"So I can't go back?" Loki asked slightly disappointed, but he already the all father wouldn't let him back. Thor shook his head "no, I'm sorry, but he said anyone that wants to, can come visit you, with his permission of course." Loki faked a smile. Of course he was happy Lillian, and Thor could come visit, but he really wanted to go home. "Thank you Thor." He said, and plucked an apple from the table. Lillian was sat at his side, and the others were gathered around the table, eating breakfast as well. Thor, as always, was gobbling down pounds of food, like it was nothing. And Loki, as he had been, recently at least, was only having a little over half an apple. Thor looked at him quizzically "brother? why aren't you eating?" Loki looked down, and noticed he had only taken two bites from his apple. "I'm just not very hungry." He said, it wasn't a full lie, he didn't feel hungry, but he knew he should eat. He picked up the apple and started to take a bite. He crunched into it, but when he started chewing, it tasted like blood. He spit it out, and a chunk of human flesh, and blood landed on his plate. He jumped back. Everyone at the table looked up at him with confusion and fear. He looked back down at his plate, and a chunk of apple lay in the center, just apple. He looked to Clint who seemed to understand, and stood, taking Loki to his room. Thor followed.

After shutting the door, Thor studied Loki's face "what just happened Loki?" He asked, and Clint shot him daggers. Loki was sitting on his bed, with his knees tucked up to his chest. Clint placed his hand on his knee, and whispered to him "It's okay Loki, it's okay, you're safe, it's okay." Loki looked up at him "what did he show you Loki?" Clint asked, backing away. Loki shook his head. "the time, when he starved me, he didn't let me eat for two months, a mortal would have been dead. He came in, normal routine, cut me up, burned me, but this time, he kept a piece of the flesh from my arm. He gave it to me, he said to eat up, I wouldn't get any more food for a long time. I did, then of course, the next day he came in with some food...it was just a test to see if I could go longer, or if I would die from starvation, he figured if I was willing to...eat...myself, I was on the verge of death. That's what he showed me, he turned my apple into blood in my mouth, and flesh on my plate." Thor clenched his jaw. "Jeg har tenkt å fucking drepe ham, Jeg vil gjøre ham betale for hva han har gjort til du lillebror! Jeg lover." Thor swore, storming out of the room. Clint turned back to Loki raising an eyebrow at him. "he said he would fucking kill him, he will make him pay for what he did to me, he promises."Clint nodded "oh." There were a few moments of awkward silence before Clint stood and walked out, saying something about helping clean up.

Loki sat there, lost in thought, until he slowly drifted to sleep. He didn't dream, which was probably a good thing, it meant he could finally rest. He slept in until 5 pm, no one bothered him. He sat up, yawning, and walked out to the living room. Tony was sitting on the couch. "hey sleeping beauty." He checked his watch "You slept for eight hours." Loki stopped in his tracks "wait, really?" He asked, eyes bright. Tony nodded "we figured we should just let you sleep....did you sleep okay? any nightmares?" Loki smiled "no, none, I didn't dream at all." Tony genuinely looked happy for him. "nice, you want anything?" Loki looked around "no, thank you." He sat next to Tony, and turned is attention to the t.v. "wait, where is Lillian?" He asked looking around once again. "she went shopping with Natasha, so she could get some 'mid-guardian' clothes." Loki nodded, wishing she was there. "hey, Loki?" Loki looked at him "yes?" "do you, um, sing?" Loki looked at him with a questioning look "why?" Tony bit his lip "well, you remember that time when you got drunk?" Loki laughed "hardly." Tony chuckled "you were really drunk, you started singing, and, it's just, you were really good." Loki blushed a deep shade of crimson, it was true, he used to sing for Lillian, she loved hearing him sing. "I used to.." He said, utterly embarrassed, and not wanting to admit that he still loves to sing anytime he is alone. Tony nodded "you have a really unique voice, it's the best I've ever heard." Loki laughed "Thank you Stark." He turned his attention back to the t.v. I am not getting drunk again, at least not here. He thought to himself, Lillian, and now Tony were the only one's who had ever heard him sing, and he wanted to keep it that way.
