"Well, until you talk to us, you'll have to stay in Loki's old cell," Tony says, smirking at Loki.

By Fury's orders, the large glass cell had been moved into the tower as soon as S.H.I.E.L.D. had been told that Loki was moving into the tower.

All of the Avengers had protested, except for Thor, who had mixed feelings.

Thor still remembers the events that brought his brother here today, as did Loki.

/Flashback for Loki and Thor\\

Loki's P.O.V.:

Loki loved Frigga dearly. She was really the most attentive to him when he was a child. Odin didn't really know how to connect with Loki, but that doesn't mean he didn't try. He truly did love Loki, he just connected much more with Thor as they were cut from the same cloth. Frigga and Loki had this beautiful, sensitive, more artistic relationship. And this bond continued as Loki learned magic from his loving mother, Frigga.

Loki still felt heartache. Knowing that in his last moments with his mother, he had fought with

her. He remembered it all too well, as if it had happened just moments ago.

"Odin continues to bring me new friends. How thoughtful."

"The books I sent, do they not interest you?"

Loki turned to his mother as they stood in his cell. "Is that how I'm to wile away eternity, reading?"

"I've done everything in my power to make you comfortable, Loki."

"Have you? Does Odin share your concern? Does Thor? It must be so inconvenient for them asking after me day and night."

"You know full well that your actions have brought you here."

"My actions. I was merely giving truth to the lie that I've been fed my entire life, that I was born to be a king."

"A king? A true king admits his faults. What of the lives you took on Earth?"

"A mere handful compared to the numbers Odin has taken himself."

"Your father-"

Before the Allmother could finish speaking, Loki interrupted her. "He's not my father!"

"Then am I not your mother?"

Loki hesitated for a moment. "You're not."

Tears welled up in Frigga's eyes and she smiled at her son sadly. "Always so perceptive about everyone but yourself."

She took a step towards him and extended her hands. Loki went to touch her hand but his hand went right through hers, as she was only a hologram. He looked at the hologram with sadness as it disappeared.

Knowing that he had played a part in Frigga's death, even though it wasn't intentional, made him feel all the more guilty. For had he not told that Kursed to take the stairs to the left, then the Kursed may not have made it's way to the room in which Frigga was in. Maybe if he hadn't said anything, Frigga would still be alive.

General P.O.V.:

But if one looks at it in a certain way, then they just might thank Loki for his mistake.

Frigga's death is what pulled the brothers together and it was emotive for both of them. If Frigga hadn't died, then the brothers never would've fought together.

Now the brothers were together again, but at such a considerable cost. It was a terrible sacrifice. Sad; that the only thing that brought the brother's together caused such a permanent heartbreak.

To say that the brothers were not pleased with themselves after the battle, however, would be a lie. They had avenged their mother's death, after all. Thor defeated Malekith and Loki killed the very same Kursed that had stabbed Frigga's heart.

For Loki, knowing he killed his adoptive mother's murderer brought the frost giant a sense of peace and relief, from the weight of his guilt. He would always carry it with him, but at least it had lessened.

Thor's P.O.V.:

It wasn't too long before Loki had healed from the wounds that he had obtained in the battle of Svartalfheim. The very same battle in which he and the god of thunder had fought valiantly against the Dark Elves. However, Loki had been injured.

Thor had to leave his brother behind, as he could not carry his brother's everywhere he went, for it would jeopardize the mission of defeating Malekith. After all, Thor would not be able to fight to his full extent if he was constantly worrying for his brother's safety.

Luckily, Heimdall saw everything and sent one of Asgard's warriors to assist Loki. As soon as Thor saw his brother and the guard being teleported away by the Bifrost, he and Jane had continued on the mission by themselves.

When Thor received word that his brother was completely healed, he made haste for Asgard to see him.

To his dismay however, Loki had been returned to his cell as soon as he was well. It seemed that his brother would not be released from his punishment as Thor had hoped. Did he not deserve at least some leniency after all that he had done, for not just Asgard but all of the Nine Realms, in the battle against the Dark Elves?

Thor planned to correct this.

He walked through Frigga's garden and stopped for a moment as he approached an unfamiliar statue. It had been quite some time since he last visited the gardens. Curiously, he approached the statue.

It was new and exquisitely done. Thor gazed at it in awe.

It was a lifesize statue of Frigga. A memorial to his mother, in honor of her sacrifice. It was clearly made by the finest sculpture in all of Asgard. It captured her beauty and grace perfectly. Her lips were in a small, gentle smile; a smile that Thor missed dearly.

He held back the tears. How he wished he could go back and relive his moments with Frigga when he was just a young boy, as he now cherished those memories so.

He knew his brother felt the same way. The thought of his brother reminded him of the reason he had been walking through the gardens in the first place.

To reach the throne room.

He took one last look at the statue of his mother and said, "I will fix this mother. I swear, that I will find a way to heal Loki's damaged heart and help him find himself again. You have my word."

As he walked off in the direction of the throne room, he could have sworn he heard Frigga's voice softly say into the breeze, "I know you will, Thor. I know you will."

/End of Flashback\\

Thor snaps out of his flashback as soon as he hears Tony snap his fingers in front of his face and says, "Hey! Point Break! Snap out of it! You daydreaming about Jane or something?"

Thor shakes his head slightly to clear it before redirecting his attention back to the group. "My apologies. It appears my thoughts were otherwise occupied."

"No shit, Sherlock," Clint mumbles.

Steve looks at the god of thunder with a hint of concern, "Are you feeling alright, Thor? You were disengaged for quite a while."

Thor nods and gives Steve a reassuring smile, "Yes. I am perfectly alright. Thank you for your concern, Steve."

Steve hesitates but says, "Well, if you're certain-"

"I am. Not to worry," Thor interrupts.

Steve nods and says, "I'll take (y/n) to Loki's old cell."

Reader's P.O.V.:

"Is a cell absolutely necessary?" you ask, raising an eyebrow.

"Yes. Until you tell us who you are," Natasha says plainly.

"At least let the young maiden cleanse herself. She is absolutely filthy," Loki says, gesturing to you.

You glare at the raven haired god.

"I agree. I'll take her to the showers," Natasha says.

"Shower?" You ask, confused.

"Guess you'll have to teach her how to use a shower!" Tony says.

"Fine," Natasha shrugs before guiding you down the halls of the tower.
