Here we go- an updated chapter2
You can't hold me off forever
With your simple tricks and nonsense.
Your clumsy and random useless gestures
Against the struggle.
Lyrics- Nerf Herder
Kurt Wagner wasn't a popular kid. He creeped people out. Probably something to do with the fact that he was blue. This pretty much made him the perfect friend for one Loki Laufeyson, a boy who knew the trials and tribulations of being blue all too well. Of course, Loki could change his appearance, Kurt could not.
"So Tony defended you ven his friend vas picking on you?"
"He wasn't picking on me, but yes. I found it rather odd myself, but Stark is an unusual one."
"So is zat Clint."
"Well it seems that Stark's friends are the only ones not too scared of me to voice their opinions. Everyone else seems to think I'd put them in hospital if I tried. And rightly so, the only reason I let his friends get away with it is purely curiosity. It intrigues me to see Stark's reactions. I don't see the meaning behind it. We are hardly friends."
"Have more faith in people Loki. Maybe he simply vanted to do ze right thing."
"You rely to much on the faith of others Kurt."
"Maybe. But faith can save your life as effectively as anger. Vich is more pleasant do you think?"
Loki sighed in defeat. "I'm hungry."
Kurt smiled with his victory as they walked to the canteen.
"Erik, you're so cynical."
"Raven, you know what the humans are like. A war is coming, and we better be ready. It's time for those others to pick their sides."
"I know you are right, I just don't want you to be. And it would also be nice if you talked about something else every once in a while, Charles won't sit with us anymore because of your obsession."
"Obsession?"
"It is all you talk about."
"She's right Erik." Hank sat down between Erik and Raven.
"Shut up Bozo."
"Not you too. I thought I was 'The beast'."
"Yeah right buddy."
"You hear what happened today with Stark?"
"I hear everything."
"And?"
"Well I wouldn't have done it. Loki's not one of us anyway. He's not a mutant."
"You're so heartless. But why do you think Tony did it?"
"Stupidity."
"Stupidity?"
"Sure. Only a stupid person would defend Loki."
"I would. He's our friend."
"You are also stupid then." With his last comment, Erik and Raven got to their feet, Eric putting an arm around her waist and leading her away. Hank sat there alone for the next few minutes it took for Loki and Kurt to get there.
"Vat happened to ze others?"
"Oh, Erik will be avoiding me." Loki said indifferently, "I drew on his helmet this morning. He will be plotting my murder right now. Don't worry, he'll forgive me by tomorrow."
"Loki, you really need to stop winding him up."
"I can't help it Hank, it's in my nature." Loki winked as he slid in opposite Kurt and stole the untouched pudding cup Erik had left behind.
