Hi, a shy Ghost here *waves*. Okay well first I want to say that I normally don't write stories in English, especially not long ones, so I am sorry if there is some misspelling and grammatical problems with the text. Hopefully it will not be enough to ruin the story.

Second I will say that Cara is my own character. I use her in different stories where she travels around different worlds. She started in the universe of Harry Potter, and after that she has been in a lot of other places. And well she knew magic and some other things too, things she has learned on her travels.

And third I will just say that there is kind of a part one to this in Swedish, I may translate it one day, but all you need to know is that Loki and Cara has met before. In kind of Thor 1. She is there, they fall in love, Loki let goes in the end and falls down into the abyss, and she think he dies. That's more or less the story. The rest will be explained during this one.

Fourth is that I will mix the story between the comic, movies and Norse mythology. So a bit of all. And I will try to keep the characters somewhat to themselves, but I can't promise anything.

That was all (I think), I hope you read the story and enjoy it :)

Thor was frustrated, to put it mildly. If he would be honest he was furious, and the weather outside showed it. The lighting and thunder was chasing each other over the sky. He rarely got angry at his father but in this case he did. Odin had forbid him from seeing his brother.
"Adopted brother" Thor could hear Lokis mocking voice in his head, like he was there with him, but of course he wasn't. No, he was in the special cell his father made for him, a cell where no one was around, not even other prisoners.

Odin had said that Loki would be forced to be alone forever, with no contact with anyone, that was his punishment. And at first Thor had understood that, for what Loki had done he deserved it, not even Thor could deny that. But lately Thor had figured out that Loki wasn't alone all the time, and that was why he was angry. He had seen people walk in and out from the door that lead to Loki's cell. And Thor couldn't understand why all the guards, and in his opinion not nice looking people had access. Especially not when he hadn't. Odin had told him that no one ever needed to see Loki, he should get his food and other things he may need by magic and no one would ever get near him, but he had been lying. What Thor couldn't understand was why? And why he couldn't see his brother.
"Adopted brother" he ones heard the illusion of his brothers voice.

Thor looked at the door that shield Loki from the rest of the world, it was well guarded and he knew that he couldn't get in there, but he wanted, he wanted to talk to Loki. He needed to talk to Loki. Thor needed to try to understand what had gone so wrong, why Loki hated them all. What had happened to him while he was gone from Asgard. And why Loki didn't come back to them. Thor needed answers, but he couldn't get them. He wanted just to see Loki and tell him that he at least didn't hate him, that he was still his family and that he loved him. He wanted to say he was sorry for failing him as a big brother, but his father had forbidden it. Thor clenched his fist before he signed, this was a problem he couldn't face head on, he needed to be smart about this, which wasn't his strongest side, he knew, he would have needed Loki here. He had needed Loki's advice to how he would be able to see him, but that was of course impossible. But then Thor smiled, he hadn't Loki's help, but he could always ask their mother, the greatest queen of them all.

Thor founded his mother in her chambers, not that he had looked anywhere else. When he entered after her permission she turned around to look at him with a bright smile, a smile she only had for him. He knew that he had one special for him and another for Loki.
"Thor" she said and walked over to him and he took her hands and kissed them.
"Mother" he answered and she showed him out to the balcony where she had been standing.
"What gives me the honour?" she asked.
"Can't a child visit his mother without a reason?" Thor said with a laugh.
"Yes he can, but you rarely ever do. And because of tonight's weather I think you have a reason" Frigga said and looked at the thunderstorm outside. Thor rubbed his neck and stood silent for a while. He wasn't sure what he should say to her, or rather how he would say it. Frigga stood patiently next to him, waiting for him to say something. After a few minutes Thor just thought he would cut right to the chase, he was no good with fancy words like his brother or mother.
"Have you seen Loki since his trail?" he asked and Frigga looked a bit surprise at him.
"No I haven't. Your father forbade it." She answered.
"I know he did, I just thought or rather hoped that he would have made an exception for you" Thor said. "You are after all Loki's mother"
Frigga looked out in the storm.
"For Odin that has no value. No one is allowed to see Loki" she sad a bit sad and Thor understood her. "Why are you asking me this?"
"I want to see him. I want to tell him that he isn't alone" Thor said and Frigga smiled bright at him.
"I am so proud of you my son" she took his hands and squeezed them before she got that look she always got when she had an idea, a look that sometimes reminded him of Loki.
"There may be a way"
Thor looked at her, very hopeful.
"But it won't give you much time. Around fifteen minutes" Frigga said and Thor nodded, he took whatever he could get, he just needed to talk to Loki, even if he didn't want to listen to him.
"That will be all I need" Thor answered and his mother smiled.
"I will need a two days to prepare. This is magic I normally don't use" she said and he was about to ask her about it. "Don't you worry about it. I will tell you when I am ready"

Thor walked around on edge, and he complained that the time moved to slow for his friends. His friends who didn't understood why was just puzzled when he didn't say anything. Thor shared everything with them but this time he only said he couldn't say anything. This made them to know even more, but for once Thor didn't budge, he knew that he had to keep it a secret, for Frigga and his sake.

