How to fix a broken god
Chapter 2
About 3 hours had past and Loki was now lying in the bed with clean sheets and some new clothes, as his other ones were basically destroyed. Bruce and Tony had taken care of all his wounds, well I say Bruce and Tony, mainly Bruce with Tony fetching the things he needed and then hovering around trying to be helpful. As well as the bruising on his neck and many cuts, (some deeper than others, one still had fragments of whatever they had used on him inside the cut), he had two broken fingers on his right hand, most of the bones broken in his left hand and one of his ankles where fractured.
Tony was glad Loki had been asleep the whole time it must have been extremely painful, Loki was still asleep now so when Bruce had finished he went back up to his workshop to continue working on his suit. "JARVIS can you monitor Loki for me, I want to be informed if he's going to wake up," Tony told JARVIS, he didn't want Loki freaking out and burning down the tower. He also didn't know if Loki could use his magic or whether he was too weak. "Yes sir." JARVIS replied "Would you also like me to inform SHEILD of Loki's presence here?" "No don't." Tony had decided to keep Loki a secret for as long as he could or at least until he was better.
Late that night Bruce came up to Tony's workshop. "Tony how do you suppose you're going to keep this from Pepper?" Tony was shocked at the question I mean it wasn't that important. "I don't know I just won't tell her I guess." "Tony she lives here you don't think see may just notice, she could tell Fury before she asks you and then what? You will be in serious trouble!" Tony sighed "Then I won't allow that situation to happen if she tries to go in there I'll…..I'll...get JARVIS to tell her I had a dangerous experiment in there or something." Tony could tell Bruce was going to be a pain about this "Won't she wonder why it's not in one of the labs?" Tony stood up "I'll think about it when it happens, for now she's away for a few days so I don't have to worry. Anyway it's too late to be interrogated be you I'm going to bed." and with that he walked out the room leaving an annoyed Bruce behind him.
Tony woke up the next day surprisingly early, especially because it took him so long to get to sleep the previous night, due to over thinking about a particular god. He was worrying about him way more then he should be.
Tony thought it best to get up and check on Loki. Tony wanted to try to make sure he was there when Loki woke up so he could explain and hopefully stop Loki from committing any form of violence.
Tony went down to the medical suite and input the pass code to unlock the door. Tony put the lock on as a poor attempt to keep Loki in, although if Loki tried to escape he could probably just blasts the door off. As he walked in Loki jumped and quickly sat up right, wincing in pain and looking around the room franticly. "Hey relax your fine," Tony told him although fine probably wasn't the word. "Where am I?" Loki ask but it ended up wincing in pain again because of the cuts around him mouth and started having a violent coughing fit, Tony walked over to the sink and filled a glass with water then handed it to Loki. He took it but eyed Tony suspiciously, "What? I didn't poison it, I saved you from bleeding to death, it would be pointless to kill you now," Tony mused. Loki quickly drank the drink then gave it to Tony, "You were thirsty," Tony stated, "Well that's what happens when you don't get a proper drink for 3 weeks." Loki said, annoyance in his voice, but there was something else that Tony picked up on, sadness and pain, though it was clear he was trying to hide it.
Loki was feeling pain and sadness and honestly just wanted break down and cry but he tried to resist that and act as though he was fine. He didn't want to show emotions around someone else, particularly Tony, one of the people who had stopped him from getting his revenge and taking over Midgard. Not only did he not want to appear weak but he also just really didn't want to talk about it and if he had to, like the drinking, he wouldn't say much about it. For example he said he hadn't had a proper drink in 3 week what he really meant was he was giving about half a glass of filthy disgusting water every other day, that is as long as the guards could be bothered to even give him it. Though Loki presumed they were under orders to keep him alive.
"Hellooo, Midgard to Loki, wake upppp!" Loki must have zoned out for a minute as he just noticed Tony stood at the bottom of his bed almost shouting and waving his hand in front of Loki's face. "What?" Loki asked shaking his head a little but it made him dizzy so he quickly stopped. Tony tutted and rolled his eyes "I said what happened to you anyway? I mean you were pretty bad when I found you." This was the exact question he didn't want to think about "Well firstly I didn't even ask for your help when you found me a second, that's none of your concern morta-" He was going to say mortal but stopped in his tracks as a memory hit him, it was when he first got back to Asgard and was brought before the all Farther. He was stripped of his magic and his immortality.
Tony saw Loki's face drop as he looked down at his bed sheets, "Well if you didn't ask for help and don't want my help why don't you just magic your way out Merlin?" Tony said sarcastically. This made Loki look to the left and his face go bright red with embarrassment "What? Your all powerful and stuff why don't you just leave?" Tony continued. The more Tony talked the more Loki thought about it, tears threatened his eyes and although he tried to hide it, Tony could see. Tony wasn't an idiot, in fact he was a complete genius so it didn't take him long to put to and to together "You don't have your magic any more do you?" Tony said quietly, Loki shook his head a silent tear running down one of his cheeks "Oh… I'm sorry I didn't know…" Tony said awkwardly, he wanted to comfort Loki but since basically a month ago they were trying to kill each other, it didn't feel right to do it. Even so, Tony didn't know how he was never good with emotions and kept them bottled up. Tony knew this was how Loki preferred it as well so if Tony could see him like this he knew this must be really hard for Loki to use his magic. Tony guessed it was because Loki wasn't strong, well he was strong but not warrior fighting type, magic was most likely his only way of defending himself well that and his "silver tongue" but since waking up he didn't appear to be very talkative either. "Umm hey how about we get some breakfast!" Tony said trying to get off the subject and bring a better (and tastier) subject into the conversation.
