Thank you all who have reviewed and followed this story! I hope you enjoyed it! I own only the insanity :D
He lay in what felt like a drugged state. But that couldn't be right could it? No…He had stopped that. He had finished with all of that. Then why did his head feel like it was floating? Not just his head. His whole body felt like it was floating in an ocean of space. He felt hands on him. They were gentle and possessive. He loved that odd mixture. One set was tentative as if they were afraid to touch him, but the touch spoke of ownership and left no doubt about it. The other set was more aggressive, not that the other was lacking confidence, but as if they were afraid of causing pain. While the other, the more aggressive one was fearless.
He made a small noise and the hands seemed to vanish and the space around him came crashing to an end. Now instead of the floating darkness there was hardness beneath him. And pain. A lot of pain. He tried to fight it, tried to fight the urge to scream. He wouldn't. He wouldn't be broken again. His mind was already telling him where the damage was, fingers broken, ribs broken, but most of the injuries were surface ones. He would look like a mess but at least his internal organs were safe for the most part. He closed his eyes and tried to get back to the floating space. Back to those loving hands.

The reason on file for entering the Jameson house without permission was that an anonymous source had called in telling them they had heard screaming coming from the basement. No one on the case would dare to say different considering the state Spencer was in when they found him. When they had entered the basement Freeman was bodily bashing Reid with all his might, asking again and again why Loki wasn't coming.
Morgan didn't even need direction from Hotch as he tackled Freeman to the ground and barked at him to stay down. Though it would have been impossible for him to get up considering Morgan was holding him so tightly his knuckles were turning white. Eventually Hotch helped get Morgan off him. Knowing that the Agent was barely holding himself back from beating the unsub like he did with Reid. The important thing was they had found Spencer and he was going to be alright.
Hotch was not impressed when he found out that the Avengers knew Loki was working with them this whole time and didn't tell anyone. However he could hardly argue with their reasoning and the results it produced. He took the diplomatic option and didn't comment on it. Instead he shook Loki's hand and said sincerely "Thank you."
The God himself hardly moved once they entered the basement. Steve had tried to tell him to hold back in case they had to fight, however one chilling look from the God was enough to silence the matter and he was allowed to follow. Seeing Spencer in that state seemed to sap his strength. He simply stood there, staring blankly at the young agent until Tony came up to him and took his hand into his own. "Loki…He's going to be alright, the EMTs say that it looks worse than it actually is. They put him down for now…just to help with the pain."
Loki gave a sharp nod to indicate that he had heard Tony. When his pose didn't relax the inventor moved to give him some space. The action was stopped however when Loki's hands grasped his shoulders with such strength Tony knew there were going to be some bruises there. "I'm sorry Anthony…I was merely distracted by…" Loki shook his head and he focused his attention on Tony "I have realized that feelings hold greater sway over me than I am accompanied to. I have never seen you in such a state and the thought of both of you being so easily damaged. It was harder for me to processes than I thought it would be."
He gave Tony a roguish smile as he traced the billionaire's jaw line with his slender fingers "How troublesome it is to love humans…" He muttered before giving Tony a fierce kiss. He would have his revenge on Patrick Freeman, but for this moment he wanted to feel Tony against him. He dared the Avengers to do anything about it. None of them did.

It was starting to disturb him how familiar he was becoming to hospital beds. Spencer slowly opened his eyes and winced at the light's brightness. Well at least he woke up. He had been afraid that Freeman's temper was going to get the better of him and he was doomed to be bashed to death in a basement when his team was right next door. He had tried his best to reason with Freeman but he was long past the point of understanding or accepting that there was another way to summon Loki. He had probably intended to kill him now that Spencer thought about it, kill him and sacrifice him in the name of the God. He decided to not think about that for the moment and instead realized that he was not alone in the room as he had first thought.
The sight that met his eyes made him wish he had a camera. Hotch and J.J were leaning against each other as they slept on one of the sitting benches. Morgan had his arms crossed and was leaning against the wall with his eyes closed and snoring lightly. Emily was curled up in her coat on a chair and Rossi had fallen asleep still holding a cup of coffee… which had proceeded to start dripping onto the floor. Unable to help himself Reid felt laughter bubbling up despite his injured ribs as he looked over his team. Unfortunately that was also enough to wake them up and begin a flood of questions. Still it was a memory he would treasure until his (real) dying day.

In a rare moment of thoughtfulness Tony paused to observe Loki before intruding on his thoughts. The God was staring out into the city lights, his hand in the form of a fist as it pressed against the glass (Thank goodness it was now reinforced or he was sure it would be broken by now) his entire body was taunt with tension as he stood as immobile as a statue. Tony smirked and gave a faint shake of his head; he decided that discovering he had a heart and that it felt things had probably shocked the poor God more than he could take.
He came up and wrapped his arms around Loki's slender waist as he rested his head against his shoulders. "I got a call from the intern I bribed at the Hospital. Spencer's up and recovering well, they're going to keep him for a few days for observation but then he can leave."
Normally Loki was adverse to such sentimental physicality. But at the moment he found he was rather enjoying it. He turned and encircled Tony with his own arms. "I am relieved there will be no lasting damage…Though I cannot say the same for our Mr. Freeman."
Arching a brow Tony had to admit he was curious "I was going to ask you about that. I used my connections to make sure he was put away in one of the most questionable mental hospitals there is…but you're acting strangely content…"
A familiar, devious smile revealed itself on Loki's face "Of course I am…I had enough contact with him to ensure that I had access to his mind. It's amazing how much damage one can do with just a few…private moments."
Tony's brow remained arched but he let it rest "Alright have your secrets reindeer games, but you're going to tell me someday." His tone changed as he leaned in and pressed a few open mouth kisses to Loki's neck "What we really need to focus on is how we're going to kidnap our little nerd, and convince him to enter a much safer line of work."
Loki agreed with a throaty chuckle as he let Tony press him up against the glass "Indeed we do…have any clever ideas?"

