Please reblog if you wouldn't mind me throwing my muse into your askbox/fanmail.

Exhaustion was a ten-tonne weight pressing down on his shoulders, hooks pulled into his eyes, making them raw and stinging with tiredness. Tony marked off the 78th hour of consecutive sleeplessness mentally, limbs weak with it.

He took himself out of the lab and onto the streets, hoping that the night’s chill air would calm and wake him for a short walk to the all-night coffeeshop on the corner. New York had its benefits, even if nine times out of ten looking down from Stark Tower made his throat seize with panic. Those benefits extended to coffee whenever he wanted it, without having to make it himself. To cold coat-and-scarf weather, pink-nosed and rosy-cheeked even though the soft red wool wrapped around his mouth.

The coffee shop brought welcome warmth, allowing Tony to pull the scarf away with fingerless gloved hands, sidling up to the counter and waiting for a moment for Giuseppe, the owner, to appear from out back. Giuseppe kept the same kind of hours Tony did, it seemed. He wasn’t sure the man even knew who he was, but he was happy enough to make Tony his usual flat back, piping hot in the biggest mug he had. Sleep could go screw itself.

Thanking the old man and retrieving his coffee, the engineer slid into a booth and warmed himself for a moment or two before pulling a tablet out of the deep pockets of his winter coat and playing with it on the desk. Aha, thence the reason for the gloves’ fingerlessness. He slid down into the cracked leather and tucked his chin against his chest, getting comfortable.

That’s reassuring.

I’m glad your mind automatically went to whatever stash you have outside of the lab. Your maturity level is astounding.

I have to protect your innocent sensibilities, Cap.

Those were destroyed some time ago, I think, between you and Barton. And you probably should have put child locks on the television box.

Hey, it’s not my job to shelteryou. You’ve gotta learn somewhere.

l”I grew up with stories..” he began, a voice so cold and bitter it was alien even for Loki. “Stories of the ruthless monsters that inhabited Jotunheim.. that we were to loathe them until we reached Valhalla. Even then as a child I knew I was different, they wanted nothing to do with me like they did with him.” the liesmith growled the word like it was arsenic in his mouth.

“It made perfect sense when I found out who I was… a monster.. let alone the bastard son to a Jotun throne. Forgive my bitterness towards the subject but you were not raised to loathe something you’d become.” Loki snarled a final time, crimson eyes blinking to hold back the burning tears.

“I did what I had to to be worthy for them, to be noticed at the least; punishment or reward I got neither. I was a shadow no one bothered to notice whilst the son of Odin was present.” He sighed and covered his eyes with a palm and muffled a pathetic breath to calm himself.

“If I can not be the prince they wanted me to be then I might as well live to the title of who I am and was meant to be; The monster parents warn their children of…” Loki let out a humorless chuckle and in the darkness tears stained blue cheeks.

“I succeeded… I demolished an entire city of a mortal world and I was nothing more than a puppet.. imagine the effect of true power Anthony; I could do it,” he was whispering but the tone was so dark it was almost as if another side to Loptr was speaking; the darker side.

“That is rough.” Tony conceded, sucking at his teeth with an almost anguished expression. If that wasn’t a punch in the gut, Tony didn’t know what was. Yeah, it was different, a lot different, and now he had no idea what to say. What could he say? There was clearly a hell of a lot of angst there.

“What I don’t get— C’mere.” He paused in what he was about to say, closing the gap between them and tugging the distraught prince close into a somewhat awkward hug. There there. Tony was terrible at comforting people, but it’d have to do, right?

“What I don’t get is why you have to follow either destiny.” The query was quiet. “So they thought you would grow up to be a monster— Why prove them right? Isn’t it a bigger fuck-you to just be who you want to be? Or just.. happy with yourself?” It was a touch hypocritical, but Tony’s fuck you came in the part where he became a better man than his father had been.

“Shit, can’t you just be Loki? Power really ain’t all they say it is.” He sucked his teeth with an audible noise, working his arm around the other man’s waist. There there.

