An hour later, Loki is taken to his cell at a SHIELD building. Nervous for Colora and hopes that she's okay. Meanwhile, Secretary Ross is talking to Thor and the others about Tyr's plan. After they explain everything, he asks them, "How do you know?"

Perseus answers, "Because Colora told me!"

Dellinger added, "Not just that, she has been giving us information whenever she can regardless of what she's done so we could stop Tyr. But I think us knowing their plan might have gotten Colora into trouble."

"What do you mean?" asks Thor.

Dellinger sighs, "Before Amora took the machine, she looked into my mind." Everyone sighs. "I couldn't help it. She had me by the -"

"It's not your fault, Dellinger," Harisa interrupted with compassion. "You couldn't help it."

"Amora has always been gifted in mind reading," Thor commented.

Secretary Ross approaches Thor and asks, "Care to explain where you were in 2016 when the Sokovian Accords took place and why you brought your brother back here?"

"I was trying to save the universe from the chaos after the Mind Stone was discovered, and I didn't know that my brother was alive until Dellinger told me."

"Excuse me!" Perseus interrupted. "But this bickering is pointless!"

Secretary turns to Perseus and asks him, "And who are you?"

"Perseus, King of Vanahiem. Colora's brother."

"Colora's brother."

"Yes. And right now, I don't appreciate you have the right to interrogate us! You should be grateful that we were at the party trying to stop Tyr."

"There's no need to argue with him, your grace," Harisa interrupted. "He's only doing this because he wants to know if we are working with him just so he could get the President to send him a prize for catching Loki and an Avenger."

"Excuse me?!" Secretary Ross said as he felt insulted.

"Enough!" Rhodes interrupted. "Look, Mr. Secretary, I know you think that just because they decided to fight against protocol doesn't mean we can't thank them for warning us and getting the civilians out of the party before anyone could get hurt."

An Agent enters the room and informs everyone, "Excuse me, sir. But a woman and a child came to see the prisoner and -"

Liam emerges behind the Agent. Thor gasps, "Liam!"

"Uncle Thor!" Liam says as he runs up to Thor and hugs him.

Sadiel stands next to the Agent and apologizes, "I'm sorry, but he insisted on coming here."

"No, it's alright," says Thor.

"Uncle?" Rhodes gasps in shock.

"Where's dad?" Liam asks.

"Will someone please tell me who this child is!" Secretary Ross interrupted.

Liam turns to the Secretary with anger in his eyes. "My name is Liam Laufeyson. Prince of Asgard, Vanaheim, and Jotunheim. Son of Princess Colora and Prince Loki Laufeyson." Rodney, Secretary Ross, and other Agents in the room are shocked. "I ask you to please listen to us! Earth is in trouble, and we must stop Tyr before it is too late."

"Sir, the video feed in the prisoner's cell is ready," interrupted the Agent.

"Good," replied Secretary Ross.

Thor, Harisa, Dellinger, Perseus, and Liam look at each other and then realize that something is happening on the monitors.

Meanwhile, at the same time, Loki is pacing in the cell when suddenly, an Agent enters the room. Loki approaches him and pleads, "Please, I need to speak to your superior."

"You will, but you're going to talk to me right now," replied the Agent.

Loki looks at him as the Agent sits down. "What is it you want from me? Because if you want to know if I am working for my psychotic brother of mine -"

"Are you?"

"No! Of course not. I didn't even know I had another brother until he told me."

"Okay."

At the same time, everyone is anxious about what is happening. The Agent asks, "So, Loki, in 2012, Thor took you back to Asgard after your arrest, so you could stand trial for the crimes there despite the crime that you did here? Why are you here? Were you planning to take revenge on the Avengers?"

"No. After I was put in the dungeons in Asgard, Thor helped me escape to help his mortal ex-girlfriend escape the dangers of the Dark Elves.

"Dark Elves?"

