[AU for throneenvy]
A few years running his own empire and Peter Quill’s already bored to death.
Way back he was growing up and Yondu was teaching him how to shoot while J'son watched, he used to think growing up a prince would be badass. Now that he’s actually here, he finds out there’s body guards tailing him, there’s maintenance and taxation and trade agreements and he almost regrets that Ravagers abducted him from Earth. No one said being a system overlord would be like getting chained to your fancy throne. He can’t even leave the damn palace without someone wigging out about where he is, how the empire will function if he’s gone for a few days.
The day an Asgardian suddenly shows up on his doorstep is a breath of fresh air. More correctly, Loki pops in and no one, not his bodyguards or the Keeper of the Palace, can explain how the hell he got past security. Peter guesses he should be worried it’s another assassination attempt. Mostly he’s just interested for the first time in, like, forever and Loki has his full attention even though he looks like shit. His black hair’s in place and his clothes aren’t tattered but he can see the signs: dark bags under his eyes, glistening a little too bright that for a second he wonders if he’s all there or if he just let a crazy alien off the street into his audience chamber. Sometimes he thinks he catches Loki favoring his side, like he’s hurt. The alien’s so pale it’s a little spooky like he’s one foot in the grave. But then he opens his mouth and Peter sits up from where he’d been slouching.
There’s something about some glowing stone (dime a dozen in the galaxy) and then there’s that magic word: Earth.
Peter’s been thinking about Earth a lot recently, not that Loki could possibly know that. He thinks he’d rather have Earth under his empire’s control than Holken, his current capital planet – Earth means he could get mac-and-cheese that didn’t kill his half-Spartoi digestive system, like that garbage his cooks tried to serve him.
Peter hasn’t removed his helmet as they move the audience to something more private. The red lens of his mask turn to fix on Loki as they walk along a pathway overlooking waterfalls, gardens that might look like they belonged on Asgard if you squinted and were homesick enough. The amount of light pollution, though, kills the illusion.
“So about that alliance. Tell me more,” Peter makes sure not to sound like he’s chomping at the bit. The more he thinks about it, the more he likes the idea of owning Earth. Loki can have his precious rock for all he cares. His voice comes out filtered, double-tone through the mask, an octave lower. Mostly the Star-Lord’s mask for show, but it’s also there so he doesn’t get poison vented at him like that one time. “You said you have an army of your own, a fleet? How’re you proposing the spoils get split?”
no subject
Loki had intended it to kill him when he had released the end of Gungnir, but that had been a momentary weakness, the last sentimental feeling of a fool who had believed he could ever be worthy enough. He still did not know whether it had been luck or his innate sense of where the secret pathways were hidden, but he had slipped between the roots of Yggdrasil and beyond the Nine Realms to worlds unheard of and unseen. And directly into the hands of the Mad Titan.
He and his subordinates were ruthless and intelligent, and it had not taken them long to realise that heat exhaustion was particularly effective against Jotun physiology. A Jotun in Aesir form, they had been convinced he was a spy and had taken great pains to attempt to draw confession out of him. Great pains that Loki still bore the brunt of now. Though his silver tongue had convinced them otherwise, eventually, and allowed him to persuade them he could be of use.
This part of the plan, however, this was all his. A double-cross that Thanos and this foolish system lord should never see coming. He had persuaded the Titan that he wanted Midgard as his own realm and would be content in that petty prize to hand over the Tesseract, and now he would persuade this fool that he could have that same petty prize. For Loki did not want it, why should he desire to rule over the insects that mortals were? He only wanted to take it from Thor, to ruin something dear to him in recompense for all he had taken from Loki.
He would gift it to this greedy man and let him bear the brunt of Thor's anger for it, let Asgard be distracted by the Chitauri taking Earth and Thanos with the Tesseract, and he would quietly slide in the shadows to take from Odin what truly should be his by right. The throne of Asgard.
In order for that to work, he required this man to take the bait, and so he walked with him and talked with him as if they had all the time in the universe. His clothes were neat and his expression controlled, masking the worst of what still lingered from the tortures laid on him in past months.
"I have no wish for Midgard as a seat of my own." Loki spread his hands magnanimously. "In exchange for your assistance, you would take ownership of that realm. I merely ask for one spoil in return. A man will come who calls himself the protector of Midgard, he will wield a hammer and call down lightning. That hammer is the prize I claim."
no subject
“One man,” Peter can’t quite hide the skepticism even with the mask filtering his voice. “My fleet can deal with one man,” Peter’s bored out of his mind, but he also kept himself busy going into the family business of war. Even if this man was like Loki, capable of sneaking through a royal guard, he’s pretty sure he can’t make it through an orbital bombardment. “What’s so special about this hammer? If you want one that can fire lightning, you can get that custom made.”
Hell, you could even have it shoot fire or frost if you wanted. He had it done with his quad blasters. Best splurge ever.
