Shoichi
The green alien rolled her eyes, "Get a room, you two." And plopped onto the nearest seat, which was the seat nearest to the mischievous god.
Tony spluttered, "Me? With him? Surely I have better taste than that. Like Pepper. Yup, Pepper is good." He ranted.
Gomora rolled her eyes, she didn't want to deal with them right now; not after she had somehow been raised from the dead. Now that she thinks about it, she would very much liked to stay dead. The fact that said Necromancer was a kid did not help. In fact, it increased her wish of staying dead.
But the kid pointed out that technically, she was dead and still is. Her soul is technically still in the soul stone, just that he had managed to fix her body and linked her soul from said stone to said body.
How he had done that, she doesn't even want to know.
Are earthlings all that crazy?
Then again, she is crazy for loving an earthling.
Gamora slightly groaned in annoyance, throwing back her head as she groaned, which caught the attention of the occupants in the room.
Tony raises his brows. "Any dilemma which you need to spit out?" He asks half in concern and half in curiosity.
"Just peachy, like you earthlings say." Gamora said. "As peachy as a dead person could be." She mummers under her breath in annoyance.
However, due to the room being quite echoey, she was heard by all occupants in the room.
"Oh, so resurrection from the dead." Loki says as he crosses his arms. "Being pulled from the your eternal sleep of peace and quiet and the warm embrace of death unwillingly."
Gamora raises her eyebrow in askance, "Seems like you have experience in that field." She sarcastically says.
"Well, yes. Unfortunately so." Loki scrunches his eyebrows in annoyance. "And now I'm back in the same world my bumbling fool of a brother is in."
Gamora looks at Loki in understanding. "Well, that makes the two of us. Though, I must say that usually, it's those fools which we are fond of." Gamora says in a reminiscent manner, in which she herself was unaware.
Loki looks at her in silent shock, "You fell for a fool?" He asks, somehow insulted at that thought.
Gamora shrugs.
"Wait, wait, wait. Just wait for a second. Are you telling me, that Byakuran had revived you two!?" Tony exclaims in shock. "I mean, no offence to the lady, but him?"
"Er... Mr. Stark. Wha- what exactly am I doing here? I've got an appointment with MJ later in the evening and it's already 3pm." Peter asks hesitantly.
"Wait a second underoos." Tony replies to Peter and continues. "I mean like. Why him? Of all people."
Shoichi hesitantly raises his hands from his seat beside Peter. "Ahh, good. We finally got someone who knows." Tony signals for Shoichi to continue.
Shoichi fidgets about for a while before saying, "He... he likes interesting things. Chaos is his favourite." Shoichi looks at Loki with a complicated gaze. "The god of mischief and chaos fits the bill perfectly."
Tony opens his mouth as if he was going to speak, but then closed it again. He then walked up to the wall behind him and placed his forehead on it, and took a deep breath.
Gamora rolled her eyes, "You earthlings are soo weird."
Shoichi awkwardly laughs as he looks away from her.
"You know what." Tony suddenly says while casually changing the topic after his little mental breakdown. "I think, little Shoichi here has some explaining to do." He says as he went back to his cushion and held the back of the cushion, body leaning forward towards Shoichi's seat.
How Tony came to the conclusion, only he knows.
"Ah?" Shoichi says stunned.
"Well, amongst all the reincarnators, I heard that you were well verse in the art of Byakuran." Tony magnanimously explains. "Also, there is the fact that he is courting you. So, that's that."
Shoichi was baffled. "Courting me?"
"Oh, you know. A peck in the cheeks at the entrance of the bathroom in the morning from who-knows-where he teleported from, hugging you and forcing you to sleep before you ran to get some work done, the few times you had hickeys on the back of your neck-" Tony list before he got cut of by Shoichi.
"Ahhhhhh! Stop!" Shoichi says as he ran to try to cover Tony's mouth.
"Mmhmhmnmm." Tony continues despite the fact that Shoichi's hand prevented anyone from making out what he was saying.
Gamora went up to pull back Shoichi, causing him to fall on her lap. "Well, go on. I'm interested in whatever materials there is on that albino who got me into this situation."
