"Oh shit." Said Tony as the Avengers followed, asking questions as Bruce, who had calmed down and gotten out of 'Hulk mode', leapt into action, putting an oxygen mask on Loki, hooking him up to heart monitor machines, then using a defibrillator. Somehow, after the fifth time, the heart monitor beeped, meaning his heart was beating, though it was a bit fast. Bruce started putting iv's in as to try and give Loki nutrients, as he was way to thin, Tony could count his ribs.

After Loki had come back from death, Steve and Clint dragged Tony into another room while Natasha followed, as Bruce and Thor stayed with Loki.

Clint pinned Tony against the wall by his throat, as Tony got a sense of Déjà vu, as Loki had had him in the same position, but not on the wall, just half an hour earlier.

"What in the hell are you doing Stark? Why do you have him here?" Clint growled, steam practically coming out of his ears, as he was understandably still pissed about being mind controlled by Loki's scepter, and almost killing Natasha.

"You didn't see him when he came here Clint. He looked like he was about to pass out, and his eyes weren't green like Thor told us they should have been. They were the same blue as the Tesseract, so either it was controlling him, or someone else was controlling him." Tony gasped as the pressure on his neck built, and he fought the black coming into his vision. Behind Clint, Natasha was giving Tony a stink eye that would have made him squeak if his voice wasn't cut off. Next to her, Steve was also giving him a bad stink eye, but not nearly as bad as Natasha's.

Clint was about to retort, and his hand was in a fist, as if he was going to follow it with a punch. Natasha looked like she was about to tell Clint to put Tony down, when they all heard a terrifying scream coming from where Loki was.

"Let me go, Loki needs help!" Tony shouted, more black in his vision.

Clint let Tony slide down, and even though he was trying not to pass out, Tony didn't waste any time, and ran into the room, with the other three members of the Team other than him following him. Loki was screaming, thrashing on the bed, as Thor tried to hold him down, while trying not to hurt him. Bruce was rushing around checking the monitors, trying to find the source of the nightmare.

Loki could feel him Thanos. He was searching for him. His pawn. He could hear the voices calling him.

"Loki!"

"Brother"

"Come on buddy, let's see the emeralds." Ah that was most likely Stark.

He had to go back. He couldn't let Thanos win. This was his body, his mind, and he was not going to let it get taken away a second time. He could feel it. Oh the pain.

"You are mine pathetic god." He heard Thanos growl as his shadow loomed over him, starting to try and grab him, as Loki danced away, even though his body was still weak from being reclaimed.

Then another voice nudged his memory.

The green monster.

"Puny god."

What the "Hulk" had called him.

Somehow, the "Hulk" calling him puny, made him want to prove him wrong, even as Thanos tripped him by backhanding his leg.

As he struggled to regain consciousness, he could see a faint smile on "Hulk's" face as it faintly appeared, before a sudden fog quickly rolled in, and engulfed everything.

He awoke to many many worried faces above him, but the hawk man, apparently named Clint, was in the corner. He guessed that even given his history, being controlled had given him a different place in the team's mind. The team aimed many questions at him.

"What happened?"

"Are you alright?"

"What is with the scars on your chest?" the other side of the "Hulk" asked. He had heard his name was Bruce.

The last question alarmed him. How had they known about those?

Loki looked down, and saw that his amour had been replaced with a black shirt that had AC – DC on it, and he could feel the bandages on his chest. They must have found his cracked and broken ribs.

"That was how they broken and controlled him." Said the Man of Iron, named Anthony, but the team called him Tony. This surprised Loki, but the man's eyes were dark and serious, as if he knew how it felt to be broken and tortured.

The surprise must have shown on his face, as Tony was quick to reassure him.

"Don't worry, whatever did that to you won't be able to get you here." Tony said confidently, with a hand on his shoulder.

Loki wanted to laugh. He didn't know Thanos, the titan was extremely powerful, and unstoppable.

How could this mortal think that he could beat him? But a small part of him wanted to believe that perhaps, maybe, he could finally be free from all the pain that Thanos, and his so called family, had caused him.

DKDKDKDKDKDKDK

Thanos was furious.

