    Summary

    The asset is programmed not to strike a handler. Not to struggle no matter who is doing what to it. And it complies. The asset is programmed not to shy away when technicians approach torch-first to take it apart and put it back together in the name of science, research, progress. And it complies. The asset is programmed not to object to the mouth guard, the restraints, the chair. Not to beg or plead when it is left empty and hungry in its cryo tube. And it complies. The asset is programmed not to so much as consider harming an operator, the highest of all members of the organization. And...

    And if the silent, liquid fury in the asset’s eyes is any indicator, the asset does not comply.

    (Or: The one where the asset is thawed out during the Chitauri attack on New York, escapes, and goes hunting for revenge with the Avengers hot on the trail.)

    Summary

    “Iron Man,” Loki stated—questioned, more like, by the tone—turning around to face him, although his gaze was oddly a few degrees off of Tony, his hands raised in a defensive gesture. “Anthony Stark,” he stated, and this time Tony noticed that his voice sounded suspiciously more like a dry rasp, as if he hadn’t used it in months.

    Except for screaming, probably, that is, the part of his brain still recovering from The Cave supplied merrily.

    “In the flesh,” Tony replied, trying to keep himself unfazed. The whole starved look was probably an illusion anyway, he told himself.
     
    Tony was pretty sure he heard Loki mutter a resigned “So this is how I die, then,” to himself.

    All right, this was giving off some solid horrible vibes, and not in the A Feral Demigod of Evil and Trickery is Going To Kill Me sense, either.


    Or: A broken "hero", a shattered "villain", and the pain, hope and parallels in between.

    Summary

    Ever had Loki been pulled between two worlds, ever struggled to maintain a bridge between Jotunheim and Asgard, for love of Frigga and Thor. No more, he could not bear it.
    He stopped before the gates, blatantly ignoring the weapons pointed at him. Instead, he trained his attention on the blandly attired man who was clearly in charge.
     
    "I am Prince Loki of Jotunheim. I have come with a grave warning for your Realm."
     --

    An AU where Loki was sent back to Jotunheim as a child after his presence was discovered on Asgard. When Thor is banished after his failed coronation, Loki takes the opportunity to get his revenge for Thor's attack on his home. And to provide a headache for SHIELD.
