All of the Avengers were thrown to the floor as the Chitauri, plus Thanos and Loki, went through the portal. Astryd shot up angrily, along with Thor, and screamed Loki's name.

She began pacing as the others got up with grunts. Thor slowly sauntered towards her and stopped her from pacing. "We'll find him. I swear, on my life, we will find him."

Astryd looked into his eyes. They had nothing more than hatred and determination. But she knew that he was saddened by this. Hell! So what she! And most likely everyone else!

"What do we do?" Steve asked.

"Like Thor said," Tony began determined. "We find him."

"Look," Clint rejected. "I wanna find him too. But how? He is in space, alright? What are we supposed to do?" He frowned. "I mean, he is realms away according to Thor."

"Clint's right," Natasha said sadly. "I'm afraid, all we can do is sit this one out and wait."

Bruce looked up from the ground. "We can't. Loki... All we have wanted since he got here was to something to help. We. Can't. Just. Sit. Here." He growled.

"C... Clint's right..." Thor whispered. Everyone whipped their heads around towards him surprised. Why Thor of all people to say that?

"Come on Thor!" Frigga yelled, coming out of her silence. "He's your brother! My SON! Don't you DARE say we can't do anything! Maybe not you friends! But we can! By the gods, Thor! We can!" Tears streamed down her face. "Don't you realize?" She mumbled, bowing her head, letting her hair cover her eyes. "He still doesn't feel the way he did towards us when he was a child. He was happy... not now. He doesn't trust us."

Thor took a step closer towards Frigga. "Mother..."

"Didn't any of you notice?"

Everyone looked at each other confused. Astryd seemed aware, but sad.

"I did." Astryd whispered.

"I know you did," Frigga looked up, tears falling freely. "But anyone else?" She looked ate everyone's baffles glances. "Astryd, explain." She said, and she looked back down.

Astryd spoke up quietly, but sadly. "He came to me in his last moments. He didn't look at Thor, or their mother. He came to me." Tears began to slide down her cheek.

Everyone seemed aware now, but looked so sad. Too much sadness. No one could've thought of that. They knew they loved eachother. But... to think of just one person when you know you won't see anyone ever again. It seemed strange though. That Loki wouldn't think of even his mother. She was the only one who still, and always, seemed to accept and show the most love to him. That was most likely why she was crying. It would break any mother's heart if the one they lost didn't even send a second, or even first, glance.

"We have to do something." Astryd said, choking on her tears.

Frigga seemed to be thinking. What was she thinking. She looked so distant and wasn't listening to anything or anyone.

Astryd got frustrated and turned to Thor, who was looking at his mother in shock. "Thor!" He didn't look at her, eyes trained on Frigga.

It hit her. They were thinking the same thing.

"What?" Astryd urged.

"Would y'all stop starring and tell us what's going on!" Tony yelled impatiently.

"We have an idea." Frigga said determinedly.

"We figured that out." Clint mumbled sarcastically.

Steve shot him a glare and Frigga only started talking again, looking a Thor with a smile. "We taking you all to Asgard."

"Whoa, what?" Tony exclaimed. Everyone turned to look at him. "Now, don't get me wrong, I wanna help save Loki. But how do we even know we can breathe up there! I mean, has a mortal ever been there?"

"Well, no." Frigga replied. "But our atmosphere is the same as yours. That's why Thor can breathe here. And... not die." She chuckled sadly.

"My mother is right. We will take you guys there. No harm will be done to you."

They all seemed hesitant before they nodded.

Frigga, Thor, and Astryd smiled.

"We will departure tomorrow morning, so be ready. We know not how long we will be there." Frigga said excitedly.

They all left to pack.

Loki must have lost consciousness because he woke chained to a wall, arms above him. He looked around, first noticing that he still had his leather pants on, but shirtless. He then looked at his surroundings seeing nothing but rock walls. His cell was just a cubed, rock room. Dull. But very fearful.

His wrists were already hurting due to the shackled metal biting into his wrists. He struggled against them but found that they only seemed to get tighter the more he struggled. He then attempted at using his magic, but the chains began to glow and a searing pain bit Loki's insides. We're millions of little needles stabbing him? It sure felt like it.

He stopped the magic with an echoing yelp. He caught his breath back, wincing. His heart began to pound at the sound of footsteps coming towards his cell. The door opened and he squinted at the light.

The Other came into the cell, closing the door behind him. His grin reached the sides of his... face? Whatever it is, it reached. He walked closer towards Loki and he panicked. He began struggling as the Other came closer. The Other reached at his side and pulled of a whip that seemed buckled at his belt and slung it towards Loki over and over again.

. . .
Back at Asgard

Heimdall watched as Loki screamed for help. He knew this would happen. Why didn't Heimdall tell someone? Well, technically he told Thor and King Odin already seemed to know.

On the inside Heimdall was screaming for what to do. What was he supposed to do. He has alerted the king about Thanos and about the queen bringing Thor's friends to Asgard for extra help.

But on the outside, he stood in the middle of the golden dome watching calmly.

What can he do to help?
OH NO LOKI! DON'T WORRY HELP IS ON THE WAY. I guess you could say you all just got LOKI'D!
