Steve gripped the table, firmly, finding it difficult to stand. Loki's so aggressive when he kisses, it was just like- God, I think he's trying to choke me with his tongue. And his hands, they're- Steve broke the kiss, shoving Loki away, "What the hell do you think you're doing!" he demanded.

Loki chuckled under his breath. With his thumb and forefinger, he wiped the corners of his mouth, "You didn't seem to care so much a moment ago, that is until you realized you may being watched," he gestured to various cameras throughout the room.

Steve's eyes widened at the thought, his eyes darting around the room.

Loki chuckled, "Or you hadn't," he glanced around the room, "Not to worry, they can't see us...at least, not exactly. They see us in a different way."

"How do they see us?" Steve pressed.

"That's not important," Loki assure him. "What's important, is you kissed me back," he taunted, eyes raking over Steve's body in a hungry mater. "And it seems like you're body is expecting more," he added, licking his lips.

Steve's eyes fell to the rise in his pants. How can this be possible? he wondered. Unless it's more of Loki's magic? I mean, he's a guy, I can't...but I was just remembering Lonna and how she...with her tongue. He felt his pants tighten and his flesh twitch with desire. There was no imagining that.

Loki moved forward once more, extending a hand outward, touching Steve's chest, "You say what's on your mind, but what's in your heart?" Loki asked, that Asgardian accent, circling Steve's ears in a seductive tone. It has to be magic, he told himself. Hypnosis, perhaps. That has to be it.

Loki's hand trailed down Steve's chest until it reached the bulge in the man's pants. Carefully, he massaged it in a way that almost scared a moan from Steve's lips. Loki was thrilled to hear the sound and couldn't help but notice his own aroused excitement. He watched Steve, watch him in a mixture of possible terror and the desire for more, he decided to give him a little of both. Leaning forward, he bit at Steve's lip playfully, but to his surprise, Steve allowed him to do more. Loki tasted the innards of Steve's mouth once more, kissing him as he had before, though Steve seemed to participate a bit more this time. Loki couldn't help himself as he pushed his body harder against the other man, aching for more than touches. He wanted to feel the same way he had that first night when their bodies meshed together becoming one. Oh how he craved to have Steve within him, or perhaps switch it around for a change.

Loki was sliding his hand down Steve's pants when something un-expected happened. To Loki's utter surprise, he reached his climax with a soft moan and a hint of shock. Steve stared at him, when Loki quickly retracted his hand and stepped away. He couldn't help but notice how red Loki's face had become or how shocked he looked. He wasn't quite sure what had happened, but he was glad he had control over himself once more.

Maybe he hyped himself up too much, thinking of their night together, or even from imagining all the things he could do to poor Steve, but never in over a thousand years had he climaxed so easily. Well he had actually, but it only usually happened when he was... His thoughts trailed off. He didn't want to think about it. Not only had he lost control of his own body, but he almost lost control of his illusion. Not that he cared about ruining Steve's reputation, he just didn't like losing control in any form. Stepping back from Steve, he about faced and quickly left the meeting room, leaving Steve to himself.

Steve took the nearest chair and sunk into it, trying to put things together in his mind. What he really needed most was a cold shower, but he was afraid to go anywhere at that moment. Just when he thought he could sit and clear his mind, Coulson popped his head into the room, "Everything okay in here?" he asked, glancing around the room.

Steve broke out of his thoughts, looking up from the table. Well, that works, he thought to himself as the tension in his pants seemed to lighten up quite a bit. "Yeah, why?"

Coulson watched him a bit longer, "Seemed like you and Loki were having quite a heated conversation..."

Steve wondered about just what Loki made them see, if in fact he really had put up an illusion, but it's not like he was going to ask, "Something like that."

Coulson stared at him a moment longer, "Are you alright?"

"Fine, I just...need to be alone for a bit," Steve replied.

"Was it something he said?" Coulson pressed.

More like something he did, "I just need to be alone," he repeated.

Coulson tightened his jaw then nodded, "Of course," he said, then left the room.

A steady rain began to fall around the helicarrier followed by thunder. Loki looked up from the book he had been reading and listened.

Tony had just entered the library, not as surprised as he thought he'd be, to find Loki in one of the easy chairs, reading. "Sounds like dear ol' brother is dropping by to check in on you."

Loki smirked, "I'm sure Heimdall alerted him that I've been exposed," he replied, not looking up from the book.

"Who?" Tony asked.

Loki folded his finger between the book's pages, holding his place and looked up at Tony, "A guardian of sorts. He's all seeing, all hearing...kind of like that midgardian children's fable about the fat man that flies around once a year. The one who breaks into houses in the middle of the night, eats your food and leave cheep plastic gifts under a dying tree. Sounds barbaric to me. And the poem isn't much better. He knows when you are sleeping, he knows when you're awake...sounds unsettling if you ask me."

"You're bashing Santa? That's just low," Tony sighed.

