Loki struggled to remove the ring of metal around his neck, hissing every time it flared at his touch. He looked up at the Other, who was watching him closely, amused. Thanos stood beside him, whispering in his ear.
"I want to play with him." Loki made out from the motion of his lips. The Other hissed. "He is to be broken. Not played with like some toy." he growled. Thanos smiled. "i assure you, he will not like the games I have in mind." he said. The Other sighed. "Very well then. If it will strengthen our control over him, then do it." Thanos nodded, walking away.
Loki stared at Thanos as he entered the room, a smile on his face. "Hello Trickster. Would you like to play a game?" he asked. "I do not want to play anything with you. I only wish to fulfil my part of or bargain. But I have a feeling that in my haste, I did not realize that you had no intention of complying." Loki snarled. Thanos smiled. "Very good." he said, stroking Loki's cheek. The god jerked away. "I do not wish for you to touch me." he said. Thanos continued to smile. "I did not ask for what you wished." he said, moving closer.
And then Loki's eyes widened as he saw what was in Thanos' hand. "Oh? You see it now don't you? Yes well I thought this would be perfect for what I had in mind. You remember it don't you?" he said, holding up the stick of metal. It began to glow red, then white when he tapped it. "You remember this do you not?" he asked, holding it closer to the god. Loki leaned away from it, feeling the heat and remembering the pain it had caused when it had touched his skin. Of course, it had been the Other who had tortured him first, but the weapon was still the same.
"I want you to scream for me now. Will you do that? I would be so pleased if you did." he said, thrusting the weapon against Loki's skin. The god jerked away, forcing himself not to make a sound. That's just what Thanos would want.
As the tool dug into his skin, he gasped as he felt shocks of pain rush through him. "Ah yes. There have been some modifications to it. Much more effective." he said. Loki slumped forward, exhausted as Thanos pulled away. "You may be wondering why I am doing this. Yes it is partly because or your disobedience. But I need you compliant with everything. Which apparently didn't work last time since you betrayed us." he said.
"Stop talking to him Thanos. I need results fast." The Other's said in the air. Thanos rolled his eyes. "Oh well. I guess I will not be having as much fun as I thought I was. But you certainly won't be having fun at all now will you?" he said mockingly.
"Thor, where have you been?" Odin demanded as his son walked into the throne room. "I have been preparing for what is coming." he said. Odin shook his head. "Thor, nothing is going to happen. We have no threats at the moment." he said. Thor stepped forward, kneeling down in front of his father. "Loki would not have left as he did if it was not for a good reason. I believe that he returned to those who were his allies because he was promised something. Or maybe he has..." he looked over at Frigga, seeing her tense. She knew what he was going to say and it hurt him to say it in her presence.
"Or maybe he has not severed his ties with his allies and gone back to them. He may even be planning an attack as we speak." the God of Thunder said slowly. Odin stood.
"Why do you think this? Why would you think this Thor?" he asked. Thor looked up at him. "I am only listing all of the possibilities, Allfather." he said. Odin nodded. "Let us pray that it is not the latter my son. I wish for Loki to become part of our family once more and remain as part of it." he said. Thor nodded, rising.
"Tell me of your plan." Odin said, walking with him. "I have enlisted the aid of Jane Foster and her friend Darcy Lewis. They are considering recruiting Dr. Selvig also." he said. "Why would you want the aid of Midgardians? What can they do?" his father asked. Thor smiled internally. For once in his long-lived, immortal life, his father was asking him what was happening instead of making all the decisions.
"They are said to be brilliant in their work. And they are the only mortals I trust with this. We cannot handle everything ourselves Father. And I have a feeling that this shall affect their world also, and we must not keep it from them." Odin nodded. "Alright. I trust you Thor. I shall have Heimdal keep a closer watch." he said. Thor smiled. "Thank you father. I will not disappoint you."
Jane studied the readings she was getting from the energy Thor had brought her. It was giving off sparks tat were much more powerful than any weapon she knew about on Earth. 'Or Midgard as Thor calls it.' she thought with a smile. Darcy looked over at her. "Havin' freaky, dirty thoughts are you?" she said. "No I am not for your information." she said, turning back to the computer. Darcy grinned.
"Ok. If you say so. Just give me details later ok?" she said. Jane just glared at her. "Whatever Darcy." she muttered.
Steve sighed happily as Bruce stroked his thigh. They were still in Asgard, so they were holding off on the actual sex for the moment. For now, they were satisfied with just touching each other.
"Steve..." Bruce said with a slight warning tone. The soldier's fingers were playing with the waistband of his underwear, slowly going lower. "If you're going to tease, then you have to be able to be teased also." he said. Bruce grinned. "Oh, ok. So that's how you wanna play, huh?" he said, rising to his knees. He knelt over Steve, who was smiling. "I thought we were going to wait until we got back to Mid- uh Earth I mean." he corrected. The Asgardians way of speech was starting to rub off on him.
"No. I said I wanted to wait 'till we got back to make love to you. I think a bit more touching won't hurt." he said, kissing the other man's lips. Steve kissed back, surprising the scientist with his hunger and eagerness. "Whoa. Slow down." he said. Steve laid back rolling his eyes.
"We're in a private room Bruce. No one's gonna-" he broke off as a slight movement caught his eye. His eyes widened when he saw the servant standing in the corner of the room.
"Who are you?" the soldier demanded. The man looked at them and bowed his head. "I am but a slave. Here to fulfil your wishes." he said. Bruce stood. "Why are you here exactly?" he asked. "The Alfather's orders are for slaves to fulfil every wish of the masters of the room." he said, stoic. Bruce and Steve looked at each other. "Uh, well we didn't know you were here. We kinda wanted...privacy." he said. The man nodded.
"I am instructed to serve you in any way you wish." he said. "Yes well we were kinda hoping to be alone." Bruce said. "I am ordered to stay here to fulfil your commands." he repeated. "So you're not going to leave?" Steve asked. "I cannot leave." he said. Bruce flopped back onto the bed, frustrated. "Good night Steve." he said. Goo night." the soldier replied.
They both settled into comfortable positions, staring into the darknes. Neither went to sleep.
Author's Note: So the Chronicles of the Sexual Frustration of Bruce and Steve continues. Creepy dude watching you in he dark. I'd rather it be Marilyn Manson or Patrik from BatAAr. Of course MM would be creepier, but still. At least he could sing to me and Patrik could play the guitar. Lol. R&R plz. Your reviews inspire me. REQUESTS WELCOME.
