Yes, I REALLY had a full month of exams. sorry. have a chapter as apology, 'kay?
since you guys asked for the myths...have lots of Loki talki-well, writing...It's something XD
Also go thank Shipping-orange and Darkness-Angels (like by reading their awesome work) because they kind of are the reason I managed to get over my writing block for the last 300words.

Tony yawned and lifted his head from his arm, rubbing his eyes. His back was hurting like a bitch and he cursed himself for falling asleep on his workbench again. No, wait, this was entirely too soft to be his workbench. His eyes shot open and he looked straight into curious green eyes. Oh great, he had fallen asleep on Loki, for fucks sake.
Not showing his discomfort at the situation he flashed him a blinding grin. "Morning sunshine! What's for breakfast? "

He pushed himself into sitting position and was glad to see that Loki was wearing a little smile. That was a welcoming change from last night. Oh goad, last night...Some serious talking was still bound to happen, but when Tony heard his stomach protest, he decided breakfast came first.

"Jeesh, seems like I have to do everything here myself. I'll be right back Garga-oh wait no, it's grumpy Smurf now" He said, jumping up and heading for the door. Loki shot him an irritated look for the references he couldn't understand, but Tony was already gone. He rolled his eyes and went to change his clothes and wash up. The man was insufferable but somehow he seemed to irritate Loki way less than he should. He groaned when he recalled their talk yesterday evening. Even right after a mental breakdown, he could find no excuse for his pathetic behaviour. But it did feel a lot better now. He felt less desperate, more accepting in his fate, and ready to make the best out of it. But that couldn't possibly be the result of his talk to Stark. No, he couldn't accept the mortal had this much influence on him.

He looked up into the mirror at himself. Tony had called his other form beautiful last night. He knew a lot of woman and quite a few man found his Asgardian appearance sexually attractive, he had used that to his advantage so many times after all, but he couldn't believe that anyone could accept this other form, let alone find it beau- but then again Tony had no motive to lie about it. He could have left him to die when he found him, he could've left him to rot in his cell, here or with S.H.I.E.L.D.

Then something the archer had said came to his mind. He had not been too mentally stable at the time, but he had had enough brain cells left to gain information about his enemies. His primary focus had been on the beast, but he had asked the Hawk a little about all of them. Now about Stark...He had said he was an arrogant rich man with a metal suit, but extremely popular with the masses. He had said Stark was egocentric and had a huge ego (all according to his S.H.I.E.L.D files ) and that he was most known for his extravagant parties, drunkenness and the fact that he slept with anything on two legs.

Could it be this? He combed his fingers through his hair. Could it be that Stark just wanted to scrap "sleeping with the enemy in a literal way" from the list of things he wanted to do in his short human life? From what he had seen the day he had thrown him out of the window Stark liked to live dangerously, and he had flirted with him. Was that why he was so carefully making sure Loki got better?
But he didn't really seemed to be the cunning type, a person that would be nice to someone just to reach an end. Yesterday, It had all seemed and felt so real. He found it difficult to believe that the panic when he had found him had been acted, or the comfort that he had given him afterwards. He didn't want to believe it either. Yet Stark only lusting over his body was the only explanation that made sense to him at the moment. He quickly swirled around when he heard the lab door opening.

"There we are, mommy Jarvis made us breakfast!" Some struggles followed to get the second door open with the plate in his hand."Jarv, just open it for me already, I'm sorry I called you mommy!"

"Yes sir."

Both men were sure they could hear a sigh in there somewhere. "Yeah, forget that I said that, Jarvis being a mom would be too awkward. Poor kid. Anyway, you really like that mirror, don't you, snow white? The two times I catch you upright is before it. " He said, putting the tray on the bedside table.

"We should really get you a table. But hey, if it's still about being blue, don't worry. Here on earth discriminating on skin colour or race is really, really not done. Everyone's equal. We even have very popular movie characters who look kind of like you and come from outer space-yea, you should totally see Avatar! I mean, you've never really seen a movie right? Oh goad I can't believe that, You miss so much culture!"

Tony rambled on, but Loki rolled his eyes and reached for the tray, not really paying attention anymore. Not being judged on race or skin colour, it sounded nice, but he doubted that all humans were doing it so naturally as Tony made it sound. Loki was raised with the ideas that everyone was born unequal. The different races were, but even inside a race, everyone was suited better for certain tasks. Stark said something in the background about great responsibilities of introducing him the right way, But it didn't quite register and since he stuffed a sandwich in his mouth just after that, Loki figured it wasn't that important. Humans seemed to be more and more interesting, building a society on the idea that everyone was equal. They had changed so much in the last few hundred years. He would have to search the internet on his Starkpad, some more, because it seemed like there were still some interesting things to be learned.

