Diary of the Gay Avenger

10-- Interrogation

So... I didn't go straight away to Tony and the others... I had to get some stuff of my own settled in my own mind first. ...Such as Loki and Clint's relationship... >_>
WHAT IF THEY GOT TOGETHER WHEN THEY WERE TAKEN AWAY AND ARE NOW SECRETLY DATING!? THAT DAMN HAWK STOLE MY MAN!
... Okay... Yes... I got carried away... I just can't bear to think that he might be secretly gay and choose someone else over me... I thought we were friends! But then... what if Loki actually is a traitor... I probably never meant anything to him anyway if that's the case... It still hurts to think about that... but I must tell Tony! I have to be the one to confront Loki... I need to hear it from him myself.

Daniel burst into the lab where Tony was working and he didn't hesitate to start bursting out with what he saw.

Tony dropped what he was doing at hearing Daniel's frantic explanation. "Flying monkey?! Again?! Reindeer Games doesn't know when to stop..."

"Exactly!" Daniel agreed as he began to storm to the exit of the room. "Which is why I'm going to interrogate Loki while you take Clint!"

Without waiting for debate, Daniel marched straight to Loki's room where Jarvis allowed him to go straight in without warning. Loki looked surprised at the sudden intrusion but other than that his irritation was clear on his face. At that impression, Daniel tried his best not to be rude as he asked, "Loki, what's going on with you an Clint?" Having Loki entirely avoid him and his question set him off. He let out a huff of air as he straight up questioned, "Are you, or are you not controlling Clint's mind again by playing your little magic games?!"

Loki instantly seemed put off by the accusation. His jaw was clenched as argued angrily, "It was simply an off-world sickness that infected Barton and he didn't want anyone to know he was too weak to do anything. I was only trusted by the archer because I was the only one there when he fell ill; not to mention, I'm the only one who could help him. I doubt you possess any magical abilities. Now, do you, Daniel?"

There was an awkward moment of silence before Daniel connected the dots aloud, "Oh... so you don't hang out with Clint because you want to? You hang out because you need to?"

"Of course. I have no interest in hanging out with an archer. He has absolutely nothing that interests me." Loki rolled his eyes as he crossed his arms and looked away.

Daniel knew that Loki was now angry at him. How could he not miss Loki's temper? "You could always learn archery," He suggested as he tried to lighten the mood.

Loki gave an incredulous gaze. "Are you trying to make a jest?"

He shrugged his shoulders. "Well, I certainly can't actually imagine you picking up a bow and arrow and making use of it."

"As if I would be caught dead doing something as childish as that. I have magic, not little hunting toys." Just by hearing his voice, one would think he was still mad, but the look in his eyes told another story. He was enjoying inadvertently making fun of Clint and his archery sport.

"Hmph," Daniel gave a soft smile. He was definitely glad to have Loki joking around again. He was especially relieved at his friend wasn't a traitor as they had assumed... He got slightly flustered at remembering why he burst in there in the first place. "Erm... Sorry... About coming in here and yelling at you..."

"Anthony put you up to that, didn't he?"

Daniel hesitated. He could tell the truth... or he could put the blame all on Tony and act like he had nothing to do with accusing Loki. "Yeeeah! Tony thought you were doing the whole 'flying-monkey' thing again!"

All the tension in the room vanished as Loki suddenly narrowed his eyes in confusion. "I... do not understand." They stared at each other for a moment. "What is a... flying monkey?"

"It's a reference." Daniel awkwardly shuffled his feet. "It doesn't matter. But I should probably go clear this up with Tony before he gets the Avengers involved."

As he walked to the door, Loki added, "I would be grateful. I would also be grateful in knowing what a flying monkey is!"

"Look it up on your laptop. Tony got you one." Daniel pointed to the device on his desk as he left the room with no further instruction. Loki would be busy learning how to use that. That gave Daniel lots of time to clear up the mess that he had gotten them into.

Well, its good to see Loki doing better after such a long time. I found out that he was perfectly fine and that there's no chance he could ever be secretly dating Clint. They are too horrible for each other! They clash horribly!
Unless... that's just what they want you to think... >~<
 Hopefully not! But I also found that Loki prefers magic to actual weapons. It makes me curious as to what he actually prefers to fight with. Except for that big magical explosion with the aliens, I've never really seen Loki fight before. Hm... This makes me curious about Loki now. That's it. My new action plan is to get closer to Loki. Maybe then I can learn if Asgardians are cool with homosexuality...
