[ man, did Loki just appear in your quarters ]

Comments

[scienceping]

[that definitely causes some passers-by to pause and look into the observation deck, but Spock's attention is entirely on Loki.]

... We were also trapped.

[thatboyisamonster]

And what a difficult trap it must be. But it's nothing compared to what I can do.

[scienceping]

Would you have preferred that I continue to withhold it from you?

[thatboyisamonster]

That is not the problem here and you know it!

Say your last words before I end this miserable ship.

[scienceping]

[... slowly stands from the window seat, folding his hands behind his back. quietly looking at Loki though.]

[thatboyisamonster]

Say them. Say how you didn't love me. Say how you wanted more. Say them now.

[scienceping]

... I desired you there. Here. Even now, a subroutine exists within the ship's charting and scanning processes searching for any spacial phenomena resembling Asgard.

[thatboyisamonster]

Then why would you do this to me!

[scienceping]

It was not aimed against you or because of you. It simply happened.

[thatboyisamonster]

[ he's vibrating in anger and hurt ]

I will kill them. Then I will kill you. All of you.

[scienceping]

Loki ...

[reaches for him]

[thatboyisamonster]

Don't touch me!

I hate you. I hate all of you.

[scienceping]

[he stops, but doesn't withdraw his hand, hanging there and not quite touching Loki]

[thatboyisamonster]

How dare you do this to me.

[scienceping]

We had hoped that you could be part of it.

[thatboyisamonster]

Yes, because it is so simple, isn't it?

[scienceping]

[... tilts his head]

There is no aspect of our relationship that is simple.

[thatboyisamonster]

Don't give me that. You started a family and you think I can simply slot myself in neatly! Do you have any idea how a family works Spock? Do you?!

[scienceping]

I do not. Nor do I expect to learn in the near future as the children are not aboard the Enterprise.

[thatboyisamonster]

[ backhands him ]

Wrong answer.

[scienceping]

[ow :( his head whips around with the force of it, lip split green. a couple of the people gawking outside start to rush in, red-shirts holding phasers pointed at Loki.

but Spock raises his hand to them.]

Hold your fire. You can return to your duties, Lieutenants.

"But Commander—"

[thatboyisamonster]

[ Loki's clothes start to shimmer into his battle armor and he has Gungnir in his hand ]

There's no need to listen to him. Come now. Shoot. Blow holes in this precious ship of yours. I guarantee you I'll make it worth your while.

[scienceping]

I order you to return to your posts.

[they keep glancing between Loki and Spock, but ... reluctantly back off at Spock's tone. Spock meanwhile hasn't looked away from Loki.]

[thatboyisamonster]

Oh dear. Does that mean I don't have to kill anyone? What a pity.

[scienceping]

I request that you also disarm yourself.
