Things…so many different things XD
This was MEANT to be my Goodbye post before my holiday but I forgot about it D: <333 So have it now :P
- Tony: *Watches as Loki falls.*
- : *The world stops, everything's silent, and all he can hear is the thud Loki's body makes as it hits the ground.*
- Tony: *He stands frozen, every bone rigid, and every vein running cold through his body.*
- :
- Tony: .... No.
- : *The ground shakes just as the spell is broken. Amora already long gone.*
- Clint: *He gives a shout of triumph, still under the impression that Loki had been the enemy in this.*
- Tony: *With his suit already rendered useless, he pulls himself out of it's open hatch and scrambles over the rubble still covering central park.*
- :
- Tony: *His eyes are on Loki's still body as he runs, amidst the chaos.* ... God please, no -
- Steve: *He tries to stop him running into the destruction.* ... Tony, what are you - ?!
- Tony: *He shoves him back as hard as he can, running over the burnt grass.*
- Clint: *Into the intercomm.* Stark! What the hell are you trying to fucki -
- Tony: *He turns it off as he runs and shouts.* ... Loki? ... Loki!
- Loki: *His face is ashen, his hands limp and his eyes shut.*
- Tony: *He falls to his knees when he reaches him.* ... Loki? Loki can you hear me, can you - *His hands run over Loki's face.* ... Loki? ... Loki, please answer me, please just - God /please/ ...
- Thor: *He lands beside Tony, throwing his hammer down and running over.*
- Tony: *Uncaring of just who he's speaking to.* ... He's not breathing. He's not - *His voice sounds funny.* ... He's ... Loki -
- Thor: *Quietly.* ... Let me.
- Tony: *He ignores him and surges forward suddenly, cupping Loki's face with both hands and placing his lips over his quickly, breathing into his mouth.*
- :
- Tony: *He repeats the action, getting frantic. Whispers to himself:* ... Come on, come on -
- Thor: *He stares at Tony, but doesn't move to stop him.*
- Steve: *Staring in shock, his shield held loosely in one hand.* .... Clint .... Is he /kiss -
- Clint: *He narrows his eyes, staring at Tony as well, and he begins to walk toward them.*
- Tony: *Still applying mouth-to-mouth.* ... Come /on/ Loki, you fucking -
- Thor: *Still not quite understanding.* ... Anthony ... You cannot save every one you se -
- Tony: *He voice cracks as he shouts, snapping his head up to glare at Thor.* Shut the hell up!
- Thor: *He looks taken aback.*
- Tony: *He turns back and suddenly punches Loki's chest, hard.* ... /Come on/ -
- Thor: Anthony, please -
- Tony: *He punches Loki again.* ... Come on! ...... /Please/!
- Thor: *Slowly, he begins to understand.*
- Tony: .... Just -
- Thor: *He catches Tony's next punch, stopping him and pushing it back when Tony struggles.*
- Tony: *He wrenches it back with a choked sob, glaring at Thor.*
- Thor: *Gently.* .... No.
- Tony: *He stares up at him.*
- Thor: .... I am sorry.
- Tony: *He jaw tightens.* ... You give up that easily do you.
- Thor: *He frowns.* ... No, I -
- Tony: *Angrily* ... He's your /brother/.
- Thor: *Just as angrily.* I know when one is dead, and when you -
- Tony: *He ignores him and turns back, leaning closer to Loki until their foreheads touch and he breathes into his mouth again. Faster now.*
- Clint: *From behind him.* ... Tony ... ?
- Thor: *He slowly places a hand on Tony's back.*
- Tony: *He ignores them both.*
- Thor: *He looks at Clint over Tony.*
- Clint: ... He .... ?
- Thor: *He nods.*
- :
- Tony: *His lips against Loki's.* ... Come on Loki .... Pop up again, please, just pop up again .... *Whispers* ... Like you always do. ... Please.
- Thor: *He lowers his eyes.*
- Tony: *His voice cracks, and he lays his head on Loki's chest.* ... Don't do this to me. Not now.
- Clint: *Takes a step forward.*
- Thor: *He takes his hand off of Tony to stop him.*
- Clint:
- Tony: *A single tear slides down his face.* ...... Don't go.
