The Deepest Longing

Loki looked up from his hunched over position on the floor at his brother and his fellow Avengers. He lost the battle of New York City. The Chituari are defeated and now his brother will use the tesseract to collect him up and take him back to Asgard to face Odin for punishment. Thor brought with him the blueprints for the apparatus to harness the power of the tesseract to send them back to Asgard. It would take several days to make, maybe longer. He knew he would need the assistance of the humans to create the device. Luckily, the man of metal and the big angry green man both have the intellect and the resources to assist him in this. The question now is how does he and his comrades keep Loki from escaping in the mean time?
Loki’s own weapon provides an elegant solution. Using the spear to take control of Loki’s mind, enslaving him until their return to Asgard will take care of any escape attempts. Thor takes the spear from his comrade and touches it to Loki’s chest. Loki’s face displays panic, “Brother No…..” Loki’s voice trails off as his eyes turn a bright glowing shade of blue. “Loki can you hear me?” Thor asks. “Yes Thor.” Loki replies quietly. There is a slight serene and somewhat creepy placid smile on Loki’s face. His eyes look vacant. Hawkeye smiles at this. Good let the son of bitch get a taste of his own medicine. “You are not to make any attempt to escape, is that understood?” Thor booms. “Yes Thor, I will do whatever you wish.”
Tony chimes in. “Oh we are going to have so much fun with this.” Thor looks at him sidelong. “We are not going to use the spear to humiliate my brother. He is my prisoner and will answer for his crimes in Asgard. Until we go home, he is my responsibility.” “Come on Point Break, he did throw me out of a window, my pad is a mess. Where is the harm in having him do some clean-up work in a French maid costume?” Thor gives Tony a hard stare. “Fine have it your way Killjoy. Who’s up for that Schwarma?”
Officials from SHIELD arrive including Nick Fury. Thor hands him the spear with instructions on how to use it. This Schwarma is not the post battle feast he is accustomed to in Asgard, but this has not been a typical battle on any level. Nick Fury wastes no time while Thor is out. Fury spends the time while he is gone interrogating Loki about anything and everything to do with the Chituari, Asgard, the spear, the tesseract, and any other possible looming threats that might be lurking out there in the galaxy. Thor is only gone about an hour and a half and all too quickly, Nick Fury’s interrogation comes to an end. He wishes he’d had more time alone with Loki. God knows there are things Nick would have loved to have done to Loki, make Loki do, while his brother was not watching.
The Avengers, plus Loki, bed down for the night in Stark tower. Stark was able to quickly repair the power outage to the tower and it is the only place in the immediate vicinity that has electricity. The two brothers fall asleep side by side in the same bed. Fury had wanted to put Loki in a cell, but the only cell that had been capable of holding Loki was already destroyed. With Loki’s magic, a simple jail cell would not have sufficed under normal conditions. With the spear, a jail cell was simply not necessary. Thor awakes the next morning in an awkward position. He is spooning Loki. His whole body jumps back and away and he is standing next to the bed in a split second. “I really need to see Jane.” He mumbles to himself.
The sudden movement of the bed awakens Loki. “Good morning brother.” Loki smiles a soft and broad smile at Thor, but his eyes are still vacant. Loki seems so relaxed and weirdly happy in this controlled state. It is unnerving to Thor. “Uh, good morning brother.” Thor stutters. “What can I do today to please my brother?” Loki asks brightly. Thor stares blankly at Loki for a moment, not sure how to answer. “Uh, just follow me around today and try not to cause any trouble.” “As you wish.” Loki says.
Thor looks around the room. He then looks down at himself. He is still covered in the sweat, blood, dirt, and grime of the previous day’s battle. So is Loki. Thor goes to the bathroom and closes the door. Thankfully everything in Stark tower is still working, including the hot water. Thor undresses and steps inside the shower stall. The faucet is strange looking but he figures it out in short order. Thor is just about done bathing himself when he notices a set of emerald eyes staring at him through the frosted shower glass. “AH! Loki what are you doing?” Loki stands there with his placid smile on his face. “I followed you as you commanded. Are you displeased?” “Ah, ah, no. I am finished here. Go ahead and bath yourself and dress when you are done.” Thor sidesteps Loki and grabs a towel to wrap himself in. Thor realizes he is going to have to be very careful about how he words his commands.
