Jack just nodded his head with regards to everything that Hansel was saying, namely how long it would take them to reach their destination and that they needed to keep their voices down. He wasn't sure how the people above them could really hear anything that they were saying, but given the fact that they were in a world where magic was real, it wasn't all that surprising that there might be someone listening in on them, even from a bit of a distance. Of course this was not going to be a simple thing, that he was fairly sure of.

He glanced over at his sister when Merlin answered her question as to how things regarding medicine and for some weird reason diseases tended to work in this strange world. It was interesting to think about, that everything tended to be healed or fixed with magic or potions or something. Then again, everything about the world was new, and supposedly the group had been born there, which at this point he wasn't able to really see. Listening, he heard Hansel say after climbing up the ladder to wait a moment, so guessing they likely were waiting for the other group to cause chaos.

Rosalia giggled slightly at Taylor's comment regarding setting Colby potentially on fire or something, "Well if we set him on fire he could run around the place likely screaming his head off. That would definitely be a fairly good distraction," she whispered back in response to her words. It was an amusing thought to have running through her head, and definitely an image that was worth giggling about. Probably would be a decent distraction, definitely would get some people's attention that's for sure, but clearly others had something else in mind. Though she personally was only just joking about that, since personally she wanted nothing to do with fires at all.

Namely the fact that Sierra the person who had first suggested the compromise of using fire as a last resort, started a fire. Now this was getting annoying, and she was pretty sure she was surrounded by idiots. There was another reason why she had been dead set against setting a fire, and it wasn't just because they could hurt innocent people. Nope that was far from the only reason. "You were the one to say use it as a last resort hypocrite," she said towards Sierra, but one thing would flash across her eyes as she started almost fiddling with her hair nervously. The thing that crossed her eyes was fear, as if the fire itself was the thing that scared her, and not everything else that they were attempting and doing. No, it was the flames that scared her above everything else that had really happened that day.

"Okay, that sounds like a lot of fun to me, I'm all for it," Klara said to Nadia with a bit of a smile. She was a bit curious as to what a fairy tale was. Growing up sure they had some stories, folk lore, tales and what not, but fairy tale was a new term for her really. No one had really used it when she had been living and she hadn't really wondered too much about the stories in the more recent years of Earth. Maybe she really should pay more attention to what happened in the recent days. That would likely be a smart one so that she wasn't quite a fish out of water when talking with the more recently deceased people in the hotel.

Her attention turned to the dwarf that had more or less stumbled out and was shown to be the dwarf that they were looking for. Of course, the next words out his mouth regarding the tools that belonged to his brother made her roll her eyes. Nothing ever was that simple for them, everything had to be difficult despite what they would hope for. "I'm not the best at gambling, never really developed much of an interest in it, so I never really tried. The thing with gambling is that parts of it are luck based, depending on the game there is some strategy, but as I said, part of it is luck based."

Jason found Demetri's comment about turning into a snake a bit amusing, but all things considering he figured it was probably for the best that he didn't make a comment about it. If he did he figured that odds were it would sound like he was laughing at him about it, and considering the fact that they were still on the boat for another day or so that likely would not be a smart thing to do. Of course, he was slightly curious about the answer to Arthur's question when he asked about what happened to demigods when they were adults.

He was rather glad when Alannah poked her head out of the wheelhouse to answer it, so that was a nice thing to think about. Of course, it sort of mattered for him since he was on the older end of the spectrum with age compared to a lot of the other kids around the camp that he had seen. The idea of potentially living a normal life or something like that was definitely appealing to him, but he wasn't sure if he'd be able to pull that off with the monsters or whatever that were seemingly constantly going to be after him. Yeah that was something to also think about.

Mary was just listening to what seemed to be being said during the Iris message, and she listened to the Romans sit there talking about what was going to happen. She noticed one of the people seemingly disappear into thin air and she walked a little closer to look at the surroundings in the message. Of course she didn't move too close since Leda and Kiera were there and she didn't want to interrupt whatever it was that they had going on despite the message. Personally Mary didn't care too much for the Romans, and was a little bit annoyed that one of them seemed to be into bossing people around clearly.

"I forgot that the Romans could sometimes be a bit headstrong and bossy," Mary muttered under her breath as she listened to what seemed to be going on. The Romans were expecting an attack and instantly were jumping into their typical military mode and started saying what they could do, as in those of them on the flying boat. Clearly they hadn't thought about what they would actually want to do for a plan, nope they just were getting lumped in with either one of their cohorts or just lumped all together as their own group. Yup this was definitely going to be fun.

