So here's my first intended multi-chaptered fic. 'Another!' doesn't count, because they're all one shots and stuffs. I quite like it. Thanks to P.B for the prompt, as always. So here's the prologue. It's eventual FrostIron, Toki, Lark, whatever you want to call it. It'll get there.
Hope you like~
I don't own anything.
Tony Stark approached him with something metal in his hand. A muzzle, Loki noticed with a distant curiosity. Nothing really seemed to matter much any more. Not after the Chitauri. Not after…
"Why so worried, Loki? It's just a muzzle." The words were taunting, sharp-edged, violent.
The despondent figure glanced up briefly, and the gaze that met the billionaire's was lonely, sad and tinged with madness and fear. The grin that he was given was razor sharp and what Tony would have defined as clinically insane.
"I'm not worried, Stark." Tony almost had to lean closer to hear the words. He was playing with fire, he knew. The god was violent and unstable, even with his magic bound, trapped in Banner's giant hamster wheel.
"Scared, then?" Tony walked closer to the cage, sliding through the door without leaving room for Loki to escape.
"Afraid? Of you?" Loki laughed, a short, mad, bitter laugh. "No."
The genius walked behind the god, tense and alert, wary of the fact that the defeated figure was not moving.
"Oh? Then what are you afraid of?" He leant close to the Trickster's ear, whispering the words as he brought the muzzle close to his mouth, allowing him to answer.
Loki turned his head to meet Tony's eyes, his own laced with madness, his voice full of fear.
"Thanos is coming for me. I failed him. He will not let me go." The words were rushed, breathless, almost unwilling.
Tony smirked as he put Loki's muzzle on.
"Nice try, Loki. But your ploys won't work on me."
He ignored the fear-filled eyes that followed him out, not noticing the way his prisoner's eyes widened, the way his eyes slipped shut, the way the figure slumped in defeat and hopelessness. Not noticing the tense muscles, and not noticing the single tear that was hurriedly wiped away.
So there you have the prologue. I hope you liked it, please let me know what you think.
Chapter one should be coming along soon, so until then~
