I Can't Find you In The Body Sleeping Next To Me
"What did I do?" Tony groaned at himself.
"What happened, Tony?" Steve pushed.
"I didn't mean it. I swear to god, I didn't mean it."
"What did you do?"
"Loki is pregnant."
Steve grind his teeth. He gave Tony his space to vent. But he knew as well as anyone else that this was bad timing. Especially given the circumstance.
"But?" Steve pushed again.
"I love Loki. I do. I'd do anything for him." Tony rambled on.
"Tony. What happened?"
"I thought of Magni. I thought of the pain Loki went through. I thought of Sigrid."
"Tony, it's okay. Breathe."
"No, it's not! Steve, I told him to get rid of it!"
Steve didn't say anything. Before Tony could think another thought, a loud sound interrupted them and a fist flashed before Tony's eyes.
"Thor, stop!" Loki screamed, chasing after his brother.
"Thor!" Steve roared. "Back down!"
Thor could only see red. He was so angry. He gripped one hand around Tony's throat and repeatedly punched Tony with his other fist. He didn't hear Loki's screaming. He ignored Steve's commands. All he could see was the red of Tony's blood as he continued the assault. This was his friend. Someone he trusted. The father of his beloved niece. The lover of his brother. A fellow Avenger. Iron Man. But that's not who Thor saw in this moment. All he saw was an alcoholic rapist who was abusing his younger brother. Tony couldn't breathe but he wouldn't protect himself. Loki held his stomach as he begged Thor to stop.
"You're killing him!" Loki sobbed. "Brother, stop!"
Steve grabbed Thor's fist and punched Thor across the jaw as hard as he possibly could and forced him off Tony. Steve held Thor against the wall as Loki ran to Tony. His body shook. Tony wasn't breathing.
