Loki's eyes flickered as the blue magic called to him. Tony's shaking hands placed the staff in Loki's. "Come on Loki." He whispered. "Please please wake up." Tony's hands clutched Loki's tightly. The god did not move. "Loki...Loki...I" Tony swallowed. "I need you. Please please just wake up."
A blue glow came from the staff and a very small amount of magic skittered across Loki's body. Loki's eyes flicked open and he pulled in a gasp of air. Tony fell backwards in shock. He realized then that he didn't actually expect the god to wake up. His heart thumped loud as Loki turned to look at him.
"Tony..." He whispered and a smile crept across his face.
"Thank god!" Tony threw himself on to Loki. He didn't care that this man had betrayed him and would quite possibly stab him in the back. Tony was just so glad that Loki was alive.
Tony's lips found Loki's in a passionate kiss filled with need. He felt the man underneath him give up and relax. "So your not here to kill me?" Loki gasped out as they paused for breath.
"I could never..."
"Stark let me explain..."
"I don't want to hear it." Tony said flatly
"Please..."
"Loki I don't want to hear your lies!" Tony felt the anger creeping back in to him. The god was alive but not forgiven.
"Don't you see...?!"
"Yah! You betrayed me! You played me this whole time!" There they were again. Tony found himself lashing out in anger.
"I had to!"
"No you didn't!"
"I had to stop them from doing those things again too me. Tony they wanted to take me back there!"
"And to keep you here they made you do all this to me. Do you really think I believe that!"
"Tony they wanted to take you too! I did this to save your sorry ass from the pain I went through! I could handle it again! You...you're human you couldn't! You would die Tony!"
Tony looked down beneath him at the god. Tony hated betrayal, it reminded him of Obi. But there was something in Loki's eyes. He just couldn't believe that this man had betrayed him, truly. "It was all for you." Loki whispered. "I couldn't let them take you." He looked away from the mortal on top of him. Tony stared down in to those eyes and suddenly something hit him.
"Your eyes...they're blue?" Loki looked up startled.
"Blue?" His voice was shaking. "It can't...It must..."
"What? What's wrong?"
"My magic." Loki looked down at his hands focusing hard. Nothing happened. Tony was starting to get a feeling something was horrible wrong. He got off the god and Loki sat up still looking at his hands. "It's gone...It's really gone..."
"Loki what the fuck is going on?"
"I...It's a long story." He looked away.
"He saved your existence." Heimdall's voice boomed. Loki instantly grabbed his staff. Tony looked wildly around for the source of the voice. "I am not here to harm you, rather to inform you. Loki laufeyson the Allfather has granted you life once more but you have been stripped of all your magical powers." Loki gave Tony a puzzled look. Tony looked back in equal if not more confusion. "I have been sent to give you this message. We appreciate your help in regards to the Chitauri's and for that the council has decided to grant you your freedom, but your magic will not be given back."
