Stark CLONED THOR where I'm from so I should think the salt is even on both sides from a 'your alt self is a dick' POV.
I've taken the Loki from your universe under my wing to keep him on the straight-ish and narrow-er, how does that sound? He's far more stable with me than without. I've the experience he lacks when it comes to maybe not taking over a world.
[ Seriously, what world is this where Loki is the example of self restraint? And self improvement too??? ]
How can you be sure he's not just in it for the satisfaction of getting one over on his alternate? I may not know him that well but it seems like something Loki would do.
Who doesn't want to punch Stark at some point in their life?
[ Welcome to Earth-616 where even Loki has been around long enough to find his sanity. ]
I said I've taken him under my wing, not that I trust him. Of course I don't trust myself, I AM myself, I KNOW myself. But he is not untrustworthy at TIMES and I have the best means of navigating those moments by virtue of understanding his ways.
[ He's very predictable because Earth-199999's Loki is still in his deeply unhappy, spiteful stage, and there is only one way for that to go. ]
After taking most of the punches meant for him before he got here, courtesy of your lot, I'm unwilling to let him go through what I did on his behalf when his reaction to such vitriol will be far more destructive. He informed me that he made attempts to speak with Stark to no avail. I doubt he will try again (not to make amends, simply TO talk) once spurned. In all honesty, Captain, he is one of the less violent Laufeysons I have come across.
[ Including himself, once upon a time and two lives ago. ]
[ Well, he's not wrong. Too bad punching Stark is a very touchy subject right now and Steve would rather face another Chitauri army singlehandedly than talk about it even in the abstract. ]
If it's any consolation, I don't have any intention of punching you. [ For now... ]
So you're telling me that not only are you reformed, but you're dedicating yourself to helping the other Loki reform too? Why?
I don't like to expect the worst from anyone but it's hard not be wary when you just said yourself you can't be trusted.
Thanks, my boyfriend would likely have to take you down if you did. He's sweet like that.
[ Or Dick would just complain and posture like the big bad bluebird his dad has forged him to be. Then make friends with Steve because, well, Steve. ]
Reform is a strong word. I don't want him to go through what I did, to put it simply. He would suffer greatly at his own hand. I'm not doing this for anyone but him. You can believe THAT, can't you?
[ 'Loki takes care of Loki', as the old saying goes. ]
[ Moving past the sudden urge to send this boyfriend his condolences or run a background check on the kind of person who would date Loki (and who Loki would want to date)... ]
Yes, that I can believe. I can't tell if it's selfish or selfless but if anyone could blur the lines between the two, I suppose it's you.
[ Is it a compliment? A jab? He's genuinely impressed, either way. ]

Good :-)
Stark has taken my favourite coffee shop away from me but I will see you around town sometime anyway, I suppose. Inevitably.