"They're creatures that wanted the nine realms to be in his image by using the Reality Stone." The Agent writes down some notes. "Once we escaped, I tricked my father, sent him to Earth, and used magic to manipulate his mind so I could take over his place as King. I did it because I wanted revenge on my father for lying to me about my true family lineage, making me believe that I would one day be King, and forbidding Colora and I to be together."

"Colora?" asks the Agent. Loki sighs. The Agent then realizes who he's talking about. "Oh, right. The Princess of Vanaheim. The one who was a hero to Earth and the nine realms but now a traitor."

Frustrated, "It's not her fault!" Loki looks at the Agent.

"It isn't? And why not?"

"Because she was manipulated. Controlled by Tyr and Amora."

"Huh. If Colora was tricked, how come she couldn't snap out of it because, last time I checked, she is a gifted sorceress?"

"It is not that simple."

"Enlighten me then."

"He threatened her because she turned him over to my father after Tyr murdered an emperor and wanted to be ruler over everyone on Earth!"

"How?"

"You wouldn't understand."

"Try me."

"Before Thor helped me escape Asgard, Colora went to see me twice and asked me why I attacked Earth and why I wanted to be King."

"Speaking of which, why did you?"

"I wanted to protect Colora from Thanos. He threatened to kill me when I first met him, but I pleaded with him to spare me because I wanted to see Colora again. So he said I could if I gave him the Tesseract."

The others listened intently, but Liam had tears in his eyes as he was hurt to hear what his father said again.

"As long as I did that, he wouldn't hurt anyone I cared about. But when I was arrested, I feared he would come after me and hurt Colora. After I told her the truth, I was relieved but feared that she would do anything to protect me. So I did the most regretful thing I could ever do to her." The Agent stopped writing in his notes. "I broke her heart by faking my death once more because not only did I want to protect my brother. I wanted to protect her because I feared Thanos would go after her." Loki pauses and sighs. "What I didn't expect was as soon as I tricked my father and brother and placed myself as King, was her father not explaining why he banished Colora to Earth. I felt that not telling the truth about other death was my fault because he not only was angry for continuing to see me regardless of their rule and by helping Thor with my escape." Loki has tears in his eyes, and finally, he lets go of his emotions. "But he banished her because she was with child. A son."

Secretary Ross and the other Agents turn to Liam and stand there.

"She was pregnant?" asked the Agent.

"Yes," Loki replied.

"I'm assuming that he is yours then."

"Yes, he's my son."

"Did you know?"

"No. When I saw her father, he refused to tell me why."

"Is it because she was in line for the throne or because she was to be engaged to someone else?"

Angry. "NO! It was because we disobeyed our fathers and wanted to be together." The Agent stares at him. Loki looks down and sighs. "We were. We are in love. As soon as he told me, I searched everywhere for her but could never find her." The Agent writes down more notes. Loki continues, "It wasn't until after Asgard was destroyed and when Thor and I were taking our people to Earth that I found out that Thanos kidnaped Colora because she was looking for the Infinity Stones." Loki takes a deep breath. "I didn't expect that he would keep her alive and trade her to Tyr for revenge."

"Revenge?" The Agent questioned. "On who?"

"On Colora and I. She turned him in after he killed the emperor, and I fell in love with her after she rejected him, let alone had a son, which is what he desires from her more than anything."

The Agent starts laughing. Loki squints his eyebrows at him. "What's so funny?" The Agent continues to laugh. "I don't see how any of this is funny."

"It's just the idea of you being in love," the Agent replied. "When you only thought about taking over Earth just for revenge. It's all that you just said. It's funny because you murdered hundreds of people. Many consider you to be a monster than can love - "

Loki interrupts him, "Just because I did horrible things doesn't mean I cannot change. Colora didn't see me as a monster. She never did." Loki looks down and sighs. "But to be honest...I don't enjoy hurting people. I don't enjoy it. I do it because I have to because I've had to. Because it's part of the illusion. It's the cruel elaborate trick cultured by the weak to inspire fear."

"The desperate play for control."

