Title: The Truth About Heroes
Author: Cheza
Rated: anywhere from Teen to Mature (I don't know how descriptive I'm gonna make the gory stuff until I get there)
Series: Avengers (movie-verse)
Summary: Based on prompt here: norsekink. livejournal 8802. html?thread =18623074&
Loki saves Tony Stark from something (falling building perhaps?) that costs Loki a limb. Tony then builds a robotic limb to replace it. Friendship happens.
Bonus: The amputation is forced on Loki and there is lots of pain and angst.
This first parts in Tony's POV. Enjoy!
Prologue
It has been half a year since Thor dragged his snarky little brother back to earth.
Half a year since Thor had to explain to Fury why a former terrorist was moving about unrestrained while the rest of us had the immense pleasure of watching the man's face turn even darker.
Half a year since Thor begged me to put up with the man who threw me out a window to live in my house, eat my food, and attempt to, what was it Thor called it again? Oh yeah! And I quote, "until he has redeemed himself in the eyes of your people and has aided the Avengers in doing good."
Right. Most of us avoided him like the plague, at least when he wasn't avoiding us first.
During missions we always ordered him back, said we needed him covering an out of the way exit but, really, we just didn't want to deal with him.
He caught on quickly enough, unlike Thor.
He wasn't even particularly upset when we accidentally forgot, and left him there.
And yet… despite all our bull, despite the horse jokes and treating him like utter crap, he was still there for us, for me especially, when we needed him most. And he paid for it. Big time.
Chapter 1 up soon! Review please.
