Chapter 7

Tony watched as Loki slipped off to sleep. Their fingers were locked together and Loki didn't realize his grip on his hand was chucking Tony's hand. Tony sat there and watched him sleep. To Tony, Loki looked so peaceful while slept. Tony almost forgot that he was the man that had threw him out of the window…almost.

Tony shifted his position in the chair and settled down. His fingers still locked in Loki's. His hand felt right in Loki's. Was it wrong to like the feel of Loki's hand? Well, he was the insane god that tried to take over the planet. He had caused so much damage to New York, but Tony felt that this hand holding thing felt just right.

Loki shifted a little in the bed. A slight frown appeared on his face. He looked like he was having a nightmare. Tony stroked Loki's check with the hand that was locked in his. Loki shook his head and rolled over to face Tony. Tony looked at Loki face. He looked upset, hurt. Loki pulled his eyebrows into a deeper frown.

'No…I... I won't beg...' Loki mumbled in his sleep. Seconds later Loki flinched and followed by a small whimper.

'Ok...please, I'm sorry…please….no…...stop,' Loki mumbled shaking his head again. Tony had never seen Loki beg, he would have never thought that Loki would end up begging. Tony could see the hurt on his face, he had to do something.

'Hey Loki….sshhh it's fine,' Tony whispered stroking Loki's hair. Loki shook his head again. He was having a nightmare.

'Stop….please,' Loki mumbled into the pillow. Tony leaned forward and stroked Loki check.

'Hey Loki...ssshhh... it's ok Loki,' Tony said. Loki mumbled something but Tony couldn't hear him because Loki was so quite. Loki pushed his check into Tony's hand subconsciously. Tony smiled at him. Loki shifted in the bed.

'It's ok Loki...your safe,' Tony told him. Tony had dealt with nightmares before, mostly his. Tony stared at him as Loki slowly slipped out of the nightmare and back into normal sleep. Loki was gripping Tony's hand tighter. Tony stared at their locked hands. A slight curled appeared in the corner of his lips.

Tony shifted his position in the chair again and put his feet up on Loki's bed. He closed his eyes and decided he would try and get some sleep before tomorrow. He would have to tell the Avengers. He would have to tell them that the guy who was torturing Loki was someone very dangerous. That this guy was coming and was going to kill all of them. Great. Fricking great, you help a god out and some random evil guy comes to try and kill you, Tony thought. He opened his eyes again and looked at Loki.

He was still asleep. He looked so peaceful. Tony was glad the nightmare he was having was over.

Tony looked out into the streets of New York. Cars drove down the streets. You could see the Empire State building from this room. The Stark Tower was so high up that you could nearly see all of New York. Tony liked the tower but he did miss Malibu. He missed the smell of the ocean when you woke up. He missed the sand on his feet when he use the go on walks with Pepper on the beach. He missed his old bed and his work shop. He even missed Jarvis. He knew Jarvis was hear, but it felt better talking to J when he was in Malibu, Tony didn't know why, it just did.

He did love his tower though. It had his name on, come on seriously, why wouldn't you love a tower with his name on. He loved the tower, even though he had to remake it after the attack on New York last year. His name had been ripped off it and there was only an A on it. Clint had said that they should call it the Avenger tower one time when they were on a mission. Let's just say that Clint got a blast in the butt from Tony and his butt was sore for three weeks. Tony grinned at the memory, he chuckled a little too.

He shifted his position again in the chair. He looked over to Loki again. He smiled as Loki gripped onto his hand tighter again. Tony closed his eyes. He really should try to get to sleep even though he wasn't tired.
