An Earthly Scandal

Adjusting Back.

"I was a heavy heart to carry
My beloved was weighed down
My arms around his neck
My fingers laced to crown.
        I was a heavy heart to carry
My feet dragged across ground
And he took me to the river
Where he slowly let me drown
        My love has concrete feet
My love's an iron ball
Wrapped around your ankles
Over the waterfall..."

Loki lifted his head after a few minutes and sniffed aloud, Tony was still there, but he was staring out the window at New York. Another version of himself was standing there with excited eyes and glowing green hands. Again, his wardrobe had changed from the metal and leather of Asgard with long hair to short hair with bangs to boots, black jeans that were very tight and a green shirt with black sleeves. Good, he still had his colors.

"You look excited." Said Tony, Loki nodded and jumped up. He was absolutely giddy by the sight of it. Loki laughed at himself as he shook his balled up fists in the air.

"Oh I am Anthony! I positively am!" Loki cried and spun around on one foot before running and jumping onto the couch next to Tony.

"Its not a big deal."

"What do you mean its not a big deal?!" Loki asked, and he grabbed onto Tony. "I am so excited, sweet Odin so excited!" He snuggled into Tony's arm.

"Its Doctor Who Loki, calm down before you piss yourself."

"I am not a child, I won't wet myself. But you said it yourself Anthony, its Doctor Who! I've been waiting forever for it to come back on." Tony laughed.

"You sound like a teenage girl!" Tony said pulling Loki onto his lap.

"Big deal Anthony, I'm just really excited OK? If your not gonna care no sex." Loki said this with a straight face and Tony looked scandalized.

"No sex?! Are you kidding me?" Tony yelled and Loki's face contorted into a large smile.

"Bazinga."

"I told you not to watch the Big Bang Theory didn't I?"

"I watched it anyways, that Sheldon fellow is very funny and Penny reminds me of Thor and Steven." Tony's face turned red and he burst into laughter.

"You're terrible!"

"I'm a Trickster God, its in my nature."

"And thank god for that."

"Oh you're just saying that because I help you with your projects and pranking people."

"No, it helps me because whenever Steve's friend Bucky is in town you can let me know so I can say: Winter is coming! before he walks into the room. Its genius." Loki slapped his arm softly but sprung onto his feet.

"What time is it?"

"Uh-8:30, Loki, you check with me like every five minutes calm down."

"I can't!"

"Then I need to find a way to get that extra energy out of you." Said Tony, Loki looked at him and put his hands on his hips.

"Not right now Anthony, maybe after its over."

"Bullshit, you're gonna be up all night thinking about it."
