AU here with Loki doing time with the BPRD to help pay for his crimes against Midgard. New Asgard is a suzurainty in Norway under Thor, and establishing its place in the world. Infinity Stones+Thanos are still a coming threat.
He snorted, leaning forward on the table, a brow raised. "Harmless fun? I hope what I have for you entertains you more towards it than me. But, should you decide you need to have some harmless fun with me, just know I don't tend to run easy?"
He sighed, closing his laptop a moment and glancing to the door, then back to him. "It says they have had you on a few small cases so far, with several agents? How'd those go?"
"Easily enough. Baby stuff, from my perspective." Loki replied, not bothering to hide his disdain. "They needed more help figuring out what was going on so it could be properly dealt with. I'm not impressed."
"Pretty sure no one here is trying to impress you." Myers pointed out, a brow raised but a small smirk at his lips. Or trying to, at least.
There was a dark shadow at the frosted glass door, and a faint tap of a knuckle. "Ah, there we are. The rest of the team. It's open." He called to Liz.
Liz Sherman, dressed in all black as normal pushed the glass door open enough to slide in and let it close. Dressed in black leather pants, big tom boy black boots, and hiding her weapons and belt with a large black zip front hooded sweater, she ducked in to glance at the two of them. Her eyes glanced over Loki, curiously, before falling to Myers. "You called, John?"
"Yes. Come in, come in, take a seat. Have you two met?" John asked, taking a breath.
Liz glanced at Loki, but shook her head in answer s she came towards a chair across from him on the other side of the table. She had heard of him, of course. You always heard when a new asset came in. But they had not met.
No doubt the gossip around Loki had been numerous and heavy. Even for an asset he was notable; it was a wonder the BPRD hadn't been called in to deal with his invasion in some ways. Although given what he'd seen so far, it didn't surprise him that they weren't. He was convinced in many ways that they couldn't handle him, if he weren't behaving himself of his own volition.
Today he'd worn all black for his suit, with a bright green tie and that ever present gold circular tie-pin. Glancing over the other agent, and wondering about this one. He'd bet good mead she was hiding weapons under that sweater. "We have not." He answered Myer's question, a faint smile that couldn't easily be read on his face.
The BPRD handed supernatural, not alien. It's the MIB that had to deal with that mess, thank you. And honestly, if this hadn't been a favor for someone who knows someone who knows Thor? The MIB might have been dealing with Loki themselves.
And yes, Liz ws hiding weapons under the sweater. A pair of guns and a knife, as well as a belt full of relics, but that was just how she dressed. She didn't care who saw. But she glanced over the man, knowing h e was an asset, but surprised he looked so... human? Most their assets, besides her, didn't look completely human. still, not too surprised.
John smiled at them both. "Well then, Liz Sherman please meet Loki..." She glanced down to a note, to make sure he had the right last name. But Liz spoke up.
"Odinson. I've heard of his work." She said in a flat tone, moving to rest her hand on the table, watching Myers. "Scared Jones off into retirement. Not that it was hard to do. HB already had him on edge." she snorted, glancing to the man and giving a nod.
"Yes, well... how is Hellboy, anyhow?" Myers asked, brow raised.
"Grumpy, as normal. I don't think he cares for our new asset getting all the attention." she said towards Loki.
Well, a point in her favor as she used the correct name. She was either smart and sharp, or had been warned somehow by enough people he'd noted it too. "With a name like that, I don't quite blame him for being grumpy. Descriptive as it might be, it's hardly friendly." Because of course he had a remark about it. But he inclined his head, uncrossed his arms and settled back in the chair slightly. Relaxing only a fraction, or at least putting on a show of doing so. "Ms. Sherman." Greeting her politely. "Or would you prefer Agent Sherman?"
Her brow raised at his comment about Hellboy's name, but she also couldn't deny it either? She gave the faintest of nod and brow raise to it, then a glance to Myers. Really? You should have waited for Red to get back and pair him with this guy.
But she simply glanced back and said "Agent is fine." She didn't like being an agent though, so after a moment, a dead. "Or just Liz." Her voice was flat again, giving him a shrug. "Why are we here, John?"
John glanced between the two, smiling. "A case. One w ell suited to Loki here. Or so they hope."
"One that hopefully will interest me. No one wants me bored." With a wicked grin. "So far what they've given me have been tame and dull. I'm very unimpressed."
She rolled her eyes at that, but too looked at Myers as if expecting something... interesting. "I doubt anything is going to impress you."
Myers sighed, and moved to push two folders forward, one to her, then one to Loki. "We're sending you and a small crew to a very remote place in old Russia. Haunted ruins, it seems. Or perhaps a haunted house? As you can see in the folder, there is no home there. Just rubble of a burned building? But this teen boy came stumbling out of it, saying it's a full house, babbling about the past. He's claiming illusion. So, who better to find an illusion then you?"
Loki took the file, opening it and studying the information swiftly. "Illusion alone wouldn't account for the boy's outdated clothing or belief he's from it. Unless whoever set it was very talented. I presume the boy has been questioned for facts that can be confirmed to only be relevant from the time he claims to be from?" Flipping through the file, looking to see if there was a page about that.
An illusory house was not interesting. But an illusory house that might be a rip in space and portal? That was interesting.
