Beautiful Monster

Unexpected Meeting

It's been 6 months since what happened in New York, with the magic and Chitauri stuff. The Avengers are on duty now, trying to make the world a better place, capturing bad guys. They now stayed in the Stark Tower together, Tony got plenty of room. They all got to know each other, everything went so well, with everyone doing their own business.

In the living room of Stark Tower, the lights were off, so the TV's light was glowing the room.
"Don't throw banana at me, Clint! No banana at me!" Tony shout irritatedly.
"That's my banana, of course I can throw it at you!" Clint shoot him back.
"But look at what you've done! I was first, now I'm third." Tony cried. They have been playing mario kart the past 2 hours and it look like they are not bored yet.
With Natasha on the second place, Tony on third, Bruce on forth, Steve on the last place and Clint leading.

"Cap, you should keep up. You are like so left behind." Hawkeye chuckled.

"I did my best, man. This game is just too hard. I just don't get how these buttons work." Steve whined. Believe it or not, this is the first time Steve played a video game and he sucks at it. The race continues with shouting and screaming and laughing.

But then a loud noise was heard. It's like something just crashes onto Stark's roof, something huge. They all paused and look up at the ceiling.
"What is that?" Bruce asked worriedly.
"Jarvis, what is that?" Tony asked his AI.
Jarvis paused a moment, he took that to identified what just landed on the roof. "It's Thor, Sir," Ah, right Thor went back to Asgard 2 weeks ago, to check how his home been doing. I guess he had a rough landing huh? "And Loki." Jarvis continues.

They then just look at each other, don't know how to react to that. "What is Loki doing?" Tony finally speak up, breaking the silence.

"I don't know, is he trying to kill us?" Clint's eyes widened.

"I don't think so, Thor's with him." Bruce answered calmly.

"Sorry to interrupt, but I think they are not in good shape, Sir" Jarvis informed in a British accent.

"Do you think we should check them up?" Clint offered.
Natasha and Steve rolled their eyes, and nodded hardly.
"Okay, I'm going to pause the game!" Tony said hurriedly, pausing the game and followed the others to the lift.

Banner press the button that written ROOF on it and the button lightened "Mr Banner, they are currently not on the roof, they are on the kitchen." Then the lights on ROOF faded, and the button below lightened. They all give the AI confused face. The lift opened and the kitchen was a mess, there is hole on the ceiling, glass scattered on the floor. They ran to where the blond god is lying, like dead.

Steve slaps his face softly, but the god didn't respond to it.
"Is he dead?" Natasha asked

"No, he is breathing. He is unconscious I guess." Bruce said, he is a doctor anyway.

"He is asleep." Suddenly a dry voice said. Shit, they didn't realize Loki is here. They all were startled by Loki's voice.
"What did you do to him?" Steve walking towards him furiously.
"Nothing." Loki said coldly.
"Then why are you with him? Shouldn't you be in the prison of Asgard? Did you escape?" Steve shoot him with lots of questions.

Loki open his mouth but then closed it again, swallow down hardly. Tony notice he is not okay, he needs drink. Tony doesn't know why he feels like helping Loki, even though this is the guy who threw him out of his window, who tried to take over the world. But, there is something inside him that is trying to convince him to help Loki.
"Need some water?"

Loki looked at Tony and nodded softly. Tony get up and walk to the cabinet to take a glass.
"What you now offer him a drink?" Clint said with disbelief. Tony walked towards Loki with a glass of water. "What? He is a guest, I should treat him well." Tony grin, "Besides, he can't talk with no water at all. You want him talk? Give him water."
