Onto the story!
Loki sat by Tony's bed, lost in his own thoughts. The last two weeks had been...stressful to say the least. Thanos was beginning to make plans to invade Earth and he managed to kill the man who tried to kill Tony. However, he didn't know who put the man up to it and his pet could potentially be used against him in the upcoming war for Earth.
"This is becoming a pain to manage," he muttered as he stroked Tony's head, "But don't worry pet. No one will hurt you. I promise".
Loki - 13 Days Ago
"Machine creation!" Loki called out. He was lying on the sofa throwing a 'tennis ball' (as Tony referred to it) up in the air and catching it.
"Yes Mr Loki," JARVIS replied.
"How long does it take for humans to heal?" the God questioned.
"It depends on the wounds sir. Mr Stark's wounds could take several months for him to fully heal," the computer answered.
Loki's eyes widened, "Months? I knew you humans were feeble but that's a whole new level of pathetic".
"Mr Loki...excuse me for asking but can't you speed up the process?" JARVIS asked.
"I can...but healing magic was never really my strong point," Loki admitted, "I'll do more research before I even attempt to heal his injuries".
"Understandable Mr Loki," JARVIS paused, "Can I help in any way?".
Loki scoffed, "Unless you can read ancient Asgardian text then no".
"That may be so Mr Loki but if you upload the alphabet of the language onto my system, then I can translate the scriptures into English. It may take a few hours but I have no doubt that it will make it easier for you to read".
The God clicked his fingers and several books appeared in his arms, "Ancient Asgardian text has no alphabet. It is unlike any language you would encounter on Earth. So...machine built by my pet, you're services are not needed". Loki placed the pile of books onto the coffee table and made himself comfortable.
"Now if you excuse me," Loki picked up a thick book, "I have some reading to do".
6 HOURS LATER
"I hate reading," Loki muttered as he rubbed his eyes.
"Did you find anything Mr Loki?" JARVIS asked.
Loki sighed, "Yes but I need to use very ancient magic...and I can tell it is going to give me what you humans call a headache".
"But it will help the Master heal faster?".
"If performed correctly then yes," Loki replied.
"...what happens if something goes wrong?" the computer asked.
Loki didn't reply for a few seconds, "He could implode".
"Im-Implode Mr Loki?" JARVIS uncharacteristically stuttered.
"Like I said...ancient magic. When things go wrong, things go very wrong," Loki explained, "That's why I need to practice".
"But sir, how can you practice?".
"I can practice by-," Loki's hologram suddenly vanished.
"Mr Loki?".
Loki's eyes snapped opened. He quickly stood up and spun around to stare at the chitauri solider that disturbed him, "What?".
"Master Thanos requests your presence," the solider said before he walked off.
Loki cursed under his breath as he clicked his fingers and followed the alien. He was led through the rocky terrain and up several marble like stairs. The air was thick with purple smoke and the atmosphere was dense. If Loki had been human, he would have struggled to breathe.
"You wanted to see me Thanos," Loki said as he saw the purple titan. The titan was mediating on a gigantic stone throne.
"I am curious to hear what you have been doing," Thanos slowly opened his eyes.
Loki chuckled, "I have been preparing for the upcoming war".
"Don't play me as if I am a fool Loki of Asgard," Thanos' voice boomed out, "I see everything. I see you projecting yourself into that sliver pond".
"In order to gain information," Loki smirked, "If I am to take over Earth and rule it, I need to know everything about it".
Thanos relaxed back into his throne, "And that flesh bag you are spending so much time with?".
Loki's eyes widened slightly in shock and his body tensed but he quickly regained control of himself and chuckled, "A reliable source of information".
"Tell me, do all Asgardians treat their 'sources' like you?" Thanos asked in a monotone voice.
Loki knew he was trending dangerously. Thanos was not someone you messed with. He managed to pull the corner of his lips in a smirk as he's mind starting weaving a lie, "Asgardian's are Gods. I admit, many of us get a kick out of controlling a weaker species...myself included. We are predators. We toy with our prey and wrap them in a web of lies until they has lost their grip on reality or we get bored of them".
Thanos didn't reply. Loki could feel sweat starting to develop on the back of his neck. There was some truth to his lie but not enough for him to pass it off as a white lie.
"You're race is arrogant and that will be its downfall," Thanos finally said, "I do not care what you do in your free time but as long as you for fill your promise then I could care less".
Loki let out a breath that he didn't even know he was holding, "You have my word that it will be done".
"Good, the chitauri will be under command. However, if you fail...I'll make you wish you had never be born. I will make you wish for death, crave for death, yearn for death. Do you understand Loki of Asgard?" Thanos crossed his arms in front of his chest and his gaze never leaving Loki.
"Of course," Loki chuckled before swiftly bowing and headed towards the silver pond. The crowd of chitauri that had gathered around quickly made a path for the green eyed God and bowed their heads in a sign of respect as he passed. Loki ignored them, his mind now focused on his injured pet.
Loki walked through Tony's new full length mirror. The God had generosity 'bought' it for him and had it delivered to his apartment. It made travelling between the worlds a lot easier. While he was able to project his face through a reflective object, his holograph had to travel through mirrors. Mirrors acted like a portal between the two worlds, it was a pathway between Earth and the silver pond.
