Chapter 1 – Prologue:

"If its all the same to you." Loki panted, looking at the band of Avengers that had formed around him. "I'll have that drink now."

Hawkeye withdrew his bow once he was certain the God would not fight back and Nat pulled him back gently to let Thor step up to his so-called brother.

Thor grabbed his brother roughly by the front of his armour, hauling him up to his feet. "No more jokes, Loki!" His grip moved to his brothers arms as he shook him slightly. "Do you have any idea what you have done?" Thor pushed Loki away but he managed to keep his balance in front of his brother, looking at him with a glare that could kill.

After everything Loki had done in the past, Thor was still in disbelief at how stupid and reckless he could be. Taking over Midgard was by far one of Loki's stupid ideas. Loki gave his signature smirk before eventually sneering at his brother like usual.

"What I have done?" Loki sighed defeated as a pair of cuffs were handed to Thor by Stark. "I did this to prove myself to that oaf you call a father!" At this, Thor slapped the cuffs on his wrists and tightened them so they hugged him tightly leaving no room for escape. Loki huffed like a child before scowling at his brother.

Thor pulled Loki in close by his leather armour. "Odin is going to be disappointed in you." Was all he said before S.H.I.E.L.D Agents entered the Tower. He's always disappointed in me, Loki thought to himself as he watched the Agents carefully. They began securing the area while making sure the Tesseract was safely locked away in a thick metal case while Loki's sector was locked away in a separate case.

"Cap, we need to start handling this situation properly." Came Director Fury's deep voice through the communications link.

"I'm on my way down to co-ordinate search and rescue." Was the Captains strong, patriotic reply as he headed towards the elevator where some agents had already accumulated.

And Loki, the God of mischief that he is, did what he did best - cause mischief.

He couldn't help himself as he quickly shrouded himself as the captain before imitating him in a terrible American accent.

"On my way down to co-ordinate search and rescue." He lifted the shrouded illusion before continuing in a cocky manor "I mean honestly, how do you keep yo-"

"Shut. Up." Thor commanded as he silenced Loki's silver tongue with a metal gag. Loki sighed inwardly at his brothers attempts to keep him subdued.

"Ready to move out." A S.H.I.E.L.D. agent said into the coms link and Loki found himself being dragged towards the elevator by his arm roughly. The looked up at Thor with a scowl as he reluctantly let his brother lead them to their destination. Thor pushed him into the elevator as Stark got in with the case and sat on it. The Hulk approached as the doors began to close but everyone stopped him.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa." Stark said defensively, motioning around the elevator. "Maximum occupancy has been reached."

"Take the stairs." Thor added, much to Loki's surprise, before Hulk gave a very angry growl. Loki couldn't help but give a little sarcastic wave much to The Hulks demise.

As the doors closed, they heard a smash indicating the hulk had punched the doors. Yet another thing that needed fixing.

The elevator came to a stop and Loki yet again was being dragged by his brother. The grip was tight and with intent, Thor didn't want Loki getting away again. Loki didn't pay too much attention to the conversation that was happening around him as they knew they were talking about him. His eyes met those that were around him and they looked at him with fear in their eyes; Loki liked that.

"I will take him back to Asgard." Thor's voice mentioning his home was enough to make Loki pay attention to what was being said. Director Fury was in front of him wearing a very hard to read look.

"I don't think so," Fury crossed his arms in front of his chest. "He needs to answer for his crimes."

"And he will," Thor said turning to look at Loki. "At Asgard."

"No," Fury said again. "I can't let you take a criminal off world."

"His crimes weren't only to this realm." Thor explained. "They are to all the nine realms, he needs to answer to the Allfather, not to you and some petty government." Fury didn't look impressed by Thors' words but after a few minutes of silence he nodded reluctantly. Thor gave a quiet thanks before giving his brother a sorrowful look.

Before Loki knew it, he was being dragged outside by his brother as he explained to a now calm and clothed Bruce Banner that he was in need of the tesseracts powers to get him back to Asgard. Bruce and Eric set to placing the tesseract in a glass container which would allow Thor to use it to travel. Thor was handed the container while Loki looked at him with pleading eyes. Thor ignored him as he looked towards to his brother and offered him the other side of the tesseract chamber. He reluctantly took it before a loud thunder-like rumble sounded from behind them.

Suddenly, a deep purple portal opened up behind them and out stepped out the Chitauri leader; The Other followed by a three Chitauri soldiers. The soldiers charged towards the group of unarmed Avengers while The Other approaches Loki and Thor. Thor summons his hammer ready to fight the Other but he is knocked back by The Other as a he sends a shockwave towards Thor. The Other grabs Loki, forcefully pulling him towards him by his throat.

He growled fiercely. "We will make you suffer!" His voice was menacing and held purpose to his threat as he squeezed Loki's throat tighter making it hard for Loki to breathe. The other gave one last look towards the band of heroes before pushing Loki into the portal and following close behind without the Chitauri soldiers. The avengers had just defeated them in time to see the portal closing behind them before anyone else could follow.

"No!" Thor shouted as he ran towards where the portal had opened. Stark was soon behind him, kicking a piece of defenceless litter before cussing. "The son of a bitch!"

A/N:

I had this idea while re-watching the Avengers movie. The scene where the chitauri (The other) meets with Loki and threatens him with pain made me think of this. The scene can be found here:

/OjlG1j226pc Entitled 'The Avengers: Loki meets with the Chitauri'

This chapter is mainly me trying to piece together what happened in the ending of avengers while adding my part at the end.
