A/N: This whole chapter is going to be filled with Loki (the recent ones had lack of him). I hope you'll enjoy it because I worked on this really hard :)
Thor and Loki were sitting in the restaurant, which was almost emty. It was early morning in Ankara.
"Do you think it's a good idea to talk about it in public?", Thor asked looking around.
Loki chuckled and said, "You really don't know me well, brother... I put an illusion on us, they think we're having a nice bro-to-bro chat."
"Okay, now tell me, what were you doing here all this time, Loki?", Thor asked frowning suspiciously.
Loki told Thor everything that happened to him. About Ms. Gannis, Ms. Topaz, the army, new H.Y.D.R.A. and so on. Thor became so angry that started to yell at Loki not caring about the consequences...
"Are you out of your mind?! Do you know, how many people will got killed?! Don't you feel that your game has gone too far?!"
"I know! I said that I already regret it!", Loki yelled back hitting his fist on the table.
"That's not enough! Look, if you don't figure this out, before Christina's plan starts to work, I'll don it myself after killing you properly this time!", Thor stood up from his chair. Loki did the same.
"Then do it right now because I don't have any plan!"
"You always have a plan, liar!"
"You know, you're right. Actually, I have two of them. Plan A, making Chrissy believe that I know nothing and then trying to break into H.Y.D.R.A. and get more information so I can decide, what to do next. Plan B, getting killed by you, if plan A wouldn't work.", Loki crossed his arms.
"No, this is not going to work!", Thor yelled and tried to leave the restaurant in rush, when Loki held his wrist and pulled him back.
"What are you freaking doing?!", Loki looked in Thor's eyes with angry expression.
Thor stared at him for a second and mumbled, "You remind me of the rabbit... I kinda miss him..."
"The what?!", Loki puckered his face.
"Oh, never mind... What were you saying?"
Thor and Loki got out of the building and headed to the park after paying for the breakfast.
"I was saying that this is not the right way to handle her. For one thing, she has a freaking company with a bunch of genetically modified assholes, who can be much more stronger than Banner's Hulk. You can't defeat her on your own. And for the other, we still don't know how many lies, tricks and secrets she keeps."
"Lies, tricks... Sounds like your area of work. Get this thing done, before I changed my mind about trusting it to you. Understood?!"
"Relax, bro-"
"Relax? Relax?! You're dealing with the destroyer of the whole humanity!"
"She didn't do anything yet, we're on the outbalancing side! So, shut up and wait!"
"Okay then, I have a lot of things to do. Visit Steve, go to the cemetery to visit Nat and Tony, so-"
"No, brother, wait!", Loki suddenly remembered something really important for him.
"What else do you have to tell me?", Thor asked with an annoyed face.
Loki stepped towards Thor and said with a calm and a little upset voice looking at Thor with a sad smile, "I thought maybe we could go to Asgard... Maybe I am still a wanted man there but I didn't see Asgard in forever, I missed my home, for God's sake...", Thor frowned with a pitiful look in his eyes. He understood that Loki didn't had a chance to say goodbye to Asgard, mother, father. He was so filled with hope to see all of these again that he told Thor everything about him just to get a little moment with valuable for him things and people...
Loki looked at the ground like a shamed child, "And I missed my mother too... I wonder, if she's forgiven me for my mistakes. It will be a good change for-"
Thor was overwhelmed and anxious. He didn't know how to tell this to Loki without hurting his feelings. Being tactful wasn't in his nature, "Loki, stop! Asgard... Mother... Father... They're all... Gone..."
These words hit Loki like a sledgehammer. They rang in his ears, growing louder every second. He fell into a stupor and couldn't utter a word, because his tongue stopped listening to him, and the words didn't want to go beyond the boundaries of the thoughts of the trickster. His eyes widened and his hands folded into fists. He looked at his brother with an accusing glance, tears didn't obey the will and rolled down his pale cheeks. A minute passed, but Loki was still in shock and couldn't understand how to react, what to think, how to perceive it? All this time he lived with the hope that he would meet his mother again and be able to justify himself before her, ask for forgiveness, see again that same beautiful sunrise of Asgard, so that his soul would bloom again, and warm memories stupefied his head... But this can no longer be real...
Thor saw that Loki wasn't even blinking and decided to do something.
"Loki... Brother, are you okay?"
Loki slowly turned his gaze to Thor and asked with broken and quiet voice, "How..? When..? Why didn't you tell me- tell me this earlier?"
Thor didn't know how to respond and instead of saying something stupid he just moved his gaze from Loki's full of pain face to the grey asphalt holding tears back, feeling guilty for everything...
"I asked you a question, Thor!!! Answer it!", Loki yelled through pain with a sharp voice.
Thor slowly turned his gaze at Loki and said, "I'll show you New Asgard, our new home, and then explain everything."

"Here's the place, where our father-"
"Your father!"
Thor paused for a second and said, "The last thing he said before his death was that he loves us. Both of us."
"Lies!", Loki scoffed turning to face Thor, "I don't think he actually loved any of us. He put his own daughter in captivity because of his own mistakes, he banished you, while he was the one to be blamed for your arrogance and reckless actions because he brought you up like this! Want me to continue?"
"Loki, don't-"
"Yes, you want me to continue. Odin used his children for royal benefits. Hela was a warrior toy from Lego, which brought him a lot of glories, and when she became too savage and uncontrollable, he just through her away, just like a broken toy. You was a puppet (we call it a golden boy), which would do everything Odin would like to do sitting on the throne. And when you tried to protest, he banished you, so that you do not interfere under his feet. Me? Huh, I was a stolen relic, which was used to make «peace». Humans use money for it, so you can consider me as an object of bargain for nothing because it brought more war than peace. War between you and me, me and Jotunheim, me and Asgard, me and Midgard. Do you get it now?"
"Loki, I know it's-"
"Do not Loki me! Do. Not. Loki me."
"Brother-"
"Just shut up!"
After a minute of silence brothers heard someone coming towards them. Loki just ignored the sound and continued looking at the sky, while Thor turned around and said, "Oh, greetings, your majesty."
"Stop calling me that! Just call me Valkyrie.", the woman scoffed.
Loki rised an eyebrow but stood still not letting his curiosity overpower him.
"Hey, who's this guy with a bun? Figure looks familiar...", Brunhilde said thoughtfully.
"This... This is... Loki.", Thor said hesitantly rubbing the back of his neck.
"Oh my God, can you just die for real for once?!"
Thor glared at Brunhilde showing his discontent.
This time Loki turned around and said seriously, without any emotion, "Nice to meet you too, your majesty. I am Loki, Thor's adopted brother.", Loki stressed out his arm to greet the woman.
Valkyrie and Loki shook hands, "Hey, Lucky, did you lose your memory? We were working together on Sakaar for Grandmaster, we were fighting Hela together, remember?"
"He's not that Loki. He's from other reality.", Thor explained, "It's a long story."
Brunhilde rised eyebrows in amazement and said, "Okay than, we can start everything from the beginning. Brunhilde, the last Valkyrie, now queen of Asgard."
***
Loki was walking near Temza river admiring the view. His mind was in mess, so he needed some time with himself to think about all things that happened to him in these few days. The news broke him so bad, he couldn't get himself together. What has he done to deserve this destiny? That was a rhetoric question because it was obvious. All the wars and deaths he caused, all the destructions and tears of pain he gave to people were the reason why the life treated him like this. It was pitiful that he couldn't figure it out earlier...
