Thor ran into his mother's chambers. He saw Odin lying down holding Frigga in his arms. Thor was in shock. He stood on the steps dumbfounded. Jane rounded the comer and surveyed the scene. Had this been something she was cause to?

Odin scooped up Frigga and carried her out. The guards lined the halls as he carried her. Thor followed with tears flowing down his face. Jane walked behind them.

Loki looked up and realised that it was eerily quiet. There were few guards around. He picked up his book and began to read. He felt strange. He was uneasy. He read for a few more minutes. He felt sad and tired but wasn't sure why.

One of the Einherjar guards came up to his cell.

"Prince Loki."

He looked up and didn't respond.

"...Sire, the queen is dead."

Loki nodded politely and turned back to his cell. He now understood the sadness. He placed down his book and stood in the centre of his cell. He then clenched his fists and propelled his effects with telekinesis.

Thor stood next to Jane as they watched his mother become one with the firmament. He hung his head and walked back to his room.

He walked past Loki's room and he knew he was in the dungeons. He didn't know if he should go see him.

Loki walked around his cell in a daze. He began to undress. He took off his boots and his coat and punched and kicked his walls occasionally as he yelled.

Loki was powerless. He didn't know what happened. Just the one person who loved him was now gone. He stepped on the broken glass from the pitcher. He stumbled and fell to his knees. He pulled his foot up to see and pulled out the broken shard.

He cried out for her but the tears were running dry. He was drained. Loki crawled over to the wall and then started to attack it. His blood smeared on the wall. He slumped against it and then slid down it. Sitting on the floor back against the wall.

He screamed out loud and then sat there. He was thinking of what he could have done.

Thor made his way down to the dungeons. He approached Loki's cell slowly. He stood looking at his brother approach him.

"Hello brother, come to gloat?"

"Stop it Loki, no more illusions." Loki glared at him then closed his eyes and the cell changed. His books were torn, furniture destroyed. A partially dressed and dishevelled Loki sat against the wall with one leg folded out.

"Now you see me brother." Loki's eyes were red raw and he looked exhausted. Thor swallowed and wondered if he should follow through.

He had made his offer. But now what was Thor to do. He didn't trust Loki but had promised him revenge. He needed a plan, and he needed Loki to stick to it. Thor removed the force field and walked in to the cell. He squatted down and went to touch Loki. He didn't know where to start.

"Loki, can you heal yourself?"

"I don't think I want to." Loki looked down at his foot and his bruised hands.

"I don't know any spells to help you." Thor looked around Loki's cell and gathered up his cloths and then looked over at his bed. He pulled the sheets up on it and made it. Then lay his cloths on the end. He placed his boots together then went back and scooped up his injured brother and carefully placed him on the bed. "Please Loki, try and heal."

Thor held his face and kissed him, at first on the cheek then on the lips. Loki closed his eyes and a glow passed over him. Thor picked up his brush and began to fix his hair. He gently brushed his frizzed hair. Slowly it became its usual smooth look.

Loki closed his eyes and smiled a bit. The feeling of his hand as it followed the brush reminded him so of mother. Thor finished brushing Loki's hair, and then kissed his cheek. "Ok, now let's get you dressed." Thor pulled out a draw from under the bed and took out some clean cloths. He helped Loki strip off his shirt and put on a new one. He helped him put his boots on and then stood him up.

Thor moved behind him and helped him slip his long coat on. "That's better." Thor smiled and then took Loki's hand. "We are going to break Jane out and take her off Asgard. Draw out Maliketh and destroy the Aether."

"How do you expect to do that?"

"You will use some of your deception. You will cast a spell to make it look like you have chopped my hand off and as Maliketh draws the Aether from Jane, you lift the spell and I will destroy it with Mjolnir." Thor led him out the cell and the hidden path out of the dungeons.

"That sounds like something I would do. This is so unlike you brother. So clandestine!"

Thor paced down the hallway with Loki behind him. He stopped near the end of the hall. They waited for the guards to go. "Thor. Now what is your plan? I thought we were going to leave? You're going the wrong way."

"Quiet Loki." Thor looked over to see Jane and Sif. He reached down and grabbed Loki's cuffs. "Now behave." Thor jerked it around a bit.

"Hey!" Loki complained. They walked over towards Jane. She slapped him. "Oooo. I like her!"

