Tony looked strained as he walked in to the office on Monday morning. Hermione spent her weekend hanging out with Ginny listening to her adventures in to the pyramids in Egypt and how she wanted to go back. While Hermione loved her job there was that part of her that would just love to go with the red-head on an adventure. She shoved her wand in to her hair and looked over at the usually overly talkative man and frowned, most mornings she needed to tell him to shut up for the first hour while she drank down two cups of strong black tea. This morning he hadn’t even noticed the tight tank top she was wearing or the make-up she’d carefully put on.

“What’s wrong?” Hermione asked him “You seem…off”

“Sorry” He sighed “Long weekend”

“Want to tell me about it?” She asked, sitting down on the corner of his desk “I’m a good listener and I was told once that I was smart, I may be able to help you”

Tony looked at her for a moment and then went on to tell her about Thor showing up with his murderous brother and how they were in his apartment. She listened to his worry about Loki bothering the magical world which made her frown and about Thor’s obvious inability to see his brothers faults. Hermione frowned, she’d heard about the horrors that Loki had brought to New York and she knew that Tony’s fears (though he insisted he wasn’t afraid) were legitimate. Without being able to instantly think of something to say to make him feel better, Hermione broke her own ‘no contact’ rule and pulled him close to her, wrapping her arms around him.

“Free hugs?” Banner asked from the doorway “I want one”

“I think those hugs are only meant for Mr. Stark” Came a familiar, dreamy voice “She seems to like him a lot”

“Luna?!” Hermione turned from Tony’s arms quickly, her eyes taking in the blonde haired woman. Luna had been away at University for years, she’d gone for regular classes and then got lost in more and more classes. She was still medium height, waist-length platinum blonde hair, large pale blue eyes, a round pale face with a wide, beautiful and very much missed dreamy smile “What…?”

“Hermione” Luna said “I have missed you very much” She looked around the office as she walked in a little further, now in the better light Hermione could see bags under her red-rimmed eyes “When I left you were running around Malfoy, Inc. pushing papers and now…” She looked round the spacious office again “I like it”

“Thank you” Tony said, looking at Hermione as the other girl looked ready to cry “Are you…”

“Luna” Hermione took both of her hands and pulled her closer to her desk “I couldn’t work of them anymore, you know how the Malfoy’s are, better than anyone else”

“I know that they, like everyone else in the war, did what they had to do to survive” Luna said by way of answering “I know that they can be cold and calculating but that’s just how they’ve always been and breaking that kind of habit is difficult”

“So what are you doing back in Wizarding London?” Hermione asked, after a moment of awkward silence “Last I heard you were in Tibet or something”

“I’ve been in India actually” Luna said “I’ve been to Africa, Egypt, the Amazon, Cuba…just about everywhere”

“And what are you doing out there?” Hermione asked, feeling that damn familiar feeling of jealousy pass over her. While she was stuck in an office behind a desk Ginny and Luna had been off meeting people, seeing new lands, living off the earth…she hated it.

“Learning mostly” Luna answered “I’ve helped third-world wizarding communities become more self-sufficient, build schools, hunt, build homes…it’s been wonderful”

“Who is this, Hermione?” Tony asked, finally.

“Luna Lovegood” Hermione answered “One of my good friends from school, we’ve not seen one another in a few years” She looked back at Luna “What has you coming home?”

“My father’s passed away” She answered, her bottom lip quivered a little.

“I’m so sorry about your loss” Hermione rushed forward and hugged her friend “I didn’t hear…is there anything that I can do?”

“Well, yes actually” Luna answered “You could give me a job”

“Don’t you have to go back to India?” Hermione asked “I mean…I can’t just say yes, I have to talk to Tony, Bruce and Jarvis”

“I know” She said quickly “You see, my father left me his house and the paper but the Quibbler hasn’t had a paper out in ages and I…learned so much about myself and I don’t want to be a newspaper editor”

“What do you want to be?” Hermione asked “And what does it have to do with Visi-Ban Industries?”

“I’m good with people” She answered “I could sell salt-water to a person stranded in the middle of the ocean” Luna didn’t sound cocky at all, more just confident and she was striking a nerve as Tony was worried about Hermione travelling for them too much when she should be in the office with him “I could meet your clients, get a feel for them and give them a teasing taste of what you guys have to offer”

“Hermione” Tony walked forward “We could try her out. We’d never know how good or how bad she is unless we try…your place is here now that we’re up against Malfoy, Inc., we need you here not out there doing meet and greets and kissing ass we need you here…kicking it instead”

“Bruce what do you think?” Hermione asked, not looking at Luna just passing her over.

