She was familar with that look that she got. There was a lecture in her future.

She's glad to hear that things have been somewhat sorted and they get to leave.

"I love the portals." She says with a little wave as she steps through it and back into the hallway of her apartment building.

"Yes they are rather convenient." Loki murmured as he followed, with Dr. Strange bringing up the rear.

"Behave yourself, Trickster!" Sif called, but any response wouldn't come as Stephen closed the portal. "Well, that was certainly exciting..." He didn't sound happy.

"They also didn't give you a copy of the flash-drive." Loki said. "Fortunately, I have another I can make easily enough."

From:

drpalmer

"Stephen, I'm so sorry you got dragged into all that." She genuinely feels bad, knowing how busy he is.

She finally extends a mental reach to Loki to brush against his mind.

From:

whose_son_am_i

She is welcomed, and her touch is cradled and held warmly. You are alright? I assure you I can make them suffer in ways they won't connect with you or me.

"If you don't mind, just 5 more minutes Sorcerer, and I'll have that drive for you." Loki said, opening the door. Stephen just frowned but didn't seem surprised by it. "It's alright, Christine. This is important, and I'd rather have been there than been worrying." Following them into the apartment, he also didn't blink at Loki's workstation set up. 'Eric' sat down at the computer, and pulled out another flash-drive. It took less than 2 minutes to transfer the files, before he was passing it to Dr. Strange and leaning hipshot against the table.

"Can any lectures wait some other time? They're probably as boring as the interrogation was." Crossing his arms with only a hint of impatience.

"I think they can wait for another time." Stephen pocketed the flash drive. "Try not to cause too much trouble that requires clean-up, okay?"

"I make you no promises." Loki replied dryly.

"Christine, take care. Think about an area or two to concentrate your studies in, and I'll see about helping you make the most of your time."

From:

drpalmer

I'm okay. A bit hurt despite knowing you were lying.

She steps into the apartment and laughs.

"Did you actually rearrange furniture while I was working?" After the turn of the evening, the moved furniture is ridiculously funny.

"Thank you, for all your help." She sees Stephen out and closes the door behind him.

From:

whose_son_am_i

As soon as they're alone, the disguise is once more dropped. Moving over to Christine, he reaches out for her hands. Bringing them up to kiss her knuckles. "Half-truths, as that's more effective. But they don't get to know the whole story. Only you do." ...Sweetling, If no one has told you yet--emotions do not lie. One can lie about what they're feeling, but that doesn't mean they aren't feeling it.

It was giving her an advantage over him. "I'm also annoyed that they took your lovely flowers. I chose those for a reason."

From:

drpalmer

She takes his hands, it was still difficult to hear and it had hurt her. But she is strong.

"And what meanings were those? Aside from being different from the normal flowers people pick." It had been a very unique bouquet.

From:

whose_son_am_i

Leaning his forehead against hers, one hand came up to brush her cheek. It bothered him that she was hurt, and he was responsible. It was a new feeling for Loki...

"You'll have to figure that out, won't you?" He said softly. Before sending her targeted emotions. Affection and fondness, still preferring her company--whether intimate or not. Admiration and pride in her, a jealous possessive-protectiveness. Loneliness that she soothed. You already know the passion is real.

From:

drpalmer

His emotions aren't lies, especially not when she can feel them this strongly. She finally gives in and wraps her arms around him fully.

"He didn't even punch himself" she whines. They were going to have a nice evening and it all went wrong.

From:

whose_son_am_i

He blinked, and wrapped his arms around her. Keeping that tight hold before picking her up just enough to move them to the couch. Settling on it with her still wrapped in a hug. "Now who didn't punch who and how did I miss it?"

From:

drpalmer

"I tried to make Coulson punch himself. He just sort of smacked himself."

And while it doesn't make sense for that to be what is triggering her sadness, it has.

From:

whose_son_am_i

"Oh Sweetling..." Murmured somewhere between laughter at the idea, and comfort for her. Loki clearly did not like that she was upset, folding her closer. Murmuring soothing sounds against her hair. "Was that the first time you've tried to manipulate someone other than me that way?"

From:

drpalmer

"Yes." She is absolutely wrapped around him. The poor woman needs a few minutes to be a mess before she's back to normal.

From:

whose_son_am_i

"That you got him to smack himself, on your first try, is still impressive." Stroking her hair, moving her so she could hear his heart or bury herself in his shoulder. "You really are learning at an incredible rate; more than I thought most humans could." Maybe it was his influence, or her Sorcerer, or some combination of their influence. It was still impressive and special to her.

"As much as I can understand their reasoning, they still were absolutely rude. I doubt Sif was aware of their plans either, as she's more direct."

From:

drpalmer

"Sif didn't know. She was absolutely appalled that I was brought in just to watch that."

The sound of his heart is comforting and familiar.

"You said it was half-truths, which parts were true?"

From:

whose_son_am_i

"Everything but you being a convenience." With a little kiss by her ear. "But you did do me a kindness. You are amusing and I enjoy our banter and conversation. You are far too kind, and you let me take advantage of it."

From:

drpalmer

She nods, all of that is true.

Christine is feeling a bit better, she isn't one to wallow for very long.

"I'm hungry. We were meant to be having dinner by now."

From:

whose_son_am_i

"What would you like?" Another kiss by her ear. "We can dress up and go out, or stay in--whatever you want, Sweetling." One of his hands sought hers out to twine their fingers. "I...didn't know I could care when someone else was hurt." It wasn't entirely true, but he wasn't sure how else to phrase it.

From:

drpalmer

"Lets stay in." She can't imagine trying to get in the mood to get dressed up right now.

"Really?" She rubs her thumb against his skin when he takes her hand.

From:

whose_son_am_i

Loki nodded, and kissed the top of her hair. "If you asked me to kill him, I would if it would make you feel better. I'd be sure he stayed dead this time."

From:

drpalmer

"I wouldn't ask that of you." She does squeeze him just a little tighter.

"I'm stronger than all that. And I'm sure he thought he was saving me from the big, bad Loki."

From:

whose_son_am_i

"He's never struck me as a cruel man, so I think you might be right. He was attempting to be cruel to be kind, as it were." One more squeeze of their joined hands. Moving his other from where it was stroking her hair, he held it up and manifested his cell phone.

The wonders of modern convenience. Humans had pioneered a way to be lazy, collecting all of their delivery restaurants into a few different 'apps' that one could simply pick something from. A little bit of scrolling, presses of the screen, and then he vanished the phone.

"Food is on the way, Sweetling. Until then, I recommend you go soak and get comfy. I already learned where everything was, and can set things up." Wrapping his arm around her again, Loki chuckled. "You do have me tamed; here I was the one in cuffs and under arrest, and yet I'm worrying over you." It was amusing.

"I doubt he has the best opinion of you, given that you killed him once." And that really would sour anyone's opinion.

She let's him deal with the food ordering while she listens to his heartbeat.

"You did do a bit of reorganizing." A bit meaning all of her furnature. "I'm just going to take a hot shower." She gives him a kiss and moves to get up.

"If they had hurt you I was ready to find out how well that dagger travels."

From:

whose_son_am_i

He let her up, but stayed lounging for a moment longer. And smiled at her. "Sweetling, careful--at this rate you might not be showering alone, and one of us really should stay here to get the food."
