You go too far, Iron Man! You know not what you have done, knavish cullion. I will relish taking my revenge, make no mistake. I hate you, hate, with every ounce of my being and this shall not be a mistake you ever dare repeat.

[ Loki's mad. Real mad.

Just in case that wasn't obvious. ]

I was on level four hundred and thirty-three! [ His voice goes high enough it cracks on the last word, and he huffs before continuing. ] Why would you even do that? Is this not against your Midgardian Geneva Conventions? Candy Crush Saga should be sacred and untouchable.

[ He hasn't even checked his other games yet. He deflates somewhat, plaintively fussing: ] It's just so rude.

Then you should have her fix it. She's apparently an expert on Starktech.

[He asked for that.]

[bacondivination]

[ No. No, no, noooo. ]

You aren't getting off that easily. You started this, so you must finish it.

[definingfuture]

But I'm already finished.

[Hear that love? That is the sound of satisfaction in his tone.]

[bacondivination]

[ He arches an eyebrow. ]

Oh no, you don't get to just roll over and go to sleep here, Iron Man.

[definingfuture]

Why not? Are you going to make me a better offer?

[He's not intimidated by Loki.]

[bacondivination]

My offer is that I don't perpetuate the conflict between us. You could have let it lie, you know. We'd just needed to coexist.

[ But he's kind of missed having someone to actively undermine and work against. ]

[definingfuture]

You already crossed that line, remember? We're past the stage of peaceful coexistence, and it's not nothing to do with your high scores on Angry Birds.

[Oops, that's admitting he's the culprit. Oh well.]

[bacondivination]

[ Blank horror: ] Those, too?

[ There were more important things to address, but they got lost in that horrified realization that he actually had hit everything. ]

got. I swear I can type.

[definingfuture]

Go outside and ride a bike like a normal kid.

[He's not really serious.]

You really spend too much time on your phone.

[bacondivination]

If you think I need to fill my hours with something more productive, I assure you that I shall find something.

[definingfuture]

You do what I think you're planning on doing and I will break it.

[bacondivination]

Oh, and what am I planning?

[definingfuture]

You just keep your planning out of the streets, Young Avenger.

[Tony's not sure if this is still part of their game and it's starting to bother him. Maybe he shouldn't have provoked the god.]

[bacondivination]

[ Loki doesn't even have a plan for dealing with Tony right then. He's much too busy with a complicated and immensely delicate magical working for the next few weeks.

This doesn't change the fact thay he knows he makes people justifiably nervous when he smiles a certain way, or takes a particular tone. ]

You really might be onto me, huh? Now, come on, share with the class. You've your suspicions, and I might even confirm them.

[definingfuture]

[Tony unfortunately has no clue what Loki is doing. It was a bluff intended to thwart whatever the god might be trying to do before it got too far, even though he knows that Loki isn't going to be cowed by him. He was hoping that bringing it up would deter him, like taking the element of surprise away from a cat.

But Loki called his bluff and Tony is left scowling.]

Just... whatever it is, don't. I don't want to end up with one of your messes. That isn't remotely close to anything I've done.

[He's pretty sore that he has to admit not knowing what Loki is up to, but he's holding onto the point anyway.]

[bacondivination]

So you're clueless. That's boring.

Ah well, I'll give you a hint: it's the likes of which you've never seen before.

[definingfuture]

No one wants to see you expose yourself, Loki. Trust me, it's better to keep things covered up.

[Whatever he has planned, it can't be good for the general public.]

Can't you come up with something better? Beating you is going to get pretty old pretty fast at this rate.

[bacondivination]

Patience, friend. Patience. You'll see soon.

[ His tone is light, but there's a distinct edge. ]

[definingfuture]

I'm not your friend. [As if he really needs to hear that.]

And I'm sure whatever it is won't be that impressive.

[bacondivination]

Mhmm, keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better. Buh-bye, Iron Man.