"I didn't write your fables," Loki snorted, "don't blame me for that. I just don't understand these." He held up the book he had been reading, "In what lore do vampires sparkle?"

Tony stifled a laugh, "Of all the books in this library, and you're reading Twilight? I should have known you'd find the most flamboyant book here. Why in the world would SHIELD keep a copy of it, is what I want to know."

Loki peeked to the front of the book, "Says it's Property of Phil Coulson," he read aloud.

"No surprise that it belongs to the world's biggest fanboy," Tony snorted.

Loki chuckled, "So what would you suggest?"

"Probably one of the boring ones, like Moby Dick or the Scarlet Letter, Romeo and Juliet, boring stuff, stuff you might like," Tony shrugged.

Coulson entered the room, followed by Thor, "Your brother is here," he announced.

Loki directed his attention to the agent, brow raised, "Thank you, because I had, literally no idea by the sound of thunder a moment ago or the fact that he's standing right next to you."

"Brother," Thor cut in, "I had no idea-"

"Save the act Thor, they're well aware of everything," Loki told him as he rose. He held the book out to Coulson, "I don't understand the fascination with this story."

Coulson frowned, but hesitantly took the book, "Well obviously, you don't have taste," he protested.

"Apparently," Loki replied, sarcasm dripping all over the word.

"The trial was a failure," Thor announced. "I've come to take you back home."

"That's not my home!" Loki snapped.

"Nor is Jötunheim, so where do you plan to go? Midgard obviously doesn't want your presence here, so what else is there for you?" Thor objected.

"Now that's not entirely true," Fury said as he entered. He looked at a shelf of books to his left, scanning through a few titles before pulling one out. "I'd suggest the Great Gatsby," he said, tossing it towards Loki, who caught it easily. "As for him leaving, I already told the others he's staying. At least for a bit longer. The first trial wasn't a complete failure, now that they know who he is, he has to work on earning back their trust. He had it as Lonna, but it will take a lot more to earn it as Loki. Now if he's willing to oblige, then he can stay, but he has to work like the others and be willing to take orders. Steve is your commanding officer, are you going to be okay with that? I saw the argument between the two of you. You have to be willing to drop whatever beef you have with Steve and do as he says, understood?"

Loki struggled to hold back the laugh, "Oh, that...I think we'll be able to get past that."

Fury watched him a bit longer before looking to Thor, "Is that okay with you? He's your charge, is he not?"

Thor glanced between the men in the room, "He is and I'm not sure I should leave him here alone while I'm so far away, but I have my duties on Asgard." He thought for a moment, "Perhaps I can drop in once in a while and check in with things. If anything too bad happens. I'm sure Heimdalll will alert me."

"Are we good to continue part two of this trial, then?" Fury asked.

"Fine by me," Thor responded.

Loki only gave a half shrug as he started to read the summery on the back of the book.

"Carry on," Fury said, then left the library, followed by Coulson.

"What happened to your face?" Thor asked suddenly.

"What happened to yours," Loki retorted.

Tony couldn't help but laugh, "Typical siblings."

The two looked at him for a moment, before returning their attention to each other. "Nothing's wrong with my face," Thor pouted.

"Always the gullible one," Loki chuckled. He looked to Tony for a moment, considering the man before speaking, "Mind if I speak to him alone?"

Tony put back a few books, then left the room without another word. Once he was gone, Loki glanced around the room, "They're everywhere," he grunted, then looked to his brother, "It's like they don't trust the people on this fortress," he smiled.

Thor only looked back at him a bit confused.

"Never mind," Loki shook his head.

"Why'd you clear the room?" Thor asked.

"Huh? Oh well, I was just getting tired of him," he looked back to the book and began reading, "You can head back to Asgard, now."

Thor folded his arms across his chest, "Do you plan on continuing to torment the Captain?" he asked.

Loki rose a finger, finishing the paragraph he was on, before looking up, "Huh?"

"Steve, the Captain. I've noticed you seemed to be focusing in on him." Thor narrowed his eyes in on him, "I know I've said it before brother, but don't pull anything you'll regret," Thor warned. "You're known for your mistakes, I'm only trying to help."

"I'm not stupid," Loki assured him.

"So you keep telling me," Thor frowned, "Just...be careful," he repeated before heading towards the exit of the library.

"Where are you going?" Loki asked.

"Back to Asgard, I have duties to attend to," Thor glanced back at him one last time before leaving.

"Very well," Loki replied.

A/N: I probably could have posted this yesterday, after going over it and feeling that the chapter was too long, but oh well. The following chapter will be mostly the second half of what I planned on posting in this chapter, but decided to cut in two. On a lighter note, I just saw the Dark World for the 2nd time, so many lols and tears of joy. Might get part two out tonight -fingers crossed- but part 2 so far is a bit lacking, I'm hoping to throw some good stuffs in near the end, mayhaps w to make up for the dryness, but we'll see.
Thor: What's with all these shoes?
