Summer didn\u2019t try to stop him. Didn\u2019t anything. He was numb; she was numb. Dummy was \u2026 Dummy had left. Because of her.\u00a0Common sense began to reassert itself there, though.<\/p>\n

Because, truthfully, Dummy was always going to conflict with her, wasn\u2019t he? He wanted Tony all to himself, and Tony had made it more than clear to her, if to no one else, that he didn\u2019t want that to happen. That he wanted as much as they were both, or all, willing to give him, and wanted to share himself among them as much as they would let him.<\/p>\n

It would have been a problem eventually. Even she could see that, still castigating herself for her role in Dummy\u2019s departure. So much of what she had said had been, if warped, truth. Cruel truth, wielded with an unkind tongue, but truth. Dummy would have forced Tony to choose.<\/p>\n

Summer drew a deep breath. \u201cJarvis, please let me know when he lands safely. Just text me. Otherwise I\u2019ll worry. I guess you have protocols for locking down his living area when he\u2019s not here? Is there anyone else here right now?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

-I am uncertain as to where he is planning on going, as he is refusing to answer me, but I shall do my best to keep you informed, Miss Summer.\u00a0 The children are in guest wing A, and Loki is in guest wing B.\u00a0 There are also a few workers still, though I suspect they will be leaving shortly.-<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cOkay. I don\u2019t care where he\u2019s going. You\u2019re part of the suit, you\u2019ll know when he takes it off. That\u2019s all I want.\u201d Then her mind actually caught up with what Jarvis was saying. \u201cLoki. He has Loki here. What in the actual fuck.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

-Mr. Stark has met multiple incarnations of Loki already.\u00a0 I believe he used the term \u2018spacey-wacey\u2019 to describe it.-<\/strong><\/em> The AI sounded faintly amused as he said it.\u00a0 -This one in particular asked for safe lodging, and has proved relatively harmless, if incredibly inquisitive, so far.-<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

She put it in the ‘Not My Division’ heap. “He’s going to kick me when he finds out about this,” she muttered. “Okay. Okay. Lock up his personal spaces, the workshop, the garage. To me, too.” She glanced out into the living area, with the lights she’d strung softly glowing. Tears stung her eyes again, but she blinked them away, walking a straight line to the landing pad door. “Jarvis, I know you aren’t human, but I love you, too.” Then she stepped off the edge, catching herself halfway down.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
