y/n stood beside the bed and stared at loki who still hadn't woken up. it was almost one p.m. the next day, and loki was usually awake with the sunrise.

y/n sighed and put his arms under loki and picked him up bridal style. he was going to get tony to finally take off his limiters.

he stepped into the elevator and instructed jarvis to take him to wherever tony was, and the ai complied.

the elevator stopped at the main floor of avengers tower, where they all usually resided.

when they elevator dinged, everyone's
heads turned to see y/n standing there with an unconscious loki in his arms. a strange sight to see, really. it wasn't often they saw loki like that.

thor stood up from the couch and walked towards them.

"what happened? is he all right?" thor asked fractically.

y/n didn't answer his questions and stared straight at tony.

"take his limiters off. now."

y/n walked to the couch steve and natasha were sitting on, and they stood up so y/n could lay him down.

"you know i can't do that, y/n," tony sighed, folding his arms.

y/n drew in a shaky breath and stared down at loki's weak figure.

"do you not see the state he's in? how drained he's become? you're depriving him, you're killing him!" y/n said, his voice raising in anger.

"y/n—" steve began, and y/n turned to glare at him.

"what, steve?"

steve drew in a sharp breath. "you know what he's capable of. he's dangerous."

"so is slowly depriving him of something he needs to live the answer? the right thing to do?" y/n asked. steve opened his mouth to answer, but closed it after.

"he has done nothing but bend to all of your guys' will. the only reason he ever lashed out was because you guys were treating him like shit while i was gone and you know it," y/n said, looking between all of them. they averted their gazes to the floor in shame.

"we go out in public all the time and he never tries anything. when we ran into my—" y/n paused and gulped, "when we ran into my ex and he put his hands on me, loki could have hurt him and used protecting me as an excuse, but he didn't."

y/n shook his head.

"he is not dangerous anymore and you're hurting him for no reason. take his limiters off," y/n said, returning his gaze back to tony.

"i agree. i believe loki has changed," thor said, standing beside y/n. y/n looked him and smiled gently. thor smiled back.

y/n looked up and saw that his hair was still slightly tinted green, and although it wasn't the appropriate time, y/n had to bite back a laugh.

"you guys, don't you understand that we can't risk it? we just can't," tony said.

y/n opened his mouth to say something, but steve beat him to it.

"tony, why don't we just try? we have the ability to stop him, we've done it before. i think he deserves a chance," he said.

tony sighed and looked between steve and the unconscious god.

he rolledd his eyes and walked to loki. "fine."

he put his thumbs on the gold bracelets around loki's wrists and they beeped. they clicked and unlatched from around loki's wrists.
