TW: DEATH, BLOOD

Loki stepped proudly towards his doom. After his attack on New York, the Allfather had sentenced him to death. Now it was time. A few yards away the enforcer waited with a sharp axe. He was booed by the gathered crowd. He ignored them and kept walking straight ahead.

Arriving at the front, he let his eyes wander around the audience while his hands were tied behind his back. Neither his mother nor Thor were present. He had heard that his mother had locked herself in so as not to have to come. He didn't know anything about Thor though.

Two guards forced him to his knees, and he struck that pose with his well-known dignity. He kept staring coldly at the Allfather, who sat on a tribune and looked down at him. Then his head was pushed to the ground. He didn't even fight back, even if this was the end of him. In fact, he was still grinning at the enforcer as he bent down. He swung his axe, and severed his head from his body. The body fell lifeless to the side and the head still turned from the momentum and lay with its eyes on Odin. A cheer went through the ranks. The blood made its way along the floor. The observers stepped through without heeding it.

Loki found himself in Helheim and faced Hela, ruler of the realm of the dead. "Loki laufeyson. My adoptive brother as far as I know." "Sorry, I don't know who you are." he admitted in front of the woman. "I'm Hela, Odin's firstborn. So he didn't tell you anything about me.. Tell me, how did you find your death?" "An execution is the cause of my death. Which was brought about by Odin." he explained to her. "So he had you killed. What was the reason for that?" "An attack on Midgard was the reason." "You haven't fulfilled your destiny in life yet.." she said suddenly. "What exactly do you mean?" "You are still missing building blocks in your life. A healthier youth and love were missing in your last life." she noted. "And what exactly does that mean for me?" asked Loki. "I can offer you a second chance. Among rejected siblings if you know what I mean." Hela offered him. "So in summary. You're offering to bring me back to life so I can try again? What's the catch?" "I'm not the one who trades favors for favors like you. However, if you died naturally, I would like you to come back here and help me lift the ban." "And that's it?" "Quite right. So what do you say to that? Do you agree?" Loki thought for a moment and then agreed, "I gladly accept the generous offer and will give my help in return." he agreed.

As soon as he agreed, his lifeless body dissolved into Asgard. Only the blood remained.

Loki's spirit in Helheim became dizzy and then went black.

He found himself in the same place where he had been executed a few hours ago, but didn't remember it. It was dark and not a soul was here. Fortunately. He realized he was standing in blood, which was actually his own, and quickly stepped out. As quickly as possible, he went quietly to his room. He had noticed that he had no clothes on. Why was he naked in public in the dark? Has he finally gone insane?" After he got dressed, he looked in a mirror. He was young.

Suddenly the door opened slowly and quietly. Thor and Frigga entered together. Loki was surprised to see the two in his room. The two looked at him dumbfounded and tears gathered in Frigga's eyes. Shortly thereafter, she ran to Loki and hugged him. He was visibly confused. Thor still stood there in shock.

"What's the matter?" Loki asked more and more confused. "You- You- You were executed.. How can you- How can you be alive?" Thor asked him. "What have I been?" Frigga cupped her hands around his face. "You were executed.. Only a few hours ago.. But you live. By the Norns, you live." again she took him in her arms. Thor woke up from his rigid state and now also approached Loki. Frigga pulled away from him and Thor smiled and hugged him and patted his back. Loki tensed up a bit because that rough touch hurt him a bit. Thor released him and looked at his mother. "Mother.. I think it would be best to take him out of Asgard, wouldn't it?" "What why?" Loki now asked, dumbfounded. This was his home after all. "Loki please sit down..." his mother said cautiously. He did as he was told and sat on the bed. she sat down next to him and took his hands in hers. Thor sat on a sofa for so long. She began to explain what was going on. But left out the attack on New York. what

What he finally filtered out was that Odin wanted to get rid of him.

"And where do you want to take me?" Loki now asked Thor. "I might know someone who would take you." Thor said and got up. "okay..and where?" "Midgard." "Thor, do you really think that's a good idea?" Frigga asked . "He has to leave, doesn't he? And I'm sure he'll take him, if I explain the circumstances to him."  the thunder god answered. The woman nodded "okay.. Then hurry up. It's not night forever." She kissed Loki on the forehead and then stood up. "You'll come back after that, Thor. Right?" "Yes, I will mother." he answered her and she left the room.

