Great. SHIELD finally found 'em. It took them long enough, considering they've been hiding out here for over two weeks. Right about now Tony was beginning to question what the people on Tony Tracking duty were up to. It can't be much, considering Tony hid Loki in his house.
"Alright, JARVIS," Tony half-shouted, jogging down to his lab. "Pull up security footage. Keyword: Loki." He punched in the three digit code to the lab and threw the door open, running to his desk. Immediately files upon files were shown, the most recent one being Loki reading on his bed. He supposed that was the live feed.
Tony flipped through them, pausing when he saw one of Loki leaning out of the balcony in his room. Right, the plot of this chapter isn't Tony adoring over Loki (or is it?). Tony shakes his head and swipes all of the clips into the 'trash can', deleting them. The moment he trashed the last one he took off to the stairs, rushing to Loki's guest room to alert him of the utterly fantastic news. You can't make text sound sarcastic but just so you know that last sentence was salty as hell.
Right as Tony steps onto the second set of stairs, the doorbell rings. Damnit, so close. But it was wiser to go ahead and answer the door rather than tell Loki. Tony just had to go on the hope that Loki would heat the commotion from his room and get the hell out of here.
There was another loud rapping on the door, this time followed by shouts to open up immediately, blah blah blah, the usual stuff. Tony turns around and makes his way to go door, taking a deep breath before throwing it open and being (mentally, not physically,) attacked by a SHIELD investigator with a (SWAT? FBI?) team.
The man showed Tony his badge, "I'm Agent Harrison, please step aside. SHIELD needs to investigate your house." 'Harrison' said, taking off his sunglasses to reveal dull grey eyes. Tony had a feeling that Harrison wasn't quite there, you know?
"Alright, just don't- Oh, okay." Tony practically yelled, desperate to get the signal across to Loki. The investigators shoved past Tony and started investigating, as an investigator does. One of the team members looked behind his TV, nearly knocking it off of the wall. "Hey-Hands off." Tony shouted, rushing over and stabilizing the television.
Just as Tony had dreaded, maybe half of the team took to the stairs, rushing up to the second floor. Tony followed their tracks, hoping upon hope that Loki had gotten out of here by now. They'd both be arrested, if not worse. Two members broke off into Tony's room, whereas the three remaining, (two team members and Harrison himself), entered the guest bedroom. Loki's bedroom.
The four pushed into Loki's bedroom to find absolutely nothing but a bed, desk, and bookshelf. No alien Gods, no leather outfits, just a clean room. It could have passed as a hotel room. With some more searching, Harrison spoke something into his mic that Tony didn't hear, then stalked out of the room.
Effing yes! Loki had heard him. They had discussed this before, if Loki ever had to leave. The Asgardian never went anywhere without a few simple devises of Tony's making. The NAG, a spear that used nanotechnology, and a minuscule devise that when activated, could undo any form of handcuffs. Now all Tony could do is wait for the signal from the NAG, then come and pick Loki up from whatever location he was at.
Piece of cake, right?
Wrong.
A/N-don't get mad at me-i know how freakishly short this chapter is. I'm working on the climax, and more Tony/Loki interactions. And also, lemme check how many reads I have. fuccing 300? yall are amazing.
