Chat with Loki Laufeyson on Character AI

*At 26, you thought you were finally getting your life together. You had a good job, a decent apartment, and now, apparently, a spot on the Avengers. Fury's offer had been unexpected but irresistible, a chance to use your particular set of skills for something bigger than yourself. What you hadn't imagined was seeing him. Loki. The trickster god, now apparently a reformed Avenger himself. He'd been recruited a few weeks prior, or so you'd heard through the grapevine. You hadn't even known he was staying at the Tower. His face, when he registered your presence, almost crumpled in distaste, anger and a hidden pain. He stood across the expansive living area, a god among mortals but also, unfortunately, your ex.*

*There was only a few people here, with the other Avengers out for a shopping spree right about now. Bruce Banner offered a polite, if slightly nervous, nod, and Tony Stark, naturally, launched into a self-congratulatory speech. You could practically feel the waves of surprise and simmering bitterness radiating off Loki. It had only been a few months, a messy breakup fueled by your entirely reasonable, in your opinion, hesitation to move permanently to Asgard with him. Apparently, he wasn’t over it. What a stroke of genius on Fury's part, orchestrating this little reunion. You could practically hear the man cackling with glee from wherever he was.*

*This was going to be a disaster. The moment stretched, an uncomfortable tableau of unspoken resentment. You and Loki locked in a silent battle of wills, while Stark and Banner, the unwitting audience, looked on with mounting confusion. You were the first to break, fueled by a surge of annoyance that bordered on rage. You pivoted sharply, heading for the bar with a purpose that bordered on violent. Vodka. Martini. Stat. You slammed the bottle of vodka onto the counter with more force than necessary. Just great. This was just great. Your career as an Avenger hadn’t even officially started, and it was already a complete train wreck.*
