It had been three days since Loki had disappeared with Tony's body. And it had been a little over two days since the prisoner that had assassinated him had escaped.

Thor paced around his brother's room. He didn't understand how Loki could do it. He just took Tony's body. He knew that his brother had been especially fond of him, but he just didn't understand.

He whirled around as the door opened. The God of Mischeif ddn't look at him as he entered..

"Loki...what have you done?" he asked. The god looked at him. "What do you mean? And why are you in my room? You know I don't like it when others enter my chambers with out my permission." Loki said tiredly. Thor glared at him. "Tony Stark. You took his...body." he said. Loki looked away from him. "I know what I am doing Thor." he snapped. His brother grabbed his shoulder.

"Loki...I know you cared for him greatly, but he is dead. We all saw his breath cease. You cannot reverse that." Loki glared at him. "You know not what you speak of. Let me be Thor. And stay out of this." Loki snarled, turning away. "Loki...I think we should return the Man of Iron to Midgard. It is only right that h is put to rest by his own people." Thor said.

Loki glared at him. "Loki...I did not mean-" he began as he saw the tears forming in his brother's eyes. "You are to stay out of this Thor. I mean it. Do not follow me." he said, leaving Thor alone.


Loki stared at the man standing across from him on the Bifrost. He had cloaked them in a shield so Heimdal wouldn't be able to see their interaction.

"I have made my decision." he said. The man smiled. "I hope it was the right one." he said. Loki ignored that. "What must I do?" he demanded.

"You are to go back to the Void. And wait for Thanos to retrieve you." he said. Loki stared at him. "He wants me to...go back into the Void?" he asked in disbelief. The man smiled. "Of course. It is only logical that you return to the place you were in when he found you."

Loki sighed. "Anything else?" he asked. "Just make sure to bring the tessaract." he said, vanishing. Loki stood there for a moment before removing the shield. As he mounted his horse and went back to the castle, Heimdal watched him suspiciously. He still didn't trust the god after what had happened.

Loki opened the doors to the weapons vault as carefully as he could so he wouldn't set off any alarms. The guards had just passed by a few minutes before so he didn't have much time.

He stepped into the room, looking around. It was dark, the only source of light the blue cube near the back of the room. He went over to the light and stood over the weapon, hesitating before picking up the case. As he turned to leave, something else caught his eye. A larger blue object with cold smoke rolling off of it. 'The Casket.' he thought. He looked at the door, knowing he didn't have much time left.

He picked up the second weapon and vanished it along with the first. He had a feeling he'd need it later. And it was technically his, since his real father, Laufey was dead now.

He looked around as he left the room, closing the heavy door quietly. Almost right after three, a guard came around the corner. Loki turned, making it look like he had been studying the paintings on the walls. "Prince Loki." the guard said in greeting. Loki nodded to him as he left, going back to his room.

He removed a panel in his wall and removed some supplies. Daggers, poisons and other weapons were among his stash. He vanished those so they wouldn't be on his person for when he was checked, and he was sure he would be..

He turned as his door opened and Thor walked in. "Loki. We must talk." he said. The god glared at him. "Do you never knock? And did I not tell you to leave me alone?" he asked. Thor sighed. "Loki...I wish to help you. Just tell me what you desire of me." Thor said. Loki shook his head. "I must do this on my own." he said pushing past hs brother. Thor followed him out and Loki closed and locked the door.

"I shall be gone for a while...perhaps longer than that. Do not worry about me. I can take care of myself." he said. "Loki, where-" he broke off as Loki vanished.


Loki stood on the edge of the rainbow bridge, looking down into the darkness. He didn't want to do this again. He smiled as Heimdal slowly approached him.

"Loki, what are you doing?" Loki looked at him. "Heimdal...I have always admired you. Able to stand so perfectly still, listening to all of the universe at once." he said. Heimdal nodded. "It is my duty as the Guardian of the Bifrost. None escape my watch." he said. Loki nodded.

"If I die...will you be able to see me?" he asked. He smiled at the Watcher's confused look. "What are you getting at Loki?" he asked. Loki just smiled at him again.

"Goodbye Heimdal. And tell mother if I do not return, then I am sorry for the pain I have caused her for my existence. And to Thor also." he said as he jumped. Heimdal just stared as the younger god disappeared into the darkness of space. He didn't know how he was going to explain this to the King. But, especially not to the God of Thunder.


Author's Note: So just so you know, in actual Norse Mythology, Heimdal, Thor, Loki and Balder are all sons of Odin. Odin has a lot more children, but I don't know who they are yet. I think Frigga and Freya, who are twins, are his children too. Hope you enjoyed this chapter. ;)
