"The Avengers," Tony answered, Loki gave him a look that clearly said he did not know what Tony was talking about. "it's kind of what we call ourselves." Tony began explaining. "It's sort of like a team, Earth's mightiest heroes type of thing, you get the idea."
"I've met them." Loki said with an amused face, mentally remembering his escape on the hellicarrier.
"Yeah," Tony said with an annoyed smile. "it takes us a while to get any traction, I'll give you that one. But let's do a head count, shall we? First of all we have Thor, your brother, the demi-god of Thunder." Loki turned away at the mention of his brother, allowing Tony to sneak two bracelets onto his wrist. "Next we have the one and only Captain America, a super soldier, a living legend who kind of lives up to legend. Next up on our list is Bruce Banner, a man with breathtaking anger management issues. Followed up by Black Widow and Hawkeye, a couple of master assassins with a grudge against you. There's me, naturally."
"Of course, how could I forget you?" Loki said in a dry voice.
"And if that's not enough then we also have Grim, the magical wizard who kicked your ass and turned you into a crying little baby with a single spell. What was it called again? Oh right, 'crucio' I believe it was," Tony said, not even bothering to fight off the smirk that appeared on his face when he saw a small shiver go through Loki. "He will be coming too, I reckon he's probably not too happy with you either. Him plus the others and you, big fella, have managed to piss off ever single one of them."
"That was the plan."
"Not a great plan," Tony shrugged as he walked out and past the bar after taking a few sips of his drink. "because when they come they will come for you." He said as he walked towards Loki.
"I have an army." Loki reminded him.
"We have a Hulk." Tony replied as if that solved everything.
"Your plan is based on a mindless beast?" Loki raised an eyebrow.
"You're missing the point," Tony rolled his eyes. "there's no throne, there's no version of this where you come out on top. Maybe you're army comes and maybe it's too much for us, but it's all on you." Tony said as he stopped in front of him. "Because if we can't protect the Earth then you can be damn well sure that we'll avenge it." Tony finished before taking another sip.
"How will your friends have time for me…" Loki walked towards Tony menacingly. "… when they're too busy fighting you?" Loki tapped his scepter on Tony's chest, unknowingly tapping his arc reactor, his expression instantly turned to one of surprise when Tony wasn't taken over by the scepter's magic. He tried it again only to receive the same result. "This usually works" Loki frowned, wondering what the hell was wrong with the scepter.
"Well performance issues, it's not uncommon," Tony replied. "one out of five…" Tony found himself being cut off as Loki grabbed him by the neck and tossed him to the floor ."Jarvis, anytime now." Tony groaned as he stood up.
"You will all kneel before me!" Loki said as he grabbed Tony by the neck and raised him into the air.
"Jarvis deploy!" Tony gasped out. "Deploy!"
Loki tossed Stark through the penthouse window and Stark shot down towards the ground. As Stark fell a red machine flew down after him, two red laser devices appeared out of it and scanned the bracelets on Tony's wrists, after it had finished the machine had attached itself to Tony and began transforming. A few seconds later Tony was in a fully functioning Iron man suit. Tony quickly activated his suit and barely stopped himself from crashing down onto civilians and the pavement, Iron Man flew up so he was now flying right next to the window that Loki had thrown him out of.
"And there's one other person you pissed off, his name is Phil." Iron Man said before he shot Loki with a repulsor blast, however he was surprised when a red beam followed his blast and hit Loki at the same time, Loki flew back and cried out in pain as he landed. Iron Man turned around and saw Grim in full costume flying in front of him. "Oh… hey." Tony greeted him. "Nice to see you here."
"Stark." Grim nodded.
"That red beam that you shot at Loki, was that by any chance…"
"Crucio, yes." Grim nodded.
"Delightful." Tony replied. Any further response was cut off by a large blue beam shooting out from the top of the tower and into the sky, a massive blue portal appeared and aliens began flying out. "Right… army."
