Chapter Three

Loki watched his new mate sleep. He missed the jade green eyes that Harry had when he first saw him. His eyes were so beautiful and innocent, now they were emotionless. Loki had made a decision, it would be harder to control him, but Harry was his mate, and as such Loki didn't like controlling him like he did the others; he wasn't a monster. He may have started wanting Harry for his power, but magic pushed him into caring about the person more than the power he held.

Making his decision, he got up and grabbed his staff placing the tip of the spear on Harry's heart once more. He felt his magic and the Tesseract's energy leave Harry's body. Loki sighed when he was finished; Harry was going to hate him when he woke.

Six hours later green eyes fluttered open. Harry sat up and he groaned when the memories of everything that happened hit him all at once. What had he done last night? It was his first time and he didn't even have a choice.

'Or did I?' Harry asked himself. He had wanted it but his mind was so messed up; it was like he was drunk or something. He was sore and didn't want to get up but then he remembered the person who did this to him.

"Loki," he growled angrily. This was his fault!

"I am here," Loki said. There was a minute amount of grief that slipped from his otherwise frosty voice and countenance.

Harry angrily jumped up out of the bed, ignoring the nakedness of his body as he yelled at Loki, "How dare you! You - you are nothing to me," Harry's heart gave jerk at that thought, but he ignored it and continued anyway, "And you did—"Harry blushed, "did that to me. I mean, I've never…"

"Calm down my mate."

Harry screamed in anger, "I'm not your mate!"

"Actually if what I think happened…." Thor coughed, avoiding looking at Harry's body "if it happened, you don't have a choice anymore."

Harry seemed to suddenly realize his nakedness, for some reason in front of Loki he didn't care, but in front of Thor he cared…a lot. And when had Thor gotten there anyway?

Harry grabbed at the silk sheets and pulled them over his body.

Suddenly three more people rushed into the room.

Captain America, and Natasha, once it was realized that Harry was naked, blushed and looked away.

Iron Man only wolf whistled. "Not bad."

Harry blushed and Loki growled about ready to attack when Harry suddenly yelled, "Get the Fuck out! Get out! Get out! Get out!" The walls and floor began to shake and dirt fell from the ceiling as Harry's magic formed into a silver glow around his body.

"Stop him," Thor cried. He had seen Loki lose control of his magic once and it was not fun.

Loki tried to move towards Harry but his magic, recognizing one of the sources of Harry's anger, kept him at bay.

Iron man used his thrusters to blast his way through Harry's chaotic magic to get close. Then he hit him upside the head. Harry fell into metal arms, blissfully unconscious.

Harry slowly struggled to wake and groaned when he saw the woman that had seen him naked.

"I am sorry," Natasha whispered," for what happened to you. You didn't have a choice. I was raped once," she shared, "You never get over it, but you'll be okay, I promise."

Harry tried to keep the tears back but they fell anyway. It had been such a long time since he cried that Harry couldn't exactly remember when it was. "I am apparently tied to him for my entire existence. You aren't, that's the difference."

Natasha looked away and Harry could tell she was upset, "I'm sorry. I am just…just…" The tears blurred his vision and his voice came out in hysterical sobs.

Natasha, feeling bad, wrapped her arms around the small man. "He cares for you. He gave in just so you wouldn't get hurt."

Loki was once again in a cage meant for the Hulk. It was exactly like the one before, except instead of plummeting to their doom you would be gassed instead if any harm came to the glass. There was a small bed attached to the wall, but it had no covers to help warm Loki (not that he would ever lay down in front of his enemies).

"He may be your mate, but he may never accept you Loki. You never gave him a proper choice, Brother," Thor said sadly.

"I know, but he is still mine," Loki retorted angrily.

Thor shook his head. It was hard to believe how much hate his brother could hold for; but at least he seemed to genuinely care for his mate.

"He is young, even by human standards. He will eventually forgive me. That's what soul mates do for one another; not that you would know that, having no mate yourself," Loki mocked trying not to give into the despair of Harry's earlier words.

Thor sighed, why his brother could not see the trouble he was causing he would never know.

"I will escape again, and I will take Harry with me," Loki stated as Thor began walking away.
