No Good Deed Goes Unpunished (Loki Fanfiction)

Bunnies

"All right. Dr. Richards would you mind telling my friend here what you just told me." Tony asked to the image of a tall middle age man with gray temples.

"Not a problem Mr. Stark." Dr. Reed Richards replied calmly turning his attention to Loki who had just walked into the communication center. "you can trust Doom to fulfill his promise, but ... and here's the glitch. He will keep his word exactly to the letter of what he promised; nothing more, nothing less. If he promised you not to try to kill you that doesn't mean he would prevent someone else from doi9¿ng it; nor that he wouldn't influence someone else to do it for him."

"Thank you Dr. Richards. Your information is most useful." Loki acknowledged with a small bow.

"My pleasure." Reed volunteered answering Loki's bow. "and if you should need any assistance with Doom don't hesitate to call us."

"Thank you Dr. Richards, we will." Tony asseverated before cutting the communication.

"Now that we know I'm sure we can find a way to make this work on our favor. For starters; he said your family ..." Tony tilted his head raising his eyebrows quite sure Loki would catch his drift.

"I'm not marrying her because of Doom's!" Loki replied irritated by his suggestion crossing his arms over his chest.

"I'll admit it's not the most romantic reason; and for what the Dr. told us Doom could always try to find a way around it, but ..." Tony tried to convince him again.

"I said no! I won't accept that and neither would she." Loki stated firmly.

"Then don't tell her." Tony suggested shamelessly.

Loki stared at Tony almost amused by his last suggestion. "Like she wouldn't figure it out eventually. No, Tony. Know that we know exactly what to expect I'm telling her everything."

"All right. It's your call." Tony admitted shrugging his shoulders. "What are you planning to do about Doom anyway?"

"I plan to keep the fact that she's alive hidden as long as we can for starters." Loki volunteered.

"You know we can't keep that a secret forever." Tony told him somberly.

"No, we won't. But I never planned to." Loki confessed.

"So, we're back to square one?" Tony asked grimly.

"No. When I decided to take her with me I didn't counted with having all of you nor SHIELD on my side. I'm confident to say that makes it a different game altogether." He ended patting Tony's shoulder amiably.

Tony scowled for a few seconds before smirking. "You are right. And it's not only us who are on your side. If anyone gets any bright ideas about Leah or Eerika we'll make sure they regret them."

"That's the plan." Loki smirked back. It didn't meant he would allow her to run around unprotected but he wouldn't allow her to become a prisoner ever again either. "Now, if you excuse me Leah and I need to have a very long conversation."

"I don't envy you right now." Tony confessed.

"Leah?" Loki called for her as soon as he arrived to their room.

"Over here." Leah answered cheerfully; her voice was coming from the dressing room.

"Remember I told you I would tell you everything about my mission when the time was right?" He inquired standing on the door frame.

"Yes." Leah stopped was she was doing and answered nervously while staring at Loki.

"Come with me." Loki offered his hand to her. "Let's sit; there's much I need to tell you."
