Snapped

The entire Stark household was asleep by twelve, except Stark himself. Loki had offered to stay up with Tony while he had to make important contracting phone calls about adding on to the penthouse, but he'd insisted that Loki put their baby to bed at a decent hour. He was honestly regretting it, becoming bored of being put on hold and wanted to rouse his love from his slumber, however intent to be a good fiancé/father and suck it up. Unbeknown to him, Steve and Chloe were lurking right outside their door, having already snuck passed security at the entrance to the Tower and traveled to the top floor.

"Are you sure this is going to work?" Chloe whispered nervously, clearly hearing Tony's voice as he spoke on the phone.

"It doesn't matter that he's awake. We already ran this by SHIELD, remember? After Loki's attack, they made this gaseous substance that will render Loki's magic useless. All we have to do is spray it when we kick the door in, it permeates fast, and then I'll take on Stark. I want you to run to the first bedroom you see on the right, that's the master bedroom and likely where Loki is if he's asleep. He may still be strong without his magic, but you're a trained assassin, I have faith that you can take him out swiftly. Gag and bind him and then get out of here as quickly as possible, do you understand me?" Chloe nodded and took a deep breath, about to be sick as Steve's combat boot made contact with Tony's front door. Tony sprang up immediately, the phone dropping from his hand and calling on JARVIS as Steve sprayed the mysterious mist. Chloe ran to the bedroom and Tony didn't miss a beat, lunging for her and grabbing her by the hair. Tony's suit flew to him and latched on to his skin quickly as Steve made an attempt at ramming him into the wall behind him. Tony let go of Hawkeye's hair and reared his hand back, his repulsor beam lighting up.

"I've been waiting an awfully long time to see if one blast in the face could take down a so called super-soldier." Chloe took this as her opportunity to run into Tony and Loki's bedroom, going ahead and binding his hands and securing the gag before she tried to move him. Loki didn't wake up when she moved him, much to her relief, and she quickly ran out to her and Steve's car, and gently laid Loki in the back seat. Tony had been too busy having it out with Steve to notice, until Steve grabbed a hold of a gun he'd stuffed in his pants before arriving and shot Tony in the head, making a run for the door and hopping into the car. Of course since he'd had his suit on this hadn't injured Tony, but it had messed with the mechanics, and something was now shocking him. Tony cursed allowed and struggled to get the damned thing off while running to his bedroom to check on Loki. Pepper and Frigga, having heard all the commotion, came running, and walked in on a rigid and panicking Tony.

"H-He's gone...where did they...how did he sleep through..." Tears slid down Tony's cheeks and Frigga wrapped her arms around him.

"Pregnancy does that to you. I slept through a dwarf invasion when I was pregnant with Thor. But don't you worry, we're going to find him. Do you know who it was that took him?" Tony's voice came out like a strangled bark, icy and unforgiving.

"Rogers." Pepper covered her hands with her face in absolute horror.

"Oh no, no, we have to do something quick!" She turned to run out of the now broken door, kicking a letter on accident and picking it up.

"Um...Tony?" Tony snatched the letter and read it to the two women before him.

"If you ever want to see your lover and child again you will meet me at the nearest SHIELD base in half an hour. If you fail to do so, you will rue the consequences. Bring my son." Pepper paled and Tony shot her a reassuring look.

"Go get Bucky. We're going to let Jane watch him, that's all, we aren't giving him to Steve. We'll rescue Loki another way." Tony donned an undamaged suit and then the trio ran out to Tony's new 67' Chevy Impala (which he had bought especially for Loki) and drove straight to Thor's house. They were going to need all the help they could get.
