Doom used his magic to lift the bed up and flung it to the side of the room. Loki continues to stare at him, now shivering in fear.
"Now what do I have here?" Doom said.
Doom grabs him by the shirt and start analysing him.
"Hmmm, these are definitely new." Doom said, pocking at the black cat ears which are drooping down and the tail which is twitching in fear, making Loki squeal in fear.
"How should I punish you for the things you done to me last time? Should I just strangle you? Burn you to death?" Doom asked eyes dark with anger.
"Or better yet, tortured you to a very slow, excruciating death?" Doom grinning, imaging all the scream of fear and terror Loki can show during the torture.
Loki just continues to look at him in shock, trembling in fear and wish that someone could at least save him from this scary man.
~oOo~
"CAN'T THIS BLASTED MACHINE GO FASTER!" Clint cursing and swearing about the helicarrier.
"Well, it is at maximum speed already. We can't push it anymore, you know?" Steve remarked.
"At least Thor and Tony fly ahead first. Hopefully they are fast enough to stop Doom." Natasha said.
"I wish that I have never replied that question." Clint looking guiltily on the floor as he continues to fly the helicarrier.
"There is nothing we can do about it for now. Let's just hope for the best and prepare for the worst." Bruce said softly (back in normal person size), giving Clint a pat on the shoulder.
~oOo~
Thor and Tony reach the Stark Tower and now start to discuss the plan of ambushing Doom.
"So you, Thor, will wait outside in case Doom decided to throw your brother out of the window and because you are faster in reaction, you will stay put outside." Tony said.
"Why I can't go in like you, to save MY brother?" Thor said, grumbling in anger.
"That is because you will just smash MY window AGAIN and it WILL attract Doom's attention. He will definitely teleport away and probably we will not be able to EVER see Loki again." Tony sighed in exasperation.
"Fine! I will do it!" Thor said, swinging his hammer in battle stance.
"Then I am going in now. Remember to STAY PUT. If anything happens, please come to help." Tony said, preparing to use an open window to get in quietly.
~oOo~
Doom continues to think of all the most innovative ideas to torture Loki and start to grin maniacally.
This is causing Loki to feel even more scared, making him meow in fear and try to kick Doom out of the grasp of his shirt.
Doom frown in annoyance as his train of thoughts interrupted; start to shake Loki like a rag doll to stop him from kicking.
Loki starts to squeak louder and struggle even more. Doom begins to feel irritated and started to search his pocket with his other free hand for something.
Loki starts to cry in fear. Tears are streaming down his cheek continuously and he starts to tremble in fear.
Doom found the object he wanted in his pocket and pull it out to be revealed as a syringe with a clear liquid in it.
Then Doom injected it into Loki's neck and Loki fell into a bliss sleep from all the fears and terrors of reality.
Doom then put Loki onto his shoulder and continues to ponder of what to do with Loki.
~oOo~
Tony enters the Stark Tower and silently asked Jarvis to identify which storey Loki is at. Jarvis is unresponsive so Tony assumed that Doom actually done something to the Tower.
Tony quietly creep up to the place he remember he have last seen Loki, preparing to fight at any moment.
Then he noticed that one of the room when he looked down the corridor seem to be missing a door. Fill with dread, he run as fast as he can to the room.
~oOo~
Finally, the Stark Tower is insight for the other Avengers when they arrived in the helicarrier.
"Quickly move and move. We have not much time left." Steve shouted as the other Avengers scrambled out of the helicarrier.
They spotted Thor still hovering in front of the Tower, who seems to be sulking a lot, causing a few black clouds to gather above at the sky.
The other Avengers quickly enter the Tower and use the elevator.
The moment the elevator door open, all of them rush out and prepare to fight, expecting Doom's robots to attack them.
Noting that there is no sight of Doom's robot around, they stayed in battle stance and cautiously looked around.
Upon hearing the sounds of explosions, they rush to the place where explosions occur.
~oOo~
Tony run to the room and notice that Doom is carrying Loki on the shoulder who seemed to be unconscious.
Tony immediately fired at Doom with missiles. Doom just casually raises a shield to block the missiles.
"Do you really think that firing some tiny weeny missiles at me, can be used to defeat me?" Doom laughed out loud.
"Well, it may not work but I will still keep trying. Now let Loki go." Tony said firmly, preparing to fight.
"Oh, you think that I am going to just take Loki to torture him? Maybe I should just kill him in a slow and agonizing way." Doom said, petting Loki's back.
The other Avengers arrived and tense up upon seeing Doom, carrying Loki by the shoulder.
