Welcome to my first ever fanfiction, it was caused by a long night playing on omegle and a stupid lack of tiredness. I regret it slightly but I might as well put it up anyway. This first chapter... I don't know it might be slightly similar to a fanfiction I've read in the past or something I've dreamt. I can't remember D: It just feels familiar. I don't know. Oh well off we go. Please be kind.

I own nothing and nobody.

Chapter 1

"Please, I want to see Thor. Get him, Please" Loki shouted impotently into the darkness of his cell. The guards had retreated from his new home quickly after depositing him there and chaining him to the wall. Thankfully they had also removed the hateful muzzle and taken it with them. With his words now free to flow from him, he didn't waste time. He needed to warn the All-father that Thanos would come to Asgard looking for the tesserect and, Loki swallowed in nervous terror, for Loki himself.

Nobody came to his cell for three days and for three days Loki called for someone, anyone to hear him. His voice was rough and his throat raw by the time the guards returns. They didn't respond to his pleas for help and when he attempted to grab one of them that had strayed too close he was rewarded with a sharp kick to the ribs which further aggravated his remaining injuries. He cried out and moved away from the guards as much as his chains would allow. Though he never stop begging for Thor.

Some time after the guards left Loki fell into a fitful sleep, he dreamt of darkness and falling as he always did. He awoke only when the metal of the heavy cell door creaked as it was opened. Loki sat up slowly, his arms instinctively wrapping around his bruised ribs. The light that shone from the corridor outside his cell bathed Thor in light making him look more like the being Loki remembered from childhood. Thor had always shone, he was loved by all in Asgard, he was nothing like Loki himself. Thor stood in the doorway for a moment, taking in the sight of his brother chained and defeated. He moved forwards and knelt in front of Loki. Loki for his part seemed to be lost in his own mind.

"Loki, the guards informed me that you wished to see me" Thor prompted waiting patiently for the reason he had been called, Loki was not to know he was going against the All-father's wishes by seeing him. Loki flinched away and for a moment there wasn't a hint of recognition in his eyes. Suddenly Loki gained control of himself and started talking "Brother, please. You must listen. The allies I made after I fell into the void, they are coming." Loki was practically panting trying to get Thor to see. "The leader of the Chitauri, his name is Thanos, when He found me I was nothing and nobody, He gave me everything and asked much in return." Thor could see that Loki was terrified, though his eyes remained locked onto Thor as if trying to give weight to his words. Loki continued "He desired the tesserect,which I was to find and retrieve for Him. I failed and He will be unhappy with me but that doesn't matter now. He will come here looking for the tesserect. Thor, Listen carefully, this being, Thanos, He is unlike anything I have ever encountered before. I do not think that if He were to attack Asgard we would win, you have to warn the All-Father, tell him to hide the tesserect somewhere, somewhere far from here, please brother."

Thor listened to the words that poured from his brother's lips. He was concerned to say the least, Loki was nothing if not brave in the face of an enemy so for him to be so terrified of one being. Thor could not bear to think about what it might mean. Thor tried to placate his brother who seemed to be working himself into a state of panic, "Brother you must calm yourself, I will speak with father and he will do what is best. Please brother try and rest now." Thor moved closer to Loki and placed his hand on the raven locks of his brother, he caressed his brother's hair just as he had done whenever Loki had come to him during the night after suffering through a nightmare. Loki leant into the soft touch and whispered, "Will you stay Thor? Just for a little while. Please"

"Of course Loki" Thor moved into a more comfortable position and resumed stroking his brother's hair until he heard Loki's breathing even out as he fell into sleep. Thor stayed there for quite a while thinking about what to do with the information he had just been given. He waited until Loki was deeply asleep and wouldn't be disturbed by his movements before rising from his place on the floor and quietly leaving his brother alone in the cell once more.
