He doubts she'd be a real threat on purpose, though.

He honestly thinks there is nothing to gain from his association with Gene.
Still, he finds that he likes the snappy back and forth between them and the not-dangerous level of antagonism they have going on. He's also getting kind of territorial about it. They have a thing and he likes the thing. You could see it briefly in the thread with Iron Bianca where Loki just spontaneously went off and escalated the situation (profanity, not-so-obliquely threatening Iron Man's friends even when Bianca was right there to witness it) to redirect things away from Gene.
So tl;dr, he's kinda like a cat that's staked out a certain person in the household as theirs whether that person likes cats or not.

Now, there's a few worse things that could happen. For example...
No, actually, right now? This is the start of one of his major worst case scenarios and he hates it. He's not ready. He had plans, and they aren't all in place, and he doesn't know how to actually be the Loki that Thor actually really loves. He's aware abstractly that his brother has strong feelings for him and has shamelessly used that in the past, but Kid Loki was a blessing that one can't scoff at for Thor and everyone knows it.
What's really unfortunate is that in a matter of days, he's already starting to very personally get to see where he could get used to that. Even when Thor aggravates him, he does like a good chunk of how he's being treated. Loki is certain that he'll never get anything like that kind of positive regard, not for himself. It's not like he wants trust, though that could be useful in the right circumstances, because no one should ever trust him. The other parts, though, those are nice. He's kind of writing off the ease of these feelings coming to him as another sign his young role is influencing him very heavily, but it's really not just that.
Even Loki knows it's nice to feel loved, but Kid Loki's words haunt him still. That boy changed, but no one's going to let him change. If he can't keep up the charade, everything is going to collapse. Thor will stop loving him, everything that he's built up in his current circumstances will shatter into tiny pieces, and there are no back up plans that he can carry through with. Most people hate Loki. Loki hates Loki. He did an absolutely unforgivable thing just because he could, one so bad he can't forgive himself for. Even without his guilt, he can't forgive himself.
It's very easy to see where his failure to properly emulate Kid Loki will mean that Thor will absolutely never forgive him. He's not a good person and he never will be, so it's just a matter of time. When he's relearning that maybe he can love, too, it's a bad endgame scenario.
And worst of all, it'll mean he did everything for absolutely nothing.

Anyway, the Archive gives him the heebie jeebies. She's powerful, she works for Bruce, and she lacks a sense of humor. That's three strikes when put all together, and he's wary enough of her that he's going to bother her just to prove he isn't.

Because she's scary. Like legitimately scary, and he can't entirely parse why. Originally, he thought maybe she was some kind of badass, but he's fairly sure now that she's a normal mortal woman from Midgard that just happens to be unusually strong willed.
And she's still scary.
He actually responds really well to strong women. It's hilarious because he used to be this raging misogynistic douchebag and he still has some of that in him, but he's eased out of it some since he's gotten into this child form. And, yeah, admittedly plenty of how he acts with Bianca is just for show. He knows that her positive regard could net him a lot of advantage in certain areas because he's seen how she interacts with the community at large.
But really, she spooks him because she just suddenly (but not blindly) took an interest in him. He's not going too far out of his way to fool her or anything. She's gone to bat for him in situations that benefit her in no way whatsoever. He's not accustomed to people knowing approximately just what he is and actually liking him anyway.
He kinda likes it, and he likes her cooking.

Tony's blithe disregard for social mores and willingness to say fuck the establishment are things that Loki really appreciates, too. He'd like a bit more depth in their interactions, and he'll find a way to make that happen when the right danger presents itself, or if Loki himself can carefully present the right 'danger.' He needs Tony as an ally and he knows it, but there's something more to it than that.
He just has to find the right way to make it stick.

Tony went after him in his first post to try to lay down the law when most everyone else waffled whether or not they recognized him, and he actually appreciates that in a weird way. Like, he was pissed. He was totally pissed, and he dislikes the fact that he can't turn him around to be a useful asset, but there's still a value there that he can recognize.
He does like that he's half-certain he has Tony mostly settling on the understanding that he's a crazy child-god even if he had to get thrown into the ocean to do it, and still they have their arguments and conflict. It's become a type of entertainment to him. Once in a while they careen out of control and other things have to stop them, which is usually indicated by a thing where suddenly Loki's threatening to harm people because he knows it'll get a rise out of the hero. It's practically turned into their safe-word at this point.
Still, somehow he turned into the one man that Loki actually speaks frankly to from time to time. He's actually confessed the bulk of what he wants to Tony, but he just never does it exactly when the man demands it of him. They have a lot in common, and it makes it easier for the two of them to interact on the same level.
(Which that is probably a huge insult, but they do.)
Their current tiff is going to knock that off course for a very short time, mostly because Loki knows how to bounce back from an unexpected loss. This is almost a professional association between the two of them. Their game gives him an outlet he doesn't otherwise have, and he's not going to lose that. He's had his chances to obliterate Tony, and he's not even trying to take them.
Not yet, anyway. If he ever does, well, it's just business.
