Chapter 11.

Loki sat in what he figured was a cell as the Chitauri conversed with the Frost Giants. Shaking his head he scolded himself as he should have seen what Thor was up

to and then he thought of Jane, sweet Jane who loved him through all his faults. Thor was free of the second prince now to do what ever he wanted to Jane Foster

and the people of Asgard would have no idea what their prince would have done to the second prince. Clearing his head of these thoughts Loki stood up and thought

of a way to escape. If he could somehow break the ropes that bound his wrists he'd have a better chance but these ropes didn't look like ordinary ropes they looked

like they were made with a substance from the Void, but what?

Pacing the cell for a little while Loki thought of his magic but without knowing what the ropes were made of he would just tire himself using constant spells and then

where would that get him? Sitting back down Loki stared at the wall desperately trying to find the way to freedom in its stonework when the door opened and Kara

stepped into the Cell with a plate of food.

Throwing the plate on the floor in front of him she said "here's your dinner runt". She watched as Loki pushed the food away before saying "tell me about Mjolnir

Loki".

Loki smiled and looking up at Kara he asked "you are not worthy of such a weapon, only the son of Odin is so you can".

Kara glared at Loki and laughing quietly she said "Odin certainly has you fooled about Thor being the only one to wield Mjolnir. If this Thor is so mighty how come his

mighty hammer was left behind when he travelled back to Asgard".

Loki shook his head shocked that Thor had not taken Mjolnir back with him and standing up he snapped "I don't believe you Kara".

Kara tapped her finger against her chin and beckoning him with her head she said "come and I'll show you runt. Then you will see that not even the son of Odin is

strong enough to stop my Master or his army".

Loki followed Kara out of the cell and out of the palace and into the frozen lands of Jotunheim not knowing what to expect. He knew Kara was a powerful fighter and

fighting her now would only result in his death but maybe if he was lucky Heimdall would see him and send help.

…..

Odin had seen the Bifrost open and so had Frigga and Jane. Not knowing what was happening the three of them travelled down to the Observatory to see what

Heimdall could tell them.

Heimdall stood tall as Odin entered the Observatory and seeing Frigga and Jane beside him bowed and awaited what the King would ask of him.

Odin approached the mechanism and looking at Heimdall he asked "who has travelled out of Asgard Heimdall?".

Before Heimdall could answer he heard Thor call out to him and inserted the great sword into the mechanism and opened the Bifrost transporting the two princes

home. When he saw only Thor appear he looked to Odin and said "both princes travelled to Jotunheim my King but Prince Loki has not come back".

Odin looked at Thor and annoyed that he had travelled to Jotunheim again and what was worse he brought Loki with him and left him there. "Thor why did you and

Loki travel to Jotunheim and why did Loki not return with you?".

Thor looked at his Father then at his Mother and finally his gaze landed on Jane who looked at him, her eyes pleading for an answer before replying "I went to

Jotunheim to give Loki back to the Frost Giants and to the Creation of the Master".

Hearing the anguished wails of Frigga and Jane Odin looked at Thor and standing back he asked "you have caused enough trouble Thor, why do this to Loki and to

this family?".

Thor looked at Odin and shaking his head he replied "I had no choice, the creation of the Master told me that if I delivered the runt back to the Master, he would not

attack the Nine Realms. Asgard would be safe".

"How could you do this to us Thor? You could have told us of this creature's manipulation on you instead of handing your brother over like something of

unimportance" asked Frigga as she tried to calm Jane who was hysterically crying.

Thor frowned and feeling his Father's hand hit his head he said "I'm sorry Mother I should have come to you and Father first but I thought this was the only way".

Odin turned around to a Palace Guard outside the Observatory and commanded "gather my army and have Sleiphnir ready. We are going to Jotunheim to put a stop

to this nonsense". The palace guard nodded his head and left to do what had been commanded of him while Odin led his family back up the Bifrost inwardly preparing

himself for what he would face on Jotunheim.

…..

The walk across the frozen landscape was tiresome as Loki was led by Kara and three Chitauri to see what he hoped was not true. Looking at Kara he asked "why not

try to escape the Master?".

Kara shook her head and looking at Loki she said "don't be ridiculous runt, even if I did escape the Master would still be linked to my mind controlling me every

thought and move. You should know that".

Loki felt sorry for Kara even if she was created by magic he possessed. Shaking his head he said "Kara I was treated by the Healers for that kind of manipulation, you

can live a better life".

Kara listened to Loki and looking back at the Chitauri she whispered "you're only saying that so you can escape, you are the God of Lie after all".

Loki shook his head and said "if I was to escape Kara I'd take you with me to Asgard so you can live in peace. You are only a child and should not be forced to live

and die at his hands".

Kara shrugged her shoulders and said "I'm not a child, I'm fourteen years old but what you said did sound nice but I can't leave the Master".

Loki didn't say another word as they continued walking across the frozen landscape. It wasn't long before they reached an object left behind by Thor and looking

down it Loki said "Mjolnir shouldn't be here".

Kara kicked at the hammer and said "no it shouldn't but I suppose Thor left it here to dispose of it".

Loki placed his bound hands around the handle and whispered "who should ever hold this hammer if he be worthy shall possess the power of Thor". He knew it was a

long shot but why not. He pulled the handle of Mjolnir and when Mjolnir left the ground without any resistance he said "I'm worthy but how?".

Kara looked at Loki and turning to the three Chitauri she attacked them suddenly realising that maybe just maybe there was a chance for escape. Loki watched Kara

dispose of the three Chitauri before saying "I hope you did that because you want to escape the Master".

Kara nodded her head and looking at Mjolnir in Loki's hand she said "you could have helped. I heard that hammer is very powerful".

Loki shook his head and said "I may be worthy to hold it but it belongs to Thor and I would rather him use it in battle. Now come Kara I will take you to Asgard where

you will be safe".

Kara looked at Loki's outstretched hand fearing what lay ahead but pushing the fear aside she placed her hand in his. Loki pulled her closer to him and said "do not

worry Kara you will love Asgard". Calling out to Heimdall Loki braced himself and upon seeing the Bifrost opening pulling him, Kara and Mjolnir to Asgard he smiled

thankful to be going home.
