Ragnarocc

Epilogue

A bit of a jump forward in the timeline to after the next book, but it handles the little easter egg in the Strange Turn of Events that mentions the Mjolnir Thor had when Hela attacked was a fake. It's also quite cute!
Thate Sweedinson AWAY!! One sided of course... but it's there.
And for anyone wondering why Odinson and Sweadner makes Sweedinson. Because we personally couldn't pass up a Lit Meme for the DANKEST couple of the century. XD

"You're late."

I strode into the castle several hours after I had promised to return to Asgard, still riding the wave of confidence stopping in the nearest Norwegian town had given me. I simply brushed off Thor's observation as I deactivated my helmet and set a box I was holding down on a nearby table. "And?"

"And... Nothing, really, I was just expecting you back this morning," he muttered, "Remind me what business you had in New York in the first place?"

I made myself comfortable on the couch, taking full advantage of a castle that didn't even belong to me, "I needed to get something from the other Avengers anyway, so I just decided to stay for a few days to hang out with the crew."

"And you're late because...?"

"I don't owe you an explanation."

Thor sighed, sitting next to me and shaking his head, "Come on, don't be this way."

"Okay, fine, I stopped in a town to say hey for a bit," I confessed, "Listen, they really like us here, not to mention all the little kids go crazy for magic tricks ~." I summoned a bit of fire, tossing it from hand to hand to demonstrate.

"Hm," he seemed surprised, tracing the path of the flame with his eyes, "You never struck me as someone who liked children."

His statement was so absurd, I couldn't help but laugh, "I don't, but they like me, so I figured I'd just get them to love me more so that when they grow up, they'll build a statue of me."

"We can build a statue of you here, you know?"

"But will you?" I didn't give him a chance to answer, "Doesn't matter, because Loki already said he would over on his side of the kingdom so HAH!"

"He needs to stop giving you things..."
"Aw, cmon, it's haaaarmless~" I whined dramatically, "But since I was gone for so much longer, perhaps this little gift I got you can make up for it."

"Is that what the box is for?" he pointed to the basic cardboard box I'd brought in, "I thought that thing looked suspicious."

I hopped up from the couch and prepared to open the lid, "Nothing bad, I swear. You'll love it. Now close your eyes."

"I don't trust-"

"Just do it!"

With a sigh, he obliged, standing up to recieve whatever mystery gift I'd retrieved from New York. Smiling to myself, I opened the box and lifted Mjolnir from the packaging. It was lighter than it looked. I'd discovered I could lift it back on Asgard, and although elated, had done my best to keep it a secret. The only other person who knew was the one I had employed to make an incredibly convincing replica. Holding it out in front of me, I sang, "Okay, you can open your eyes!"

He did exactly that, mouth immediately dropping open. He looked from me, to the hammer, then back to me several times. "Is it...?"

"Surprise~!" I made jazz hands with my one free arm.