"Maybe you might want to fend a better term fahr dat. Sence bats actually can see fairly well, joehst naht in de way mahst people can," she commented with regards to what Kristin had said to Zeke. She didn't also add that calling people blind while sitting in a car with someone who actually was and literally couldn't see anything was likely a bad idea. When the music turned on, she started humming slightly to the music, just listening to the sounds and feeling the vibrations from the car racing down the highway.

Her attention was drawn back to the two others in the front seat as they were making comments about the music and Zeke potentially singing. She shrugged when she heard his question that was directed towards her. "I like music, boeht as far as I know I'm naht de best senger ever, so I typically joehst set back, relax and lesten. To me music is calmin, even if it is sahmethin dat's sahmewhat looehd playin throoehgh de radio," she finally settled on for a response, and she just leaned her head against the window, continuing to just listen to the world around her.

Sapphire had expected the comments that had popped up with regards to what it was that the Hellfire Club might be planning with the vaccines or whatever it was that they were doing. They weren't all that surprising, Jakobsen and the organization that he had worked for were sort of infamous with regards to how they had acted and treated anyone who technically couldn't be considered purely human. It had been wrong and she knew exactly how things had gone. They had rounded up any odd person with abilities that they could find and ran test and experimented on them. Her mind stopped paying attention to the conversation as it jolted back to a few memories of what had happened to her when she had unfortunately been caught by the organization. That still haunted her, and was something she was stuck with for the rest of her life.

"It's wrong and you know it Havok," Sapphire unexpectedly snapped. The most she had said during the entire car ride had been her theory on what was probably going on. The temperature in the car started to drop and her mind was racing a bit trying to calm down, but at the moment it was really hard. The topic of conversation had hit a major sore spot for her at this point, and she her hands seemed to tighten their grip on the steering wheel of the car as she pulled into the garage and brought the car to a bit of an abrupt stop. At the moment, she wasn't able to really focus on what was being said anymore, as her mind had zoned in on the few things that she had caught, namely about Jakobsen hating mutants and him deserving it which unfortunately brought up bad memories for her.

It was like she had completely froze up, and her powers seemed to be working again, unlike what happened earlier. Her hair and skin color were still completely normal, but her grip on the wheel at this point was so tight it was turning her knuckles white. Trapped inside her own mind, she was just flashing through what had happened to her at the OMEN facility, and most of it were things she hadn't exactly told anyone about, not even Veil.

"Yeah she did... My mom is an electrical engineer, so robotics are kind of her thing," she commented in response to what Waverly said regarding Mr. Eyeball and her mom having helped her build him, but that was all she said with regards to it. It was the truth, but she wasn't saying anything else with regards to it. She just slightly hoped that Waverly, or anyone for that matter, didn't ask about her father, since that would be a little bit tougher to explain. Well, if it came to it she could just say that he was a pilot, since technically he was a pilot, so that wouldn't technically be a lie, it just wouldn't be the full truth.

"From the sounds of it Echo that probably won't be necessary. Going through the front door and blending into the crowd sounds good enough to me," Jack said to the group as people figured out what the best course of action actually was going to be. Back door would be more sneaky, but if he had to guess based on what seemed to be going on at the club, they would probably be more likely to get caught that way. Besides, would it really be all that surprising for more then a few extra people to get into the club during the party? In all honesty probably not.

"I don't think I'd be able to pass for any age older, and not sure this is going to work for getting in..." Zari commented. Even for her age she tended to look young, and kind of small. However usually back home she played that to her advantage, since it meant no one expected her to be as swift or as skilled of a fighter with her sword that she was. It usually was fun to see the surprised expressions on people's faces when they realized that she wasn't a pushover. Though where she was from usually she fought with people who were stronger then her, so any advantage she could get was appreciated in a fight.

Jack glanced at James when he asked what exactly the plan was and he figured he might as well be honest about it, "The only plan we really have at the moment is to be quick about everything and look for the two of them swiftly. We go in, look around, and get back out again before someone potentially figures we don't belong there or someone starts a fight or something like that," he admitted to James, since at the moment that was about all they had as he got out of the car and headed for the line after Callie and Casper, figuring that was probably the best course of action, going right on in the front door.