- :
- Loki: *He continues to lie still, deathly pale.*
- : *Nothing happens still.*
- Tony: *His breath hitches as he realises Thor is right.*
- Loki:
- Tony: *He lets out a single sob, covering his mouth with a hand to hide the rest but they keep coming, and he buries his face in Loki's chest; sobbing into it while his hands curl in Loki's clothes.* .... No ....
- Clint: *He takes a step back, giving him space.*
- Thor: *He stands back as well, looking at Loki solemnly.*
- Tony: *He continues to cry, wrapping his arms around Loki's limp head and sobbing into his neck.*
- Clint:
- : *Bystanders begin to step forward as well, watching Tony aptly.*
- : *Reporters turn their cameras on .... until Natasha's stingers send them running.*
- Steve: *He stands to one side, looking lost and solemn.*
- Tony: *He can still feel Thor's hand still on his back, slowly sliding up to stroke his hair, but he ignores it.*
- :
- Tony: *Whispering and sobbing to himself into Loki's neck.* ... Don't go. Please, please, don't go ..... *The hand on his head continues to stroke through his hair.*
- Thor: *He's just about to turn away, his eyes still cast down, when - *
- Loki: *His voice raspy.* .... Where am I meant ... to have gone ... ?
- Thor: *He turns back fully, staring in awe but when he takes a step forward -*
- Clint: *He stops him.*
- Tony: *He sucks in a startled gasp, snapping his head up from Loki's neck, his face wet.*
- Loki: *His hand is still in Tony's hair.*
- Tony: *Breathes.* ... You ...
- Loki: *He smiles at him slowly, wincing and then frowns.* ... Were you crying?
- Tony: I - *He clears his throat, still unable to stop the tears.* I was - god -
- Loki: ... You were then. *The hand in Tony's hair slides down to cup Tony's face.* ..... For me?
- Tony: *Half laughs, half sobs.* ... You're worth crying over, Loki ...
- Loki:
- Tony:
- Thor: *He so badly wants to say something.*
- Loki: *Shifting, still wincing as well.* ... Did I stop it? .... The spell?
- Tony: *Suddenly aware that he has no idea about anything else other than what had happened to Loki.* ... I don't -
- Clint: *No longer confused in the slightest.* ... Yeah. You did.
- Loki: *He looks at him, surprised.* .... I did. Good.
- Thor: .... It took from you what it took from Amora to begin it. But when it became too much afterward, she stopped, and it almost /destroyed/ you when you -
- Loki: *Frowns.* ..... Amora. Where did she -
- Tony: *He surges forward and kisses Loki. Hard.*
- Loki: *He blinks*
- Tony: *He presses into him harder.*
- Clint: *He looks away awkwardly.*
- Loki: *He kisses Tony back, sitting up and pulling them closer.*
- Tony: *He laughs when Loki twists them both around, wrapping his arms around his neck.*
- : *Cameras being to go off all around them all.*
- Tony: *Breathless when they pull away.* ... I think we're on the evening news.
- Loki: *Shrugs* ... Entertainment.
- Tony: *Glares.* /Entertain/ - ?! ... You almost /died/ you son of a -
- Loki: I /meant/ ... *kissing Tony again.* ... This.
The tale goes on…
During the exhausting chase after Dummy the Avengers’s alarm goes off, calling to duty. When Iron Man fails to answer any calls, Fury and his trusty assassins come looking for him…
Sequel to: x
I don't know much about how jotenheimr works, so apologies in advance but here you go anyway :) It's a bit plotty and long, and I've not re-read it because it just kinda spun out of my hands and I didn't even mean to write it.
- : A sequel to http://frostironistheperfectotp.tumblr.com/post/39471106996/a-request-from-my-sister-she-showed-me-the-song-that and inspired by the same film.
- Clint: Wait, am I hearing this right? There are people dying down here, and you want to /wait/?
- Tony: ..... Yes. I do.
- Clint: Does "dying" mean anything to you?
- Tony: Yeah. It's what climbing that wall will cause half these people to start doing. Most of them can't even walk properly and you want them to climb a steep wall??
- Steve: What else can we do? We don't get enough food, or water. The disease down here spreads like fire and every day there are /children/ being born into this hell! And you want us to just sit and wait for a rescue that's not going to come....?!
- Clint: There's a way out, Stark. And yeah, it's dangerous, but I'm taking it. That cell we were dumped in before, is nothing compared to this. I can't stay here anymore. I can't.
