Tony smirked up at Loki as the god spoke. “Yeah, you are shorter than them, yet I still feel like I need a box to stand on to kiss you sometimes.” He joked. It was an exaggeration of course, but Tony did often rely on Loki coming down to meet him for affection, especially in his Jotun form. “And everyone else you’re related to is taller than you, maybe the height will skip a generation and they’ll be taller than you too. You can join me in being shorter than your kids.” Of course, he already was, with both Sleipnir and Jor’s Asgardian forms standing taller than him, not to mention their natural forms. Rhodey chuckled at the topic of conversation, shaking his head. “I still remember the first time you met the director of the air force, he must have thought you were seven feet tall beforehand.” He joked, the genius grinning at the memory, sharing the surprised expression on the director’s face with Loki. “It’s all about how you carry yourself. Pretend you’re a giant and people see you as larger than life.” He said confidently, puffing out his chest a bit in pride. Pepper rolled her eyes at the comment. “You’re ego is already larger than life on it’s own, no help needed.” She quipped. “I’m surprised Loki can fit in the room with it.” She added, though her words were sharp, they were still fond.

Rhodey chuckled as he took the chair next to Loki. “Oh, you have no idea.” Tony followed them, frowning. “You are going to blow this way out of proportion, aren’t you?” he asked. Rhodey just smirked at him. “You do that yourself. Besides, think of this as payback for embarrassing me in front of my trainees all these years.” He shot back. Tony just rolled his eyes, shaking his head. Before he could sit though, Pepper touched his arm and the two moved away a bit to talk. Rhodey didn’t seem to notice in the slightest as he launched into his tale, starting with the shock of the military and government when Tony actually had taken over the company. Everyone had thought he was too happy being a figurehead living off the money and not touching the business. And right as he stepped out into the spotlight, he pulled Rhodey right along with him. What had resulted was a bit of a panic from the higher-ups as Tony was widely seen as a loose cannon that could threaten existing deals and over the course of a week, the genius had met with every single high ranking general and military administration member in the country, always with Rhodey in tow, and always surprising, confusing, and infuriating those he spoke with.

Rhodey smiled faintly at Loki’s words, nodding slightly. “In some ways yeah. I mean, I was a good pilot from the start, but the fact that I was one of the only soldiers that Tony paid any attention to helped.” He said slowly. “It’s also come back to bite me at times too, like right after Tony announced he was Iron Man, and all the times he randomly showed up where I was posted and got my unit in trouble.” Grinning to himself, he crossed his arms and leaned back in his chair. “Being around Tony is always a wild ride I suppose, good and bad. You never really know what you’re gonna get and when. You just gotta be one of those people that can enjoy such unpredictability.” He continued, looking to Loki. “I used to think it was something he’d grow out of, but it’s only gotten crazier.” He said lightly. “And now you and the kids are added. All of you certainly keep everyone else entertained.”

Rhodey nodded as Loki spoke. His smile faded ever so slightly at the mention of Tony’s childhood. Out of everyone, other than possibly Loki, he probably knew the most about Tony’s childhood and family, having met him when he was still struggling with it all. He knew how his early life had unbalanced the man and always would. “Definitely thrive. Tony has done more with the hand he was dealt than I think anyone else ever could, and he’s never just let things happen to him.” Hearing Loki talk about the family Tony was building with him, Rhodey looked back to the god, grinning. “You know, I wasn’t even surprised when Tony said he’d hooked up with the god of chaos. It sounded exactly like him.” He said lightly. “Hell, it sounds more like him than if he’d gotten with literally anyone else.” Propping his chin in his hand, he looked Loki over. “I don’t think anyone else in the universe could handle him or understand him.” He tilted his head, growing a little more serious then. “You want him to be with you forever don’t you? Or for however your race lives?”

Rhodey grinned. “I may not know you very well, but if you’re with Tony and he loves you this much, that means you’re more than smart enough to figure out how to get what you want. I’m sure it’ll take some time, but it’ll happen.” The reassurance that Loki would never hurt Tony again had the pilot nodding. “I don’t expect you not to hurt him. You two are…” he paused, considering his words but deciding to switch what he was going to say. “Couples fight Loki, and couples hurt each other. You two will hurt each other again, hopefully not as badly next time, but it’ll happen. I just want the two of you to remember your feelings and move past that.” Shaking his head, he relaxed a little. “So…I’ve heard mothers sometimes know what their kids will look like, they dream of them. Got any ideas in that head of yours yet? Hopefully not as ugly as Tony.” He chuckled.
