3rd pov

tony, steve, clint, and natasha were all sitting pensively in the main room.

y/n had gone missing. there were various signs of struggle, but there was no trace of who had taken him. and that was scary, because from what the avengers had gathered, it was extremely hard to take him down.

they were now awaiting the arrival of thor and loki, who were supposed to be back any minute now. they were truly terrified to tell thor that his brother had been kidnapped.

they decided to send bruce away somewhere safe, just in case anyone lashed out and things got ugly.

all of their hearts dropped when they heard a familiar boom come from the roof. thor and loki were back.

"i think it went well, brother!" thor said, walking beside loki who wore a deep scowl.

"it did not go well. i can't go back for another year," loki growled.

"but it's not permanent banishment! all i see is improvement. and y/n will surely be proud of you," thor said, trying to lighten loki's mood.

as the two of them entered the room, they instantly felt the tense and dark vibe.

thor looked between all of the avengers, observing their anxious, and somewhat sympathetic, expressions.

he took notice of how y/n wasn't there waiting with the rest of them.

he swallowed. "where is y/n?"

everyone stiffened. thor glared at all of them, waiting for a response.

loki stared at them, his mouth forming a flat line as he, too, waited for an answer.

steve inhaled deeply and sighed, wiping his face anxiously as he tried to find an explanation for what had happened.

"we don't know where y/n is," natasha finally said, and loki and thor just stood, staring.

thor laughed out loud.

"you guys! as much as i love jokes, it's important that we speak with y/n," thor said, still smiling. nobody else was smiling.

he realized that this wasn't a joke. and now he was angry. and the avengers noticed.

"what do you mean you don't know where he is? how did you not notice him leave?" thor yelled, walking closer to them.

loki stayed in place. watching.

"he didn't leave. he was taken," steve said, standing up to try and calm thor down, but it didn't work. thor's face grew red and he threw his hammer down onto the ground.

"how could he have been taken!? i thought this building had maximum security!" he yelled, walking to tony and pulling him up by his collar. tony remained calm.

"whoever took him has advanced technology. they shut down jarvis from the inside, and deleted all cctv footage of the building," tony said, and thor growled and threw him back onto the couch.

"what are we supposed to do about loki? now that y/n isn't here to watch him," clint said, and thor turned to look at him with wide eyes, not believing what he just said.

he walked to clint and shoved him backwards. "this is not the time to worry about loki! we need to focus on finding y/n."

thor huffed and grabbed his hammer, walking towards the elevator. loki followed silently, sending one last dirty look to the avengers who remained silent.

thor told jarvis to go to y/n's floor, and the ai obliged.

thor and loki stepped out of the elevator and looked around. nothing seemed out of place.

loki walked to y/n's room and stepped in, looking around. he spotted a small dent in the wall behind the door, left by the doorknob. was that always there?

"loki!" he heard thor call, and he quickly made his way down the hall to the reading room.

he felt his heart drop upon entering. the windows were sealed off, obviously having been broken, and glass was littered all of the floor. books were thrown off of shelves and strewn upon the room.

it definitely looked like a fight scene. loki looked at all of the books on the floor, and noticed something hiding under one of them.

he walked over to it, glass cracking under his shoes, and he bent down and picked up the book. under it lay a small dart. he picked it up carefully and stood up, bringing it closer to his eyes to look at it better.

a strange logo was printed onto the cold metal of the dart. a skull with tentacles encased in a circle. loki didn't know what it meant, but when thor saw it he recognized it immediately.

"hydra," he said darkly, and loki turned to him, confused.

"what is hydra?" he asked. thor sighed and shook his head.

"an evil organization. they perform experiments on people, and have tried to dominate earth many times. they are the cause of shield's demise," thor explained, and loki grew nervous at the experiment part.

"come, brother. we must show this to the rest. we are already one step closer to finding y/n," thor said, and loki followed behind him.

the avengers were still sitting beside themselves in silence when thor and loki arrived back on their floor.

thor wasted no time showing them the dart, and steve's expression darkened.

"hydra," he said, taking the dart from thor's hand and examining it.

"right," thor said.

"can that help us find y/n?" loki asked, and the avengers turned to him, slightly surprised by his concern.

tony stood up to look at the dart with steve.

"it most likely had some kind of tranquilizer in it. if i can find out the contents of it, and even the materials used to make the dart itself, it might help us pin point who exactly in hydra took him," tony said.

"well we better act fast. we don't know why hydra took him or what they plan to do to him," steve said, and everyone nodded.

tony immediately got to work, while everyone else focused on listing different hydra bases and getting ruling out ones they knew y/n for sure wasn't at.

tony worked on the dart, steve and clint ruled out hydra bases, and natasha worked with agent hill to find out who in the avengers building was a spy.

loki returned to his floor silently, his disappearance going unnoticed by the rest of the avengers.

he stepped into his room and shut the door gently.

he threw his fist into the wall and screamed in anger, ripping his fist out only to bring it down into the wall again.

he screamed in agony and knocked things off of his shelves, taking objects and throwing them.

he was filled with rage and anger. he was angry at tony for not making the windows stronger. he was mad at all of the avengers for not noticing that y/n was being attacked.

but he was mostly mad at himself. if only he had taken y/n with him to asgard. if only he had cooperated, maybe he would've been back in time to save y/n.

he fell against the door and slid down it, burying his head into his knees.

he was so afraid.