"Count me in." Loki chimes in.
Tony, who was about to gladly divulge everything he had on Byakuran, immediately shuts up. "Yeah, no. You're on your own reindeer games. As for you shehulk, you'd be able to get the information by asking Jarvis when you reach your room." Tony then mummers in exasperation, "Which of course, I had to host."
"He did alleviate your PTSD though. You now barely get any nightmares right? And that is more than what medication and any of your therapists could do." Shoichi absentmindedly pointed out.
Tony looks at Shoichi, eyes shining in curiosity, "Right, I've been meaning to ask. How does he do that!?"
Shoichi stares at Tony in the eyes, "Have you even read the report I made on properties of flames?"
"Properties? Oh that! So?" Tony asks, still confused.
"Do you know what flames does Byakuran has?" Shoichi asks with an incredulous look. As if asking how had he lived this long without knowing what it means to have Byakuran as his sky.
Then again. Byakuran would rather to have them fumble around just for fun.
Irie sighs, "Byakuran is a sky. The harmony factor of the sky flames can naturally calm their elements. Since you and his had somehow formed a bond, his flames are connected to you 24/7. It works like rain flames on the elements under him, but also not."
Tony looks at Shoichi in confusion.
Shoichi scrunches his brows and tries to look for another explanation, "Well, like the infinity stones that Thanos is collecting. Say you try to grab them with your bare hands. You'd die after that right? Or even if you didn't, your body would have irreversible damages." He tries. "But if someone like Byakuran who has high amounts of pure sky flames, then he most likely can use the infinity stones whenever and however he likes since his powers are in harmony with the source of the infinity stones."
Tony nods his head, finally understanding what was happening to himself.
But there was a problem.
"How would you know that Byakuran holding all the stones would not kill him?" Tony asks in casual tone, masking the suspicions he had in his head.
Shoichi freezes up.
Right, they didn't know that Byakuran had pulled him on an unwilling date to scramble the whole universe into chaos before snapping things back to normal.
So, he bolts.
Flames working as hard as they could to open a portal to Byakuran's office; the only place no one in this whole base knew of it's location.
He was somehow glad that he was under the Mare's sky than the arcobaleno's or the Vongola's since it means that despite teleportation being hard to activate, it was doable for him who also ended up have space properties in his flames.
He had succeeded!
The rest of the wreaths stayed at their places, stunned.
Especially Gamora who had held him securely on her lap. She swears that even Peter (Quill) would have a hard time getting out of her grasp.
Clint, who was late, decided that it was the best time to walk into the room.
"So, what is this meet and greet all-" He stops, eyes zooming to Loki at the couch. "What the fuck is he doing here!" He blurts out.
"Hush it Legolas, the kid's here." Tony snaps. "And that's a whole 'nother story." He replies to Clint's question.
Peter awkwardly waves.
"And we have more pressing matters to attend to." Tony says.
"Pressing matters?" Clint repeats. "Is this-" He points at Loki. "-not pressing."
Tony snorts, "Oh please. That was soo 15 minutes ago. Now we have to find Shoichi to squeeze out why he knows that Byakuran could wield the infinity stones without any repercussions."
Clint blanks out for a moment. "I'm sorry? Could you repeat that? Because I've just heard that Byakuran could wield them without repercussions." Clint says in an incredulous manner. "And we all know from the readings that any contact with those stones would kill you."
"Yup, so you get the problem with this situation?" Tony says. "And besides, Reindeer games have officially joined our flames club. So even if he wanted to deal with us, he would have to consider our good old 'sky', as Shoichi says."
"I take orders from no one!" Loki rebukes, infuriated.
"Yes, yes. Calm down Reindeer games." Tony offhandedly consoles Loki. "So, you in for the hunt of little Irie or not?"
Clint contemplates for a second and agrees. "Just for the record, I still don't trust him." He adds.
"The feeling is mutual." Loki spats.
And so, the hunt begins!
(With them somehow forgetting that they were supposed to plan for the invasion of a certain purple giant and Peter forgetting his date with MJ.)
