The theme of this will be hurt/comfort (from Tony and Loki's pasts), with a romantic focus. Polyamory is acceptable and encouraged, with minimal jealousy (not a focus, though there should be some present). Tony and Loki can and should hold some attraction to each other.

This is set just after the Chitauri Invasion. Thanos was controlling Loki, Loki is now trying to make reparations for the invasion (Loki is a victim, people are skeptical but relatively accepting of this). Loki is not a prisoner, but also not trusted.

Terra is an enhanced/mutant (X-men style) with powerful magic. She can do telekinesis with relative ease, but is still in the discovery process of her own abilities. Terra, due to her incredible power, is under SHIELD observation - not a prisoner, but they don't allow her to freely roam around. She is offered the option to work with the Avengers and Loki under Steve Roger's command/authority (Terra is essentially a safeguard against Loki's magic). Tony has already agreed to house the Avengers and Loki and, after some prodding by Fury, agrees to house her as well.

Tony and Loki are very similar in a lot of ways (wordsmithing, manipulation, putting on a mask). They both might have insecurities, but they're locked behind a front of confidence. Neither would be shy, both confident of their physical appearance and attractiveness. Both are known for being a little slutty (usually one-night stands sort of thing).

Loki finds her magic fascinating, though he wouldn't admit it out loud. It is green like his when she uses it, though it manifests very differently. Where he is illusion focused, she is more physical and she is mostly able to use telekinesis (for now). As he warms up to her, he slowly begins testing her magic and teaching her how to do other things. Their relationship deepens as they start doing collaborative magic.

Tony finds all of it fascinating and wants to study both her and Loki, but she is more willing to participate (because she is also interested, and he promises not to just treat her like a lab rat as SHIELD would if she allowed them to do research on her powers). Their relationship deepens as Tony recognizes the scholar in Terra, the urge to know and understand more, including more of the less magical things (she's initially shy, but can't help but ask questions). Tony appreciates her sharp intellect and curiosity.

The corridor feels narrower than it is, fluorescent lights humming like distant bees. Steve sets a brisk pace, shield slung across his back, every footfall precise—he’s already running tactical maps in his head. Natasha glides just behind you, close enough to intercept, far enough not to crowd; her reflection keeps showing up in the polished wall panels, unreadable.

Tony strolls ahead, hands in pockets, humming something that might be AC/DC. Without turning he asks the ceiling, “JARVIS, prep the quinjet for six plus one muzzled godling. And tell the Tower to unlock the east guest wing—label it ‘potentially volatile, do not taunt.’”

Loki walks alone, no escort, but the two armed agents trailing the group keep their distance from him, not you. His steps are silent; green-tinged mist curls lazily around his fingertips, then vanishes when he notices you watching. He lifts an eyebrow—invitation or challenge, impossible to tell.

Clint punches the elevator call button twice. “So, wild magic, huh? You do party tricks? Saw a guy once pull a rabbit out of a hat. Prefer explosions myself.”

Bruce adjusts his glasses. “Clint means he’s curious. We all are. Just… no pressure.”

The elevator doors slide open with a soft chime. Tony gestures you in first, exaggerated gallantry. “Ground floor, penthouse, and dimensional rift—this lift does it all.” Inside, the walls are mirrored; everyone’s reflection multiplies into an awkward infinity.

Loki’s eyes meet yours in the glass for a heartbeat, then flick away. Steve clears his throat. “Tower’s secure. You’ll have your own floor. If you need anything—”

“—there’s a intercom that goes straight to me,” Tony finishes. “Or to JARVIS, who’ll tattle to me. Privacy settings optional.”

The elevator begins its ascent toward the roof pad, a soft acceleration pushing everyone’s stomachs down a notch. Natasha finally speaks, voice low. “First rule up there: nobody disappears without telling the rest of us. Magic, tech, or plain old ninja exit. Clear?”

Loki smirks at the ceiling. “I’ll be sure to send a handwritten note.” Loki stands off to the side, wrists still bruised from whatever enchanted restraints they used this morning. Green eyes flick toward you, sharp and curious, but his mouth stays shut. A faint shimmer of seidr curls around his fingers—testing, tasting. He doesn’t smile.

Tony’s drum stops. “Cute. You’re handing us a mystery box with legs and a death glare. Did we run out of nuclear warheads to play with?” Steve’s jaw tightens. “Stark.”

“What? I like to read the warning labels before I plug things in.” Tony pushes off the wall, sunglasses tilting your direction. “So, Wildheart—do you come with a manual, or are we doing this the fun way?”

Natasha’s voice is silk over steel. “If she’s a weapon, I want the safety demonstration.” Bruce finally looks up, mild but measuring. “Everyone’s safer if we skip the demonstrations.”

Clint whistles, low. “Magic, right? I can smell ozone from here. Smells like… trouble and burnt plastic.”

Loki’s quiet chuckle is almost affectionate. “Your Midgardian noses are so adorably limited.”

Fury claps once, sharp. “Enough. Wheels up in twenty. Tower’s ready. You’ll get the full brief once we’re off-site.” He turns to you, tone flat. “Any questions before we move you?” The conference room feels heavier than usual, thick with the weight of suspicion and unspoken judgment. The Avengers are gathered around the polished table, each taking their place with varying levels of patience. Loki sits apart, cuffs off but presence sharp enough to draw attention whether wanted or not. His expression hovers between disdain and boredom, though his eyes flicker with calculation at every shift in the room.

Fury enters with you at his side. His voice is clipped, efficient. "This is Terra Wildheart. She’s under SHIELD observation, but she’ll be working with the Avengers from this point forward. Think of her as… insurance. Against certain magical contingencies.”

Steve leans forward slightly, assessing you with the steady neutrality of a soldier sizing up an ally. Natasha’s eyes flick over you once, quick and clinical, already cataloging strengths and weaknesses. Clint lounges but doesn’t miss a beat, his gaze too sharp to be lazy. Bruce looks uneasy, his fingers drumming against the table as though already considering what uncontrolled power could mean.

Tony breaks the silence first, his tone casual but his eyes lingering a little too long. “So Fury’s handing us another wildcard. Great. Just what we needed—keeps life interesting, right?”

Loki’s lips twitch upward, not quite a smile, more like a private amusement. He doesn’t speak, but his gaze settles on you, lingering at the green glow of restrained power, and for once he looks intrigued rather than defensive. The room waits, every gaze fixed on you, as Fury takes a step back—leaving the moment open.
