Tony finally gave up on concentrating at the moment as Loki talked. Sitting back fully, he didn’t say anything or let his emotions show too much, but the talk of taking Loki down clearly still unsettled him. Smiling when Loki talked about how compatible they were, he reached out for the god again, taking his hand and bringing it to his lips to kiss. Keeping a Loki’s hand in his, Tony looked to Rhodey. “Rhodey….you honestly don’t have to worry about us. What’s between us….it’s preventing a lot of bad things…. From both of us…” he said slowly. He knew Loki probably would be going down a bad road without him, one Thanos was likely to snatch him from, and Tony wasn’t sure he would’ve survived very long, he might have even begun to cause problems because of his own distraction. “And I know I haven’t always made the best decisions. But you have trusted me in many things before…..trust me again Rhodey.” He said softly. Rhodey watched Tony as he moved. Even if Tony was known to sleep around and enjoy physical relationships, he’d rarely sought out affection before, and his continued affection with Loki just made it more and more clear that this was not only what Tony wanted, but possibly what he needed. When Tony spoke up again, Rhodey sighed. Looking back to Loki, he finally sat back, letting down his guard some. “I suppose I should welcome you to the family now then.” He said softly, causing Tony to smile happily and squeeze Loki’s hand, containing himself from scooping Loki into his lap.

“Of course sir.” JARVIS replied quickly, already contacting Bruce. As Loki summoned the jammer, JARVIS sent DUMMY over to help, the robot giving a loud whistle, his actions seeming to show a pleasure in working for Loki. JARVIS recorded the data as asked and had DUMMY show Loki how the machine could be switched between settings. The AI remained silent as Loki worked, used to observing work until needed, but with the next orders, he spoke again. “I can do that. But if I may, I would advise you wait for Dr. Banner to be present. Particularly if you wish to keep this from Mr. Stark. I have already notified him and he should be in the lab momentarily…….but if I may ask sir, why do this? The secrecy and context of your conversations today suggest that you are modifying the jammer to injure yourself…..if Mr. Stark should find out, he will not be pleased….and I haven’t observed you doing anything to upset Mr. Stark directly yet.”

JARVIS listened to Loki silently and the silence stretched for another moment after he finished as JARVIS actually ran situation data and formulated his response. “That does seem like a reasonable plan. And as my primary function is to assist and protect Mr. Stark in any way that I may, I cannot argue that these plans shouldn’t be put in place…however, I feel compelled to ask that you examine these situations and plans at length before you fully implement any of them. You and everyone else close to him operate as if Mr. Stark can figure out a way to move passed anything….and there was a time when that was true sir….but not anymore. If you had not come and begun this relationship….Mr. Stark would not have made it to the end of the year, and he knew that as well, he has just hidden that from everyone…..as much as you need to not be the cause of pain for him. He needs you to be there to continue.” He said carefully. “Dr. Banner is outside now I will send him in….he is very concerned.” He announced right after. He wasn’t supposed to have revealed that, but Tony had made him smarter that even he recognized sometimes, and he was just as tricky as his creator in getting around rules and orders.
Only seconds later, Bruce walked in, looking a little alarmed. “Loki? What’s wrong? JARVIS had me on standby, and then he calls me down here saying that there was concern for your health…did one of Tony’s experiments backfire? I keep telling him to not put people near his experimental things.”
