Sixty Three
We agreed to tell everyone about our relationship on Friday and then escape to Malibu to oversee repairs and avoid the coming wrath of the rest of the team. It had taken some planning and guts to put together what we were about to do. I still feared Thor more than anyone.
"Ready?" Loki said taking my hand. I was wearing the Ironman suit and was holding the gauntlet in my other hand.
"Let's get it over with." I breathed. Loki shimmered into Lana, and we went down to the conference room where the girls and Bruce had gathered everyone for us. We walked in, the large table flanked by our friends and teammates. Capsicle sat at the other end of the room at the head of the table. Flanking him were Sam Wilson, and Thor. Thor did not look too happy to be involved with this conversation. He sat with his arms crossed over his armor and Mjölnir sitting on the table in front of him. He was the only person in armor, aside from myself.
Jane sat on his side, a hand over his, trying to keep him calm. Natasha sat on Sam's left. Bruce sat next to her. Pepper and Rhodey sat next to Jane. Clint stood in a corner to watch the goings on.
I smiled softly to Bruce and the three ladies that helped us out. Lana held my hand tightly.
"What is this all about, Stark?" Steve finally spoke.
"We have an announcement." I began. "As most of you know, Lana and I have been dating for about a year."
"So what, you're getting married?" Clint laughed from the corner.
"No, it's time to reveal some truths." Lana said. She stood beside me, lifted my hand to her lips and shimmered back into my Loki in his full armor. I smiled at the gesture. We were surrounded by gasps and shouts from the few that knew, trying to to calm the others down. There seemed to be a scramble for weapons.
Mjölnir connected with the side of my helmet before returning to Thor.
"Jane told me what happened the other day. You violated my brother." Thor spoke sternly.
"Not brother." I spoke rolling my eyes. My face shield not fitting properly now.
"Thor, I seduced him." Loki gripped me tighter. I looked around at the shocked faces. Natasha was trying to hold back Steve. Pepper and Jane were trying to hold back Thor, unsuccessfully. Rhodey was yelling at Pepper for knowing and not saying anything. Barton had approached Loki and started accusing him of enslaving my mind. Before Thor picked me up to throw me, I saw the familiar flash of green in Bruce's eyes. I kicked Thor in gut to get away. I didn't need Hulk treating my lover like a rag doll, again.
Using the repulsers, I was able to get away from Thor's grasp and stand between Barton and Loki.
"Loki, Bruce is about to let the other guy out. Get us out of here!" I shouted over the arguing. He touched my shoulder and teleported us to the other side of the room.
"Please accept that we are in love, we are consenting adults and we are still mourning the loss of our unborn child. When you're all done acting like children and can speak to us like civilized people, we'll return." Loki announced to our pain in the ass colleagues. Before he teleported us, I saw Mjölnir and Cap's shield headed for us.
