Author's Note: So chapter 2 (or technically 1) is here. Hope you enjoy this. Sorry if it seems really short.
"Hey. How do you feel?" Tony asked. He had attempted a scan of Loki's body to see what was wrong. After that, he gave Loki a serum that Tony himself used to purge any toxins from his body caused by the arc reactor. Of course he had to give the god a much higher dosage, and the stuff was really expensive even to him, but hey. What the heck. Loki seemed to get better, coughing up black goo every so often.
Loki glared at him. "Right. Stupid question. Hey come on man. Why are you so angry? I molested two guards because of you. For you. Cut me some slack." he said. "You know you're looking more and more like a crackhead smurf everyday. Good for you!" the inventor said enthusiastically, lightly punching Loki in the shoulder. He jerked back, as the contact seared his skin. "Shit." he hissed, studying the dark blue skin on his knuckles. e flexed his hand a bit, trying to work some feeling back in.
"You are not supposed to touch me." Loki said, smirking. "So you smile because I am in pain. Thank you so much for caring Loki. Thank you." he said.
"Your welcome." the god replied dreamily. Tony sighed, shaking his head. Then, Loki sat up, blinking. "Tony, I think someone is coming." he said. "Crap!" he said, gathering his things. He looked for a place to hide, but the room was completely bare of acceptable hiding spots. He looked at the bed. He figured it was large enough for him to fit under. He dove under the bed just as whoever was coming came into the room.
"Loki? I did not expect you to be awake. How are you?" Odin asked, seeing his adopted son was awake. "I am...better than before. The healers have done wonders for my body." he said. Odin studied him. "Yes, they certainly have." he said suspiciously. "I do not understand how they cured you so quickly, since they did not know what was wrong in the first place." he continued. "Are you disappointed that I will not die after all? Father?" he spat. Odin stare at Loki for a moment.
"Loki, I have loved you ever since the day I found you inside that temple. You have always been my son in my heart." the Allfather said.
"Before or after you tried to use me as a pawn to create an alliance with the Jotuns?" he asked. Odin shook his head. "It was not like that Loki-" Odin began. "Oh? It wasn't? Then what was it Allfather? Perhaps you wanted to keep me as a relic because of my differences to my kind. No other Jotun can use magic. Was that it? A creƤture neither Jotun nor Asir?" Loki shouted. He was breathing heavily now, feeling the tightness in his chest.
This wasn't good. He gasped as his lungs tried to suck in air, but it wasn't going fast enough. He slowed his breathing, forcing himself to calm down. "Loki?" Odin asked. Loki laid back against the pillows. "I am fine. You need not worry." he said. Odin nodded. "You still have not told me why you came. You rarely did before, and when you did it was only to interrogate me about Thanos and the Other." he said.
"I just wanted to warn you Loki. Just because you are my son, does not mean I will allow you to escape justice. You played a part in that battle on Midgard. You led the army. And now, I must pass judgement. The people of Asgard demand it of me. And I cannot deny them what is right." he said, leaving the room.
Under the bed, Tony heard every word. Not that he had been eavesdropping or anything. He'd just been hiding. But from the sound of Odin's tone he figured that if Loki was going to be put on trial Asgardian style, he wasn't going to get a slap on the wrist. Nothing even close to it.
Tony climbed out from under the bed. "You ok?" he asked. Loki looked over at him and smiled. "Never better." the god said. Tony nodded, not wanting to push. "Ok. I uh...good night I guess." he said, heading- sneaking- back to his room.
