“They’re only staring because you look so good.” Tony replied. “You may not see it, but I can tell, half of them trying to figure out how they can steal you away.” He smirked, arm wrapped around Loki’s waist possessively. “Now come on, I’ll introduce you to Charles.” Leading Loki over, he introduced the god to the mutant. “This is Professor Charles Xavier. Leader of the X-Men, one of the most powerful mutants in the world, and all around genius.” Tony smiled. Charles sat a little straighter in his chair, smiling at Loki and extending a hand. “I’ve been told about you. Tony and the other Avengers seem to be rather fond of you.” He said slowly, settling back into his chair once he’d shook Loki’s hand. Elbows resting on the armrests, he linked his fingers in front of himself. “The fact that you managed to snag Tony has been all the talk at my school.” Tony sniffed at that. “Oh not you too.” He grumbled.

Charles smiled at Loki’s surprise. Shaking his head at the offer to seal his mind, Charles sighed. “Not to sound conceited, but I doubt that would work. Especially since you share…..thoughts and emotions I suppose, with Tony. Even the slightest cracks and I hear you.” He said slowly. “But don’t worry. I have no intention of invading your thoughts or listening in, I have been around long enough to have developed…..selective hearing of thoughts.” He offered.
Bruce had watched the whole thing with amusement. “You really don’t have to worry Loki. Tony is the most paranoid person I know and Charles doesn’t bother him.’ He offered, Tony rolling his eyes in response. “But just so you know what you’re dealing with, Charles is powerful enough that if he uses a machine that was designed for him, he can hear the thoughts of every person on the earth.”
Charles looked to Bruce, a bit bemused that the scientist was sharing that information, but nodded to show it was true. “I can…..again, something I do only when needed. But I must say, the minds of those….not of this earth, are rather fascinating. They shine out a little brighter. Perhaps because I am merely unused to them. But they have been rather intriguing over the past few years.” Shifting a bit, he shook his head, dismissing the subject. “But on the topic of my physical limitations, I suppose I can see where your culture would be rather harsh for people of limited capabilities, but on Earth, at least in modern times, there are many people who live without use of one, several, or even all of their limbs, some people without one or several of their senses even.” He explained. “We make innovations to allow us to be little to no burden.” He said, motioning to the wheels of his chair. “Though there are some things we can’t manage, like for me, stairs due tend to pose a problem.”

Charles nodded at Loki’s question. “All minds are different, unique, but certain groups share certain characteristics. Mutants tend to shine blue or white, humans without mutant abilities have other colors, some groups tend to have brighter, stronger minds, some seem to be fading. Aliens in general tend to shine brighter, like a beacon. That is why I overheard your thoughts when you approached, I wasn’t quite prepared to turn my mind elsewhere.” He explained.
When Loki mentioned trade with Earth, Charles arched a brow. “is that so? It certainly would be an interesting opportunity. I would think there would be little of interest on Earth for Asgardians though. We’re mortals with no inherit abilities as a whole.” He said slowly. “But I do suppose the cultural exchange would flourish.”
“It would be interesting, but I think that’s a long way off though.” Tony chimed in. “We’d have to get the majority of humans to agree to something like that, and you know how politics are.” Charles frowned slightly at that, but gave a small nod. His disappointment was interrupted by someone else approaching. A man covered in blue fur slowly came up, looking over the group. “I hope I’m not interrupting.” He said slowly. Tony stood with a small smile. “Of course not. How are you Beast?” he greeted, shaking his hand. “I’m doing fine. I just wanted to thank you for this. Most of the people here needed this distraction.” He smiled, revealing sharp white teeth. “It’s not a problem.” Tony said before looking to Loki. “Lo, babe, meet Hank McCoy, also goes by Beast. He’s one of Charles’ mutants.” He said, smirking, wondering what Loki’s reaction would be.

“Aliens is a general term we use for people not of Earth.” Bruce provided to Loki’s question.
Tony smiled slightly at Loki’s nervousness before reaching over to sooth him across the bond. “Don’t be scared. Hank is one of the kindest, most polite, and patient men in this room. He may look intimidating, but he’s still a human. Don’t judge him solely by his looks. Just like I didn’t judge you for your Jotun form.” He whispered across the bond, chiding Loki a bit. He understood though. Hank was intimidating to meet when unprepared, but he was unjustly judged like so many others.
Hank flashed another smile, giving Loki’s hand a firm shake, though nowhere near hard or painful. “It’s a pleasure to meet you.” He said lightly. “I wasn’t sure if you and your brother would actually attend. I didn’t know if Asgardians knew about human holidays, or if they would be willing to attend. but it is nice that both of you decided to join in the festivities.” He said lightly. “Now if you’ll excuse me, I see some food that is simply calling my name.” he said, nodding to them noth and moving past Charles toward some tables set up with food, patting the man’s shoulder as he passed.

Tony wrapped an arm around Loki as Hank walked away. ‘See? Your Jotun form isn’t overly surprising to us. We can look like that.’ He joked, looking around, trying to see if he spotted anyone else for his example. ‘Or that.’ He said, motioning towards where The Thing stood. Pulling Loki back to where they’s been sitting, he moved his arm around Loki’s shoulders, halfway thinking about pulling him into his lap but decided against it to not embarrass Loki somehow.
Charles smiled as they sat again. “You do not have to try and keep me company.” He said lightly, Tony shaking his head. “I don’t mind.” Tony replied. “Besides the party hasn’t been going on long enough to be really fun yet.” He joked. His humor faded slightly when he spotted someone else approaching. “Reed.” Bruce greeted happily, shaking the man’s hand. “Hello Bruce.” He greeted, sitting down as well, nodding to Charles and Tony. “Loki, this is Reed Richards…..leader of the Fantastic Four.” Bruce introduced.