Peter keeps sneaking glances over at Loki when he thinks he isn’t looking. It’s the stranger part, he tells himself, plus the fact he pulls a really good almost-human. If you look close enough, the hair seems almost too black, too fine for a human’s texture, the eyes slightly too green and sharp, but other than that, he would’ve thought he was another Earth-born. He tells himself this isn’t homesickness, it’s just curiosity, and because Loki has serious balls negotiating the way he has. No one’s ever just strolled in and talked to him like that.
no subject
Supreme control over his own expressions allowed him to keep the sneer from his face at the bold and utterly foolish ascertain that Thor could be so easily dealt with. Such was the same with all these lesser races, they all believed themselves so superior. Much as Loki detested to give Thor any kind of credit, the man was a warrior like no other and would hardly be taken down by a mere alien army.
"The hammer is mine by rights."
A simple answer, perhaps, for what was a complex issue. The hammer represented all that Thor was, all that he had taken from Loki, and he wanted it. It burned in his gut like fire. He was the worthy one, he had held Gungnir itself for a short time and sat legitimately on the throne of Asgard, Mjolnir had no right to deny him. He would see that rectified.
"It is of no use to you or any who follow you." Such was the truth, he doubted any would be capable of lifting it. "I believe it is a small price I ask in exchange for your spoils, do you deny this?"
no subject
It won't take much more pushing to get Peter entirely aboard with Operation Earth. If it's anything like he remembers from '88, they'll be easy to take over. Like it wouldn't even be a full day invasion, he could call it a vacation for his forces because they’d have to pull their punches for a change. It’s that or curbstomp Earth so bad that finding Loki’s rock and hammer might be…hard.
Peter thinks about it, letting the silence on his end stretch out of habit because it's what he does when he wants his audience seekers to squirm.
“I don’t deny it,” Peter lets Loki have that one, “But I’d like something more than a handshake that your price remains small and doesn’t magically change if we get there.”
He catches himself before he jumps the gun and says “when”.
no subject
And so his gait never falters as he walks beside the man he slipped in here to see, past the guards and security who were all so focused on what they saw that they were blind to a threat that walked in from a different path entirely. His expression remained serene, his hands loose at his sides.
"If my word is not binding enough for your tastes, what further proof do you imagine I am able to provide to sate your concern?"
He was exhausted and hurting, every step an agony and each minute a test of endurance to keep his control absolute and project the image of perfect confidence. He has nothing else to give and he does not wish to dance these steps with a man he considers beneath him. But he will, for it is necessary.
no subject
He points at the fancy scepter in Loki’s hand, unaware that it’s worth more than all of Earth combined, that all he has to do is sic his personal guard on Loki and take it for himself and he wouldn’t need an Asgardian to play allies with. To Star-Lord, it’s just an expensive prop, something that clearly he values because he’s holding it close like there’s no way he’ll let it leave his person. He’s even holding it on the other side, away from Peter. Considering he has nothing on the guy aside from a flashy entrance and a really attractive offer he doesn’t think he can refuse, he has nothing on Loki. Nothing to use as leverage, no clue what his weak spots are aside from some war hammer and the rock. And that. Peter gestures at the scepter, the glowing stone.
“How 'bout we hold onto that until we get your rock and your hammer and call it an even trade,” Peter could settle for that for now. At least until his spies can actually dig up something on Loki here. “I could shake on that.”
He keeps walking, deciding to keep the alien on his feet instead of offering him a chair and the usual refreshments a guest would have. If he’s hurt and hiding it, he’d prefer him uncomfortable, distracted by Peter instead of the eyes following them right now.
no subject
He held the sceptre, but the whispered voice from the Mind Stone within it gave instruction on how to deal with the Tesseract and fulfil the ultimate goal of the Chitauri and, consequently, Thanos.
Loki wanted Star-Lord with him no as an ally in the battle, that aid would be incidental to his plan. Loki wanted him there as a conquerer of Midgard to keep Thor and Thanos busy, to act as a loud and foolish distraction for Loki's true purpose. Binding him with the sceptre would make him useless for that task.
"This?" He twirled the sceptre in agile fingers as if surprised that it had even been taken note of. "I am sorry, but this does not belong to me and I cannot offer it as a bond to my word."
A half truth, at least. Or a lie with enough basis in truth that it should be believable.
"I am a man of little current possession." A smile pulled his lips up, a hint of his old wicked mischief behind the expression, though coloured much darker than the Loki of old. "And you are more fool than you look, difficult as that may be to achieve, if you think mere trinkets held in abeyance would secure me. My word is more binding than any object."
Now that was a lie, for him at least. He was in outward appearance the perfect offended Asgardian, however. Most believed their word an oath and their honour a precious thing to be defended. Loki saw the value in lies, however. His word was only good as long as it served his ultimate goals.
no subject
Peter laughs at the sheer balls on this guy, the sound distorted by the mask.
“If it's a 'mere trinket', then you shouldn't have any problems letting me hold onto it until I get Earth.”
