The Asgardian And The Human (Fem Reader X Steve Rogers)

Chapter 40 - Fading

Throughout the ride I was reading through my mother's book. Then I used my power to meditate...to make myself stronger. I kept thinking about Loki...about what he told me....I'm stronger.

I gasp as I open my eyes, looking down as my hands glow, they slowly return to normal. "Are you alright?" Thor grabs my hand.

"I'm...fine." I nod, staring at my hands. "I'm stronger now.....Loki was right." I say sadly.

Rocket walks over to us, "So, dead brother, huh? Yeah, that can be annoying." He suddenly says.

"Well, he's been dead before, but this time I think it really might be true." Thor says.

"And you said your sister and your dad?"

"Both dead." I nod.

"Still got a mom, though?"

"Killed by a dark elf." Thor says.

"A best friend?"

"Stabbed through the heart." I nod.

"No girlfriend or boyfriend? I mean you both are attractive." He says awkwardly.

"No."

"I do...I hope. It's been awhile since I've seen him. He lives on earth. I just hope he's still waiting for me." I nod.

"Geez...Are you sure you're up to this particular murder mission?" He asks us.

"Absolutely. Rage, vengeance, anger, loss, regret...They're all tremendous motivators. They really clear the mind. So I'm good to go." Thor nods.

"Yeah, but this Thanos we're talking about...He's the toughest there is."

"Well, he's never fought me." Thor says.

"Yeah, he has!"

"He's never fought me twice. And I'm getting a new hammer, don't forget."

"Better be some hammer."

"You know, I'm 1,500 years old. I've killed twice as many enemies as that, and every one would have rather killed me, but none succeeded. I'm only alive because fate wants me alive. Thanos is the latest in a long line of morons and he will be the latest to feel my vengeance." Thor says.

"And my powers are fully restored now...so he won't beat me." I nod.

"And what if you're both wrong?"

"If we're wrong then....what more could we lose?" I say, looking down at my hands.

"Okay. If fate does want you to kill that crapsack... You're gonna need more than one stupid eyeball." Rocket gives Thor an eyeball.

"What's this?" Thor asks

"What's it look like? Some jerk lost a bet with me on on Contraxia."

"He gave you his eye?" I ask in disgust.

"He gave me 100 credits. I snuck in later that night and stole his eye."

"Thank you, sweet rabbit." Thor smiles and puts the eyeball in his socket.

"Oh. I would've washed that. The only way I could sneak it off Contraxia was up my...Hey, we're here!"

Thor smacks the side of his head, "I don't think this thing works. Everything seems dark."

"It ain't the eye."

I look out to see Nivadellir is dark and motionless. "Something's wrong. The star's gone out. And the rings are frozen." I say.
