This was a prompt offer, one that I've been thinking about trying but didn't have the time or the edge to write out until recently.

Shout out to vampygurl402, thank you for this idea and the ideas that helped come along.

Here's the full summary:

Loki is taken to Asgard to face trial for his crimes, but the Norns intervene and state he must take the same lesson Thor did on Midgard. He serves under the Avengers to help rebuild from the damage, but he isolates himself from everyone. Loki distances everyone, until he meets a mysterious man with a horrible past and becomes his friend and lover. His heart opens up, but with many enemies out there can their love survive?

Mpreg, past abuse, lots of built up anger for Loki, past bullying, brainwashing

Asgardian dungeons:

"The prisoner hasn't said a word since he was brought in my prince."

"Not a word?"

"Nothing, he's been quiet as a mouse." Thor Odinson sighed, whether it was in relief or annoyance he didn't know.

"I shall escort him to the throne room, his trial begins today."

"My prince please allow us to help you." another guard came forward.

"I will do it myself, I can handle Loki."

"Thor, he's tricked you before." Sif was down there as well, only because Thor asked her to come.

"I know, but he can't trick me now I know him too well." Thor took the hand and ankle cuffs from her but let her hold onto the key. "Stay here." he told her and left to make way towards his brother's cell. When he got there he saw through the shimmering field Loki's cell had furniture and books inside, gifts from their mother Frigga. She still held hope that Loki was somehow innocent in this, but Thor knew better. Loki had attacked a realm unprepared for war against a destructive race, and in doing so killed thousands of innocents. He held no remorse when Thor apprehended him with the mortal heroes the Avengers, and he spoke not a word after they detained him. Once he had been placed in the dungeons Odin decided to give Loki a trial, and Thor was allowed to have his mortal friends come around to see it done. They were more than happy to oblige, but they weren't entirely sure of what to expect. That had been a few days ago, and Loki had been brought back a fortnight before.

"Brother." he saw the dark haired man on the floor, just sitting with a book in his hands and not bothering to look up at Thor. "Brother, Loki it's time for your trial." Loki still didn't look up. "Brother…"

"I am not your brother." that time Loki did look up and closed the book.

"Still so bitter I see." Thor sighed, he should've expected this. "Come, they're waiting." he held up the cuffs.

"Fine." Loki stood and held out his arms and parted his legs just enough for Thor to cuff him.

"You can make this easy on yourself brother; just for once say the truth." Loki ignored him, and let Thor lead him out of the cell. The guards waited and Sif followed them out of the dungeons straight to the throne room. Loki stayed silent, even when he spotted the mortal group, the Avengers lined up near the staircase to Odin's golden throne. Frigga stood on the other side, looking at Loki with hope and sadness, all he did was nod at her.

"Allfather, I have brought the accused before you." Thor bowed before Odin.

"Thank you my son, we may now begin." around the room stood the entire royal court including the council members, some nobility and soldiers, Thor's mortal and idiotic Aesir friends all glaring at him, and a few members of the Jotun race no doubt on behalf of their king to see Loki would earn his just rewards.

"Just make it easy for everyone Loki, and this will be over soon." Thor let him go and Loki stood alone in the middle of the room, all eyes on him.

"Loki Laufeyson, you have been brought before this court with the charges of murder, treason, theft, and assault on an innocent realm. Your crimes are worthy of death or lifetime imprisonment, but due to the insistence of the queen and Prince Thor, you will be given a chance to speak for yourself." Loki snorted.

"Laufeyson? Not Odinson…oh I'm so heartbroken." he feigned hurt.

"I would advise that the only words to come out of your mouth would be those of possible innocence." Odin was already bored.

"Bullshit." Loki heard Barton sneer; he'd expected that from him.

"What's the matter Barton? Did you expect them to give me the axe the moment you arrived?" the look on Barton's face told him yes. "Oh? So sorry to disappoint you." he taunted the man and the mortal looked ready to attack but was held back by the Lady Widow.

"Loki please…" Frigga whispered, begging him to stop and listen. Loki turned his attention back to Odin, though he gave a light smirk.

"And how would you have me speak Allfather?" Loki kept his eyes on the man he once called father, now to him he was no longer worthy.

