I saw "Iron man" since I posted the last chapter - so many references make sense to me now!

I still haven't gotten any prompts, so I am prompting myself. You know... hearding about random plot bunnies... as ever, it is open to prompts, everything from situational prompts and summaries to one word suggestions. Surprise me! :-)

This story takes place in three different storylines, set in the past, the present, and the future.

I still haven't watched the Avengers, and I certainly don't own it! (But I HAVE watched Iron man. Just the first)

Past

Pepper peeked into the room Tony had devoted solely to Loki in his New York home, Stark Tower. The frost giant, god or whatever he could be said to be now, had been released from the worst of the restraints after they had made a second attempt to force some nutrition into him, and was now lying on a sofa, looking rather disgusted.

They had given up on feeding him after he had bitten yet another agent, since Pepper had managed to get some water into him, though Tony had scolded her for trying - as if he didn't do stupid, reckless stuff on an almost hourly basis himself.

Suddenly, the fallen god looked up, and Pepper held up the plate of pizza slices she had brought for him. "You know" she said conversationally, putting the plate down on the table, where he could easily reach for them "if you ate something, they wouldn't try to make you". "Is that so?" He seemed far from convinced, and Pepper thought for a moment. "Well, I cannot speak for S.H.I.E.L.D, but Tony sure won't bother. Try them" she pointed to the plate "they taste much better, I promise" she smiled at the man before her, and then turned and walked out of the well-guarded room just as Tony shouted "Pepper!".
