Peter Parker: -on meeting Loki, offers his hand- Hi, I’m Peter!
Loki: -shakes his hand- Loki of Asgard.
Peter: Aren’t you like…a bad guy?
Loki: It varies from moment to moment.
Peter: So like…on a scale of one to ten, ten being the worst evil imaginable, like…killing puppies, and one being I’ll spit on your hotdog…where are you right now?
Loki: …maybe a three?
Peter: Cool. Lemme know if it gets above a six.
Loki: -thinking- I like him.
It had been a joke, a flippant line, but somehow, Loki found himself taking the youth up on it.
It was hard living around these heroic Avengers, hard trying to stay close to Thor. And when he felt his need for mischief rise too high, when he felt exasperation with these Midgardians turn too close to spite, he would casually say “Six.” to the young man, or sometimes “Seven.”
And Peter would spend the rest of his day with Loki. He would badger him with questions about magic, or drag him across his beloved city to see its entertainments, or take him along stopping petty crimes. He grounded Loki to the here and now, and distracted him from the churning, jagged shards of ice in his mind.
so uh…if you couldn’t tell, i’m really enjoying tales of suspense and it just cracks me up every time tony plugs his armor into a two-prong wall outlet
and thus this utterly ridiculous comic was born
People need to appreciate plugged in chestplate Tony more I love this
I mean, seriously. Did you just see him disarm – heh – The Winter freakin Soldier in a single gauntlet and a damn three piece suit? And the little smirk when he takes the gun apart?
I definitely headcanon that Winter would remember this moment with a grudging awe. And maybe some feelings in his pants.
Tony Stark is BAMF in and out of the armor.
I love this scene. Those moves were so slick! The WS has dropped agents by the bunch, and a three piece suit asigned as non combatant disarms him (and delays him about as much as a former Red Room graduate).
Very nice reminder that Tony know his guns, and is far from helpless out of armor
Things I love about this gifset:
Tony Stark hop-skipping into an “I-brought-a-three-piece-suit-and-a-coolio-watch-to-a-gunfight” confrontation with the Winter Soldier
Tony Stark: The Smirk™
Tony Stark in general, love me the whole-ass man–
My favorite part of this bit?
Tony knows so very well that he isn’t a match in strength to this guy so instead of straight up hand to hand he goes after him like Nat, but he lacks her flexibility and combat prowess so he can’t confront him head on like her either.
So tony uses buckys own momentum against him, pivoting his arm in arcs back and forth to disperse any forward thrust Bucky could get to throw him immediately. He creates his own openings to get in buckys personal space by keeping his arm straight at the elbow to push it out of his way at the shoulder letting him past buckys deadly hands. Obviously this doesn’t last but its a really good snippet of tonys serious actual martial arts training (you can really see this in those gifs of rdj practicing wing chun with his trainer on the wooden standees)
Stark Tower has literally got the best wifi in the whole of New York and Tony makes it free as well so sometimes he’ll walk out of the ground floor and just see like a dozen or so people, usually kids, just sat on the doorstep on their phones or laptops and like it’s such a little thing to do but yknow. He’s Ironman. Give the kids some damn fast wifi.
okay BUT
the day after actual tony stark saw them hanging out in frony of the Tower, some of the kids were reluctant to go back there but God they had to finish their homework and the tower was on their way from school so they go back there and
theres a separate room that surely mustve been some important part of the lobby yesterday but now had a “Free WiFi Zone” plate on the door. Inside were huge sofas and armchairs and beanbags, fridges stocked with various drinks, a coffee maker and 20ish iron man mugs, a couple of laptops on the desk near the wall and a note for them to read:
“This is your part of the Tower now. Use whatever you need, no time limit, and stay in school kids 🙂 – T. S.”
Being reminded of this as a queer adult is so wild because you realize some very overt shit. Like, Bobby emits ice from his whole body. Grabbing the bottle was enough! In fact, he didn’t even have to grab the bottle, a simple poke would have worked or he could have shot ice from a distant. Him blowing on this bottle was 3000% overt flirting and honestly the gayest thing I’ve probably ever seen a mutant use their powers for and Wolverine was here for it all and no one will tell me differently.
It’s that eye contact
Wow, who knew wolverine was trade
The sexual tension was off the charts
Read some comics hoe he been alive for eva and his dick is for the people.
