Ani rolls her eyes at Bruce as she pulls out a card to pay the bill. "Honestly Bruce it's not that big of a deal. And if you want to be technical I didn't use it on you, I used it on the Hulk."
"It's still dehumanizing!" Bruce yells, as the waitress comes to pick up the check. She gives him a weird look, but says nothing as she takes the card to charge it.
" Would you rather the Hulk wreck the helicarrier and kill everyone, mister I have to save all the innocent people?" She pauses and waits to see if he is going to respond. He sits there for a second, and the second he opens to say something Ani cuts him off, "No, I didn't think so. Besides is the Hulk really human? Can you dehumanize something that's not human? Philosophical questions for another time." As she finishes the waitress comes back with the card, that Bruce can now see says Samantha Hicks on it. "It's time to go."
Sitting on the plane Tai stares at the eggs and toast in front of her with a glare. "What is this? This isn't good. You said I could get whatever I wanted and I don't remember ever saying I wanted gross eggs and soggy toast. And where's the coffee? You got me out of bed without coffee!"
Loki barely looks up, "It's food. Eat it and behave like you agreed to."
Tai narrowed her eyes. "No, this is not the food I was promised. This is what is going to cause your prisoner to sing the hearse song at the top of her lungs during the entire invasion attempt."
Loki growled and grabbed his scepter. Pointing it at her neck he replied "You will eat it and behave. We are almost to the place you call New York and I expect…"
She quickly cut him off, "In that case we can stop at Crzy Cups. It's on the corner of the street right near stark towers."
His eyes narrow at her, "How do you know where we are going?"
She tossed the plate of hideous food at a minion walking by, "You may or may not talk in your sleep. It's kind of adorable."
He blushes and growled out " I do not! Now if I get you this Cup of Crazy will you cease this behavior and act like a good prisoner?"
"First of all, it's called Crzy Cups not Cup of Crzy, that would be silly. And second of all, will you please define good? I might be more likely to take suggestions if that's what you mean."
Loki sighed " How about this? I get you this one thing and you will not try to escape when we get to our destination. That or I will just let you go hungry and sedate you until this is all over."
Tai cocks her head to the side, "if i'm not at the battle then what's the point of keeping me? You can't kill me," at Loki's raised eyebrow she adds, "trust me. So what the point of me being here, is it to piss off Ani, because I'm guessing job already done."
"Your friend is of no concern. You forget, she fell to her death attached to that green abomination. You will never see her again. You however amuse me. You are only still alive because of this and when you cease to amuse…. Why are you laughing?"
Tai is holding her stomach and gasping for breath. " Oh she's not dead. Besides that point, I amuse you? Oh the god of mischief can't kill something so it's considered amusing? You are crazier than Ani! But to the more immediately important part, if you get me what I want from Crzy Cups I will not quote 'Try to escape', though all bets are off when your defeated… or if i get to bored or insulted by a minion."
Loki puts his face in his hand, then sits back up after sighing. "Deal." he says through clenched teeth in defeat.
They are stand at the valet waiting for the bike to be pulled around. "So where do you think they are going to be in New York, Samantha?" Bruce looks at her sideways.
"Samantha? Did you just call me an ex girlfriends name? I thought people did that during sex not in normal conversation." She looks at him with a smirk, "It's Ani by the way," with that she sticks out her hand, "nice to meet you,"
"So Ani isn't your code name? Because I know for a fact that the name on the card you handed the waitress said 'Samantha Hicks'. I get it, working for Shield must be dangerous after all. I am sure you have met your fair share of unsavory people."
"Lets us get one thing straight first of all, I do not work for shield. I never have and never will, me and Tai were dong Furry a favor that is all. And that is only because he was such an adorable child, which is surprising because he was an ugly baby. Do you understand?" Ani glares at Bruce.
Bruce blinked. "So, Samantha is not your real name?"
Ani heaves a sigh, "No, my name is not Samantha. When you live as long as we have it starts to look weird using the same name all the time. Not to mention boring!"
Bruce looks at her smirk. "You stole the card didn't you? Last night at the bar you pick-pocketed it."
Ani looks offended, "Is that really something you think I would do? I thought we had made a connection." She let her eyes water a little as she looks away from Bruce. After a solid 30 second of him not saying anything Ani looks back at him.
"Are you done yet?" Bruce says with a raised eyebrow.
"Fine, yes I stole it, are you happy now?" Ani says with a pout.
"No, I would be happy if you returned it."
As the bike pulls up Ani drops the card onto the pavement, " Let a good samaritan do it we have things to do, and I don't want the lecture about it."
"Of course you just drop it on the ground. How silly of me to think otherwise."
Ani smirks as she mounts the bike with Bruce behind her. "Hey, at least I'm not keeping it."
Bruce notices the valet boy pocketing the discarded card. Before he can say anything, the bike lurches forward. They were on a fast track to New York City, and Ani only had one thing on her mind….. Coffee… And Tai of course... Also lots of coffee.