How had this pathetic god resist him, when he had already broken him? That monster, it had called the god "puny", which somehow gave the worthless thing the strength to slip out of his grasp.

"Don't you worry my little pawn. You will be mine once again, soon enough." He cackled as he looked over Midgard. Watching. Waiting.

After Loki had fallen asleep, Tony had had to answer a call from S.H.I.E.L.D. Eyepatch was not happy. It made for quite an entertaining argument. One that the team had no problem listening to.

"He is a criminal Stark! You need to hand him over to S.H.I.E.L.D." Nick Fury yelled.

"Why, so you can torture him? I have seen the scars; he has had enough! SO NO I AM NOT!" Tony snapped back at the hologram.

"He is the leader of an invasion that destroyed New York…again. He needs to be controlled."

"You need to check your facts Santa." Tony spat "Loki was the one who told me how to shut down the portal. His eyes were blue, not green, like Thor told us his eyes were supposed. You are not going to get him. We will make sure that the person who controlled him won't make him go crazy again, or destroy Earth. You don't have a choice, but you will leave him alone if we make sure that he keeps his mind right?" Tony finished, crossing his arms, and glaring lasers into the hologram. Both of them knew that even if Fury said no, he was not going to let Loki go. He knew that look in Loki's eyes, because he had seen it once in his own eyes; after Afghanistan.

"If your wrong Stark…" Nick said in a tone that had a slight defeated edge to it, but his face looked like it was carved from immortal stone.

Tony turned the call off. "How is Loki J.A.R.V.I.S?" he asked.

"Still asleep sir."

"Any nightmares?"

"No sir. Only one, a quick one. Thor was able to calm him down before I alerted you sir. Now he seems to be resting peacefully." The A.I replied.

Thor looked over at Loki, now asleep after his nightmare. Thor scanned his eyes around the medical wing.

It was mostly white, with many beds, and airtight cleaning stations, after all, not all the enemies the Avengers fought were the prettiest or cleanest.

Loki stirred, and mumbled something that sounded like "Mom I don't want to get up." but stayed asleep.

Thor held back a chuckle at finally seeing Loki even a bit childish, after seeing the hardened demeanor in his eyes for so long. He looked back to his brother again. "I will never let anything happen to you again brother." He whispered. He could faintly her Loki whisper back "Thank you brother."

Clint had gone to the training room after Loki had woken up from his nightmare. He shot several moving targets with ease while letting out his anger, the arrows piercing deeper than normal as he drew the string back farther.

Loki was a monster; how could they take him in? The scars were probably an illusion, and as soon as they let their guard down, he would attack them, and try and destroy the world again. A target dummy lost its head to his arrow, which buried itself into the wall.

"And if they aren't?" a voice asked from behind him.

Clint whirled around to see Natasha standing there. He hadn't even heard her come in.

"He is a monster that mind controlled people, and murdered so many, and we just take him in! How?" He yelled.

"Do you think that he may not be living up to his name?" She asked in a calm voice. Look at his eyes Clint. I don't trust him either, but his eyes don't lie."

"Maybe I won't shoot an arrow through his eye now, but one wrong move, and Tony is going to need a whole lot of bleach." He retorted not taking his eyes off of Natasha as he put an arrow through a moving dummy's eye and heart.

Loki sat up and looked around. This time there was no fog, but his daughter Hel instead. (She looks like the Marvel version)

"Hel? What are you doing here? He asked.

"Father I have come to give you a warning of what is to come" She waved her arm, and Midgard from space appeared but it was burning, and was destroyed. They transported into New York, and the Avengers Tower was torn down to its internal bones, and was only 1/5 of it's original size. Loki could see the dead bodies of thousands of people, and the Avengers, except for Thor, who he could see fighting a great shadow, while being greatly wounded. Loki cried out as Thor was stabbed, and collapsed, then died.

Horrified, Loki tried to keep his voice from breaking completely.

"No, how do I prevent this?! Please Hel."

Hel had a grim expression on her face.

"You must find the traitor father. Be strong." She dissolved. Loki sat up awake, to see Thor next to him.

Thor was worried by the look on Loki's face. "Brother are you alright?" Loki looked at him, and simply said "Call the Avengers."
