[ man, did Loki just appear in your quarters ]

[ rolls his eyes a little ]

Not gonna work on me, Loki.

[thatboyisamonster]

Would you give up the Enterprise for me?

[ship_ping]

... I can't give that up for anyone.

[thatboyisamonster]

That throne is mine. Despite Thor, despite Odin, despite everyone believing I'm not worthy, I got it.

[ship_ping]

I still don't think that's actually what you want.

[thatboyisamonster]

How would you know what I want?

[ stalks closer, in his personal space ] My father, the one I bled for, fought for, told me I deserved to die. I was banned from visitors. I was meant to spend my days as his lost relic, stored away.

[ship_ping]

[ not giving up any ground, staying close. ]

He's a dick. That part I get. But you ain't thought this through, Loki.

[thatboyisamonster]

You do realize that none of us are exactly prime examples of good parenting.

[ship_ping]

Not talking about that right this second. My point is - if Spock and I came back with you right now to Asgard, would you be happy?

[thatboyisamonster]

I could not guarantee your safety in Asgard.

[ship_ping]

Not what I asked.

[thatboyisamonster]

Asgard is my home, Jim. As terrible as it is.

[ship_ping]

I figured. But would you really be happy? With all of us there?

[thatboyisamonster]

I could never advocate for people coming into Asgard.

[ship_ping]

Answer the damn question.

[thatboyisamonster]

I did.

[ship_ping]

[ sigh ]

Spock'n I have been to worse places than Asgard. We could do it.

[thatboyisamonster]

Asgard made me. And I am far worse than you realize.

[ship_ping]

Too bad. We love you regardless.

[thatboyisamonster]

Love does not make me a better person, it only softens the blows.

[ and looks at Spock ] And increases my madness. I am no person for children, my myths be damned.

[ship_ping]

Meet them. Just once. Spock's getting leave for New Vulcan - we can go then.

[thatboyisamonster]

. . . Fine. As you wish.

[ship_ping]

Good.

I'm a stubborn bastard, remember?

[thatboyisamonster]

You both are.
