After Thor went besrkr, he was imprisoned. Crowned Prince Loki, now King of Asgard and the Nine Realms, needs his brother's help.
"Give me Mjolnir and I am yours to command."
"Ah, Loki," came the deep rumbling voice of Thor. It had been centuries since that voice had pierced his soul. "Come at last, brother? For what? To mock? To gloat?"
"Enough, Thor." Loki said, swallowing.
Thor chuckled. It was not the comforting sound it had once been. He heard shackles rattle, and saw the figure in the damp and dark corner rise.
When he stepped out of the shadows, Loki saw his brother for the first time since the trial.
He was thin. His bones were as prominent as his rippling muscles he had always had. His cheeks had sunk in, clearly from malnourishment. He wore ragged pants, worn boots, and a cut off shirt that was stained with blood, sweat, and dirt. His hair was long and matted with mud and crimson. He was still handsome as ever, despite his ragged appearance. His face had been adorned with a bruised eye and a cut along his cheek. The shackles had rubbed his wrists raw, and dried blood coated his forearms.
The manacles attached to a thick metal collar around his neck which attached to the cold damp wall behind him. He was brought to a stop by the leash and chains attached to his feet.

"Behaving yourself, I see," Loki retorted.
Thor's dark grin widened. "Oh yes, brother. I am a favorite of theirs. They like my spirit. Though they've found it quite unbreakable."
Loki swallowed. He couldn't believe Thor had been allowed to be treated this way.
"I need your help."
Thor scoffed. "Not a day will go by that you don't."
"This is serious Thor," Loki continued, grimacing as his brother's dark smirk crossed his face again. "There have been two infinity stones that have come into my possession in the last 2 years. The power stone has been used to cause mass destuction in KnowWhere, successfully obtaining the Aether we hid there. It's wielder has taken the attacked Midgard last night and got very close to capturing the Time stone. I need your help to stop them."
"Your realms are of very little importance to me." Thor spat, turning to sit back down in his corner.
"They're your realms too, Thor. Regardless of my title, it was yours first. And unjustly given away."
Thor paused at that. "I don't recall the Nine Realms rushing to free their future King."
"You do this with me, I will grant you your freedom. You may go wherever you please."
Thor turned back to him, coming as close as his chains allowed. Loki winced at the sight of all the blood and pain he was obviously in. "Give me Mjolnir, and I am yours to command."
"You're hardly in a position to make demands."
"You came to me."
Loki bit his cheek nervously. It probably wasn't wise, but he needed Thor's help. "Alright. But you will be within my control from an obedience disk. If you misuse her, you'll regret it."
Thor clenched his fingers, the shackles responding to the movement loudly. It was obviously not the response he had been hoping for. He raised his fiery blue eyes to meet Loki's. The evil grin slid across his handsome features again. "When do we start?"
