Hang in there son part 2
Thor sat in Janes apartment, looking out the window to a completely different view from Asgard. Jane was retrieving refreshments from the kitchen with Darcy, but his thought were far from the new customs that he was about the undergo. Before his father banished him he remembered the horror and fear in his fathers eye, he remembered Loki falling to the ground and soon saw the blood that quickly came from now where. Thor closed his eyes and prayed that his baby brother was alright.
"Lemonade or tea Thor?" Thor opened his eyes and looked at the tray. "Lemonade please.." Thor sat down on the couch and thanked Jane for the glass of lemonade. "You seem so distant, is there anything else that you have not mentioned Thor?" Darcy asked. "My brother is or was badly injured when my father banished me here... I do not know if he is alright or even alive..." Thor griped the glass tightly at the last thought. Darcy and Jane looked at each other and Jane wrapped a arm around Thor. "I hope your brother is safe Thor, what's his name?" "Loki." Darcy rubbed Thor's arm in comfort and Jane too hugged him closely. "Thank you both for your comfort" "it's okay Thor" Jane replied.
Thor has been stuck on Midgard for nearly two weeks and within those two weeks he has had no word of Loki or if he's even alright. Thor was surprised when he finally picked up his hammer again that his powers didn't restore, but just picking it up was quite a achievement. 'Maybe my fathers magic has weakened..' Thor thought. Soon the door of Jane's apartment opened and his friends were there.
"Sif, Fandral, volstagg, hogan!" Thor rushed to them and noticed that Loki wasn't with them. Fandral looked away from Thor and noticed there was sadness in his eyes. "Thor the king sent us here to tell you some... news" Sif said. "What is it my friends?" Hogan took a breath. "Loki died Thor... last night.." Thor froze. "How?.." "he was stabbed and it was so deep, he also fitted and due to that his heart gave out.." volstagg explained. Thor fell into the chair that was behind him and the others knew he was in a state of shock. "You are to attend the funeral, tomorrow morning." Sif said. Thor nodded and stood up. They all walked out of the apartment and left Midgard.
When Thor arrived back in Asgard he knew the tension in the air was thick. Thor went to the back chamber where they kept the bodies ready for funerals and stood at the door way. Loki's body was dressed and everything looked normal, he was more deathly pale and was a lot more stiller, but he did just look like he was asleep. Thor took a steady breath and walked to his now deceased brother and looked down to his face. Thor couldn't keep his tears in bay and let out a sob. Thor ran his hand through Loki's hair and leaned down and kissed his forehead, Thor let out more sobs when he felt how cold his brother was.
"I'm so so sorry.." Thor said to deaf ears. "You should be." Thor turned and saw his father, how had watched everything. "Fath-" Odin raised his hand. He walked over to Thor and Loki and kept his gaze on his youngests sons face. "You are to blame.." Thor looked down. "You went behind my back! And it cost your brother his life!!" Thor dropped his hammer and left his tears fall. "I'm sor-" "that does not bring him back does it Thor!" Odin shook his head and smoothed out Loki's hair ounce again. "After his funeral you will be punished for the death and for once I don't care.." Thor nodded. Odin and Thor stood there in silence and just let grief take over them.
Loki's funeral was a tragedy to the family and to Asgard, yes he pulled pranks and caused mischief, but he was their prince and one of the most talented healers in all nine realms. Frigga, Thor and Odin watched the body go to the stars to the other side. The light lanterns were all up in the sky to help his soul to the afterlife. Frigga left and went to Loki's room and mourned, Thor went to the gardens where Loki loved to read and do wounderful magic tricks and Odin sat on his bed with a rough old blanket in his hands and a stuffed bear that was worn out. Odin cried holding these objects and felt the regret of being not the best father to Loki and the grief that overpowered everything that he has ever felt in his long life.