"Exactly. And Colora knew it too. She knew I was only doing horrible acts of violence because I was hurt and in pain. Colora even knew that if I was destined to be King, I would turn it away unless I had to...She saw and loved me for me, just like I do for her." Loki looks to see that the Agent doesn't believe him. "Okay, look, you don't trust me. And you don't have to believe everything I've said. Your boss doesn't even have to believe me because I know that he and all of you want to put me behind bars for the rest of my life. And quite frankly, I deserve it. But you can trust one thing. I love to be right. I know I have been right about Tyr and what he plans to do so far. And if you don't listen to us, then your world will face the danger that no one, not even your strongest and greatest heroes, will be able to stop him."

Meanwhile, Colora is pacing in her chambers. Waiting and afraid of what Tyr will do next. It reminds her of a memory.

PAST

Colora is making a tonic while listening to Tyr. "I will make Rome wonder of the age," Tyr explains to Colora. "But the Senate and the Emperor just simply don't understand." Colora stops and turns to walk toward him. "All my desires are splitting my head to pieces.

Colora replied as she gestured a tonic to him. "Tyr. Drink this. It will make you feel better."

He takes it from her and drinks it. "I think the time is almost right. Could dissolve the Senate? Don't you agree? You've seen it."

"Seen it? You don't mean -"

"Yes. It's time that the world knows that the Gods should rule over them, not them. They think that they know better than the Gods."

"They trust the Gods for guidance and wisdom every day. That's why it is up to us to help them. To give them that guidance. Not take conquer them. That is why you are here! That is why I am here!"

"Exactly! And instead of taking our advice, they laugh at us! They think they are better than we are. I will show them what we Gods truly know what the mortals need."

"Tyr! This is not what your father would want."

"Why not! He's done it! Why can't I? I'm doing this not just for the people of Rome. I'm doing this for us."

"Us?" Colora raises her eyebrow at him.

He walks towards her and touches her cheek. "I love you, Colora. Ever since I met you, I knew you were special; you were the one for me." He pulls her in close. "Think about it, Colora...Queen in all but name. An issue is nothing. Will you give yourself to me now?" He tries to kiss her, but she pushes him away.

"TYR! STOP IT! I'm sorry, but I don't want any part of this. Tyr. If you do this, understand that I cannot and will not help you. And I will have no choice but to act on it. Even if it means breaking your..."

They both have tears in their eyes. Tyr steps towards her and pleads, "Colora, please." However, Colora turns around and leaves him.

"COLORA!"

PRESENT

Colora has tears in her eyes as she is afraid that Tyr knows.

At the same time, Tyr looks through his computer and finds that someone has been sending information to his enemy. He throws his paperwork on the ground, looks at his desk, and shouts, "GUARD!"

A guard enters the room, bows to him, and says, "Yes, your grace?"

"Bring me, my wife! NOW!"

The guard bows and leaves the room. Tyr watches the guard leave.

A few minutes later, the guard enters Colora's chambers and announces to her, "Excuse me, your grace." Colora turns around. "But the emperor requests your presence at once." Colora hesitates to move but decides to obey and leaves her chambers. As she leaves, the guard watches her.

Before Colora enters Tyr's chamber, she stops, takes a deep breath, and looks at the door as she feels something isn't right. As she enters his room, she sees Tyr looking at the floor. Colora slowly approaches him and asks, "You wanted to see me?" He doesn't say a word and doesn't look at her. "Tyr?" Colora takes a step towards him. "Talk to me." He continues to be silent and does not look at her. She takes a deep breath. "Will you say something, please?"

Tyr looks up at her and takes a deep breath, "Sit down." Colora is silent as she is afraid. Tyr gives her a dark glare. "Do not make me say it again." She swallows a lump in her throat as Colora sees Tyr is serious. She then decides to do what he asks. "I knew as soon as Loki broke Amora's spell on you that you would do anything to get back to him, even if it meant that you would ruin my plans. But I never expected that you would do it in such a way that you would lie and conspire against me.

