Thank you all for the reviews! ;)

While I do have an outline of the story, I am also making this up as I go, so I am not entirely sure of the ending yet, i.e. Hogun/Loki or Tony/Loki or ?/Loki... But I love surprises!

Also, English is not my first language and I do not currently have a beta, so please excuse any mistakes that you see. ;D

Unbeta-ed

WARNING : Violence

"Tell me, how many have you took to your bed?" Hogun asked as they laid on the bed together. Hogun had his left arm around Loki while the young prince rested his head at the crook of the warrior's neck.

Loki frowned at the question and asked "Why do you need to know?" He had always been a private person, unlike Thor and the other warriors who would announce their conquests to any that would hear them.

"Curiosity," Hogun said with a smile.

"Am I to be punished?" Loki narrowed his eyes as he asked.

Hogun planted a kiss Loki's crown and said, "For your misdeeds? Yes. For your bed partners in the past? No."

"Must I tell you?" Loki asked with a pout.

"Would you disobey an order?" Hogun trailed.

"You just said that it was because you were being nosy," came the retort.

Loki yelped as Hogun pinched him on his buttock and puffed in annoyance as the warrior laughed.

Loki then said in a resigned voice, "Very well. It is not really a secret. I have had only two bed partners. Svadilfari and Angrboða."

Hogun was surprised with Loki's answer. The young prince was well over the age of majority and he had expected the prince to be more, well, experienced. "Only two? Both with whom you had children with?"

Loki asked indignantly, "What are you implying?! I will have you know that I am neither promiscuous nor easy." And then he added softly, "My children had suffered because they were mine. I fear to think if I should have more children." Hogun gave Loki's crown another kiss.

Both of them were deep in their own thoughts when Hogun broke the silence, "What if you were to bear my child?"

Loki snorted, "Unless you have magic to change me into a woman, I do not see how that is possible."

Hogun grinned victoriously and asked "So... you WOULD have MY children?"

Loki frowned and quickly turned towards the warrior and said, "I did not say that. Do not twist my word."

Hogun laughed at his charge. "Mark my words, Loki Odinson, one day, you would bear me a child," Hogun whispered as he nuzzled his nose with Loki's and then pulled the young prince into a deep kiss.

'I'm sorry, Hogun. I have betrayed you. Please forgive me,' was Loki's first thought as he gained consciousness. Hogun was still continuing with his brutal assault. The prince let out a keening sound at Hogun's particular hard thrusts. It was painful and Loki thought he had deserved it. He was in agony and was too tired to fight back so he cried silent tears instead.

"This is what you get, you wretched being. Shall I ask the guards if they wanted a turn? Shall I ask them if a whore is what you wanted to be?" Hogun sneered as he rammed into Loki.

'No... please... I'm sorry,' was what he wanted to say but he did not have the energy so he whimpered instead.

Hogun's assault was interrupted when the door to their quarters exploded and as Hogun turned towards the interference, he saw the Mjolnir-wielding Thor and Sif ran into the room.

Loki did not see but heard his brother and he would not admit it afterwards, but Loki breathed in relief. 'Thor is here.'

Anger filled the thrunderer's usually happy face and he bellowed, "HOGUN! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?"

It must have been quite the scene from the thunderer's eyes. His little brother was badly bruised and battered, his face so swollen that he was almost not recognizable. The said little brother was also naked, both legs hoisted on Hogun's shoulders.

Hogun, with both his hands still on Loki's horribly bruised hips, snarled at the newcomers, "Thor? You cannot be here, the Allfather said that..."

It took Thor only a few strides to reach the bed. With all his strength, he pushed the other warrior off his brother and, both he and Sif grimaced as they heard the disgusting wet sound when Hogun disconnected himself from Loki. He yelled angrily, "Get off him! That does not excuse your behaviour! My father did not say anything about torturing my brother!"

Thor decided that his brother was his first priority and so he placed Mjolnir on the floor while he knelt on the bed and tried to rouse his brother, "Loki, brother, can you hear me? Wake up, brother..."

Loki whimpered. He was awake but both his eyes were so swollen that it was easy to mistaken them to be closed. He whispered softly, "Thor, you came."

"Yes, brother. I am here. Do not worry, I am here for you," Thor tried to reassure the young prince. He wanted to touch Loki's face but he was afraid that he'd forgot his strength and would hurt his brother further.

Thor addressed Sif, who stood by the bed and tried to hold back her tears, "Lady Sif, would you be so kind to stay with my brother while I deal with... him."

Sif nodded and sat on the bed beside Loki. She took off her cloak and covered Loki with it. Then, with the gentlest touch, she gathered Loki in her arms. Loki whimpered at the unfamiliar touch but he was already broken, he didn't think it would matter anymore.

Thor turned towards Hogun who was already dressed in his light tunic and leggings, "How could you do this? How COULD you? I trusted you with his being!"

Hogun glared at Loki and then snarled, "Ask him what he did! Ask him how he betrayed me! Ask him how he offered his body like a whore in exchange for freedom!"

