From what I heard, the news of Lady Frigga's death had already been reported to Loki. Based on the other cell mates around him, Loki turned his back when the guard left. He slowly clenched his fists tightly. Suddenly, a giant blast of magic burst forth and smashed the tables behind him into the wall.

I ran into Loki's chamber.

"Loki..." I muttered. He looked up. His face was red and tear streaked, tears still running down his cheeks. All the furniture was destroyed. He no longer wore his coat, it lay in a corner, tattered. I ran over to him and kneeled beside him. "Loki..." I crooned. "I..." I didn't finish. I pulled him into a warm, gentle hug. I let him cry into my chest. "Shh... It's okay Loki... I'm here..." I crooned.

"I will not be able to bear it if anyone but you and brother saw me in this retched state.. Got it? ((A/N: GOT IT MEMORIZED!? Sorry... Just had to say that... Bye...))" Loki said, trying to sound stern, but failing miserably.

"I promise..." I replied. I held him close to me.

Days passed. I continued to train with Thor, Lady Sif, & The Warriors Three. But for a while, I refused to leave Loki's side. Soon, I wasn't allowed to see him anymore. I grieved for so long. Until the day came... We had stalled for too long... Odin refused to act. So only me, Thor, Lady Sif, and the Warriors Three were left to act.

"Thor... You do realize that this will lead to treason, correct?" Volstagg reminded.

"I do... Father refuses to act as Malekith grows stronger each day. We cannot wait a day longer..." Thor said. "Will you stand with me?" Thor asked.

"We are your friends, Thor... But it this case we are your allies..." Fandrel replied. "We will stand with you..." He said, smiling. Thor smiled back.

"To the bitter end..." Volstagg added.

"To victory..." Lady Sif said.

"Or to the bitter defeat..." I finished. I put my hand in the middle. Each one of us put our hands in the middle, on top of each other.

"For Asguard!" Thor cried.

"For the Nine Realms!" The Warriors Three added.

"For Lady Frigga." Lady Sif added.

"And for the universe!" I cried. And we threw our hands up and roared a victory cry. Then we made our plan.

"I know you all will object... But we need Loki's assistance..." Thor said.

"No! he almost destroyed the Nine Realms!" The Warriors Three cried.

"He tried to kill the Allfather!" Lady Sif added.

"WILL YOU ALL JUST SHUT UP AND FUCKING LISTEN!?" I roared. Everyone went silent. "As much as you all despise Loki. And believe me, I despise him for almost destroying Earth... But he can help us..." I explained. "Just give him a chance... If he goes against us, then you can do what you wish with him..." I said.

"I agree with Suki..." Thor replied. They all sighed.

"As much as I hate the brute... I have to agree with them..." Volstagg agreed.

"Very well... I shall side with them as well..." The other two agreed.

"Lady Sif..." I said.

"Whatever..." She muttered, flinging her head to the side.

I assisted Thor as we went to retrieve Loki. I had let Loki share his pain with me. We arrived at Loki's cell. It appeared he was waiting for us.

"After all this time... Now you come to visit me brother?" Loki asked,

"Enough with the games, Loki. Show your true self..." Thor growled.

"What?" I asked. Loki chuckled.

"You always could tell, brother..." Loki muttered. The Loki in front of us faded away. The real Loki was sitting in a corner. His eyes were red from crying. His clothes were ragged and torn. His once smooth, flat hair was now long and a tangled mess. I gasped.

"Loki..." I muttered.

"Hello brother... Come to gloat?" He asked sadly.

"I have need of your help..." Thor replied.

"Why? To ?" Loki asked.

"I know you seek vengeance as much as I do... You help me escape Asguard and I will grant it to you... Vengeance..." Thor explained. Loki smiled then chuckled. He sighed.

"Oh... You must be TRULY desperate, to come to me for help..." Loki sighed. "What makes you think you can trust me?" Loki asked.

"I don't..." Thor replied. "You should know we fought together in the past. I did so with a glimmer of hope that my brother was still somewhere inside there... That hope no longer exists to protect you..." Thor explained.

"But you should! You're brothers! You're supposed to look out for each other!" I cried, but Thor ignored me.

"You should know that I am giving you a big chance here... That is why if you betray me... I will kill you..." Thor threatened. Loki didn't reply.

"Loki... It may be only you who may help us the most..." I insisted. Loki turned towards me with soft eyes. Eyes I had never seen before.

Am I the only one? If so, then why? Soon, Loki smiled. He turned to Thor and asked, "When do we start?"
