Loki took a great intake of breath as he woke up, he slowly blinked open his eyes and looked directly at the wall. Tony was not there. He was fully awake in seconds, he sat up and blinked around. He felt something pulsing around his arm and looked down to see green magic swirling around as he scanned the room for signs of Tony. He emerged from outside on the balcony. Loki curled his lip at him when Tony acted like he didn't see him.
'Anthony!' He yelled, Tony looked right through him to the door it was still closed when turned around. Tony looked away from it and went into the bathroom for a minute before returning, rubbing his hands together. After he finished this he took off his dirty underwear and put on a fresh set and then a fresh set of clothes. Loki stood up when Tony made his way back outside to the porch.
He found himself sitting staring out at the surroundings of Stark Tower. His heart skipped a beat when he eyed the Loki sitting in front of him. The hair was short again (freshly cut by the look of it) his skin held color, and he had put on a few pounds. He was healthy. A small thing glittered on his hand and Loki looked down at a silvery band on his finger. Tony sat down next to Loki who was still in his pajamas, they were on a swing that had only had one large beam above it and two on the side supporting it.
"Go change so we can go." Tony said, his arm was thrown over Loki's shoulder.
"But where are we going Anthony? You've yet to tell me that."
"You'll see Loki, you'll see. Just go get dressed, I've got the bags in the car already."
"Oh fine!" Loki jumped up, his slippers made a soft shuffling sound against the concret of the ledge. Tony looked at him until he left, but a wide smile was etched along his face. He got more comfortable in his seat and looked at the sky. It was forget-me-not blue but gray clouds threatened to come if he looked to the west.
"Anthony!" The other Loki yelled from the bedroom, Tony got up and went in. Loki followed. The other was in jeans, a black shirt, a plaid shirt, and a pair of lace up place boots. "Am I dressed right?"
"Yeah, come on let's go." He grabbed a phone and its charger from a nearby table ("Don't even think about leaving your phone Loki.") and Loki followed suit. He pocketed it and Tony walked behind him with a sigh and grabbed the charger.
"This is why I pack." He said rolling it up with his own and carrying these to the garage.
"I don't see why I have to bring it though Anthony when I barely know how to use it." He walked over to a black car. He opened his door and sat down inside, buckling his seat belt and taking off his shoes almost immediately after. Tony sat down in the driver side heavily and smiled at Loki.
"Everytime we go some where even if its close by you do that." Loki's brows rose in the air and he opened his mouth to say something. Loki didn't hear it.
"Hey, Loki, Loki! Are you alright?" Tony was rubbing his arm lightly, Loki woke up with a start. "Hey, hey, settle down. What's wrong?" Loki looked around the room, it was dark still, save the Arc Reactor. "Loki, are you alright?"
"Yes! Yes I am fine." He said too quickly, Tony gave him a quizzical look, but said nothing. Just continued to rub Loki's arm as best he could to comfort him.
"Come on, let's go get you something to drink." Tony got out from under the blankets and pulled on his pants, Loki did the same but slower, he wasn't scared or shaking from this dream but his stomach was warm with thought that it might happen. He didn't say anything to Tony about it just followed him to a kitchen.
Loki sat down on a barstool and used one hand to support his head while the other one he put on his forearm. Tony shuffled around in the kitchen looking for two classes.