"You better give Loki back to us now or we will make sure there will be hell to pay!" Tony said angrily.
"You heard the man so return Loki to us!" Clint said, glaring at Doom.
"What a surprise indeed. You are all now protecting a person, yes a person, who last time almost destroy like half the city? And caused a large number of people to die, I believe?" Doom smirked at them.
"He is under our care now so it doesn't matter whatever he is now. He is one of us now." Steve said, trying to have more time to distract Doom while Tony may come up with a plan.
"Ohh, such a touching statement indeed. Maybe I should just killed him now and forget about all that torture for him." Doom raises up his hand with electricity sparks and use the other hand to pull Loki down from his shoulder and hold Loki near to his body.
Tony immediately grab Steve's shield and throw it at Doom, who just simply step aside. The shield crash through the window behind him and fall down. Steve glared at Tony angrily, who just shrug.
"I think your aiming need to be improve, Tony Stark." Doom said smirking.
"I don't think so and if I were you, I will watch out for the danger." Tony motioning the other Avengers to step back.
Doom just ignore the threat and placed the hand with electric sparks to where Loki's heart is.
Loki's body start to convulse uncontrollably before Doom moves his hand away. Doom tossed Loki to the other Avengers like a rag doll. Bruce quickly catches Loki before he hits the floor, immediately start doing treatment for Loki.
"Then I shall see -"
Then Thor who hovered behind Doom with the hammer flickering with lightening and holding Steve's shield interrupted him with a resounding crash through the window(Tony almost feel like tearing out his hair at the sight of his broken window). Thor looked at Loki briefly before glaring at Doom in full rage. Thunder boomed ominously louder than ever.
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY BROTHER!" Thor yelled, swinging the hammer right into Doom's face, causing Doom to crash through the wall.
Thor throw back Steve's shield to Steve and continue to march towards Doom in uncontrollable anger. Doom scrambled onto his feet and barely manages to make a shield before Thor's hammer smash him.
Thor continues to whack the shield with even more aggressiveness and more power with lightening crackling around him. The other Avengers are shocked by the extreme aggressiveness Thor have now, as he is never this aggressive before.
Doom seems to look even more panicked than ever and worried about Thor's wrath, quickly teleport away in fear for his life.
Thor upon realised that Doom managed to escape, roared in anger and thunder boomed outside with a bright lightening.
The other Avengers are unsure about how to calm down Thor and continue watching him. Bruce who is examining Loki, started to note that Loki's breathing seem to be slowing down.
"Tony, can you get some medical staff here? I think Loki is not looking so good." Bruce said, breaking the other Avengers from their daze.
Tony quickly restored the Tower back to normal state and called for the best medical doctor. Clint and Steve slowly walked to Thor after he stopped yelling in anger.
"It's ok, buddy. Loki is going to be alright." Clint reassured him.
"Yeah, so now calm down and get your injuries treated okay? Loki also don't like to see you hurt or injured right?" Steve said.
Thor turned around and looked almost exhausted and guilty.
"How can I be able to get my wounds treated like nothing ever happened when I cannot protect my own brother?" Thor said softly, almost slumping against the wall.
Natasha getting annoyed at Thor started to yell at Thor.
"IF YOU THINK THAT FEELING GUILTY IS GOING TO MAKE THINGS EVEN BETTER, I THINK YOU ARE AN IDIOT! YOU SHOULD STAND UP AND BE A BETTER MAN AND STOP COMPLAINING!" Natasha yelled.
Steve and Clint not expecting the outburst of anger looked at Natasha in shock and Thor looked blankly back at her. Natasha sighed, rubbing her head in an attempt to get rid of an incoming headache and drag Thor to the medical room to get treatment for the battle wounds from earlier on.
~oOo~
"So how is everyone health status?" Fury asked.
"All of us are okay after being patched up but Loki condition doesn't look good." Steve remarked.
"Keep monitoring him then. Any problems just try to fix it." Fury replied.
"Yes, Sire. Goodbye, Sire."
Steve put down the phone and sighed deeply.
He walked into the critical room and watched Loki lying down on the bed with lots of wires attach to him. There is a heart monitoring machine which also make a constant beep sound, making Steve dread if the machine will not make that beep sound to indicate that Loki's alive.
"I hope that he will get better. I miss his laughter and innocent smiles." Tony said, making Steve jumped up in surprise.
"Yeah, me too." Steve said sadly, looking at Loki's still body.
"Will he get better?" Steve asked.
"Well, I don't know. What we can do now is wait."
