[godoftricks]

[ There is a loud crash, as two gods of Asgard slam into the fountain in the midst of a flare of brilliant blue light. As the light fades, they stand. One is Thor, a face that should be familiar to many of the people here.

The other is his prisoner, a pale man with dark hair and pale green eyes. His hands had been bound, and his face had been encased in what could only be described as a muzzle. He raises himself from the water. As he does so, both the shackles and muzzle splash into the fountain, and he finds himself free again.

Free, but certainly not where he had expected to be.

Disbelieving, he stands, and his eyes flash open. Irritated, he steps out of the fountain. He raises suspicious, accusing eyes to Thor. ]

This is not Asgard.

Nor is it Migard. What is the meaning of this? Where have you taken us, Odinson?

Well, brother, we have returned to - [ Thor pauses, as if remembering a fond memory. ] ... The City?

[ The look on his face indicates more than a if you run away, so help me Loki I'm calling in the Avengers again- or just tell everyone on him. Then a slow smile, because slowly but surely, the one thing he is slowly starting to remember is: ]

Sif is going to be delighted to see you again, Loki.

[ Loki stares around the area, already seeking a means of escape. Thor's words should have returned his attention to the present, but his eyes fall on the small devices at their feet. Loki lifts the nearest one, turns it over in his hand, and registers his own face upon the screen. It's broadcasting. ]

I had imagined our next meeting would be under different circumstances. It would appear that fate has had other ideas.

[ His lips curve into a knife-like smile. Odin's justice will simply have to wait. ]



[[ ooc: Loki is green and Thor is red.

Also, Setine's still on emergency hiatus as of this post, but because they're at the same canon point we wanted to bring these two in together. She asks that we just assume Thor is around again from now on! ]]

[debrief]

[debrief]

[ And this just after he's learnt that Serrure is Loki's reincarnation from another universe. ]

[debrief]

[ Two Lokis in one place. ]

[debrief]

[ And this one clearly the one who stabbed Phil.

This day has just taken such a turn for the worse, and it wasn't all that great to begin with.

And Loki's free. ]

DONE

[debrief]

I had imagined there would be no next meeting. [ Dry, because that's his best defence, to look as though nothing's affecting him. ]

[yourbestguysgun]

[ Bucky knows Thor quite well, he does generally help children climb him on the regular. This new guy, well -. ]

I've seen some weird things around here, but the whole muzzle thing's setting a new record.

[ private ]

[debrief]

Be careful when talking to him.

[godoftricks]

Oh, I don't suppose that will be a problem now.

Rest assured, it was not my idea.

[doeswhathewants]

[Just... the longest pause.... ever]

Lovely- ah- gag, matches your eyes. But I believe you forgot it in the fountain. Looks personal, I'd not want you lose it. [Light and slightly taunting as he takes stock of this odd situation.]

1/2

[godoftricks]

[ That is impossible.

It cannot be. And yet, there it appears, a face that is the copy of his own staring at him from this device and speaking to him.

How?

What manner of place--? ]

2/2 PERMAVID

[godoftricks]

[ Composure. ]

It is a gift I do not hesitate to leave behind. In my position, perhaps you would do the same.

You look familiar.

[Video]

[alwaysangered]

[Bruce's face fills the camera. His jaw tight. This was the last thing they needed.

Loki should be safely restrained in Asgard.

He's not going to say anything. But he's watching.]

[Video]

[godoftricks]

[ Oh, if only it were so easy. So you are here, Mr Banner. Loki makes note of that.

Then his eyes harden, despite the ease of his smile. ]

I should have thought a warmer greeting would be in order, Dr. Banner.

[video:]

[pigtailsbutterflyknives]

This is...beyond fucked up.

[That's Mindy for "I am so confused."]

[video:]

[godoftricks]

[ At this moment in time, Loki tends to agree.

Regardless, he knows nothing of this mortal. He glances at her face. ]

You were expecting someone else, I presume.