Everyone slowly makes their way out of their rooms and gathers in the kitchen. Pepper is already cooking up a large batch of pancakes, bacon, eggs, and coffee when Thor and Loki arrive. They eye Loki for a moment. Everybody still has a rather haggard appearance from the battle the day before. Frankly the Avengers look like someone beat the shit out of them, and that someone is sitting at the counter looking bright eyed and bushy tailed. “Good morning!” Loki greets them. Clint looks at Natasha. “He’s in a rather chipper mood for someone who just lost a big fight.” “It’s my personality, my influence. He is reflecting my demeanor.” Thor says with a smile. “So what is the game plan for today?” Clint says. “I need help building the transport module for the tesseract. Loki and I will need it if we are to make the journey home. I have the design layout here, but will require assistance.”
Thor pulls out the rolled parchment from the leg pocket of his uniform and unfurls it for the group to inspect. Tony and Banner take an immediate interest. “Some of these materials are rare and will need to be special ordered. The rest I already have available in my work shop here in the tower. We can get to work on those parts immediately. The rest will have to wait until the samples arrive.” Tony says. “Excellent. I will assist you today in the building of the module.” “What about Reindeer Games?” Tony asks. “He will follow me everywhere I go so that nothing goes amiss.” Tony doesn’t like the idea of the enemy having access to his personal inner sanctum, but better that than having him wandering around freely, sort of.
The tower is still a mess. There is broken concrete and glass everywhere. Tony cringes. With half of the city evacuated getting a professional clean-up crew to come in was going to be impossible. “Damn. I barely got to enjoy it before ruining it.” Tony says out loud to nobody in particular. Thor says, “I am sorry my friend. I wish I had the ability to put everything back as it was.”
“You do brother.” Loki speaks up. Everyone turns and stares at him. “What do you mean Loki?” Thor asks. With a wave of his hand all the little broken pieces of glass and concrete creep back into their original positions. A shimmering green light fills the room like a mirage and seconds later it is as if the battle never happened. The window is fixed and the spot where the Hulk smashed a Loki shaped hole into the ground has disappeared. There is a collective jaw drop, except for Thor. He should have thought of this. “That’s amazing!” Pepper exclaims. “How long do you think it would take him to rebuild the city?” “I know not. There are limits to Loki’s magic, but I know he could make a significant contribution to repairing the city and putting right what he destroyed.” Thor is hopeful. In making Loki repair the city his punishment might be reduced. Unfortunately, the one thing Loki cannot replace is the people that died during the invasion. The price Loki will have to pay for those losses will be dear.
Tony brightens up at this announcement. Having Thor babysit Reindeer Games during the clean-up of the city will keep both of them out of his lab. Thor is a nice guy, but technologically retarded. He would only get in the way. A couple of days go by. The public was frightened at first when they saw Loki reappear. But when Thor stood by his side and explained that he now had control and was using Loki to help clean up the city, the people of New York relaxed a bit. Though it did not stop the occasional New Yorker from trying to throw a rock at Loki’s head when he was out in public.
On the third day, Thor contacts Jane and sends for her. He is excited. She arranges a flight for the following day. It has been so long since he has seen her. Loki can sleep in the same room with him tonight, but tomorrow night, he will need a new sleeping arrangement.
Another day of city cleanup has exhausted Loki. Today Loki had to remove the entire body of one those flying robot dinosaur Chitauri monsters. It was crushing an entire apartment building, rendering the people that once lived there homeless. It had taken all of Loki’s strength and magic. First lifting the great beast and then incinerating it in mid-air since it was far too large to simply make disappear. He had to do this while simultaneously trying to keep the falling ashes from setting the building below on fire. There are noticeable purple bags under Loki’s eyes now. Three days of heavy magic use are taking their toll on him. When the last of the great beast disintegrates, Loki collapses into Thor’s arms.
