Shoutout to Fin-Fish Jun-Tenshi, crimson .blood. witch and 1Laure-Lo.

As always I own nothing. Enjoy.

Aphrodite was only moments behind Thor as he entered Odin's chamber and she caught the last bit of the conversation between he and Loki.

"You're a talented liar brother." She heard Thor say. "Always have been."

"Glad to have you back," was Loki's response. "Now if you'll excuse me. I have to go and destroy Jotunheim." Then there was a blast and the crumbling of bricks.

"Loki." Aphrodite called out as he rushed from the chambers.

"Sister," He said slowly turning around, shock written all across his features. "You're alive."

"Why Loki?"

"Because I want father to see me as I truly am, and what I can be." He said slowly, then raised Gungnir in her direction.

"I don't want to fight you Loki."

"Nor I you. Stand aside sister."

She shook her head. "No."

Loki clenched his jaw but fired Gungnir, Aphrodite blocked with a force field, like he know and hoped she would and when she brought it down Loki was gone.

Aphrodite had often mused what in may have been like to jump from the edge of the Bifrost. What it have been has terrifying as many make it out to be, or what it be simply freefalling into nothingness for all eternity. In her musings if she had known that the former were true, and how truly terrifying it was to fall off the edge of the Bifrost, she would have never suggested it.

Aphrodite watched as Thor and Loki brawled in the Bifrost then on the Rainbow Bridge. And then watched as Thor brought his hammer down again and again destroying the bridge before the power of the Bifrost could destroy Jotunheim.

"If you destroy the bridge you'll never see her again!" Loki shouted desperately.

"Forgive me Jane." Thor muttered to himself as he continued bringing his hammer down on the bridge

Loki grew enraged and roared as he charged at Thor with his sceptre raised, Aphrodite threw herself between them but the action was in vain as the Rainbow Bridge finally cracked under the force of Mjolnir and the three were thrown from the edge.

Aphrodite held on tightly to her father's sceptre Thor gripping the other end and Loki gripping her other hand. Odin himself holding tight and strong to Thor's ankle preventing his children from falling in the swirling abyss below.

"I could have done it father. I could have done it!" Aphrodite had never heard Loki sound so desperate, so broken. "For you! For all of us!" Loki continued to plead.

Odin's gaze remained unwavering. "No Loki."

Aphrodite for however many centuries she lived would never understand why Odin choose that moment to shatter what was left of Loki.

If Loki wasn't sure that he had a heart, he definitely knew now, because he felt it break after Odin said those words. Then he looked to Aphrodite, his sister no matter their blood, the one person that he really truly loved. And swore that he would never hurt. He knew then that he was the monster he was born to be.

Aphrodite felt Loki let lose her hand. "No Loki!" She cried as she felt him begin to slip and Thor echoed her. "No!" She screamed when she fully lost her grip on him and he fell, his eyes on them the whole time.

Aphrodite felt numb as she was pulled back on the bridge, she didn't even realize that she was crying until Thor pulled her into his comforting embrace.

The following day all of Asgard was celebrating Thor's quick thinking and heroic actions, and though no one had said it aloud, all but the royal family were celebrating that the dark prince was gone. Lost between realms.

All but one, the Princess of Asgard chose not to join in the celebration. She had feasted then made her quick escape.

Everyone understand why she had distanced herself, she and Loki were close, they formed a bond through their love of magic, and a strong relationship with their mother.

And now, now Aphrodite felt lost, abandoned even, without him there. She could hear Heimdall and Thor behind her, speaking to one another.

"And my sister?" Thor questioned after asking the condition of Jane Foster.

"She mourns for her brother." Heimdall's deep ever calm voice responded.

Thor nodded then approached Aphrodite.

"Sister," Thor began, laying a strong hand on Aphrodite's shoulder and she turned to face him. "He's gone."

Aphrodite shook her head, "No."

"Aphrodite, even if he survived the fall-"

"I understand now," she interrupted him. "Why he did it."

"Aphrodite-" Thor began warning clear in his voice.

"I didn't say he was right, or just in what he did. But think for a moment, what would you have done if you were not, what they had always said you were."

Thor was quiet for a moment as he thought about her words.

"Loki said- he said he wasn't our brother."

Thor down at her, question in his eyes and Aphrodite took his arm and teleported them to one of the many sitting rooms in the palace, thankfully it was empty.

"Sit." She urged.

Thor did as asked still asking the wordless question. Aphrodite stood in front of him and placed both hands on his head then projected into his mind what she saw of Loki and Odin in the weapons vault.

When she removed her hands Thor hand his head bowed his shoulders shaking with silent sobs. Instead of forcing him to raise is head to meet her eyes, she sunk down to her knees and caught his eye.

"Now do you see?" Thor nodded and wrapped his large arms around Aphrodite as he finally let himself mourn his loss.

And so brings us to the end of the first Thor. Yayyyy.

Shorter chapter than most, but in true MCU fashion Avengers is up next, which I'm very excited for Aphrodite will meet Steve ;), Nat and the entire crew very shortly.

As always please let me know what you think, and what you would like to see in the future.

P.S.

I know that I haven't given very much description, but who would you all have in mind as a face claim for Aphrodite if you had to have one. I'm torn between two actresses, but I'd really love to hear you guy's opinion.

She can be an actress, model, singer, literally anyone.

Let me know.