"Loki." Thor glared at him.

"So Jane, want to play?" he held up his cuffed hands. Thor the squirrel gripped him and he buckled over. "Augh!" Loki slowly got up from his knees. He then glared up at Thor. Thor grabbed his collar and they headed off to the throne room.

They got out of the skiff on the cliff. Svaltahiem was very dusty. Loki stopped and crouched down and Thor moved over to him. "Loki, Maliketh is down there. Let's go."

"Thor, I need to go."

"Yeah that's what I said." Thor went to stand but Loki didn't.

"Thor.." Loki looked a bit distressed.

"Seriously?"

"Can you uncuff me or help me go? I don't really want to wet my pants before a fight." Thor groans and reaches down.

"Loki stop holding yourself so I can uncuff you." Thor tugged at his wrists. Loki resisted and dropped his knees to the ground. Thor pulled off the cuffs and then Loki quickly pushed down his pants. He sprayed a bit in his hands as he tried to get it out.

Loki moaned as he pissed a bit in his pants. He exhaled hard as his heavy stream hit the ground in front of him. Thor stay next to him and placed his hands on his shoulders. Loki finished and Thor helped him stand up and took a hold of him and gave him a squeeze before shoving him back in his pants.

"You still don't trust me brother?"

"No."

"Neither would I."

Loki lay on the ground gripping his side. Thor ran over to him. Jane was a bit shocked. She thought they were immortal. Thor held Loki close. She walked closer to see if she could hear him. Thor then screamed out. "No!" he looked tearfully up at Jane. He held him close. The storm started to build. Thor's emotions were influencing the weather.

"Thor, we need to get out of here!"

"I'm not leaving him, not again." Thor scooped up his lifeless body and carried him along the edge of cliff. They found a small cave and went inside. Thor sat down on a rock and cradled him close to his chest.

"Thor, he's dead, leave him."

"He's not." Thor squeezed him tight and knew that Loki would normally respond to such a tight hug and jokingly complaint to Thor. He slid his hand down his back and under his bottom. He felt damp and strange. "Loki?" Thor held him aside and moved Loki's coat aside and then pulled open the back of his pants.

"Thor what are you doing?"

"He has just defecated." He must just be unconscious. I have to get him cleaned up and help him wake up."

"He shit himself? Great. Are you sure he didn't just do that because he was now dead and his body has just relaxed?"

"No. I'm sure he is just like sleep. But I think you call it a coma." Thor cradled him and they walked through the cave.

They then suddenly appeared in the carpark. Thor looked around. "It's Midgard."

Jane unlocked the car and Thor carefully laid Loki on the back seat and then sat down in the passenger seat. Jane drove them home with a scowled on her face.

Thor followed Jane through the door. "Jane!" Erik called out. "You went to Asgard?"

"Hello Erik, are you well?"

"Thor, is that your brother?" Erik was cautious.

"He needs help." Thor adjusted his grip and rocked Loki closer. He carried him down the hall to the bathroom and started to take off his cloths. He slipped off his boots and jacket and then took off his pants. "Jane!" Thor called out.

"What?!" she was not impressed. She came in to the bathroom and held her nose at the smell. It wasn't that bad but she was exaggerating it.

"Jane, can you take Loki's clothes and wash them for him?"

"No! I can't believe you! His pants are covered in shit! Just throw them out." She stormed off. Thor sighed and lay him down carefully on the floor and put a rolled up towel under his head for support. He walked over to the wash tub and began to rinse off his cloths. Once the bulk was cleaned he then put them into the washer.

Thor turned on the bath tap and lowered Loki down into it. He began to wash him off and when he was satisfied he was majority clean he put in the plug. The bath began to fill and Thor squeezed in the shampoo to make bubbles. He smiled as they reminded him of Loki's magic. Unfortunately they reacted with the water and foam began to billow out of the bath tub.

Thor turned off the tap and laughed. He pushed the bubbles away to uncover Loki. He held his neck and then leaned in and kissed him. Loki slowly opened his eyes. He felt good in the warm bath.

"Thor?"

"I knew you weren't dead. Can you heal yourself yet?" Thor began to gently wash him with a large sponge. Loki smiled and watched him. Jane came in to see what was going on and she screamed.

