Iris came wincing her way towards them, she wore a leather jacket and no one could tell if beneath it she really was seriously hurt but she had a huge smile on her face that Loki found himself wanting to return but thought better of it. Thor nodded respectfully and took her hand and kissed it softly before letting it fall to her side.
''My lady.'' Thor said politely, Loki scoffed embarassingly shaking his head with a roll of his eyes. He watched Iris who had a small blush on her face, he narrowed his eyes and decided he'd make sure that a blush wasn't the only thing she got from his kiss soon enough. A strange sound coming from Iris made him turn wary, it sounded like a beast. Iris burst out laughing at Loki's expression and let it echo the place, luckily Natahsa had left.
''It's my stomach, Loki. I havn't eaten in...what has it been, days?'' She asked herself curiously, Loki looked up and down her small body quickly raising an eyebrow and looking at Thor for an answer who merely shrugged half heartedly.
''You two probably havn't eaten in forever, huh?'' Iris said making her way to the door, the way she moved was like a dancer, titpoeing lightly over everything in her way.
''So what do you Asgardian's eat?'' Iris asked from over the counter of the small kitchen she had been blessed with. Loki snapped he glance up to her and smirked widely, showing a little of his white teeth he leaned forward ever so slightly over the counter so his face was inches from hers.
''Humans.'' He said in a serious tone, dropping his smirk into a solemn frown. Iris's eyes widened and her heart stammered into her chest. Until Thor laughed of course which ruined Loki's bit of fun, Thor clamped a strong pinching hand on Loki's back as a warning sign.
''Forgive my brother, he is only trying to scare you. And we will eat whatever you have.'' Thor said, Loki fought the urge to hit him. He flicked the inside of his mouth boredly and then heard Thor murmer something beneath his breathe.
''Forgive me fair lady but I am needed elsewhere, Loki behave.'' Thor said getting up out of his seat and walking out, Iris watched him leave with her eyebrows raised.
''He is like a giant teddy bear.'' Iris said turning her gaze back to Loki who had moved back slightly, he gave a laugh luckily knowing what it was.
''And what, pray tell am i like, little human?'' Loki asked curiously, using ''human'' as a nickname annoyed her deeply. She looked at him for a moment chewing on her bottom lip thoughtfully, and laughed quietly.
''A snake.'' SHe decided nodding at her observation. Loki let out a laugh, and this time it was honestly geniune and it made Iris's heart stutter. He smirked wildely.
''I do recall making snakes appear in a wine glass once, i don't understand why no one else found it amusing.'' Loki admitted remembering when he had done that, on Thor's big day. He winced internally remembering their conversation that day.
''Sometimes i am envious, but remember that i love you, brother.'' Loki had said to Thor, who clamped a hand over his brother's shoulder and smiled.
''Thank you brother.'' He said leaving a silence.
''Now give us a kiss'' Loki said jokingly as they broke out into a fit of laughter.
''Are you alive in there?'' Iris asked waving a hand infront of Loki who nodded slowly, Iris let out a sigh of relief and went to go get something from the fridge.
Bending over she picked up a few things, though it was unintentional it gave Loki a good look and he couldn't help but stare, he couldn't believe himself. He cleared his throat as she turned back putting things on the counter. He looked at the Misgardian food miserably, it didn't look much like Asgard's food, but it would have to suffice him for now.
''I said, that would have been funny. '' She said pulling up a chair so she sat ooposite him biting into a red apple that tasted delicious, he looked at her like it was the strangest thing on earth.
''What is that?'' He questioned picking up one for himself twisted it around in his hand.
''Its a fruit; an apple. They are so good.'' Iris said with a big toothy smile taking in another bite, Loki took it and inspected it once more before copying the human and eating it like she did, how could he explain the taste? It was juicy and delicious but he couldn't let her know that. Misgardian food was not something he should be eating. She shrugged tossing a green apple to him .
''Green's your favourite color maybe you'll like this one more?'' She suggested throwing away what was left of the apple and returning to her seat, watching him as if he were her new puppy trying something for the firs time.
''Perhaps.'' Loki said taking in a huge bite, he admittedly liked this one better than the other, it was sour and sweet at the same time.
''Green is the colour of Envy, maybe that's why you like it so much?'' Iris mused causing Loki to look up, instead of getting angry he got curious. Maybe so, little human.
Iris yawned for the tenth time laying her head against the window behind her seat, Loki stood boredly next to her. Everyone else was fighting with eachother or speaking lowly, there was nothing to do except wait. Loki watched her with a small smile, it was strange to be in the presence of a human so easily, as if it was the simplest thing in the world. He still could not believe the only thing she ate was one of those apple things, back in Asgard everyday was a feast. He got an idea, howver he had no idea why he was doing this for the human.
He tapped her shoulder lightly, putting his mouth to her ear.
