When they got to the tower, Happy also helped  them carry.

Happy was actually Tony's security officer, but he also helped out with other things. Among these other things were carrying things and driving. At least he drove others around when Tony wasn't, since he always preferred to drive himself.

However, they put the things in the hallway first. Tony just put the paint in the room and then went to get something to mask the floor, paint rollers and brushes. When he came back with the things he stumbled over one of the boxes. But caught himself with a lunge "Who put that here?!" he grumbled. Loki stood in the doorway of the room and replied "Erm.. that was you yourself." He bit back his laughter. Tony then simply handed the material to Loki. "I'm sure you'll be fine with that, right? I still have work to do." he said and just let Loki stand there.

He more than agreed with that. He brought everything into the room and put the stuff on the floor. Then he closed the door. He just sat down in the middle of the room and suddenly everything taped itself off. Then the paint opened up, mixed in a little whirl and the paint brushes dipped. Loki moved all with his magic. He moved his hands only slightly and three brushes, like a paint roller, set to work painting everything black that should be black. Everything went neatly, quickly and cleanly. Briefly he considered painting the door as well. So he did, at least from the inside. He ended up sitting in an all-black room, lit by the sunlight from outside. While the paint dried, he got up and put everything together, also via magic. The paint completely detached itself from the painting tool and flowed back into the bucket, which then closed itself. The remains of the masking collected in a corner. While the paint was drying, he lay down on the floor and read.

After a good hour he could continue. Loki opened the door to the hallway again and walked out. He levitated the first box and brought it into the room. Just as he was setting it down, Tony came over to see how far along he was. "Firstly, how did you get it done so quickly? Secondly, why didn't you already do that while we were carrying it?!" asked Tony directly. "First, magic, second, you didn't ask." Loki replied immediately without really paying attention to him. "Fine. Do you want me to set this up or do you do it yourself?" the adult asked further. "I can do it myself if you don't have time. You said you still have work to do." Loki said and opened the box. "I can also help you briefly." Tony offered again. "It's okay." Loki replied and unpacked everything and sorted it on the floor. "Sure?" "Yup." Loki still said and closed his eyes briefly while spreading his arms. Shortly thereafter, the bed assembled. Tony watched in fascination. When Loki opened his eyes again and looked at him, he acted unimpressed. "Then I'm really not needed." he then said and left. Loki shrugged and set up the rest of the furniture.

But Tony didn't take his eyes off him. He had given Loki a CCTV room in case he did anything wrong. But now he uses it to understand this 'magic'.

Now Loki taped everything he wanted with the LED strips. Finally, he began to arrange the decorations and clothes. He sorted the clothes a bit by color and type and put them in the closet.

Meanwhile, Tony was setting up the new phone so Loki could use it. He hoped it would distract him enough not to do anything. He then began to calculate how much he had spent on the new resident today. "Bed, furniture, decor, clothes, cell phone, hobby stuff and services.... $3721.57.. Thor will give me that back..." he said to himself. He figured he'd have to spend about another $1500.

Loki had changed and was now standing contentedly in the room. Then Tony came in. Loki looked straight at him. "Here's your phone. I set it up for you. You shouldn't have any problems using it. If you do, just ask. I've already set up social media accounts for you." Loki took it hesitantly and looked at the electronic box. "Turn it on.- on the button on the side." Loki pressed the button and the display came on. Loki had to grin when he saw the picture "Seriously? Ironman? And I've been told I'm selfish." he laughed. "Anyway, swiping takes you to the home screen and that's where the apps are." "What are apps?" "You'll see when you try them. Got it?" "I guess so. I mean the picture changed to one of you." He continued to laugh. "Yes, you're in. Good. The small boxes are the apps. Go to text." Loki tapped the app and saw a couple of numbers. They were stored under the names 'Happy', 'Stark' and 'Potts'. "Now go stark and type a message in the little box," Tony said. Loki did as he was told, texting for fun

*Midgard to Ironman. Don't take off too far and keep your feet on the ground.*

As soon as he tapped the send arrow, Tony's phone vibrated and he read it through. "Really funny Loki." he only said . Loki still had to grin and started laughing when he got this reaction. "You can take a look at the other apps." Tony said then. Just before he left he added "but you're really good at decorating." He went out of the room again.

Loki still had two corners free. In one stood an easel with the canvases, brushes and paints. The cabinet and shelf each stood in the middle of a wall, leaving the corners open. In the far corner was the bed, above it was the shelf set into the wall.

He sat down on his made bed and tried the cell phone a little further. He came across an app called YouTube. He tried out a few different styles of music but eventually got stuck in a band. Maneskin. He listened to a few songs and found it more and more enjoyable. By chance he came across the account of a teenager. He only had two videos, but they were really funny. In one he stood in front of the mirror and imitated the Avengers. In the other he was in a car and- Tony suddenly appeared. Only then did he recognized the boy. It was Peter Parker, from the picture in the kitchen. He was really cute, Loki thought and smiled slightly.

Tony checked his appointment calendar again to see when his protégé was coming. "Two more weeks," he murmured. But then someone surprised him. Someone stood behind him and hugged him.
