[You can blame his driver and his in-home boxing ring for his right hook, Loki.
But at the end of it, as Loki jerks back a little but doesn't do anything else, doesn't strike back or lash out with words, start in on some stupid spell, Tony's left... kind of unsatisfied, actually.
Unsatisfied and in pain, because no matter who you were, if you weren't backed by radiation or super soldier genes, a punch hurt both parties involved. So, shaking out his hand, rubbing over the knuckles as soon as Loki drops back and stares he's taking a step back as well, and then another.
He's not an idiot. He's not stupid enough to think himself a full threat without his suit, and he's also not stupid enough to drop his guard despite the lack of retaliation.]
So what's the gain for you, huh? Avengers not working together anymore? Because if you hadn't noticed, we're kind of sucking on the unified front of things even without your help.
action!
