He had the muzzle on. He hated it, how very uncomfortable it was, the look of it. The restraint of it. He was so tired of being restrained. At least he had enjoyed his little moments of freedom, unlike the brother who was sitting next to him now. Thor was in absolute agony from the looks of it, and Loki's eyes drifted slowly over him, settling at his hands, the hammer. Restraint again. He would smile, but this damn muzzle had a hold of his lips and he couldn't manage to move them enough for that grin he so loved to give.

Thor was thinking about his woman, his mortal. He loved the thought of this, and even now, feeling more vulnerable then he had in a long time, after ths little adventure he would have to pay her a visit..as promised. He wondered if she would be as moved by his visit as she would be where it his brother instead. He let his mind wander at the thought of it and put his boot against the other seat in the car. They were farther from the city now, getting closer to the middle of nowhere so they coud be called home, and Loki assumed he would be punished.

He looked up as the car stopped and Thor brought him out of the car in chains, to the middle of the a field, how very humiliating. He sighed as the lightning came down, and suddenly the were traveling in the sky, and very quickly were once again on the bifrost(which had been rebuilt..good to know.). Thor held him and tried not to linger too long with Heimdall. Loki would have let out a giggle, but it was well muted by the muzzle. He did keep his eyes on the gate keeper though as if in challenge to say he still was not afraid of him. Thor held him tight, looking agitated as if there was anything else in the universe he would rather be doing then this task. Loki shook his head, and with his shoulder gestured in thedirection of the muzzle, He watched Thor contemplate this momentarily, and with a sigh he did remove it. Loki moved his mouth a moment, and took in a deep breath.

"Thank you brother..It is so very nice to be able to breathe once again. That device is a bit cruel don't you think?" Loki gave him the gleening grin.

"Do not speak...you are no brother to me" Thor, not looking at him on the long walk back to the gates of the city.

"Ah, well..no matter you are still brother to me then. You always will be. Blood brothers.."

"You are no blood brother to me Loki, never again.."

He smiled, softly this time, not the harsh playful grin, but a soft smile. "Then we shall be enemies then. Either way, I do love you..no matter what everyone thinks of me."

"Loki..you have tried to murder everyone close to us and destroy worlds and cities. You love no one but yourself..Now be silent, before I muzzle you once again."

Loki bit his lip, repressing a grin, when they arrived to gates, Loki held his head up high. It was all for you idiots he thought, as the citizens stared at him, cursed and threw things, or just looked confused as though they did not know the news from earth yet. He was brought inside the palace and Thor chained him, and then left that bloody hammer on his lap to ensure his temporary immobility. He was gone for what seemed for hours, and it may have been, he had been leaning against the wall resting his eyes. They immediately opened when Thor returned, and he smiled. Thor said nothing as he picked up the hammer and unchained Loki and led him through a courtyard, within sight of many guards surrounding the walls. Loki could still see the sky. The eternally beautiful sky.

"Am I to be executed now? That would be much kinder then confinement you realize.."

"Father..Odin, is still deciding..it may take some time..until then..have a seat..by that rock..the large one in the middle"

Loki had remained perfectly calm until this point. The thought of sitting there all that time, just..chained up, caused a panic he could not help but feel.

"No..no, please do kill me, do not restrain me. Please brother, I beg you it shall be too much to bear" He felt himself being moved against the rock, and he struggled. He cried out in agony as more guards closed in to assist. He felt the metal chains, the twisting metal cutting into his arms and his chest. He struggled again but he was now pretty well locked into place. Loki's black strands of hair were in his eyes now as Thor grabbed his face. "Listen Loki..If I must bring the snake to make you writh with pain, I will..but you will remain here. Your fate will be decided soon.."

"No, no brother kill me! Do it! do not leave me here to rot away!" The tears were welling in his eyes, for all his creulty, he was always on the edge of emotion. He screamed again, as Thor left, and that's how his brother left him. Frightened and alone, and screaming. When he would calm down, then the trickster would come out..and once again Loki would be unrestained. Think now, Loki, you can get yourself out of this..