"Oh my god! What have you put in the bath?!" the floor was totally covered in a thick heap of bubbles.

"Loki likes bubbles." Thor justified his foam room. Loki turned to him and smiled.

"It's true, I do like them." He then kissed Thor's cheek.

"Just another mess you need to clean up!" Thor stood up and then placed his hand on Loki's head.

"Jane." Thor turned to Loki. "Hey, I'll be back. Keep washing yourself. I will come back and dry you off.

After about 20 minutes of begging and cooersion, Thor managed to get Jane to calm down. She left the bedroom and Thor walked into the bathroom. He took the cloths out of the washer and put them in the dryer.

"So, let's get you dried off." Thor reached down and pulled the drain plug. Loki grabbed his arm and directed his hand to his penis. "Loki, it's probably not a good idea."

Thor still gripped him and Loki raised his hips up and down. "Please Thor. I nearly died. I need you."

"Ok. Look Ill wank you. Will that please you?" Thor helped him out of the bath. Loki was now well hard and pushing himself against Thor's thigh.

"Mmm. I'd like that." He leaned up and kissed him. Thor spun him around and reached down over him. He gripped him firmly and started to wank him hard. Loki slumped forward and placed his hands on the wall for support. "Oh Thor!"

He kept pulling him hard and fast. Thor then slipped his finger up inside and Loki arched his back in reaction. He moaned loudly and Thor was able to make him cum quick.

"Feel better now?"

"Yes brother." Loki hugged him and Thor continued to dry him off. Thor keeps a towel and wraps it around Loki's waist. He then recuffed him. "Hey!"

"Loki you are still trouble. Now just play the game. I will get your cloths and you are going to remain in cuffs." Loki sulked and Thor took him to the bedroom. "Now, just wait here till I get you something to wear." Thor began to look through the draws but there was nothing.

He went out to see Erik. "Do you have some pants Loki could wear till his cloths are dry?"

"Oh, no. Not here." Erik looked around.

"That's ok. He can stay in his towel for the moment. Do you have anything to drink?" Thor looked around. Erik nodded. He went to the fridge and pulled out some beers. Thor smiled and sculled one.

"Thirsty?" Erik asked.

"Another!" Thor cheered. Erik complied and they grabbed some more beers. Thor sat down next to Loki and Erik sat beside him and they drank. Loki tugged at Thor's arm.

"Can I have one brother?" he said softly. Thor pulled Loki up to sit on his lap side on and he held his beer up so he could drink his. Loki held up his cuffed hands to the bottle. Thor let him take it and he grabbed another beer form the table and chinked bottles with Erik then Loki. Jane stood with her hands on her hips.

Darcy and Ian came in and saw them on the couch. "Oh can I have one!?" Darcy grabbed a beer and sat on the chair opposite. She looked over at the men. "So what is going on here? Erik, why do you do not have any pants on and Loki just a towel?"

"I think better." Erik responded. Thor looked down at Loki then to Darcy.

"He just had a bath, but his cloths aren't dry."

"Ok." Ian picked up a beer and sat on the arm of the chair next to Darcy.

The mood relaxed and the conversation turned to the Aether and the convergence. Loki stayed on the couch as the others got up and walked to the dining room and looked over maps and other information.

It was boring for Loki and he just sat watching Thor, who also began to loose interest also. He tried to offer information but he couldn't convey his info in a way they would understand. Thor took a brake and went got Loki's cloths out of the dryer and came into the lounge.

Jane looked over and Erik and the others turned to see what she was watching.

Thor uncuffed him and took off his towel. He then proceeded to help him dress. Thor looked up as Loki had his back to them. He was perplexed by what they were looking at. He resumed helping him. Then he cuffed him again.

"Thor, do I have to?"

"Yes." He patted him on the head and handed him another beer. "Just stay here."

It's been nearly an hour and little progress is made till Erik identifies a connection with monuments built 5000 years ago.

"Thor!" Loki yells from the couch.

"Shut up Loki! I busy!" Thor spun around and glared at him. Jane smiled.

"Thor! I need to go to the bathroom!" Loki sat holding himself.

"It's down the hall!" Loki raises his cuffed hands.

"Please uncuff me." Thor grabs him and pulls him to his feet.

"No, you can piss with your hands cuffed."

