[The Next Few moments happened like it was a blur as the secret that Thor has been keeping from his father was that he was going to Jotunheim to demand answers from the King of Jotunheim Laufey and he managed to talk his friends and brother into it and then Odin managed to rescue them and now Thor must pay the consequences]

[Heimdall's Observatory]

[Heimdall stands at the Observatory controls. Odin pulls Heimdall's sword from the control panel and throws it to him. Heimdall backs away.]

''Why did you bring us back? says Thor

''Do you realize what you've done? What you've started? says Odin

''I was protecting my home says Thor

''You cannot protect your friends. How can you hope to protect a Kingdom? [Odin turns to the others] ''Get him to the healing room! says Odin

[Sif, Volstagg and Hogun hurry to help Fandral out of the room.]

''There won't be a Kingdom to protect if you're afraid to act! [Odin stares at him] ''Whatever the cost, the world must know that the new King of Asgard will not be held in contempt says Thor

''That's pride and vanity that talks! Not leadership! Have you forgotton everything that I've taught you? What of a warrior's patience, cunning? says Odin

''While you wait and be patient, the Nine realms laugh at us! The old ways are done. You'd stand giving speeches while Asgard falls says Thor

''You're a vain, greedy, cruel boy says Odin

''And you are an old man and a fool says Thor

[The whole world seems to stop at Thor's words. Odin falls quiet. When he speaks again, there's something terrifying beneath the calmness of his words.]

''A Fool, yes! I was a fool to think you were ready says Odin

[Loki takes a step towards Odin imploringly] ''Father-says Loki

''[Odin turns and gives Loki a look which stops him in his tracks] ''Thor Odinson...You have disobeyed the express command of your King. Through your arrogance and stupidity, you have opened these peaceful realms and innocent lives to the horrors of war. [The Allfather plunges Gungnir into the Observatory's control panel. The turrent turns, the Bifrost energy building along with Odin's rage. It fires, as the Bifrost opens at the end of the Platform, creating a portal behind Thor. Odin turns angrily to his son.] ''You are unworthy of this realm...[Odin rips a disc off Thor's chest] ''Unworthy of your title...[He rips away Thor's cloak.] ''Unworthy of the loved ones you've betrayed. I hereby take from you your powers. [Odin extends his hand towards his son. Mjolnir goes flying from Thor's grasp into Odin's hand.] ''In the name of my father...[A Finger of lightning comes off the hammer and hits Thor distintergrating the right arm of his armor and part of the chest piece.] ''And of his father before...[Another strike disintergrates the remainder of Thor's armor, including the cape and torn away disc on the floor.] ''I cast you out [Odin thrusts Mjolnir before him and with a crack of thunder-Thor is hurled backwards into the open Bifrost and disappears in the vortex. Odin holds Mjolnir in his hand, stares at it bitterly. He closes his eyes, lost in contemplation, whispers something quietly.] ''Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor says Odin

[Runes appear on the side of the Hammer, as if carved into its smooth surface. The runes linger for but a moment, then disappear. Suddenly Odin turns and hurls the hammer into the Bifrost.]

[Healing Room]

[Maeve groans sitting up feeling much better from the burns she got from fighting off the Frost Giants and getting hit by the Destroyer who was defending the Casket Of Winters from the Frost Giants. Maeve hears the door to the healing room open and enters Sif, Volstagg and Hogun carrying a wounded Fandral.]

''Oh my god...what happened? says Maeve

''Fandral was injured by a Frost Giant...[Sif looks at Maeve who was shocked] ''It was Thor's idea He wanted us to go with him to talk to Laufey about how did his people get into Asgard...says Sif

''But it's forbidden and he knew this why would he go against his father's rule? says Maeve

''Because that is the way Thor thinks actually No! [Loki enters the room angry] ''He doesn't think at all just with his stupid muscles...he always has to get into trouble says Loki

''He was only doing what was best for Asgard says Sif

''But at the expense of all of us...[Loki points at Fandral] ''Look at what happened to Fandral he didn't think about what would happened when we went and Now Thor has been banished because of his idiot thinking says Loki

''Banished...when? says Maeve

''Just now...Thor said somethings to Father that has managed to upset the King and what he has done has caused him to be Banished...says Loki

''Wow...I should have went with you somehow to stop you says Maeve

''There was never really stopping him once his mind is made up says Loki

[He stares at her then begins to look at his hand when he remembered what happened on Jotunheim when one of the Frost Giants touched him. Sif looks at Maeve]

