Frostiron: What they didn't know

What they didn't know was going to hurt them, it was going to make those that had done him wrong pay for the crimes they had committed. What they didn't know was that he had planned for this from the beginning, that he had plotted for this exact moment of when they would betray him. What they didn't know was that even now as he sat in the center of his dark cell in the bowels of some damn Shield base was he was setting the players in motion. What they would find out was just how far he was willing to go and that by the time it was all said and done, no one would ever mess with him or touch his stuff again.

Tony Stark was not a man to cross, he would have thought that those that had employed him to be a consultant and well hero would know that. Look at what happened to the terrorist that had kidnapped him, all dead by his hand. Look what happened to the man that he had thought of as a father, who had ripped out his heart, dead also by his order. Looked at what happened to anyone, anyone that crossed him and yet they still had the gall to think that because they were some organization under the radar that they could harm him. That was alright because they would learn just like all those before them just how a genius could be the wrong person to piss off.

He couldn't help the smirk that was on his face as he thought of the fact that he had frozen a part of the money they had been getting, no small amount from his company. It had been set up back when his dad had been a founding member of the group, back perhaps when it was a little more pure than what it was now. Smile at the fact that they could not get to Jarvis, his systems, his house or tower and better yet to any of his suits, including the one that Rhodey had. How it must burn them to not be able to get to anything he didn't want them to have even as he was in here. That he was still calling the shots despite being thrown into the dark pit but then they hadn't known that Tony still had friends that would help him.

Taking a deep breath he centered himself the best that he could, he knew that for the rest of the night he would be left alone. He had received his nightly beating and all he could do was silently thank the fools for doing so. One thing Tony could do well was pissing off anyone he truly wanted to. It was a talent if you wanted to look at it so and every night he for the past couple months he had done so with a purpose. He reached out and finished the last of the runes on the circle he had built with his own blood. He knew that there was no way they would allow him to have chalk or any type of writing utensils. So he was left with what he could work with pain and blood. Besides if his readings were right his own blood would make what he was going to do more powerful. He had after all sacrificed his own blood to see this done.

It wasn't that Tony didn't have doubts of this working but he had to give it a shot to see if he could truly make those that had harmed him pay for what they had done. There was only one being he could think of that truly could help him get that sort of revenge if the person didn't out right kill him first. Tony didn't think he would if no other reason than Tony was willing to do just about anything the other would want him to do. Tony was backed into a corner, Tony was desperate, and he was without his beloved technology but he was damn well going to turn this travesty to his advantage.

He stilled his mind using the meditative techniques that Bruce had taught him just in case shit hit the fan. Both having at the time not really believed it would come to this but concluded that it was better safe than sorry. It wasn't easy for him since his mind tended to be on the constant go, exploring new ideas and creations. He had to free himself of inhibitions he hadn't realized he had. He had to be able to suspend disbelief in magic and reach out for it. In this moment he had to believe that he could make spell work. He closed his eyes and spoke, his voice even and clear with purpose, calling to another to join him as he spoke, "I am Loki Scar lip, Loki Giant's child, Loki Lie smith. I am Loki, who is fire and wit and hate. I am Loki and I will be under obligation to no one."

The pressure in the room seemed to change as the last words left his mouth; it felt heavy and slightly dangerous. A current was playing around him and he could tell green light was filling the room even as he kept his eyes shut, his head bowed just as the book had told him it should be. His arms held out from his side in a show that he bore no ill will to the god as knelt in the circle that crackled about him. He didn't let doubt enter for one moment because he was Tony Stark and whatever he set out to do always in the end worked and this would too.

"You know when someone summons a god normally there it isn't in a prison cell or is this some sort of trick to make sure I am getting my due punishment." There was no mistaking the voice that he heard; it was the same dark alluring whisper as before though there was a hint of amusement in it.

"No my lord it is no trick to ensnare you I promise." Tony answered finding it odd that he didn't choke on the word lord. Simply put there was no man above him as far as he was concerned but then this was hardly a man that literally stood above him.

He could feel the pleasure and surprise roll off the god as Loki moved closer to him, reaching down to lift the man's chin so they could look at each other. Loki standing above him in his armor still much the same since Tony had last saw him though it looked less scuffed up than before, "Now this is a surprise mortal, did you just call me your lord?"

"Yes my lord for how else would I address you?" Tony said calmly as he looked into shocking green eyes, deep and mesmerizing putting to shame the most perfect of emeralds out there.

Loki laughed unable to believe that an enemy of his was now before him kneeling and calling him his lord. This had potential written all over it and Loki was not going to let this slip, besides he had to know why the other was doing this, "Tell me Stark why do you call me before you as it must have been a hard thing for you to do?"

Tony kept himself calm, he would not let himself anger destroy his one really good chance at revenge by putting his foot in his mouth. He knew from reading the scroll he had in his possession at one time that he must tell Loki what it was he wanted and to do so clearly so there would be no misunderstand as to the intent of why Tony had summoned him, "My lord I request from you help to exact revenge on those that have wronged me, wronged those I would call my friend."

Oh certainly this had to be farce, there was no way the proud and arrogant Stark was asking Loki of all beings to help him get of all things revenge. He smirked as looked down at the male at his feet; he could see that it was taking all the strength the man had to do this, "If I grant you help, what will you give me for that help?"

"The world," Tony said simply looking the god in the eyes so Loki could see that he was telling the truth. The second part of the agreement to state what it was that he was willing to give and Tony was willing give him just that.

Loki tilted his head back and laughed manically, it really must be his birthday or something for the cosmos to give him this. He had really wanted Tony Stark on his side the first time he had invaded but then that damn shining bit of glass and metal had kept that from happening. This though was better than turning him into a mind controlled minion; this was the great Tony Stark asking to be his minion. He pulled the man to his feet still smiling as Tony did not fight him as if he knew to do so would only anger him, "Well then shall we leave your less then civil room and find a better place to stay?"

Tony smiled for the first time, realizing that he had done what he had set out to do or at least it was a good beginning. He nodded and felt something brush his mind before the cell that had been his home vanished around them. He couldn't say he would miss the place but he knew he would be back at some point after all there where a few guards that he had to pay back.
