Chapter 3
Loki quickly sent a text to Tony, sending the address where he was heading. Once he did that he snapped his fingers and disappeared in a cloud of green smoke.
He appeared in a dark room. There was a couch with a small fireplace across from it and then a tiny dining table in the other corner. He looked around the dingy room then made his way to the basement door. He opened the door slowly and then creeped down the stairs. Trying to not make a sound as he did. He soon reached the base of the steps and then walked to the cellar door. Obviously Peter was there and he knew it. He walked up to the door then opened it slowly, his eyes widened as he took in the state of his son. "Peter…"
He rushed forward and took his battered face in his hands. "Peter come on son, wake up" He mutters and sighs in relief when he notices Peter's eyes crack open.
"D-dad" Peter's voice cracks as he looks at Loki, still hanging from the chains Arne hung him with. Loki makes quick work of them and Peter slumps into Loki's arms unable to hold himself up.
"Peter you need to turn into your frost giant form." Peter whimpers at this and shakes his head. Loki knew that if Arne came back it would be worse and he needed Peter to be as protected as possible. This meant the Frost Giant form. "Peter please, only until I return you to the compound, I promise everything will be okay" Peter sighs quietly and reluctantly nods. Clenching onto Loki's shirt his form began to change from the small human to a blue boy. Loki's blue boy. "That's it" Loki mumbles and then quickly begins to climb out of the basement.
Once he was on the main level he saw the team he smiled a little and looked down at the form in his arms.
"Is that the kid?" Tony whispers quietly as he stares at the now unconscious Peter. Loki nods in response and his eyes travel to his brother Thor. Thor gave Loki a smile back, this moment was ruined by Arne crashing into the room and running to attack Loki. His eyes widen and he stumbles back slightly. Just as Arne was going to hit him Thor's hammer hit Arne's face and propelled him into a nearby wall.
"Tony you return with Loki and the kid," Steve says, in his authoritative voice. There was no room to fight what he said. "Thor and I will deal with this trash." He growls the last bit and pulls his shield off his back. Loki nods then grabs Tony's arm and teleports them back to the compound.
Steve flings his shield at Arne and is quickly followed by a kick in the gut. All while Thor makes a move towards him and grabs the Chitauri by his throat. The grip is tight enough to make it difficult to breathe though still be able to speak. "You hurt my nephew. You will never be forgiven." Thor grounds out with a punch to the face with each word.
BACK AT THE TOWER
"BANNER!" Loki yells as the appear in the living room. Tony and Loki then rush into the clinic with Peter in his arms. He places Peter on the bed trying to be as gentle as possible. Peter groaned quietly and shifted on the bed. Loki tapped Peter's forehead and sent a wave of magic through his son. Forcing the boy to change back into his human form. At this moment Bruce bursts into the room and rushes to Peter. Knowing the extent of Peter's injuries from the call he immediately begins to treat him.
Bruce's brows furrow as he focuses on stitching up the deeper gashes. Once they were all stitched up he moved to Peter's ribs. They were visibly disformed. Bruce grits his teeth and makes quick work to fix them. Making Peter scream and bolt up from the bed. Loki rushed to Peter's side and held his shoulders muttering soothing words as Bruce wrapped his chest.
"All done" Bruce muttered hoarsely. His face pale and he looked up at Loki quietly.
"Thank you Banner" Loki said gratefully. He pulled his son to him and held him close on his lap. Looking down at the unconscious boy he softly kissed his forehead. Sending a wave of healing magic through his son as an extra measure.
"I'm happy the kid's safe Loki" Tony mutters and collapses on a nearby chair, letting out a huge sigh of relief. Loki nodded silently and tightened his arms around his son protectively.
"Likewise Stark…. Arne could've done worse I'm glad he didn't" Loki mutters. Tony looked up at Loki.
"What made this… Arne dude do this… like what did you do Loki" Tony asked unable to hold back the question.
"Well… remember my attack on New York…" Loki began.
Well cliffhanger! Next week we learn about Loki's past o.o
Also apologies for the slow and short update. I currently finishing up my courses for my last year in highschool and it's pretty demanding. I'll try to update soon!
