So, here is chapter 15. 8D
Everyone; Sorry, I'm really not good at writing grief (well, i guess you would call if grief). However, if enough of you say in the reviews that you would like to see a more...violent reaction to Odin, I will re-write that part of the chapter. So, make sure to put something about that if you would like to see a change. *It will not be a change in the plot line, just the details.*
I do not own any characters.
Two days after the team had returned from Asgard, the mood in the tower was still downcast. Thor hadn't been seen since the day they had returned.
Tony stood in the kitchen, bottle of scotch in hand, he'd rarely put it down since they got back. He wasn't good with emotions and he didn't feel like dealing with them now so he would push them back and blur them with the burn of alcohol. Tony turned his attention to the elevator when the doors whooshed open, revealing Thor.
"Hey Point Break, nice to see you out of your room," Tony said, his voice slurring a bit.
Thor glanced at him and nodded before sitting at the island counter.
"Want something to eat?" Tony either didn't see that Thor didn't want to talk or otherwise didn't care.
Thor shook his head.
He set his bottle down and watched Thor closely for a minute, he seemed to be deep in thought. "What's on your mind?"
"I thought maybe...Maybe you and Banner could try and find some way to get him back," Thor said quietly.
Tony sighed. He was a man of science and mechanics, not magic and what Thor was asking was definitely a bit out of his reach but he couldn't tell Thor that. Thinking it over, he also realized he had nothing else to work on. He shrugged. "We can try but I can't guarantee anything."
Thor gave a small smile. "Thank you though."
Tony nodded and walked out of the room. "Jarvis, tell Bruce to meet me in the lab."
"Of course sir," Jarvis replied as Tony walked into the elevator. The ride down was silent and only a few minutes later, Tony stood outside of the lab's door, waiting on Bruce.
"Hey Tony," Bruce said as he walked around the corner from the elevator. "What is it?"
Tony turned and walked into the lab, Bruce following him in. "I want to see if there is any way possible that we could try and replicate something similar to the tesseract. Thor asked if we could try and find some way to get Loki back."
Bruce sighed and walked over to one of the screens. "And how are we supposed to do this? Where do we even start?"
Tony pulled up some images and statistics on one of the screens. "I guess with energy readings and things from the tesseract."
Bruce nodded. "Let's get started then."
Loki sat curled up in the corner of the cell, blood coating the floor beneath him. The wounds on his back hadn't healed all the way due to the constant abuse. He flinched back, pulling further into the corner when he heard footsteps coming. Soon, a few Chitauri walked in and they grabbed the shackles holding his wrists. He cringed away but knew better than to struggle against them. They quickly brought him into the larger throne area where Thanos sat waiting. Loki swallowed in fear and pulled back against the Chitauri. They only pulled harder though and he was quickly chained to the ground infront of Thanos.
Thanos smiled and stroked the blade of a large knife in his hands. "Ahh, my pet. I need you...incapacitated for a while," Thanos chuckled, walking down to stand infront of him causing Loki to gulp and flinch back. The titan smiled and looked at the blade in his hand for a moment, the violet colored liquid dripping from it, before plunging it through Loki's right shoulder.
Loki whimpered in pain, the blade thrust to the hilt into his shoulder. He felt the warm trail of blood trailing down his chest and his back. Thanos twisted the blade, eliciting a short scream of pain, before pulling it out. Seconds later, Loki's arm and chest burned as the poison trailed through his bloodstream. A sudden burst of fire erupted as the poison reached his heart. Loki screamed again and writhed in agony. Thanos grin widened before he nodded to the Chitauri soldiers. "Place him back in the cell."
The Chitauri grabbed him, barely keeping a hold of him as he writhed in pain. As they dragged him from the room, Loki heard one last order from Thanos.
"Prepare for war."
The words had barely registered in Loki's mind before his head exploded in pain as the poison reached his brain. He shuddered and barely noticed as he hit the floor of his cell. Loki only laid there writhing in agony as the poison coursed through his body.
"Loki, there you are."
Loki looked up at the sound of Tony's voice. "T-Tony?" Loki gasped out.
Tony laughed and crouched over him. "You're such a pathetic excuse for a Jotun, even more so for an Asgardian. I don't even know how Thor can stand to call you his brother. "
"B-but," Loki gasped out, tears piling up in his eyes.
Tony morphed into an image of Bruce. Bruce's eyes were green as he crouched over him. "I wish the Hulk would have killed you when he had the chance. It would have saved us the problem of having to deal with you. All you are is an unfortunate burden, a worthless mistake on Odin's part."
Seconds later, the image of Bruce turned into one of Thor. "Brother please." Loki gasped out.
"I am not your brother," Thor sneered. "I regret every time I called you my brother, every moment I had to spend with you was a waste of my time. I can't believe father that you could be of any use. You'd barely do good as a doormat, I could find better things to wipe my feet on."
For minutes, hours, or days, Loki couldn't tell, the images played through his mind; taking on the forms of everyone in the team and even Odin and Frigga. He knew in some part of his mind that the images weren't real, that they were just an effect of the poison in his body but it didn't keep him from believing them, from believing he was nothing more than a worthless monster.
Odin sat in the throne room, his spear Gungnir in his hand. Immediately after Thor and the Midgardians had left, Odin had bumped up the amount of guards around Asgard. He also had the soldiers and warriors prepare for the worst. He didn't trust Thanos in the slightest but he had wished to prolong the amount of time he had before the realms were launched into another war. Of course, they had beat Thanos once before, surely it could be done again, even if he now had the forces of the Chitauri. Of course, Asgard and Midgard also had Thor now and the Midgardian Avengers. If Thanos dared to kill Loki, Odin would start the war himself.
So...who can't wait for chapter 16? XD
It'll be out soon, I promise. My friend got me caught up in a Loki/OC RP. XD