[joiedeviolet]

[As a leader, Kate knows there are sometimes when you back up, run, and then come back after rethinking your strategy.

This is one of those times where you just run. One curse tiny Loki is bad. Two grown Lokis in the same area is just beyond levels of bad that there are no words for. She's gone. Time to warn the boys.]

[godoftricks]

[ And without even a word of greeting. Does he inspire so much fear?

Dear child. How that pleases him. ]

1/forever because that's how i roll

[asofwar]

[WHAT IS SHE SUPPOSED TO FEEL TODAY]

permavid until it changes if it does idk

[asofwar]

[Thor, for starters, is back. Changed - time has passed for him, as she imagined it would continue to do - and in the company of - ]

( a u d i o )

[dropkick]

[ Presumably he didn't want the shackles, but Arthur has seen only one other person with a facial apparatus like that and the person he's thinking of requires it. But that doesn't appear to be the case here...still...his voice comes across mild, testing the waters so to speak, ]

You dropped your mask.

[ Something he's well aware the newcomer couldn't have missed, but well 'hi' seems even less appropriate. He recognizes the other man at least - Thor, or the Guy with All the Puppies....hm. ]

[godoftricks]

[ The inherent helpfulness of mortals will never be surpassed. ]

So I have. I require it no longer.

[ruthless_hunter]

Didn't one of you used to be smaller?

[godoftricks]

You speak as though we are acquainted.

voice;

[bythreadalone]

[ Oh, geez. It's Loki. ]

Well, today could've started off better.

voice;

[godoftricks]

I assume it is not my sympathy you seek.

[ Video ]

[bettercallit]

[ This is Clint's unimpressed face because this is the last thing he expected to see here. ]

Loki.

[ Video ]

[godoftricks]

[ Ah, another familiar face. This one earns an acute smile, to mirror the one Clint had given him before he entered the portal with Thor. He had been muzzled then, unable to respond. ]

Agent Barton. And to think, I left you behind such a short time ago.

Private

[worldofourown]

[ Now there's a familiar face. ]

...Serrure?

No. That isn't right.

Another Loki. Interesting.

Private

[godoftricks]

[ Hmm.

He'll mimic the privacy settings. ]

Those are my feelings as well.

Tell me, why do you call him Serrure?

action

[redheadrescue]

[For once fate is on Pepper's side. That bastard Loki shows up in the City on the one day she has the power to do something about it. As soon as she sees his broadcast, she flies straight to the fountain and lands, hand outstretched and repulsor charged to fire. When she speaks, her mechanized voice is full of anger and determination.]

Thor, stand aside. I have a few things I'd like to say to your brother

action

[godoftricks]

[ A female Iron Man?

He doesn't need to deal with this now. He still shows the effects of the battle with the Avengers, and this timing is unfortunate.

Or perhaps it is not. He needs a distraction, after all, a way of escaping Thor's clutches...

His body starts to glow, his clothes taking on a radiant golden sheen while his full armour asserts itself. ]

No doubt there are many I would say to you. Primarily that he- [ a glance at Thor ] -is not my brother, and you are not well enough known for me to count you an enemy.

Allow me to remedy that.

[Video]

[tangledintower]

[Well, this is weird. Serrure got big! Oh, curses. So nuts.

...she is a bit worried about the gag, though.]

Are you all right, Serrure? You got big. Weird curse.

[Video]

[godoftricks]

[ His patience has been tried already. Cold green eyes take in this girl, bearing neither kindness nor recognition. ]

That is not my name. You seek my counterpart.

I am Loki, of Asgard. At present, I require no other name.

[killerthighs]

[So this is why Clint tried so hard to keep her off the Network today.

Natasha seethes in her video feed.]

video

[godoftricks]

[ Ah, what a delightful, familiar face.

It's rather vexing, of course, that so many of them are here. Regardless, Loki will choose to see it as an opportunity. The revenge he seeks will come that much easier.

He can afford to smile. ]

Agent Romanoff. How wonderful it is to see you again. Do words fail you?