“Mmyep, the hate’s pretty mutual. Ol’ Justin still sends HQ these amateur prototypes—we’re usually better off leaving them in their packaging. Last thing he sent was this stun gun pen piece of shit. Pulled out of the box and it basically like, immediately discharged—I don’t know why I’m telling you this. Yeah, just ask Colonel Rhodes.”

“‘cause they’re godawful and more dangerous to the guy behind the gun than they are to anyone in front of it? Seriously, just.. Call in bomb disposal, shit’s ridiculous.” He shrugged helplessly. “I’ll let you know what I find. Pretty sure it’s not much to worry about, but it’s always fun to get out of the house.”

“Fine, no faces.” He concedes, examining the man shrewdly, as though he was a particularly interesting piece of technology. “I’m not surprised you’ve heard of me. That doesn’t tell me who you are.”

James watched him carefully, especially when it was clear that he was being examined by the other, his posture firm and rigid. “Why should it matter who i am? That’s not important.”

Dark eyes turned from the soldier back to the desk in front of Tony. He remained silent for a long moment, before smirking. “Why, do you have something to hide, mister tall dark and mysterious?” He teased, canting his head to one side. “It matters ‘cause I’m contemplating whether to call security or not.”

I’m not afraid of you, Bruce. Not even afraid of the other guy, or did you forget the part where you actually, legitimately saved my life when I— when I was in danger of becoming canned soup falling into the atmosphere?

Maybe you should be afraid of me Tony. He might have saved your life but I can’t say what he’ll do next time he gets out. I’m a bomb with a dodgy trigger. No one should be near me.

And yet, I trust you. I don’t believe in just anyone, doc, but I do believe in you. You’re a good dude.

“Huh. Maybe you have one of those faces.” The inventor shrugged, folding his arms across his chest.
“Tony Stark. Inventor— You know what, my reputation usually precedes me. What do you want with me?”

“I highly doubt it,” He replied, his brow creased as he stared cautiously at the other, making sure to keep his distance. “I’ve heard of you.Can’t say I delve too much into it.”

“Fine, no faces.” He concedes, examining the man shrewdly, as though he was a particularly interesting piece of technology. “I’m not surprised you’ve heard of me. That doesn’t tell me who you are.”

metalandcoconut replied to your post: (Break my muses heart) The other Avengers are deathly afraid of you. They only pretend to be okay around you because they’re afraid you’ll hurt them. To them, you aren’t a friend, you’re a monster. You’re the embodiment of everything they were afraid if as children, and they will never be able to think of you as a friend.

Bull. Say it where I can see you, Grayface, so I know where to fire.

Relax, Tony. They were only stating what I’ve been thinking ever since the Avengers first assembled.

I’m not afraid of you, Bruce. Not even afraid of the other guy, or did you forget the part where you actually, legitimately saved my life when I— when I was in danger of becoming canned soup falling into the atmosphere?

“You said I could come here whenever I wanted, remember? And I know you didn’t do it, cause I did it. I need your help fixing something.”

“Did I? Was I drunk? Never mind— What’d you break this time?

Don’t look like that, Christ, you’re breaking my little heart, Cap. Can’t be bad as Thor. Just— Hand it over, I’ll look at whatever it is.”

“Pretty sure that answers the ‘who are you’ and ‘how’d you get in here’. Why I’m here - because I fucking want to be, why else?”

“Uh huh.” Tony looked unimpressed. But then, he usually was.

“I’m gonna sound five here— Why do you want to be here?”

Thomas opened his mouth to respond to Tony’s comment but when Dummy approached him his face lit up with delight. He let the bot inspect him before he bent slightly at the waist and petted Dummy’s ‘head’, “You know me don’t you?” He whispered to the robot, “You’re clever little Dummy.” he smiled faintly, tapping each of the three pincers lovingly. He stood upright once again and turned to his creator, keeping one hand on Dummy as if he were petting an animal “My name is Thomas. Did I tell you that?”

Watching Dummy chirp happily at the other man, Tony was happy enough to let him stay. At times, he treated the little robot like a guard dog. If Dummy liked you, you were usually on the level. “I.. don’t think so?” He hazarded at the man’s question. If he had told Tony, Tony had already forgotten. “Well. If you’re not SHIELD, Thomas, there’s gotta be some reason for you bein’ here.”
