"Apparently… shh! Don't open your mouth about it, look he's coming down now." Loki nodded to Tony, and walked out of the picture before Tony caught his eye. He saw his back, gruffly coughing and looked back at Pepper questioningly.

"Good evening! A party of four?"

"Yes! Our other member is currently in the bathroom."

"Wonderful! A seat by the window?"

"What could be better? Thanks, that'd be great." Pepper smiled, and then pulled Tony's ear to her mouth as they fell behind the waitress and Thor. She spoke harshly.

"If you don't check up on him then you will receive the cold shoulder from me for a month and you know damn well I will do all in my power to make you feel bad even if we're not speaking!"

"Fine! Fine! Chill out a little, I'm going Christ Pepper he's just not feeling well!"

"JUST GO!" She was whispering but her voice cut through Tony's eardrums like never before.

Shaking her off he walked in the direction of the bathroom, swinging the door open and saw Loki looking into the sink with one hand keeping a firm grip on the tap. As though he was going to pull it off. He hadn't spotted him, for the bathroom was big, and the two other men present were cautiously avoiding him, seeming wary of Loki's sketchiness. Tony stayed by the door, looking around the small tiled separating wall, and studied Loki as the bathroom went quiet. The men had left and Loki hadn't moved a leg muscle but his arms were tense and his biceps were having little short spasms. After ten minutes, he finally stirred. His head moved in the mirror, slightly to the left like he had just finally come to terms with something. Letting out a sigh his arms relaxed. Meanwhile Tony stood somewhat in awe and in fear behind the wall, every minute that passed the more worried and scared he grew, of how this odd acting stranger would react.

"You can come out of hiding, Stark." Tony jumped, the hair on his arms stood on end.

"How long did you-"

"I noticed you come in you have a somewhat cocky presence you know, but maybe it was wise of you to stay back for just a little bit." He smiled, still looking downwards.

"I feel like this is a somewhat insensitive question… but, what's up?"

Loki frowned, then smiled. He lifted up his left arm and looked into his palm, a small piece of silver seem to slither in it in the lighting, the blue gem shining out.
