"Loki? What type of name is that?" Tony chuckled, "And Laufey and Asgard? It sounds like something from a sci-fi movie".
Loki glared at Tony, "You humans are truly pathetic. I do not understand why my brother defends such useless creatures".
"Wait…you referred to me as human. What the hell are you then? You look human," Tony studied Loki. The mirror only showed Loki's face and shoulders but from what Tony could see, he appeared to be human.
Loki smirked, "I am a God".
"I'm sorry you're a what?" Tony asked again, disbelief evident in his voice.
"Do you have trouble hearing human? I am a God." Loki replied in a bored voice.
"I summoned a fucking God from another world," Tony muttered to himself, "I never thought I'd say this but maybe I should have listened to Pepper".
"What did you say moral?" Loki questioned.
"That I'm going to bed and when I wake up, the connection should have been broken and you'll disappear," Tony yawned, "Night Boney".
"It's Loki you fool!" the God hissed.
As Tony started walking towards his room, he called out, "Whatever. You look like a skeleton so I shall call you Boney. Not that it matters as I'll never see you again". When Tony was gone, a wicked smile appeared on Loki's face.
"That's what you think foolish moral".
"Good afternoon sir, its 1pm. The weather in New York is 23 degrees with heavily rain showers throughout the day," JARVIS's voice rang throughout the dark room.
Tony slowly raised his head from his pillow and looked around his pitch black bedroom. He sighed in exhaustion, "Schedule JARVIS?".
"Miss Potts will be here in an hour to discuss plans about the Stark Charity Ball," JARVIS replied.
Tony groaned, "Oh crap. The ball. I forgot about that. Not only do I have to attend the boring things, I have to host one". He pulled himself to his feet and continued with his usual morning routine: drink, have a shower, drink some more, have breakfast, drink a bit more, brush his teeth and have a quick drink. Once that was complete, he made his way to the bar/living room area he designed when he had meets. He found that he always needed a drink when he had meetings so why not put a bar next to the living room?
The bar had a stainless steel bench top with a mirror running from one end of the wall to the other and several different shaped glasses hanging overhead. Underneath the bench top, there was a large bar fridge, next to that was several special fridges designed specifically for wine or rum and beside that was another fridge with cheap alcohol Tony serviced to people he didn't like. There was an island opposite the bar and it also had a stainless steel top with several bar stools. In the corner of the room, there was a tall fridge Tony referred to as his 'alcohol fridge'. This was filled was various types of alcohols that he would experiment with when he was creating drinks...or when he wanted something to really knock him out. In the middle of the room was three black leather couches placed around a glass top table and a vase with a few flowers in it (Pepper insisting that it would brighten the place up) rested in the middle.
"Crap," Tony muttered to himself as he looked in his alcohol fridge, "I'm running low". Making a mental note to buy more, he walked over and plopped himself down on one of the black leather couches.
"Morning Tony," Pepper called out as she walked into the room.
"Morning my dear," Tony replied as yawned, "How are you this miserable day?".
Pepper walked over and sat next to him on the couch, "It's not that bad. The rain's stopped for now at least". She placed her briefcase on the glass top table before unzipping it and pulled out several documents.
"For the ball, I thought the theme could be something like masquerade or winter wonderland," Pepper explained as she passed him a piece of paper.
Tony quickly read over the page, "That's great and all but this year I want to do something out there. Something people aren't excepting. These things are boring enough as it is. I want to spice it up a bit so everyone is entertained".
"Okay...how much spice are we talking?" Pepper asked curiously.
"Alice in Wonderland spice," Tony replied.
Pepper stared at him in disbelief, "Alice in Wonderland?".
"No but something as crazy as that. Fire and Ice, Willy Wonka, Saturday Night Fever. Stark Industries needs to be set apart from the rest," Tony explained.
Pepper stared at him for a few more moments before she finally spoke, "I'll see what I can do".
"Good. Was that everything?"
"I just have a couple of other things to discuss with you and then we're done".
"So everything's now sorted?" Tony asked as he stood up and walked over to the bar. Opening one of his wine fridges, his eyes skimmed the wine rack before he decided on one.
"Want a glass of wine from Italy? I hear it's to die for," Tony poured himself a glass.
Pepper looked up and stared at him in disbelief as he started drinking it, "It's only 2:30".
"I know," he replied before finishing off his glass and placed it down on the bench top. Pepper stood up and walked over to him.
"Tony...I'm really concerned about you. Ever since we...well, you know, you haven't been the same. You use to drink every now and then but now your drinking every minute of the day, your isolating yourself, your trying to do things that not only endanger your life but countless others as well. This has gone on long enough. I will not stand by and watch as you destroy yourself. Please Tony! Let me in!" Pepper grabbed both his hands, "Let me help you".
