( he hasn't decided how he feels about getting this from loki of all people. but billy goes slack when he feels the weight of someone else tugging him up, he's been manhandled enough to know it's better to just go along with it than fight it. he's a little scratched up from the slide across the floor, but it's. nothing terrible. nothing billy isn't well-used to from years of flying around and falling and all that fun stuff. )

I seriously don't need the you're an Avenger speech right now. ( arm over loki's shoulder, because he's definitely not letting loki drop him now. ) My whole team is gone except for Tommy who's from another side of the multiverse where we're royalty. And you! Who keeps showing up at odd times to do the whole you're an Avenger, Mister Kaplan! thing and I'm magic-less, you're magic-less, and Tommy keeps making sparks everywhere and making zombies fall through the floor is only going to work for so long!