"Is there anything else you want to take with you? Aside from your weapons and armor? They're staying here anyway." "Clothes maybe?" he said, got up and picked out a few things to take away.

Shortly thereafter they left. They were brought to Midgard via the Bifrost. Directly onto the terrace of a building. it wasn't exactly quiet and Tony woke up. He ran into the living room only to see Thor and a boy outside the patio window. He opened the door annoyed and let the two in.

"What gives me the honor of being woken up by you at ..3 in the morning Thor...? And who is that? What do you even want here?" Tony asked him sarcastically. "Stark. I was hoping for your help. This is- Loki.." Thor began to explain. "Stop it. What is he doing here?! Shouldn't he be punished somehow in Asgard or did I misunderstand?" Tony asked, eyeing the silent boy. "He was. He was executed.." explained Thor. "And why is he standing in front of me? And that as a teenager? Dude, what's the shit going on here?" "I don't quite understand it myself. He just reappeared as a younger self. How that's possible, I don't know. But if he stays in Asgard, he will meet the same fate again. Mother was devastated when father condemned him . Loki go into that room over there."Thor said . Loki was confused but followed the instruction. Tony kept an eye on him until he couldn't see him anymore.

Thor quietly explained, "He can't remember either the attack or his conviction. Besides, he's now a seventeen-year-old in your timekeeping. Please take him in with you." "Dude. It's 3am, you're showing up here with your brother who attacked New York two days ago, who's now a teenager for some reason and you want me to pick him up right here right now?  Do I really have understood correctly?" Tony said tiredly. "Yes, exactly. So you agree to that? He won't cause any problems." "Why does this keep happening to me...?" "Because you are one of the most brilliant people on Midgard and you can find a solution for just about anything." "Are you trying to flatter me right now?.. Fine. It's working. He can stay here as far as I'm concerned. But if he messes up, he's out. Okay so far?" "its clear. Thank you." "Yeah yeah.. never mind. Get him back here." Tony said and went into the kitchen to make a coffee.

Thor went to Loki and took him back into the living room. Tony came back in too, with a cup of espresso. "Sit down." he said to Loki. He hesitated and looked at Thor. He just nodded and so loki just sat down. The seventeen year old's behavior made Tony think he was maybe twelve. But he said nothing about it. Instead, he began his 'speech'. "You're going to stay here for now. As far as I know, indefinitely and it depends on you. If you screw up, you'll be kicked out. Very simple. I expect you to follow my instructions, after all you live under my roof from now on and are still there underage. You don't wake me up before eight o'clock and the lights go out at eleven. Loki was still silent, but then nodded slightly. "I don't bite. You can talk.." Tony said. But when nothing came from him, he left it at that. "Tonight you sleep here on the sofa. Tomorrow we'll see." "Thank you Stark. I owe you a great debt." Thor said and slapped him on the shoulder. He then pulled Loki up again and hugged him tightly. Loki looked at Tony and silently mouthed 'help me'. Tony stifled a laugh and then accompanied Thor back onto the terrace, where he was 'picked up' shortly afterwards with the Bifröst.

Tony came back in and put the cup down. Loki sat silently on the sofa again and stared straight ahead. Tony left him alone and got some bedding, which he brought him. To wake him out of his trance, he snapped in front of his face once and gave him the blanket and pillow. He looked around confused. Tony thought he was a little off track. But maybe it was simply because he was now with a stranger staying on an alien planet. "You should be all right now, right? I'm not going to make your bed after all.. After all, I'm not your servant." Tony said and Loki nodded, he remained silent. "Don't get the idea of killing me while I'm sleeping. Okay?" Loki drew his eyebrows together and said "why should I do something like that? I never killed anyone.." Loki said, slightly insecure. "Mmm. It doesn't matter. Good night.." Tony said and disappeared. Loki stayed in the living room and lay down once he had settled into his sleeping place. He fell asleep relatively quickly.