Zari looked at Mr. Jaws and Mr. Eyeball, "Mr. Eyeball, you need to stay here okay?"

"01010111 01101000 01100001 01110100 00100000 01110111 01101000 01111001 00111111" the eye beeped.

"Because you stand out too much... First sign of trouble though you can come flying in if you want to okay? And I need you to keep an eye on Mr. Jaws..." Zari said as she got out of the car, leaving the eyeball and head behind, but keeping her flashlight with her. There was no way in hell she'd go in there without Glowstick sticking by her, that likely was going to end horribly for her. Besides, not like she could actually lose the sword, that was the nice thing about having an enchanted weapon.

"Ray calm down a little bit would you? Mainly because we have bigger things to worry about then him okay?" she said, trying to partially calm him down a little bit. They did have bigger things to worry about with regards to the Skrulls attacking and invading. That was bad, really really bad, and they had to deal with that before anything else. Of course, there still was the issue of getting back to Earth, but that probably was solved by Nanna who had come in and let them know that there was a ship to take them back to Earth. That was nice of her, though the goddess had that sort of aura around her where everyone felt calm or whatever it was that she did, so that helped.

She followed along after Amelia and the others, sticking close by to Raynor as they reached the ship and Amelia instantly started fangirling over the ship which she found somewhat amusing. There was another thought that crossed her mind and it was one that she wasn't going to say out loud, namely since she liked Amelia as a person. That being that technically Amelia had been assigned to the team to replace Raynor as the groups pilot. Yeah no, she definitely wasn't going to say anything regarding that out loud, since she didn't want Raynor to get pissed off at anyone else aside from Astrad. Honestly, she could probably drop the grudge against Astrad if she wanted to, but the problem was that the guy didn't own up to his own actions, and that was her main problem with it. His apologies weren't really apologies since he kept passing off the blame to his superiors. All it would take was for him to actually apologize and not blame anyone else but himself for what happened and she'd be fine being within 20 feet of him.

Walking onto the ship (which to her looked a bit odd) and she saw the beanbag chairs scattered about. Honestly she at the moment preferred those chairs to the ones they typically had in the quinjet, and she immediately walked over to one and more or less flopped down onto it, "Let's get going then and hopefully see if we can get in contact with the others... Hopefully they aren't all Skrulls or something..."

"You know when all of this is over you might get a few visits from some people agent, aside from me showing up and ready to kick your ass despite being I'm pretty sure older then you are," Alex responded, following Kwassi along with his eyes, "And might I remind you no one on this ship knows if anyone else is for sure not a Skrull, yourself included, so maybe lighten up a bit on the wording if you know what's good for you." Yup, when this was all over he was going to see if he could have Kwassi thrown in jail for a little while for threatening his life and all. Sure, it was a bit petty, but it definitely was an amusing thought that he couldn't get out of his head.

His attention was drawn away from Kwassi though towards Bonnie as she made the comment about the argument. "My apologies, I do have to agree that perhaps now is not the time for arguments such as this. We do have bigger problems at the moment then this, since we don't know who to trust, even in all honesty each other. These other agents of yours, hopefully we don't have to worry about them being the aliens either, but I suppose that we'll cross that bridge once we come to it." He wasn't stupid, pissing these people off was the last thing that he wanted to do. However he did have to agree that now wasn't the time for fighting since they had bigger problems.

Andrew was somewhat glad that the president had decided not to continue arguing with Kwassi, though he hoped that the feeling would be mutual and Kwassi didn't argue back and keep the fighting going. There was a bit of an alien invasion going on, and if the president was currently in the quinjet with them (the real one and not a fake one, he was looking on the bright side of things) then that meant that at least one world leader had been replaced by a Skrulls. Which meant that others could have been replaced as well. He turned to look towards Nathaniel as he got up, and remembered that the guy was the kind of creeper who had an obsession with Agent Reed. It wasn't all that surprising that he seemed confused since he had been knocked out most of the fight.

"Well where exactly to begin with that... Oh right, well apparently there is a group of aliens who can shape shift who have been kidnapping and replacing people or whatever. So after you got knocked out that was discovered, the president crash landed a spaceship that seemed to take out all of the Skrulls who had revealed themselves who were all still alive... Um am I missing anything? Don't think so... Oh and sorry for knocking you out twice, thought I'd say that too." Andrew was rambling a little bit again, but that honestly was not all that surprising.

