Stranger
"I'm Tony Stark, duh." The mortal says, "Who the hell are you?"
"I am Loki of Asgard." Loki says in reply.
"And who's the kid?" Tony asks bluntly, turning to look at Sigyn with eyes that seem unable to decide whether they wish to leer or worry.
"Sigyn is no child." Says Loki, as he speaks her name the girl's head turns to look up at him once more. She speaks once again using the same strange language that she used before and Tony narrows his eyebrows, attempting to place it.
"What is she saying?" Tony wonders, unable to stop himself from asking the question. Loki looks up at the playboy genius and wearily rolls his emerald green eyes.
"She speaks the Olde Tongues." Loki replies as if Tony should have been able to guess this fact immediately, "She understands and speaks the most ancient languages known to the Realms. The Dverger do not leave the mines of Svartálfaheimr frequently, so change has not been a frequenter of their society."
"Dost thou knowest thy words maketh no sense . . . eth?" Tony asks sarcastically, he crosses his arms over his chest. "How did you get here anyway? This is the top floor of a building that is still a work-in-progress. There is no way past the security unless you have some kind of authorization."
"We needed sanctuary and so I traveled through the Shadowed Lands with Sigyn asleep in my arms until we finally reached the closest of the Nine." Loki sneers, "The Realm in question just happens to be Midgard."
Sigyn's head shoots up at attention at the mention of the Realm's title.
"We are in Mannheimr?"
"Midgard." Loki corrects the girl, telling her the more widely used name of the Realm.
"Miðgarðr." She tests the word on her tongue.
"Yes." Loki assures her before turning back to the mortal man who calls himself 'Tony Stark'.
"We need sanctuary." Loki sighs, his eyes plead with the mortal man. "I do not know how long it will take before the darkness of Thanos follows us here. Your Realm is in grave danger, and your only hope to save yourselves lies in us."
Tony looks at the tall man all dressed in green and gold for a moment before pulling out his Stark Phone. He presses a button and suddenly a holographic image of Pepper Potts appears before him, coming from the device in his hand.
"What is it Tony?" Pepper asks him with a sigh, "Can this wait for just a minute? I have a lot of paperwork to finish."
"Pepper. I need you to contact the cyclops and his red-headed backup dancer." He says seriously before looking up at Loki with a frown, "The world may be in just the kind of danger he was worried about."