He bets he could take it by force if push comes to shove. There's sneaking in somehow, keeping under the radar and then there's walking next to Star-Lord with all his royal guard – and then some – in the wings, ready to step in and bring a world of hurt if he orders it. They don't get many (read: any) Asgardians this side of the galaxy and because of that, Peter isn't going to buy Loki at his word just because he crossed his heart and made a pinky-promise. His word means jack all without something to grease the wheels. Peter decides to get right to the point instead of standing here seeing how long they can jerk each other off, holding up his hand with a flick of his fingers. Several of his royal guard materialize from where they had been positioned, pulse rifles aimed at Loki to make it clear this isn't a negotiation Peter's willing to tolerate all day. The rifles hum, low and throaty and making it clear they're primed. Either he forks it over for his peace of mind or Star-Lord loses his patience. It's simple.
Most people would make the easy choice right there on the spot.
Amazingly Loki still tries to barter and wheedle his way out. Peter's so caught up in the novelty of someone arguing back that he misses the little twist of Loki's arm, the slight shimmer indicating that he's creating an illusion. Peter's ready to issue the order to just shoot the squirrely little bastard when Loki heaves a sigh and holds out the scepter.
Peter takes it, his armored fingers curling around golden metal as he gives it an experimental heft. It's heavier than he expected from the way Loki was holding it and waving it around. Probably just ceremonial with how much this thing weighs, no way you could use this as a weapon without putting your back out. For now he seems to be satisfied - Peter holds out the scepter, expecting one of his guard to step up and take it without needing to be asked.
"Was that so hard?" Peter enjoys rubbing it in a little, smirking behind the mask. "You could use some lessons in learning to let go, Loki."
no subject
The various weapons pointed at him did not worry him overly much. Even injured and weary as he was, it would take a significant amount of damage to put him in any real danger. Asgardian bodies-- no, Jotun bodies, he must not live the lie even in his own thoughts any longer-- were stronger than the average human by quite significant amounts.
Sorcery, especially illusion, had been Loki's talent since he had been a young child and Frigga had first begun to whisper the secrets of magic in his ear. The more complex the illusion, or the more of them, then the more energy it consumed. To create something that was a perfect replica, including mass, that would hold to itself even without his presence, that took a lot of energy. Energy he could ill afford to expend in this condition, but he had little choice.
The spell itself, and the shielding of the true sceptre to make it invisible to prying eyes, went smoothly. Though he felt the tug deep within his bones and a wash of dizziness that had him stumble a mere half step.
"I shall endeavour to hold your lessons close to my heart." He smiled mirthlessly. "And when I have learned all I can from you, I shall thank you as you deserve."
no subject
Was that run of the mill ass-kissing or is he being paranoid, thinking he's making a threat underneath the niceties? Peter's been threatened to his face and in-between-the-lines so much that it blurs together, makes it hard sometimes to tell when someone's being upfront or being a dick in disguise. Usually aliens will back off when they remember he's J'son's favorite, but still. He'll have a better idea once his spy network comes back to him with something more than Loki's name and his favorite colors (just a guess but he's going with gold and green).
“You do that,” Peter with an imperious lift of his chin. He decides he doesn't like the tone of Loki's voice and he won't be getting his precious staff back after all: clearly they don't teach the magic word please from whatever rock Loki crawled out from. Depending on how Earth's invasion goes, he might make sure he just “happens” to be under the same orbital bombardment his brother is under, just because. “Now that you've demonstrated some goodwill, we can talk details: troops, supplies. Asgardian needs.”
He throws that in there, lacing it in with syrupy thickness as if he really does care if an Asgardian has allergies or special needs or Loki just wants one of the high priority guest suites to kick his feet up at. While he's talking, the guard with the glowing scepter melts away, leaving it just the two of them as if Loki hadn't been two seconds away from getting his pretty little face introduced to pulse rifles. Peter figures this is going well, all things considered.
no subject
The effort of creating the sceptre was too much. He can feel the swimming in his head that tells him that his body has been pushed to the limits, and there is a black fringing around his vision. He has no wish to pass out in front of this man. He will not show weakness or vulnerability which can be exploited.
"Such hospitality to your guests is commendable." Loki's lip curls in what is obviously disdain. He needs to rest, but he cannot say as much, and so he will take another angle which he hopes will have the same result. "I see that you possess no manners or civility in this place. Will there be no chambers at my disposal? No feasting? Or must we press on with such plans immediately?"
He waves a hand as if to say it was Peter's choice, as if he did not desperately need privacy and a bed with immediacy.
Could you timeskip us?
"You're the last person to lecture me about hospitality with that attitude," Peter's voice goes flat, all amusement wiped from his voice even through his mask's filters. "You walk on my planet, you breathe my air, you continue to exist because I'm that nice."
It's because he has his heart set on Earth that he doesn't just wave his hand and sic his guards on Loki, let him enjoy the view from one of the cells he has in the neighboring asteroid field while his fleet leaves without him. The mask tilts up.
"You'll get chambers," Peter goes on. He never said they'll be the good ones. He figures hey, he isn't throwing Loki into the detention cells so he's got nothing to bitch about - he should be grateful he even gave him the time of day. "You get a bed and a door and I wouldn't hold your breath from some party in your honor."
Peter starts to lift his hand again to give his guards the order to escort Loki to his home away from home. It should be easier to do this whole circlejerk with this alien if he has enough time to get dirt on him instead of feeling like he's on the wrong foot, like he's actually surprised what comes out of Loki's mouth.
