[OLD] God or Goddess? (Lady Loki Oneshots)

(Pt. 3) 4 Times Loki gave something and the one time she got something

Note: my spelling of magick is not incorrect. It's often how witches spell it.

Bruce was another person Loki didn't interact with very much. He sometimes was present during experiments and testing, but they didn't cross paths very often. Bruce's involvement during the Halloween incident was really for Bruce to get back at Tony for a previous prank.

When they did cross paths, however, it was usually to clean up Thor's messes, as Thor and Bruce hung out quite a lot. If there was one thing Loki understood, it was how draining he was to deal with.

Loki had observed Bruce much like she had the other Avengers. She noticed they had similarities in a lot of things. That is to say, they both preferred quiet spaces, alone time, etcetera. The difference was Bruce was far more opposed to violence than Loki was, for obvious reasons. Loki was also opposed to Bruce being involved in violence, for obvious reasons.

Another thing Loki had observed about Bruce, another trait they shared, was his love of tea. Midgardian tea wasn't that bad, but Loki did know of far more elite teas across the realms. She was already in Alfheim for archery reasons, might as well make it a round trip.

The elves, aside from archery, were famous for their witchcraft. Some of witch(pun intended) were skilled in herbal magick, also known in the form of teas.

Tea on Midgard was more artificial than in other places, so getting Bruce a range of pure teas from across the realms seemed like a good idea.

"So, mine's not going to burst into flames or anything, is it?"

Loki and a few others let out a chuckle. "No no, it's not as dramatic as that."

"Fat chance," Tony exclaimed, his little flame buddy resting on his shoulder. "You got Legolas a bow from Elf-Land, which honestly makes my nickname work that much more so I applaud that."

Both Bruce, Loki and Clint rolled their eyes, and Bruce began tearing off the patterned paper. Underneath was a slim, wooden box with a clip keeping it shut. Bruce reached for the clip slowly.

"Go on then," Loki said, taking a sip of her cocoa. "It's not going to bite you."

Bruce flipped the lid open revealing a rainbow of packaged tea bags. Bruce took out one to examine it. "Tea?" He stated, having the word sound more like a question.

"Boring!" Tony shouted, earning him another eye roll and a giggle-like sound from his flame-friend.

Loki sighed. "Well if you must be entertained, I got them in Alfheim as well," she explained, emphasizing the name for Tony to remember. "Most of the types you will be familiar with, some you won't, and they may have stronger effects, but I can assure you that none of them are dangerous to mortals." Loki took another sip of her cocoa.

Bruce ruffled through a few more bags. "Thanks. I'll be sure to try some."

Loki nodded, raising her cup in a sort-of toast. "I recommend the moonflower tea. It's a bit of a 'pick me up' sort of drink."
