The sun will shine on us again

Chapter 8

When Loki escaped prison with the help of the Chitauri, Thor had searched for his brother in all the realms, but there was no sign of him.

All of Asgard was cursing him for what he had caused, and what he would cause if he ever returned. The Asgardians didn't want him to come back.

But despite all of that, Thor didn't stop looking for his brother, whom he had failed again.

"Did you find my son? "Frigga asked Thor when he returned from his second search in Vanaheim.

"No, Mother. No sign of Loki."

"Oh, Elsku barnið mitt, what if he is in danger? "she asked worriedly.

"I need to speak to father because our next search will be in Alfheim. "

~~~~~~~~

"Father, our next search will be in Alfheim. "Thor said, bowing to his king.

"Thor, you've been looking for a year and there is no sign of Loki. Heimdall can't see him. We don;t know what he's scheming."

"But Father! He is my brother. I need to know if he is fine and I will keep searching for him until I find him."Thor tried not to raise his voice, looking at his mother, Frigga, who was on the verge of tears.

"And he is my son! I want him back too, Thor, but we've been looking for a year! Warriors are complaining about these travels. "

"Odin! How dare you give up! I want my son back. " Frigga glared at him.

"He was the one who escaped with his Chituari. "

She started tearing up. "What if he is in danger? Please Odin. Bring my son back, please. "

"My love. . . "Odin said, but Frigga was already leaving the Throne room.

~~~~~~~~

Queen Frigga went to her younger son's room everyday, and sat there, crying for her lost child. She had tried to locate his magic like she had done when he was younger, but she couldn't find anything.

"Mother, I'm sorry,"Thor said when he entered the room and hugged his mother. "I will find him, Mother, I promise. "

Frigga went rigid and her eyes widened.

"Mother?" Thor asked, but she didn't answer.

"Loki. I can feel him, Thor. I can feel him. "

"You need to go now, his magic is weak but I can feel him." Frigga's beautiful face broke into a smile.

Thor was still trying to process what his mother was saying. Then, finally, it clicked. "Mother, what joyful news! I hope he is okay. Tell me where he is! "

"Midgard,"she said, making Thor tense.

"Midgard? Is he.... "

Frigga cut him off. "Go now. Please bring me back my son. "

"Of course, Mother. I will go to Midgard. "

"Don't tell your father. "she needed to make sure that her son was okay before letting Odin send someone to take him.

"Yes, mother. "

"Honey, I'm home." Loki jumped, hearing Tony's voice when he entered the living room.

It has been a week since Loki has escaped Thanos, and a week since Tony had found him in that shameful state. His magic had started to strengthen again, which was good, but at the same time, he might try to escape now that he was more powerful.

"Did you know that if they heard you say that in Asgard, they would call you an argr?" Loki glared at him.

"What does it mean? '' Tony asked, looking at him, curiously.

"It means unmanly. They also call male sorcerers that. "

"You mean... " Tony trailed off.

He seemed to have hit a nerve, because when Loki nodded at him, he saw tears welling up in his eyes. " I have never been liked by the Asgardians. I use magic and tricks instead of brawn."

Tony noted that this was the most Loki had opened up, which was good, in a way. He still flinched at any sound and was still having nightmares, though.

"Well I think that your magic is pretty awesome! When you're not using it in trying to kill us, anyway. Asgardians sound like assholes. "

"I didn't want to rule or kill you. He wanted the Tesseract and to collect the other Infinity Stones. "

"What? "

"I was hoping that Thor would stop him and the Chituari. "

"So, you wanted to lose? " Tony frowned.

"If my goal had been to win, I would have won easily.. "

"Holy shit! That's why everything was wrong with your plan. " Tony had gotten the answer to the question he had been puzzling over for an entire year.

"Odin was going to crown Thor as the king of Asgard. Thor wasn't ready. The first thing that he was going to do was destroy Jotunheim. They accused me of wanting the throne but I only ever wanted to be his equal."

"Then I discovered that I was a frost giant, a monster left by my own father to die. Odin had lied to me my entire life. "

"Loki, you don't have to continue."

Loki didn't want pity. Pity meant that he was weak. Worthless. Even his own father didn't want him.

" I tried to destroy Joutenheim, to show them that my loyalty lay with Asgard, but of course Thor stopped me. The Bifrost was destroyed, and Thor and I ended up dangling over the edge. "

"You know what I did? I let go. I let the void consume me. I had lost everything, and even death didn't want me. Thanos was the one who captured me, tortured me and promised that I would feel pain if I lost. " Loki was crying hard.

He hugged his knees to his chest and cried.

"The last words I told Frigga was that she wasn't my Mother. Do you have any idea how much I regret that?"
