She made a noise, and he had to repress the incredible urge to smirk. He was teasing her with information now, he knew- she did a much better job of hiding it than she had at their last meeting, but the wanting was still there. As well it should be.

It wasn’t worship, but it was something he rather liked, and that thought made him allow a small smile and a nod at her words, approving of their intent and the compliment, whether she’d meant it to be one or not. Causing epiphanies wasn’t in his job restriction, but when they were revelations born in fire? Yes. He could deal with that. “Some break, and some learn. Maybe we’re the latter.”

As it turned out, he’d been right again. It was a very good night in that regard, and given the events of past weeks, he was inclined to revel in it. Besides, this was all new information, another side to Myra that he hadn’t been privy to, and the slow opening of her mind to controlling these surroundings was retaining its fascination rather well. The scenery wasn’t refreshing- mundane, really, but the aesthetics, of course, weren’t the point. “Well, you’ve gone and made me impolite. Smoking inside.” Loki flicked the ash of his cigarette once, before glancing around and back to her. “I assume you know where we are. You tell me. Is it?”

She was closer to the heart of the matter now, and he wondered if she knew it. There was a distinct lack of questioning from Myra about matters that most were deeply concerned about, and whether it was intentional or accidental- well, he’d find out in time. This might take time, in fact, quelling his own fascination; it wasn’t one built on sentiment, but rather a pure lack of knowledge. The realm of Midgard had surprised him once, after all… and he had the rather sneaking suspicion now that it was his own fault.

Whatever Myra was now, she had begun as one of them, and so many of the mortal traits remained. The fierce desire for individuality, the pain, the bravado. Most humans, of course, played at these traits like shadow puppets on the wall. But the ones who were real, who reached just that bit more than the herded masses…

Well, they had been the trouble. And as for what he craved…

That might also get answered by Myra. “You were thinking about me,” he said finally, “in some form or fashion. Perhaps it wasn’t on the forefront of things, the powerful stuff never is, don’t you agree? But you were, and it was different from the other thoughts. Maybe this is why?” He gestured to the landscape which so obviously troubled her. lifting his shoulders in a slight shrug. “I’m a god of curiosity too; it’s often forgotten.”

Loki stood then, joining her to gaze out over the island. “It bothers you. I’m not going to press any longer as to why, but might I make a suggestion?” He looked down at her, green eyes almost playful in the dim light. “It’s a dream, Myra. Change it.”

Few humans had the mettle, or will to do such a thing. Far less would with a presence as overwhelming as his around. But he hadn’t lied, this time. It could be done.

Yes. Now things got interesting.

My favorite? Oh you mean I didn't make that clear enough to you? I suppose that's my fault, I should have at least gotten you roses or something. Well as possible? I hope that's not as bad as it sounds. And I'm- coming back from being quite dead. Well okay, not dead but that's what I told everyone.

Sun, 27 May 2012 00:42:02 -0400

Mm. Well, I assure you I wasn’t dead. ~~Though the muzzle was close enough.~~ That sounds far more…hazardous, not to mention difficult to pull off. You’ll have to tell me all about it. At your leisure, of course.

Roses would have been appreciated, but unnecessary. It’s the thought that counts, yes?

It’s Mischief Time; corrupt some new friends,

We’re going to steal the Tesseract;

With Loki the God, and Clint the archer;

The fun will never end, it’s Mischief Time!

Well, well, well if it isn't our favorite trickster come to haunt us. How have you beeen, lovely creature?

…Lily. Your favorite? I’ll remember that.

I think one could accurately say I’ve been as well as possible, dearest. And yourself?

Loki’s lips curled up at Myra’s first statement. Nowhere else in the world as important. For all her confidence, her ambition…paled, in comparison to his. After all, he hadn’t meant to stop at New York, nor Stark Tower. On the other hand, she’d gotten what she wanted…or maybe that remained to be seen. In any case, freely giving information wasn’t on his agenda, at least not that little tidbit. What he’d started here clearly needed to be continued.

“I am listening to you. In fact, I believe I said that justification of your actions was unnecessary when it came to me.” He glanced at her, now further out in the black night. “For what it’s worth- not that my unsolicited advice is warranted, at this point- that reminder is a very useful one. To anyone. True strength is found in the ones who refuse to submit, and start fires anew.” He paused, holding the cigarette out mid-drag. “One god’s opinion, clearly.”

“As for the rest of your question, Myra, no. Not that you don’t have a certain…passion when you are riled up that’s rather appealing.” A smile crept over his face, but he shook his head as if to rid the unwarranted levity from his features. “But. Curious as you are, I highly doubt that if I was to have come back with tales of meeting another version of you, especially in the manner that you’re alluding to- well. I expect you’d ask questions.” He rolled his shoulders back then, and gazed at her. “I don’t need worship. I never have.”

That, surprisingly, was mostly true.

“I’ve been busy. Surely you’ve heard.” This time, he allowed some actual surprise to slip into his voice. “I found you because you made yourself very obvious. This place still means something to you, doesn’t it? You think different things than the rest of this realm when it comes to me, I’d wager.”

Apology or no, his tone was sharp. Harsh. Nearly disappointed. “Survival is the most basic form of judgement, and yet you still feel compelled to justify it to me. Mayhem without worry, Myra?” She was still raw, that much was obvious. Learning…but still missing the point. Had he meant to teach her that, when he’d set that fire? Or had he just come to prod, poke, and otherwise dissect?

Well. Never let it be said that he wasn’t a multitasker.

