Chapter 12

When we sit at the table, the boy sits next to Loki and the man sits next to Steve. Loki smiles "What's your name?"

"Vision." the man states in a British accent, before nodding to the boy "That's Pietro. His twin sister is in the women's facility."

Loki nods, before taking a bite and asking Pietro "Would you like to see her?" the boy gives a confused look, before Loki shrugs "I've got connections everywhere."

"You can do that?" the boy asks and Loki nods. The boy nods, before stating "Her name is Wanda. Wanda Maximoff."

Loki looks over his shoulder to Heimdall. When he attracts Heimdall's attention, he nods him over "Loki!" Heimdall smiles as he reaches us "Nice to see you're out of the pit!"

"Glad to be out." Loki replies, before looking to Pietro "My new friend, Pietro, would like to visit his sister today, after breakfast. Can you swing that?"

Heimdall nods, getting a smile from Pietro "I'll call my contact in the women's facility and have her through the tunnel."

Loki nods, before asking "Call over Natasha Rominoff, will you? I'd like to speak to my dear friend."

Heimdall nods, before walking off. Pietro looks to him in amazement "How'd you do that? I've been asking for a week."

"It's good to have connections." Loki states before asking "Why, and how long, are you in for?"

Pietro points to Vision "The three of us have ten years, for slaughtering the man that killed my parents." He looks to Vision "Viz worked for Ultron at the time."

Loki nods, before sighing "I killed my abusive father, got five, then killed fourteen other pedophiles, inside. Get out in nine years." he nods to Steve "Steve has life for having a stack of over-the-counter meds on his nightstand, that he could've used to make meth with."

"Tony is in for life for selling an unlicensed firearm to a minor." he continues, before nodding to me "Thor killed his cheating exwife who aborted their baby. He's sterile."

I glare at him and he sighs "He's got ten years, as well."

They nod, before Loki nods towards Other "You see that guy over there?" they nod again and he scoffs "He burned down a gay bar."

They give a shocked look and Vision asks "And he's in low-level security?"

"Couldn't pin it on him, but he walks around admitting it." Loki states, before shaking his head "He's officially a coke dealer. He's in low-level for life, instead of getting fried darker than the people that he hates. Jackarse."

Pietro gocks, before declaring "Someone should set fire to him." Loki nods, before Pietro looks to him "I heard you've got an eye for those who need a shive."

Loki sighs "Can't do that to Other." Pietro gives a confused look and Loki explains "He's the leader of those dickbags. Need to have a reason to take him out."

As I sit across from Hela, Pietro sits across from a redhead, and Loki sits with another red head.

"How are you?" Hela asks and I hum "You seem alright, considering what happened to Sif."

"Yeah..." I sigh, before clearing my throat and asking "Would it be moronic to date someone on the inside?"

She furrows her brow "Brother, do you have a bitch?" I give a confused look "Are you screwing someone?"

"No." I state and she sighs in relief "But do you think I could have a functioning relationship, with another prisoner?"

"What's he in for?" she asks and I set my jaw "Did he murder a bunch of cats, or sell some crack?"

I look towards Loki and she follows my gaze, before I explain "He killed his father." Loki speaks to the redhead with a smile on his face. Her's and Wanda's jumpsuit are dark red.

She looks back to me and shrugs "Maybe. You'd make an adorable couple, if you were on the outside."

Not a minute later, a guard steps in and smirks "Prisoner 2-1-1-6-5-5, your visit is over! Stand up and step towards me!"

I see Loki straighten out very slowly, before taking the hand of Natasha and kissing it. Afterwards, he stands, turns, and steps up to the guard, who places him in handcuffs, and leads him out.

Once he's gone, I frown "He should've had ten more minutes." Hela shrugs and I furrow my brow, before watching as Natasha stands and walks towards guards.

Then I think... what's my number? 1-9-7-1-8-4, reads my badge. Hela frowns "What are you thinking?"

"No guard has called me by number." I state and she gives a worried look "The way he reacted... it's not good."

When I get back to my cell, Loki is still gone. Seconds later, Tony and Steve pop in, before frowning "Where's Loki?"

"I don't know." I state and they look at one another "The guards pulled him out during visitation."

"Call him by number?" Stark asks and I nod, before he curses under his breath. He looks to Rogers "Go get those two."

In a matter of seconds, he returns with Pietro and Vision. After they crawl onto the top bunk, Rogers sighs "Tell them, Tony."

Tony is silent for a second, before explaining "It's best to keep your head low around here. A few of the guards..." he shakes his head.

"A few of the guards pluck four prisoners, to host a monthly fight club." Rogers states, before scratching his forehead "The winner gets to return to their cell."

"And the losers?" Vision asks.

"The first round, is to the death." Steve states, before explaining "They hide clubs and shanks in the bathroom, and you better find one before the other does."

"The second round, is fist to fist." Tony declares, before shrugging "Whoever drops first, becomes the guards, sexdoll slash punching bag for the next month, or whenever the guards want to release them. It's all very hush-hush."

Pietro frowns "That is very insane!"

"Dude, what did you think happened in the Klyn?" Stark asks, before scoffing "All the newbies think it's all sunshine and daisies."

"Wait." I insist and they look to me, curiously "How did you two find out about it, if it was a secret?"

Tony's face goes pained, before Steve explains "Before you got her, there were four of us. Loki, Tony, Peter, and I."

"Peter was sixteenth." Tony sighs "He accidently caught an empty bus on fire, playing with fireworks. Got a year."

"Too young to be in here." Steve gocks "Guards liked the fresh meat, and pulled him into the fight."

"Won his first fight." Tony nods, before shaking his head "He was never the same. Said he had to bash some old guys face in."

"He got picked again." Steve continues, before giving a regretful look "During his second fight, he waited to be killed."