- Tony: Then you'll die.
- Clint: We'll die anyway! Don't you get it?! They've thrown us in here /to/ die! These people, who have done /nothing/ expect fight for what they believe in, have been here for years and no one's gotten them out! We don't live that long, Tony. We're mortal. What makes you think someone'll come in time for u---
- Tony: Maybe no one came because there /isn't/ anyone /out/ there to! If you haven't noticed, most of them are with their families, and those alone don't have one. I have that advantage!
- Clint: They're not---
- Tony: Because /they're/ not married to someone on the outside. Someone who can actually /do/ something! ...... and I am.
- :
- Steve: .... /Married/.....?
- Clint: *Flat.* ..... Please tell me you're not talking about Loki.
- Tony: You're aware we have a son together.
- Steve: Well, yeah, but you /never/ said you were---
- Clint: *He groans.* ..... It doesn't matter! It doesn't matter who's married and who's fucking, or who's singing kumbaya around the campfire!
- Tony:
- Clint: Look, Tony..... Just because you're married, doesn't mean he'll come. I don't even think he /can/.
- Tony: He'll come.
- Clint: Oh, get /real/, Tony! If he was coming for you, he would have already done so /before/ we were thrown in here!
- Tony: He thought he could talk to Odin before he---
- Clint: Fat lot of good that did!
- Tony: I'd like to see you do better!
- Steve: I think that's enou---
- Clint: I'm leaving, Tony. I don't care if you're following, but don't you dare try and stop anyone else from coming as well. Because if he's coming, like you think, he'll come for just you and no one else. I'm not dying down here.
- Tony: *He narrows his eyes at him.* ..... You really don't think much of him do you.
- Clint: And that's justified.
- Tony: I'm not letting people risk their lives over that stupid wall, when I /know/ Loki wouldn't aban---
- Clint: Tony we're TRAPPED!! There is NO WAY OUT! And /no one/. Is! COMING!
- : *A silence follows.*
- Tony: *He stares at Clint, the man's shouts still echoing around the canyon they're trapped in.*
- Clint: *He's breathing heavily, and immediately looks guilty for what he's said.*
- :
- Steve: *He opens his mouth to calm them both before they explode. But then.....* ....... what the heck....?
- : *In the distance, over the hills around the canyon, they can hear the faint sound of something pounding. Hard, strong beats; and whatever it is, it makes the ground shake around them all, stirring the people to crowd at the mouth of the canyon, and stare up at it.*
- A young child beside Steve: ..... what is it Captain?
- Steve: *Staring as the rocks above them quiver in time with the pounding. His mouth is open.* ...... I--I don't know, son. But it doesn't sound small. *He turns, noticing all the people standing by them.* Alright, I think we should back up. Back up everybody, come on! Away from the mouth. Whatever's on it's way may or may not be friendly, and either way, these rocks are not stable. So move back, please.
- Tony: *Following Steve's lead and pushing people back. He murmurs at Clint.* Unstable rocks. And /you/ wanted to climb it.
- Clint: *Hotly.* What choice did we have? Other than your precious Loki coming on a white hors---
- : *Above them, the pounding gets closer until it eventually merges into the sound of marching. Heavy footsteps shaking the ground.*
- Tony: *He murmurs in awe when he sees them.* .... Oh. My. ...... God.
- Clint: *He lets out a strange laugh. A look of complete disbelief on his face.*
- : *With the marching, there is a chant rising up with them, and it takes them a moment to realize what it is.*
- Clint: ..... Tony? Tell me I'm being crazy, or did your kid...... teach about 200 Frost Giants the macarena?
- Tony: *Sounding dazed.* You're not crazy.
- Clint: *He backs up a little, his eyes widening as he takes it all in.* ...... And....... they're singing it like it's some kind of battle chant. ....... Is that part real as well?
- Tony: *He nods his head, still dazed. He stares up at the Giants as they march over the hills, with their faces set and firm. And beside the leader, walks Loki. Dressed full in his armor, and holding Lucas on his shoulders.*
- Clint: Hey Lucas! *He waves an arm, and Steve spins around from where he was comforting the crowd of people.* You are one /hell/ of a kid, did you know that?