"I will ask you some questions, and you will answer truthfully." Loki gave a dry chuckle.

"Truthfully? I am the God of Lies Allfather, how can you be certain I will speak anything that might be true?" Odin's one good eye narrowed slightly.

"I will know if you speak the truth, I am not blind." Loki rolled his eyes.

"Then I have nothing to say, because no matter what you hear from me no one will believe it." Loki stared hard.

"You will not speak of possible innocence?" snickers went all around.

"I will not deny the crimes, though the treason I am quite tempted to believe is a crock. Yes I attempted to conquer Midgard, yes I stole the tesseract, yes I killed many innocents but the treason…tell me what the crime of treason is for if it's not too much?" Odin stared him down.

"You sent the Destroyer after Thor while he was mortal, you took the throne in his absence while I was in the Odinsleep, and you let the Frost Giants into Asgard to steal the Casket of Ancient Winters during his coronation. Will you not speak against that?" Loki's eyes narrowed; of course they would call that treason.

"If you can recall into that feeble little memory of yours Allfather at the time your wife, the queen, made me king. She would not leave your side, and everything I did while I was king was well within my rights. Yes I sent the destroyer, because the Lady Sif and the Warriors Three disobeyed my orders to remain in Asgard as we were at war with Jotunheim. I needed their help, and they betrayed me."

"You betrayed Thor!" Lady Sif yelled out. "You told him his father was dead!"

"To prolong his stay on Midgard, I couldn't have him attempting to come back without his powers." Loki turned to her. "He would've been no help, so yes I had him stay. You asked me to adjust his sentence, I could not." her teeth snarled at him.

"You could've tried."

"No, the only way for the oaf to return was to prove him worthy of that damned hammer again. I could not undo the spell, so therefore I could do nothing."

"You lied to him! You let him be banished!" Sif was trying to anger him but it didn't work.

"I did not expect him to be banished, and if you recall I tried to talk Thor out of going to Jotunheim but the idiot would not be swayed. Angered like a child because his coronation was disrupted, proving my point that he was not ready to be king at the time." he turned back to Odin. "I remembered telling you before, a few days before the coronation, that Thor wasn't ready and do you recall what you said to me?"

"I do not recall." Odin lied, that made the anger in Loki flare up but he kept a stoic face.

"You should, because it was the first time you accused me of being jealous of Thor." his last few words came out with venom.

"Odin?" Frigga turned to her husband, obviously not knowing of this.

"Father?" Thor stared at the old king as well, so Loki continued.

"I remember, going to you that night asking for a private conversation. You gave it to me, and I asked if you truly believed Thor was ready and you said yes. You asked me why, and I told you I didn't think he was. He was a spoiled arrogant prince, who would've led us into war the first chance he had. You told me I shouldn't think so because you had seen Thor being responsible enough to become king. I implored you to listen to me, and you accused me of jealousy."

"At the time I believed it so."

"Yet not too long after his coronation was halted if not delayed, he went to Jotunheim and caused a new war because he was called a little princess. I tried to stop him and his friends tried to reason with him, but after speaking some honeyed words to those fools they agreed to go with him."

"Despite your words Loki, the Jotuns are not here in anger of Thor, but of you when you murdered Laufey their king." the mage let out a small laugh.

"And how funny it is that Thor would've done the exact same thing had he been given the perfect opportunity on that fateful trip to Jotunheim."

"What now?" Captain America spoke up, and Loki smirked again.

"Ah so you don't know? Well then allow me to elaborate." he took in a breath. "Thor wasn't always the loving hero you may believe him to be, in fact he was arrogant and stupid, not to mention vain and ignorant as a spoiled prince would be expected to behave. He once said as a child, 'I'll hunt the monsters down and slay them all', and of course one time he almost did. Throwing a little tantrum like a child when his coronation was disrupted; yes I had a part in it, but only to delay it for a while. Of course he would get angry and after Odin Allfather said to leave it be he did not."

"What did he do then?" the one named Stark asked.

"He talked his friends to go to Jotunheim with him to get answers, or so that's what it sounded like. I went too but only because I didn't want Thor to cause any more problems." the Avengers all looked to Thor's other friends.

