My Time

Prologue:

As Loki was brought in to see the All-father and accept the punishment for his crimes against Midgard, Asgard, and several other realms; he couldn't help but think how ironic this all was. He had gone to Earth to rule as a benevolent god not to be defeated by those who were beneath him, including his brother. Ah yes his brother "Thor" where was his oaf of a brother this day instead of here for Loki to tease and torment. Odin sat on His throne straight and stoic as always, his eye seeming to look right through someone.

The guards leading Loki with chains stopped at the base of Odin's throne, but Loki took a few more steps forward and stopped with a mock soldier stance.

Loki gave a laugh and said "I really don't see what all the fuss is about."

"Do you truly not feel the weight of your crimes?" said Odin.

"I merely went to Earth to rule the humans as a benevolent god just as you did." Loki Countered.

"We are not gods," said Odin, "we live and die just as humans do."

"Give or take a few hundred years." Loki spat out.

Odin leaned forward and said in a quite yet eerily frightening tone, "You will spend the rest of your days in the dungeons, and never see Frigga again."

Loki looked startled and sick as Odin announced that he would never see his mother again. He didn't care if he must spend all of his life in the impenetrable cell beneath the palace, but to never see his mother again, the woman who was his home and had raised him as her own completely even though knowing the monster he was.

Chapter 1

Dungeons Can't Hold Me Forever

Loki had been in the dungeons for three days now, and Frigga had been there once but only in apparition. He had turned her away when she had spoken to him in logic, he knew he shouldn't have told her that she was not his mother, but it slipped out before he even knew the thought had come to him. Blue streaked through his eyes just for a moment with his outburst; He saw the hurt in Frigga's eyes but dismissed her before she could see his own hurt.

Loki was bored beyond anything he had ever experienced and it was weighing deeply on his mind—yes Frigga had made sure he was comfortable even delivering chairs and small bed, but it did not feel right—he was growing tired of the prisoners in the cells next door and spent the next day's plotting how to decapitate them. A week later a new prisoner was added to the cell across from him and Loki was more than interested in this new cell-mate.

"Get in there now, and don't try to escape, it would be the stupidest thing you would ever do." A guard told the newest prisoner.

"Well, well, well what do we have here?" Loki asked the guard. "Odin continues to bring me new friends."

"Quiet!" the guard yelled. He locked the new prisoner in the cell and went back to his post.

Loki studied the prisoner carefully. The inmate was slight in build and had hair a little longer than Loki's, but in the eyes of the convict, there was pure strength, determination, and audacity.

The inmate paced slowly, to anyone it would look as though it was just an impatient walk, but to Loki he could see the real purpose behind such actions. It was to measure the cell and plot the way out of it. Loki admired the futile plot, but soon grew tired of merely observing. He decided to find out what the prisoner was like personality wise, he already observed the strength with which the prisoner had, but he wanted to know if this new addition would cause problems for him.

"I hope you're not going to be leaving so soon after just arriving." Loki told the prisoner

The prisoner didn't respond so Loki tried again.

"Are you going to ignore me the entire time you're here? After all, that would be considerably rude." Loki taunted

Finally the prisoner stopped pacing and slowly turned around to face Loki.

"I don't speak to people like you." the prisoner responded

"What? Charming and handsome?" Loki retorted

"No" the inmate told him, "People that are complete asses."

"Well…thank you for noticing." Loki said with a smirk

The prisoner rolled their eyes and turned back around to study the runes keeping the door securely locked until the day might come that it would open.

The alarm that prisoners had broken free broke through the silence of the night ringing through the dungeon loudly. Loki awoke abruptly and annoyed, how stupid could these prisoners be that they think they could possibly stand a chance of success at escaping.

The prisoner across from Loki's cell was looking around intently at the riot going on. Loki could see something in the prisoner's eyes, a glint he knew all too well, mischief. This prisoner was up to something and he wanted to know what. He watched as the prisoner walked calmly to the locks and somehow broke free of the cell. Loki walked to the locks on his own cell and made an image of him escaping, just like he predicted a guard ran forward and tried to stop the mirage of Loki. He always thought it was amusing how no one tell the difference between reality and his mirages. Loki switched places with the guard so fast it seemed almost surreal.

Loki followed the prisoner to a door that would lead out and away from the fighting in the dungeons, as he walked he saw a guard come up behind the prisoner that he followed. The guard raised his sword to strike and Loki grabbed the guards dagger and stabbed him in the side/

"Do not follow me deceitful one, or I will slice your throat." The prisoner turned and threatened him

"Well that is incredibly hurtful; after all I did just save your life" Loki countered "Besides you could use my help getting out of here."

"I need not your help liar" the former prisoner spat out

"Oh but you do, I know how to leave undetected." Loki said in a silky tone

"How do I know you won't betray me?"

"You don't; however, I can get you out of here and I swear I won't betray you just yet." Loki said simply

"Very well then," The prisoner stated hesitantly, "get me out of here."

"What is your name?" Loki asked as if it had just occurred to him that he should ask it.

"Aadya," she said, "My name is Aadya."

They ran out the door and towards the skiffs that Loki would use to get them out of Asgard and to his freedom.
