"Loki, what have you done?". Thor stood standing opposite his brother, disappointment in his eyes.
The wind blew through the broken window of Stark towers.
Loki stood frozen to the spot as he stared at the empty space where Emma had once been. Steve walked over his face white, tears in his eyes. Tony and Pepper slowly stood up holding on to each other.
"You are telling us everything you know, or so help me God I will kill you right here right now". Natasha held a gun to Loki's head shaking slightly.
The pale God stood still and stared up towards the group of people that he had just killed.
What had the women done? She had gained more powers than anyone in Asgard, more than any of the Frost Giants. To have to ability to bring life back from death was incomparable. How could one mortal have so much control.
"I will come with you mortals". Loki whispered to Natasha bitterly, "For I have much more to learn".
"You have once again betrayed your family brother, your debt will be high; for any sort of forgiveness". Thor said, pulling Loki around allowing Natasha to handcuff him.
Thor and Natasha dragged a slightly shocked looking Loki towards, a S.H.I.E.L.D. jet that landed on top of Stark towers. All of the Avengers were required to board the hellicarrier.
"How are you feeling Tony?". Steve entered the emergency room section of S.H.I.E.L.D's hellicarrier.
He smiled at the man in front of him, the smile not fully reaching his eye's as his heart felt heavy in his chest.
"I'm alive". Tony smiled weakly at the captain. "I guess bleeding to death and being brought back to life from magic really takes it out on you". Tony stood up flexing his muscles lightly.
He looked at the broken man staring at him, feeling the pain of losing the one he loves.
"I'm glad to here you're all right". Steve sat awkwardly on the hospital bed looking at his feet.
His mind went back to the moment when all the pain of Loki's curse was lifted, he had felt a presence of Emma around him, healing him.
"We'll get her back, Steve". Tony said leaning against the wall directly opposite him. "She's a hero. She chose to save us all, even though it put herself in danger". Tony's hands clenched suddenly in frustration. "And we will find every damn way to get her back".
Steve's head shot up staring at Tony, his eye's full of grief.
"You saw how much agony she was in, it wasn't like last time; Emma hasn't transported herself somewhere safe. How could she?". Steve shouted. "The power she used to save us, was killing her."
Tony had never seen Steve like this, his usual cool exterior was crumbling. Everyone he had ever known and loved was dead. Now he had lost the one thing that had given his life hope and meaning. Emma.
Tony thought back to the moment when Loki had thrown Pepper out of the building. His heart felt heavy.
"Stay strong, we'll find her." The solider took deep breathes calming himself.
"I can't lose anyone else, I don't think I can handle it". Steve whispered. Slowly standing up he gave a small smile to Tony, "Thanks Tony, if you need me I'll be with Doctor Banner".
Tony watched as the solider left the hospital room. Ever since they had all been taken in by S.H.I.E.L.D to figure out how each of them were healed there had been a heavy tension in the air. Tony should have died. Running a hand through his brown hair, he felt himself relax slightly as a pale Pepper walked into the room.
Tony and Pepper had not got to full talk after the incident with Loki, and watching the red head walk towards him he felt a sense of control radiate from her.
"Toni-" Pepper began before being cut of by Tony's finger on her lips, blushing slightly.
"Pepper I'm in love with you. I always have been and I always will be". Tony spoke quietly tears forming in his eyes. "I will never forgive myself for letting him touch you, and the thought of you falling out of the tower because of me kills me inside". Tony looked away from her eyes, suddenly embarrassed; he had never been one for emotions or love, but dying had shown him everything he'd felt inside about Pepper. "I understand if you want to leave, to be somewhere safe, with someone who can protect you."
Pepper stood still, unable to speak from what she had just heard. Shaking slightly at the memory of fall down the tower, seeing the ground creep closer and closer to her face before being slowly lifter back up by a blue cloud.
Slowly Pepper moved in to kiss Tony, pulling her arms around his neck feeling his arms wrap supportively around her waist.
"I love you too". She whispered holding onto him tightly.