Colora has watery eyes as she tries to hold her emotions and not show fear. "I would never -"

Tyr slams his fists down, then grabs her chin. "Don't interrupt!" Colora swallows another lump in her throat. Tyr lets go of her as he glances away from her. He then looks back at her. "Tell me, have you ever heard the story about Emperor Draco?" Colora doesn't say a word. "Centuries ago, before you, your brother, and I came to Rome. When Emperor Draco ruled over the Roman Empire, many thought he was a great ruler because he had won many battles and made the Empire the most powerful and unchallenged Empire of any nation. However, some had a different opinion and thought he was a monster. A tyrant even. They believed the only way to get rid of him was to kill him and put someone else in his stead." Colora doesn't move an inch as she knows where he is going with. "He was betrayed by those closest to him. By his own blood. They whispered in dark corners. They went down late at night. And conspired and conspired, but the Emperor Draco knew that they were up to something." Colora's tears slowly emerge as she looks away from him. "They knew that they were busy little bees. And one night, he sat down with one of them, and he looked at her. And he said, tell me what you've been doing, busy little bee. Or I shall strike those down dearest to you. You shall watch as I bathe in their blood." Colora sheds a tear as she understands where the story is going. "And the emperor was heartbroken. The little bee had wounded him more deeply than anyone could have ever done. And what do you think happened then?" He pauses. "The little bee told him everything." Colora swallows another lump in her throat as a tear falls off her cheek.

At the same time, at the SHIELD building, everyone notices the interrogator coming back from talking to Loki. Secretary Ross approaches him and asks, "Well?"

The Agent replied, "Honestly, sir, I believe he's telling the truth."

"You can't be serious."

Thor, Dellinger, Perseus, and Harisa look at each other as they are not surprised that Secretary Ross doesn't believe what they are trying to tell him. Thor remarks, "Told you so."

The Agent asks, "What would you do you want us to do, sir?"

Secretary Ross turns to them. The group is silent as they watch what he is going to say. He asks them, "I'm only going to ask you this once. Do you all trust him?"

Thor replied, "I trust him not only because he is my brother. But because he has changed. If he were the same Loki from ten years ago, he would have been lying to your faces, and I would know that. But this time, I know."

"Please, I beg you to free my father," pleads Liam. Secretary Ross sighs. A few minutes later, a SHIELD agent returns to the room with Loki. Liam sees his father and quickly stands up from his seat. "Dad!"

Loki sees Liam next to Thor and gasps, "Liam!" They rush towards each other and hug each other.

Secretary Ross says, "Eh hem." Loki and Liam let go of each other. "If you please, Mr. Laufeyson." Secretary Ross turns on his screen and shows a map. Everyone sits down except Loki. "I have agreed against protocol and what many would to this. However, if you are certain, as well as your friends and family, know what Tyr plans to do...I am willing to listen. But, if you deceive us again, I will have no choice but to send you to prison for the rest of your life. Am I making myself clear?"

Loki nods his head. "Yes."

Another screen shows everything that Tyr has stolen. Secretary Ross explains to Loki, "Okay. So Dellinger explained to me how your brother, Tyr Odinson, had stolen a file named Project Pegasus, the Adamantium, and the model that S.H.E.I.L.D. once had held the Tesseract." Loki takes a deep breath.

At the same time, Colora looks back up at Tyr and stutters, "Tyr, just because you think I would tell them anything doesn't mean I would."

Tyr stands up and shouts, "Liar!" Colora silently hyperventilates as she sees Tyr's rage. "You came in, went through the files, and sent them to them. Didn't you?!" She looks away from him. Tyr leans towards her and grabs her chin forcibly. "DIDN'T YOU?!"

Colora looks back at him with a dark glare. "Yes!" Tyr lets go of her and back off. Colora stands up. "But you know what...I didn't just send it to my brother, Thor, Loki, and my dearest companions. I sent them everything so they could give it to the people at S.H.I.E.L.D., the FBI, everyone!" Tyr expresses a specific look in his eyes. "When you would be stealing the prototype, the location of the island, I sent everything of this place! The number of your men, the security protocols, everything you know you fear. And once they tell the world leaders how you want to use the prototype as a portal to reshape the world, they will do anything it takes to stop you. And once they tell the world leaders how you want to use the prototype as a portal to reshape the world, they will do anything it takes to stop you. And my heart will never belong to you, for I'd rather die than love and give you children."

