who: Victor von Doom and you
what: punching and heroing
when: mid-June
where: all over
warnings: violence

i. experiment
After his call for volunteers, Doom had spent his time looking for a place to do his little experiment without any worry of people thinking a brawl had broken out. Once he had found a place, some little clearing out in the abandoned area, he had set up a few magical precautions to keep himself safe before contacting those that had expressed interest in assisting him. One at a time, of course, since he really didn't want them all to show up and decide on a free-for-all since that would ruin the entire point of this whole experiment. Whenever people start to finally arrive, Victor himself was standing there, looking very out of place in his nice suit and seemingly unarmed. Not that he really seems to care about how he appears.

"Are you ready to get started or would you like a moment to get ready?"

ii. iron man
It didn't really matter that Tony Stark was here and not in a coma. Victor was Iron Man now and he was going to hold onto that for as long as he possibly could. Until the inevitable showdown, he was going to be patrolling around in his own Iron Man armor, both flying and walking. Every so often, he'd stop and help someone out before heading back on his way, trying to make as little of scene as possible as he could while wearing intimidating armor and a cloak. He's not doing this for recognition, after all, instead trying to not be selfish while wearing the armor. He has a legacy to uphold and he will not tarnish it, especially not now.

"You look like an episode of 'Pimp My Iron Man'."

At the very least, Loki isn't lying. Hand on a hip, he steps backwards on the rooftop in invitation for Victor to follow and stop ... hovering.

"Which brings me to my next question, why have you swapped out one metal cage for another? You obviously don't need one anymore."

Quietly judging Victor's choices, yes.

What is apt is apt. He would laugh, only ...

"Why should his legacy have ended?"

The sight, again, of Victor owning a face keeps Loki grounded and on-topic, smile morphing into a frown.

Grumpier by the minute, he mutters, "Silly wrestler's name," then louder to Victor, "Why is he incapacitated?"

Loki knows Anthony isn't at his best back home, but. Wow. He never mentioned anything to this degree of weird.

"You are the most frustrating person. What was his stance?" The last time Tony stood up for something, HeroPedia didn't record it in a positive light. "What happened to him?"

He knew something had gone wrong (again) back home but for all Tony's fussing and camaraderie he hasn't been entirely honest; the hint was enough, sure, but there's still part of Loki that smarts at the knowledge he wasn't trusted. Not really.

Sullen, he looks Victor over and gives him a sigh.

"Whatever." Care for the Man of Iron? Laughable, not worth mentioning him a second time. "You remember that awful prison you made for me out of time and space? There's another problem going on with hints of those same flavours, you've already volunteered to assist with it. The portal is currently corrupted and I'm sucking it up when I tell you to be sure you sort it out to the best of your newfound heroic ability."

Because, Doom though he is, Victor happens to be brilliant. And Loki's best shot at reversing the spell when bereft of his own magic in full.

"Oh, please don't." There would be no telling what the Hel Victor might conjure up while Loki can't case it properly, unable to defend himself with some proper snooping.

He cocks his head.

"Why do you want me to be back to normal? Isn't it more convenient for you if I'm ... diminished?"

Not only in size.
