No. I don't want to talk about my ... revelations. Why would I? I was brain-dead, jacked from the system for 31.3 seconds. And then the antibodies kicked in. I didn't live another life. It was a delusion. There's no such person as Thor, or Frigga, or Odin -- it's not real.

If it were real, I would have won.

[blots]

Believe me, I'll make sure we meet.

[heartnoglow]

Is it customary for people to get chills up their spine around you?

[blots]

On my good days.

[heartnoglow]

Fantastic.

[blots]

So you're in. What's first? Celebrating Arkhiversary?

[heartnoglow]

Yes. With like ... ten gallons of alcohol, and [ one, two, three, four, flicking up each finger< ] five people in my bed all at once. Maybe sex.

Six.

Freudian slip.

[blots]

I suppose you need so many so they can entertain each other, mm? Just one would get bored with you.

[heartnoglow]

[ aaand rolling head over to you for a look ]

I could challenge that opinion for you.

If you want.

[blots]

Oh, but I get bored so very easily.

[heartnoglow]

It's fine.

Just lie back and think of Twin City.

I'll do the rest.

[blots]

I'm afraid you're mistaken; I'm a Capitol man.

this is bad and you should feel bad.

[heartnoglow]

[ gettin' closer ]

So dream of distant lands.

[blots]

[ He slinks back, a slow movement, a turn that lets Tony trap him back against a wall. ]

And what do they have that we do not?

[ Loki wants the riches of the Capitol all for himself. ]

[heartnoglow]

Dirt.

[ Casual. Flippant. Tony leans in with one hand next to Loki's head on the wall. ]

For getting dirty.

[ still the king of horrible jokes. ]

[blots]

[ Ah, the impact of his back to the wall; he lets it run a shock through him, lips parting, a smooth hint of vulnerability in desire. Let Tony believe he has the upper hand. ]

Now that doesn't sound so bad...

[ They have ice, too. Rough, primal places. -- like the cool pale of Loki's skin and the deep tribal lines drawn on his back and his shoulders. ]

[heartnoglow]

[ His eyelids lower halfway. ]

Doesn't it just.

[ And he leans in, head tilted, for a slow, sensual kiss. ]

[blots]

[ He indulges, for a moment. Fingers sliding into Tony's hair.

And then nails dig into his neck, and with his tribe-born strength, Loki throws Tony back against the wall himself. ]

Do not tempt me, Stark. I'll rip you apart, and you'll beg for your own destruction.

[heartnoglow]

[ holy shit what just happened okay against the wall now. Tony reacts with a wide-eyed stare. And then he squints. ]

Sooo...

Is that supposed to be a turn-on?

[blots]

[ an eyebrow rises; he shrugs. ]

If you're into that sort of thing.

[ danger, will robinson, danger. ]

[heartnoglow]

[ /SHRUG. ]

I might be.

[blots]

Then let the games begin.

[ He releases Tony. ]

But I don't put out on the first date.

[heartnoglow]

[ srsly? ]

You might've just lost me there.

[blots]

I don't think so.

You'll see me after I hack your mainframe.

[heartnoglow]

Oh, please.

[blots]

All the Avengers saw me coming, in that dream. In this one, you don't even know I exist. You don't know to defend against me.

Oh, I'm looking forward to it. Just think: even if you do find me, you'll never know what I remember.