Loki leans in, "Pleas Thor, I really have to go." Loki holds himself and crosses his legs. He whispers again. "I don't just have to piss."

"Augh!" Thor sighs. "What do you want!?"

"Thor you could do three things. Uncuff me and let me go. Don't uncuff me and help me go or .." Loki whispered close to Thors ear.

"Or what?!"

"Please, I don't want the third option." Loki begged desperately.

Thor whispered back. "What is option three?"

"Really? You stupid oaf. It's me having to go and not being able to undress." He sobbed.

"Ok. Go to the bathroom, I'll be there in a moment."

"I can't." Thor put his arm under Loki's waist and helped him shuffle down the hall. Loki moaned slightly. Thor stood him in the bathroom and was about to undo his cuffs. "Oh Thor!"

"Loki?" He then sobbed and slightly stepped back from Thor. "Loki!" Thor grabbed him and went to undo his pants as he saw the piss trail on the floor.

"Stop! Leave me alone!" Loki pulled away.

"Loki let me help you."

"It's too late! I told you had to go! Why didn't you believe me!?" Loki screamed. Thor took off his cuffs and pulled Loki close.

"Let me help you." Thor grabbed him and started to help him undress. Loki screamed at him.

"Don't fucking touch me! No never again!" Thor was hurt. He backed up slowly and stood in the hall. He turned to head back to Jane and the others. Jane heard the yelling and moved to the hallway.

"Oh you have got to be fucking kidding me!" Jane shouted.

"What?" Thor said softly. Then he looked down and saw the trail of piss dribbled up the hallway that Loki had left. "Oh." He realised he needed to help Loki even if he didn't want it.

He turned back and walked into the bathroom. He saw Loki trying to undress, but was having difficulty. He moved behind him and helped him with his jacket and placed it aside. He squatted down and supported Loki's leg as he helped him take off his boots. Thor stood facing him and carefully undid Loki's pants and slid them down. Loki stepped out of them and Thor did his best to not cringe at the mess and the smell. "Loki, I just washed your cloths."

He began to wash out the majority of the mess and then turned the pants fully inside out. Then he filled the sink with warm water and poured in some soap powder that he saw near it. He turned back to Loki and helped him step into the shower. He unhooked the shower hose and rinse off the back of Loki's thighs. Loki lifted off his shirt and tossed it on the floor. Thor hooked the shower back up and let it spray warm water down over Loki.

He bent down and picked up the shirt and put it with his other dirty cloths. Thor turned off the shower and put in the plug. He began to fill the bath and Loki just stood still. Thor began to undress and carefully placed his clothes on a chair. By the time he was fully naked the bath was half filled. He hadn't noticed, or if he did, did not care that Jane, Selvig, Ian and Darcy were now at the door. Thor stepped in the bath behind Loki. He helped him sit down and he sat down behind him.

He put his legs either side of Loki's and drew him back so his back was resisting on Thor's chest. Thor lifted Loki's arm and began to wash it gently. Loki was much calmer. Loki moaned and tipped his head back. Thor smiled and rubbed his hands over Loki's chest. Loki sat up and turned. He looked intently at Thor's hair. He saw a small jug near the bath and he scooped it into the bath water and gently poured it over Thor's head.

He picked up a bottle of shampoo and began to squeeze some of it into Thor's hair. He sat patiently and let his little brother tend to him. Loki became focused on washing his golden hair. Loki knelt up out of the bath to get a better access. He smiled slightly as he saw Thor liked this. He rinsed out his hair and then sat back on his heels.

"Loki, would you like me to wash your hair?" His response was a silent smile and a slight nod. He sat down into the bath and brought his knees to his chest. Thor cupped his hand under Loki's ear and held his head firmly. He wrapped the other arm under Loki's waist for stability. He leaned him slowly back. Loki was a bit apprehensive. Thor lowered him till the back of his head touched the water. Ian and Darcy were a bit embarrassed when they saw this affection. They decided to leave.

Thor slowly raised him back up and Loki put his hands on Thor's chest. He then closed his eyes as his strong hands moved through his hair. Surprisingly gentle fingers massaged the shampoo into his scalp. Loki moaned and smiled. Thor chuckled. He winced off his hair and then continued to wash him. His hand tickled Loki's side. He splashed the water.

