Images of You
-Loki stared at the mortal, smirking underneath the metal "muzzle". His eyes looked sad though.
Tony looked away and down, holding back the tears that he will never admit were there. "Stay, you're not gonna leave me."
Thor paused and looked at the man of iron. His eyes curios and his mouth in a thin frown line.
Tony balled his hands into fists. "This place is right where you need to be, Loki...please."
His voice was quiet enough for his other friends to not hear, but loud enough for both gods.-
Loki growled and waved the "image" away. He stood from his leaning against the wall position, looking over at Thor. "Why are you here?"
"You cared for him, Loki. He knew you before New York. I just can't figure out how long."
"Three Years."
"You knew him for three years brother?!"
Loki just stared at Thor before snapping and playing another image with his trickster magic.
-Tony looked scared as he stared at his god, the god.
"Why do your words mean so much to people, Tony?" The trickster growled, kneeling and gripping his staff tighter. "But they mean nothing to me. It's not gonna be okay and you know that, Stark."
"Because you've been changing," Tony backed up a bit "and I've been watching it happen."
There was laughter, a hysterical one that started in the chest and rose. "I've always been like this, you've just been blind." Loki stood. "And I thought you were a genius."
Tony stood and stared back at Loki with a kicked puppy dog look, snow starting to fall quickly. "I thought you were one too. Can't even see when someone does love you." With that the inventor ran, and the snow turned into an ice rain.-
Loki waved the image away when he saw Thor staring at him. "What?" He snarled.
Thor stood still, his head dropped slightly but his eyes piercing into Loki's. "He loved you."
The trickster turned his head away first, staring at where the last image of where Tony was. "Indeed he did."
"You loved him back."
Loki froze and turned back to Thor. "I did not love him!" He snarled out like poison.
Thor lifted his head. "But you did," he took a step towards the cell "I could tell be the way you only show his memories when you're bored or feel despair."
Loki's face fell as an image of Tony appeared hugging him and laughing.
Thor looked towards the image of the happy two, and then back at the other god. He saw the longing in his eyes. "Brother, why do you lie?"
"You don't get hurt that way, brother."