“I think we should try” He answered “Just like Tony said”

“Jarvis?” She called out a little louder.

“It’s not a bad idea” Jarvis said walking in through the door, Luna turned her head to look at him and gasped upon seeing his face and he stopped, giving her an almost cold and calculating look “She could be an asset to the company”

“You can start tomorrow” Hermione told her “Take today to rest and be here for nine o’clock”

“Thank you” Luna gushed “Thank you so much”

Loki didn’t always set out to cause mischief, not all the time, it was just his nature. It usually happened when his mind wasn’t being thoroughly occupied, when he was on Asguard he had women to entertain him or war or at the very least his books but here on Midgard there was nothing. They wouldn’t allow him to leave Starks apartment and there was no one in the apartment that was his intellectual equal. Loki was bored and that was when mischief usually started. He looked over at Thor, who was napping on the couch then he crept out of the living room to the front door and after stopping to listen for Thor he slid out of the front door. On Asguard he had only been bothered to peek at the magical world but never really watch it so he felt a thrill of adventure unfolding before him.

He walked out the back entrance in to the magical world as the front entrance led to the muggle world. He laughed to himself, everyone wore such bright colors here, crazy capes or cloaks, those who did venture in to wearing muggle clothing wore bright pastel colors that made him sneer. The younger adults he noted wore more normal articles of muggle clothing, he looked in shop windows at cauldrons, broomsticks and owls. He popped in to an animal store and decided that before the day was out he may go back in a buy himself a companion. He would turn Thor in to an animal again but he was unable to make the god a small and meek enough animal and then he had to put up with being attacked by something that could actually cause him pain. He walked up to a ghastly decorated joke shop, he snorted as the shop promised mischief, pranks and fun for all. It seemed to him that the only person who actually enjoyed a prank or joke was the person playing it. He entered it, instantly amused by the stuff flying around, hissing, spitting, shaking cages, popping and a few things that made even him jump in surprise.

“Welcome to the Weasleys joke shop” A red-haired man walked over “We have anything that you could ever want, all you have to do is ask”

“Thanks” Loki muttered as he picked up a pink potions bottle.

“Nifty little love potion that is” The red-haired man said “My brother was slipped some on accident during his sixth year…it was hilarious, but because of that little problem we now have to sell the antidote too” He indicated the little blue phial connected to it “Nothing bad can happen with this potion. It’s just lovey feelings but it will keep everyone safe, no rape or forced anything on this potion but still…” He shrugged and looked ruefully at the two phials “It was Fred’s favorite potion we made here” He said it more to himself than to Loki.

“Then why don’t you just sell the antidote in pill or hard-candy form?” Loki asked, looking at the man.

“What do you mean?” George asked, raising a brow at the dark man.

“You need only provide the antidote, right?” Loki asked and George nodded “You don’t have to make sure they take it, that’s not your job. The amusement in this Love Potion is that someone takes it, acts like a fool for a while and then I imagine they are back to normal, correct?”

“Yes” George said, waving Bill away who’d come over to see if he needed help getting rid of the man.

“Then provide the antidote like they demand” Loki said “But make it in small form, odds are they will end up dropping it, throwing it away or losing it. They would have no case if they brought it before a court because you’ve done as instructed and provided the antidote, like I said before what happens after you’ve sold it isn’t your problem”

“You’re bloody brilliant!” George pulled out a small notebook and wrote a few things down “Awesome, do you run your own joke shop?”

“No” Loki answered, giving him a look that clearly questioned his intelligence level “I just…know how to cause a little mischief”

“Brilliant” George muttered as he flipped through his notebook, his eyes fell on something that he and Fred had been working on before the war. It was a simple straw that made it possible to see if something had been added to ones drink, anything from deadly potions, mildly annoying potions to muggle date-rape drugs. George had been working on it for weeks in hopes of selling it to Visi-Ban Industries to distribute to the muggle world. But he needed help with it, he needed someone with his brothers brains and mischief level. His other brothers just didn’t fill that spot, he looked at the notebook again “Would it be possible for you to come back around eight tonight, I have a few things I’d like to chat with you about”

“Really?” Loki looked mildly interested “I suppose I could stop by” Deciding that he was more hungry than interested in shopping, and a little confused as to why someone wanted to spend time and talk to him, Loki turned and left the store making his way to a little café that was a little further down the cobblestone walkway.

“Who” Ginny asked as she walked over to her brother “Was that darkly beautiful creature?”

“I don’t know” George whispered watching the man walk out “I didn’t catch his name”

“Who needs a name?” Ginny muttered “As long as you get to stare at that ass walking away”
