AN: I decided that I would do some more on this story. I forgot to mention this in the first chapter, but I don't own anything. Except for my ideas. Hope you enjoy this chapter! I won't be able to post new chapters over the week so you will have to wait until Saturday to get another chapter. Larr-out!
Well Tony wasn't having a very good day. First he had woken up from a nightmare (that involved the God he was currently getting ready to fight), then he had slammed his head into a wall while looking for food, and now he was going to try and capture a God that had thrown him out of his own tower. Loki had thrown him out a window! He almost died!
Now he had to go get Loki. Hopefully Thor could help them capture his brother. If not then that would be bad. Thor could be really overprotective…even if the person he is protecting is practically a confirmed psychopath. Well for right now all Tony had to worry about was suiting up.
Taking a look outside, Tony realized that it was actually pretty clear. It would've been a good night for flying. He still got to fly, but not the flying that he wanted.
"Sir, the other Avengers are wondering when you will be done getting ready. They want to leave as soon as possible on this mission. I have tried contacting Mr. Odinson but he is not responding." JARVIS smoothly interrupted.
"Ok, thanks JARVIS" Hurrying to get his suit on now Tony responded. He knew that if you let the Black Widow or Hawkeye get impatient then you could get very hurt. Even if you are allies with them. As soon as he got his suit on he ran/flew up the stairs to where the other Avengers were. Where he promptly ran into another wall.
"Why does the universe hate me? What did I do to it?" Tony asked the ceiling dazedly. After a few seconds an arm reached over to help him up.
"Thanks Stripey. Is everyone ready to go? Yes? Ok! Let's do this! Geronimo!" With that Tony's faceplate came down and he blasted off into the air. While he was hovering the rest of the Avengers (Natasha, Clint, Bruce, and Steve) climbed into the quinjet. As the quinjet started taking off, Tony flew (read: made loop-de-loops) next to it. He kept chattering inside his suit which was then transmitted into the jet, until Natasha told him in no uncertain terms that she would kill him slowly and painfully if he didn't be quiet.
They were approaching the area that Shield had said was where Thor was. As the quinjet landed the Avengers were starting to get a little scared. Naturally they would totally deny it if anyone said so. Unconsciously they all started to bunch together while walking through the woods.
The woods were cold, dark, and very creepy. All of the shadows looked like people, so they would flinch away from all the shadows. Not even Tony was cracking jokes. When the Avengers had been walking for about 15 minutes they finally came to a clearing. Inside the clearing they could see a lump on the ground and another that was leaning over it.
Fearing the worse, that Thor had been incapacitated, they slowly crept forward. When they got close enough though they realized that it was Thor leaning over his brother. They all stopped relieved. Tony started forward while saying;
"Hey Thor! You had us worried for a second there! Here I thought that you had no idea he escaped an-"
"He didn't escape." The effect that this sentence had on the Avengers was phenomenal. Tony had stopped abruptly while the rest of the Avengers just stared at Thor in shock. Thor in turn had slowly stood up so that he was in between the Avengers and his brother.
"Um…What do you mean he didn't escape?" Tony asked while backing away nervously.
"I helped him escape. I had to get him away from Asgard and the Chitauri." After Thor had said that he got out his hammer and said "Just leave him here. Go away and leave him alone."
"Now Thor we can't really do that. Director Fury said we have to take him in." Natasha said respectfully while motioning to Clint behind her back. She slowly walked toward Thor while acting like he was some kind of wild animal that needed taming. Behind her Clint was slowly circling around Thor.
"No you don't understand! He needs to heal! Shield won't let him. They will run tests on him. I-I can't allow that. Son of Barton, please stop moving around me. I am sorry Natasha but if you continue to move forward then I will be forced to attack you." Thor was now pleading with them to leave Loki alone, but Natasha stayed resolute.
"I am so sorry Thor. I will try to see that Loki doesn't get hurt too bad. Please forgive me." Right after she finished talking she darted forward, with a taser. Which she then used against Thor to knock him out. While Bruce, Tony, and Steve all stared at her in shock, Clint was calling in their coordinates to Shield. As the quinjet came everyone moved to let it land.
Once it had landed they didn't know what to do. Eventually they carried Thor on board and made him comfortable. After that the pilot (Agent Coulson) gave them some special handcuffs for Loki.
"They block his magic. So that if he wakes up then we can be prepared." With Tony's nod, Coulson gave them to Tony. While Tony and Steve went to get Loki, Natasha and Clint focused on waking up Thor without endangering the whole state of New York. Bruce was just in the corner trying to keep the calm and not turn into a giant, green, rage monster.
When Tony and Steve reached Loki they focused on getting the handcuffs on him. When they flipped him over though they both winced. Loki was beat up really bad. He looked like he'd been tortured for at least five years. Straight. Without any breaks for healing. His lips were also sewn shut with a really big thread. No one could say that he deserved all of this. All of Loki's armor/clothes were ripped into shreds.
When Tony and Steve got into the light they winced again because Loki looked even worse than he did in the snow. Fortunately they knew about his Frost Giant heritage so they didn't get major frostbite while carrying him into the jet. They set him down carefully and then went to go see how Thor was doing.
Thor by this time had woken up and was clamoring to see his brother. When he saw the handcuffs he demanded instantly that they were taken off of Loki. No one was willing to take that risk though so they didn't say anything to him. Loki started randomly thrashing around and Thor asked if the handcuffs were blocking his magic. When Tony said yes they were, Thor yelled that his magic was the only thing keeping him alive. Thor then begged Tony to take off the handcuffs.
After Tony had a mental battle with himself that lasted about three seconds he agreed and got the key. Tony then unlocked the handcuffs and Thor breathed a huge sigh of relief.
"Thank you man of Iron, you just saved my brother's life." Thor then noticed Loki was still stirring and kneeled down to see if he could help calm his brother down.
