Author's note: Hi! here you have another chapter, this one is completely made by me (you know, now I don't have the film to have ideas and that stuff). Let's go! Thank you again for all your reviews people. You are amazing! ;) And without you, this fic wouldn't exist. Thank you!
Loki's P.O.V
They had managed to take me to Asgard, in front of the Allfather. - I laughed dryly, without humor. - Which, ironically, was not my father; he had found me while he was at war with my home planet, Jötunheim, and had decided to take me as a relic, not for pity, but as a possible tool to use me in the future.
Thor had succeeded, and for what? To have me enclosed with magic chains in the highest tower of the palace as a snake dripped its venom on my face, defacing me, inducing me a pain that bordered on madness, but the worst is that this was not what was driving me crazy. Sometimes, when my mind managed to evade the pain and sleep, I dreamed about a human with auburn hair and eyes of the color of the sun of Asgard and, when I got up, no matter the pain was, because my physical desire for her awoke too.
Everyone had forbidden talking to me, I had a muzzle so I couldn't talk to anyone, but they could come to see me. The woman I called mother for so many years, Frigga, came to visit me from time to time and she always cried inconsolable at my suffering. Later, she was going to beg Odin to stop my torture. I guess Frigga's prayers had effect because, after 6 months, they removed the snake. That gave me time to recover from the wounds caused by the venom but the torture was not over, every day a guard came to beat me with a whip (like a small child who had misbehaved).
Thor also came to see me, every time I saw his eyes full of sadness for me made me want to spit in his face, he was guilty of the state in which I was now.
One day came the Allfather to see me, Odin, he stood there staring at me for several minutes until he came and took the muzzle off.
- ''Loki, my son''.- he started smoothly. I was about to reply that it was not, but I decided to keep quiet and listen.- ''You've spent a lot of time of punishment; I want to ask you, do you regret your actions?''
- ''You know''.- I said hoarsely through disuse, smiling.- ''I do not regret anything I do, Father''.- The last thing I said with some derision.
- ''Haven't you learn anything Loki?''.- Odin stood up, angry.- ''Do you want to be chained forever as if you were an animal? I don't want this life for my son!''
- ''I am not your son!''.- I snapped with anger.- ''You know I'm not, why do you insist on continuing this farce?''
- ''I raised you''.- Odin said, approaching me.- ''I educated you by myself, I gave you my love and I also taught everything you know. I do not want to see you this way, my son. Please desists now''.
I looked at Odin, who in turn looked at me affectionately. 'Does he really believe he can make me change so easily? Fool'. However, I lowered my eyes and pretended a tremor of emotion, also pretended tears of repentance.
- ''Father''.- I said with false quavering voice, looking down.- ''Could you forgive me?''
Odin knelt before me, took my chin and saw my false tears.
- ''So you regret''.- Odin said softly.- ''I can see it in your eyes, my son. What you did both here and in the Midgard, you regret''.
'Naive'. I nodded slowly. Odin smiled warmly and broke the chains that held me prisoner. I was surprised, it seemed too easy, perhaps Odin's judgment was clouded by his affection for me and for his longevity, I did not care, I was finally free. At that moment Thor came in, he stood completely still when he saw me without chains and his expression became serious.
- ''Father?''.- he asked Odin while approaching cautiously.- ''What is happening?''
- ''Your brother has already suffered enough and has been indemnified for his actions, Thor''.- Odin said, turning to him.- ''Tonight we will celebrate Loki's return to our family''.
When Frigga found out about my liberation she hugged me tightly, crying as she repeated that I was her son and she loved me. It made me feel somewhat uncomfortable but I didn't care for that, I did not plan to stay in Asgard much longer. That night, when I was introduced back, everyone was completely silent and surprised, but nobody said anything against Odin's judgment. It was not wise.
A few days passed and, even then, no one other than Odin, Frigga and Thor spoke to me, the rest looked at me with hate, fear or both. I was beginning to get impatient, so I went to Thor's chambers to talk to him.
- ''Hello brother!''.- Thor said with cheerful voice, approaching me.- ''Is it something wrong?''
- ''Just passing by''.- I said, smiling amiably.- ''To see how you were''.
- ''I'm fine''.- he replied placing his clumsy huge hand on my shoulder.- ''Glad about you being yourself again''.
'I am more myself than you think'. I looked at Thor and saw he looked away toward the window. 'Oh! Perfect!'
- ''I see you a little decayed, Thor''.- I said softly.
- ''I'm all right, brother''.- he said stubbornly. However he approached the window and looked out. 'He's thinking about his human. What was her name? Ah, yes! Jane Foster'. I smiled inwardly.
- ''You miss her, right?''.- I approached the window.- ''I mean Jane''.
Thor quickly turned to me, surprised.
- ''I am sorry that the last time you were in Midgard''.- I continued.- ''You couldn't go to visit her because of my fault''.- I looked at him with faked remorse.
Thor's eyes softened and he sighed. 'Now I got you'.
- ''I miss her so much''.- he finally admitted, turning to look at the distance out the window.
- ''What if you asked the Allfather about going back to Midgard?''.- I inquired.- ''He can grant you that again, to be with her''.
- ''The Allfather is very tired, brother''.- Thor said with his voice filled with sorrow.- ''I don't want him to spend energies on a whim''.
- ''Going to see the woman you supposed to love is a whim?''.- I said in a honeyed voice. Thor looked back at me, his eyes shone with the tumult of emotions that my comment had unleashed inside him. 'Bingo!'I had forgotten just how simple Thor could be.
At that moment we were called for dinner but later Thor asked Odin to grant him his desire to return to Midgard with the human. Odin said that everything was OK, Thor could stay in Midgard until Allfather's time would have come and Thor had to return to the throne and be King of Asgard, since I was not interested at all. 'So much I had changed for a mere mortal?'I laughed at that thought and just went to where Odin and Thor were prepared to make the transportation ritual. When I appeared, Thor became puzzled.
- ''Since we said goodbye before, why are you here, brother?''.- he demanded distrustfully.
- ''I want to go to Midgard''.- I said with a shrug.- ''I have no plans to try to dominate humans again, or to destroy their planet, if that is what you fear''.- I stared at Thor.
- ''So, why do you want to go? You hate the Midgard''.
- ''I don't hate that world, far from it''.- I approached them.- ''I just want to get away from Asgard, this is no longer my home. Neither is Jötunheim, right? So as exile, Midgard is a good choice''.
- ''Do you really want that, Loki?''.- Odin said, serious but not angry.
- ''Yes, Allfather''.- I looked into his eyes and bowed my head, showing a simulated show of respect.- ''That's what I want''.
- ''So be it''.- he said quietly.- ''Prepare!''
Thor approached me and Odin made a thunderbolt transport us to Midgard, traveling between worlds is always stressful and disorienting enough. We passed Alfheim, Svartálfaheim and, finally, passed by the remains of Jötunheim. I wondered what would happen to my home planet, having killed my father, Laufey, the King of Jötunheim, and I was the legitimate heir who repudiated the planet and tried to destroy it. I smiled.
We arrived at Midgard in the middle of a layer of fog; I took a deep breath and heard car noises, human voices and more. 'Excellent!'
- ''I said I didn't intend to dominate humans or destroy the planet and that's true''.- I looked at Thor grinning cruelly.- ''But that does not mean I have to go with you''.
The look Thor gave me was one of incredulity, pain and betrayal. That look that I was sickened to see in him, I grinned some more, with a wave of my hand, I became invisible. 'The time of reunion has come, Yami Invers.''