- Tony: *He grins wider than anything when he sees Lucas wave back, and presses his lips together.* ...... Oh, Lucas. When I said don't hide yourself..... *He meets Loki's gaze and they share a smile.*
- Loki: *He sets Lucas down from his shoulders, and turns to the leader. Whatever he says to him, is repeated by the Giant to the rest of them.*
- : *Morphing their iced hands into club-like shards, they drive them into the ground in unison. Building a path way out.*
- Steve: Are those---
- Tony: Yes.
- Steve: But that's an act of war. Isn't it? I mean, this is Asgard.
- Tony: I don't think Loki cares.
- Clint: Answers the question on why he took so long, too. *He looks at Tony, putting a hand on his shoulder.* Sorry. For doubting.
- Tony: *He smiles at him, and shrugs.* It's fine. Now I can say I told you so.
- Lucas: Dad!
- Tony: *He looks up.*
- Lucas: I listened to you!
- Tony: I know! *He laughs.* I can see that!
- Lucas: It was father's idea! But /I/ got them to come when they wouldn't listen to him!
- Tony: *He glances at Loki, a smile still on his face.* I /bet/ you did, Lucas!
- Lucas: *He nods excitedly.* Yeah, and I-- *He steps on a pile of earth that crumbles under his foot and he falls.*
- Tony: Oh---!
- Lucas: *A Giant casually grabs him by the collar and hauls him back onto the ground.*
- Loki: *He takes a tight hold of Lucas's hand then, to make sure it doesn't happen again, and thanks the Giant.*
- Giant: *He only bows his head, and locks eyes with Tony who nods back.*
- Steve: You know, from what Thor said.....
- Clint: They don't seem that bad.
- Tony: *He watches Loki chide Lucas softly for not being careful, before hugging him tight, and smiles softly.* No. .... they're not.
- : *The Giants continue to tear at the Ground until enough mud has slid over the steep wall at the mouth. With that done, they're all about to climb out easily.*
- Tony: *As soon as he's out, he's almost bowled over by a hug from Lucas.*
- The leader Giant: A token.
- Tony: *He looks up from hugging Lucas to see him holding out a sack.*
- The leader Giant: Of our acceptance.
- Steve: *He clambers out after Tony, freezing when he sees the Giant so close.*
- Loki: *He's standing to one side, and nods when Tony looks at him.*
- Tony: *Slowly, he takes the sack, and smiles at the Giant.* Thank you. All of you.
- The leader Giant: *He tilts his head in acknowledgement before pounding a fist over his chest and giving Lucas what might be a smile.* ..... You have a fierce heart, little one. But not the stature to hold it. I order you, as steward over the throne, to train and build those muscles.
- Lucas: Yes sir.
- The leader Giant: No grandchild of the King, will be weak. Will they?
- Lucas: *He smiles.* No, sir.
- : *As the Giant's leave, Loki stands in front of Tony awkwardly.*
- Tony: *He raises an eyebrow.* ..... Going to hug me? ....... Kiss?
- Loki:
- Tony: ....... Be glad I'm alive?
- Loki: *He snorts lightly.* That sack contains the crown worn by the spouse of the King. The King of Jotenheimr.
- Tony: *He blinks, looking down at it.*
- Loki: I refused the post. But they wished to give it to you anyhow. Seeing as the current steward has refused to marry.
- Tony: *He opens the sack, wincing a little at the frost around it's edges, and daintily lifts a wreath of leaves. It looks like it's made of ice, but it's crystal. Pure crystal.* ..... For keeps?
- Loki: If you wish.
- Tony: They don't know me. Why would they want to give me---
- Loki: Because I am Loki. I have a reputation with them and Asgard and I would never choose a mortal lightly. They knew this. And after seeing me seek them out for help. They could see how you've changed me.
- :
- Tony: *He puts the crown back in the sack.* They called Lucas the grandson of Laufey. You told them?
- Loki:
- Tony: They could have killed you.
- Loki: So be it. I knew they would not harm Lucas, for he's a child. The risk to my life would have been worth it, because---
- Tony: *He kisses him hard on the lips, holding him tight.*
- Lucas: *He covers his eyes.* Ew.....
- Steve: *He laughs, patting him on the head.*
- Clint: *Clambering up after them as the last one out.* ...... yeah, kid. /Ew/.
