Also, this a prologue to show how they got into the alternate universe.
Loki grinned sardonically as he walked back and forth in the dingy lit room that could have easily doubled as a basement. "Well well, mighty Avengers" He spat the last word out of as if it physically hurt him.
"You've stopped my ploys time after time, yet you here are stuck in a cage like wild animals. Funny, isn't it? You won your battles, but I win the war" He took a step back and finally took a look at who exactly was in the cage. "It seems I missed two. Fortunately for me, they're hardly any threats. More like the mascots of the team, aren't they?" He did however, get two officers of SHIELD which was nearly as good, if not better. Deputy director, and an extremely high ranking agent. He'd like to see SHIELD run smoothly without Maria Hill and Phil Coulson.
Tony, ever the dramatic diva had to take the opportunity to make a joke of things, despite the long, haggard look on his face. He looked weary and troubled, a far cry from his usual look. "Are we going to be released anytime soon because I have a four o'clock meeting that I can't miss"
Coulson hardly held his groan in. These were the Avengers? The team that everyone put their faith in? Of course he knew what he had been getting into when he agreed to work with the Avengers Initiate, was eager even, but really. Stark annoyed the best of people and Coulson was a long shot from being anywhere close to okay with Stark's constant quips.
The Hulk took a large step forward, their best bet to get out of there was using brute strength to break the bars.
"Uh, uh" Loki clicked his tongue and wagged his finger as if reprimanding a pet. "I really wouldn't do that if I were you" Thor not satisfied with that answer, stepped forward as well and readied his hammer for attack but before the hammer hit the side of the cage, he was blasted back.
"Everyone finished?" He paused dramatically, searching each of their faces for a hint of rebellion, or a sign that they were going to strike again. "Now where was I? Oh yes, you mighty Avengers are like wild animals. Now the question is what should I do with you?" Loki stopped his pacing only long enough to send Thor a patronizing grin. It was almost endearing, how gleeful Loki looked.
"Brother, stop this madness" Thor cried out, trying to reason with him. Though Loki was not his real brother, they were raised together and had spent all of their lives believing them to be related. Thor had seen Loki's good side and that, perhaps, was one of the many reasons Loki tried so hard to prove to Thor that he wasn't the good guy- not anymore. Not after he was pushed to do the things he had because of their father.
Steve, Tony, Hill, and Coulson stood side by side, for once not bickering. If one bothered to pay attention, they could see their lips murmuring. No doubt, they were all discussing a plan of escape. Considering that they couldn't even get close to the side of the cage, their best option was to wait for Clint and Natasha to come and release them.
All eyes snapped up towards Loki as they heard a triumphant cry. There was a gleam in his eye and it was probably the most worrisome thing in the room. "I suppose if I can't beat you I'll just send you somewhere where you won't get in my way"
With that said, Loki placed his staff on the bars of the cage and a bright light filled the room, blinding the prisoners and each person in the cage felt a drowsiness they quickly succumbed to.
A/N: We'll see the group in a band next chapter but they won't remember anything about being superheroes. Also look forward to a possible groupie Loki.
