Chapter Two

"Deploy!" Tony screamed at Jarvis.

The suit flew out, managing to wrap Tony in a comfortable second skin just before he hit the ground. Turning back up towards the tower in his flight. "Thor, I need you at the tower now. There is something wrong with Loki."

"I thought we had covered that by the fact he murdered 80 people in two days." Romanov commented.

"Enough Nat, I think Loki is just as controlled as Barton was. His eyes are blue, completely blue. I saw a flash of green and he was a different person, but then a few moments later the blue came back and he tried to kill me." Tony replied.

"Man of Iron, do you think my brother can be saved?" Thor asked over the coms.

"Yes. Meet me at the tower." Tony replied, "And make it fast. He could run."

"I hit Barton really hard on the head and he kind of snapped out of it, but it took time." Natasha commented.

"Oooh, lets drop a chunk of my building on him then." Tony laughed, "it's fine I can afford the repairs."

Loki was still stalking the platform as the Man of Iron and his brother arrived. He shot at them with blasts from the sceptre. "You will be purged from this land for the greater good!" Loki snarled.

Thor landed Infront of his brother, "Please, stop this madness. We can fix this together, you can still come home to Asgard with me, brother."

"You. Are. Not. My. Brother!" Loki snapped, attacking him."

Stark blew the God back with a blast from his suit, "Reindeer games, take it easy, you were perfectly fine when we were having a nice drink. Put the sceptre down and talk with us. Tell us what you need."

"I need to be left alone!" Loki snapped.

"Brother let us help you. We can fight side by side again, just like when we were young. We can stop this army."

"I AM NOT YOUR BROTHER!" Loki screamed, attacking Thor.

Tony knocked the sceptre from his hand as he joined into the battle. "Thor we gotta control him, knock him out or get him on our side."

Natasha flew passed falling from one of the flying creatures that she had been hitching a ride from. "Call him your brother again." She asked.

"Loki, brother, let us help you." Thor said trying to hold the God back from attacking her.

Loki growled, the blue in his eyes growing darker, "I am not and have never been your brother." As he stabbed Thor with one of his daggers.

"Mind control triggered to certain words. Brother being one of them." Natasha commented, she tapped her com, "Big guy, we are gonna need you up top."

"What's your play?" Stark asked, beating Loki back with his blaster as the man tried to tear both him and the God of Thunder apart.

"Barton was cured by being hit really hard on the head; we need someone big enough to do the same." She replied.

Hulk came slamming onto the roof top at her request, "Smash?"

"Smash Loki."

The Hulk grinned coming forward as the other's parted to let him through.

"I am a God you dull creatures. I will not be bullied by …." Loki broke off as the Hulk grabbed his leg slamming him from side to side into the roof top. Before throwing him to the ground. Loki lay there stunned, barely able to breathe.

"if you killed my brother!" Thor snapped, "I will destroy your green monster."

Tony came down to the God's side, "Loki, can you talk?"

Loki looked up at him tiredly, in clear pain. "What do you want mortal?" His eyes were green/blue. It was a start.

"How do we end this, brother?" Thor asked.

"The staff." He wheezed, "The key to the portal is the staff."

Natasha grabbed it and ran.

Hulk flying off to smash some more elsewhere.

Leaving the three of them alone.

"Thank you, Loki." Thor said quietly, "We will talk after the battle is won." Whirling the hammer, he flew back up into the sky.

And then there were two.

Tony watched as the God tried to pull himself upright out of the crater the Hulk had left him in. "Grab yourself a drink and wait it out. You did your part. You did good."

"I do not need your praise mortal!"

"I think you need it more than you admit."

And then Tony was gone as well, back into the battle and Loki was left all alone on a roof top watching a battle to make Midgard his. Not sure if he even wanted Midgard anymore.