Tyr glances away and then looks back at her as he sees the anger in her eyes. "You can't be serious! I have given you everything you ever wanted! Everything that idiotic brother of mine could not!"

Colora implies, "You may have given me everything I could want, yes! But do you really think I could be with someone like you?"

"What do you mean?" Tyr questions her as he raises his eyebrow.

Colora doesn't say anything. Tyr looks at her as he takes a few steps toward her and then walks away. She slowly turns around as she sees him looking at a statue. "Do you ever wonder why I barely look at you when I kiss you?" Tyr slowly turns around as he looks at her with his eyebrow raised. "Or what I think about whenever you have me in bed with you? What about the countless failed attempts to provide you with heirs?" He tilts his head slightly. "Yes. It's because I think of him. And only him. And the idea of bearing you children...well, I had to take matter into my own hands if I were to..."

Tyr takes a step forward in rage. "What did you do?"

Colora pauses, then continues. "Every moment you had me in your arms and bed with you. I made sure that I wasn't because I'd rather be with the man I love than you—someone who will want to spend time with his children. Someone who I knew I saw in my future. And that certainly was not with you!" Tyr's eyes are shocked to hear what Colora is saying. "I knew that if I ever wanted to be with someone, it would never be with you. It would be someone who treats me the way I want to be treated. Someone who puts me first before anyone else. And for as long as I can remember, Loki has done that and more. You may think that he's worthless. But I see him as the only love of my life! And if I had the choice to choose who I would marry, have children with, and spend the rest of my life with... I would choose Loki."

Tyr stutters. "So you've never once..."

"Never."

Tyr looks away briefly. Colora continues to give him a dark glare. "So. You would rather die than be with me? That would mean you would die rather than live for your son." Colora is horrified as he begins to threaten her son. Because I thought a mother would do everything she could to protect her children?"

Colora gets in his face. "Don't you dare bring my son into this! I would do anything to protect him! Even from you!" Tyr stares into her eyes. "Because there's one more thing that I do know that makes you different between you and I and the reason why I will never love you." She pauses once more. "The difference between us is this for us. Bloodshed is a gruesome last resort, but for you...for you, it is as easy as drawing your next breath."

Tyr and Colora give each other dark glares. As he steps closer to her, Colora is spooked by it and is afraid of what he will do. "Now you will give yourself to me," he whispers. As he gets closer and closer, Colora begins to hyperventilate. "You will love me, as I loved you."

Colora tries to back away from him. She says, "Tyr. Tyr no, please!"

Tyr pushes her against the wall. "You will provide me with an heir of pure blood. And his progeny will rule for a thousand years." He pauses. "Am I not merciful?" Colora sheds a tear as she stares into his eyes with fear. He leans towards her to kiss her, but Colora backs away. He leans away slightly until he touches her cheek, then forcibly grabs it. Colora shuts her eyes. "AM I NOT MERCIFUL?!"

Colora looks at him. "No! I hate you! I swear you are nothing but a -"

"Silence!" Tyr forcibly pushes her away from the wall and against his desk.

"Let go of me!"

"Damn you."

"You're hurting me!"

"You'll show me it was worth my while!" Tyr aggressively rips her dress apart. Colora starts sobbing and hyperventilates once again. As soon as Tyr has the dress ripped, he penetrates her. Colora gasps and continues to sob as he aggressively assaults her. At the same time, Loki is explaining to Secretary Ross what they know.

At that moment, as Liam is listening to his father talking, he hears echoes of someone screaming and feeling their pain and suffering. He shuts his eyes as he has a blurred vision of someone getting hurt. (He can't fully see what is happening.)

