"Let me think about it. After being frozen for 70 years, you find yourself out of place when you return to the crowd. The behavior and thinking of the people around you are contrary to your values. But out of your primitive sense of justice, you have to protect these people. Doing so will obviously put you in a contradiction."
Inside the glass case, Loki put his hands behind his back and talked calmly to Captain America.
"That's a lame way of provoking someone. We stopped using it 70 years ago." Captain America found it refreshing to answer Loki the way Stark did.
"Perhaps you can think of this as provocation, but no one knows you better than me, Captain. You cannot hide the loneliness in your heart. You long for your old companions because you feel they can understand you and you can live more easily with them."
Loki didn't comment, he just said what he wanted to say.
At the same time, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Captain America with interest, observing his reaction to these words.
As for Captain America, his expression changed as he expected.
Captain America frowned and stopped confronting Loki for a while.
"As expected, I was right. Let me guess, you must be eager to see your old friends now, right? Perhaps, this is not such a far-fetched thing..." Loki said with a meaningful smile.
"That's enough, Loki. Put away your tricks. There's nothing wrong with this generation. You might as well pay more attention to yourself and tell the truth about your conspiracy."
Captain America had been through many battles, and when he found himself gradually losing the upper hand, he chose to withdraw.
"What a pity! You could have known something surprising, but on this ship, you will never know. I hope you won't be disappointed after discovering the truth."
Loki looked at Captain America's determined back as he turned around, and shouted excitedly in the glass case.
He likes the feeling of being played around by others. He is deliberately guiding Captain America to question some things, burying the seeds, waiting for them to sprout, and finally letting the other party reveal the matter himself. The scene will definitely be exciting then.
"It seems that your chat with the captain was not very pleasant."
Not long after Captain America left, Stark walked to the glass cover. Each of them had the authority to interrogate Loki and look for clues about the conspiracy behind it.
"It may be the age gap. Although I am thousands of years old, I can't understand this person who lived only 70 years ago." Loki smiled. He liked this new visitor.
Among his targets, his interest in Stark was as strong as that in the other guy.
"Didn't the captain say that your provocations were low-level?"
Stark just looked up at Loki and began to sneer.
"Oh, I didn't realize that you and he have some of the same traits." Loki smiled after being mocked by two people.
"Where does this trait come from? Let me think, a genius of the new century, a person with a brilliant mind, who is often helpless because of the stupidity of the people around him, actually finds common ground with an old antique." Loki seemed disappointed, he shook his head, "From someone you both know? Let me guess, judging by the age difference, that person might be your father."
"Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Alien. Oh, or should I say, 'the patron saint of earthlings'? But I want to tell you that no matter where you learned this from, it is not enough to make me angry. After all, you just said that this is indeed a top-notch brain, and your tricks have no effect in front of it."
After hearing these words, Stark shrugged slightly, then smiled and shook his head.
Tollin's good fortune, he'd been through much tougher things than this kind of provocation before—ever since he'd drank the Felicity Potion that changed his personality and then returned him back to his old self, he seemed immune to that kind of extreme mood swings.
This kind of extreme emotion once troubled him, often causing his emotional impulse to overwhelm his rational thinking. If it were in the past, he would probably have lost his temper after hearing what Loki said, but now, he looked at Loki as if he were watching a farce.
"interesting."
Loki naturally discovered this as well.
You should know that he is not fighting alone. In fact, the Mind Gem and the Scepter were also locked up with him. The scepter is still connected to him and is displayed in the Avengers' meeting room.
Due to their close contact with the Mind Stone, these Avengers will inevitably be affected. Their emotions will become unstable, and they will begin to be suspicious and distrustful. Coupled with Loki's own art of words, it will be easy to sow discord among them in the end.
But the Iron Man standing in front of him didn't seem to be affected at all.
This made Loki very curious, and at the same time he also felt a sense of excitement.
"Maybe. After all, I am locked up here by you and I have to find a way to save myself. I need to prove my worth so that I won't be thrown out of this cage by you and fall to my death on the reef, right?" Loki said these words in a light-hearted tone.
"You seem to be proving that your title of 'God of Fraud' is not genuine. It looks like a title added in some children's fairy tale." Stark was also curious. He wanted to know why the other party could remain so calm and composed in such a situation, so he also began to mock him.
"To be honest, I don't like this title, but there is no other way. This is the name my father gave me. He thought I was very good at strategizing and helped him conquer many enemies, so he thought this was a very suitable honor. However, my father does not understand me. Loki put his hands behind his back and began to pace in the glass case, glancing at Stark from time to time.
"Perhaps, this is what you Earthlings call parents. Whether it's Asgard or Earth, these parents always act in a commanding manner. Oh, please don't misunderstand me for criticizing them. On the contrary, what I want to say is that these parents use some method to make us gradually understand their practices after we grow up. My father is like this, and so is your father."
"You seem to know too much." Stark was a little displeased when he heard Loki talking about his father.
The relationship between him and old Howard is not something that a guy who suddenly appeared out of nowhere can judge.
"You see, it turns out that we are the same kind of people. We both have deep feelings for that father. But speaking of father, haven't you ever thought about one thing over the years?" Loki finally turned the topic to where he wanted to extend it.
