So I wrote most of this before I saw Thor 2 I highly recommend and will do my hardest to keep spoilers from changing this story from how it was created (by rubberbandgirlme) using only the trailers :)

Disclaimer: I own nothing you recognize

Frigga glanced down the hallways, empty all but for a few guards milling about, they obviously were unaware of her presence because they were talking about Loki's magic.

"It's all an excuse, magic is for healing, all those tricks are mere fear."

"Aye, too sheltered in his youth, at least Prince Thor embraced true combat."

Frigga breathed in and out slowly to refuse the will to turn them into goats for their insults. But she wasn't to show a soul where she was going.

She noted the way Loki was huddled in the corner, his face hidden into his knees as he let out a soft chuckle and stroked his arm.

"Loki?" Frigga asked softly. Then she saw it, a drop of blood fell from his thin chin and her eyes widened.

"I wouldn't, your highness…he's become a bit unstable." The guard warned.

Frigga nodded, "I can handle myself thank you…you are dismissed."

The guard gave a small curt nod and left the prison.

Frigga raised her hand to the cell wall and it evaporated at her touch.

Loki didn't even notice her, he seemed busy but he wasn't talking.

"Loki, it's time." She whispered. Touching Loki's shoulder she screamed. Loki jumped and she cradled his head to her chest as she began to weep.

moments earlier….

It is a clever idea…do you remember the steps?

Tony rolled his eyes but continued to shape the metal and douse it in the appropriate chemicals. "Almost…"

Don't fret, I know them.

"So how are you getting out then? This suit idea is fine but it would take months after I get out to perfect it for space travel. And I have no idea where Asguard is let alone the prison."

Calm yourself, I can feel your heartbeat quickening. I just want you out of that cave for now...

"Does it still hurt? Is it itching? It might get infected…" Tony mumbled to himself.

Yensin glanced over at Tony, "It's important to take a break every now and then."

Tony was in his own little world as always so Yensin took out the board and dice.

I will be fine Tony I-

Tony felt a warm embrace and he sighed as he let go of the connection. He turned to Yensin. "What's this?"

"A break…you definitely need one." Yensin grinned.

Tony sat down and rolled.

After a few minutes of game Tony glanced up at the man he had barely paid attention to since Loki had connected with him. "You got a family?"

"Yes…and I will see them when I leave this place." Yensin smiled softly. "And you?"

Tony paused, he thought of four names; Loki, Rhodey, Pepper and Happy. He shrugged slightly but didn't find the words to explain it...

Yensin chuckled, "So you are a man who has everything, and yet nothing."

Tony paled slightly at the comment but managed to flicker a bit of a smile. His thoughts went immediately to how far away Loki was now…how fragile their relationship was and what would happen if Thor or Bruce told anyone… They might have already… Pepper already knew, Rhodey had seen them incidentally and just shrugged claiming he knew it all along. Tony grinned at the memory of trying to explain pansexuality to his best friend who simply nodded and covered his face in his hands. Yet again they didn't know Loki was planning on invading New York at the time...

"My baby." Frigga cried in a whisper.

Loki embraced her warmth, relaxed even in the first time since he was sent to this wretched place.

She let him go after a few more minutes of the embrace and then cupped his cheeks. With a sharp blade and a few murmurs his lips were no longer bound, infected and they even partially healed.

"Listen to me carefully my son, I do this so that you can rewrite your own wrongs. Take refuge but do not attract attention. I will do my best to help shroud your essence but they will be looking for you."

"You're helping me escape?" Loki frowned.

Frigga kissed his forehead, "I am helping you forgive."

She pulled Loki to his feet and he disappeared.

Tony was pushed to his feet as men armed to the teeth broke into their set up. One man walked calmly behind them. His sense of entitlement screamed of his stature. Glancing to Tony with bored and tired eyes, "Relax." He said with a slight accent.

Tony obliged cautiously, slowly lowering his hands. He exchanged a worried look with Yensin as the bald master strode around the room. "The bow and arrow was once the pinnacle of weapons. It allowed the great Genhis Khan to rule from Asia to the Mediterranean. But today, whoever holds the latest Stark tech rules these lands..." The man stopped short of Tony and eyed the battery close by with a weak chord attached inside of the man's chest.

"Why have you failed me?" The man asked in Arabic.

Yensin inhaled unsteadily, "He is close...he will soon chose to aid you."

"Soon you say? Soon the people searching for us will discover our stocks of weapons and my time to strike will have passed... I have no more time to waste with this man."

Yensin was pushed onto his knees, "What did I ask you to do?" The man grinned eerily. He picked up metal tongs and from the heat of the fire in the center of the cave he picked up an ember.

"To get him to build the Jericho missile." Yensin answered timidly.

"What did you fail to do?"

Yensin paused and the man moved the ember close as another man held his head down on a table. The man began to pry open Yensin's mouth with his fingers and Tony panicked. Accidentally recalling the memory of Loki's threaded lips he yelled out and all guns moved directly to him.

The master glared up at him and dropped the metal tongs, the ember rolled in the dirt before going cold.

"I need him...good assistant." Tony managed.

"Assistant for what?" The master mused.

Tony bit his tongue and tried to stop the trembling of his lips as the sharp memory played out in his mind. "I will build you the Jericho Missile."

The master paused and his smile widened, clapping his hands together he waved men over, "Get him supplies!"

Yensin was released and Tony had less than a minute to formulate the materials for his escape. A blurry connection in his mind made him pause, it wasn't a dirext one. But he could feel something warm cradling his head and lulling him back and forth. A snip and something released a stitch.

Yensin looked at Tony expectantly and Tony nodded, "I'll need a workbench, gloves, wielding mask, wielding tools; I don't care if it's acetylene or-"

Frigga wiped a tear from her cheek and cut the final stitch, Loki didn't open his lips as they were still stinging.

"I want you to find a place far away...somewhere you'll have time to collect yourself...I will work on releasing your punishment." Frigga caressed her son's cheek sadly.

Loki gave her a slight nod before letting go of her hand and disappearing from the prison in a flash of green.

The second he was out the alarm sounded and Frigga hurried up the stairs to get Odin. Guards rushed past her and Thor strode down the hall with a worried look and upon seeing mother with blood on her hands he held his breath. She gave him one glance and ignored his pressence, Thor struggled to catch up with her.

"Mother I need you to know that I-"

Frigga held her hand to Thor's lips to silence him, "I don't wish to speak of it my son, although you must know that such treatings are intolerable. I will not allow either one of you to be tortured."

Thor nodded gravely. "I understand mother..." He looked to the guards rushing down the golden halls. "He won't get far...Heimdall has shut the Bifrost."

Frigga tsked. "The Bifrost isn't the only way around the realms."

Thor frowned, "Did you teach him the pathways?"

"We explored them in earlier years..." Frigga admitted shortly.

"Odin will know it was you..."

She smiled weakly. "He knew the second he laid hands on Loki that it would be me."

So what did ya think? In my opinion a bit of a short (word count) chapter
