When me and Thor got to the landing point, where Heimdall watches over the realms, I was immediately pushed down to the ground, the Tesseract out of my hand. My head cracked against the cold floor harshly, making me bleed a bit. Although, I probably deserve it.

"My son." I weakly lifted my head off of the ground, but I could only see gold boots standing in front of me. I put my head back down, not saying anything for my mouth was bound with a metal gag.

I knew that they wouldn't understand, or believe me, that the Chitauri took advantage of my confusion, the self-loathing I have of my heritage, and my grief.

They do not understand what the Chitauri are capable of. They tortured me, a god, with whips and chains, pulling my nails off one. At. A. Time. However, I did not say anything that would give anything away about Asgard. I am the one that protected it.

Now, I stand in front of fath- no, the All-Fathers, throne. Waiting for my punishment to be named. Waiting for the slightest trace of regret, or sorrow in Odin's eyes. I know he saw what happened to me. Well, at least Heimdall did when Odin asked what was transpiring in the universe and of my whereabouts.

He knows none of this is my fault.

"Remove his muzzle." Odin ordered, Frigga standing beside her husband.

Two guards removed his muzzle, then stepped back behind Loki.

"Loki Laufeyson, give an explanation for your actions." Odin said.

Loki didn't answer, his throat was constricting against the tears he had buried for years.

"Answer me!" Odin raised his staff and brought it down onto the ground, startling all but Loki.

His eyes started to burn.

"Very well." Odin said, sounding like he had given up.

"Do you accept any just punishment that may befall you, Loki Laufeyson."

Loki nodded. Frigga looked on, worry in her eyes. Thor's eyes hardened a bit.

"Your punishment, for your lies and deceitfulness, is that your lips shall be bound shut together by cord. You shall not be able to cut nor tear at this, for it will not break. Understood?"

Loki nodded.

Odin motioned for two guards. They stopped in front of Loki, one holding a silver platter with a needle with the leather already threaded through, the other about to grab his chin to hold him still during this act of punishment.

Loki's eyes widened, and looked frantically at his not-brother, and cried to him.

"All-Father! Wait! Please," he lowered his voice to sound more in control, and not hysterical, "let Thor sew my lips shut. Accept this as my last wish."

Odinson thought for a moment before turning to Thor and nodding. Thor walked down to the bottom of the steps. He stopped in front of Loki, keeping eye contact with him, as he put out his hand for the needle. The guard handed it to him.

Thor took his chin between his thumb and index finger to hold him in place. When the needle was touching where the sewing would start, he leaned down and whispered something that made Loki's eyes grow wide.

"You shall feel no love here, Brother."

Loki opened his mouth to snap a reply back, when Thor pierced his lip without warning.

~~~~I was going to stop here but decided not too XD Thank me later :P~~~~

Loki lay down in his cell, his hands tracing the pattern of cords that kept his mouth shut, and his screams in.

Thor had confused him greatly with his unusual behavior. Odin had named him Loki Laufeyson, signifying, to him, that he was no longer considered an Odinson. Tears burned into his eyes, this time though, he let them fall.

~~~Laufeyson~~~Laufeyson~~~~
