video; shortly after waking up this morning

[wrathfulkhan]

[Hi, everyone. Have a six-year-old with glasses that are too big for his head and utterly swimming in his clothes giving y'all the worst stink-eye you can get on a face this cute. He's too irritated to go back to Zatanna's post, so he's going with the usual Marvel-verse scapegoat: Blame Loki.]

Loki! This isn't funny! FIX THIS, or ELSE!

Didn't ask your opinion-

[He starts to snap at Loki, but is cut off. Both by Bianca and by Loki himself, because unfortunately the point is a good one. Technically he did drag the other kid in. Maybe he meant to and maybe not. It doesn't matter.

Instead of starting up with Loki again, he keeps his eyes on Bianca. Which is totally weird, because he's looking at himself. It's one of the more creepy moments he's had.]

That's not what it is. If I was doing what I thought he deserved, I wouldn't bother playing telephone. I'm making it better. I was making it better. I can't really do that from here.

[He glances back at the console, but doesn't turn all the way around. No way do they get that satisfaction. They don't need to know if he feels bad.]

I didn't go in just to ruin their day, but considering one of them has a track record for attacking people "just for the fun of it", you'll have to excuse me if I don't feel all that bad about him getting a little confused.

[ Loki is still not entirely sure what to make of Bianca, much less Bianca being so very herself in his enemy's form. He's still bristling though it's pretty evident that she somehow managed to get him to rein in his ire. Another factor might have been that it becomes evident that attention was getting firmly redirected.

That's what he wanted, and paying for it with some loss of good will from that absurdly motherly woman would be worth it. Still, he wishes he could just magic this back into order, and do something about Iron Man's stupid mouth. ]

Don't speak of me like I'm not right here. Not unless you want me to give compelling reasons why.

[ The demand sounds more petulant than threatening, and there was never any way to really know if he was being genuine. ]

[There's no part of this whole body switch situation that isn't weird. Something like this was never what she expected would happen when she learned her son had become a superhero. Ending up on the back of a turtle wasn't included in that list of possibilities for that matter, either.]

Then what are you trying to do?

[definingfuture]

[Great. Now not only is Bianca lecturing him in his own body (Did he really make those faces?), but not Loki was trying to get in on the act. This is officially a bad day. Tony crosses his arms and rolls his eyes with as much petulant immaturity as the teenage god on the console screen.]

I'm not talking to you, Annie. Wait your turn.

[Which totally invalidates the point, because he is addressing Loki to say that. But he rolls with it anyway. More importantly, Tony has to get himself out of this hot water with Bianca. He raises both hands defensively in front of him.]

I'm not doing anything. I'm talking. It's not my fault that the Irregulars got caught off-guard. [He thumbs back in the console's direction as he says that.] I can't predict the future any more than you can. Less, now, thanks to this mess.
