A/N;:; I got bored... So I typed this up to entertain myself with the idea so... Enjoy or... Whatever...

Chapter 1: You Have Heart
"Loki, do you know not of what your actions bring?!" Odin snapped. Of course I do father, just a simple prank, child's play really.
"No, I had no idea of what my action would cause. Father, forgive me." Someday, oh some day I will not have to beg for your forgiveness old man. Some day you will kneel before me, sitting upon the throne you once had. Oh yes, someday indeed...
"I am sorry, but you will have to be punished! I will no longer tolerate this behavior from you, Loki. You are hear-by sentenced to a month on Midguard. No powers, and no way to contact anybody from our realm!"
I try to say something, anything that could slither me out of this situation. But before a word comes out of my mouth, I am going across the Bi-Frost.
In a matter of seconds, I land hard on the ground. Ground, is this what grass is? I lift myself up and out of the wretched dirt, swiping it off of my cape. I will make them all pay for this eventually, how dare he send me to this world! He knows how dirty, how ungrateful these disgusting creatures are.
When I look around my surroundings, I can see that I am nearby what looks like a small mortal village. Typical, putting me only a ways out just to make me walk a further distance. Could you be any more of an annoyance All-Father?
If only I had not pulled that one trick, maybe I wouldn't be here. Then again, the reaction of the crowd was worth the punishment. Mortals are all too easy to trick, this month will go by swimmingly. If anything, this is the best punishment I could hope for. Many of the other usually cause fatalities...
After walking around this forest for awhile, I came to a conclusion.
I am lost.
How does a god get lost? Loki, you are useless, a pain, nobody loves you, your-
"Hi there mister." I whip around, only to see a tiny little mortal girl standing before me. Her attire is very... Strange. I thought the mortals were more civilized than to not clothe their children correctly. She smiles up at me, seemingly not afraid though I am much larger than her and could easily harm her.
"What do you want!?" I never have liked children, they are slimy, nasty little things. The only thing good about them is if you tell them to do something, they will actually do it for you.
"You look lost, do you need help?" She says, clutching a small toy to her chest as she says this. I raise my eyebrows at her, why would I ever need help from a pathetic creature like her?
"No, now leave my presence." I try to wave the child off, walking a little more, only to have her follow me.
"You look angry, angry doesn't make friends." Why won't she just leave me alone?
"I do not need friends."
"Everyone needs friends."
"Why do you not go bother your friends then?!"
"I don't have any."
"Pity."
"What does that word mean?" I stop dead in my tracks, sighing in frustration. It is obvious that she is not going to leave, and since I do not have any powers right now, I cannot force her to. May as well make good use of this child.
"The word means sad, basically. Little girl-"
"Anna." I glare at her slightly for cutting me off, but she just smiles at me. Nobody has ever smiled at me like that before...
"Anna, right, is there any place near here that I could stay at for a while?" I have no idea why I would ask her this, she is only a young child, Anna would not know of any place where I could stay, and where I could also hide at the same time.
She seems to think on this, putting a finger on her chin and frowning. Then, without warning, she snaps her fingers and grins up at me.
"There's an old barn behind the orphanage! Come on!" She takes my hand, without my permission I might add, and starts taking me in the opposite direction of where I had been heading before.
"What is an orphanage?" I ask to nobody in particular.
"It's a place where kids with no mommy or daddy go." So parent less children? Most likely uncivilized brats.
"Lovely." She giggles a little.
"You say funny words. What's your name?" She asks, just as we reach upon a small building.
"Loki."
LATER
I would be wrong if I said that this girl is not useful, giving me a small place to stay. Although I would have preferred a place with less rats and other small creatures running around on the floor, this place will do I suppose. It does have a bed, and the little girl has offered to bring me food whenever I wish it. Not as useless as I pegged her to be at first.
"Mr. Loki, I brought you a peanut butter and jelly sandwich!" The little girl, Anna is her name I think, runs in with a small plat e in her tiny hands. I take the plate away from her, not even bothering to say a thank you. She should only be thanked by being in my presence.
I start eating the small thing, oddly enough it taste's good despite the ugliness of it. Anna sits down on the ground in front of me, staring at me with curiosity. The staring is very annoying, and I would yell at her to stop, but it would only lead to tears and snot. I do not feel like dealing with those issues, especially since she is my only source at the moment.
After finishing the food, we both sit and stare at each other in silence. She should have already left by now, why is this thing still here? Does she not know that I do not want her here?
"Child-"
"Call me Anna!" Did she just give me an order? Do not snap Loki, do not snap...
"Anna, why do you not go play with you friends?" Friends, I very much dislike the word. When has anybody ever tried to be my friend? Never, and anytime they try someone goes off and tells them of my past to keep them away.
"I told you I don't have any." My eye twitches in annoyance.
"Can you not make any?"
"I'm trying!" She stamps her foot on the ground, a pout forming on her lips. Oh, so the child has a little temper does she?
"Well try harder!" I finally snap at her, not caring if I make her cry. Who cares about this little insignificant creature, she is simply annoying and gets into your head. It's like this child is designed just to pester you until she gets what she wants! How much more frustrating can she get...
"I would but I don't know what you like!" What I like? Why in Odin's name would it matter what I like? It's not as if you would want to be friends with-...
"You do not mean to become friends with me." It is more of a statement than a question.
"Yeah, you seem nice." She smiles at me for the second time since I met her.
"I am anything but that, Anna." No one has ever tried to be my friend before, and you just as them should not try either.
"Only cause other people say you aren't, but I think you are." She brings her hand up, touching a place on my chest.
"What are you doing?!" I sneer, getting ready to shove her away.
"You can feel it beating, crying, and smiling. Everyone has one, even the coldest and darkest of men could never deny it. No matter what, why, who, when, or where, you have heart." She whispers in a sad tone, then gently takes her hand off of my chest and backs away.
You have heart?
"Where in the nine realms did you learn that?" I have never heard the saying before, but... But I like it.
"My mommy used to say it before she died." Ah yes, I had forgotten that her parents had died. Strange saying her mother had, what exactly does 'You Have Heart' mean? Of course everyone has a heart, that is obvious, but I do not understand the principle of it.
"What does it mean?" Asking a child seems useless, but she understand it much better than I.
"It means that everyone has love and kindness." Then where had my love been?
Anna told me she has no friends, where is her love? She insists on becoming my friend when I could ruin her so easily, if I had my powers she would most likely be dead. If she were my friend I would corrupt her, make her do bad things that seem to not fit her bright personality. Why?
"I have to go, I'll get in trouble if I don't go back. Bye Mr. Loki!" Anna runs out of the small building as fast as her little legs can carry her.
Curious little girl.
THOR POV (One Time)
I watch the young girl leave Loki alone in the structure. He has not harmed her yet, father told us it was a good sign, that Loki is changing for the better. I would be much grateful if the child could help Loki become happy and kind like in our younger days. Maybe then he wouldn't hate my friends so much, maybe he would like to become friends with them!
Loki lays back on the bed that was offered to him, frowning.
"You have heart..." He whispers to himself, before falling asleep.