"Runa, my darling niece, I'm so glad to see you! I heard you were marooned in some dreadful jungle - I'm positively shocked you didn't take a knife to your throat," Loki said, his voice oozing with fake concern. "Although the quality of your company today, I must say, is lacking."

Lance was starting to wonder if perhaps all Asgardians had this thing about them where they had to be as dramatic as possible. He's known Thor for half of his life at this point (or nearly) and he's always been on the dramatic side. Loki clearly is from everything he knew so far about the guy, and then there was Runa trying to clearly be dramatic when she dropped to the ground. That was just great, oh well, he might as well go join the party, and he flew down to the ground, deciding to not be dramatic like the Asgardians.

Guina you clearly aren't okay! Pietro's voice rang through her mind, and it was clear that he was not in a good mood, when from a distance the entire group in the area would be able to hear a rather loud boom as a streak of silver came shooting over. Though clearly in his anger Pietro wasn't really thinking straight and flat out whiffed the punch, missing Loki's head by a few inches as he went racing by.

"Did you seriously just miss by like a mile? Not going to lie that is kind of pathetic not going to lie," she laughed slightly at him, before she turned her attention back to Loki, "I don't like people literally stabbing me in the back, though in all honesty I might have done that at some point to." With those words the vines by her charged straight at him and there was a rather loud crack that sounded off as one of them collided with his head and sent him flying backwards. Loki hit the ground hard enough to cause a bit of a crater and he had some scrapes and bruises and likely would be somewhat sore from that even with him being Asgardian and a bit more durable.

“Oh be careful children, especially you with the silver hair and daddy issues, you wouldn’t want to kill your friends!” Loki responded with a bit of a laugh as he stood up, and soon something rather odd seemed to happen. He disappeared, or seemed to multiply and a few others disappeared. To Runa and Pietro, everyone they saw around them looked like they were Loki and everyone else had disappeared and been replaced by him. To Guin, Mary and Lance seemed to disappear and Loki took their place, while for Mary it was Runa and Lance who were replaced by Loki.

Lance for the moment seemed completely unaffected by Loki's spell. "What the hell is he going on about now?" Lance couldn't help but say, but little did he know that because of Loki's spell no one could hear him.

"Ugh, that Asgardian is really starting to get on my nerves!" she snapped, though only those who could see Mary as herself (or well, technically her psychopathic alternate personality) could hear her words.

Pietro seemed to be panicking, that much was obvious as his eyes seemed to dart around the area looking around, Guina?????? Where'd you go?????? Pietro instantly asked into her mind, as he was there panicking like crazy, before he instantly darted out at random, and unfortunately the one person not effected by Loki's spell ended up being the target. There was a rather loud crack as Pietro sent his fist slamming into the side of Lance's head sending him flying backwards and to the ground with a loud thud.

His head started spinning and Lance moved his hand up to his head before pulling it away with blood on it. Though that wasn't the only thing he noticed, as his hand also seemed to have a bit of a green tint to it, "No no no no no..." he muttered, but not before Pietro picked him up off the ground and threw him another 10 feet away and into a wall. Yup he was definitely losing control. And losing control here, in a place where there were a whole bunch of people that could seriously get hurt because of him? Not a good idea, but despite trying to take deep breaths to try and calm down, it didn't seem to work as the green started creeping along his skin, and what didn't help was the fact that Mary sent vines that started wrapping around him and making it a bit more difficult to move.

Carolina unfortunately would still be feeling the blunt of the effects of the laughing gas, but it was starting to wear off so she can at least somewhat function. However she might have some problems with any sort of actual fighting or whatever like that. Annie seemed to have had the gas wear off mostly, but every so often she would still burst out into a bit of a giggle. There would be the sound of chaos outside of the building though, and they all would be able to see what looked to be a crowd of people coming in from outside in the direction that the latest crashes seemed to be coming from, and that did seem to be the direction that Guin had indicated Loki to be in.

---

Mira only heard a ringing in her ears, and there was one major upside to that, and that meant that she couldn't hear Iris' idiotic ramblings since she was probably talking and making a bigger fool of herself then she already did on a daily basis. The ringing in her ears was not going away, and she managed to pick herself up off of the ground as she looked around at the carnage. Luckily no one seemed to be seriously injured, though she was a little unsteady on her feet. Now was not the time to panic or worry about that, no, now was the time to figure out what to do about Loki.

