[AN: Ok yes he's not an Avenger but I love him and Tom Hiddleston did amazing so… here it is. Beware contains angst (the next one will be worse).]
{{Disclaimer: Still don't own Avengers but I am training a group of Ninja's to get it.}}
LOKI
Childish laughter filled the inter connected courtyards of the summer palace as Odin's sons chased each other around t he winding golden wall and hid behind the exotic jewel colored plants.
"I see you Loki!"
"Take that!"
"Aaaargh, you got me," the young blond boy cried out as he fell over dramatically.
"For once!" The smaller boy with black hair groaned and sat down, panting beside his brother. They both took a moment to catch their breath as six winged dragonflies flew overhead in the hot air. "Why'd you let me win?" The smaller boy asked his brother.
"What? I thought you were over there! That's a great trick Loki!"
"You think?"
"Yeah! But I won't always fall for it! Again?"
"Yeah!" Loki stood up to run but found his wrists encircled and held back, he pulled at them but the wouldn't give. He looked up into the older eyes of his brother, filled with sadness but more than that, disappointment. Anger surged in Loki and he shouted after Thor's receding back.
Loki awoke suddenly and he breathed deeply of musty air of his prison. "Not my brother," he muttered to himself, "not my home, never was. Lies, all of it… lies." But one small part of his heart that had not been corrupted, that pained him more than his pride and jealousy combined didn't believe the words.
