Shield Facility

Andromeda stared at Tony for a second, then yelled, "Look, you selfish son of a bitch! You might not care what happens to Loki, and I would understand that. He told me about New York! But you haven't lived with him for the past year. Loki's my best friend! I don't want something terrible happening to him. What he did- that was SUPER weird for him! I mean, just yesterday he came back home crying because he had just been cheated on! And you're gonna go make his life even more convoluted than it already is on account of his insane case of daddy issues and emotional state? Seriously, that wasn't Loki, I know it. Somethings seriously wrong!" Her face was red and flustered, and she was threateningly leaning towards Tony at that point.

Tony stared at her for a second before she again yelled, "if you can do anything to help him, do it. DO IT NOW!"
He looked at her for a second. "There is a way we could help him, but I have to bring him to Shield."

"Whatever keeps him innocent works for me!"
Andromeda picked up Loki and pinned him against the wall. Her not being the strongest person ever and Loki being a grown man, she struggled. But Tony walked over to help and offered to carry him.
Tony rested Loki's head on his shoulder, and held him up by his back and legs. It was the easiest way to carry him without getting blood all over himself.

He looked at Loki and thought that he looked- pretty- while asleep.
He shook his head. He shouldn't think like that. This was the same guy that killed 80 people in two days.

Tony brought Loki out into his car and Sophia and Andromeda awkwardly followed him.
He put Loki in the passenger seat and the two girls got in the back seat.

Tony drove them to the Shield facility and brought Loki in and the girls followed. Sophia was clutching Andromeda's arm the entire time.

"So he's had a boyfriend and a girlfriend?"
"Yeah."
"Great, now he's gay. So, when exactly did he attack you?"
"Right after Sophia came over."

Loki opened his eyes and squinted at the lights around him. He realized that he, once again, had the metal mask around his mouth, so he couldn't speak. Where was Andromeda and Sophia? Were they okay? How'd he get to where he was? Why did he attack them? What compelled him to do that?
As he was questioning everything happening around him, someone noticed that he was awake.

"Ah, look. The bitch is awake. Hi motherfucker."
Loki looked up from where he was to see Nick Fury above him. His eyepatch reminded Loki of his adopted father.
Loki tried to say something like, "where am I?" Or "are the girls okay?", but the mask prevented him.

That's when he actually got a hold on where he was. He was tied down to a bed inside some sort of large glass tube, as if he was a science experiment, and he saw the Shield symbol printed on one of the walls around him. He had large bandages around his arms and many tubes and needles stuck in his neck and wrists.

Loki immediately freaked out, shaking and silently yelling. He pulled upwards on the ties around his arms and ankles, and shook his head back and forth. He couldn't be in shield again.

Tony ran towards Loki and yelled into the glass, "LOKI CALM DOWN!"

Loki clenched his fists and closed his eyes tightly. He felt his nails dig into his palms.

Tony again yelled, "LOOK, WE HAVE NO IDEA WHY ANY OF THIS HAPPENED, BUT WERE GONNA FIGURE IT OUT. I NEED YOU TO CALM DOWN."

Loki froze, and went limp into the bed he was in. He started crying.
