I don't need to be kind to the armies of night
That had been a long, long drop. He never actually felt the water at the end of the icy plunge, as unexpected a sensation as the sun-warmed stones beneath his back, and as thoroughly welcome as the lack of an enraged, criminal mastermind in his grip. Flailing his way upright was a terrible mistake– the rest of the intact sutures in his shoulder neatly pop, and though still half frozen, that is not a pleasant sensation at all.
It won't take him long to find the helpful, welcoming instructions of the place, the how-to's and cheery pamphlets. Is he dead? All his numerous aches say otherwise.
Satisfied at present with the oddness of his situation, and that his surroundings seem to be going nowhere in a hurry, he'll offer up his question, "How far have you gone, to commit an act of vengeance?"

Loki approached the man who looked like Stark with a wary step, allowing his eyes to grace over his appearance. The blood on his coat was another thing. He was injured. Then there was his attire; it wasn't quite Stark's style.
"Stark? I have only arrived here myself not a day or two ago, so cannot offer you assistance in regards to a doctor. Unless, you give me permission to use my magic to create bindings to stop the bleeding for now."
Would he help this man? Loki was not the type to offer charitable aid to Stark, since he had caused the Chitauri invasion not long ago and had destroyed his front room with the help of Hulk. Yet, that was past history and this man was obviously some sort of twin brother, perhaps? One who had an accent unlike his own.
