he snorted. "it would make an epic explosion. Steve would kill us both." he admitted with a grin. "i'm sure we'll get it working, we'll get started on it right away." he promised as he poked and prodded the machine as he tried to find an excuse to miss the meeting. "yeah i guess." Loki mumbled as he followed Tony up the stairs, doing his best not to make eye contact with anyone, making most of the room hyper aware that whatever this meeting was about, it involved Loki, and the godling wasn't happy about it.
"as you all might have noticed, shortly after Tony regained his memories Loki took to... avoiding us." Steve admitted, eyes flicking around the room. "some of you saw Loki when we finally got him out of his room yesterday, he looked like shit. drowning himself in depression." Loki huffed and hunched up even more, unhappy with being here for this discussion. "this is because a certain someone convinced him that Tony was going to leave him, kick him out, and abandon him for me." Steve admitted, his lips tightening to a very angry thin line. "Pepper Potts very nearly caused Loki to kill himself. and i'm sure you don't have to guess..." "i wasn't suicidal!" "yet." Steve stated, staring at Loki. "admit it. if Tony had left you, you wouldn't have been able to take it." "i don't want to talk about this." Loki muttered, looking away rather than admit that he probably would have killed himself rather than face a world without Tony. "Pepper very nearly tore apart Loki and Tony, and that in turn would have affected the entire Tower. because of this, Tony and I have decided that we're going to teach Pepper a mighty fine lesson about getting involved in other people's personal lives. without killing her." he ordered, fixing a firm look on Kyra, James, Natasha and Grant. "Tony has invited her to the tower and Loki is going to change his appearance and pretend to be here on Phil's team. i don't want him left alone with her, ever. while Tony is doing disgusting acts with her, we're going to pretend to be dissolving at the seams. we'll make her regret ever even laying eyes on Loki. Glare at her, stage massive fights with each other. Clint? with your permission Loki's going to make you look suicidally depressed." he admitted. "we'll eat her up with guilt."
