Tony decided against giving Loki the grand tour or more specifically he decided against giving Loki the grand tour the second they all stepped into the building. Instead he lead Loki to the elevator and hit the button to take them to penthouse number six. "You'll have a whole floor to yourself, programmed to only let those you want come in. It also happens to be above Thor if you're into that. If not...well I suppose I could show you a different floor." The door opened with a quiet ding and Tony wasn't all that surprised when Loki didn't reply to anything he had just said.

Loki was the first to leave the elevator. He walked out and was rather surprised at the rooms that could be his if he only agreed. The elevator doors opened to show off an open space with two rooms in one. Most of the room was living space with the largest television Loki was sure Tony could have found, dark wooden floors that matched the bookcases already half filled with books of various genres. Loki immediately walked to the shelves and ran a hand across the spines as he read the titles.

Tony followed Loki in and leaned against the large plush couch. The black leather crinkled a bit and Tony smiled as Loki turned to see where the sound had come from. He didn't want the crinkling to startle Loki into leaving, running away before he could even think about accepting the offer.

Almost proud of the fact that he hadn't flinched at the sudden sound. Loki returned Tony's smile as he turned away from the impressive stash of books. Of course if he moved in he would have his own books to add. Loki realized that even with the books he owned the bookcases wouldn't be completely full, he would have room to fill.

Steve entered the penthouse last. He had never been on this floor. He was rather surprised that the penthouse was similar to the one he had been given. It had the same overly large television. The kitchen was still to the left of the elevator even if the color scheme was much darker then then the one he was used to.

"The kitchen is over there, obviously." Tony tilted his head to the left. "If you ever have any questions...well you probably won't have any about the coffee machine unlike some people." Tony pointedly looked back to Steve who somehow managed to seem apologetic without even doing anything.

Looking to the kitchen Loki could see a perfectly shined black oven, probably never even used. A coffee pot and a tea kettle. Even the cabinets were better than the ones he had at Tea and Potions, they all had doors that weren't hanging by a final hinge. The wooden floor continued from the living room to the kitchen and somehow seemed to compliment the black appliances. His smile only seemed to widen. The kitchen might have seemed too dark to some people but not to Loki. He walked into the kitchen and immediately felt comfortable. It was dark but the white tiled walls kept the room from feeling like the void. No part of the room felt as if it would close around him. For once he felt at ease in his surroundings. He didn't feel as if the world would snatch him and swallow him up. It felt like someplace he might be able to call home. Loki shook his head at that thought. Those type of thoughts were dangerous.

"Down the hall, right of the elevator, are two or three bedrooms. One is larger, that would be the master. That room would most likely be the one you would sleep in."

"I haven't agreed to anything."

"Yet. You haven't agreed to anything yet." Tony corrected. He followed Loki to the kitchen. "I think we could make this work. Even if you don't want to be an official part of the team, Snowflake, you could stay here and continue to run Tea and Potions. If you wanted, it could be a similar setup to what you had with Daddy's Stand In."

Raising an eyebrow Loki asked in a deadpan voice, "Daddy's Stand In?"

Steve decided to follow Tony to the kitchen and he immediately cringed at his nickname for, "Fury. He means director Fury."

Loki almost laughed. Instead he rolled his eyes and said, "The All-Father better not hear such talk. I'm not sure he would take kindly to being compared to a mortal." He closed his eyes and tried to focus on figuring out what he really wanted. Of course he couldn't seem to figure out what it was that he truly wanted, not completely. A part of him wanted to stay in the rooms above Tea and Potions but he hadn't felt safe in them since Fury had made his deal so many months ago. Another part of him wanted to go to Asgard but that would never be an option. Besides, he couldn't remember ever feeling safe in Asgard. He wanted...he wanted everything and nothing. Loki wanted to feel as if he could live without the void reaching its tendrils toward him.

Tony walked beside Loki and just barely put a hand on the man's shoulder. "You don't-"

"I accept your most gracious offer." Even if he was content with his choice Loki didn't sound like he was. "I would like to live here, if you'll let me. I would like to still run Tea and Potions. And maybe one day I'll feel comfortable in giving you an answer on whether I will join your team." He didn't look at Tony or Steve, his shoulders were hunched.

"Lokes, if you don't want to stay here that's fine. Just say so" Tony removed his hand from Loki's shoulder.

Loki stood a little straighter. "I would like to stay here, Stark. I'm simply puzzled as to why I feel...safer here then anywhere else I've been in a long time.

Steve gave a wide grin that Loki thought might be able to rival Thor's sun kissed smile. He asked, "When do you want to move in?" And after a brief pause he asked, "Will you need any help when you do?"

Walking out of the kitchen Loki turned back to Steve and Tony, "I'm free now." He looked quickly between the two and he almost didn't finish what he set out to say, "I would appreciate any help you could offer to me. Thank you."

Steve and Tony replied at the same time, "Of course." "Let's go."