A request from my sister. She showed me the song that goes with this, and the clip from the movie it's from, and begged me to write this. So here you are :) P.S: The song that inspired this makes me bawl, so it's included in the chat if you wanna listen ^_^
- Lucas: But we can't just leave them in there! They'll /die/!
- Loki: *Walking away.* There's nothing I can do.
- Lucas: *He runs to catch up.* But dad's down there!
- Loki: *He stops, making Lucas run into him.* ...... There is. /Nothing/. I can do.
- Lucas:
- Loki: Now come on.
- Lucas: ..... *He glares at Loki's back.* It's /your/ fault in the /first/ place.....
- Loki: *He blinks sharply before spinning around, pinning Lucas with a glare of his own. Their voices echo in the dungeon halls.* And how can I have prevented this, Lucas? Hm? Do you think I can predict what the Allfather thinks? Do you think I know his mind?!
- Tony: *From the ditch he'd been thrown in, he looks up startled at the sound of them shouting.*
- Lucas: *He takes a step back, his eyes wide.* But---
- Loki: Do you know /my/ mind? Can you ever know what I'm thinking, as /your/ father?
- Lucas: *He whimpers, looking down.* You must do /something/......!
- Loki: I /can't/.
- Lucas: ..... But he'll /die/...!!
- Loki: *He shouts, echoing even louder.* There is /nothing/! .... I. Can DO!
- Lucas: *He begins to hyperventilate, his eyes widening even further, and tears form in them.*
- Tony: *He stands, wincing at the bruises the guard's had given him, and calls up to them both.* ..... Hey...! What's going on up there?
- Lucas: *Still breathing fast.* I---
- Loki: *He looks annoyed that Tony heard.* Nothing.
- Tony: *He frowns, clambering up the rocks surrounding the ditch, and waking Steve up as he moves.* ..... Lucas? You okay up there.....?
- Lucas: *He looks away from Loki when he gives him a warning look.* .... /No/. I'm no---
- Loki: He's fine. He's just as worried for you, as I am. *He takes Lucas's hand.* ..... I'm taking him to bed.
- Lucas: *He jerks his hand away.* I don't /want/ to leave! He's /starving/ down there, father!
- Steve: *He jerks awake fully now, and nudges Clint. The only other person in the same cell.*
- Tony: Lucas---
- Loki: *He grabs Lucas' arm.* Bed. /Now/.
- Tony: *He calls up, louder.* ..... Loki....! Why don't you just go? You know, alone?
- Loki: Why? So you can "talk" to him, yourself? He should learn to list---
- Tony: *Forcefully.* Go.
- Loki: *He freezes, chewing the inside of his cheek.*
- Steve: *He winces, knowing how Loki reacts to people ordering him, and then shares a look of complete surprise with Clint when they hear Loki's footsteps as he walks away. He murmurs to himself.* ....... Well I'll be damned.....
- Tony: ....... Lucas....?
- Lucas: *He sniffs, rubbing his eyes.* Yeah?
- Tony: Can you come to the edge? I want to see you.
- Lucas: *Slowly, he looks at the dungeon door where Loki is waiting for him. Then he looks away and walks toward the metal bars in the ground. He goes to his knees and then lays on his stomach, looking through the gaps, down at the ditch below, where Tony is chained to the wall in the darkness.*
- Tony: *He pulls at his chains, climbing over the rocks as far as he can without them pulling him back, and smiles up at Lucas.* ..... There you are. You okay?
- Lucas: Mm-hm.
- Tony: Okay. .... now I want you to calm down. Can you do that?
- Lucas: *He nods, staring at Tony. His breathing had already slowed from before, and it echoes in the quiet as he copies Tony's slow breaths.*
- Steve: *He sits up a little, watching Tony.*
- Tony: ..... *Very slowly.* ..... there is /no/. Need to worry..... Okay, Lucas?
- Lucas: But---
- Tony: Shh..... Your father will work things out, okay? He'll think of something, it's what he does. And if not, then.... you'll still have him. You'll always have him Lucas.
- Lucas: I don't want him! I want /you/! I want you to come out!
- Tony: ..... don't shout. Don't shout. You'll just upset yourself, and then the guard's will come. And your father will get in trouble.
- Lucas: I don't /care/.
- Tony: Don't talk like that. He's done so much for you, you wouldn't even /believe/ half of it. And /I/ care if he gets in trouble. I care very much. And so should you.