"You knew he would cause trouble and you let him go?" the lady Black Widow stared at Sif. The Avengers were starting to see more of Thor's home, though they were still very skeptical about Loki.

"We went to make sure Thor didn't do anything reckless." Sif glared, still with her eyes on Loki.

"And yet you joined in the fight when one Jotun called him a little princess." Loki frowned. "You have always worshipped the ground he walks on Sif, following after him like a little lost puppy."

"Loki…" Thor's voice growled in warning. "I know I wasn't the best prince, but I learned my lesson."

"Oh really? Staying on Midgard for three measly days is a lesson well-earned yes? Oh yes that just proves you are once again the arrogant spoiled prince you've always been!" his mask was beginning to fall, he almost couldn't contain himself.

"Thor is a good man!" Sif yelled out again and that made something in Loki's mind snap. His green eyes blazed with hatred and anger, and this time he let everyone hear his opinion.

"HE WAS NEVER A GOOD MAN!" Loki shouted so loud everyone flinched back, even the mortals jumped a little, and Loki turned his anger on Thor. ""YOU WERE ALWAYS AN ARROGANT FOOL THAT KILLED INNOCENT LIVES AND LAUGHED AT OTHERS YOU DEEMED BENEATH YOU! YOU BULLIED ME AND OTHERS THAT PREFER MAGIC AS A WEAPON! YOU ALWAYS MOCK MY MAGIC AND SKILLS, EVEN WHEN IT WAS MY MAGIC THAT SAVED YOU AND YOUR STUPID FRIENDS COUNTLESS TIMES! I HELPED CLEAN UP YOUR MESSES AND HELPED TAKE THE BLAME WHEN IT WAS YOU WHO CAUSED ALL THE PROBLEMS! EVERYTHING I DID I DID BECAUSE OF YOU!"

"Loki stop…" Thor tried to calm him down but Loki wouldn't let up.

"I WISH I COULD SHOW EVERYONE EXACTLY HOW MUCH OF A MONSTER YOU WERE! YOU WHO ALWAYS HAD EVERYTHING HANDED TO YOU WHEN I HAD TO WORK HARD EVERYDAY TO TRY AND BE A GOOD PRINCE AND A GOOD SON! I TRIED FOR YEARS TO GAIN EVERYONE'S FAVOR AND I GOT NOTHING! YOU GOT IT ALL! NOT ME! NEVER ME!"

"Whoa now!" Stark and the others had to move back as Loki's magic was swirling around the room. It was getting stronger with each wave of fury coming from the former prince.

"Loki!" Frigga called out but Loki would not settle his powers.

""I WISH EVERYONE KNEW WHAT YOU WERE ALWAYS LIKE! THIS SPOILED ROTTEN BRAT THAT CARED FOR NO-ONE BUT HIMSELF AND NEVER ONCE CARED FOR COMMONERS! IF I HADN'T STOPPED YOUR CORONATION EVERYTHING WOULD'VE BEEN DESTROYED!"

"ENOUGH!" One good bang of Gugnir's metal end and everyone went silent. Loki was seething but tried to put his mask on again. "I believe we have heard enough, and unless anyone wishes to speak out for Loki Laufeyson we shall begin the sentencing."

"Hold on." Captain America stepped up. "Allfather, I'd like to clear up some things before you sentence him."

"And what is it you wish to clear up captain?" Odin eyed him but the mortal wasn't afraid.

"Is everything Loki just said true?" he asked and all gasped. "I just want to make sure it's all legit because if Thor was as he said, war hungry and spoiled, then it looks like Loki deserves a fair punishment and not life imprisonment."

"Rodgers are you serious?" Barton gaped at him in shock, as did the rest minus Stark.

"I am." the man stared at his comrade. "Everything Loki just described about Thor beginning a war is similar to his attack on our world, and yet Thor is still a prince while Loki is here on trial."

"Hey yeah, Thor did you get a trial?" Stark looked at the golden prince who shook his head.

"No, my father merely banished me to Midgard and took my powers, immediately after we returned from Jotunheim."

"So you spent three days on our planet, and then after you get your powers back? Loki does the same thing twice, and yet here we are discussing a life sentence or execution?" Stark sighed. "Sounds a little unfair if you ask me."

