Chapter 10.

The Void as endless as it seemed sickened Kara as she tried to loosen the chain around her neck. If she could she would remember happier times from her past but there were

none. She was a thing created by dark magic so the Master would have a great warrior, a thing that could be easily disposed of. Looking around her cell Kara sighed

wondering what it was like to live a normal life but her thoughts were interrupted when the cell door opened and two Chitauri entered. Feeling the chain around her neck

removed Kara stood and followed the Chitauri ready for another day of training.

…..

Frigga felt weary as she sat for breakfast with her husband but upon seeing Loki and Jane enter the room she smiled and leaning toward Odin she whispered "Loki hasn't left

Jane's side since he started courting her".

Odin nodded his head and sipping his tea he said "it won't be long now until the two of them will be married. As for Thor I am worried about him, he has not joined us for

breakfast since Loki came home and his trip to Jotunheim is unsettling especially since he asked Heimdall to avert his gaze".

Frigga nodded her head and said no more when Loki and Jane sat at the table. Looking at the smile on Jane's face she asked "I hope my son is treating you well Jane?".

Loki chuckled and taking Jane's hand in his own he said "of course I treat her well Mother. Jane is everything to me, I love her and she loves me. We are very happy

together". Frigga nodded her head and returned to her breakfast.

Odin looked at Jane and said "Jane since you and my son have begun courting it is customary for you two to eventually marry. Does the topic of marriage bother you as I

have been informed that not all Midgardian couples marry"?

Jane looked at Loki before looking back at Odin and replying "no marriage does not bother me All Father. If I may ask when would Loki and I be expected to marry?".

Odin smiled and pouring another cup of tea for himself he replied "I'm afraid I cannot answer that question Jane as it is solely up to the both of you".

Jane nodded her head and feeling her stomach flip for the third time this morning she picked at her food. She normally didn't feel ill in the morning unless she had been out

drinking the night before but having not drank any alcohol since she arrived to Asgard this was quite strange.

After breakfast Frigga invited Jane to join her in the sewing room where she was making a tapestry of Loki and Jane while Odin asked Loki to walk with him.

Loki walked alongside his Father contemplating what the All Father would say as these kind of walks always had resulted in a long lecture from the King regarding something

of great importance. Clearing his throat Loki asked "is everything alright Father?".

Odin stopped walking and shaking his head he said "Loki Thor travelled to Jotunheim and I do not know why as he told Heimdall to avert his gaze. I fear that he may have

informed the Frost Giants of your existence and if he has I want you to be prepared for what any troubles this could cause you and Asgard".

Loki nodded his head shocked and staring down the hallway in thought he said "Father I could talk to Thor and make him open up about what happened on Jotunheim".

Odin shook his head and leaning on Gungnir he said "you could but he might not tell you what happened. There is a darkness invading Asgard and not I or Heimdall can figure

out what it is or where it comes from".

Loki nodded his head and clasping his hands behind his back he said "leave Thor to me Father, I will get the truth out of him I swear and then we will have an idea of what we

are up against".

Odin nodded his head slowly and placing his hand on his son's shoulder he said "just be careful Loki we lost you once, we can't lose you a second time". Loki nodded his head

and watched as his Father walked to the throne room before turning around and walking in the direction towards Thor's chambers.

…..

Thor pushed his breakfast away from him having eaten all he could and stood to his feet. Today he was to speak to Loki but since Loki had returned home Thor had been kept

away from him because of the little incident in the Healing Rooms. Picking up his hammer Thor sighed and hearing a knock on his chamber door he called to whoever it was to

enter.

Loki felt wary entering his brother's chambers after everything that had happened between them but after what his Father had told him he was determined to find out what

Thor was really up to. Seeing his brother already dressed with hammer in hand Loki said "Thor we need to talk about what really on Jotunheim".

Thor scoffed and rolling his eyes he said "nothing you need to worry about Loki. Shouldn't you be off doing something with Jane Foster this morning?"

Loki shook his head and replied "brother please whatever has happened on Jotunheim we can fix it together".

Thor looked at his hammer marvelling at how Loki was falling into the trap and nodding his head he said "thank you Loki but in order to fix the problem I have caused we

would have to travel to Jotunheim".

Loki worried his lip between his teeth fearing the Jotuns after what he himself had caused. Running his hand down his face he asked "did you tell the Jotuns of my existence

brother?".

Thor shook his head and replied "no Loki I would never do such a thing. In order for you to understand what I have caused you will need to see it for yourself".

Loki was wary of Thor's proposal but wanting to keeping Asgard safe he nodded his head and said "okay we will go to Jotunheim to fix the problem that you have caused but

then we come straight home. Agreed?".

Thor nodded his head in agreement and the two brothers travelled to the Bifrost. "Great Heimdall my brother and I have business on Jotunheim" said Thor as he approached

the Watcher.

Heimdall nodded his head and sticking his sword in the mechanism he said "if your return threatens Asgard the Bifrost will remain closed and the two of you will be left to die

in Jotunheim".

Nodding their heads Loki and Thor before feeling the pull of the Bifrost transporting them both to Jotunheim.

Loki looked around the frozen wasteland before turning to Thor and asking "so where about is this problem you have created?".

Thor pointed towards Laufey's castle and replied "over there brother but we must be quick as I do not plan on staying here much longer". Loki nodded his head and followed

Thor to the castle but upon reaching it Loki's heart began to thump wildly against his ribs as he saw Frost Giants emerge from shadows.

One Frost Giant approached them quickly and kneeling down in front of Loki he said "well the little runt is all grown up but not big enough to be a Frost Giant".

Loki looked at Thor and seeing his emotionless expression he spat "and I thought I was the God of Lies but I guess the same title goes to you now brother". Feeling his

weapons being removed by another he turned to face them only to come face to face with Kara the creation of the Master.

Kara smirked at Loki at tying his hands together she said "long time no see Loki. I should be thankful you escaped or I wouldn't have become Master's favourite".

Seeing five Chitauri emerge from the shadows Loki looked at Kara and whispered "it doesn't have to be like this, you can escape the Master and live a happy life on one of the

Nine Realms".

Kara shook her head and tightening the ropes that bound him she said "I was only created to lead the Chitauri in case you failed. There is no life for me if I escaped and you

of all people should know that Loki of Jotunheim".

Thor walked away from the crowd that had gathered delighted that he had finally got rid of the pest that had plagued Asgard. When he was sure he was far enough away from

the palace he called to Heimdall and seeing the Bifrost open something strange happened. The Mjolnir that was in his hand suddenly felt too heavy and he dropped it. Not

being able to retrieve it he was transported back to Asgard.