''Can you help Heal Fandral says Sif

''Yes...I can heal him says Maeve

[She slowly gets out of bed seeing she was still wearing her gown from the Coronation except that her Blue cloak was hanging on the wall as she slowly makes it over to Fandral. Loki turns to look at her seeing how pale she was from just moving around after her ordeal]

''You really shouldn't over do it...You are still healing yourself says Loki

''I'm fine the Healer Eira told me that I have a Natural healing ability and that it helps me heal when I get injured...I'm all better now says Maeve

[He allows her to see his hunger for her and Longing to take her in his arms and continue making her his and he watches as she places her hands over Fandral's form and a bright blue light appears around him]

''We should never have let him go says Volstagg

''There was no stopping him says Sif

''At least he's only banished, not dead. Which is what we'd all be if that guard hadn't told Odin where we'd gone says Fandral

''How did the Guard even know? says Volstagg

[Loki stares at his arm] ''I told him says Loki

''What? says Fandral

''I told him to go to Odin after we'd left. Though he should be flogged for taking so long says Loki

''You told the guard? says Volstagg

''I saved our lives! And Thor's. I had no idea that Father would banish him for what he did says Loki

''Loki, you're the only one who can help Thor now. You must go to the Allfather and convince him to change his mind says Sif

[Fandral sighs in relief as Maeve heals his wounds and takes her hand in his kissing it] ''Thank you my lady...Your care is surely apprecited says Fandral

''You're welcome...says Maeve

''And if I do, then what? I love Thor more dearly than any of you, but you know what he is. He's arrogant. He's reckless. He's dangerous. You saw how he was today. Is that what Asgard needs from its King? says Loki

[He goes to leave the room. Maeve remembering what she wanted to speak to him about eariler]

''Loki...wait I need to speak with you says Maeve

''I can't speak now I must talk to father and mother...I will listen to you after [He walks to her placing a hand on her face caressing it] ''I promise says Loki

''Okay...says Maeve

[She sees that there was something on his mind as he looks at her in such a angry and longing way and then he leaves the room.]

''He may speak about the good of Asgard, but he's always been jealous of Thor says Sif

''And who's fault is it really why he would be Jealous of him? [Maeve turns to them angrily] ''You do nothing but let Thor do what he did today knowing the risks and the pentilty but you allowed him to walk all over you and you say things like that about Loki...Loki isn't the one who tried to have you killed tonight says Maeve

''She's right Sif...I love Thor like a brother but the way he has been thinking lately isn't what a King should think about...He wouldn't stop fighting after we tried to get him to leave says Fandral

''Laufey said there were traitors in the house of Odin. says Hogun

[The others turn to the unsually quiet Hogun]

''Why is it every time you choose to speak, it has to be something dark and ominous? says Fandral

''A Master of magic could easily bring three Jotuns into Asgard says Hogun

''[The others look to Hogun, understanding the implication] ''No! Surely not says Volstagg

''Loki's always been one for mischief, but you're talking about something else Entirely says Fandral

''Who else could elude Heimdall's gaze with tricks of light and shadow? says Sif

''The ceremony was interrupted just before Thor was named King says Volstagg

[Maeve looks at them in shock truly didn't want to believe that Loki would plan something like an attack from Frost Giants in order to stop Thor from coming King. She leaves the room shaking her head not wanting to believe it]

[Vault]

[Loki heads into the Vault, sees the Casket Of Ancient Winters sitting on its stand. He walks over to it slowly, reaches out to it, lifts it between his forearms off its pedestal. As he does, a blueness spreads from his arms, across his body. The latticework behind the Casket starts to separate, the Destroyer rousing. A Fire starts to glow within it's black metal armor, as it rattles to life, but Loki ignores it-the blueness spreading further, consuming his whole body]

''Stop! says Odin

[Loki turns, sees Odin hurrying into the room, the Destroyer goes motionless, the Latticework rejoining before it. Odin eyes Loki in dismay]

''Am I cursed? says Loki

''No. Put the Casket down says Odin

[Loki sets the Casket back upon its Pedestal, his body quickly returning to its normal form and color. He stares at his father]

''What am I? says Loki

''You're my son says Odin

''What more than that? [Odin doesn't answer. He looks suddenly weary, burdened. Loki sizes him up, realizes the truth] ''The Casket wasn't the only thing you took from Jotunheim that day, was it? says Loki

[Odin looks him in the eye. He can deny it no longer] ''No. In the aftermath of the battle, I went into the temple, and I found a baby. Small for a giant's offspring-abandoned, suffering, left to die. Laufey's son. says Odin

