It will happen again because of the man that Tony Stark is. He’s tenacious, though not always in a good way. When he knows he has the upper hand, as long as nothing distracts him lime a dog with a bone seeing a squirrel up in the tree, he’s not about to let go. Loki’s surprise is telling. Thanos sent him, he knows that already, and given the way that Loki looks right now, it’s not a good relationship that they have. Loki might not fear them, but he does fear Thanos. Maybe he’s in a cult? Maybe that’s where Thor’s brother went wrong? Tony doesn’t know the supposed God of Thunder well enough to know his history and he and Steve didn’t take the detour they should have to discuss Loki with the other blond.
Their bad. Luckily, Tony’s often gone into situations where he doesn’t know everything. He has a way of coming out on top just the same.
Tony puts together pieces in this puzzle in a way only his mind can. Compartmentalized options move and shift until they find their place and he constructs a sort of narrative others might not. He’s decided that if this guy Thanos wants to destroy half, but not all of the universe, it means that he believes himself to be on a holy quest. He’s sent Loki to collect the Tesseract. Why hasn’t Loki just stolen it and left? Well, that might have to do with the fact that Thor had been here before and Loki and Thor have some weird, unfinished business to attend. That means that Loki is a little off of his leash.
And that Loki might actually be afraid of Thanos. Tony can work with all of that, even if only parts of it is true.
“Who doesn’t know Thanos?” Except for everyone. “We’ve been waiting for him for a long time. Thought he’d come himself and not send you, but whatever. What do you think we can trade him for you so he’ll hurry up and see us?”
Let Loki think that they’re nuts, like a planet full of death cultists. He’s got a feeling that Loki likes crazy, something to match him. Tony can give him that.
