[ loki rolls his eyes. ]

Only a little of it.

[brooklyn_boy]

[Steve stretches his fingers out and back in again as though testing it out. Turning away from Loki he extends his hand and tries to draw once more.

They're a rosy red burst of color and then nothing.]

I didn't know you could share this....

[dothelokimotion]

[ his expression softens, just a touch. ]

It's how I gained my magic. My mother passed it onto me.

[brooklyn_boy]

No wonder it's so important to you.

[He touches his chest where Loki had.]

Does it go back to you? When it's done with me?

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki nods slowly. ]

Eventually, yes. Your soul isn't used to storing that kind of power.

[brooklyn_boy]

My soul...

[He keeps his hand there as though he could feel both the magic and his soul. Of course he can't really feel either.]

What else can I do? I've never...had magic before. Do I need to be careful?

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki just looks vaguely amused. ]

If you think you're going to be able to shoot lightning blasts or fly, you're sorely mistaken.

[brooklyn_boy]

I'll leave that up to you and Thor.

[Still, he extends his hand again, pausing as he thinks about what he wants to do. But a second later he drops it.]

Can you show me something else?

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki blinks. ]

Such as?

[brooklyn_boy]

Surprise me?

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki mulls this over before a smirk appears on his face, a slow blossom. he twirls and his costume changes into this ]

Ta-dah!

[brooklyn_boy]

[That surprises a laugh out of Steve. He walks closer and touches the fabric of Loki's new outfit experimentally.]

Looks good on you, Lok. I knew you wanted to be an Avenger, deep down.

[dothelokimotion]

[ ew gross. loki makes a face at that. ]

Certainly not. That would be the equivalent of losing taste, not gaining some.

[brooklyn_boy]

Are you sure? Could always use a sidekick...

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki crosses his arms. ]

I beat you in a fight single-handedly. If anything, you should be my sidekick.

[brooklyn_boy]

[Unbothered.]

Oh yeah? And what name do you have for me? Mischief Man?

[dothelokimotion]

Why is a name necessary? I don't have a gaudy superhero name.

[brooklyn_boy]

[Eyeroll.]

You could just go along with a joke instead of ruining it.

[dothelokimotion]

You could work on your jokes.

[brooklyn_boy]

[Steve laughs and gives Loki a small shove.]

I'm hilarious, thank you. Not my fault you don't get it.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki pinches his shoulder as payback. ]

And it's not mine. A good joke surpasses all barriers of culture.

[brooklyn_boy]

Hey!

[Steve gives him a light smack on the shoulder.]

And okay. Go ahead. Tell a culture-surpassing joke.

[dothelokimotion]

Those only come with opportunity. You cannot simply produce one at will.

[brooklyn_boy]

The God of Mischief says that?

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki tuts. ]

The God of Mischief doesn't create opportunity. He finds it and seizes it when necessary.
