Chapter Text
I know you love this You do forget that i can read your mind
When you've already had a shit day, the last thing you want to do is talk to another person. All Tony wanted was a few drinks(a few?), some peace and quiet, and maybe some sleep if he could get it. He wasn't asking for much, but of course, he didn’t get it anyway.
Moving to the bar, grabbing some alcohol, he was going on autopilot. The same movements over and over, letting his eyes get some rest while he takes a nice refreshing sip. Maybe he should take a vacation? It's been a while, he certainly feels like he needs one. He opens his eyes and tells Jarvis he’s going to sleep.
Drinking the rest of his glass he turns to the- turns- not being able to turn, he starts scanning the room, calling out for “ja-“ a hand clasps onto his mouth “I wouldn’t do that if I were you” oh great, magic. Trying to answer his words came out as gibberish. He tried licking (who he assumed to be) Loki’s hand, but that trick didn’t work, though from the sound Loki made, it seems like he wasn’t too pleased with it either. Once he stopped attempting to talk, the hand came off. “alright Darth Vader how are you here and what do you want?”
By now Tony’s upper half was released from the spell. Loki walked in front of him, finally in sight. Ignoring his first question he said “right to the point aren’t we? You see, there are few items of value on Midgard, and I’ve found one. Now we can make a deal, or I can take it”
”why is this my problem? If you want the spear or the tesseract, don’t hate to burst your bubble, I don’t have it”
”mm. You’ve mistaken me, it’s something that currently belongs to you, also blue if you need a hint” he added patronizingly, slowly moving closer.
It took him a moment with all these question floating around his head “the arc reactor?!”
”if that’s what you call it then yes”
”you do realize it’s in my body right? Do you know how humans work?” Slightly outraged at the prospect of yet again, someone wanting him to give/build them something. He then realized that he gave out information about one of his biggest weaknesses, but Loki could’ve killed him already if he wanted to. Hold on- he could’ve killed them (especially him) multiple times, but... he hasn’t
“yes, I’ve done my research, this is why I’m being generous and giving you the option to make a deal”
generous my ass. What the hell is he gonna do with it anyway? Is he gonna study it? Find out why his magic didn’t work? (Tony would also like to do that but that doesn’t matter right now) “so what is this deal exactly?”
”I knew you would be sensible. I get what I want, you stay alive, pretty simple”
”you get my arc reactor and I stay alive? I’m assuming you want me to build you one, right?”
”no”
tony was really confused right now. If he wasn’t building another one the only other option is some sort of magic, but it doesn’t work with his-
“I’m taking you”
~
“Like HELL you’re taking me! Ex-fuckin-cuse you? Why can’t I just build you a damn arc reactor?!”
Loki waited for him to finish until he backslapped him “The fuck was that-“
“Do you think I’m stupid? I said I did my research. you would think me as idiotic as those Midgardians were? I’m not giving you a chance to betray me.”
“So this is my choice huh? Be kidnapped or die? What kind of choice is that?”
“I’m glad you agree”
“Awha- I didn’t agree to anything-“