"Haven't you already done enough?" Tony asked, no emotion present in his voice, "Our relationship at this point in time is strictly professional only. Maybe as time goes on we can become close friends again but right now, I'd prefer if we spoke of business only".
Tears filled Pepper's eyes, "Okay...I u-understand".
She released his hands and quickly gathered her belongings, "If that's it, I'll be taking my leave". She ran out of the room without waiting for his reply.
"JARVIS, show me security footage of the front entrance," Tony grabbed a glass and a bottle of rum.
"Right away sir," JARVIS replied. Suddenly, a large transparent screen, showing the entrance of his apartment, appeared in front of Tony. He poured himself some rum and watched as Pepper left the building in tears. Tony sighed. He hated seeing Pepper in tears and he didn't mean to be so cruel to her...but after what she did...he had every reason to be angry and not completely trust her.
"Well...that was interesting," a voice said. Tony's eyes widened and he spat out the alcohol in his mouth. He whipped around and his jaw dropped when he saw Loki in the bar's mirror.
"W-What? How the hell are you still here? The connection should have been broken! According to my calculations, the connection should have only lasted for a maximum of 3 hours," Tony started to slightly panic. He had a God in a mirror. Not the mirror he made the temporary portal with but a completely different mirror.
"You really are dense," Loki taunted, "I used some of more power to keep the portal open. I am a God after all".
Tony refilled his glass with rum, "Now why would you do that? I thought you had no interest in humans".
"Oh trust me, I don't. But I do want to know everything about humans," Loki disappeared from the mirror and appeared in the vase sitting on the table, "After all, when I become king of your planet, I'll need to know how to keep you morals in line".
"How did you do that? I thought you could only materialise in mirrors?" Tony demanded, "Wait keep morals in line? Oh great! You're trying to take over earth as well. That's just fantastic".
Loki ignored most of what Tony said and only answered his first two questions, "Any object that reflects light I can appear in".
Tony stared at him for a few minutes before he scoffed the rest of the rum down, "Of course. You can move into any freaking object that reflects light...and out of all the aliens I chose to summon, I summon a God who wants to rule the earth. Great job Tony".
"Don't feel so bad moral. Tell you what, since I'm such a merciful lord, if you help me take over this planet, I'll let you be my pet," Loki vanished and materialised in the glass Tony was holding, "Do we have a deal?".
"No way Boney," Tony threw the glass towards the wall and it shattered when it made contact.
"Well," Loki appeared in the bar mirror, "That was uncalled for".
Tony groaned in annoyance as he started pacing, "You're like a cold. You think you're over it and it comes right back full force".
"A cold you say?" Loki asked in amusement.
Tony froze for a moment before he turned to face Loki, "You said that way too happily...which leads me to believe I got something right".
"Or you were incredibility wrong that I found it amusing," Loki retorted.
"...that too," Tony admitted before he tossed himself down onto a one of the couches, "So...if you can go into any object that reflects light, why are you still in my house? Why not the windows of a skyscraper where everyone can see you?".
Loki disappeared and appeared in the glass table top, "I wonder why indeed".
"I'll ask again, why are you still here?" Tony demanded.
A smirk appeared on Loki's face, "I want to make your life miserable".
Okay, so chapter two is done. First off, a big thank you to the four people who reviewed; TheWritingMonster, I am psycowriter, HarleyJaneJacksonWinchester and SceneNeko. Tony and Loki would be so proud of you
Also, a big thank you to all 45 people who have added this story to their alert list and to the 13 people who added it to their favourites. I feel so honored so thank you so much.
Four important notices! First is I'm trying to spread the Ironfrost love so at the end of each chapter, I will be posting what video/picture inspired me when I wrote the chapter. All videos will be on YouTube unless stated otherwise. These people put a lot of work into their videos/pictures so let's spread more of the Ironfrost love. In saying that, I would love it if people suggested videos/pictures of Ironfrost to inspire me – already have way too much inspiration but I would love more.
Second, as I discovered, I could upload a cover for this story. I will be honest, I suck at drawing/creating images so if anyone is interested in doing one, you're more than welcome to. Any banners/fan-art done (I have had a couple of people PM me this) will be mentioned in the next chapter I upload and a link on my page.
Third, Tony is drinking…a lot. I know he doesn't drink that much but it's important for the story!
Lastly, I need ideas people. I don't want to get straight into the Avengers but I am rapidly running out of ideas of what to do with Tony and Loki. Any ideas/suggestions/thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Once again, a big thank you to all the readers and I look forward to seeing you again.
