"Please... Stop this." Loki swallowed a gulp as his nostrils clenched with the stench of the vile, bilious liquid of Chitauri excrement.
Loki hated himself at this moment. He had never begged in his life, save for when he was a child and was excluded from Thor's games.
His unheard pleas echoed through the cavernous kingdom of Thanos, and the hulking purple monster that was the king himself bellowed with laughter.
"This is not Asgard anymore, prince."
Loki damned the whimper that left his bloodied lips. A fresh wound stung at his rib, his tattered leather armor offering zero protection. His lacerated skin hurt, too.
His heart heavy and stomach lurching, the Chitauri leader dunked his body into the frothing cauldron of piss, and Loki screamed.
"Please! I'll do anything but stop, I'm begging you." The fallen prince of Asgard retched and sobbed simultaneously, pants soggy with green stains.
"Look at you. Pathetic." Thanos' lips curled upward.
"I'm- I'm a god! Odin will have your head for this!" Loki tried to sound braver than he felt, but winded up sounding scared and petulant.
Who was he trying to kid?
Thanos chuckled.
"What's a king to a monster?" He said.
Loki trashed in the cauldron, seething.
"ANSWER ME."
Loki flinched.
"Nothing."
"Good." Thanos nodded, casting a condescending smile in Loki and using his rough veiny fingers to tilt his head up roughly. With their eyes connected and Loki radiating fear, he spoke again.
"So what's a god to a non-believer?"
Loki felt his heart sink into an empty pit.
He knew the answer.
After an interminable silence punctuated with Loki's shrieks, Thanos telekinetically lifted him up and flung him to the ground. The sharp rocks embedded itself into Loki's body.
"Will-will you let me go?" Loki asked pitifully.
"I'll think about it, Son of Laufey." Thanos said dismissively.
An unexpected frisson of anger ripped through the hoarseness of his throat, and Loki faced Thanos abruptly.
"I'm sick of staying here and letting you turn me into some twisted monster to do your bidding. This place absolutely reeks. You don't deserve a fraction of the power you so wield!" Vitriol spewed from his mouth, coating the tip of his tongue with poison.
But then tentacles of fear wriggled into the heat of his fury. What had he done?
"I apologize- Agh!" Loki doubled over in pain. His heart suddenly felt as if a needle had poked into it, and it hurt.
"Do not speak to me that way. Now go to your cell where you belong." Thanos spat. "The only thing that reeks here is you."
Loki fled.
~~~
He was hunched up to his knees, tears falling shamelessly.
He could imagine his reflection now: A haggard face, unkempt tangled hair, jaundiced eyes and failure.
Loki grimaced.
Before he passed out like he did daily, he thought he saw red at the corner of his vision. Red and gold. Was this a glimpse of what was to come? New torture. Loki shivered.

A/N: So. I noticed there weren't enough FrostIron Fanfics on Wattpad to do Loki and Tony justice. :3 P.S, I promise there'll be Tony in Chapter One.
Head's up. Here's a clue.
"Loki, I'm not here to do you harm."
;) Loki'd,
Sparky
