Thor and Loki stood in their large room they had to share staring each other down with anger. Though Thor anger was not at Loki nut at the brutal past that had torn them apart. Loki's anger was right at Thor and Odin with pure heart and rage in his head. He spoke none though to his .....no not a brother more like a lying snake that he was. This was happening or the last two weeks and it annoyed Thor as Loki didn't eat, didn't sleep he did nothing he stood with rage in his eyes as if planning to slaughter him in his sleep.

"Mother this isn't going to work," Thor said sadly annoyed at his brother's rather unruly anger toward everyone. Loki had not uttered a word as if he just wished he would die he secretly did wish it he wish that these bone headed gods leave him alone to suffer and die but no mother had to be soft and try and save his already rotting soul. Thor was angered and saddened as he just wanted Loki back he wanted his brother but...maybe he was too far gone to save even though there were moments he saw...some spark of hope it was gone in a flash.

Frigga sadly looked upon Thor as she sat in the brothers' shared room. Odin had initially warned his wife that this decision would make Loki's sentence worse. Being locked in a box was enough, but Frigga had to jump in, and pass the leash to Thor. It was for...what's the term..."his own good"? But she was confident in this. "You can come in now", she called after a moment of silence.

The door to the room opened, and a face of a woman appeared in the doorway. She walked in a calm manner; almost proper with a hint of elegance, but it's like underneath, she was warrior-material. Her face was that of an Earth woman in her late twenties. She was quiet, and her face was almost stoic.



"I want you, boys, to meet Ava. She's been under my care", their mother explained. The woman, known as "Ava", gave a neutral smile, as she made a proper bow of a lady. "She's not like us. Don't tell your father", the queen added.

Chris merely smiled and nodded his head "I can sense she isn't like us" he said but Loki did nothing his eyes stayed narrowed and anger in his eyes "Brother please show at least some manners" Thor said but the god spoke none and did npothing to show any respect to her as thor sighed sadly "so.......what is she so post to do to help us?" He asked unsure if she would or could help them. Loki just looked away not interested in her or anything happening moving as far away from them as possible and snorted at them.

Frigga smiled fondly as the girl used the manners she had taught her. Sadly, since she wasn't Asgardian, Ava was isolated from everyone within the kingdom, and the only place she would eat and sleep, were in the queen's study, the only spot she could remain hidden. Unfortunately, having to be hidden from Heimdall and everyone else's view, Ava knew little how to communicate with others. Most of these lessons came only from the queen herself.

Ava giggled and lightly blushed at Thor's observation, but immediately stopped and her face frowned, once her eyes laid on Loki, somehow displaying that same trace of anger. "You see? That is how she will help you", the queen responded after observing Ava's shift in mood. She gracefully stood up from her sitting position, and approached the girl, who seems to still be projecting her younger son's anger. "Ava is an empath, a detector of our emotions and feelings. Try it, Thor, express goodness to her", she gestured to the still-frowning girl.

Thor looked confused, how was this going to help?! He twitched a small smile and gave a smile to the young lady "don't mind him. He's been in a bad mood for many years" he said with a sweet smile "Mom I need to talk with you for a bit" said pulling his mother outside the room knowing Loki wouldn;t do anything just stay silent and hateful.

"How is that going to help ? No matter how sweet or notice i am to Loki its never done anything to the god. Just because she is a girl its not done a thing to the fallen god. I can smile and hug him but it has done no good to Loki, I have tried everything but it has done nothing to break his heart of stone mother" he explained to the goddess this could either be a saving grace of a terrible terrible idea. Loki just stared out the window angrily still spoke no words of anything to anyone. keeping himself away from others, not wanting them in his life.

Despite Thor's complaint, Frigga kept her smile on, confident. But she made a sigh, once she and Thor were alone, outside the room. "She's the link between you and your brother! I created her; that's why she's not one of us", she began to explain quietly, almost desperately for her eldest son to understand. "Haven't you ever wondered about Loki's true feelings? The feelings he has never told anyone? Your brother's been sitting in the dark of that cell, reveling in his own anger, and trapped in his mind and body! Believe me, my son, I tried talking to him. But there was nothing he wanted to say", the queen sounded sad at the recollection of watching Loki sit in a corner of that box.

