“Do we have to...?” Though Banner has stuck around, and Thor comes and goes, it’s been nice to mostly just work with Loki. Tony has always been a loner, and while Pepper and Happy had been by his side from time to time, they’d known to let him be. Dragging more people into the ring seems like an undo hardship.

Still, this isn’t his area of expertise. Technically, it’s not Thor’s either, but with an eye roll, Tony agrees. “Where’d he get to?”

Probably with that astrophysicist. She seems... boring. Which means of course that she’ll come along too. Tony rolls his eyes again and has JARVIS find Jane Foster.

At least his hands few warmer now.

Loki snickered at Tony's reluctance to invite Thor and his human into their his space. It's unclear to him whether the human had always been this private, or if it is the subtle influence of the bond. Either way, it benefitted Loki.

"I simply need to ask him a few questions about his powers. If I am correct, he will be feeling something of an effect as well. You furnished him with one of these 'smartphones', yes?"

“Then he doesn’t have to come here?” Tony fishes the phone from his pocket and hands it to Loki. “Knock your socks off.”

He’s going to busy himself analyzing atmospheric differences just in case it’s some sort of natural phenomenon interrupting Loki and his magic.

Thor, at least, is pleased to have his brother call him and he sounds honestly excited to hear his voice. “Brother! Jane Foster and I were just speaking of you. Heimdall seems angry with me. Did you or I say anything when last we were in Asgard?”

"So you have been in contact?" Loki breathed a sigh of relief. At least that means Asgard is safe.

"Something is interfering with my magic, and I fear it may have something to do with his silence. How fare your powers?" If he's right, Thor will notice some difficulty, but will retain most of his abilities as they are mostly innate rather than learned.

There’s silence for a moment before Thor snorts. “No. Yes. Not long ago. Jane, one moment,” Thor says on the other end of the line and inadvertently slams the door as he heads outside. “I asked to bring Jane Foster to Asgard and he has not spoke with me since.” Which is unfair. Loki was allowed to bring his mortal. “Tell me what is wrong with your magic?”

"I..." Loki looks around as if anyone other than himself or Tony even could be in the room. "I can't feel it. At all." He know he sounds a bit like a frightened child, but it's so hard to care right now.

"It's different than with the shackles. It isn't suppressed, my connection to Yggdrasil is gone."