At the same time, Colora is gasping for air and struggling to move after Tyr hits her to the ground. Tyr kneels, grabs her legs, and pulls her towards his bed. As he pulls her, Colora scratches the floor to escape but is not strong enough. He then picks her up and pulls her to the bed. Once Colora is on the bed, Tyr holds her down while she is struggling to break free. "Stop!" She shouts. Tyr aggressively sexually assaults her. She screams.

As the screaming grows louder in his mind, Liam hyperventilates and squinches. Everyone in the room stops as they notice Liam getting worse. Loki approaches his son, kneels to him, and asks, "Liam? Liam! What is it? What's wrong?" Liam doesn't answer him as he continues not to open his eyes. Loki turns to Harisa. "What's happening to him?"

"It's his power," Harisa replied. Loki turns to Harisa. "He has this gift to feel other people's emotions, pain, or something else if it's miles, even worlds away."

Liam continues not to open his eyes but slowly takes deep breaths. "Somethings wrong," he replied. Loki looks back at Liam. "I hear screaming. It hurts. Really bad." Loki swallows a lump in his throat, fearing to see what Liam sees and feels. He then grabs Liam's hands and closes his eyes. As Loki takes a deep breath, everyone glances at each other as they fear what is wrong. As Loki is trying to get entrance with what Liam is seeing, he sees the light and the echoes of screaming. He suddenly feels the same pain that the person is feeling.

At that moment, in that place, he opens his eyes and sees what it is. Loki is horrified by what he sees in the vision. Colora continues to scream and cry as she tries to fight Tyr off her. "Tyr! Please stop. You're hurting me! AH!" However, he doesn't listen as it gets to a point where the assault is aggressively and violently sexual. Colora has difficulty moving as she tries to get him to hear her one last time. Loki sheds tears and falls to his knees, traumatized by what he sees. "TYR! STOP! STOP!" Colora finally surrenders as Tyr has complete control, and she starts to feel lightheaded.

At that moment, Loki returns from the vision and gasps as he knows what he saw was not good. He turns to Liam as Loki sees the tears down his son's cheeks. Fearful that Liam may have seen what happened to his mother. Liam turns to Loki and says, "Dad...I think it was mom! Something happened to her! Is she going to be okay?"

Loki quickly grabs his son and holds him in his arms. Liam sheds more tears. Loki replied, "We are going to get her back! I promise!" Loki sighs and looks back at everyone. He then lets go of Liam and walks toward Secretary Ross. "Sir, I know this is a long shot, but I need you to pull a meeting with your military, government, and anyone willing to fight."

"Like who?" asks Secretary Ross.

"Do you keep in touch with your former Avengers? I don't care about your stupid Sokovian accords, but your world will suffer from Tyrs' wrath in a day or two. That I can promise you that." They all stare at him. Secretary Ross sighs and then leaves the room while other agents continue their actions. Loki notices the interrogator and glances at Liam. "Sir, could you please get Liam a snack or something? There's something I need to discuss with everyone."

"Sure," replied the Agent. The Agent walks toward Liam and suggests his hand to him. "Come on, your highness." Liam turns to his father, noticing that he wants him not to be there. So Liam does what he is told and follows the Agent. Once Liam is gone, Loki turns to Thor. "Brother, do you keep in contact with Valkyrie?"

"Yes," Thor replied.

"Do you think she will want to help us?" Loki asks.

"Just give me an hour, and I'll see what I can do." Thor heads out of the room, takes out his cell phone, and makes the call.

Loki turns to Dellinger, Harisa, and Perseus and sighs. "Perseus, I need to see your father."

"What?" Perseus says in shock.

"Are you crazy?" says Harisa.

"As soon as the Royal Family sees you, they will want to kill you because of what happened," Dellinger replied.

"I know, but I am willing to risk it because I need to stop Tyr from taking over Earth, and I need him to understand that without his help," Loki replied.

They look at Loki with concern but acknowledge that he may be right. Loki then looks away and looks at the screen with Colora on the screen and sheds a tear from his eyes. "He may never see his daughter ever again."

At the same time, Tyr is asleep in his bed while Colora is motionless. She sheds tears as she feels ashamed for what happened to her.
