A Tale of Mischief and Mutants

Screwy

—-Sam—-

Loki left the house looking extremely nervous, he's been nervous a lot lately. I can tell he's planning something but I haven't figured out what it is I know if he wanted me to know he would have just told me so I don't ask. I just hope it's nothing too bad. I understand he can't help but make a little trouble sometimes I just hope it's only mischievousness and not anything malicious.

He's been known to cause trouble from time to time even after he joined the Avengers. Nothing violent or actually that dangerous just annoying like getting rid of all the chairs in the conference room in the hellicarier, putting a red article of clothing in with a load of white shield uniforms, or illegally entering the Smithsonian just to move the displays around to cause confusion (I'm still the only one that knows he's responsible for that one).

The point is the things he does to cause trouble are extreme pranks not anything exactly super villain level. I don't think I should be too concerned. I kinda let myself forget about how sus he's been acting up until he gets home looking genuinely giddy.

"So... What did you do?"

He stops dead in his tracks for a moment his smile disappearing as if he's been caught. He quickly recovers with one of his smooth smiles.

"Whatever do you mean?"

"You've been up to something. What did you do this time? Reorganize the books in the library of Congress? Switch artwork around in the Louvre Museum? Inflate a bouncy castle inside the Sistine Chapel? Steal the Declaration of Independence? What?"

He chuckles at my more ridiculous questions.

"None of those though you've given me a few ideas."

"Well what did you do then?!"

He smiles mischievously.

"You'll just have to wait and see mortal."

I pout. Dang it he's not gonna tell me.

"Next time you cause trouble I want in on the action."

"Of course my dear."

'My dear'? He doesn't usually call me by pet names like that. Something real screwy's going on and I'll eventually figure it out. I smile at him in suspicion. I'll let this slide for now.

——————————————————-

The pet name thing hasn't stopped it's been almost a month now and he often calls me things like love, darling, dear, exedra. I can't say I'm not partial to these new pet names but I don't know why he suddenly started doing that. Every time I get suspicious and confront him he gives me absolutely nothing. I don't really know what's gotten into him but I kind of like it.