“I wonder,” he murmured, “if you’re trying to justify this to me… or another me.”

“Well, it’s nice to see you’ve risen above the usual path of self-destruction,” he replied, almost dryly. “Then again, maybe that was the problem all along, yes? It’s the destruction of others you were really searching for.” It was a change, but hardly a complete one. He could appreciate, certainly, whatever’d influenced her- or whoever, perhaps- but there was, of course, something in him that took pride in the hold he still had on her, even after his abrupt absence.

“Let me guess, did you follow the fairy too far? I warned you about that, you know. Resilience has it’s limits, and there are so few who can get on by their wits alone.”

He motioned to a aged park bench then, his head tilting to the slightest degree in its direction. Would she follow?

“And Myra. Never worry about troubling me with details. They say the devil’s in them, but I’ve never found myself to be particularly pious. Is that ironic?” His lips quirked, before pulling again on the tobacco. “Indulge my curiosity: what happened to your partner? You know. The one you left behind for…greater things.”

Myra was bored. Plain and simple. Her phone had stopped buzzing about an hour ago and the boys were still asleep in the next room while she sat out on the couch in the hotel room’s living area. She’d tried watching television and going for a short walk to re-up on her cigarettes and candy stash, and had even contemplated going to one of the casinos to see if she might be able to pass a little bit of time. But she was wary about going out without the boys. David and Edgar had been adamant about her staying inside during the day while they were on vacation, and she really had no other option but to obey.

“Ah. And my hypothesis is confirmed.” Loki maintained an even level of voice, but inwardly grinned. She’d become like the other…what was his name? Ah, yes. Eric. In any case, it explained much of the change, the new bravado. She’d figured out a way to become more, and from all indications was enjoying it. It reminded him vaguely of his own transformation, after he’d learned the truth.

Still, though, she was Myra. Still with the slight slips of tongue, still no god. “Indeed you have,” he remarked lightly, taking a confident step towards her. “And while I appreciate the sentiment, you needen’t worry about me. Sometimes, we have to leave. To learn. To grow.” His eyebrow arched, clearly expecting a prompt answer. “Don’t you agree? Tell me, Myra. What did your dearest Loki miss?”

Well, well. She’d grown up, just like him. And if he wasn’t mistaken, there was a certain…essence about her. He’d sensed it before on one mortal- but no, that wasn’t the correct term, was it? He had been more than mortal, one who had risen at least somewhat above. If true, he had to admit to approving of the change.

Another thing he’d learned over the past few months was that a certain level of defiance could be rather enjoyable.

“Oh, you know,” he cooed, taking another satisfying, acrid drag of the cigarette. “I have talked about my horrible PR to you before, haven’t I? Pragmatism is such an undervalued trait in this realm. But perhaps you’ve learned.”

His green eyes darted to the deserted island. He’d stopped its total devastation, suffocated her flames just enough to leave her wanting. What she’d wanted precisely, he’d never gotten the chance to find out, but what was it the Midgardians said?

Ah, yes. Better late than never.

“So we’ll say you did, because it makes me smile, and Hela knows I’ve had far too little of that, as of late.” Loki shot her the feral grin he had so many times before, the cherry of the cigarette dancing in his eyes. “Did you miss this, I wonder, dearest Myra? Or did you acquire your own taste for it?”

Ah. Her. How… intriguing.

Muzzle and captivity not withstanding, Loki had, as usual, been at least productive in his solitude. It wasn’t as if the situation wasn’t enraging. It was quite the opposite in fact, and being back home- on Asgard- sat less well with him than he had ever cared to imagine. He’d been rushed again, perhaps, but the Chitauri had offered their deal only once, and they were a race with precious little tolerance or patience. That too had been an issue- they’d only wanted war and death after all. He shook his head, a low chuckle escaping his lips.

If there was to be a war, it would be glorious, and more importantly, his.

On any other night, he would have been going after another of them. Te best way to topple a building or an empire, after all, was to destroy the foundations, and the bonds that held together the so-called… Avengers were tenuous at best. Still, if he had learned nothing else, it was that even the mortals were not to be underestimated. His oversights would not be tolerated. They were, after all, unbecoming of a king. Tonight, however, he’d chosen to save some of his energy. The trap had been set, and besides, one found the most exciting possibilities when one wasn’t looking. He’d searched for his mark upon their subconscious thoughts; he’d followed the one most promising.

And here she was. Myra, full of absinthe, fire, and, oh… well. Nostalgia was such a dirty word. Loki, however, hadn’t allowed himself the chance for fun in quite a while, and if the girl had been anything, it had been that. He wondered if she was still so blank. So malleable. And most important of all… so his.

The cigarettes were still in his front pocket, the hard pack crushing just a bit under the fitted hug of the black jeans on his hips. He lit one, inhaled, and spoke.

“So. Did you miss me? And don’t lie, Myra. You know I’ll know.”

Nick Fury: A man who’s bitten off far, far more than he can chew. He respects his manipulative abilities to a point, but feels Fury just really has no clue who he’s dealing with. He considers him more of just a somewhat impotent puppetmaster, who does have a team of timebombs sitting under him. He’d rather cheekily ignore him and light the fuses himself.

Erik Selvig: Had his use. Not on the top of Loki’s shit list, but he does nurse a quiet grudge and wonder about how he got that failsafe in the portal device. Other than that, it’s pretty much an ant/boot scenario in his mind- although who’s to say he couldn’t be useful again?

Ask me about a character, and I'll tell you how mine -actually- feels about them.