She saw Ed's mouth move as he seemed to say something to Bethany who had join them over there, and Iris had already taken off to go join that fight. "I can't hear you Bethany," she commented, but couldn't hear a thing that had come out of her own mouth. The ringing for all three of them didn't seem to disappear, so it seemed that there might be a bit more damage to their hearing then it seems at first, probably should start being more concerned if it lasts much longer. "Get as many people out of here as possible, I'm going over there," every word she said was slow and deliberate, as if she had to make sure of what she was saying, though she kind of was as she couldn't hear her own words. With that said, she took off running for the other side of the island, hoping to catch up and get there as quickly as possible.

He looked at Hansel as he opened up a sewer grate down below, and to say that he wasn't entirely thrilled to be dropping down into the sewers or something was a bit of an understatement. Jack didn't care much for wandering around in that sort of place, but then again he had walked through a catacomb earlier that day, so he figured this couldn't be that much worse. As long as no one in the group kicked a skull or whatever else that they might come across while down there then they likely would be alright. Here was hoping anyway.

Dropping down after everyone else, he wasn't too sure where they likely were going really. Everyone else was asking questions regarding what the plan was and how far of a walk it would be through the sewers. He somewhat hoped that it would be the half an hour walk since Hansel hopefully knew what direction they were heading. Of course he had to fight back the urge to laugh at his sister's instant questions regarding disease and medicine. She always had been a bit more on the morbid side with her thoughts, and he was honestly completely used to it.

"Just drop the idea about causing a fire already. If we really need to then yeah, we probably could do it and if we're extremely lucky not burn down the entire city. The releasing the animals thing is waaaaaaaay more of a simple solution and it is also a little less likely to have anyone get seriously injured," Rosalia added, still not sure why people kept mentioning a damn fire when more then a few people had seemed to agree that it was a bad idea. If something was a bad idea and several people agreed with it then why the hell would you keep bringing it up? It was just getting beyond annoying in her mind.

She followed along after the others, not too sure what all to really say with regards to everything else. Since no one around here listened to common sense, that much was obvious. Rosalia watched as people milled about the town going about their day, and wondered what was going through their heads, and if what they all would think about the chaos that they were going to have to endure that they were going to be causing. Probably run off or something like that, clear the streets and hide. Well if trigger happy over there had his way they might burn the city down or something like that.

"It is an amazing name so be nice or he might try to bite you!" Klara giggled towards Asha when her and Arnora started talking about where all they could drop the goats off in the hotel. Of course, she was just ready to get moving with this sort of thing, cause as much chaos as possible before someone potentially tied the goats and everything to them. "I am not in the mind set of wanting them to get eaten no, so we probably should avoid the Feast Hall," she responded as her mind started wandering to other ideas as Arnora started making her way back towards the elevator.

"I vote that we let them loose on other floors first, as we travel down the elevator, then we can let the remaining ones out in the lobby and see what happens with chaos!" Klara suggested as Arnora had asked. Oh this right here, this was definitely going to be fun, no question about it. This was a fun sort of chaos, not the bad kind where you were likely fighting for your life, no... This was a fun bit where you could just sit back and laugh as you watched the entire situation unfold.

"Fairy tale?" she asked now, a bit confused. "Well, okay, guess we'll do that later right? Makes sense, if we get some downtime of course," she added, not too sure what else to say to the other two. "And don't call me old! Just because I died a few hundred years before either of you were born..." Klara didn't tend to like to think about how old she was. Or really how long ago it had been since she had really been out walking around among the living on Earth. It had been a long time since she had been alive. Anyone she had known years ago were long gone at this point, so not like she couldn't disappear to Earth for a little while and just blend in there.

Her attention was pulled away from her own thoughts towards Nadia as she spoke to a few of the other dwarves at their destination and the talk about having to wait for the guy's game to be over or something like that. Well that was boring, now they were going to have to wait and hope that they could be patient long enough to get the stuff from him and hope that they could move on from this rather quickly. They had a job to do after all, so here was hoping that they could just deal with this quietly without getting into a fight. Of course, a small part of her was hoping that they'd get into a fight, since that would be fun in her mind, probably a bad thing though with Runa being new to all of this. "Nah, I'm good," she responded to Nadia.

