Asgard's Princess

1

"He killed 80 people in two days" I hear a feminine voice say before I hear a familiar voice talk back. "He's adopted"

"Adopted or not he is still out brother" My voice rings out before I come into view, the train of my golden dress trailing elegantly behind me. My legs show with every step due to the slit on each side that came halfway up my thighs. A few of my chocolate brown curls were loose and sway as I move brushing against the back of my neck while my head piece weighs heavily on me.

"Sister!" My brother, Thor's, voice booms out once he sees me. With his usual child like excitement he runs over to me, scoops me up in a hug and spins my around making me giggle. When he finally sets me on the ground I feel everyone's confused eyes focused in us. I place my hands on his cheeks "It's good to see you again brother" with that I pull his head down and place a kiss on his forehead.

After travelling I had returned to Asgard, using my magic only to find Thor was gone. I had persuaded Father to allow me to help and he had allowed me to do so. Knowing that even if he said no I would have gone anyway.

"Sister this is Lady Natasha, Dr. Bruce Banner and Captain Steve Rogers." My brother introduces me and point to each on as he goes. "Avengers, meet my sister. Astra goddess of love and justice, blessed with the power of fire and ice, Princess of Asgard and daughter of Odin."

I wave shyly at everyone, unsure of what do next. Thankfully the man in the purple shirt speaks up, continuing the conversation. Smiling at him in thanks I watch as he blushes adorably. "I think it's about the mechanics. Iridium...What do they need iridium for?"

Two more men walked in. One with brown hair and brown eyes and the other, slightly shorter one, with sandy blonde hair and light blue eyes. The brown haired one speaks. "It's a stabilizing agent." He turns to the other man and says something to him before the blonde walks away. The brunette continues "It means the portal won't collapse on itself like it did at S.H.I.E.L.D. No hard feeling, Point Break. You've got a mean swing." The man lightly hits Thor's arm.

My brother moves around to cover me, keeping me out of view. I resist the erg to roll my eyes at the over protective oaf. The brunette walks away towards some screen that remind me of a soul forge on Asgard only different. "Also, it means the portal can open as wide and stay open as long as Loki wants. Raise the mizzenmast. Jib the topsails. That man is playing Galaga. Thought we wouldn't notice but we did. How does Fury even see these things?" I turn to my brother, eyebrow raised to see if he understands anything the man is saying. Unfortunately he is just as confused as I am.

A brunette girl from beside us answers the mans question sounding bored "He turns"

"Sounds exhausting. The rest of the raw materials, Agent Barton can get his hands on pretty easily. the only major component he still needs is a power source of high-energy density. Something to kick start the Cube." Just as the man turns Thor steps in front of me again, this time though I get annoyed and press down on a pressure point on his neck making him fall to his knees.

"Brother, you needn't be so over protective you an I both know who can win in a fight." I watch as he stands up, rubbing his neck "Very well sister"

I turn to face the man and give a small curtsy "Please do excuse my brother. I am Astra daughter of Odin"

The man simply stares at me open mouthed when he does speak his voice cracks slightly "Heigh-ho". Clearing his throat he tries again his cheeks reddening slightly "I'm Tony Stark" He holds his hand out to me and I place mine in his.

The moment my skin touches his I feel a slight jolt of energy along with a burning sensation in my wrist. My breath catches in my throat as realization hits me. This man was my soulmate. He brings my hand up to his lips and presses a gentle kiss to the skin making me blush. "It's a pleasure to meet you"

The brunette from before speaks up breaking the moment between Tony and I. "When did you become an expert in thermonuclear astrophysics?"

Tony lets go of my hand yet its clear to the both of us that we didn't want to "Last night. The packet, Selvig's notes, the extraction theory papers. Am I the only one who did the reading?"

Steve tries to get the meeting back on track "Does Loki need any particular kind of power source?"

Bruce replies "He would have to heat the Cube to 120-million Kelvin just to break through the coulomb barrier"

"Unless Selvig has figured out how to stabilize. the quantum tunnelling effect." I already love the sound of Tony's voice. When it comes to soulmates, your mates voice and touch can instantly calm you down no matter what. Its a comfort thing.

Bruce talks again "Well, if he could do that, then he can achieve heavy ion fusion at any reactor on the planet."

"Finally, someone who speaks English." Tony walks towards Bruce can he talks.

"Is that what just happened?" I smile at Steve's comment.

I watch as Tony shakes Bruce's hand "It's good to meet you, Dr. Banner. your work on antielectron collisions is unparalleled. And I'm a huge fan of the way you lose control and turn into a giant rage-monster."

"Thanks" Bruce replies shyly, but I'm confused as to why Tony called him a monster. "Thor how is Bruce classed as a monster? Has no one on this planet ever encountered a Draugar?"

Bruce speaks up interrupting my brother from saying anything "What's a Draugar?" I guess they didn't have any on this world.

"Draugar are blood drinking monsters, they are impossibly strong and can change there size. They smell of death and decay and have the horrible visage of a rotting corpse." I shudder while explaining it. Thor puts his arms around me from behind in comfort as I relive the memory of the last time I had to face one.

"Well I turn giant and green and destroy everything out of anger. Have you ever encountered anything like that before?"

"No, but there are worse things out there in the realms. Anger is the least of your worries."

"Dr. Banner is only here to track the Cube. Who the hell are you and why are you on my ship?" A one eyed man says as he walks in.

I go to answer him but Thor beats me to it. "Fury, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. this is Princess Astra, Goddess of Love and Justice she is my sister." I hit Thor on the back of his head he lets out an "Ow" before glaring at me.

"Do not give me that look brother. I can answer for myself. And you need not use our tittles here. They mean very little on Midgard and Its rude to constantly point them out. Just because we are gods, does not make us above them."

Thor understands what I mean and give a slight bow to everyone "My Apologies friends, I meant no disrespect" I nod in approval and turn to Fury. "It is a pleasure to meet you sir Fury." once again I give a small curtsy in respect.
