Sorry for the hiatus. Had a horrible writer's block, but my updates should be a bit more regular from now on. Enjoy.
Tony woke on a gurney, a moving one at that; not exactly his choice of bed, but since he was strapped to it, he had no choice but to just lie there and hope his destination wasn't one anywhere near the king. Naturally, he was pushed into the throne room and his eyes met the king's eager ones, although couldn't figure out what exactly Loki could be eager about. The straps on the gurney were removed from around his reddened wrists and ankles, and it finally hit Tony what had been wrong. There was a reason why he was on a gurney and in fact, on the sheet below his head, there were slight stains of red. He opened his mouth to speak, but no sound came out, and after a few panicky moments of clearing his throat out, he was finally able to speak. "What the fuck did you do to me?" In mere milliseconds, a shock of pure, unbridled energy struck his weakened body, making it slump back down on the gurney.
A smile crossed the god's face, the sort of smile you wouldn't want to see if you were basically in as helpless a state as Stark was. Loki removed his finger from the small button, toning the strength of the electricity down so that he didn't outright kill the poor creature. "Just a minor operation that most humans should be getting quite soon. As you might know, you're a...rambunctious little fellow and in my throne room and in fact, in my care, it would not do for me to have a pet that has absolutely no semblance of decorum or idea of how to behave according to his currently low status. So, a few of your fellow humans suggested that a behavioural modification chip in your system would do you good and I must say, I'm impressed." The king had by this time stood up and walked over to the man, effortlessly turning him onto his side and running a hand along his neck where there was a fresh little wound with stitches that would eventually melt into Stark's skin.
"I've been told this chip, controlled by electricity of course, has the ability to heat up your body to make you sweat, and if I were to electrocute you then, imagine how much your poor little body would fry? Hopefully I will not have to go to such lengths." If need be, he would silence Tony with his magic. "Now stand up and go to your cage, pet. Don't make me say it twice." Loki waved the remote almost playfully before returning to his throne.
It took the man a good few tries to get back up into a sitting position, but his body didn't stop shaking from the aftershocks of the electricity. He shot a glare at the pale god but after a finger was lightly placed on a stereotypically red button, he kept his gaze down and shuffled into the small enclosure, closing the door and curling up. Tony let out a slight groan when he noticed his reactor flickering warningly; he couldn't afford to misbehave, not when Loki could kill him.
"See? That was not so hard, was it, Stark?" The god crooned, smiling once again. Perhaps training wouldn't be as hard as he thought it would be. The two of them spent the rest of the day in silence, Loki flicking through a book and Tony drifting in and out of sleep. Loki finally broke the silence by getting up and strolling over to the creature, crouching down next to the locked door with almost kind smile on his face. "Once you learn to behave, Stark, I might allow you to see your former friends, wouldn't that be nice?" With that, a small leather collar appeared right out of thin air and wrapped itself around the man's neck, a circle of metal noting that he was Stark appearing just as quickly. Loki moved back and opened the cage, grabbing a hold of Tony's collar and lifting him to his full height. "However, in the meantime, you need to prove how obedient you are which is why we now have a little work to do. I do hope you prefer an appropriately king-sized bed to a gurney, pet." He tugged Tony quickly before almost dragging out of the room, his bedroom being his next stop.
