Thor could all but see the genius man of metal’s brain ticking round in his head as his focus shifted to Thor’s eye, the almost auburn red-brown colour to the iris a sharp contrast to his natural blue, before the mechanism flashed slightly as he blinked and the lens within it re-calibrated itself. Maybe once they had established what could be done to get Thor back to his Kingdom, he could allow Tony to have a look at it, he would probably get some enjoyment out of that, and he was always amazed at the kind of things the genius came up with. Sure it was still fairly antiquated in comparison to the Asgardian technology he had grown up with, but for a Midgardian it was impressive.
“Aye my friend. My elder sister called Hela. She ruled the realm of the underworld and my father kept her existence hidden from me until he passed into the halls of Valhalla…which released the magic he was keeping her locked away with and she came to take her rightful place as Queen of Asgard.” He explained, idly rubbing at his fake eye as it itched the socket slightly. “Now you mention it, she did seem to have much more of a look of Loki…” he added with a soft laugh.
Listening to Tony’s explanation, Thor was simultaneously pleased and disappointed. Pleased because he had been right in his assumptions that the mortal would be working on something, but also disappointed that there seemed to be little possible at the moment.
“I have some knowledge of the stones, but not too much…only legends…but maybe there is some truth within them?” he offered, before glancing down at the sparks as they danced around his fingers, letting them grow and coil round his hand and forearm in one long tendril. It was almost a party trick now, ever since he’d come to terms with the fact he didn’t need Mjolnir to control the lightning, he had found himself letting it dance around his hands and arms like pet snakes. “I would be more than willing to help charge things my friend, It would take but a little of my power to do so now I am able to fully tap into my ability! Simply point me at what you require power for.”
Tony listened to Thor explain his sister and the situation he’d found himself in. “And I thought my dad kept a shit ton of secrets,” he said. “As far as I know I don’t have any siblings out there, but it’s possible that they exist. My dad was known for being in the company of a lot of women. Not that I can judge.” The major difference was that once Tony got with Pepper there was nobody else. Okay, it was before they got together, but no question that after. Howard wasn’t as faithful to his mother. He also was bad about making sure doors were locked so Tony saw things he really didn’t want to ever see. “Maybe you got all the good genes in the family.”
He wished he had better news for Thor. Though he couldn’t help feeling a bit relieved to see the other man. This kind of weirdness was more his area than Tony’s and he was good to have in a fight. “It’s okay,” he said. “There’s a couple of wizards on Bleecker Street that seem to know a great deal. Even gave me a sort of mystic presentation on them. Origins and all that stuff. Their group also spent loads of time guarding the Time Stone. So, as far as information goes I think we can pool it all together and hopefully figure something out. Maybe find out where the Stones are and see if we can do something about what they’re doing.” He didn’t like the idea of dealing with something he didn’t understand and his only way of dealing with it was to learn all he could about them.
Tony watched Thor produce electricity and let it roam over his skin. “Damn, man, you have fully embraced that whole thunder god name though it is actually lightening which is kind of weird, but whatever,” he said. “That whole St. Elmo’s fire glow is badass.” He paused briefly. “You guys probably called it something else. It’s that blue glow from ambient electricity. Used to appear on the top of ship’s masts. Which is why it was named after St. Elmo, he was the patron saint of sailors.” It was science knowledge, maybe it was just trivia, but it was Tony’s area which made him feel more comfortable so he felt better about rambling about it. “When I get finished building what I need to build, I will let you know and you can hit it with electricity. I just need to be able to contain and channel the electricity properly or we will have fires and that’s no good for anyone. If it’s not a place I own then I’m going to have to deal with lawyers and insurance people. The mess with the Chrysler building was more of a headache than I thought it would be. Apparently I’m not allowed to call it an act of god if I can name the specific god responsible.” He shook his head though he had a teasing smile on his face.
“All kidding aside, it’s good to see you,” he said moving over to get a few bottles of the really good beer that he tried to hide only because the heathens here wouldn’t appreciate it. Their alcohol was almost nothing to Thor, but he figured the guy would like the taste at least. He opened both and pushed a bottle toward Thor.
