A Tale of Mischief and Mutants part 2

"Loki don't leave! ... Loki don't..."

Thor calls after his brother as he angrily gets up to leave the room. Loki continues to leave shaking his head in anger. Thor looks after him desperately as he shuts the door.

"Loooookiiiii!! I LOVE YOU!!"

Loki pops his head back in the room still looking angry.

"No I'm done! I'M FUCKING DONE!"

I'm genuinely surprised, Cap would be mortified. My potty mouth must be rubbing off on him. I knew he'd get angry but I expected Elizabethan era profanities at the worst. Thor tries to convince him not to leave beckoning him back.

"No you're not!"

Loki reluctantly comes into the room to try again he fails.

"THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE!! WHAT IS THIS?! WHAT IS MY LIFE?!"

Loki stands up again and yells to his brother in frustration.

"I CAN'T DO IT THOR!!"

Thor agrees trying to calm Loki down.

"I can't either!"

"I CAN'T DO IT!"

"I tell you what Loki, YOU CAN GIVE UP NOW OR YOU CAN STICK IT OUT! BECAUSE I CERTAINLY CAN'T DO IT WITHOUT YOU, AND I KNOW YOU CAN'T DO IT WITHOUT ME!!"

Loki slightly composes himself but quickly looses it again.

"I appreciate it, BUT LOOK WHAT WE'RE DEALING WITH BROTHER!!"

Thor tries again to calm him down.

"Loki-"

"-YOU HAVE TO DRAW THE LINE SOMEWHERE!"

"Loki-"

"-YOU HAVE TO DRAW A LINE IN THE SAND, YOU HAVE TO MAKE A STATEMENT!! YOU HAVE TO LOOK INSIDE YOURSELF AND SAY 'What am I willing to put up with today?' NOT FUCKING THIS!!"

Loki throws his controller on the floor as his character continues to glitch out due to his mistake. The game we're playing has a couple bugs but works just fine as long as you don't do certain things. Loki has managed to do every single one of them. At this point I'm in tears with laughter as is pretty much everyone else though Thor's really trying not to laugh so he doesn't make Loki even more mad at his inability to play the game properly.

It's been a couple weeks and I had convinced Loki to come hang out with myself, Thor, Korg, Miek, and Peter during a play session to take a break from wedding planning. I see now why he refused to play before he gets really heated especially when the game doesn't work correctly. He sits back down in a huff and crosses his arms. Thor restarts the game and picks Loki's controller off the floor he holds it towards him looking apologetic.

"I think both of us got a little heated and maybe we should apologize to each other."

Loki takes the controller back and responds nonchalantly now sounding completely composed.

'It's because we're in a lava stage."

Thor bursts out with laughter.

"You just come back all calm?! 'It's because we're in a lava stage.'"

Peter laughs over Discord. He's probably capturing some great material for his channel right now and I don't think Loki realizes he'll be making a guest appearance. I'm not really inclined to tell him either his hilarious fit of rage will only endear him to people. We go back to less rage filled playing. Peter tries to change the topic.

"Sooo anyway... Sam are you still coming to New York for dress shopping with all your bridesmaids?"

Over the weeks I had finally decided on two more bridesmaids Sif and Wanda, both said yes and will be shopping with me and the others tomorrow. We haven't really had any real missions since Galactus people are probably just grateful to be alive and it'll be a little while before they start making trouble again. I'm dreading our first mission without Tony there's going to be a lot of silence where Tony would usually fill it in by saying something stupid.

"Yes."

"If you feel like it you should come hang out after. I know Loki has a thing with Strange off world tomorrow so I thought you'd wanna be with me instead of bored at home."

"Yeah sounds fun Pete."

We continue playing. When Loki gets angry again he decides its best he sit the rest of the game out. I'm mildly disappointed he's hilarious and oh so adorable when he's mad especially when he gets all pouty. He may act like a brat sometimes but I love him. I know he's not actually that shallow just sensitive and has a lot of pent up rage.

When he's yelling at Luigi for failing to jump at the right time (despite that being entirely his own fault) he's probably actually letting off steam about something far more stressful that he's tried to suppress feeling anything about. I think it's a good thing for him to express this emotion rather than bottle it up. I'm really happy today it's been fun. I'm so excited to find my dress tomorrow. Everything with the wedding seems to have gone smoothly so far.
