" Loki! What are you doing here?"

" Apparently, my intellect and cunning are sorely needed, proving once again brute strength is not the answer for everything." Loki said.

" Once again you escape my eyes, " Heimdal said, stepping forward.

Loki turned to him, " It comes with age. Nothing to be ashamed of really."

Heimdall drew his sword," I may be getting old, and my sight not as strong, but my blade is still as sharp. Loki Odinson, in the name of Asgard I order that you return the tesseract, and answer for your crimes."

"I have to say brother, this feels oddly familiar," Loki said with a grin as he came to stand next to Thor.

Thor grimaced in return before saying. "It seems you haven't lost your flair for the dramatic, have you been waiting all this while to reveal yourself?"

" You know me best brother, there's nothing like a good dramatic entrance," Loki said.

Loki turned towards Heimdall and said." I hate to disappoint, but I'm afraid I have no idea, where the tesseract currently is."

" And we're supposed to believe you?" Sif said, contemptuously.

Loki sighed. "Much has happened since then."

Thor signed for them to stop," Unfortunately, we need him, at least for now."

He then looked towards Loki and said, " I take it, you have heard about mother?"

" I did," Loki answered, with cold fury in his eyes.

"I know you seek vengeance as much as I do. You help me escape Asgard, fight the Dark Elves, and I will grant it to you, vengeance. And afterward, we shall settle our scores." Thor said.

Loki nodded and said," So, what's the plan ?"

..

" I must say brother, I wouldn't call that a plan." Loki said.

" Like it or not, it's our only option. " Thor said.

While they were getting ready to move, Heimdall, Sif and Fandral came up to Thor after the meeting.

" You must be truly desperate to ask him for help. What makes you think you can trust him?" Heimdall asked.

" He will betray you." Fandral added.

Loki who was standing across the room smiled at them, probably guessing what they were talking about.

"He will try. And, I'll be ready for him when he does". Thor answered.

"Well, what then? Your lovely Jane and her friend are being guarded by a legion of our Einherjar who will see you coming from miles away." Fandral said.

" I think the All Father suspects you might do something, he's put our guests under house arrest. Especially that sorcerer. " Heimdall said.

"I won't be the one who comes for her." Thor said looking over to Sif.

" I shall bring her to you safely," Sif promised.

" As for Enigma, the..." Thor said.

" That won't be necessary." I said.

They all turned to me surprised by my sudden appearance. Loki didn't look impressed, and merely rolled his eyes.

" Enigma, How did you escape?" Thor asked.

" The All Father's spells are impressive indeed, it took me a while to break through the enchantments he had put in the room. Those anti-teleportation runes were a pain to deal with." I said.

" Then what about Jane? Can you free her too." He asked.

" I think it would be better to go with your plan to send Sif. He's got the same runes engraved in her chambers. In the meantime, I need to break into the vault, and it's going to take me a while to get through them undetected." I said.

" Why would you do that? " Heimdall questioned.

I turned to him," Odin took the Aether from me, claiming it would be better guarded in Asgard."

" And you just gave it to him? " Loki mocked.

" I had no choice. Unless I planned on fighting him then and there. " I said.

Loki snorted, " Coward"

I turned to him, " Oh look who's here, it's the God of parlor tricks. Why don't you go pull a rabbit out of you... "

" Enough! This isn't the time for this." Thor bellowed.

" Anyway, carry on with your original plan. I'll meet you later, after I get the Aether. " I said.

They decided to split up, Loki and Thor heading towards their objective.

Odin had proved to be a more cunning opponent than I thought, quite different from the incompetent fool he was portrayed in the movies.

He maybe getting old, but he was not to be underestimated.

Let's not forget not only was he a god, he has ruled as king for thousands of years.

Luckily, I managed to contact Loki through astral projection, similar to what he did with Thor in New Mexico.

I informed him of the events that happened in Asgard, and of his mother's brush with death.

Understandably he was pretty upset, and swore right there and then to personally kill Malekith.

Who would have guessed Loki, was such a mama's boy?

We made plans to meet at Asgard. And, to conceal the fact we were working together.

Getting him to asgard wasn't too difficult, since I had him use my old sling ring.

Normally, It wouldn't be as effective since Loki relied on his own magical reserves and not dimensional energy like sorcerers normally do.

But, it was enough for a one way trip to Asgard.

..

" This is so unlike you, brother. So clandestine. Are you sure you wouldn't rather just punch your way out?" Loki said.

"If you keep speaking I just might," Thor said.

"Fine. As you wish. I'm not even here. Is this better?" Loki said.

Using his magic to cast a glamor spell Loki turned himself into an Asgardian guard.

" It's better company at least," Thor said.

Loki turns back into himself but then turns Thor into Sif.

"Still, we could be less conspicuous. Hm, brother. You look ravishing. " Loki said.

Thor looks down at his body then replies in his own voice" It will hurt no less when I kill you in this form."

"Very well. Perhaps you prefer one of your new companions, given that you seem to like them so much." Loki said.

Loki then turns himself into Captain America in his full Captain America costume.

"Oh, this is much better. Woh. The costume's a bit much, so tight. But the confidence, I can feel the righteousness surging. Hey, you wanna have a rousing discussion about truth, honor, patriotism? God bless Amer–" Loki said.

Suddenly Thor grabs hold of Loki puts his hand over his mouth and pushes him against the wall making Loki turn back into himself.

" What?" Loki asked.

Thor looks to the side and they see two Asgardian guards walking by.

They both lapsed into silence, until they finally arrived at their destination.