Thor carries Loki back to Stark Tower and lays him on the bed for some rest. When Thor later crawls into bed that night Loki is still asleep. Thor drifts off into a heavy slumber and a vibrant dream. Thor dreams of Jane. Soft lips and heavy breathing flutter through his sleeping mind. Beautiful brown hair and brown eyes and full plump breasts make him hard in his sleep. Jane and Thor are showering. Long nimble fingers are ghosting over Thor’s body. He hears Jane moaning his name. Thor is fucking Jane against the wall of the shower. Thor reaches out to pinch one of her nipples. It is flat and hard and sits against a hard flat chest. The lips he is kissing are soft but no longer plump but thin. Jane’s eyes are now an emerald green. Thor pulls back from the kiss to see Loki staring back at him. He is fucking Loki. “Ah Thor! Fuck me! Come inside me!”
Thor eyes burst open and he notices two things. There is a hand down his pants that is not his own and lips caressing his neck that are most definitely not female. Thor flies off the bed. “WHAT ARE YOU DOING!” He screams at Loki. Loki looks up at Thor wantonly. “I am giving you what you want. I can sense your desire for me and wish to please you.” “No Loki, I do NOT desire THAT!” Thor is horrified. Apparently Loki does more than follow simple commands, he anticipates the wants and desires of whomever controls him and acts without orders. This is bad. “Do not ever touch me like that again! Is that understood!?” Thor shouts at Loki. “Yes Thor I understand.” Loki says calmly, neither pleased nor upset.
Thor spends the rest of the night sleeping on the floor. The following morning Thor goes down to Tony’s lab to check on the status of the transport module. The sooner he gets Loki back to Asgard, the better. “How goes the progress my friends?” Thor says to Tony. Bruce looks up from his work station. “We need your input on this section here.” Bruce points to the relays that lead from the tesseract to the machine. “The materials indicated on the blueprint for this don’t appear to be strong enough to hold up to the tesseract, they are frying too quickly. Is there some compound or material we are missing?” Thor looks over the device. In truth he is stumped. “I know not my friends; you have already surpassed my expertise on this matter. I am afraid I am not of much use to you.” “What about Loki, do you think he might know what is wrong with this?” Thor considers his question for a moment. This is an opportunity. Thor needs some space from Loki. Last night’s togetherness was just a step too far for him. Thor needs an excuse to pawn his brother off on someone else for a few days. This would be a good reason. Plus it’ll give him more time with Jane. Yes, Jane. Soft feminine beautiful female girly girl Jane. With Boobs.
“I will bring Loki down to the lab and have him assist you in any way that he can.” Thor says to them. “Wait you are not going to stay?” “Jane is flying in today and I want to spend as much time with her as I can before I return to Asgard. Speaking of which, I will be in need of a new sleeping arrangement with regard to my brother. Would it be possible to give him his own room for the remaining time that we are here?”
Tony smiles a devilish smile at the Norse Blond God. “Oh course Thor no problem. Reindeer Games will be alright on his own at night won’t he?” “I do not anticipate any problems man of iron. So long as the one controlling him is responsible with the power that they have over him.” Tony quirks an eyebrow at this. “Hang on; I thought you were going to be in control of Loki until you guys left. I know you miss your girlfriend, but you don’t strike me as the type to shirk a responsibility for a piece of ass.” Thor’s expression is somber with this. He prepared for this line of questioning and has a response ready. He just hopes no one else sees through his lie. Loki could, but Loki isn’t going to tell anyone. He can’t.
“The last few days have been difficult for me. My anger with my brother has been difficult to control. I find myself constantly tempted to abuse the power that I have over him and to punish him in a way that is neither ethical nor brotherly. I wish to hurt him, and it is not my right, but my father’s right to pass judgment upon Loki. I need a couple days off from watching him.” Tony nods at this. He gets it. Everyone here in Stark tower would love nothing more than to make Loki dance like a puppet and humiliate and degrade himself in every conceivable way. And that’s the problem. No one here at the tower can be trusted to wield the glow stick of destiny and not abuse Loki in some way. Everyone here is too angry with him, even Captain Icicle. An unbiased third party needs to be brought in to manage the God of Mischief until he goes home. “I’ll contact Fury and see if he can send over someone trustworthy and responsible enough to manage him while you are out with your girl.” “Thank you Anthony, it is a favor I will not forget.”
