You walked down the familiar halls, taking in every sight, wonderous as they were, although you had seen them your entire life. Your family was well known in Asgard, and you had spent much of your childhood studying with the princes. Thor had always been foolhardy, hardly ever considering what he was saying, and how it would affect those around him. But this, this was going too far. Loki had a very close secret, one that he shared with no one, not even with you or Thor. You could not blame him though, Thor would yell Loki's preciously kept secret to all the 9 realms without a second thought.
Thor knew of his secret, and how he valued it so, and attempted to pressure Loki into divulging it in front of everyone. As Thor forced Loki to back into a wall in an attempt to hide, you watched, fearing to do anything. You feared the brothers' anger, although they were your closest and oldest friends. To intervene would quite possibly evoke the Thunder God's anger. You watched as Loki's eyes brimmed with tears, carefully keeping them in check so that they wouldn't spill over in front of his pompous brother. In a moment, between blinks, Loki had disappeared! You silently laughed to yourself, as Thor's eyes fumed with anger and confusion, obviously not knowing where his brother had gone. You, of course, knew, as you had always been closer to the raven-haired prince.
The anger at Thor welled up inside of you, threatning to blow at the next person you saw. You had to remind yourself that you were going to Loki. The anger would not ease the tensions, and would only make his problems worse. As you reached the end of a passageway, you glanced around to make sure that there would be no one watching. As you both were skilled in the art of seidr, the...

"So I was right. Not even my closest "friend" can stand before me now. But then again, why would a monster like me need any friends. None of you care anyway."
There was a smirk across his face, and a dark expression behind it. The sadness that weighed heavily upon your chest felt as if Mjolnir itself layed on you. But added to the pain was a newfound anger. You looked up and stared into Loki's eyes. You stepped towards him, without breaking your gaze. A look of surprise shone in his eyes, and it just as quickly disappeared. As you stepped towards him again you slowly raised your hand. Loki visibly stiffened at what he thought was coming. Thor, as well as Frigga, had tried the same thing. The tender touch of their hand was supposed to soothe him, and he expected the same from you. You, however had something very different in mind.

...s sleep, to catch Thor, who is holding onto Loki. It is at this time that Loki finally confesses is reasoning for his actions, “I could have done it, Father! I could have done it! For you! For all of us!” (Miller). Odin does not approve of Loki or his actions at this point, and a disappointed Loki lets go of his once-brother Thor, and Loki falls into a warm whole, to be presumed dead until a year later when he comes back for revenge in the Avengers.
Loki is seen as such a big threat that he is locked in a cell, meant to confine the Hulk, and yet as the trickster always does he eventually gets out of his confinement. His overconfident and unworried attitude alone seems to be taunting the heroes. He knows how to get under peoples skins with/without words and by simple behavior. The power of presence and behavior under even less than favorable condition is really powerful and helps Loki disturb the team. The trickster even fooled the avenger into thinking they had fooled him. He pretends to fall for Black Widows trick and “accidently” reveals his plot to use the Hulks rampage to destroy the place, allowing him to go free. Loki’s true plan is to pit the Avengers against the Hulk and have the controlled Hawkeye come to his aid and distract the avengers. The Hulk does end up rampaging, as Loki planned, and even revealing his plot didn’t stop it from happening. It doesn’t just show how calculating Loki is but how understanding the other characters allow him to use them to his advantages. A common theme of trickster stories is their ability to escape situations using wit and cunningness. Loki is freed and uses his power of illusion to trick Thor into entering the cell, thereby trapping him inside. With tricksters it is never as easy as “seeing is believing”, especially with Loki who is an expert sorcerer with the power of illusions and shapeshifting. The trickster teaches us to always stay one step ahead and not to relax our guard, even when we think things are going our way, but to stay on alert because you never know when someone might gain the upper hand. Loki’s action also brings some good as he unties the avengers, who had previously done nothing but argue and fight amongst themselves. When he “kills” Phil Coulson it motivates the Avengers to work
A combined example of these two aspects can be seen in the Avengers: Age of Ultron directed by Joss Whedon. Thor, Norse
Not only is Loki a trickster, but he is also famous for his shapeshifting, meaning he is “able to take on the appearance of whatever chose” (McLeish, par. 2). Shapeshifting is an ability that few of the Norse...
The story of Lokis is a narrative from a professor’s point of view of a strange man named Count Szemioth who exhibits unusual animalistic behaviors. Despite this, the Count is merely described as eccentric. The Count has certainly lived an eccentric life, his mother was mauled by a bear and became mad as a result, to the point where she had suicidal tendencies and called her newborn son ‘the beast!’, and the Count himself encountered a bear but was only licked and then left alone. The characters first meet when the professor goes back to his room in the Count’s castle only to be greeted by an intruder who was climbing the tree outside his window, when the professor asks one of the servants if it was someone from the household, the servant remains
Even though everyone knew that Loki had done it, because they had lost the one that they loved, they were too sad to do anything about it. Frigg thought that she had made sure of Balder’s safety, even though she had overlooked this one small plant.
Norse legend says that when Loki breaks free on the day of Ragnarok he will exact his revenge. He will show just how dark he is and what his twisted mind is capable of. On that day he will lead the giants and monsters into battle against the gods because of the torture that he was made to endure (“Loki”).

[Thor] Naw its fine watch this. (Clears throat) Are you an appendix cause I have this feeling in my stomach that I should take you out.
‘’ I appreciate you telling me all of this but you said nothing about the past. How are you feeling right now? What do you think of every day since you are mostly alone? I wish to help you so the others will let you be a part of the team.’’ ‘’ I am aware of their hatred towards me and I aim to stay out of their ways. I would be keen to become my true self again although it is implausible and dubious. My tricks and mischief was somewhat innocent before my encounter with Thanos. His presence in my life was the beginning of the downfall I presume.’’ Loki replied despondently and postulating that everyone else would consider a change in him to be faux. ‘’Do you know that before I was assigned to evaluate you I had another project in mind? I was about to request to take on your brother as a patient for I had noticed his whole façade was bogus. He always communicating with everyone on a superficial level but I observed his expressions and they revealed how horrific he was feeling. I am confessing this to you now because I need you to comprehend that Thor was genuinely wounded emotionally from ton having you around. So I would like to ask you to talk to him and tell him exactly what you told me here today. The Avengers won’t fully trust you from the beginning of your collaboration nevertheless the least you can do is attempt to mend your relationship
Too late! He had heard me. Why had I been so stupid as to scream? I had lost valuable seconds and drawn negative forces to me.
I saw his fist once again heading toward my head. I was taut to never let the enemy away with victory so this time I did the same thing back to him as he has done to me.
