Lokis POV
It was as usual just another ordinary day in Asgard. I had just been released from the Asgardian prison on the basis of good behaviour.
"Loki!" My father shouted from down the hall of the Throne room.

"Yes father" I looked back to see him running swiftly in his old age towards me.
"Heimdall has asked for our presence at the Bifrost he says it's rather urgent that all the royal family is present to make a decision"
Odin gasped for air and smiled sadly at his son who had been slightly broken since Frigga died.
" what decision is it?.... and what could it possibly have anything to do with me ?" I asked hoping to just go back to my old library and lock myself away for the rest of eternity.
"Because Thor is not here he is on Midgard we need you to be present instead"
I stood there and blinked "Oh so just because that fat oaf isn't here you decide to chose me that's just typical" I shouted at my father.
"Loki! I don't have time for this come now or I'll put you straight back into that prison cell" Odin shouted at me pointing his finger very close to my nose.
"Fine!" I snarled back and began walking to the Bifrost.
Whist waiting for my father to catch up I stood at the entrance to the Bifrost talking to Heimdall.
"Morning Heimdall all is well in the nine realms I pressume" I said looking at the opening.
Heimdall held tightly to the sword that opened the Bifrost and began to speak.
"Good morning prince loki... All is not well in the nine realms" he was about to continue when odin arrived on his white horse.
"For goodness sake Heimdall what is so important that you must have your king present" Odin demanded he looked quite angry that Heimdall had disturbed his council meeting.
Heimdall remained stiff and began to speak once again "A sin has been committed against Asgard unknowingly to the sinner... All is left is a child halfling of Asgard... both parents are already dead" Heimdall paused seeming almost to display several emotions on his face at once "you have a choice my king... to save the baby or leave it and let it die" Heimdall turned his sword and up came a video of a small baby wrapped in a pink blanket being soaked by the train. The child was crying and looked distressed. "What happened to the mother and father?" I asked Heimdall.
Heimdall sighed "it was almost an accident more of a misunderstanding on behalf of that team Shield as Thor calls it... shield believed that the man who was from Asgard was to be feared and so they killed him and then the mother killed herself" Heimdall spoke gravely as if something was stuck in his throat.
"What should we do father the baby has no other family" I said feeling slightly sorry for it... The baby reminded me of well me. "Save the child Heimdall and bring the girl here" Heimdall smiled approving of the Kings decision. "As you wish" he said and opened the Bifrost.

It took at couple of seconds for Heimdall to reach Midgard as it was so far away. Me and my father arrived on Midgard at a small house in the middle of nowhere.

I heard the sound of a screaming baby and decided to follow it. The baby had been left on the door step of the house as if just dumped by the mother. "Shh child it's alright now I'm here and I'm not going to let anything hurt you " I picked up the screaming child in my arms not sure how to hold it. "Put your hand under the child's head it can not yet support itself" Odin spoke softly to me for the first time in a very very long time "we must hurry back HEIMDALL!" Odin shouted and within seconds we were back on Asgard.
