Diary of the Gay Avenger

4-- Coming Out: The Story

If ever oh ever a gay there was, Daniel is gay because because... and further repetitions of because... BECAUUUUUUUUUSE

Because of all the gay shit he does! Oooooooh, we're off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of gaaaaaay!

I'm in such a happy mood, as you can probably tell. Why shouldn't I be in a happy mood? I just saved the world single-handedly! Okay... that's a bit of an exaggeration... But I just saved Loki from making a horrible mistake so I feel pretty good about myself. I have to say, every time I write in my diary in front of him he gives me these weird looks. I'm not sure why he does it but I'm definitely planning on asking him why one of these days. After all, I'll have plenty of time to get acquainted with my new team-mate!

It's "make my team proud" time! As if they wouldn't already be proud of me for getting Loki to shut down his own invasion.

Daniel proudly followed behind Loki as they traveled through the elevator up to the roof of the tower. With a confident smile on his face, they walked towards the machine. Loki hesitated before he approached waving the scepter in a gesture for the scientist to move.

The scientist did do as commanded, but not without saying, "It's almost ready. Once it's charged up then the portal will open."

Daniel's eyebrows furrowed together before he asked, "Could you free their minds once you have them under your control?"

Loki glanced at Daniel silently before walking past the scientist and placing the scepter into the heart of the machine. He wasn't so daft not to know that there was a way to shut it all down. It was obvious that Doctor Selvig would have made a fail-safe in the system if things were to go wrong. Which, if Loki couldn't shut this down, things would go really wrong really fast. But the scepter slid through flawlessly as the power between the mind stone and the space stone began to cancel each other out. 

Daniel watched in amazement at the scene. But it was rudely interrupted by none other than Tony Stark who flew up the side of the building in his worn out armor. Daniel knew what was coming and instinctively ran towards the danger. He was too late to protect Loki from a blast with Tony's guns. But he continued his attack, and midway to Stark, he transformed into a strong hawk. Clawing onto Stark's helmet he screeched mentally, "Don't touch him! Loki's only trying to help!"

Tony fell to one knee as his suit was finally giving out and he was trying to wave away the bird while shouting, "Come on Daniel, what are you doing?! Don't tell me Loki controlled you too!"

Loki sat up as he rubbed his jaw. It was clear he was sore, and not just from the blast that Tony just served him. He spat towards Iron Man, "He was telling you that I'm only trying to help, daft Midgardian."

Tony looked like he didn't believe a single word that was coming out of Loki's mouth. No, of course not. Loki was the enemy in this situation. What could make him possibly believe that Loki was telling the truth? "And I'm supposed to believe that just because you tell me that Daniel said it?"

Daniel flew beside Loki and landed beside him in his human form. Daniel looked dead serious as he helped Loki up and handed him his scepter. Daniel looked at Tony for a minute before deciding to actually get up and go face the man. "Tony, listen, I'm not under any kind of mind control. You have to believe him. He's actually doing this to help us."

The hate was clear in Tony's eyes, but he didn't have a chance to say anything truly doubtful of Loki. Natasha interjected by saying, "If Loki is going to help instead of rage war then, by all means, let the man help!"

Daniel looked to Loki with a small nod of understanding and Loki immediately went back to work, despite the cold glare of Tony. A spark flew between the scepter and the tesseract and the machine made a soft whine, signifying that it was powering down.