[Loki is sent reeling by the revelation] ''Laufey's son...[He desperately struggles to make sense of it all] ''Why? You were knee-deep in Jotun blood. Why would you take me? says Loki

''You were an innocent child says Odin

''You took me for a purpose, what was it? [Odin doesn't answer and Loki grows upset] ''Tell me! says Loki

''I thought we could unite our kingdoms one day bring about an alliance, bring about a permanent peace...through you. But those plans no longer matter says Odin

''So I am no more than another stolen relic, locked up here until you might have use of me says Loki

''Why do you twist my words? says Odin

''You could have told me what I was from the beginning. Why didn't you? says Loki

''You are my son. My blood. I wanted only to protect you from the truth says Odin

''Because I am the monster parents tell their children about at night? says Loki

''Don't...says Odin

''It all makes sense now. Why you favored Thor all these years says Loki

''Listen...says Odin

''Because no matter how much you claim to love me you could never have a Frost Giant sitting on the throne of Asgard. says Loki

[Odin's body begins to shake, he lifts his hand. It starts to move out of synch temporarily,leaving a trail, the effect of the Odinsleep approaching. Loki doesn't notice as Odin tries to fight it off]

''Listen to me! [Loki strides away towards the exit] ''Loki! says Odin

[Odin starts towards him, when the enormous mental, emotional and physical strain of recent events finally takes its toll. The effect of the Odinsleep consumes him. His entire body now moves out of sync with the rest of the world, leaving trails behind him as he staggers backwards. Odin falls back against the wall, his face contorting in a scream. He collapses to the stone floor. Loki, shocked, hurries to him. He takes Odin in his arms, calls out]

''Guards help please...[The Guards enter the room seeing Odin laying in his arms] ''I don't know what happened...He just fell says Loki

[The Guards gather around him and help him pick him up and take him out of the vault. Loki furious walks out of the vault.]

[Odin's Chambers]

[Frigga sits at her husband's bedside, holding his hand. Odin lies there-looking pale and lifeless, his body and the space around it warped from the effect of the Odinsleep. The walls of the chamber have moved close around him, protecting him like a dark crypt, sealing off any daylight. Loki sits at Odin's side across from Frigga. She speaks sofly to him.]

''I asked him to be honest with you from the beginning. There should be no secrets in a family says Frigga

''So why did he lie? says Loki

''He kept the truth from you so you would never feel different. You are in every way our son, Loki, and we your family. You must know that. [Loki takes this in, stares at Odin] ''You can speak to him. He can see and hear us, even now says Frigga

''How long will it last? says Loki

''I don't know. This time is different. We were umprepared says Frigga

''I never get to seeing him like this. The most powerful being in the Nine Realms lying helpless until his body is restored. says Loki

''But he's put it off for so long now, I fear...[Loki takes her hand. She's grateful, wipes tears from her eyes.] ''You're a good son [Loki sits there, uncertain how to react, uncertain how he really feels.] ''We mustn't lose hope that your father will return to us. And your brother says Frigga

[Loki looks at Frigga, concerned]

''What hope is there for Thor? says Loki

''There's always a purpose to everything your father does. Thor may yet find a way home [Loki looks troubled by the revelation. He rises, heads for the exit, when they hear the clatter of armored footsteps hurriedly approaching. The Einherjar Guard enter the room, blocks his way out. Loki tenses, prepared for the worst, but the guards just stand before them. Loki is baffled.] ''Thor is banished. The Line of Succession falls to you. Until he awakens, Asgard is yours. [The Einherjar kneel before the shocked Loki. Another Einherjar enters, holding Gungnir before him. He kneels before Loki, offers the spear to him.] ''Make your father proud says Frigga

[Loki reaches out tentatively, then takes it. He likes the feel of it in his hand.]

[Odin's Palace]

[The Healing Room]

[Maeve is finishing with putting her clothes on some pair of black leggings, a dark blue tunic and brown boots that she was prepared to go to the training grounds and she was putting her hair up in a pony tail when the doors open to reveal Einherjar Guards]

''What's going on? says Maeve

''The King would like to have a word with you in the throne room Lady Maeve says Einherjar Guard

''Okay...says Maeve

[She follows the guards out of the healing room noticing that there was tension in the air as she sees Sif walking with the Warriors Three towards the throne room. The two Einherjar Guards enter with Maeve admitting all of them. Sif looks at Maeve confused]

''My lady...what is going on? says Sif

''I don't know...The King wanted to see me says Maeve

[Sif, and the Warriors Three, bow their heads along with Maeve]

''AllFather, we must speak with you urgently-says Sif

[But as they raise their heads, they stop short to see Loki sitting sprawled upon his father's throne. He wears his horned ceremonial headdress and holds Gungnir in his hand. Sif and the others look up, shocked at the sight of him.]

