Please read The Directors Daughter before this story, otherwise it will make no sense. :D

"And so my youngest son returns from the grave, to be brought in front of my wife and I bound in chains and with a child!" Odin stared down at Loki, who was being forced to kneel in front of the Allfather by his brothers hand on his shoulder, Thor was holding Hella in his other arm as the toddler looked around with a fist in her mouth.

"I am no son of yours..." Loki snarled, flinching as Thor's fingers bit in to his shoulder, he dare not look anywhere but the floor in fear that his eyes would find his son, Váli. "But I do not deny that I have brought the mortal child with myself." He ignored the sour remark from Sif and continued. "She is the adopted daughter of the mortal I bonded with..." Once more he had to pause to let the gasps and whispers settle down. "She is dying, their medicine can not cure her... I ask that she be healed in the house of healing then returned to Midgard to be with the woman."

The silence that followed was deafening, he could hear every breath he took as his heart pounded in his chest. He tried his hardest not to remember the screams of his children as they were torn away from him, or the look of horror on Váli's face when he realised what he had been forced to do. He tried not to picture what they could do to Hella, he was sure they would not dare hurt an innocent child again just to punish him.

"So this child is not your offspring?" Odin asked, standing up and staring down at the Child. Hella glared up at the Allfather and took her fist out of her mouth, she wriggled to be put down but only managed to make Thor smile in delight at her. "Why do you care to have her healed? She is nothing to you, as you yourself have said that mortals are insignificant creatures, yet here you bring a child!"

Loki wanted to stand up and strangle the man that he once believed was his father, but instead he took a deep breath and let it out silently, cursing the Allfather to the very depths of Hell! "Her name is Hella..." He was once again forced to pause, the gasps were really starting to grind his nerves. "No, she is not my daughter, but I would be proud to say she was!" He flinched once more as Thor's fingers bit deeper in to the skin of his shoulder, the older Asgardian trying to make him calm his temper.

Hella finally managed to wriggle free from Thor's grasp as he tried to control Loki and landed on the ground. Pushing herself up to her feet she stared up at the Allfather once more before stumbling over to Loki, not used to walking in the different atmosphere of Asgard. Turning to face Loki she started to make a grabbing motion with her hands, before tapping her stomach and pouting.

"I don't have any food sweetie." Loki said, cursing the fact his hands were bound as Sif started to walk towards the child. He glared up at the female warrior as he struggled with his binds, not wanting any of them to touch his daughter! Hella stood her ground and stared up at Sif, so used to strange people being around her that she was not afraid, more just annoyed that Loki did not have a banana for her.

"And what does the little miss eat?" Sif asked, bending down so that she was closer to Hella's height and staring in to her eyes.

Hella blinked a few times before glancing at Loki and then looking back at Sif, she frowned for a few seconds before signing the word banana.

"What did she just do?" Sif asked, quickly taking two steps back as if Hella had just cursed her, making Loki laugh whilst rolling his eyes.

"It's sign language, she just asked for a banana." Loki said once his chuckles had subsided. "Hella can not talk, she communicates with her hands. Her muteness comes from the disease that is killing her." Loki watched as Váli nervously walked up and placed a banana in Hella's hands.

"Take the child away!" Odin demanded, making Loki scream out no and once again fight against his binds.

"DON'T TOUCH HER!" Loki roared, his hands flashing green as he tried to fight to free himself to collect Hella to himself. Hella instantly noticed the change in the air and snuggled up against Loki, refusing to remove her arms from around his neck, silently grizzling.

"Father please!" Thor said, stepping up and staring at Odin. "She is an innocent, brought here for help. Please, I know this girls mother, I have fought alongside her..."

"If she was so determined to get her bastard healed then she should have come with you!" Sif hissed, finally collecting Hella from a distraught Loki and holding the wriggling toddler. Moving away from Loki, Sif waited for Odin to give her more instructions on what to do with the child.

"You said you bonded with this woman?" Frigga asked, finally finding her voice in the commotion of the court. Standing up she walked down from the throne, gently taking Hella from Sif's arms and sending the warrior away. "Odin, I believe this is a family matter... Please, send the others away... Let them subject themselves to fantasies of what happens next, but please do not let them see it." Smiling at Hella, Frigga jiggled her up and down on her hip, watching as the toddler started to snack on the banana once more.

With only a hand gesture, Odin emptied the room of everyone but family, leaving Váli in the room to be apart of this discussion now that he only a few summers off being an adult. "Let your brother go." Odin said, looking at Thor. "I am sure he won't try anything..."

As soon as Thor let the cuffs fall from Loki's hands the god of mischief rushed over to Frigga and pulled Hella from her arms, checking to make sure the child was safe he pressed a small kiss on her forehead. "Callie would have murdered me if you were hurt." He mumbled, placing the child back in to Frigga's arms.

"A granddaughter!" Frigga said, smiling at Loki softly. "You had to destroy a planet in order to give us a gift of a granddaughter?" She asked, noting how the god blushed and looked away.

"This does not excuse his behaviour, he must be punished!" Odin said, trying to ignore how happy Frigga looked with the child in his arms. "Not only do you try to destroy our world, but then you took the fight to an innocent world? And for what, Loki? To prove what?"

"THAT I AM WORTHY!" Loki yelled, glaring at Odin. "That I wasn't some plan gone wrong! I fought so hard to claim that crown, not only did I learn to fight I learnt how to be a strong leader and not make hasty choices! Instead I was lied to and lived a life of pure hell!"

"You had a good life..."

"YOU MURDERED MY CHILDREN! YOU STAND HERE TALKING OF A GRANDDAUGHTER WHEN YOU ALREADY MURDERED ONE! OH BUT MY CHILDREN DO NOT MATTER, DO THEY FRIGGA ODINSON? THEY ARE ONLY THE OFFSPRING OF A FROST GIANT!"

"Take him to the dungeons." Odin said, turning his back on Loki and inspecting the child in his wife's arms. "The child will be healed and returned to Midgard as soon as we can. You may not see her, nor may you have any visitors. We bound you once, Loki Laufeyson, we will do it again..."

"I am running out of children for you to use their innards as my chains!" Loki snarled, before being chained once more. He would be paraded through the castle between four guards to show the Asgardian society that he had been captured once more, before being dumped in the dungeons for who knew how long.

But at least Hella was going to be cured, and as long as he lived, so would Callie.

Now I know there have been discussions over who Váli is related to, some say he is actually Odin's son whilst other's say he is Loki's son. For this story we will go with him being Loki's son.
