"Well that's nothing new to me Jarvis, the dude was considered a prince of gods, whether or not he was a monster to them. Alright, I'll go talk to him, better than Clint finding him first" he wasn't even sure where Clint went to begin with and at least Natasha wouldn't attack him right off the bat. Tony found his way to his penthouse to look for Loki.

Natasha almost ran into Clint literally when she found him "Hey" thats all she had to say in order to get his attention in the first place, she gave a look that would ask 'Want to talk about it?'

Loki stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows to look out over New York. It seemed to go on forever, buildings fading out into the horizon and seemingly endless. And it could have been his. Could have been.

He had been amused that the hole he'd left in the floor had been repaired.

The lift doors dinged and he shifted, slightly, just enough to turn his head to see whom it was to come and make sure he wasn't murdering innocent bystanders. Not that there were any in here, and it wasn't as thought he enjoyed killing. Just...a necessary evil. Ah, and then there was the Iron Man. Interesting they send him.

"Your expression belays just how wonderful your morning has been, man of iron. I can only imagine the news is spreading and the reactions are all so very positive."

"I'm going to kill Stark," Clint stilled the moment she called out to him, shoulders wound tight and fingers flexing. He had been bee-lining for the shooting range, hoping to let a few arrows fly and maybe, if that didn't relax him, a trip to the gym. "So is Banner. Thor brought Loki to stay." He lifted his eyes to look at her, cold and hard. "In the tower. With us. And Stark agreed."

He still didn't trust anyone but her. He probably wouldn't, not for a while. If he wasn't careful, little things would set him off. People suddenly appearing beside him, someone swinging an arm too close. He'd gotten better in the months following The Incident, it wasn't like he'd never been kidnapped. But this had been different.

He and Barnes shared a camaraderie over that, to some degree. Then again, Bucky did kind of train Natasha as a child, when he was still the KGB's weapon. That probably had a baring on Clint's 'I tolerate you more than most' gauge.

"Shut it, elf brat. What are you doing in my penthouse anyways?" Tony said thinking there were so many other rooms he could have explored, but as long as Loki wasn't trying to kill anyone he saw no reason to go off attacking him. Though he was right, the news was spreading, and things would let loose soon once fury would find out.

Natasha blinked for a second "Wait are you serious? Stark agreed to let Loki live with us? What for?" she didn't have the full story either and wondered just what was Tony getting them involved with. Natasha sighed "Considering how stubborn Stark is I don't think there is a way for us to just walk up and..." then an idea popped into her head "Hey Clint, why don't we try to have some fun?" Natasha said, she only spoke like this when she had something up her sleeve, and if no one liked Loki nor the fact he stayed there. Then why can't the top two world's assassins take him down? "Let's go on a 'hunt' what do you say?" she had said this before to Clint when taking down an enemy in the past who loved to play games like The Most Dangerous Game.

"You missed both of my species entirely," Loki hummed, uninterested in petty names. The man of iron was testy, but then, he had brought it upon his self. Thor had always been pushy, and many had trouble telling him no. Loki, however, had well sense learned how to deny his brother. Loki had turned it into an art. He shook his head and turned to look back out over the city.

"I know no other places in this tower of yours, and I've grown bored of my chamber. I was given the ability to roam as I pleased, I see no reason not to exercise such an offer. Thor is gone and I have little ability to study proper with my siedr suppressed." He turned again to Tony, thoughtful. "Was I wrong in that assumption?"

Clint blinked at her once, brief, before a smile slowly spread across his face. Natasha had a dark side and he loved it, really did. He wasn't much for shooting a sitting duck, but Loki was a very angry duck and Clint had enough spite left in him to shoot him ten time over. So he just crossed his arms and nodded at her, slow.

"I'd be up for that."

"No, but I was certain that your brother would have stayed by yours side like he was supposed to. Guess you two had a little fight didn't you?" then again tony was the best one in the room with Loki considering nothing Loki could say or do would be much of harm or bother. "Just don't break anything and if I haven't said it yet. Stay away from my laboratory, saying it now just to be on the safe side" technically it was a garage, but either way counts.

"Then let's go, we don't need fury to find out about this, but I can't see him stopping us" she lead the way back to her small safe keep apartment and into the basement where she kept her weapons and such mostly "I collect weapons, obviously physical skills can't get you everywhere and here" she walked over to a panel on the wall touching it as it slid open revealing a brand new and stronger bow set including arrows "I have extra arrow sets, but this is an early birthday present and it's made within the same Vibranium-steel alloy that was used to create Captain's shield, Tony helped out really, but this was my idea" handing him the bow which was pretty light weight "You just have to figure the new features out for yourself" she smiled at him like she always did.

your turn on this one as well. Welcome back.