''I think that they need a distraction, wouldn't you say?'' He whispered with a smirk, she nodded eagerly awaiting whatever he was going to do. With a flick of his wrist 3 large snakes appeared from his feet and slithered to them on the ground, though Iris wasn't fond of snakes it was funny watching them not realise. One went over Stark's foot and he noticed this time, almost yelping.
''Nope, nope, nope'' Stark said walking swiftly out of the room. Finally everyone else in the room began to yell or shriek, some weren't too fased but were merely confused. Loki and Iris's laughter chimed together as everyone left the room hastily, forgetting they were even there. Thor was still nto back from wherever he went. Loki glanced down and looked at Iris, he realised this was the first person that geniunely found his little pranks funny, without being forced to by fear or respect. Loki flicked his hand again and the snakes were gone, glancing at his hand he sighed.
''I am too weak to conjure good magic.'' Loki said in annoyance, Iris stood up with a beaming smile.
''That was hilarious.'' She said giggling, she could still hear people fussing about it in the other rooms. Loki smirked and waved his hand again, in his hand was a blue Iris flower with petals that seemed to have silver specks on them, he opened his palm with the handcuffs on and blew on the flower which floated over to Iris who stared at it wide eyed before gently taking it from the air.
''Ah, ah.'' Loki said in a scolding tone, he picked it up out of her hand which was annoying with the dreaded handcuffs and placed it in the top of her light blonde hair and left his hand there for a long, long moment leaving her breathless. He opened his mouth about to say something but nothing came out. She is a strange misgardian Loki, not yours.
''You're tired, misgardian.'' He observed seeing her swaying a little, maybe she was sick he reasoned. She shook her head and her curls brushed against Lok's side making him scoff.
''Where is your chamber?'' He asked looking around slowly, she smiled a little touching the petals of the Iris in her hair admiringly.
''Bedroom, Loki. Not chamber. That sounds like the toilet or something. And its down the hall a little.'' She said pointing a tiny finger at the hallway, where she swore she saw a figure. It was her damned mental disease coming back, and if Loki saw her like she was the other night with the voices he would tell the others. She chewed on her lip tasting copper.
''Are you going to sleep with me- ugh no i mean umm'' She bowed her head blushing furiously, if she looked up she would have seen Loki chortling and smirking. Mother and fat- Odin and Frigga would have liked her even if she was human, Loki thought.
''I will acompany you tonight, i have no idea where else i am mean to be.'' Loki said as she nodded and started leading the way to her room. He felt like a hound following a white rabbit and about to kill it, he thought with a sickening feeling. He realised he couldn't ever kill her, or even harm her really. He couldn't even imagine those blue eyes growing dead.
Loki sat patiently on the chair in her room looking ahead pointevly. His frown turned into a smirk as he heard the water turn off, oh what fun he could do. He quickly flicked his hand even though it was quite annoying with the handcuffs and watched as hundreds of spider illusions crawled their way into the bathroom, tick tock tick tock.
'Three, two, one' Loki mouthed just as he heard a bloodcurdling scream from the bathroom, he chuckled to himself as she slammed the door open in nothing but a towel. Loki gulped slightly but didn't say anything because the door of the room busted open with a bang! Two agents stood there with there mouths agape, unsure of what to do next they advanced towards Loki.
''No wait, sorry there were just s-spiders in the bathroom, or i thought i saw them, sorry.'' She blurted out to the two male agents who tried not to look at her in her situiation.
''Very well, miss. Let us know if you need anything'' One of them said giving a look to Loki and saying something into the device they wore on their ear and near their mouths, she nodded and they walked out shutting the door behind them. Iris let out a shaky laugh, her heart was pounding inside her chest. She flopped onto the bed and stared up at the ceiling, that had been an adrenaline rush of a lifetime. Loki cleared his throat looking out the window with pursed lips, she looked at him and he looked cute like that she decided, but then she glanced at herself and forgot she was in a towel.
''Sorry!'' She said from behind the door getting dressed, Loki very much liked her in a towel, but of course he couldn't. She was only doing this out of the genorosity of her innocent heart. He glanced at the drawer beside her bed and saw tablet scattered inside it, he advanced forward to it taking the packet that lay beside them and putting it beneath his clothes, something about it was strange. He returned to the chair and waited for her to get out.
''Should i be scared the God of Mischief is in my bedroom?'' She asked as she walked out, sitting on her bed watching Loki carefully, his lips spread into a smile. A real smile, not a sneer or a smirk, a genuine one and it made her legs go weak.
''It depends, are you scared?'' He asked looking up in the chair, and he really did look like a God. A young one but still, he looked like a king.
''Nope'' She said popping her lips as she said it, he laughed and nodded. After a silence past and they just stared at eachother Iris bit her lip down and then asked something he hoped no one ever did.
''Can you show me what you really look like?''
