Belling the Cat

[OOC: Continued from here

Hello, Bruce, did you miss me?

[He's manspreading on the nearest chair, appearing there only a second before in black roiling space and eldritch blue energy. With a neat little gesture, Loki tucked the Tesseract back into his pocket dimension. He looked no worse for wear after a rather extended meeting with the King of Asgard. Pleasant person, that Valkyrie. He rather owed Bruce for this particular blind introduction.]

Or do you prefer Brulk now? Hulce? We never did nail down those particulars and I would hate not to use your preferred manner of address.

[He's smiling with teeth as he moves onto the unpleasant part. Another flick of his wrist and there's the control device.]

I've brought you a gift. Do text my generous King, long may she reign, to let her know it arrived safely.

[And there's the smile turning into a baring of teeth, just the flash of a silent snarl before Loki just looks generally congenial again.]

[Yes, it says that Bruce mostly tries to be a decent hum— a decent person.

By the time Loki returns with his drink, Bruce has finished reading the contract and picked up his sweater and awl again. He really had been working on repairing it before, but now he’s using it to cover how furiously his mind is working on the problem of his being Loki’s fucking keeper.]


When we were on Sakaar, she beat the crap out of you and chained you up in her apartment. [He glances up and adds] And not in any way you found fun. So there might be a little history.

The only thing I’m completely sure of with you is how little I trust you.

[But he’s reasonably sure that Loki didn’t like it all that much.]

She was there first, then me, then you, then Thor. I don’t know about most of your time there, but at least some of it was spent getting the codes to the Grandmaster’s orgy ship.

[Which... was a thing Bruce generally preferred not to dwell on. He occasionally still wants to wash his hands when he thinks of the Commodore.]

The rational, shirt-wearing man you see before you came about through my own work here on Earth.

Where are you staying?
hulkbusted: (prof - serious - huhhh)

[personal profile] hulkbusted 2019-08-13 04:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[Bruce is strong enough to bear the negligible weight of that guilt.]

The lack of trust is why I need to know where you're staying.

Address?

[He's definitely too focused at the moment for proper banter. Loki's just stuck with Business Hulk.]

And how are you paying for it?
hulkbusted: (prof - surprise - whoa)

[personal profile] hulkbusted 2019-08-13 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[The fuck you just say?]

And how are you paying for it?

[He's going to need that barrel of ale in a minute.]
hulkbusted: (prof - ambivalent - embarrassed)

[personal profile] hulkbusted 2019-08-13 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[Siiiiigh. He taps his phone and says:]

Call Val.
hulkbusted: (prof - smile - snark)

[personal profile] hulkbusted 2019-08-13 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[Bruce's phone, on the other hand, is starting to ring, having taken his voice command to call Val.

He hangs up and smirks at Loki.]


You were saying?
hulkbusted: (prof - smile - smug)

[personal profile] hulkbusted 2019-08-13 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
She knows better.

[She helped train him, after all.]
hulkbusted: (prof - ambivalent - irked)

[personal profile] hulkbusted 2019-08-13 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
You're giving me your address anyway.

[And he'll be looking.]
hulkbusted: (prof - serious - uh)

[personal profile] hulkbusted 2019-08-13 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[Whereas Bruce has settled into "don't like it? leave the planet" as a calming mindset.]

You signed the agreement. You're lucky none of us are trying to make your death stick this time.
hulkbusted: (prof - serious - making a point)

[personal profile] hulkbusted 2019-08-13 10:19 pm (UTC)(link)
If you're counting on my friendship with Thor to save your face, I wouldn't.

[He leaves the room and comes back with a mug the size of a pony keg that he takes a swig from before setting it on the table and taking up his sweater repair again.]

In the future I want you to check in with me daily between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. in whatever time zone is local to me at the time.

[He holds up a finger.]

Earth time zones according to the local populace.
hulkbusted: (hulk - butt)

[personal profile] hulkbusted 2019-08-13 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[Loki is probably the inspiration for a number of law-twisting tricksters in Earth mythology.]

If you decide your check-in should come while I'm in the shower, I'm not responsible for your eyes or imagination.
hulkbusted: (prof - ambivalent - irked)

[personal profile] hulkbusted 2019-08-13 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
If you feel like it, they will.

[If he pops up while Bruce is getting his Hulk on, Loki will be lucky not to be counted as one of his problems to smash.]

If you show up and I'm having sex, leave a note for your check-in and get out.

[Hey, there are Hulk groupies...]
