."
Tony sighed and rubbed his eyes, "I need to go talk to Steve. I mean, we don't always get along but I can't keep this from him. Wish me luck for the chick-flick moment."
The twins nodded, "Uh, why did you actually come here Tony?"
"I needed to speak with Irene but I'll catch her later. Thanks for the drink." Tony nodded at them both and with that he stalked out leaving the two men slightly dumbfounded.
Tony went straight up to S.H.I.E.L.D, he knew if Steve had returned he would be filing out a report before he has a rest and even then he'd probably rest at S.H.I.E.L.D rather than in the tower, purely because Steve wants to be ready at a moment's notice.
When he didn't find Steve in the main room nor his own room given by S.H.I.E.L.D, Tony called Steve's cell phone hoping that for once Steve had taken it. When he got no answer he cursed, he knew Steve was the only Avenger that actually went to England with the S.H.I.E.L.D agents.
Deciding there's nothing he can do until he actually see's Steve next he went to the meeting Fury wanted him for. He walked into the board room 20 minutes late with Starbucks, and sat down. He kept his eye on the window waiting to see Steve walking past.
Fury was talking about finding Loki but Tony stopped paying attention within the first few minutes, most of it was obvious and just routine.
Tony jumped to a standing position when he saw Steve walking past the window, "Stark?" Fury demanded glaring at him, it was a glare that made most agents behave immediately but it did nothing for Tony who was more than used to Fury being angry at him.
"Gotta go." Tony stated leaving the room and a pissed off Fury behind.
"Tony." Steve greeted tiredly when Tony stopped in front of him, he had bags around his eyes and looked as if he hadn't been sleeping in weeks.
"Cap! How'd it go?"
"We were too late. The Prime Minister Cameron refused to speak; Thor got there and said he can sense the daemon."
"He's an idiot anyway." a random British agent added from behind Steve.
"Still was helpful to have him on our side." Steve sighed.
"Loki's targeting powerful people." Tony realised, "Agent whatever your name is," Tony called out to the English agent.
He looked towards Tony and then looked around before pointing at himself, "Finch."
"Right, Finch whatever. I need you to ask someone to get a list of the world's most powerful people. Find out who's been hit and who hasn't." Finch nodded and saluted before jogging off.
Steve rose an eyebrow, "What gives you that idea?"
"The American and the English Government, I think Nat's gone to Russia 'cause their president or something was threatened."
Steve nodded, "Make sense. I gotta go make my report; you should go talk to Fury."
Tony held out an arm stopping Steve quickly, "Hold up. Steve I need to talk to you about something." Tony stated before he could chicken out.
Steve's eyes narrowed immediately in worry, Tony knew that calling him by his first name would get his attention faster that this is a serious matter. Although Steve is usually a serious person, so getting his attention that is serious isn't that much of a difficult task to do.
"What's happened?"
"Let's get down to the tower. It's more private."
Steve's eyes narrowed further, "When do you ever care about privacy?"
Tony shook his head, "C'mon."
"Hold on, we've got stuff to do. I need to write a report."
"If we need to go somewhere they'll call us. For now you need a shower and we need to talk. The report can wait."
Tony said that often but usually to get Steve to have fun but Steve seemed to understand that it's different this time by Tony's urgent tone.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Tony sighed as they made it back to the tower, "I hate chick flick moments."
Steve rose an eyebrow, "Tony just tell me what's happened. I've never seen you like this before."
"Strange isn't it? I'm genuinely doing this. Turns out being kidnapped and becoming Iron Man changed me more than I realised."
"Tony-"
"JARVIS is anyone else here?" Tony asked ignoring Steve's warning tone.
"Miss Potts, Mr Banner and Miss Romanov."
"Don't let them in here, we shouldn't be interrupted."
"Tony," Steve warned again.
Tony sighed heavily. He didn't want to do this. He hated talking and doing people stuff but this was something he knew he couldn't keep from Steve no matter what he thought about talking. He just didn't know how to say this, should he explain or be blunt? He was better with being blunt so decided on that, "Evie cheating on you."
Steve blinked once, twice, three times, "What?"
Tony was relieved Steve could still speak but he had to explain, "I went to see Irene earlier. Didn't catch her though. Evie and the twins were arguing. I heard the end of it." Tony found explaining with short sentences at a time was easier, "Evie left. Didn't see me. I spoke to the twins. Apparently you had some idea and spoke to Irene about it?" Steve nodded, "Well, I hate to tell you this. And I mean it; I really hate to say it. But they've had sex. Evie and Regalis that is."
Steve didn't react for a moment, Tony stood awkwardly at the side unsure if he should say anything when suddenly Steve growled out in anger and frustration and kicked the table over. Tony stepped back, more in shock than fear as the table flung across the room under Steve's strength and the Steve processed to fall backwards on the couch head in his hands.
Tony really didn't know what to say, usually he'd make a joke but for the first time he knew that this was a bad time.
Suddenly Steve sat up straight and became the solider that they only saw during battle. Steve straightened up, shoulders back, stared straight ahead and stood up again.
"S.H.I.E.L.D thinks he might be Loki." Steve stated, he sounded emotionless. "Director Fury was asking me about him yesterday. I don't know him well enough except that he and Evie are friends. What do you know?"
"Irene's said a few things that Regalis has done or hinted. Plus the way Evie's been acting since she met him is different." Tony shrugged helplessly and Steve turned away. Tony didn't know what to say. "Steve-"
"Just don't Tony." Steve paused and turned slightly towards Tony but didn't look him in the eye, "Thank you. For telling me." with that Steve stalked out of the room.