"You are sticking up for a man who tried to kill your race metal man?" Hogun the Grim asked.

"No Mr. Man that never Smiles, only that if what Loki said is true, then maybe he deserves a fair chance."

"Man of Iron, Loki is the God of Lies, and therefore you cannot trust a word he says." The Allfather banged his staff again. "He will have a punishment worthy of his crimes, and it shall be by my ruling."

"Your ruling seems a bit much there king." Rodgers's blue eyes hardened. "I can see you have a lot of contempt for Loki and I do too, but I believe in equality of justice."

"Don't waste your breath mortal." Loki snarled. "The Allfather may speak as if I was his son, but he has never been a good father to me. He has always brought me up second to Thor; no matter what I did he never acknowledged my skills."

"As if you deserve any sentiment." Barton grumbled.

"Guys…" the Lady Widow gave her comrades a look.

"We shall continue with the sentencing, it is clear Loki has attempted to take the throne of Asgard once before, and thus in his own failure attempted to take over Midgard with an army of creatures from the void."

"Odin please…" Frigga begged her husband for leniency, but the old king would not listen.

"Loki Laufeyson, I hereby find you guilty of all crimes named against you. It is clear that you feel no remorse for anything you've done, and everywhere you go there is war, ruin, and death."

"Just like with you once before, and Thor." Loki's eyes were blazing with hatred.

"Regardless, Thor has paid for his actions and you shall pay for yours."

"Hey come on now let the guy have a word here." Stark surprised Loki still, as did the captain. Mere mortals wanted a fair punishment for him, when all others wanted him dead? Even those of his own race wanted his blood, and all he did was try and prove himself.

"Let it be Stark, your words of sympathy are wasted here. Asgardian justice is never fair, even the lowest of criminals are punished harshly. It is not the same as your Midgardian justice."

"Silence your wicked tongue liesmith." Sif growled at him again.

"It's called a silver tongue Sif, even one with such low intelligence as yours should remember that." Sif about leapt at him but was held back by Fandral and Volstagg.

"That's enough!" Gugnir banged again. "Loki Laufeyson, as I have stated you are guilty of all crimes against you, and I believe a punishment I have in mind shall suit you well." the old man paused. "You shall be stripped of your magic, and locked in the dungeons for the rest of your days. You will not be allowed visitors, nor will you be allowed to have others make requests for you. If you should attempt to escape or harm anyone in any way, then you will be flogged for each offense. Before you are taken away, you shall receive fifteen lashings."

"Hey that's not fair at all!" Rodgers yelled out.

"What kind of kingdom are you running here?" Stark and even the widow woman was stunned. After all they'd just heard Odin would just lock Loki away as if he were nothing. She didn't agree with it, and from the way Loki was feeling he might as well die right there.

"Thor aren't you going to say something…?" Thor was too shocked to speak, he kept his eyes on Loki and Frigga looked ready to burst. As the guards made to surround Loki something hard and loud caused the floor to shake.

"ALLFATHER!" a loud, angry voice echoed through the room. A big bright light that shined brighter than the Aesir sun blasted through the entire throne room and almost blinded everyone around. When the light started to fade everyone made out the forms of three figures glowing in luminescent light, all donned in long white and golden robes with their faces cloaked by veils. Frigga gasped and Loki was stunned silent with his mouth agape.

"Ugh…w-what's going on who's that?" Banner was trying to stay calm, but the blinding light and shake of the room was aggravating the other guy.

"Are they angels or something?" Stark was trying to shield his eyes from the still bright light.

"You're close Stark; they are the ones who control the very fate of us all." Thor spoke up, his own mouth agape and his blue eyes wide with shock and slight disbelief.

"You mean…?" Romanoff seemed to understand, and Thor nodded.

"They are the Norns."

Well I do hope this was a rousing chapter for you all, it certainly took me a bit to get it finished.

Next chapter we pick up where the Norns have entered into the trial, and they will have words with Odin. It's not every day the Norns make a random visit, so they must have good reason for showing up right? Loki is in for the shock of his life, and he's about to embark on a journey he didn't think possible for him just now.

R&R

Later!
