Loki smiled, leaning against the car as he watched her work. When she was done, he reached out for her hand, their fingers easily intertwining together. "Then, lead on and I shall spin you around like no other."

He was quiet, walking with her to the restaurant in a comfortable silence as his mind whirled. It wounded him that Bruce would not want him to have such happiness. He could not understand their strong desire to not allow Loki to have his. All he wanted was a chance to spend time with someone who did not find him so repulsive.

His brow furrowed as he walked, unable to think of little else. Diana was not so naive. She saw who Loki was and still cared for him. A small sigh slipped out as Loki felt his anger building inside of him and he was very tempted to do something drastic to Dr. Banner.

Just once, he wished Thor's little group of friends would just dismiss him like Thor did so easily.