"Not right away, since if it's an illusion nothing we really do will work. In order to really get rid of them we'd have to knock out the real Loki. So unless we are positive that it is actually him, we should wait, since there is the chance that it isn't really him..." Mary responded to Guin as she glanced around, trying to see if she could spot Loki amongst the crowd. It took her more then a few minutes, but she did spot him eventually, somewhat closer to the base of the statue itself. "Ok, I think I can see him from here... Problem is we don't know if it is him or not from this distance..."

A second later, Guin's suit started going haywire. It was sparking dramatically, as everything went into overdrive. The manual controls were shut off and there was no override option. The limbs of her armor started to move oddly, her legs moving at such a harsh and unusual angle that it didn't take a doctor to know how bad the resulting breaks must have been. A hand was over Mary's mouth, and a dagger was in her back. "Naughty children," Loki whispered in Mary's ear. "You should've known better."

The pain that shot through her back was not exactly something her mind could easily deal with, but one thing was for sure, now they at least definitely knew that Loki was on their side of the island. Lot of good that was going to do for them if they couldn't let the others know. The ground began to shake as her eyes started shifting colors, but vines shot up and managed to get her away from Loki and she stumbled away slightly, but despite the blood coming from her injuries, she was still standing. "Guin, now would be the time to send that message to the others," she managed to cough out, blood was coming from her mouth but she straightened up fully and turned to look directly at Loki. Her eyes having shifted completely. "Ouch, now that hurt. You may have hurt me but I am not done for the count, far far from it," she spat out at him as vines started shooting up from the ground covered with thorns and they were right by her, "This is going to be fun."

Mira turned and glared directly at Iris, "How about you learn how to take things seriously since you don't seem to be able to see just how bad things are. You do realize we could honestly end up dead really quickly. You seem to be all happy in your high as a kite world, but on Earth people could easily end up dead especially when a literal Norse God is causing mayhem. The fact that you don't ever seem to get that says a lot about you and makes me wonder why the hell you even stick around! Since you need to learn that there is a time for being serious, and a time for fun and not being so, you are an idiot because you can't get that through your thick skull. So how about unless you have something useful to say, shut the hell up."

She was just done with Iris' idiocy, and in reality she did not want to trust a word that came out of her mouth, since for all she knew, she could think that just about anyone looked like Loki. Not too long ago she hadn't even known that Thor was actually referring to the actual Norse god and not just someone who took that name. Yeah Iris definitely was more then a bit of an idiot to her. However, since now was not the time to really be petty, she headed off in the direction of the supposed Loki sighting, and eventually, she got close enough and the crowd thinned out enough that it did seem to actually be Loki there. So maybe Iris wasn't just seeing things.

In the crowd where they had seen Loki, there was instead... a Jack in the Box toy??? It was styled after Captain America, probably marketed for little kids. Its song began merrily at first: When Captain America throws his mighty shield... But it soon shifted into something sinister: He'll be doomed to bury his loved ones in a pauper's field! The Jack in the Box then sprung open, and exploded, sending the entire group and any civilians in the area flying

Carolina eventually would be able to see someone who definitely looked to be Loki within the building, the other two wouldn't see him right off the bat though, but after a few moments all three of them would be able to see him among the crowd there. Loki turned and waved at them, before tossing three little glowing orbs at them. The orbs hit the ground and rolled, coming to a stop at the trio's feet, before they started dispensing a strange green fume. It was the Asgardian equivalent of laughing gas.

"No idea, I honestly don't know what sort of prize would really be worth it or something," Pietro responded to Bethany with a bit of a shrug. He was only really half paying attention to what they were even talking about. Right now he was more concerned with getting people out of the area, since for all he knew, the chaos would start soon. "I don't know what would work out for this sort of competition, but who knows? For all we know Loki might be causing chaos at this point or whatever. Doesn't matter what happens, our goal is to get these people out of here." with those last words he charged straight for another group of 20 people, and within a minute, the entire group had disappeared, having been moved by Pietro elsewhere.

Lance's face turned red when Runa answered his question with regards to her cousin, "Oh," was all he managed to say in response before she asked about heights. "I mean I've been thrown out of a window before, any chance that I'd ever get a fear of heights sort of disappeared a while ago..." he eventually said, and he watched her take off into the sky surrounded by darkness.

"How about you shut the hell up," Lance instantly said to him, glaring, since this was getting to be more then a bit annoying. He only vaguely knew what sort of tactics Loki used based on what he had heard with regards to the battle of New York, but from what he knew, this sort of thing was sort of common with regards to him, meaning he likely was trying to rile them up or something.
