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.

[brooklyn_boy]

What I learned in church... [He smirks up at Loki, not moving from where he was, poking once at his chest.] was that gods can do anything.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki hums at that, dark eyelashes fluttering against his pale skin. ]

Anything and everything is a high bar. We're not omniscient or all-powerful. We are . . . forces of nature.

[brooklyn_boy]

[Well. That's certainly a way to say it. Steve looks up at Loki, quiet as he takes in all that the other man is. The playfulness fades into something more serious but just as warm.]

Yeah. Yeah, I'd say that's right.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki tilts his head, unreadable. ]

Do you believe it?

[brooklyn_boy]

That you're a force of nature?

[He smiles lightly]

I could think of a few things that you are. But yeah, I believe that.

[dothelokimotion]

[ he cocks an eyebrow at that. ]

Such as?

[brooklyn_boy]

I'd tell you but you'd just argue with me.
