To my great suffering...sigh...I don't own any of these characters.

This is my first fanfic and also the first time someone will read my work so I am super nervous but I love constructive criticism so please leave your thoughts and I hope you enjoy! My plan is to upload a new chapter once a week every Friday. We shall see:)

Slight AU where instead of falling from the Rainbow Bridge in the first Thor movie, Loki is pulled up and reconciles with Odin (somewhat) and Thor. Odin is still King of Asgard as of now, while Thor is still trying to find himself and Loki has taken up the task of training to be the next King's (Thor's) advisor and second in command.

Asgard-

"They still fear us?" Odin asked gruffly.

Thor knew well enough his manner was a result of the recent scout reports. Some of the humans had accepted the claim of their rulers as to Asgard's wish to protect and make amends for their behavior in their Mexico of New, but others were not convinced, fearful. They were searching for ways to bar themselves from Asgard, as they did not understand the dangers the other realms posed to them without the protection of the gods.

"Father, they do not understand us or our world. Loki and I caused destruction to their lands, and terror to their people. They have no proof as to our claim of protection." Thor answered patiently. Over the many times Father had questioned the mortals in the past, the only sufficient response had been patience.

"I am tired of their simpering. The only reason I have allowed it for so long is because of your love for them but it is growing to be a nuisance. I have decided what must be done. You speak of their need for assurance, then they shall have it, on my terms. Send for Heimdall."Odin ordered in a voice that spoke of none questioning him before, as I hadn't on many occasions that had required it.

I have grown out of this blind obedience though, hadn't I? This need to prove to him that I was worthy by allowing his whims without pause or voicing concern?

"What of this plan?" The spark that had entered Father's eyes was nowhere near comforting.

"I have no obligation to explain it to you, son of mine," Odin replied sternly, narrowing his eyes on me. I could feel him trying to discard my hesitation.

"I disagree, Father. I have given them my word to protect them. Any plans you have in concern to them are relevant to that protection." I was not going to cower. I had proved that my bind rage did not control me anymore. There is no need to hold back how his attitude toward Midgard unsettled me so.

Father huffed," I will humor you only because you would have discovered my plans soon enough. I want Heimdall to look to Midgard for those who are persuasive to their fellow mortals, and summon them. The Bifrost is to be repaired in less than a fortnight and that is when they will be brought to Asgard. They will stay with us for as long as I deem necessary, and then will return to Midgard to be voices of reason among their worlds blind fright. They will then be appointed Ambassadors of Midgard and will come to us if any more rebellious fools rise again." He finished with a smug look, as though no possible objection could be made.

"And you have discussed this with their rulers?" I asked, afraid I already knew the answer.

"Why would I do such a thing," Father asked, growing irritated, as though to do so was uncouth.

"Because those you wish to bring here are not your people! They are the people of another realm, who deserve to know where they are going to be taken and have a say in this plan. You were not going to contact those you were to appoint Ambassadors either, were you?" I asked in disbelief. How I had been blind to Father's arrogance before I know not. It was not the educated arrogance of a king as I had once believed. It was that of a man who thought all others were nothing better than an ant under his boot.

"Ridiculous. The rulers should be thankful I am wasting my time solving their poor governing. As for the chosen, they are to experience the wonders of Asgard and will be pampered and cared for more than they deserve given their place. They will be thanking me as well."

"He's serious" was all I could think as I stood in shock.

"As you wish, I will send for Heimdall myself. See yourself out." With that he rose from behind his desk and strode through the doors, no doubt heading to put his plan into action.

My mind raced as I tried to think of a way to deter him until all I had was a headache, and with that I knew the only thing that would help.

I must speak with Loki.
