Asgard

After New Mexico and the Bifrost destroyed, Loki's hope of reconciliation and pardon was totally gone. Why did he think this was the way to gain Odin's love and respect? He would never be able to live up to the Golden Prince, Thor.

As he is being dragged in chains to the throne room, Loki thinks his days, possibly his hours are numbered. As they slowly approach, Loki looks up to Frigga standing at the left of Odin. She looks at him with pity in her eyes.

"Hello Mother, Have I made you proud? "

"Loki, please don't make this worse,"

Loki holds up his chains.

"Define Worse,"

"ENOUGH! I will speak to the prisoner alone," Odin Says with authority.

Frigga and the Guards leave.

Loki laughs. "I really don't see what all the fuss is about."

"Do you not truly feel the gravity of your crimes? Wherever you go, there is war, ruin and death."

"I went down to Midgard to rule the people of Earth as a benevolent god. Just like you."

"We are not gods. We are born, we live, we die. Just as humans do."

"Give or take 5000 years."

"All this because Loki desires a throne."

"It is my birthright."

"Your birthright... was to die... as a child. Cast out onto a frozen rock. If I had not taken you in, you would not be here now to hate me."

"If I am for the axe, then for mercy's sake, just swing it. It's not that I don't love our little talks, it's just ... I don't love them."

"Frigga is the only reason you are still alive and you will never see her again. You will spend the rest of your days in Midgard, completely clueless about who you are."

"WHAT?" Loki screams and starts to fight against his chains.

"Loki Odinson, you have betrayed your king. Through your arrogance and stupidity, you've opened these peaceful realms and innocent lives to the horror and desolation of war! You are unworthy of these realms! You're unworthy of your title! You're unworthy of the loved ones you have betrayed. I now take from you your memory and your home. In the name of my father and his father before, I, Odin Allfather, banish you to Midgard!"

"NO! You cannot do this! How will I survive?"

"I'm sure you will," Odin whispers.

"And what of Thor? You'll make that witless oaf king while I rot on Midgard?

"Thor must strife to undo the damage you have done. He will bring order to the nine realms and then, yes. He will be king. Guards!"

"NO, NO, Please don't do this to me," Loki screams as the guards drag him out of the throne room.

Once in the hallway, Frigga waits to speak to Loki for the last time.

"Please help me," Loki begs Frigga

"You know full well it was your actions that brought you here."

"My actions. I was merely giving truth to the lie that I had been fed my entire life, that I was born to be a king."

"A king? A true king admits his faults. What of the lives you took on Earth?"

"A mere handful compared to the number that Odin has taken himself."

"Your father..."

"He's not my father!" Loki shouts

"Then am I not your mother?"

Loki hesitates for a moment.

"You're not."

Frigga smiles at him with tears in her eyes.

"Loki, always so perceptive about everyone but yourself."

She takes a step towards him and extends her hands. Loki goes to touch her hand but his hand goes through hers and he sees that she's a hologram. Loki looks at Frigga with sadness.

"Goodbye Loki,"

And her hologram disappears.

"Goodbye Mother" Loki whispers

The guards then escort Loki to the golden dome at the end of the rainbow bridge, where Thor and Heimdall are waiting for him.

"Loki Odinson, By the All father's command I banish you to Midgard,"

"Yeah, yeah, get on with it."

"Loki," Thor says " Mother gave me this for you to drink"

Thor hands a vial with a blue liquid to Loki.

Loki opens the vial and says.

"I suppose I shouldn't complain...at least he let me live."

"Loki, please know that we love you."

Thor says with tears in his eyes. Loki looks at Thor with doubt in his eyes.

"Sentiments a bit late now, brother." Loki growls

"Bottoms up,"

He drinks the vial's contents and that is when Thor noticed his eyes turn from green to bright blue.

"Goodbye Loki," Thor says as Loki closes his eyes and falls to the floor.

Thor picks up Loki and slowly walks to the Bifrost's gate

"Heimdall, please watch over him."

"I will my Prince,"

Falling, that is all he could remember....