While taking his time with his food, he took the Starkpad and opened the internet. Stark looked interested in what he was doing and then it seemed like he remembered something because he tried to swallow his food. " Hey, I was still going to ask! Last time, when you got that laughing fit, what the hell did you google?"

"Human knowledge on myself and the Asgardians." Loki smiled, not looking away from the screen.

"So what's so funny 'bout that?" He could imagine it had been funny, because he had wikipedia'd the Norse deities himself, and not half of that could be true. Even more, most of it was totally ridiculous.

"There are a lot of incorrect facts and stories, but a lot of it is also quite close to the truth. Snorri, the writer of most of it, was a human writer that happened to be on a feast we threw on Midgard many years ago. I managed to get Thor drunk, and then he went and told the human all of Asgard's most embarrassing stories. It is quite funny that it survived the ages."

"So Norse myths are like you guy's equivalent of bad childhood memories?"

"You might want to call it that."

"So, wich ones are true then? You can't say Thor was a dragqueen before it was invented?"

"That one certainly happened. I was really satisfied he chose to share that one with the world" Loki smirked.

"And you really tied a goat to your holy parts?"

Loki chuckled. "I certainly did. Skadi was an interesting woman and it was a pity she divorced Njord and moved away from Asgard again."

"Ooooookay...and you're really the dad of an 8 legged horse, a gigantic wolf and Snake and a half corpse? " Tony said raising an eyebrow. Suddenly the mood changed into something much more tense.

"Watch your mouth Stark. My children are the most precious things in the nine realms to me and I will not tolerate any insolence or insult."

Tony raised his hands in a nonthreathening way "Wasn't saying anything! Phew, well- you must've been a one of a kind dad. must be nice to see when they bring girl- or boyfriends back home"

"It was" Loki snickered, apparently totally calmed down again. "Especially that time Sleipnir courted Hela's horse without her knowing about it." Tony threw him a disbelieving look but Loki just kept grinning and he couldn't find out if he was just messing with him or if it really happened. Probably real, if you read the other stories. Tony would love getting some about Loki out of Thor at a party after lots of drinking. but when he asked "So, where are your kids now then?" the good mood was gone as fast as it came back.

"They're...Sleipnir works in the stables as Odin's steed. He's happy with the job and I can-could see him often enough. Odin made Hela queen of the realm of the dead, because more and more Asgardians became disturbed with her appearance. She had no choice but to accept. And then...Jorm and Fen...There was a prophecy, the people started to talk and became afraid of their large sizes and Odin just...he banished Jörmundgandr to the depts of the sea and he chained up Fenrir somewhere where no one would find mother got executed because she refused to accept this and I...I couldn't do anything. I begged Odin but he wouldn't listen..they were barely adults. I hated him. I hated the world. I hated myself most. I was so blind to think he was my real father."

A tear crashed on the Starkpad but Loki quickly wiped the wetness from his eyes when Tony looked up. He cleared his troath and decided that Loki's pride probably couldn't handle two crying sessions so close behind eachother. This was so fucked up.

"So-ehm you want to see that movie with the blue dudes upstairs? I have a homecinema you know" Tony asked, trying to clear the mood. It looked like it worked, because Loki looked a bit relieved when he nodded, and Tony got up and held out his hand to help him up. The god rolled his eyes and Tony chuckled, eager to see how Loki would react toa movie on big screen. If it was going to be half as hilarious as with Thor, he was in for a good afternoon.

Yes, I left Syginn and everything conserning her out, because it came too close to Ragnarök stuff and obviously humans can't know about that centuries before Loki even finds out he's a frostgiant. He did however Marry Sigyn and then got divorced while she moved away with the two kids in this story ( leaving the option open for a possible ragnarök in the faaar far future wich I will totally not include in the story) *what follows is in no way really important, just a little timeline of Loki's life in my opinion, wich I will use for the story . You don't really have to read it*
In my opinion Loki is 10.000 years old (last iceage - frostgiants on earth) His first 3000 years are like 16 in human time, wich the age on wich he got Sleipnir by getting raped by Svadilfari ( my explanation herefore is that he wasn't so skilled at magic then yet and therefore it went kind of wrong, that's why he's so young...and Yes, I am cruel too.) At the age of 4000, (20 in human) he married Angrboda and they got Hela. 4500 years old they got Jorm and Fen (only a couple of decade diference with Fen beeing the youngest.) When Loke's is around 7500 Hela is grown up and gets exiled to be queen of the dead. 500 years later Odin chains up Fen and imprisons Jorm which makes Angrboda go rogue and she gets executed. ( she and Loki got divorced around his 6000'th birthday) Then we have the last 2000 years, where he married Syginn in a marriage of convenience somewhere around the year 800. They get two kids and She moves out at the start of the 14th century (yes, Loki came sulking on earth around that time for a bit) After that the last 600years were pretty calm, with the last 100 in preparation of Thor's corronation (and therefore Lokes hasn't been on earth recently) tadaaaaa