- Lucas: But it's his fault you're down there.....!
- Tony: *He laughs softly.* No, it's not kiddo. He's tried his hardest to show the King we're not a threat. But after the debacle in the hall, I don't think his /majesty/ is in a listening mood. Even if it was his people that started it.
- Lucas: But if father hadn't shown his true form, then no one would have accused me and you---
- Tony: Lucas, no! You /never/ talk like that.
- Lucas:
- Tony: You don't hide who you are.... /Ever/. I don't care if this is a disney message, if this is one of the last things I'm going to say to you..... then it's going to be useful. You don't hide yourself. Okay?
- Lucas: But the court said---
- Tony: It's doesn't matter what the court said. It doesn't matter what anyone says, okay? You may be different. You may have things they don't have, and don't want, but you're you. And I love you. Okay? *He sings, jokingly.* .... /Just/ the way you are....
- Lucas: *He smiles, reaching through the bars for Tony's hand.*
- Tony: *He climbs a little further, the fact that his hands are chained together hindering him slightly, but he makes it near the top, and touches Lucas's hand in return.* ..... It'll be okay. You'll see. If your father doesn't think of something, someone'll get Thor. And Fury is not just going to sit back and watch this happen. We'll get out of here. It'll be okay......
- Lucas: *He holds Tony's hand to his face, whimpering as he holds back tears.* ..... Will you sing?
- Tony: *He smiles again, but it doesn't reach his eyes.* You know I can't.
- Lucas: That's not true. You do it all the time, when it's just us two.
- Tony: But it's not just us two, right now, is it?
- Lucas: ..... please?
- Tony: *His chained hands reach through the bars and he cards his fingers through Lucas' hair.* ..... alright. Close your eyes, kiddo. ...... close 'em tight.
- Lucas: *His eyes slide shut, and he presses his face against the bars, where Tony can't quite reach.*
- Loki: *He still stands, leaning against the door. Then, at the sound of Tony's voice, hesitantly singing, he blinks and turns around to face them again. The anger he'd had before had already faded, and he shuts his eyes as he listens.*
- :
- : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrcGC_IPcoY ------ [for you to listen to, if you'd like to know what Tony sings.]
- : *Song.*
- :
- Lucas: *His face relaxes as Tony sings softly around him, not finishing the song and he lets go when Lucas slumps.*
- Tony: *He whispers.* ..... Loki?
- Loki: *He was already walking toward them, and crouches to lift Lucas into his arms.* ..... I have him.
- Tony: *He nods, stepping back.* ...... Take care of him.
- Loki: You will be out to do so yourself, as well. I will not let you die in some hole.
- Tony: Then don't. Think of something. Because I don't want to die, "in some hole", either.
- Lucas: *He stirs with a moan.*
- Loki: *He holds him tighter, standing.* ....... the King will not listen to me. Not now I have shown the realm my true form. Revealed a secret he's kept for so long.
- Tony: Then don't try to make him. ..... you're smart Loki. You have a way of seeing opportunities, where everyone just disregards the little details. Find us a way out. ..... and take care of our son.
- Loki: *He stares at Tony, and then turns away to walk out. His footsteps are heavy as they echo.*
- Tony: *He slides down the wall, back to the ground.* ..... Take care of him.
- :
- Tony:
- Steve:
- Clint: ...... So.
- Tony: *He looks up, smiling a little at the nudge Steve gives Clint for speaking.*
- Clint: You sing to your son?
- Tony: ..... Have kids of your own one day, Barton. And maybe you'll understand why.
Tony: “We don’t do this dating thing often… but when we do…”
Loki: “Agent Barton has the most… fun”
Tony: “I was busy, end of story” *snorts*
Loki and Hawkeye have a very “special” im-gonna-kill-you-friendship . no casualities so far…
Loki’s Escape! This is what happens when my husband buys me Lego for Christmas :)
And what a “hawkward” Christmas it was.
“Captain, have you seen Barton?”
“Yes Sir. He said he had to go give you a mission report, but that was a few hours ago.”
“Well, I’ve been in my office this whole time.”
“Huh. Then I don’t know why he was wearing a winter coat.”
“…..oh. Thanks for your help. I know exactly where he is.”
“Uh, okay?”
