A/N:

The Avengers, Loki, Iron Man, or anything of the like. Just the thoughts inside my head. And taking some personal freedoms with mythology and lore.

Thor and Balder stood by the door, waiting. The charm was still intact and glowing on the door an hour later. When they heard the first shouts of pain the sent the guards away, they figured Loki wouldn't want a crowd gathered. But the room had been silent for a while and they wondered if things were going according to Loki's plan.

There were two pounds on the door from the inside and the two brothers glanced at each other. "Did he say when to let him out?" Balder asked. Thor just shook his head. Balder walked over slowly and reached up to open the slider to see into the room. He jumped back when Loki's green eyes were waiting for him. "By the Norns! You scared the shit out of me!"

"Good, now let us out." Thor unlocked the door and pulled it open. Tony was leaning against Loki's back, both men looking tired. Loki had a hand on Tony's back, making sure the man followed him. "We don't have much time to leave."

"We?" Thor asked as he and Balder followed them down the hall, leaving the dungeons.

"You think I'm going to let him get his revenge alone?" Tony looked over at the two older brothers and smiled. "He tried to change me, and tried to use me to assassinate you, and kept calling me his Pet. I am no one pet, thank you very much." Loki snorted and Tony pushed on his back.

"We're going to find the Fae, and you two and our parents should return to Asgard." Loki suggested as they headed up the stairs, and towards the exit of the palace. "Asgard has been without a ruler for too long."

"We'll just go back there when we're all done anyway," Tony added. Loki pulled out the wooden box as they stepped outside. "Have fun boys, we'll see you later." Tony wrapped an arm around Loki's waist as he opened the box and they disappeared in a trail of magenta magic.

The two appeared in a wooded area, but stayed quiet. They were close, they could hear voices and movement not too far away. Loki spelled their steps to stay quiet as they moved closer.

"Where is he!" Tony's hand tensed a little when he heard Lenhr shout. They heard the growling of wolves and pushed themselves against some trees, glancing over into a clearing. There was a heavy thud and the whimper of a wolf. "Tell me Now!" Tony's squeezed his hands into fists when he saw Lenhr standing in front of Gabby. He almost growled when they saw that her clothes were bloody and saw wounds on her arms. Bitten by wolves.

"Somewhere you can't get him," she spit in his face and he slapped her hard, her head snapping to the side.

"I was going to let him live if you told me." Tony caught Loki's eyes and looked to the side. The whimper they heard before was Steve trying to hold his own against a pack of rather large wolves. He was holding on to a large serving platter he had taken from Asgard. Steve and his shields, there was nothing that could stop him.

"I'm not worried about him, I'd be worried about your animals." Gabby responded, slowing turning his head back, rolling her neck a little.

Loki held up his hand, his fingers counting down, and Tony nodded, ready. On one Loki disappeared and Tony walked out into the clearing. "Didn't anyone teach you how to treat a lady, Lenhr?" Gabby looked over but Lenhr just smirked. "I can give you a few pointers if you'd like, I had some practice many years ago."

"I hope you don't think that you and your sorcerer can actually get one over on me," Lenhr turned to Tony and started walking over to him. "Did you think that you could actually get rid of my magic inside of you? Whatever you think you did, you'll never be free." He held his hand up, power dancing in his palm. "I was inside of you, in your mind, I saw your core." He pulled his hand towards him then frowned when Tony didn't move. Tony had a sense of deja vu with a certain scepter.

"How badly do you underestimate Loki? I'm just curious, because he'll kill you regardless." Tony shrugged a little. "I mean, he cleared out an entire Jotun prison without moving too far from his cell. Does that really sound like someone you want to be messing with? Although I've been wrong before, and when I messed with him, well I share a bed with him now. But I'm fairly certain you won't get the same reaction."

"There's only one way to get rid of my influence," Lenhr growled, moving closer to Tony.

"You know, he told me that," Tony nodded, rubbing the back of his head. "It's the soul sharing thing right? Yeah, we did that, without hesitation. I did give up my mortality for him, so this seemed like-" Tony gasped when he was thrown back into a tree. "Yeah, I still don't know how to keep my mouth shut.

Lenhr turned when he heard a chorus of whimpers and saw his wolves on the ground, Loki standing in front of Steve. The Fae growled then turned taking large strides to grab Gabby. Steve threw the platter and it ricocheted off of a rock and hit his arm, cutting the fae deeply. Loki was suddenly in front of him and grabbed his neck, lifting him up.

"You can't kill me with your powers alone," Lenhr growled out at Loki.

"Yes, I'm aware," Loki replied drolly. "You're magic is tainted, dirty." He smirked at the scowl on Lenhr's face. "I am a very knowledgeably man, learning is kind of a hobby for me. I know about the Fae, I know about the elves, I know a lot. I also know that you won't be able to fight against your own magic." Loki took the box out of his pocket and threw it into a fire that had started a few feet away.

The fire shot up, burning magenta and Lenhr's eyes widened. "That's the magic you put inside of my partner. That's the magic that's going to rip you to shreds when I throw you into it."

"Answer me something first, Frost Giant," Lenhr's hissed out and Loki tightened his hand around his throat. "How did it feel when they took your son from you? Like you were taken when you were just a babe?" Loki's glared and threw him into the fire without a second thought.

Tony waked over and took his hand, rubbing it a little. Loki looked at him and smiled gently. They turned and saw that Steve was kneeling in front of Gabby, both looking like they'd taken four rounds with the wolves.

"Are you two okay? Well, relatively okay?" Tony was the first to ask as they walked over.

"We should be asking you that," Steve looked at him and helped Gabby stand.

"Hey, my head was just messed with, I didn't get mistaken for a snack." Tony helped Steve keep his balance when he noticed he was favoring his leg. "Come on, let's get back to Asgard and the Healers."

"Oh, I'm sure they're going to have a mouthful for you, Rogers." Loki smirked as his hands started to glow. "You disappear for one day and now they have to tend to you again. I will for once be happy to not be on the receiving end of that conversation." Steve smacked his lips a little as Gabby just rested her head on his shoulder, smiling a little.
