Loki's eyes widened, and he held up a finger as if to explain something. The words just seemed to be caught in his throat. "I--no!" He finally managed to say. "I mean I am Loki, obviously. But I'm not that Loki...sort of."

He heaved an exasperated sigh, not even sure that he quite knew what the truth was (he wasn't the god of truth, now was he?). "I was born from that Loki, and he...exists. But he is not me anymore than a child is their parent."

"So....... You are Loki. Like... Loki-Loki." Clint gave him a short look, thinking it over so briefly, and just trying to piece this all together. Once again he was thrust into a situation that made no real sense, and it was hitting him pretty significantly. He smirked, wryly, and just looked ahead with a shake of his head. "Alright. Yup. This is happening. Mhm."

A short laugh leaving him, and he reached up to scratch the back of his head. Nervous. Annoyed. But more just done than anything else, at the moment.

"JUST great! I love when Fury, or whoever, THOR?? Just tosses me these issues, and expects me to accept it. Guess what? I didn't agree to any of this. What am I??? The glorified babysitter??? Does anyone realize I actually like have a family, too??? Okay. Sure- yeah. Give the God-Kid to Clint. He's good with kids! Yeah! Great idea!!"

"Whatever helps you sleep at night, Barton." Things were still a little tense between the Widow and the archer.

"...-- really?... You need to talk to me?" Clint asked it, redundantly, but wasn't at all opposed to this being their interaction, for the moment. It sure beat having the roughest minutes trying to wrestle her away, or show off each other's wonderful skills in combat. Definitely not necessary, right now. He folded his arms, leaning casually against the closest surface, a counter nearby. "I'm all ears, sweetheart."

Villain-ish

"What's the matter, are you going to cry?" "You look so pathetic right now." "Aw, look, you're shaking like a leaf." "Try all you want, that collar won't come off." "How do you like your cage?" "Trying to escape is useless." "You’re practically squirming. Do I frighten you that much?" "All of your friends are going to die, all because of you. How does that make you feel?" "You think that you're so noble, but you're just as much the villain as I am." "Everybody's going to know your dirty little secret. You can't hide it forever." "I've met plenty of people who said they'd never break. They all talk in the end. You will too." "You've made a huge mistake, and you're going to pay for it." "How high is your pain tolerance? Let's find out." "You thought that you could defy me? Then let me put you in your place." "That pained expression on your face is so delicious." "No one can save you now. You’re mine."

Teasing/Humiliation Lite:

"Wait…are you crying?" "No way, don't tell me you're scared?" "Aw, were you worried about me?" "I hear you missed me." "You're totally embarrassed, your face is all red!" "You know your big crush on [name] is so obvious." "I heard you talking in your sleep. You were saying [my name/other name]." "You were staring at [name] the whole time with that stupid dreamy look on your face." "I thought you said you weren’t scared?"

Spooky:

"I can hear things walking around upstairs. Is somebody up there?" "What's the matter, you look pale?" "I just saw a shadow go by!" "I thought that this place was abandoned?" "We're going to have to go down into the basement." "Why did all the lights go off??" "I think that we're lost, and it's staring to get dark out…What should we do?" "You heard that, right? Sounds like somebody's dying." "Come on, let's just try it, what's the worst that could happen? The oujia board is just a toy, after all." "There are tons of rumors about that place…let's check it out!" "There's something behind you…" "Were you in my room last night? I saw somebody sitting at the edge of the bed."

He paused.

"Though now that you say it, I'm curious." A smile flashed over his lips. "What might I have found if I'd looked deeper?"

"Aw..."

Loki tsked, tilting his head as he studied Barton through narrowed eyes. He certainly wasn't helping his image as the 'reformed' trickster by putting on such a hungry expression. He just couldn't help himself, though. There was still something so amusing about the fear in a mortal's eyes when speaking to him. Or did he just have to revel in it, rather than contend with the thought of still being reviled?

"Come now, it's been ages. Can't we let bygones be bygones?" He said with that wolfish grin. He wasn't trying, it was simply his natural expression!

Friend and I always want more angsty/dark starter memes so we decided to make our own! May add more later.

“You look like you’ve seen a ghost?" 

"Heh, what’s the matter…scared?" 

"What this? You’re shaking? How pathetic." 

"You’re practically squirming. Do I frighten you that much?" 

"I thought you said you weren’t scared?" 

"Did you really think that you could just forget about it, like nothing ever happened?" 

"You know that this is all your fault." 

"No one can save you now. You’re mine." 

"You will do what I say, or else…" 

"You’re weak. You always were." 

"Aw, you poor thing…" 

"Heh, are you…crying?" 

"Look at how pathetic you’ve become…" 

"Don’t let anyone see you cry. Heh… Wouldn’t want that embarrassment, would we?" 

"I wonder how many people know that dirty little secret of yours." 

"Don’t worry, this won’t hurt…much." 

"How high is your tolerance for pain? Well, I suppose I’ll know when you start screaming." 

"That pained expression on your face is so delicious." 

"You're not who you said you were."

"Who do you think I am?"

"It's like you've forgotten every part of yourself."

"Once upon a time, I trusted you."

"I want to believe you... but I don't."

"Once... everything was different."

"Let me tell you now - no. Never again."

"What the fuck is wrong with you?"

"You're so... strange."

"I want you to be honest with me, for once."

"Outside ideas are against the rules."

"Don't question me ever again."

"I'm not special to you, you're not special to me."

"It smells like... you."

"Why are you trying to be invisible?"

"I'm hungry, I'm tired, and I don't want anything to do with you."

"You can't protect me from everything out there."

"You don't know what you think, not really."

"I'm going to make sure you never feel fear again."

"Don't trust what they're saying to you."

"Only I can keep you safe."

"You look at me like you can't even see me."

"That smile... it's like there's a shark, circling in the water."

"You act like a pilot fish, but you're a predator. Hunting."

"This isn't the real you, is it?"

"Now... say you're sorry. Say it like you mean it."

"You should know who I am."

"I am royalty, aren't I? Say it."

"I don't want to do this, either. But I have no choice."