Leaving the hospital Reid was surprised to find that instead of his team waiting for him was a limo driven by someone named Happy. He supposed that he couldn't really argue and let the driver help him in. He felt a buzz from his phone and pulled it out to see a message waiting from Garcia.
Staying in NY to see the sights? Don't lie to me Baby Genius this Goddess knows you found yourself some eye candy and are staying for a buffet! I demand details and pictures when you get back!
Spencer looked at the message in confusion. He hadn't said anything about taking a vacation…he never took vacation time, none of them really did. He wondered if his team was somehow in on this because it was starting to feel a bit like a set up. The feeling was only cemented when the driver pulled up in front of Stark Tower, now the Avenger's Headquarters, and helped him out.
"Aww he's so adorable when he's confused!" Tony said as he eyed Spencer as if he was a puppy…that he wanted to eat.
Loki was a little bit more refined though he could not help the curve of amusement on his lips "Indeed…I can't wait to help him…understand his new place in life. We really should go slowly though Anthony. It will do no good to startle the boy."
Easier said than done.
The moment Spencer had been brought into the living quarters Tony had pounced on him like a shark. "You really shouldn't be so surprised that we did this…I a mean we weren't' even close to the definition of subtle." He said as he casually helped take Reid's bags.
Spencer flushed and took a few steps back "Well I mean…That is I don't think I really understand…" He choked a bit when Loki came up behind him and pulled him back against his chest to begin unbuttoning his sweater.
"Now now…Anthony is right…we made our intentions quite clear..." His voice was a purr as his lips descended to Spencer's neck and began tasting the pale flesh he had thought about since meeting the young man.
"I..I…ahhnn…"
Tony's expression became darkly ravenous as he helped coordinate them into his room and enlarged bed. "Well we're here to help…Now get out of those ridiculous clothes and onto the bed."
Despite his best efforts Spencer quickly learned that it was nearly impossible to argue with Tony Stark…and ridiculous to even try to argue if Loki was involved. Not that he had much to complain about once they got started.

Pressing his cheek against the Captain's chest Clint smirked when he felt a rise of interest in his Captain's body. It wasn't an easy task keeping up with his stamina, but then again Clint had always been one to enjoy challenges. He curled up against Steve and lazily traced his fingers against the finely toned muscles. "I guess we're going to another person under roof here. Well two if you count Loki but I think he's been here for awhile without telling us."
For once Steve didn't want to talk about business and turned them over pressing Clint carefully back against the bed "Let's not think about that for now…I have something new I want to try."
Clint certainly wasn't going to argue as Steve bound his hands above his head. Since breaking into experimentation Steve had been coming up with new ideas that so far Clint had enjoyed a lot.

Bruce cast a casual glance over his shoulder as he took off his glasses and put them on the nightstand. He slowly unbuttoned the purple shirt he knew that Thor was particularly fond of. The small smile he was sporting made it clear he knew he was testing the God's patience…and enjoying it. He knew that Thor had been taking careful measures to ensure that he did not intrude on Bruce…But now the case was over and he wanted to show his boisterous lover that he appreciated him and to reward him.
Thor's fists were clenched so tightly he was glad that all they held were sheets that could be easily replaced. He felt a moment of tenderness as he watched as Bruce enticingly undressed just for him. His lover constantly felt apologetic for needing his space and special handling. He thought this strange modesty strange…but he loved him all the more for it. Perhaps one day they would be able to understanding.
As Bruce slipped onto his lap his well muscled arms anchored him to help him control his passions as they exchanged a sweet kiss. Perhaps he could help Bruce feel his depth of love. With a joyful smile he decided it wouldn't hurt to try.

Waking up with the morning sunlight dancing on his face Spencer blinked as he slowly woke. He glanced and realized he was mostly undressed. They had not gone all the way last night…but only because his constant blushing helped them realize his inexperience. They had done everything else though. He looked and saw his new...lovers? Lying on either side of him. He could already feel his mind turning out the different possibilities and scenarios resulting in this relationship. He closed his eyes tiredly and shushed it for the time being. He would fully process it later…but for now he decided to do as Morgan would probably advise and 'Go with it.' Besides arguing with these two was pretty useless as he figured out last night. The future could wait. Right now he was technically on vacation, no doubt to Tony's manipulations, he might as well enjoy it. He turned and settled back into the spot nestled between them and slipped back into restful sleep as Tony and Loki covered him with their protective arms. The same hands that he dreamed about were holding him now.

In his cell Patrick Freeman was pacing wondering how his all his magnificent plans had fallen to rubble. He pulled is hair brutally with his hands when he looked up at the shadow was taking form in front of him. He sank to his knees when he saw it was Lord Loki, coming to aid him at last!
Loki smiled at the man groveling in front of him. "Hello Patrick Freeman…I have promised to leave you to the law's mercy…But then again, I've never been very good at keeping my promises. And I don't believe in mercy for those who transgress against me."
Freeman's screams were silenced shortly after they began.
