Natasha was running her fingers through Loki's hair she knew that he couldn't see her comforting him but she still wanted him to feel safe as much as she could by the looks of his injuries he had gone through hell and although she wanted him to be punished she didn't this in any way Loki was partially knocking on deaths doors he was so tiny and fragile, broken. Natasha knew she should call Shield or Fury but the only thing that would do was add to Loki's unending trauma he has gone through enough probably worse than anything Natasha went through in the Red Room. The elevator dinged making Natasha alert that someone was on her floor and she really wished it wasn't Clint or Steve they would call Sheild without hesitation and Clint might as well even kill Loki.
Natasha got up making her way to the living room to see who it was and closing her bedroom door to keep Loki away from prying eyes, Natasha let out a sigh of relief when she saw it was Bruce and Tony if it was anyone else she would have to lie and kick them out soon. Bruce was confused Jarvis told him Natasha needed his help but as far as he could see she was perfectly fine. Tony was scared and confused why Natasha called him she rarely calls him to her floor so he suspected Natasha was going to kill him for something he can't remember doing.
"So your not going to kill me. Well maybe you are and Bruce is here to help." Tony said
"As much as I would enjoy killing you that's not why I called you here," Natasha said
"Natasha I thought you were injured or something so why do you need us," Bruce said
"Thor and I need your help."
"Oh, You and Pointbreak I always thought it was you and Katniss," Tony said
"There is nothing going on between me and Thor and Clint is my best friend."
"What do you need help with," Bruce asked
"Thor-" Before Natasha could answer the elevator doors opened showing Thor who was out of his wet clothes and in Black jeans and a white t-shirt and in his hand he was holding a black t-shirt, Thor made his way to them Bruce and Tony realized he wasn't his usual bubbly self, he wasn't wearing his usual smile so they knew something was wrong.
"I brought the shirt you requested Lady Natasha."
"Thor I asked Bruce and Tony for help I hope that's okay, I'll let you explain," Natasha said leaving the 3 men to talk about what Thor needs for them Natasha hopes Bruce will help because they are the only people Thor will trust. Natasha enters her room and goes to the almost limp body that is buried under her covers, she a gently as he can props Loki up to help him into the shirt, Natasha takes note of how light he is she can she ever bone in his body, count ever rib. Natasha knows she shouldn't feel sorry for him he was a murder but so was she, she killed more people than he had, but that didn't matter now he was a child who knew nothing of any crimes and was getting punished and beaten by the men he called father. The door to Natasha's room open with Thor in the front and Bruce and Tony staggering behind when they all got closer to the bed Natasha didn't move from her spot, she saw the guilt and hurt in Thor's eyes as he looked down at Loki's body.
"Can we take off his shirt I know you just put it on Natasha but I need to see what I working with," Bruce said, Natasha understood he had to see the injuries she just hoped that he had the stomach to see them she slowly took off the shirt revealing Loki's bruised body, she saw Tony look away muttering something she couldn't understand, she sower she saw Bruce almost turn green and Thor bowed his head guilty that he wasn't there to help.
"Will you help him?" Thor asked
"Of course I will Thor but I need medical equipment that isn't here so someone is going to have to go get it. Is he sedated?"
"Yes I had to keep him quiet and I also need to not worry about him when I got him out we couldn't leave right away it would raise alarms. I got healing stones to help him."
"I'll go get everything you need and I mean everything from med bay and I'll get something for that collar that's around his neck," Tony said rushing out of the room he couldn't see Loki like that it reminded him of the time he got kidnaped. No one said anything they just watched Loki take uneven painful breaths it was 10 minutes later that Tony came back with a cart full of anything and all things Bruce needed to treat Loki and tools to free Loki's neck from the collar, Bruce made Thor and Natasha leave so they could work in peace. Thor said nothing and neither did Natasha they waited for an hour before both Bruce and Tony appeared out of her room cart and collar in hand as they exited.
"I cleaned up the wounds and put the healing stones as you requested you should rest Thor really," Bruce said
"Thank you Son of Banner Loki and I are forever in your debt," Thor said a little bit of happiness could be heard in his voice
"So I'm guessing Papa Fury will not be knowing about this and neither will Capsicle or Katniss," Tony said putting the collar down wanting to get rid of the thing
"I don't want my brother being held Captive by Shield I can't. Odin will know I helped Loki escaped and then for sure I will never see my brother again."
"Thor's right Loki doesn't need to be imprisoned in another block especially if he doesn't remember the reasons why he is in the box," Natasha said she knew it would make her no better then Odin if she sent Loki to Shield.
"Then it's settled Loki is our little secret and Thor you're going to need to find a place safe for Loki I don't need Fury breathing down my neck when he finds out we helped you. Jarvis lockdown Natasha floor, only me, her, Thor and Bruce are allowed in." Tony turned to leave not saying anything else and with Bruce right behind him Leaving Natasha and Thor alone.
"I'll show you to the guest room you need rest." And that what Natasha didn't she showed Thor to her guest room and she herself took the other guess room she needed rest and so did everyone tonight was eventful and feeling were scattered and shattered.
