I'm too tired to proofread, so sorry if there's a lot of mistakes. Enjoy.
Loki paced his cell, clenching and unclenching his fists. What's the worst they could do? They were supposedly heroes, they wouldn't hurt him too bad, would they?

Steve glanced up to meet Thor's gaze, regretting doing so when he saw the look on the bigger man's face. "Thor, I don't like it either. I'm sorry, but he's too unreasonable. This is the only way we can see to possibly make him understand the severity of what he's done."
All the hopefulness in Thor's expression faded, he looked totally defeated as he gave a small nod. "Alright." He dropped his gaze to the floor. "If this is the only way you all see."
Fury nodded at Thor's consent, turning his attention to Clint and Natasha. "You two will go in first."

Loki's head shot up when he heard footsteps, and he was instantly curious as he watched Clint and Natasha enter the room. He rose to his feet, allowing an easy smirk to cross his features as the cell door closed behind them. "What have you come to do? Have you been sent to tame the beast? To torture me into submission?"
Natasha's expression never wavered as she walked to stand in front of him. "I'm not sure if you're understanding exactly what you've done. Do you know how many lives you've taken? How much property you've destroyed?"
Loki looked her directly in the eyes, a humored expression on his face. "Do you understand exactly how much that I don't care, darling?" he had less than a second to comprehend what was happening before he felt a sharp sting spread across the left side of his face. It took him a moment to realize that the petite redhead had slapped him. He let out a delayed growl and went for her, but his arms were caught before he managed to get to her. He wasn't sure exactly when Clint had come up behind him, but suddenly he felt his knees buckling beneath him. Clint had just forced him down to his knees.
Loki immediately attempted to pull his arms free, realizing what a bad position he was in. He tried to turn to face Clint, intending to spit at him, but was unable to turn his head far enough to do so. He heard the girl coming up in front of him and snapped his head back to face her, giving her the most hateful glare he could manage. She seemed unfazed as she put her hand in his hair, gripping it tightly. She pulled his hair back so that he was forced to look at her.
Loki's façade fell a little as he clenched his jaw, swallowing back the sudden fear that was overtaking him. He hated the fact that Natasha seemed to notice, and he hated the fact that a slight grin crossed her features whenever she did. He closed his eyes tightly as she lifted her hand again, waiting for the blow.
Natasha brought her hand down much harder this time, and Loki's face snapped to the side as her hand made contact with his cheek. She grabbed his chin, forcing his head up. "Look at me. You are going to look at me while you take this punishment. If you're man enough to kill all of those people, then you're man enough to take this punishment. Do you understand me?"
Loki nodded his head slightly, which seemed to satisfy Natasha because she let go of his chin and clenched her fist, raising her hand again.

Thor turned his face away from the camera feed at this point, unable to watch further. He stood up silently and walked into the other room, leaning his forehead against a wall and closing his eyes. "I'm sorry brother." He mumbled quietly, willing the tears in his eyes to disappear .

Loki allowed a quiet whimper to escape his lips as Clint's boot made contact with his shoulder blade. He attempted to sit up from his position on the floor but was knocked back down when his arm was kicked out from under him by Natasha. He closed his eyes at that point, pulling his arms around his torso, waiting for it to be over. He almost surprised himself at the yelp that escaped his lips when he felt Natasha grab his hair again, pulling him from his position on the floor. He closed his eyes at the pain, following her hand as best he could to ease it. When he opened his eyes again he found himself back on his knees, Natasha kneeling to be eye level with him. "Loki, listen. I'm sorry it had to be this way. None of us could see any other way to get through to you. This has to stop though. You can't kill people because you feel like it. Do you understand me?"
Loki nodded quickly, unwilling to take another blow. His eyes were wide as he watched her, watching for any sign of her intention to hurt him again.
Natasha let out another sigh, standing up and glancing at Clint, nodding towards the door.
Loki allowed himself to relax when they were gone, leaning his head back against the wall. No sooner had he closed his eyes that he heard more footsteps. His eyes shot open just as Bruce and Steve walked into the cell.
