Loki sighed for a moment. "It wasn't the aliens that did this to me, at least not that I know of" he said first.
Tony looked surprised at that, hell who wouldn't be? If it wasn't them, then who was it?
"But I don't believe I should tell you who did it." said Loki, closing himself off.
"Hey whoa, you can't just start and then stop like that, it's cheating." said Tony.
"I may do what I want." said Loki.
"You know, I might just call Shield and tell them you're here if you DON'T tell me." said Tony.
And there it was, a glare, half dead but still there, the 'fuck you, get away from me' glare.
"Just so you know, I do what I want, and I want to get this out of you, so that glare reindeer games? Aint gonna cut it." said Tony.
"You forget who you're speaking to." said Loki.
"Nah, I know, diva and all." said Tony with a grin.
Loki rolled his eyes and looked away from Tony who sighed. "Look, so maybe threatening won't get it out of you, but how about this? If you answer me, you can ask me any question you want in return." said Tony.
Loki looked at Tony skeptically and then sighed. "How do I know you will not go back on your word?" he asked.
"I'm a very open person." said Tony.
"Not all of us are." said Loki.
"Obviously." said Tony again with sarcasm.
"Fine I will tell you, but YOU will answer my question after." said Loki with a serious look in his eyes.
Tony smirked and nodded of course, which was when Loki spoke, it was a long explanation.
"I was imprisoned on Asgard of course, but soon Odin sent the prison guards in to punish me. They did, they did many things, though nothing to this extent. Eventually I was left alone because Thor became angered by what the Odin had let them do to me. Thor however had made some enemies, they attacked Asgard, I saw them attacking us all, and managed to escape the prison. Odin fought them back, but as I fought them as well, they managed to capture me because I was weakened from what the guards had done. I soon learned of their plans to attack this planet, and I tried to infiltrate them out of my cell, I tried to stop them. For that I was severely punished and tortured. Eventually when they got close enough to Earth I used my strength to teleport them backwards and me forwards, I landed in your tower." explained Loki.
Tony sighed. "Man, this is annoying." he stated.
"What do you mean?" asked Loki.
"I mean hey I'm glad you're out of prison, but now I gotta work with Steve again." he said disdainfully.
Loki couldn't help the small smirk that came to his lips, of course no matter how he smirked, it always appeared to be mischievous. He had that perfect look on his face as always.
"So what kind of aliens are we talking about here?" asked Tony.
"Well I don't really know, I do know that they were upset with my father and with Thor. They attacked Asgard, and they must have had good reason to. I don't even know if they're aliens...you see. I was blinded when I tried to stop them, my magics were enough to do most of the work for me, but I do not know who captured me and tortured me." spoke Loki.
"Great so we have no idea what's coming." said Tony sarcastically.
That was when the door bell rang and Tony saw Bruce was there, Tony sighed. "Go take a nap, you look like hell." he told Loki.
"I think I look rather good." said Loki.
Tony replied of course "Not better then me." Loki smirked a smug smirk, Loki went to his room that he'd been in to go sleep, Tony went to get Bruce.
"Hey Bruce." said Tony.
"Hey." said the much quieter man.
"So any idea what we're up against?" asked Tony.
"Stragglers form Loki's attack, except I didn't think there would be so many of them left. Turns out they had a second base and are on their way after supposedly killing Loki on his planet to kill us, they also attacked Asgard because Thor stopped them, and now that he's here, they're after him here." explained Bruce.
"Well we can't count on a nuke this time." said Tony.
"No but we will take care of them this time, this is the last of them." spoke Bruce.
Tony nodded and Bruce suddenly put a hand on his shoulder, he looked to Bruce. "What is it?" asked Tony.
"How are you holding up after the break up?" he asked with concern.
"Fine, in truth I was cheating on her for a while." said Tony nonchalantly.
"Really, Tony?" said Bruce disapprovingly.
"Bruce..." said Tony suddenly.