"When you and Loki were asleep, I took a fragment from each of you. Those two fragments make up Ava's own mind; she can see your memories, your desires, your burdens. Even your personalities and gifts, making her half of you, and half of him", she was softly explaining this to him. "See her like a mirror; she reflects you and him. If you ask her anything about him, she will reveal what you have yet to see. She'll do the same for him", she then placed a gentle hand on his cheek. "Live your lives. She will help you both. When your brother's not around, ask her. Or just generally talk to her", she finished softly.

Thor rubbed his temples with a groan and sighed gently "Mother........." he didn't know what to say to her, she had now broken two very private places in her sons. "Mother....You....Just can't take our privicy to our heads and place it in a girl. You coudl havr done something much different. I am never going to ask for his true feelings because the one thing the ONE thing Loki trusted us with is his privacy in his head. Which now is broken and which will make him.....very.....very mad. There is a grat fine line that this now walks on Mother. " he said a bit annoyed at his mothers rather ...impulsive idea. He didn;t hate her for it but there was something that didn't sit right with him about this girl. Mostly because she could easily break the mind pricy of both gods which were something everyone wanted to make sure they had safe but ...Now neither of them had that safety and the one person that relied on it a bit more was Loki and now...Now it was in the open and that was a BAD idea.

"fien fine we'll try it.....But i do not think this will work mother. There are certain things Loki hates and one is an invasion of his head and that is something that's broken and will make him very resentful to us" Thor said knowing his brother rather well. he wrnt back to the room and could see Loki wanted nothingto do with any of them and dared not speak or do anything then rot himself to death. He was sad by this but he knew the momment you tried force....was the momment nothing would ever work.

"I wanted you two to repair yourselves", the queen admitted before Thor dissapeared back into the room. "Be gentle with her!", she reminded him from the other side of the door. The last thing Frigga wanted was for Ava to get hurt; maybe she should have warned them. "She won't tell anyone!", with that addition, the queen hoped that it would calm Thor's concern and worry. With that, she walked away, solemn, and a little guilty to do such an act.
Inside, Ava was back to her stony self again, remaining where she stood just a few moments ago, as she watched Thor come back into the room again. "What she says is true", she finally spoke for the first time. "I can hold said-secrets. This is between me and you", the brunette spoke neutrally. She looked around, curiously, almost like a child. Her eyes laid on the book shelf. As soon as she did so, her apparel changed.



She chuckled dryly, almost amusingly. Ava looked through the book shelf, keeping that smile. "I've read these so many times", her voice became smooth, sounding mischievous; a trait from Loki.

Thor just sighed flopping on his bed he needed tim to think about this "Just....read or do something" he said rubbing his head, he just needed some time alone his head hurt and he worried about Loki finding out about this and it would be terrible. Loki just stared out the window huffing annoyed slightly looking out the window annoyed.

Later that day, in the evening, Ava has been switching back and forth of her concious made out of the princes' own. Lately, all they seem to be is annoyed by this ability of hers, and she wondered if she was doing something wrong. Clearly, Thor wasn't at all appreciated of the idea, nor was it to Loki (obviously). She hoped that if she could do some bidding for them, it would hold up their respect of them accepting her company. So, the long-haired dark brunette ventured to the palace's kitchen, and picked up their favorites. "Your majesty?", the young woman spoke up on the other side of the door to their shared room, with the two trays in hand.

Loki had not spoken a word and the anger kept radiating off him like steam off a boiling pot of water. Thor was just worried more about this idea then annoyed. He didn't mind it as long as she didn't go prying to far into their brains.He hears her and sighed gently and allowed the wind to open the door and looked over "You didn't need to get us food" he said a bit surprised she would go out and do that.

They haven't seem to move since she left. Ava wanted to give them more time and space to think about this idea; her reason to leave the briefly leave the room in the first place. "I figured that I would give you two space to think about this. I had my reasons to leave", she sighed before placing the trays on a table nearby, where she noticed Mjolnir sitting. She gazed in wonder at the impressive weapon. "Is this the great hammer of the Nine Realms?", she asked Thor in curiousity.