Thor was rightly angered by the accusations and he grabbed Hogun by his neck and slammed the other warrior to the wall. He gritted his teeth and said, "My brother would do no such thing! He may be a trickster, he may make mischief and tell lies, but he would never, NEVER, give his body away so easily."

Hogun snarled in return, "Oh, but he did! Your precious little brother led Volstagg and Fandral to my quarters and he gave himself to them and in return, they are to aid him with his escape plan. Your brother let them take him like a whore in my quarters so that he may escape."

Thor slammed the warrior to the wall again and said, "YOU LIE!"

And to which Hogun laughed and snarled, "They told me. Your warrior friends told me."

And Thor growled, "THEY LIED!" as he tightened his grip on Hogun's neck.

"Who would you believe? Your fellow warriors... or... the liesmith?" Hogun choked from Thor's strong hold.

If Loki was more conscious than he was at that moment, he would have flinched at his brother's hesitance. After a moment of hesitation, Thor released Hogun's neck from his grip and the warrior slumped against the wall.

Thor glanced at his brother and his heart bled at the image of the broken figure that Sif held in her arms. He whispered softly, "You should not have hurt him so, Hogun. You knew that he's not as strong, now that he is without his magic."

But Hogun heard him just fine and yelled, "He was planning an escape! I had to punish him! It is my duty to do so! Do not forget, Thor, he is mine now." Thor growled at him but Hogun stood his ground and said, "Get out of here prince, or I will bring this to the Allfather."

And Thor snapped back at him, "Yes, and you can explain to him why his son looked like he was near death!"

"I did what I had to do! He disrespected me!" Hogun yelled back.

"So you beat him half to death?" With that, Thor summoned all of his might to swung his fist and it connected with Hogun's jaw. Hogun's body flipped upon impact and his body hit the wall. The wall cracked where his head hit and the warrior dropped to the ground unconscious.

Thor looked at his fist, as if he did not believe that he had just hit his old friend but he was brought out of his stupor by Sif's voice.

"Thor, Loki is asking for you," Sif said. She had kept her calm for Thor's benefit. He had told her to stay with Loki and that was what she did. She decided that she would hold her judgement until after the situation was resolved.

Thor went to the two figures on the bed and took over Sif's position. "Loki, peace brother, I am here now." And Loki clung to his brother. Thor saw his brother's lips moved, as if he wanted to speak so he lowered his ear to his brother's lips. "What is is, brother?" Thor asked softly.

"Please... Thor... portal... behind waterfalls... Vale... of Crystals," Loki whispered with difficulties.

"Portal to where brother?" Thor asked. "Mid... gard," was Loki's short answer.

Thor looked at Sif with a frown. He did not understand what his brother wanted. 'Why would we need a portal to Midgard?' he thought.

Luckily for him, Sif was a bright student at comprehension, definitely better than Thor, "If we want to get Loki away from Asgard, we can't go to Heimdall. Even though I'm his sister, he is loyal to Odin. He won't let you use the Bitfrost to smuggle Loki out of Asgard."

Thor frowned, "Why would Loki leave Asgard? We can bring this matter to Odin and ask him to release Loki from Hogun's custody. Surely he would see reason!"

Sif shook her head and said slowly, "There are simply too many of those who would want to see Loki punished. The Allfather would not be so lenient as to see Loki released. If you want to save Loki from all this, you must take him away."

Thor took a long hard look at his brother and decided that he had done worse things than to save his brother's life and said, "Very well. We should make haste then." He picked up his brother in a bridal carry and was ready to leave the room with Sif at his side when they found that Hogun had regained consciousness. With his mace in his hands, Hogun stood at the bedroom door, successfully blocked their escape route.

"He deserved his punishment, Thor. He is my charge and you must not interfere with this. The Allfather gave him to me. THAT was the agreement," Hogun growled.

Thor passed his brother to Sif and then picked up Mjolnir from the floor.

At the sight of Mjolnir, Hogun asked in disbelief, "You would use Mjolnir against me?!"

Thor shook his head slwoly but he said, "I do not want to but I am only protecting my brother."

"You brother who had betrayed Asgard. Betrayed you. And now, he had betrayed me. He is a liesmith! HE IS A WRETCHED WHORE!" Hogun yelled angrily and in a moment of stupidity, he charged towards the thunderer.

Unfortunately, Loki heard the exchange between his brother and his minder, and his heart broke at Hogun's accusations, he himself believed that he was at fault. 'I should not have invited Volstagg to come over. I should not have given him the opportunity to turn this against me. I'm sorry, Hogun. Please forgive me,' his mind thought.

Thor was furious, and in one swift motion, he was ready to swing Mjolnir towards the other warrior but Loki saw his intent before his action. Believed that his actions had put Hogun in danger, Loki summoned all of this strength, scrambled out of Sif's arms and threw himself in front of Thor just as the thunderer raised and released Mjolnir. Loki had always had the advantage of speed on his side. The thunderer and the warrior (and Sif) could only look on in horror as Mjolnir hit Loki and his body flew backwards upon the impact.

Mjolnir returned to Thor and Loki hit the wall hard, his broken body then slumped to the ground.

Is Loki confused? Is it Stockholm Syndrome? How will Loki survive the rescue? Stay tuned... ;p