"A portal which I won't be able to use as much shortly," Loki muttered to himself as he walked into Tony's bed. His beloved pet was snoring softly as he was still under the influence of the God's spell. Loki placed his hand on Tony's cheek before he lent down and kissed his forehead.
"Lo...ki," Tony muttered as he rolled onto his side, causing Loki to withdraw his hand. Loki felt his chest tighten.
"What?" he asked in confusion as he drew his gaze to his chest and placed a hand on it. The feeling remained in his chest for several moments before it disappeared.
Loki slowly looked at Tony, "What are you doing to me?".
"Mr Loki you're back!" JARVIS' voice echoed through the room.
"Be quiet you human creation," Loki hissed, "You'll wake my dear pet".
"Forgive me Mr Loki," JARVIS replied. The God kissed Tony's forehead once more before he left the room.
"Mr Loki, may I ask where you were? You were in the middle of a conversation before you suddenly disappeared. Was there an issue with your holograph? Master Stark has been doing some research into how holographs work but there isn't a lot of information about them," JARVIS paused for a moment, "Oh dear...I don't think I was meant to tell you that".
Loki raised an eyebrow, "Why would my pet be researching about holographs?".
"Forgive me Mr Loki but I'm not allowed to tell you why," JARVIS replied.
Loki scoffed, "Don't make me reprogram you. The God you praise told me how to do".
"God? Which religion sir? Christianity, Muslim, Hindu-," JARVIS was swiftly cut off.
"No you foolish machine. The God known as Google. It was very informative," Loki smirked.
JARVIS didn't reply for a moment, "The internet search engine sir?".
Loki rolled his eyes, "Of course not. I'm talking about the God that knows everything".
"Of course sir. How foolish of me," JARVIS answered. The machine decided to just let the God think what he wanted. Loki was very stubborn and JARVIS doubted that he would change his view of what Google was.
Tony - 13 days ago (still under Loki's spell)
"Oh Mr Stark this is a wonderful party!" an elderly woman smiled.
"Thank you Mrs Greenbury. You look lovely as always," Tony kissed the back of her hand.
The woman's face started turning red, "Oh hush you play boy. You're making me blush".
Tony smiled, "Glad to hear Mrs Greenbury. I'll see you later tonight". Mrs Greenbury nodded and walked away. Tony sighed and scratched the back of his head. It was another one of his company's charity balls. The venture was at fancy hotel and the room was decorated with the typical Iron man colours. Tony pulled out his mobile and dialled Pepper's number.
"Hello?".
"Pepper my dear. When are you arriving?".
"20 minutes Tony. You can survive until then," she answered before she hung up.
Tony sighed and put his mobile away, "It's official. I am going to die of boredom".
"I hope not handsome," a voice said behind him. Tony whipped around and his eyes widened slightly. Standing there was a young woman wearing a very revealing bright green dress. She had long black hair, pale skin, green eyes and a very big bust.
"Now who are you sweetie?" Tony picked up her hand and kissed her knuckles, "I assume you already know who I am".
The woman winked at him, "Follow me handsome". She started walking towards the men's bathroom and a grin appeared on Tony's face as he quickly followed her.
Once they were in the bathroom, the woman spun around and grabbed Tony's tie. She pulled him towards her and their lips crushed in a burst of passion. Tony wrapped his arms around her waist and he moaned into the kiss when she pushed him against one of the basins. The two continued to make out before they had to pull away due to the lack of air.
"Wow," Tony muttered.
"I know," the woman whispered as she started nibbling on his jaw line. She ran her hands up and down Tony's chest before they snaked into his shirt and started tracing the lines on his arc reactor.
Tony quickly grabbed her hands, "Sorry princess but no touchy".
"Don't be like that Tony. I know you want it," the woman purred, "I know you want me to play with that beautiful arc reactor in your chest".
"Who are you?" Tony hissed as he pushed her way and stepped away from the sink.
The woman stumbled back before she smirked and placed her hand on her hip, "Oh Tony, I'm hurt that you don't know me".
"Know you? Trust me sweetie, I would remember someone like you," Tony wiped his lips with the back of his hand. The woman slowly strolled towards Tony and wrapped her arms around his neck. She placed her hand on his chest and used her free hand to grab the back of his head before she pushed him into the sink.
"Think real hard," she whispered into his ear.
"I don't hit women but I'm starting to think of making an exception," Tony groaned.
"Tony, Tony, Tony," her hand trailed downwards and cupped his groin.
Tony's eyes widened, "Woah! Easy tiger!".
"Tiger? No my dear," the woman placed her hands on Tony's cheeks and her appearance sudden changed. Her long hair started to shrink and the green dress turned into a black suit with a green shirt and tie. Her long nails slowly shrunk as well and her overall body structure became more masculine.
"You have got to me kidding," Tony whispered in disbelief.
"You don't call me tiger my sweet pet...you call me master," Loki smirked.
So there may be a few mistakes. I haven't chosen a beta reader yet because I've been so busy lately (just finished school and I have 3 jobs). However, I am now starting to manage my time better so I will be update more frequency and select a beta reader :3
On another note, I am trying to make the chapters longer (a min of 2000 words).
Next chapter: Monday or Tuesday