"Yes its the hammer of the nine realms" he said as he went to get his dish looking at Loki "You really should eat brother" he said as Loki responsed with a rage filled glare as Thor sighed "fine be that way" he said but left loki's dish alone and ate his steak and paptoes hungrily needing it.

The girl gave a grin to the Thunder God at his confirmation for the hammer to be the mighty Mjolnir. Out of nowhere, her outfit shifted again to Loki's colors and outfit design, but in a more feminine fashion. Her gaze towards the hammer became a frown, and she narrowed her eyes. Delicately taking hold of the handle, she tugged it. No budge. She tugged it again. No budge. She gave a grunt in her effort to lift the weapon, and she was projecting Loki's anger and frustration through it. This time, she used both hands and, once again, the hammer wouldn't give. "The tales are true about such a weapon", she grinned again to the eldest prince before looking at the brooding youngest. She approached him and sat across from him, near the window. "You're the youngest, they say", she observed.

Loki said nothing and scowled at her words his eyes ventured off awayr from asgard away from th stupid family with their stupid lies and their stupid love. Who could ever love him again? unless you whe5e as insane as he was you couldn't start to understand the swoirl of hatered and rage and pain that swirled through the god heart making him resentful to all his family. Thor chuckled at her attemps to pull the hammer "Nice try" he said eating his food. If she came closer to Loki he would jolt away and scamper away to be as far away as possible from her and thor wishing to be left alone.

The brunette wasn't surprised of Loki's attempt to distant himself from them, and she figured that it was his imprisonment that has made him this way. It's not like he had anywhere else to go beyond this room. She sat near Thor this time. "I can feel his pain. The anger", she said, looking upon the retreating Loki.

"don't we all feel it. It wasn;'t always like this he used to be a great trickster made me smile when i thought I couldn't ever smile. There is something about Loki that always tells me never to give up hope. But I do not know what else to do. All the times I try to show him what life could be like he recoils away and snaps. As nif all i do is hurt. Which i can understand" hre sighed gently

"I can literally see that", she agreed with the thunderer, as she sadly looked upon his brother in the corner of the room. Based on Loki's memories, she would know for sure that he'd been the trickster, rumored to meddle with the kingdom's people. Looking back to Thor, she took the empty tray from him. "What can you do for him?", she asked, hoping if there was anything she could do. Ava didn't want to throw herself in the youngest's face, and use her abilities freely. It would only make matters worse.

"well I can;t do anything he won't let me get close anymore. He never eats he never talks as if he just wants ti sit and rot" thor said as he was annoyed by his brother's stubbornness. Though Loki shell he had created was the stubborness...but something deep down was a smallest spark of hope left in his being making him a flower that if you pushed too hard that spark would be gone and thats why thor didn't dare press his brother.

Later that night, thor was fast asleep, Loki's glowing blue eyes scanned the room and slunk his way over to the bowl and grabbed the fruit and recoiled away to his corner and just sat and ate hungrily. He didn't want anyone to know he was hungry or anytuing he wanted to be left alone when people could see him. But he yearned for someone to understand the pain he went through to be lied to for so many years to be played with as if he was a toy for their amusement.

Later that night, indeed, with Frigga's permission, Ava was allowed to spend the night in the princes' quarters. Although, she had to sleep on a second bed that the servants were kind enough to loan from their own quarters. It was next to the shared bed that the brothers were forced to sleep in together. So far, she managed to befriend the God of Thunder, but she has yet to understand to God of Mischief. The negative energy that he was projecting that night didn't help her mentality as she slept, and she did remember Frigga telling that any disordered mental wave in the link can inflict disastrous effects upon her psyche.

With that, the brunette was tossing and turning in the spare bed. Whimpering, she never felt such pain, or those horrible visions creeping up on her afterwards. "Help", she quietly said in her sleep. "Help!", she said it louder. "No!", she began to shout. Sweat began to fall as she turned side to side.
