(The Avengers).: To have not:.(Iron Man/Tony Stark)“I have an army.”
“We have a Hulk.”
Tony Stark was on borrowed time.
He didn’t know exactly what he had up his sleeve, but he was damn sure that it would be effective.
I don't know about any others out there but I was under the impression that Stark had some inkling of what he had in mind when he went to confront Loki.He snatched up his glass cup filled half-way with brandy before taking a few steps towards the psychopath known as Loki.
His brown eyes were trained on him just as Loki had opened his mouth to retort to Tony’s claim.
“I thought the beast had—”
The elevator leading up to the floor they were on dinged once before you stepped out. Both men turned to look at you while you were preoccupied with fingering through the dry cleaning. Once you were sure all four suits were there, you glanced up in time to see that your employer and a strange man were looking right at you.
This is supposed to be funny isn't it? Protip to any up and coming writers out there, this type of scenario is never funny. It's contrived and forced.Tony’s features dropped and his eyes were now burning a hole straight through you. Meanwhile, the mystery man simply gazed at you in subtle curiosity.
Just a thought but whatever happened to Pepper Pots? Considering she does pretty much everything for Stark that would essentially include his dry cleaning and thus this makes this scene even more contrived.“[F.name], what are you doing here?” Tony asked, his tone taking on the irritation he felt.
Tony must be aware he's stuck in a bad Sueshot. Good man!You held up your left hand which presented his four best suits hanging from your fingers. “It’s dry cleaning day. You know, the day I go and pick it up.”
“That’s today?” You nodded. “Alright, drop them there and get out.”
Your brows furrowed in confusion. “Why? Aren’t you just interviewing this guy for a play about you or something? Though, why is he wearing that shade of green? What happened to the red and gold color scheme you had going on?”
... Why in the hell would anyone make a play about Tony Stark? Yes, we know he's Iron Man in-universe and out but that doesn't mean he'd be wasting time on things like plays and the like. And why would an interviewer, which you just claimed you think Loki is, be dressed in Tony's signature color scheme? And again, why would you think someone dressed in a cape is interviewing anyone for anything?
See all those questions? Yeah, it just goes to prove my point in that this type of scene is completely pointless and contrived and serves no purpose. It's not even funny.It was then that Tony lifted his hand to pinch the bridge of his nose. A clear sign that indicated he was annoyed.
The man still stood there staring at you; although this time it appeared he was amused with the scene taking place.
I think, under the given circumstances, Loki would be just as aggravated at the newcomer as Tony is. Unless of course he is also self-aware and is amused that he's not the one being subjected to a poorly written Sue sucking the life out of him.You made a small noise in the back of your throat as Tony suddenly rushed up to you, shoved the glass in your free hand, and snatched his dry cleaning from the other. It was then he forced a smile, though his eyes gave a clear indication that he wanted you gone.
“Do you see that guy right there?” He gestured his head towards the man in the robes.
“I do.”
“Best case scenario? He tosses you out the window
and I go jumping out after you.”
That would be an amazing scenario at the moment. I'm already tired of this mindless drek.You slowly nodded in understanding. “…So, he’s not part of a play based on you, Mister Stark?”
“No, he’s in the long line of potential warlords ready to take over earth.” Tony’s tone of voice was laced with cynicism.
We're in a crisis situation and the dumb shit is wasting time that Tony needs all for the sake of forced humor that isn't even funny. And considering we're still not towards the end yet this is going to keep going.When you looked over at the man again, you noticed that he was now growing impatient with the disturbance you had caused. You could tell because he was eying you while occasionally throwing a glance towards the glass windows.
“He doesn’t look like a warlord. He’s wearing hisgrandmother’s drapes for Christ’s sake!”
Now she's blatantly stealing Tony's jokes! That's not cute, interesting or good! That's bad and lazy writing!“Bye, Miss [L.name]!” By this time Tony was gently moving you towards the elevator.
“Are you sure you’ll be alright?”
“I can’t believe you’re even asking that.”
You placed a hand on his chest in a feeble attempt to slow him down. “You know what I mean! You’ll need someone to clean up the place which will end up being me!”
So she's not even worried about Tony's well-being at all?Tony was on the verge of tossing you out the window himself.
And we would all cheer and hail him as even more of a hero than he already is, I assure you.He suppressed a sigh, threw the dry cleaning to the floor, and took hold of you by your shoulders. He gave them a gentle squeeze before winking at you.
“I’ll be fine. Tell you what; I’ll sneak into your room later on, lay the moves on you, and hope for the best.”
Just as he leaned over and called for the elevator, he was suddenly snatched by the back of his shirt and tossed out of the glass window.
Loki has become Tony's savior and he doesn't even know it! He just saved Tony from the fate of having the Sue's claws sunk into him and draining him of even more lifeforce and characterization!You stood there, your eyes wide in fear, as your hand slowly covered your mouth. Loki then turned his attention to you with a look of smug satisfaction on his face while he twisted his staff in one hand.
“Were you still speaking with him?” Your eyes darted to him, and you slowly removed your hand from your mouth. “If you’d like, you may stay and watch the festivities. I truly enjoy having an audience watching my every move in undisturbed awe.”
Single most best ending and not in the way the author intended either. It's only amazing because Loki single-handedly thwarted the Sue and gloated in her face! Oki, I can totally see why you like Loki now.