"Thor! Stop!" he giggled. Thor saw this pleasure and decided to increase his exploration. He pulled Loki in close and tickled him again. Thor kissed the side of Loki's forehead.

"I'm glad you feel a bit better." He brushed Loki's hair from his face. The water started to drain away. "Oh Loki! did you kick out the plug?" He laughed.

Thor stood and stepped out of the bath and helped Loki to climb out. Thor began to dry him off and he wrapped a towel around his own waist. They turned and saw Jane and Selvig still there. Loki leaned into Thor's chest.

"Thor, I'm feeling pretty tired."

"Ok, let's get some rest." Thor looked to Jane. "Oh do you have somewhere we can sleep?"

Selvig nodded. "Yes, you can have my bed, I will sleep on the couch." Thor nodded in appreciation.

"No he can't." Jane interrupted. "Thor will stay with me. Erik you rest in your bed and you can share with Ian or Darcy, the other will have the couch." Jane glared at him. "Loki you are not welcome to stay here."

"Jane, it's Ok." Thor tried to calm here. "Loki can stay on the floor next to us." He hoped that would be enough compromise. He knew Loki would not comply.

"Whatever!" She stormed off. Loki and Thor walked to the bedroom. Selvig stopped Loki.

"What are you up to trickster?" Erik looked him in the eyes.

"I am not the cause of this trouble." Loki smirks. "That would be Thor's little bitch." Jane was thankfully out of earshot.

"Oh you have a hand in it. Just a more indirect influence." Selvig looked over the half naked god. "Incidentally, I did not remember such intimacy between you and your brother."

"Well, your stories are old and lose their accuracy of the centuries. But more specifically, he is not my brother." Loki was beginning to get aggressive. Thor came back over to escort him away.

"Loki, shut up before you say more that you regret." Thor wrapped his arm around his waist and escorted him to the bedroom. Thor lay some blankets on the floor and dropped a pillow. He then placed his hands on Loki's shoulders and forced him to sit down. He pouted and folded his arms. Thor climbed into the bed next to Jane.

She didn't feel like getting close to him and rolled over and went to sleep. Loki sat watching like an impatient cat that was waiting to be fed. He waited to make his move. Silently sitting in the dark for a few hours. Thor rolled over and stirred. He could feel Loki staring at him. "Loki, go to sleep." He said barely oping his eyes.

Loki dropped his towel and climbed up into the bed on top of Thor. he was well hard and lay on Thor's back. He wiggled his hips and then reached down and slipped his hand down between Thor's cheeks. "Loki go to sleep." He muttered.

"Nope. Horney. I need to feel relaxed to sleep." Loki slipped in a couple of fingers and began to finger Thor. he groan softly and then raised his hips slightly. Loki smiled wickedly and swiftly slipped his cock in. He bit his lip as he began to thrust in and out. Thor pushed back in response. Loki grabbed Thor's hips and increased his pace. Jane roused to see Loki fucking him. Loki saw her out of the corner of his eye and smiled.

Thor began rise up on his hands and knees and dropped his head as he pushed back. He gasped as he felt the younger man thrust deep inside him. The room echoed with the wet sounds of skin slapping and moans and groans of pleasure. Jane grabbed her pillow and blanket and stormed out of the room. Loki became a bit desperate in his moans as he was getting close. He panted and tried to keep up the pace.

He yelled as he came. "Oh Thor!" Loki slipped out and sat down on the bed exhausted. Thor grabbed Loki and dragged him over by his hips and it was now his turn. Thor grabbed his cock and was about to impale Loki. he looked up and saw Jane was gone. He then grabbed the blanket and wrapped up Loki and scooped him up. He carried him to the lounge room and plonked him down on the floor. He saw Jane sit on the arm of the couch next to Ian. He took her hand and led her back to the bedroom. Loki moaned.

"Hey, you're meant to pleasure me, not her!"

"You have already had your fill. I would prefer to be with Jane tonight. Go to sleep."

"I hate you Thor!" Loki yelled.

"Ok Loki, whatever." Thor walked away. Loki pouted and looked over to Ian who was disturbed from his sleep.

"What?!" Loki growled.

"No, nothing." Ian didn't want to antagonise him. He placed his head back down and Loki wrapped himself in the blanket and hugged his pillow while he sat on the floor.