Bruce looked at him curiously. "I was cheating on her with men." he said almost choking on the words.
Bruce's eyes went wide, Tony was looking at the ground. "You're...are you?" asked Bruce.
Tony shook his head. "I don't know." he said.
Bruce sighed. "Well not like it's any of my business but haven't you slept around with women all your life?" he asked.
Tony looked at him. "Yeah and I am still attracted to them." he said.
"So why the sudden interest in men?" asked Bruce.
"It's not even men, they all...look like someone. It's one man." said Tony with a sigh.
Bruce smirked. "Then it's simple, you have a crush." he said.
Tony went slack jawed for a moment at Bruce's smug smirk. "Wait, a what!?" asked Tony.
"A crush." explained Bruce.
"I haven't had one of those in years." said Tony denying it of course.
"Maybe, but Tony, you have one now. And you are attracted to men, no?" asked Bruce.
"Just ones who look like him." said Tony.
"There you have it, you're bisexual but you have a certain type, and you are quite shallow as usual in your choice of men I would assume." said Bruce.
"I don't think it's shallow actually. Because he..." said Tony before he stopped himself.
"Because he what?" asked Bruce.
"He has some scars now and I'm still attracted to him just the same." said Tony.
"Then it's a full blown crush Tony, the kind you get on a personality and not just appearances, never thought you'd have one to be honest." said Bruce.
"Hey, what's that supposed to mean!?" exclaimed Tony.
"It means Tony, that you're usually all about appearances and no substance." explained Bruce.
Tony shrugged. "But you know something Tony?" asked Bruce.
Tony looked at him. "You have substance." said Bruce.
Tony sighed. "You so sure about that?" he asked.
Bruce nodded and put a hand on his shoulder. "Though usually you boast about it more." he said with a smirk.
Tony smirked. "Well I AM sexy, a genius, and everything else that's perfect in this world." he said with a grin.
Bruce shook his head. "And now you've ruined it." he said.
Tony smirked. "Thanks." he said.
"No problem." said Bruce.
That was when Bruce left, and Tony went to wake Loki up. Loki slowly awoke when Tony shook him slightly. "Hey, so I know doughnuts are all you have, but what else do you think you can eat?" asked Tony with concern.
"I can eat mostly anything Stark." spoke Loki as he sat up slowly.
"Pizza?" asked Tony.
Loki looked at him confused. "I've never heard of it." he said.
"Ok good, you're gonna love it." said Tony calling his favorite pizza place and ordering one.
Loki was slightly amused at how Tony behaved about this food, but he did not mind to be honest. Once Tony had ordered the pizza, Loki followed him over to the couch, the both of them sat down while a few moments of silence passed before Loki spoke.
"So, do I get to question you now?" asked Loki.
"Sure, lay it on me." said Tony.
"How did you get that device in your chest?" asked Loki.
Tony sighed. "Well ok, let me explain this slowly since it's a long story." he said.
Loki nodded a simple nod and Tony began to tell the tale of what had happened to him. He went over Stain, he went over what happened to his body after Stain, he went over the things he'd invented, he basically explained in detail everything, including Afghanistan and his father, the pain of his past with his father, and the pain of that tape he'd found.
"Do you believe him?" asked Loki.
"My father? What? That I'm his greatest treasure? No, he sure as hell never showed it. I believe he cared about his company and was glad I excelled so much, but it doesn't matter. He never was meant to be a father." said Tony.
"You and I have some things in common." said Loki.
"What?" asked Tony.
"My father raised me, but I am not his. I am not his son. I was driven to what I did." spoke Loki.
Tony raised an eyebrow. "To get revenge on him and Thor, you tried to take over our world? Basically showing him that you're better then him, right?" asked Tony.
"In a manner of speaking, correct. I was driven to hatred by Odin." said Loki.
"Huh, well reindeer games, this might get interesting." said Tony with a grin.
Loki smirked a little bit, before he looked away, he couldn't seriously be getting along with the man or Iron now, could he?