So when a guard called him to his mother's chamber, he just stopped in the middle of his sparring contest with Sif, which made her very confused. He left her at the training grounds without a word and almost run to his mother's side.
Frigga looked far more calmed then Thor, but then she was a queen so she was very careful with showing her feelings.
"Thor" she said when she let him in. "Everything is ready. The spell will put everyone, except you and Loki, in the castle to sleep for fifteen minutes. They will not remember or notice what happens to them. But you must be hurry and leave Loki before the spell wear off."
Thor nodded and smiled at his mother.
"Thank you for this" he said.
"Tell him that I love him too, and that he will always be my son" Frigga said and tried to not let the voice reveal how much she missed her youngest.
"I will" Thor said before he left to get closer to Lokis cell.

Thor had thought of what exact he should say to Loki the past days but he still wasn't sure, so he hoped that he would know when he saw him.
The god of thunder walked passed the sleeping guards and ran down the stairs that was behind. He felt the cold rise from below. But he guessed that wouldn't be a problem for Loki since he was a frost giant.
Thor had a big smile when he took the last step, he should finally she his brother again, after what was almost a year or so.

Then he walked around the corner and stopped. In front of him was a prison cell, and in it was Loki or what he thought was Loki.
Thor couldn't grasp what was in front of him. The cell was covered in what he guessed could be nothing but blood, Lokis blood. More than should be possible, but he guessed that it had got there over time, not all at once, because then Loki would be dead, and he wasn't dead, even if it would have been better.
In the middle of the cell was Loki, even if Thor didn't recognized him, but it could be no one else. Loki was covered in blood as well, but beneath all the blood Thor could see the bruises, broken bones, his ribbs, scars and what he rather would not think off, but couldn't stop thinking off, sperm.
Thor saw the collar that Loki had around his neck, and the cuffs around his hands and ankles. His brother was naked, and he seemed cold, even if that shouldn't be possible.
Thor stepped closer and Loki flinched right away. He seemed not to even see him, or rather not who it was.
"Loki it's me" Thor said and took another step, but Loki just tried to get as far away as he could. Thor didn't know what to do, he was not prepared for this, not at all, and his time was almost up. He didn't want to leave Loki here, he couldn't. He had to do something. Thor stepped forward again, ignoring Loki trying to get away. Thor took a hold of the chain and tried to pull it free from the wall, when Loki started to scream, whatever Thor did seem to hurt him even more. Thor needed a plan and help, but that meant that he needed to leave Loki here for now, how much he hated it, he didn't have a choice.
"Loki I will be back" he said but Loki didn't even see to hear him. Thor walked angry from the cell, before he started to run, he couldn't see Loki like that, he didn't want to see him like that.

Frigga sat on the bed with her hands in her knee, pail as a ghost while Thor walked around, angrily throwing stuff around him. No one of them know how to handle the situation. Thor had gotten back almost six hours ago and first he couldn't even talk about what he had seen. And when he finally did he just got angry, while his mother got sad. He had barely seen Frigga cried but she didn't even try to hide the tears this time. They couldn't understand how anyone could do something like this.
They both thought about Odin, no one said it, but they both understood that he must have known that happened, he was the one that let the people inside the cell.
Thor wanted to run to his father and confront him but Frigga had stopped him.
"If you do that he knew that we knew and we may never be able to help Loki. Odin will just lock him up somewhere else where we may never find him" she said and Thor had given her an angry look but he knew that she was right.
"But we have to do something!" Thor said.
"We will, but we need help" Frigga said.
"From who? Everyone in Asguard hates Loki" Thor said and Frigga didn't say anything in a while.
"Then we get help from outside Asguard" she said and Thor gave her a look, he didn't follow.
"Everyone in the other realms hate Loki too" Thor said, almost cursing his brother for only getting enemies, but then he remembered how his brother looked and he felt guilty.
"Not everyone" Frigga said.
"You mean?" Thor asked and she nodded.
"But she hates us or rather me, she even thinks Loki is dead. I don't think she want to come here end help us" Thor said.
"She may not want to help you, that is correct, but hopefully she will help Loki, and that all that matters" Frigga said. Thor stopped in his step, unsure what he should do. The woman was dangerous and she had threatened to kill him if she ever saw him again. But then again she didn't know that Loki was alive, and maybe that would be enough for her to forget about the last time. And whatever she thought of him, he knew that she had loved Loki, and maybe she could help him somehow.
"I need to talk to Heimdall" Thor said and left the room.
