Marvel At What Could've Happened

Imagine: The Battle of New York never happened. In fact, nothing after Loki's capture and imprisonment on the helicarrier actually happens. Loki never breaks out, Banner never hulks out, Barton attacks the ship but is unsuccessful, and (let's be honest, most importantly) Phil Coulson doesn't die. The Avenger's plan goes right. Loki is their prisoner. Okay, now you can read!

Keep in mind that because the Battle of New York doesn't happen and (oops) I'm a huge sucker for Loki, this story really plays in his favor. If you're of the 1% of the world who doesn't at least secretly like him, don't read!

Not rated M but please be aware of strong language in later chapters!
