Man-handled
Oh, Helheim. How degrading.
Pepper had oh so helpfully brought a disposable litter box, which she had then set up and placed in a corner of Tony's workshop, much to her boss's chagrin. Tony was treating it like a piece of alien technology, poking at its sides with his feet, and Loki was reacting much the same, sniffing at the box distrustfully and whacking at it with one paw.
Loki glared up at his “keepers” as the humans stood over him, waiting, expectant.
If you expect me to publicly defecate into a box, you are sorely mistaken.
“C'mon, go ahead, kitty.” Annoyingly enough, Tony was starting to adopt some of Pepper's high-pitched, babyish tones when he spoke to Loki.
Loki glared at the man, ears flat against his scalp, before lifting his head and marching off. Even in his normal form, Loki would not have dignified that comment with a response.
Tony and Pepper exchanged uncomfortable glances. “I guess he doesn't have to go,” Pepper offered with a shrug.
It took Tony hours to find Loki - the cat, and boy did that

A/N: Internet's being wonky. Hopefully I can get this chapter up before it decides to kick me off again. There should be three parts of Ch. 6; if there aren't, check back later, and hopefully there will be.
Reacquainted
Loki heard the Avengers return long before he caught sight of them. He had dozed without meaning to, and a quick glance at the nearest clock told him that three hours had passed. He would have frowned if he could; where had they been in all that time? Again, Loki cursed his magic's slow return.
Loki's first impulse was to run to the door and see whether or not Tony was in one piece, but he recognized his brother's heavy tread and the muffled boom of his voice and found himself frozen in place. He wondered then why he had had that impulse to begin with. He had given Iron Man some of his more vicious battle scars and hadn't thought twice about them, but he supposed that his priorities had changed now that he was relying on - well, mooching off of - one of his enemies. It wouldn't do for Tony Stark to die while Loki

"Look what I found hiding in the closet." Thor's voice was like a rumble of thunder, and Loki could imagine the scowl on his face. He held Loki aloft by the scruff of the neck, and the Trickster hung there like a thief at the end of his noose and awaited his sentence, limbs stiff at his sides.
Arranged stiffly on his bed, Tony shifted his body to look. "Well, Loki was bound to come out of the closet sooner or later," he said, his words still slurred. This close, Loki could see the mottled bruises that covered the left half of the human's face. Tony fought back a grin for a few moments before a series of giggles bubbled up from his chest. Loki glared at the human, but Tony did not seem to notice.
Twice, Thor sucked in a breath as though to say something only to let the silence lengthen. He looked helplessly at Steve, who shrugged in response.
"You said Loki," Thor finally said, speaking insultingly slow.
"Yes," Tony replied, waving aside the comment. "That is his name, you know." His eyes glittered wickedly

Stark's bed was warm, comfortable, and Loki saw no reason to leave it. He stayed curled by Tony's side as he dozed, kneading his claws into the softness of the comforter and squinting his eyes in a sly cat-smile at anyone who came to visit the incapacitated Man of Iron
