WHO: Loki Laufeyson, Thor Odinson, & The Hulk (And Bruce Banner, too) WHAT: The God of Mischief wants to destroy part of the invading forces. Unfortunately, brains can only do so much without brawn backing it up. WHEN: December 28th; Evening WHERE: The Colligo Streets RATING: PG-13 STATUS: In Progress
Loki hated this. He hated cutting through the Colligo streets, teleporting every few yards or so to save the energy that one long cut to the Tower would take up, avoiding those Cybermen and Daleks that patrolled the streets out of a sense of self preservation and uncertainty, before he finally reached the mass that was the Avengers Tower, a gawdy mass of metal that he'd torn down once and got really irritated at seeing up and standing without a scratch on it. Those were old feelings, though, ones that could easily be ignored for his goal at the moment, a goal that he'd hoped would be standing outside but didn't seem to have made it to the ground floor yet. By Odin All-Father's fuzzy white beard, please do not let the pair of them feel the need to make 'entrances' in any way, shape, or form. It wasn't that that wasn't an urge Loki could respect, but in this moment, show-boating was about the last thing that they needed.
"Banner!" Loki called as he approached the tower, daggers called to hand and clad in his battle armor. Were this any other day, the residents might assume that Loki was calling an ill-advised challenge, but with the streets teaming with monsters, there were more important things to save than his wounded pride, a pride that still demanded a rematch to show that he could outwit even the savagest of beasts when given the right opportunity. "Grab my witless brother, shed that useless pink facade, and make yourself into something actually useful."
Probably not the best way to greet someone who just agreed to help you take care of a situation that you knew, and had admitted no matter how much it had killed your pride again to do so, you couldn't handle on your own, but it wasn't likely that Bruce would just change his mind and go back to his lab.
