Mundane,

Your amusement at my expense suits my would-be puppeteer ill, and you would do well to end this course of action at once. I do not exist to be the punchline to your humorless jokes, nor to submit to whatever fancy strikes you.

Respect is integral to any working relationship. Seeing as you have none of it for a prince, let alone a god, abandon this. Now.

What was that about respect? [ GUY WHO BRAINWASHED HIM. heartwashed. whatever. ]

[worldsonly]

You're hardly the first to face this battle. It's probably going to go about as well for you as it has any of us.

[vdova]

[ She's just going to stand here. And watch.

And wait. ]

[bagofcats]

Only when other means fail, Agent Barton. [ Oh heeeeeeey bro. ] Though I do not recall a lack of it on your part.

[ he made sure of that. ]

[bagofcats]

[ .... You. ]

[vdova]

[ Yes. Hello. The only reason she's not stabbing you in the eye socket right now is because you'd be expecting that. ]

[bagofcats]

Your comparison assumes that I am not greater than those that have come before.

[bagofcats]

[ he underestimated you once - never again. ]

Have you not something to say, woman?

[worldsonly]

So far, not an unreasonable deduction.

[vdova]

[ Smart man. ] What, no antiquated insults this time?

[hotguy]

Not much choice. [ now however the world is full of possibilities. his mind's only going about as far as all the ones loaded in his quiver. ] Not exactly foolproof either.

[ because seriously cured by a good whack on the head? ooh, magical. ]

[bagofcats]

[ well, yes. when he's not throwing the universe's biggest temper tantrum. ]

Would you prefer them? I am ever so good with words, perhaps I could find something that would suffice.

[vdova]

You're not that good with words. I've heard it all before. [ She raises an eyebrow. ]

[bagofcats]

That was the point. [ a man with arrows against a master of magic. how long are you expecting to live, hawkeye? ] But it served its purpose, just as you.

[ the mind gem was a load of bull. he wants a refund on the entire thing. ]

[polyscimajor]

Sorry dude, these guys don't really listen all that much.

[bagofcats]

[ whoever you are, he doesn't like you. ]

Then know that I am a god, not so easily cowed into obedience as mortals. She is weak, and but one. She will fall.

[just_so]

It sounds to me as though you have a rather particular problem.

[bagofcats]

But not from me. [ a grin ] What did your Russian handlers tell you when they first brought you in as a child? I could spin it sweeter for you, or make it bite.

[ontheropes]

...you're a god? What, of bad hair?

[bagofcats]

[ greasy hair. also ignoring that because he does not have time to correct ever false assumption he'd be too busy. ]

Trickery and mischief.

[ontheropes]

[ Bucky's not impressed. ] Sure you are.

[worldsonly]

[ NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN, THEN, EH? ]

Evidence has so far supported the theory that the more amusing your suffering, the less likely you are to be released. Presumably your godhood just makes your whining funnier.

[atwar]

Yet all others exist to be your game pieces, and you are unworthy of respect of any kind.

[bagofcats]

One easily dealt with, in time.

[bagofcats]

I had gathered. Another failing of theirs, but what is one drop of water in an ocean?
