Tony's punishments were all harsh, but there was one, above all, that was the most cruel.
He'd been inspired by the movie A Clockwork Orange for this one. It involved a chair with arm and leg restraints, a big screen television, and the most potent acid that Tony could get hold of.
The whole thing was quite simple, really. He'd hooked up the television, restrained Loki in the chair, and had slipped two tabs of acid onto his tongue. He then held Loki's mouth shut, forcing him to swallow.
Two sets of ophthalmic forceps kept Loki's eyes open, forcing him to watch hours upon hours of footage of the damage that he'd caused.
Tony knew that in this case, Loki's worst enemy would be his own mind, and he was right. As the acid took effect, Loki began a terrible trip. The ex-god trembled and begged for forgiveness as he imagined those that he'd killed rising up, coming towards him, their decaying flesh dripping off of their bodies. The Chitauri surrounded him as well, everyone and everything reaching for him, demanding that he pay for his sins.
He screamed and cried and pissed himself and shit himself. Tony wasn't particularly surprised by any of this.
And the torture lasted for hours. And the next day, it was repeated again. And again the day after that.
Things had been going on as they normally did on the fourth day, when JARVIS suddenly interrupted.
"Sir," the AI said, "There are visitors in the building. The other Avengers have arrived upstairs."
