Slight spoilers for Thor: The Dark World

Chapter Fifty Eight
In the days before the war, everything settled down. The angels stopped killing each other, and there was no crime. The whole earth didn't dare breathe.
We all knew it was coming, possibly with our deaths. And truly, the anticipation was almost worse than the actual war. So to pass the time, I visited Loki.
...
"Loki," Frigga said quietly.
"Hello, mother," Loki said, as he was marched towards Odin in chains. They rattled as he walked. "Have I made you proud?"
"Loki please, don't make this worse," Frigga said.
"Define worse," Loki said.
"Enough," Odin commanded. "I want to speak to the prisoner alone,"
Frigga left the room.
When she was gone, Loki started laughing. "I really don't see what all the fuss is about," he said.
"Do you not truly feel the gravity of your crimes?" Odin asked. "Wherever you go, there is war, ruin, and death."
"I went down to Midgard to rule the people of Earth as a benevolent god," Loki said. He waited a bit, then smirked. "Just like you."
"We are not gods," Odin said. "We are born; we live, we die. Just as humans do."
Loki shrugged. "Give or take five thousand years," he snorted.
"All this because Loki desires a throne," Odin said with disdain.
"It is my birthright!" Loki said angrily.
"Your birthright," Odin shouted. "Was to die!"
They argued for a bit more, until Odin revealed the truth. "The only reason you still live, is because of Frigga. You will spend the rest of your life in the dungeons, and never see her again, in person." They allowed (what I considered to be) astral projection talks. Loki would still be able to see her again, but he will never feel her embrace, her hands on his.
And he was lead into the dungeons.
...
"Odin continues to bring me new friends," Loki said. "How thoughtful."
"The books I sent. Did they not interest you?" Frigga asked.
"Is that how I'm going to while away eternity?" Loki asked. "Reading?"
"I've done everything in my power to make you comfortable," Frigga said.
"Have you?" Loki asked. He leaned towards her. "Does Odin share your concern? Does Thor? It must be so inconvenient for them, asking after me, day and night!"
"You know full well it was your actions that brought you here," Frigga said.
"My actions," Loki said. "I'm merely giving truth to the lie that I was told my entire life; that I was born to be a king."
"A king?" Frigga said. "A true king admits his faults. What of the lives you took on Earth?"
"A mere handful compared to the numbers that Odin has taken himself," Loki said.
"Your father-" Frigga began.
"HE'S NOT MY FATHER!" Loki shouted at her.
Frigga stared at him silently, until she asked, "Then am I not your mother?"
Loki let out a huff of breath, and said, "You're not."
"Hmp," Frigga said. "Always so perceptive, about everyone but yourself."
Loki sadly shook his head, and put his hand in Frigga's, only for it to fall right through. He watched as she disappeared from his eyes.
He sighed.
And he was alone.
...
Loki was laying in bed, tossing a cup into the air, when the prison break started. In another cell, a Dark Elf exploded, blasting everyone else contained in the cell.
The guards ran to the cell, as the Dark Elf picked up one of the men, clearly still alive, and pressed him to the force field locking them inside. The man screamed, and the guards watched as, using the man, the Dark Elf was able to destroy the barrier.
The guards stood no chance. The Dark Elf marched towards them, and easily killed them. Then he started freeing prisoners from their cells. Loki got up and walked to the front. He watched as the prisoners started running out the doors.
The Dark Elf walked to the barrier that separated him and Loki. Loki smiled, hoping that this creature would free him of his prison. The Dark Elf gave him an odd look, and then slightly shook his head. He turned, and slowly marched away.
"You might want to take the stairs to the left," Loki said.
The Dark Elf turned back and looked at Loki, before turning and sneaking away.
Loki settled back down in his bed. Well, that was interesting.
He sat on his bed, and faced the barrier. It would get even more interesting soon, he could tell. All he had to do was wait. After all, things were getting interesting..
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" a voice came from next to him.
He turned and saw who was sitting there. She was smart, young, familiar…and very, very, alive.
Oh, yes. This was very, very interesting.
