Summary
Loki is the black sheep of the prestigious Odinson dynasty. His life has been a whirlwind of indulgence without consequence - but now his adoptive father has firmly thrown down the gauntlet and threatened to cut off Loki's inheritance if he doesn't clean up his act.
Begrudgingly, he allows himself to be checked into a private rehab facility. He just needs to make it through the 12 week program sober, and then normal service can resume.
However, one of his peers, Sylvie, takes an instant disliking to him and seems set on reading him for filth at every opportunity.

Summary
Malevola has him pinned against her side, hanging onto him like she’s afraid he’s going to get swallowed by the drunken crowd. Sonar is on her other side, ears glowing faintly with the strobe lights as he knocks into her repeatedly.
Visi swings by, wipes the corner of his mouth, then disappears. Hot hands find his head a second- seconds? minutes? later. The flash of orange and black coming closer has him swaying dangerously to catch whatever Flambae starts to mutter against his ear. Something about shitty music?
Coop saunters past with a glint of metal, prying the empty tumbler from his hand. Punch Up appears with a full one to replace it. It makes his face flush when he takes a swig.
“Yo! Anyone seen Golem?” Prism pushes through. She’s got Waterboy by the wrist; She might be about to use him to purposely slip people and get them out of her way. Phenomaman is floating after them.
Visi comes back again, this time with Blazer holding on for dear life. They’re hugging like it’s the end of the world instead of just being drunk in a shitty bar. Blazer smiles, dimples showing. His vision swims.
The whiskey burns. So does the ache in his chest.

Summary
Mecha Man was always going to die in that suit.
It's a tradition.
It's a curse.
It's his inheritance.
It's fucking fate.

Summary
Figuring out who you are, apart from the weight of everyone’s assumptions, your past as an ex B-list celebrity hero, and your estranged dysfunctional family is hard, if not impossible as is.
Add in trust issues and a gaping loneliness that only seems to grow day by day, and now you’re pretty much just going through the motions of a life you'd once hoped was your ticket to happiness.
Still, though, if it’s any consolation, the cute neighborhood guy you have a thing for also just so happens to be the new hire at work… And he might understand where you’re coming from a little too well.
