"The last time there was a war over someone finding out about Loki's parentage, he's the one who started it," she said drily. "You can trust him to behave."

“At this point, he’s not the one I worry about,” Adrian said darkly. “We’re facing a Luthor presidency-“

"Adrian, you worry too much," said Teja gently, putting her hand on his arm. They were drifting along before actually rejoining the party; she thought about Loki holding the attention of a small group and smiled a little to herself. Then she pictured him holding the attention of a bunch of cultists and it faltered. "...with just cause, I suppose."

“You know how he is about the Superman,” Adrian reminded her, “and I don’t think he’s half as indestructible as your husband.”

"Superman is a clean-cut goody two-shoes, I think it's his moral infallibility that Luthor hates at least as much as the rest," said Teja dismissively. "Loki didn't love that about him either, come to think of it."

“Really? He always brings him up to me as though he’s revealing an ace up his sleeve. I don’t think my dear friend Superman-”

Teja laughed suddenly and sincerely. "He just wants you to think he actually has friends."

“Hasn’t he? He’s certainly... gregarious,” Adrian said cautiously.

"He's friends with the Catwoman, anyway. I gather he and Fandral are friends, in between the... rest of it."

Adrian shut his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose.
“The Catwoman,” he said. “You know what? Forget I asked.”
When he opened them again, he pressed the elevator call button and looked at Teja again with a weary smile.
“Well, once more unto the breach, I suppose,” he said, sounding profoundly tired again in that customary come-and-go way of his. “I have a public to meet, and you two have one to avoid.”

She tapped her cheek suggestively.

Adrian laughed and obliged her with a kiss.
“Tease.”

“That’s better.”
He kissed her chastely at first, then deepened it- not quite enough to change the mood, but enough to indicate more than a passing goodbye.

"Imagine if this whole.... dynamic between us got out," she murmured against his lips. In truth, it would be a PR nightmare and probably ruin her own reputation, but it was sort of fun to think about.
