Chapter One: Punishment.

"Loki Laufeyson. You are here to-day to be punished for your crimes against Midgard. While it is understood your actions were committed whilst under the mind-controlling effects of the Tesseract and Thanos you still caused suffering and great harm to Midgard. You have yet to show true remorse for your actions on Midgard. You claim this is due to the fact you remember little of your actions but you must still be punished. It causes me great pain to have to punish you so. You were once my son. You will return to Midgard and you will aid in the world's recovery. You magic will be sealed and we shall provide you with a new physical identity. You are to have little to no contact with your brother. Whilst on Midgard you will repent for your crimes. We will be watching. For tonight you will return to your cell and in the morning your punishment will begin." declared Odin gazing down at the demigod who he once called son. All around the chamber mutters broke out about how this was hardly a proper punishment and how Midgard will suffer from Odin's actions. One such person who also felt wronged by Loki planned his own little bit of revenge on the God of Mischief.

Loki nodded to show his understanding and permitted himself to be led off. Loki knew he was getting off lightly. He knew of his crimes against Asgard and that this banishment would protect him from those who would punish him personally on Asgard. He no longer had the protection of the royal family and the name Odinson. He just hoped in time Thor could forgive him. It was all he had left. Well almost. Keeping his head down Loki hid a smirk that crossed his lips. Steal his magic and then abandon him on Midgard. Not a hope.

(^*^)

Thor looked toward his father after Loki had been led out. "Father what did I miss? I have just got back from Midgard and was informed that Loki's sentencing was to be passed. What is your ruling?"

"I have chosen a punishment to suit Loki's crimes. Do not worry. That said I feel it best if you were to return to Midgard and tell them all has been taken care of. Also this would be a good time to represent our people by aiding them in the healing of their world." Odin proclaimed to his eldest son and heir.

"Yes father I shall return straight away. When I return might I be permitted to visit Loki?"

"Of course Thor." Odin agreed failing to mention that by the time Thor returns Loki would be long gone.

(^*^)

That evening whilst waiting for Thor to visit Loki preformed an enchantment that would give him access to the majority of his powers whilst stuck on Midgard. The fools did not understand magic. Not truly. Looking up Loki smiled at the sound of approaching footsteps. He had just reached the end of the spell. All that is left is for him to spill his own blood, a part that can wait till Thor is done visiting. "Thor I am glad you are here. There is something I need you to know." Loki started when who he believed to be his brother was close enough to hear him.

"I am not your brother. I am vengeance." said the approaching person, "and I am here for mine."

"Do not be stupid. I saw Thor arrive. He will be here soon. You will not get away with whatever you have planned." Loki sneered at the approaching Asgardian.

"That is what you think. Thor has already left back for Midgard, Liesmith. I will have my vengeance and so will others." entering the cell he smiled looking Loki up and down. "And we will enjoy it." he added with a lick of his lips. Loki's eyes widened. He knew there was myths on Midgard claiming him to have sired monsters but by their time frame he was still only in his early twenties. He was only around twenty-two Midgardian age. And as a prince he had been wary of laying with others for fear of being used. This could not be happening. Thor and Odin would never permit it. Loki's eyes widened further as he realised yes this was happening. With a whimper Loki bit down on his tongue and prayed the night would end soon. By the time his third visitor left after using him Loki had forgotten all about his spell which was now complete from the amount of his blood in the cell from the abuse. Loki closed his eyes and cursed his brother for leaving him on the night of his sentencing. Did he not care?

With a bang Thor arrived in Avengers Tower, formally Stark Towers. "I am back." he declared to the gathered Avengers.

"So you are." agreed Tony, "I thought you were returning to Asgrad for Loki's sentencing?"

"I did. I arrived too late. The sentence had already been passed down when I arrived. I shall visit my brother in his prison next time I return. The All-Father felt it best I return and aid Midgard in healing from the wounds caused by Loki. I agree with him. This way I can also visit the lovely Lady Jane." replied Thor to the questions both asked and not.

"That's nice an all." agreed Clint, "but what punishment has Loki got?"

"You know I forgot to ask. The All-Father agreed I could see him when I return so I am assuming he is imprisoned on Asgard for quite a time." replied Thor feeling stupid for not finding out his brother's exact punishment. The other Avengers nodded at this response. As long as he was out of their way it did not matter really.

(^*^)

The next morning Loki appeared before the All-Father for his punishment to start. His body used and hurting and his spirit broken. He truly regretted his action's now and at the same time wished he had done worse. They would pay in time. All seven of them.

"Loki it is time for your exile on Midgard to begin do you have any final words?" Odin asked the younger God. Loki mutely shook his head. "Fine then. You are hereby sentenced to life on Midgard with out your magic until such a time as you are deemed worthy of its return and your place here on Asgard. Are you positive you have no final words?" Again Loki shock his head. Odin nodded before performing the banishment of Loki Laufeyson.

Loki opened his eyes and pushed himself into a seating position. Looking around him he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. Central Park, really. Well he supposed it made sense. The war did center around New York. Poor city. Brushing himself off he moved over to a pond to see what features the All-Father had given him and what needed to be changed. Loki was not impressed with what he saw. His new body had shoulder length filthy blond hair, murky brown eyes and sickly pale skin. His body was also border line obese. No Loki was not pleased with his new features. The worst part was his magic was not strong enough yet to do more than change the colours of his person. With a decisive nod Loki changed his hair back to black, his skin to his former pale white glow and his eyes back to their shocking green colour. As much as he hated Odin the features the All-Father had raised him with were quite favourable. All he had to do now was fix the weight problem his body now had. He was dressed in a blue hoodie and jeans. Patting down the pockets Loki wondered if he was to be abandoned without any aid. With a smile he pulled out a note from Frigga.

We have provided you with an apartment paid for the next three months and a job to help you make a start on your new life. Love Frigga.

Loki sighed as he read the address. Somehow he doubted the apartment and job were going to be suitable lodgings and work for a prince. Making his way through the streets he started to make plans about what he would need to do. First would be fit in and start his new life. Next fix is body. He enjoyed being fit and capable of causing problems. Finally help heal the mess he accidentally caused.

Arriving at his apartment Loki was not surprised to find it in poor condition. It was more of a studio flat with the living area and bedroom all done into one. Up a small flight of stairs on a landing was the kitchen with the bathroom being through a door off to the side. It was a decent sized place but not something even Thor would use for a night. Picking up a file off of the table in the seating area Loki flipped through it and read up on his new job. Loki was not to pleased to find he was to be a cleaner at Lenox Hill Hospital. He had never had to clean before in his life. Not after others. Seeing that he had to be in the hospital in an hour, Loki headed out. Best find the place and start his day and his new life.

Walking past a gym Loki smiled knowing now how he was going to take care of his weight. His body would be healed fully in a few days thanks to magic so he could start working out then.

Eight hours later Loki was ready to collapse. He was exhausted. Working seven hours straight was not easy. Especially when he had never done such work before. His new name was Lucas Lorrain and he apparently had no degrees and was working five days a week at seven hours a day for minimum wage. So his new plan now involved getting a better education so he can move up in the world. He was still only twenty-two so he had his whole life ahead of him. This was going to be a difficult healing process.

Getting home Loki happily collapsed on his bed to sleep.
