Loki had been defeated. And by 'them'. Now, he must face Odin and receive a "just punishment". But the punishment is not as "just" as Thor or Loki thought it would be. Trials that push the boundaries of both mental and physical plains. As Odin puts it, the punishment of a mad man. AU taking place after the first Avengers movie. This is my first fic so please review!

After the events of The Avengers, the Avengers aren't the only ones shaken up. Loki's mind is whirling and he still has wounds that need to be nursed. Returning to Asgard isn't exactly a balm for him, either, especially since Odin plans to execute him for his crimes. Will Frigga be able to change that? And how will Loki react to all that has befallen him? (Alternate pre-Thor 2-ish)

After Avengers, Loki is tried and found guilty of mass murder and terrorism. He's sentenced to eternity imprisonment and solitude. Will Loki get a second chance at redemption? Rated T for blood and torture.
