Chapter 6

I AM SO SORRY THAT I HAVEN'T POSTED IN FOREVER! I've been working on a novel of mine and haven't even thought to post this chapter! I'll try not to do this again. Please don't leave flames in your reviews because of it. Please read on and review. And I lied, there is no sign of Cas in this chapter, but he will be in the next.

Before they left for Gabriel's house Dean detoured outside.

"Cas, we're going somewhere and I need you to follow us. As soon as I say, you need to come meet up with us. It's important."

Gabriel's house was rather large. Loki smirked as the hunters gawked at the mansion. As they walked through the door Sam whispered "I've never been in a house this big."

"The palace in Asgard is about twice the size of this Midgardian house." Loki offhandedly commented. He carefully committed the looks on the brother's faces to memory.

Loki shrugged off his coat and walked into the sitting room. He stopped as Thor placed a hand on his upper arm. "Brother, where did you acquire these wounds?" Thor asked in a quiet voice. Loki jerked away and sat in the arm chair across from the door. Tyr sat in the only seat beside him before Thor had the chance. Loki sent him a grateful look.

"Brother, you haven't answered me." Thor pushed. He loomed over Loki, reaching out to grab Loki's arm.

Loki abruptly stood and shoved Thor away from him. "You beloved Father ordered that this be done to me! And you sat by, celebrating your victory on Midgard with your friends!" Loki snapped. Thor recoiled slightly before squaring his shoulders and facing his brother once more. "Father would never do such a thing." He growled, his hand clutching his hammer tight.

"Well, it was you father who ordered this! Where were you Odinson?!" Loki spat. Thor stepped away and stared open- mouthed at Loki's words. "Where were you?" Loki asked again in a voice that was almost a whisper, his voice cracking on the last word. He stood there for a moment before turning on his heel and fleeing the room.

"I'll talk to him. He's been through a lot." Tyr said after a few tense minutes. He rose and followed Loki's path from the room.

"Cas, now would be a good time." Dean said.

…..

Tyr entered their shared room to find Loki sitting on his bed, his knees pulled up to his chest, and his gaze locked on the opposite wall. He didn't move as Tyr sat beside him.

"Thor's only trying to help. He didn't know about anything that happened down there." Tyr said. When Loki didn't respond, he continued. "You grew up as brothers, with Thor as the eldest. Has there ever been a time when Thor didn't care about what happened to you?" He asked.

Loki shook his head, the first time Tyr had seen him moved since he had entered the room. Tyr placed his hand on his brother's shoulder and Loki flinched. Tyr pulled his hand away, not wanting to hurt his brother at all. "We are worried for your health. What else can you expect from us?" He asked.

Loki was silent. Tyr sighed and stood, turning his back on Loki to leave.

"He used to visit me every day. He would bring me my evening meal, tell me of the day's events, and what the Warriors Three and Lady Sif had been up to. It was almost like Midgard had never happened, like we were still brothers. I would never let him see it, but I would always smile when he left." Loki whispered. Tyr turned back to him, slowly sitting beside him once more.

Loki took a shaky breath and continued. "Then he stopped coming. I never had any warning, never knew why. He just didn't come one day. I would ask the guards if something was wrong, if he had left or been injured, but they would simply ignore me. I was moved from my old cell- it was rather spacious and well furnished- to the concrete one you found me in. I was punished for simple thing like asking for food or water."

He paused, closing his eyes and seeming to swallow away his fear before continuing. "I began to have night terrors and after a few days of this I would be hit or cut when I would cry out. The guards became brutal, lashing out at anything like looking them in the eye. I would beg for them to stop, plead for mercy even, but they would continue, becoming more cruel than I thought possible. Odin even tortured me a few times, laughing as I would plead for him to stop. I tried killing myself, but I was punished more for doing so."

He had begun to cry, hot, salty tears ripping their way down his face. "You don't have to tell me these things." Tyr said, laying his hand on Loki's shoulder. Loki didn't flinch away this time. "I know, but I want to tell you. I've been alone in this for so long. You were the first person in about six months to show any kindness towards me. Brother or not, I would trust you with my life." He said, his eyes meeting Tyr's, pleading for the younger man to listen. Tyr motioned for him to continue.

"There's not really much else. I could show you the scars I have from the cuts, burns, lashes, even odd bruising from broken bones that never healed right. You know more than anyone. I-" Loki was cut off by a loud crash from the living room. Shouting could be heard and the two brothers jumped to their feet, racing to see what had transpired in their absence.

AN: That ended up a lot more OOC than I had intended, but I like it. I'm again sorry for the LLOONNGG wait, but as I said, I've been working on a novel I'm writing and some major writers block hit me for everything else. Please leave a non- flame review (at this point, with this many followers/favorites I should have about three times the reviews I have. I mean come on, can you not spare the time for maybe four to seven sentences?), and tell me what you like best about the story so far. The other Avengers, as well as a few more Supernatural characters, will be showing up soon. I hope to post more than one chapter every few months, but I will not make a promise I will not keep.

Bornrider2 out.
