Tony hit Logan right in the back, causing him to almost fall forward onto Kagome. He groaned in pain as Kagome tried to hold him up; Steve rushed over to help Logan while Thor grabbed hold of Tony, holding him securely. Hulk just stood there watching the drama.
Logan had a gaping hole in his back down to his adamantium skeleton. Steve held Logan tightly and slowly eased him down on the ground; he turned to Tony.
"Are you crazy, Stark?!"
"HE DEFILED MY DAUGHTER!" Tony screamed.
"NO, HE DIDN'T; HE ASKED ME TO MARRY HIM!" Kagome screamed back.
"I don't care, wait, he did what?"
"I asked your daughter to marry me, Stark," Logan said as he stood up.
"Logan, you're hurt. Stay down," Steve tells him.
"Nah, Cap, I'm good."
Logan turns around so they can see that the hole has already healed without leaving a scar. Thor, Tony, and Steve stared at him, mouths hanging open. Hulk didn't care.
"What kind of devilry is this? A wound like that should have killed you," Thor said.
"I've had worse than that, Mack; that was nothing."
Tony looked at Logan, "You're a mutant."
"Yeah, so's your daughter, Bub, got a problem with that?"
Then it clicked in Tony's head, "You're from Xavier's school; I remember you, Porcupine. Oh my god, my daughter is dating her teacher."
"Logan was never my teacher, Dad," Kagome tells him.
"Ah, Ha! But you were dating while you were at school!"
"Friends, your domestic dispute should be put on hold now. We still need to deal with Loki." Thor reminds them.
"Thor's right; you three can hash this out later; Loki is the priority," Steve said.
Tony glared at Logan, "Fine. But this is not over, Porcupine."
"Whatever you say, Tin Man," Logan answered.
Kagome glared at Logan, *Don't antagonize him,* Kagome told her Fiancee telepathically.
Logan looked down at Kagome and winked; *that* *wouldn't be fun.*
As they walked toward Stark Tower, Kagome, and Logan fell behind a little bit, and Kagome explained to Logan about Loki. When they got to the elevator, Logan was pissed about Loki trying to control Kagome and force her to become his priestess. The minute the doors opened, Logan rushed out before the other Avengers. He made a b-line for Loki and picked him up by the throat, "How dare you try to take Kagome against her will!" Logan yelled.
Loki smirked, "And what are you going to do about it, mortal?"
Logan unsheathed his claws, "Plenty, fucker! And I ain't mortal, Bub."
Logan was about to slam his claws into Loki's throat when he suddenly froze; Kagome had frozen him in place, "Logan, don't!" Kagome yelled.
Kagome walked towards Logan and Loki, with everyone protesting, especially Tony. She looked into his eyes and frowned, "So much pain and anger."
As she stared at Loki, Kagome noticed, "Thor, what color are Loki's eyes?"
Thor looked at Kagome, confused, "They are green. Why do you ask?"
"Because Loki's eyes are an unnatural blue."
Everyone leaned forward to get a better look. Suddenly Clint gasped, "They were like mine when he controlled me."
Loki laughed, "I am a god and a king! No one can control me."
Kagome sighed, "I beg to differ, Loki," With that, Kagome placed her hands on Loki's cheeks and pushed her priestess powers into him.
Loki tried to get away, but Kagome had frozen him in place. He tried to protest but couldn't. A soothing pink light surrounded Loki, and he gasped. Kagome released him from her hold, and Loki stumbled back, but Thor caught his brother. He blinked and looked at Thor, "Brother? What happened? Where are we?"
Thor and the others looked at Loki in shock, "Brother; you do not remember what happened?"
Loki shook his head, "I remember letting go and falling into the abyss. I have no memory of what happened afterward."
Clint scoffed, "You guys are falling for this bullshit, are you?"
Kagome turned and glared at Clint. She walked toward him, Clint tried to back away, but Kagome smirked and froze him in place. Natasha pointed her gun at Kagome; instantly, Logan moved between her and Kagome, "Try it, Red, and I'll take that pretty little head off your shoulders," Logan told her in a deadly voice, unsheathing his claws.
Tony stared at Logan, impressed that he was so protective of his daughter. He didn't say anything, only watched his daughter place her hands on either side of Clint's head. Clint screamed when the visions bombarded him that Kagome showed him. He saw how Loki was locked away and tortured until he was only a shell of his former self. And that's when a creature took over Loki's mind and made him a puppet.
Kagome removed her hands, and Clint looked at her wide-eyed, "What did you do to me?"
"I showed you Loki's repressed memories," Kagome answered.
Clint looked at everyone, "Oh my God, it's true; that scepter was controlling Loki."
"If that's true, Loki can't be held responsible for his actions, though he will have to answer for the destruction he caused," Fury said as he walked further into the room.
"You heard everything, One Eye?" Tony asked.
"Of course I did," Fury answered.
Thor beamed at Kagome and walked toward her after he set Loki on the sofa. Before getting closer to her, Logan stepped in between his fiancee and the god and growled, "That's close enough, Bub."
Thor held his hands up in surrender, "I only want to thank the Priestess for giving my brother back to me."
Kagome peered around Logan and smiled, "You're welcome, Thor."
"Alright, that was a touching moment, but who's going to clean up this mess?" Tony asked.
Thor looked at Tony and smiled, "I will talk to the All-Father. I am certain he will take care of everything. After all, that is the least he could do to get Loki back and for the devastation he has caused."
Fury nodded. He was convinced that would satisfy the World Council. Fury had no intention of letting them get their hands on the Tesseract or Loki's scepter. That was only asking for trouble. Fury explained to Thor that Loki would have to be taken into custody, and Loki agreed; Loki knew that he deserved it even if he wasn't in control. Thor, Fury, and SHIELD members led Loki out of Stark Tower in handcuffs.
Once they were gone, Tony clapped, "Well, we did a great job today. I think it's time for a treat. Shwarma, anyone?"
**Sir, you and Miss Kagome can go,** JARVIS informed Tony.
"Why not?" Tony asked.
**If you recall, Mrs. Stark and Mr. Souta are in the panic room, and I'm sure they would like to get out.**
Tony facepalmed, "Shit! I can't believe I forgot about my wife and son! How is Nodoka, JARVIS?"
**Impatient and angry with you and Kagome.**
Tony and Kagome looked at each other and swallowed hard. They would rather take on the Chitauri again than face the wrath of Nodoka Stark. Logan noticed the identical look on father and daughter and started to laugh.
**Mr. Howlett and Mrs. Stark want to speak to you as well. She is not pleased with you either.**
Logan cursed, and Tony smirked; then it dawned on him, "Wait, my wife, knew about you and Porcupine, Kagome?"
Kagome nervously giggled, "Um, yes?"
Tony glared at his daughter, "Is that a question or a statement?"
"I love you, Daddy," Kagome answered instead.
"Yeah, that won't work this time, Baby Girl. Since we're all in trouble, we might as well go downstairs together and get the yelling over. Come on, you two," Tony said, and the trio walked towards the elevator.
