Nine Lives (1a)

Here you are, OP! As promised. ;)

Bad LuckA less experienced mortal would say that he was hiding. An outright foolish mortal would say that he was cowering

A/N: Well, you guys finally get some Thor-ness! ;) He and Cap make brief appearances in this chapter. Expect more of them in the next chapter and in chapters to come. Thor will also be playing a bigger role in Like Poison soon since many of you requested it, so keep an eye out for out. I'm pretty much making this stuff up as I go.

My wireless keeps dropping so Imma post this while I can real quick!

AllegiancesThe next morning, Loki awakened to the softness of a cushion beneath him and a warm body against his back. A disembodied voice with a British accent was talking about the weather - something about unexpected thunderstorms in the New York area - and Loki tried to blink the sleep from his eyes

Nine Lives (5b)

Loki sped down the stairs after Tony, following the sounds of cursing echoing up from the workshop. The basement floor was cool under his feet, and his heart thudded in his ears almost loud enough to drown out the whir of machinery as each piece of Tony's suit clicked into place. A few strategically placed robots were helping him speed up the process.

Stop, you idiot human! The shout came out as a long, whiny meow.

Tony spared him a distracted glance. “Pepper will feed you, kitty.”

Loki growled. Does it look like I'm interested in food right now?

But Tony's full attention was on his suit. This would be so much easier in Ancient Egypt. They revered cats, like sensible humans. Now that he thought of it, he wondered how Seth was doing. He'd heard all sorts of gossip about those squabbles with his nephew...

Focus, Loki.

Damn it, mortal! I am a god, and you will pay attention to me!Loki pushed off of his hind legs and launched his tiny body at one of the robots attaching the plates of armor to Tony's arms and hands. He hissed and

A moment later, still staring at the TV, Loki started purring. Pepper looked up and saw that the Hulk had dealt Thor a solid blow that had left a crater in the ground. Thor was shaking his head and woozily pulling himself to his feet. Pepper cringed as the Hulk punched him again, but she swore the cat started purring louder.

Something about that gave Pepper pause. She watched Loki out of the corner of her eye and wondered if - ?

No. That was crazy.

Right?

She could hear Steve trying to say something, probably trying to talk down their friend and former fellow Avenger, and she watched as the Hulk uprooted a tree and used it as a bat. Steve deflected it with his shield but was sent skidding backwards, his feet leaving long twin furrows in the ground. The Hulk swung back around impossibly fast, catching Tony before he could dodge, twisting his neck at an angle that made Pepper gasp, and sending him through a line of trees

Nine Lives (6a)

[maverikloki]

A/N: Internet's being wonky. Hopefully I can get this chapter up before it decides to kick me off again. There should be three parts of Ch. 6; if there aren't, check back later, and hopefully there will be.

Reacquainted

Loki heard the Avengers return long before he caught sight of them. He had dozed without meaning to, and a quick glance at the nearest clock told him that three hours had passed. He would have frowned if he could; where had they been in all that time? Again, Loki cursed his magic's slow return.

Loki's first impulse was to run to the door and see whether or not Tony was in one piece, but he recognized his brother's heavy tread and the muffled boom of his voice and found himself frozen in place. He wondered then why he had had that impulse to begin with. He had given Iron Man some of his more vicious battle scars and hadn't thought twice about them, but he supposed that his priorities had changed now that he was relying on - well, mooching off of - one of his enemies. It wouldn't do for Tony Stark to die while Loki

Nine Lives (6b)

[maverikloki]

"Look what I found hiding in the closet." Thor's voice was like a rumble of thunder, and Loki could imagine the scowl on his face. He held Loki aloft by the scruff of the neck, and the Trickster hung there like a thief at the end of his noose and awaited his sentence, limbs stiff at his sides.

Arranged stiffly on his bed, Tony shifted his body to look. "Well, Loki was bound to come out of the closet sooner or later," he said, his words still slurred. This close, Loki could see the mottled bruises that covered the left half of the human's face. Tony fought back a grin for a few moments before a series of giggles bubbled up from his chest. Loki glared at the human, but Tony did not seem to notice.

Twice, Thor sucked in a breath as though to say something only to let the silence lengthen. He looked helplessly at Steve, who shrugged in response.

"You said Loki," Thor finally said, speaking insultingly slow.

"Yes," Tony replied, waving aside the comment. "That is his name, you know." His eyes glittered wickedly

Stark's bed was warm, comfortable, and Loki saw no reason to leave it. He stayed curled by Tony's side as he dozed, kneading his claws into the softness of the comforter and squinting his eyes in a sly cat-smile at anyone who came to visit the incapacitated Man of Iron
