An hour had passed when Tony left the living room, leaving Steve and Thor behind. He was still fuming about Loki's situation when he felt his phone buzz in the pocket of his jeans.

He quickly answered it without looking at the caller ID. "Hello?"

"Tony? You sound angry? Did something happened at the tower I should know about?"

"Yes, something did happen. But, it's about Loki. Thor came in a while ago and told me he was kidnapped in Asgard. Heimdall didn't see anyone enter his room".

Silence could be heard on the other line. "Pepper? Are you there?

"Yes, Tony, I'm here. Did I hear you right?"

"Yes, Pepper, you heard right. Thor isn't a liar and wouldn't lie about things, especially when it comes to Loki."

"Maybe he is just pulling everyone's leg. I believe it is another one of his tricks. You all know how he is".

"We all know how Loki is, but this isn't a prank. Heimdall can see everything, and not seeing who got Loki while he was sleeping is completely wrong".

"Where is Thor, by the way?"

"In Asgard. He had to go back and continue with the search party they have over there".

"What about the other Avengers? Do they know about Loki?"

Tony completely forgot about the rest of his teammates. He was told by JARVIS that they arrived at the tower a while ago.

"No, they don't Pepper. I was both shocked and angry that passing the news flew right over my head. I'll have everyone else notified. Unless Steve beat me to it".

After Tony hung up the call, he had JARVIS call everyone for an emergency meeting. He left the room he was in and ran to the meeting room that was located upstairs. On the way up, he quickly messaged Fury about the meeting and requested his presence to be there too.

"Sir, everyone is arriving at the conference room. I already notified that you're on your way".

"Thank you JARVIS."

Upon reaching his destined floor, he speed-walked to the proper room down the large hall. He saw that everyone was there, already seated. He was surprised that T'Challa, Doctor Strange, and Starlord were there too. He wasn't expecting them to be there

"What brings you three here?" Tony asks.

"We were visiting Steve, that is why," Stephen replies. He was kind of telling a lie, he came to see both Natasha and Steve. But he didn't say anything about the Black Widow to avoid further questions from Tony. He knew he likes to gossip.

Tony then saw an empty seat at the end of the large, wooden table and sat down. He cleared his throat before speaking.

"We have an emergency. Loki has been kidnapped in Asgard," Tony said briefly.

"WHAT?" Clint screamed out, getting out of his seat. He didn't believe his ears.

"You heard right, Clint. Thor came in a while ago to drop the news to both Steve and me, to say the least, I got really angry, and I am still mad about it".

Stephen looked at Tony in disbelief. "So, Loki isn't just pulling one of his tricks?"

"No. If he was, then Heimdall would've seen it. In this case, he didn't," Tony answered him.

"So, I think that somebody had magic that would prevent Heimdall from seeing anything, thus causing Loki to be kidnapped without raising suspicions from external sources," Bruce voiced his opinion.

"It can be possible. Although I assume the magic had to be strong enough to do such a thing," Tony answered. He was beyond worried for Loki.


Loki was staring at the blank, concrete wall before him. Both of his hands were tied behind him with a metal, anti-magic chains. And they started to hurt quite a bit.

Just as he was about to get up from his place in the corner, a male came in barging in through the door and silently stood before Loki.

"Can I help you?" Loki asks. His eyes were fixated on the floor, afraid to make eye contact with the being before him.

"Get up and follow me," the male's thick voice boomed throughout the room, causing Loki to flinch a little, not expecting such a voice coming his way.

Quickly, Loki gets up and starts following when he notices that there are other beings outside the room, causing Loki to feel a little insecure.

Silently, he follows the tall male, now called Lax, to a much larger room that is covered from top to bottom with mirrors.

"What is this place?" Loki quietly asks, but unfortunately for him, Lax hears him.

"This is the mirror room, Loki. This is where you going to spending the majority of your time in."

"Excuse me?"

"You heard me. I don't repeat myself twice."

"But, why? What do I do here?"

"You will soon learn why. And someday, you will thank me for it."

"I don't think so. I am sure you will torture me for your entertainment".

"I won't. But I will completely change you. And you won't even going to recognize yourself after I am done with you".
