Loki was surprised and yet not with Jormungandr's questions about Odin's position. He understood why his mother had been unwilling to talk about what had happened to her husband. Loki took a deep breath half wishing that Tony was there to help him explain. However he knew that there would probably be some questions that he wasn't sure he wanted to explain to Tony yet. "I will have to take this story back a few years. A couple of years ago Odin decided it was time to crown Thor king of course your uncle was still quite full of himself and ready to fight whomever he could. I knew he was not prepared to rule Asgard and prevented the coronation from taking place by allowing a few Jotuns into the vault where I knew the destroyer would take care of them. I stopped the coronation but Thor demanded when go to Jotunhiem against Odin's orders to punish them for their treachery. We were found out and Odin banished Thor to Midgard. However while in Jotunhiem one of the Jotuns grabbed me and instead of burning my skin like they are known to do, my skin turned blue." Loki breathed. He knew his daughter knew and Sleepnir too about his heritage now and he had explained it to Fenrir and casually mentioned it to Jormungandr but it was not the same as revealing it completely.
"It was after Thor had been banished that I went down to the vault to find the Casket of Ancient Winters, I grabbed it at the same time as Odin came down. He explained that I was the babe stolen from Jotunhiem, left abandoned to die there. I was sure he had more purpose for me than merely taking me. I was never able to drag it from him before he fell into Odinsleep conveniently. Your grandmother gave me the mantle of the throne, something I was not prepared to deal with when I had just learned everything I just had. I knew though that I could not allow Thor to come back and take over and I feared what would happen if he learned what I was. I used the Destroyer to try and kill him. I can't say I did so in my right mind or that it was right but I did so. Thor returned to Asgard and we fought on the Bifrost. I was trying to destroy Jotunhiem, he defeated me but I fell on the edge of the Bifrost he had destroyed to stop me. He caught me and Odin having woken caught him. I tried to explain what I had tried to do, but Odin denied me any understanding. Instead of facing what I had done I released my hold on Gungnir and fell. I expected to die, instead I fell into the void." Loki explained with a shiver as he remembered. The memory of the void was painful and cruel. Taking a deep breath he looked up to his children.
"In the void I was captured by a being called The Other who served an elder or ancient being called Thanos. He wanted me to join him, I refused and for a time I was 'persuaded' until he grasped hold of my mind. The being gave me a staff and an army sending me to Midgard to claim it and the tesseract. The Avenger defeated me and Thor took me back to Asgard where I was to be judged and punished. It was done so without my being able to say a word in my defense. My mouth was sewed shut and my magic taken from me by means of a collar. Months, years I spent there I know not the exact time I have not asked. I was left alone in a cell with only guards that hated me for company and that was only until others found out where I was. Eventually one day I found my cell open and escaped. The Bifrost was open as well and I jumped through without a thought and fell here." Loki continued, this part wasn't any easier than the last but the next part was easier.
"Tony gave me a chance here when he had cut me free and allowed me to explain. He found evidence to prove my innocence. While here Thor returned and then Odin followed him along with Sif and the warriors. I remembered while they were here that Sif and Fandral had been 'around' while I was imprisoned in Asgard. They tried to separate Tony and I, going so far as to damage my mind. Something which it turns out that had done many times in the past. It was enough to bring them to trial on Asgard. Whilst there I was forced into my Jotun form and Odin would not provide the glamour to me again. It was during a 'discussion' with him that I discovered his mind had been enveloped by a sickness and your grandmother has taken over the throne with support from myself and Thor. Odin no longer has control and can not threaten any of you any longer." Loki finished. He felt relieved that he could say such things to his children knowing that they had worried about the god for such a long time and that that man had prevented all of them from being together.
