So, in the past few weeks I've been:

Burnt, frozen -- twice! -- and then screamed at so loudly that it felt like I was burning; which, lemme tell ya? Is murder on the ear drums,
Slammed through a wall, then another wall, then a third and a fourth, all because I asked a suspiciously girl-shaped monster if she'd lost her way,
Had to catch the same gang of crooks more times than I would've liked, and then had to watch them break out of prison and almost get eaten by what looked like a flock of fire hydrants with teeth. Yeah, time travel? Not cool when it's wild.
Forced to squeeze pennies like I was trying to give the inside of hand a tattoo of good ol' honest Abe, which is just nuts. I mean, seriously -- I know we're in a recession and whatnot, but a gallon of milk is five dollars and I'm officially the most broke healthy person on the planet!

And now, Valentine's day is coming up. The big two-fourteen: bane of every single person and job-addicted superhero everywhere. I've got good memories of the day from back home, but truth be told? Manhattan is not the place you want to be come dusk on Valentine's day. Especially if you main mode of transportation is web swinging at a height of just high enough to not have to deal with all the lovey-dovey proclamations of, well, love; but, also not so high that you can't help but accidentally see couples in pent houses getting, ah -- well, you get my point!

[ A beat, as if he's thinking of something. ]

What were your Valentine's days like, before you came here? Can't be worse than mine, I bet.

You need to eat more than that.

And so long as it's stable and not going to collapse, expand the inside if you would like.

Now march yourself down there and eat actual food.

[He's just kind of staring at the screen, half, did this mortal just order me to eat, of all things and half oh shit, I better do what he says.]

Truly, my appetite is settled at the moment. And perhaps for a while. ...it has been a long week.

[It's the dad tone.]

Yes, it has. You still need more than caffeine and sugar to survive.

What do you like to eat? You ate more than that back home.

[Which perplexes him.]

In Asgard, mostly brandied pears and whatever meat was being served.

...I mostly ate junk food back in Paris.

Fruit and meat have nutrients.

So do Jubilee. You see how tall she grew up to be.

[Count down to Jubilee yelling in 3...2...1...]

God. You cannot compare my growth with that of a human. [Dismissive]

Mutants aren't human Loki.

Or that of a mutant, then.

Perhaps not, but it still wouldn't hurt you to eat better.

You have my word I will try from now on.

That's all I ask.

By the way, Youko wishes to cook for you all at some point in a show of gratitude, but she's too shy to say anything.

It will likely be Japanese and involve tofu and radishes, so do not be alarmed.

She doesn't need to, but if she truly feels the need, I wouldn't refuse. I've had Japanese food before. Jubilee and I go out occasionally. I don't eat pork, if you wouldn't mind passing that along?

She wants to, likes to feel useful and all.

Mm. I shall. But might I ask why you do not eat it?

Sweet child.

[And he means that.]

Most Jews don't, it's one of the dietary laws. And personally, the texture and smell make me more than a bit ill.

[Here she is, preparing for a very important Valentine's day and NOOOOO Magneto has to go ruin it for her! She's going to find him. And throw balled up socks at him.]

I'm not short; I'm CHINESE!

[He catches it.]

And I'm Jewish, what's your point?

That my height is genetic and has nothing to do with what I eat. Besides, if I didn't eat that stuff, I'd be a skeleton and you know it.

[She sticks her tongue out at him.]

I was shorter before I was deaged, you know. And you live off junk food.

[Ick Jubilee.]

Pardon me for wanting to shove you all full of veggies and fruits.

I eat perfectly fine! Or at least whatever Frances shoves at me.

[Meaning she eats a helluva lot better than you.]

besides, you're one to talk. At least I don't only live off of coffee.

Francis is good for that.

[He's old. He's allowed.]

I don't. You're not the only one soaking under sunlamps, you know.

[Or. Other sources.]

I soak under sunlamps because otherwise I get way depressed and lose my tan. And that's not the same as eating and you know it.

It's not that different for me, though.

[He sighs.]

I'll be fine. I promise.

[Even better, because Lucifer has fixed his shoulder.]

It's not the same, Michael. And you know that, no matter what your body decides.

[Nope, crossing her arms and glaring.]

Do I need to tattle to Francis, Emma, and Unohana?

[Because she will.]

[He fixes her a return glare.]

I don't need minding Jubilee. The last few days have been rough. The next few will be. And then things will even out.
