Incensed, Loki snatched Stark's throat and threw him across the room. He prowled around the coughing mechanic, his rage building at having failed to seize the Iron Man's mind. Time was running out. He could hear the irksome and vexingly attractive creature mumbling a call for his artificial intelligence's support.

The god grabbed Tony once more, relishing the fear as he lifted him bodily from the ground.

"You will all fall before me," he hissed.

It was a split-second decision, that once had only ever resulted in Stark being smashed through his own window. Instead, Tony was shoved down onto his back, Loki resting a knee upon his stomach, left hand at his chest.

Third time would be the charm.

Loki brought the tip of the sceptre to Stark's forehead, bypassing the symbolism of the heart in favour of the brain.

"And you will be mine."

He was rewarded with the gleam of blue claiming once brown eyes. Loki dodged back just as Tony's suit of armour hurtled toward him. Any moment now, he would be sure whether he had earned himself a Merchant of Death.

Loki was grateful for the distraction. He'd been receiving murmurings from the Other that Thanos was going to start making a move. The more time he'd had to think, the more he had begun to have more clarity on the Titan's intentions. The future was beginning to look dark if he did not take action.

He had not experienced Valentine's Day before so this morning was to be a pleasant surprise. Stark Tower, or as it was now relabelled 'Loki' Tower had received an influx of cards and gifts from around the world, many from those under his influence and acting on their assumptions, but some even from deluded or convinced humans who had started to fall under their king's charms. His security entourage were already picking through the heap of it before he would discover its existence.

Tony's embrace was welcome. Loki smirked at him and banished the tablet he had been using.