''What is this? says Volstagg

[Loki looks on at his so called friends with sudden glee and satisfaction that he finally had the power to make there lives a living hell then he looks at Maeve who was on her knees before him beside them and stops smiling as he looks at her in hunger knowing what he is about to do with her will make his triumph that more pleasent ]

''My friends...you haven't heard? I Am now ruler of Asgard says Loki

''Where is Odin? says Fandral

''Father's Fallen into the Odinsleep. My mother fears he may never awaken again says Loki

''We would speak with her says Sif

[Sif and the Warriors Three exchange a look. Loki notices]

''She has refused to leave my father's bedside. You can bring your urgent matters to me, [He rises to his feet carrying Gungnir in his hand and with a thump on the floor with it he stands before them looking down at them coldly] ''Your King says Loki

''We would ask you to end Thor's Banishment says Sif

[Loki smiles knowing all along that would be her request] ''My first command can not be to undo the Allfather's last order. We're on the brink of war with Jotunhiem because of my brother...Our people must have a sense of continuity in order to feel safe in these differecult times. [Sif and the Warriors Three trade looks, not liking any of this] ''All of us must stand together, for the good of Asgard says Loki

''Of course but if only you can reconsider? says Volstagg

''We are done here [He looks at Maeve] ''I would speak to Lady Maeve alone now leave says Loki

[Sif and the Warriors Three bow their heads and exit. Sif looks at Maeve worried seeing how pale she still looked from being in the healing rooms. Maeve looks at Loki who was staring at her]

''You wanted to see me your highness says Maeve

''I feel that you had alot on your mind last night when you wanted to speak to me...Tell me what the important message was for me says Loki

[He begins walking down the steps towards her as she gets to her feet and that he was staring coldly towards her making her shiver]

''I...I...When I had my vision the one I told Odin that I had...I've gotten another one and it showed me everything that happened after...[Loki stops hearing this and turns to look at her stunned] ''I've never gotten visions like this before not of the future until now...they have never always been clear until last night...I'm sorry I wished I told you about it before you went to Jotunheim says Maeve

''So you knew about us going and what about anything else [He was furious] ''Did you know about the Frost Giant that touched me and made me realize that I'm not who I thought I was...[She felt a hot ball of tears come from her eyes] ''Tell me now says Loki

''I saw the Frost Giant touch you and made you turn blue...[She turns to him looking at him in remorse] ''I tried to get you to speak to me so that I can tell you but you, Thor and the others have already gone to Jotunheim...I'm so sorry says Maeve

[Loki turns sharply around to face away from her clinching his fists still angry from Odin keeping his true identity a secret from him all his life and now Maeve knows about him. She wraps her arms around her shoulders to keep from shaking as he closes his eyes smiling slowly walks towards her, she holds her ground.]

''It seems that your magic is growing each year and there is no telling what else you can do...So you can see visions...[He grabs the back of her neck and pulls her to him then forces her head back forcefuly and she gasps in surprise and alarm] ''You saw everything that was supposed to happen last night and it did and now because of you I am King...I...Owe...You says Loki

[His lips goes to hers kissing her with hunger and she was struggling against him and pushes him away. He licks his lips tasting her and smiles as he walks towards her and she matches his steps backwards away from him. He places the Gungnir next to a pillar and traps her against it and he cages her with his arms beside her then she flattens herself to get away from him but he was having none of that and he buries his lips into her exposed neck and nibbles on her skin there.]

''Loki...Stop says Maeve

''First you saved my life and now You have made it where I am King [He bites on her neck making her whimper and then he cups her face bringing her lips to his] ''Your life is now Mine to do with as I please...You will bring me Glory says Loki

[He swallows her sob as he kisses her passionately and then his hands were pulling her leggings down her legs and she gasps pushing against his chest]

''N-No...I can't do this, stop says Maeve

''Never, Now that I am King everthing of Asgard belongs to me and that now includes You [He pulls off his heavy helmet and then fumbles with his pants pulling himself out and touches her body his hands on her thighs urging her up against the wall and slowly lowers her onto him and he feels how silky she was and his lips bite on her jawline ] ''You now belong to me says Loki

''[She begins to sob as he begins to move into her and she had no choice but to except his pentration and touch on her body she was trapped against a pillar and his body with him holding one of her legs around him and he was taking her with such intenstiy and passion she cries against his shoulder feeling all kinds of sensations from him making love to her.]
