Guardian (Captain America FF book 2)

Chapter 24: Heading Home

Jade Aurora

"I apologize deeply. But I feel that it is in my best interest that I return home. My mental state is irreparable. Even Friggas Magic could not even repair it. So I wish to return to Midgard and protect it." I confess to my grandparents, father, and uncle guiltily. Odin nods, thankfully understanding. "Whatever you wish my dear. You may leave when ready." I put my arm across my chest and bow slightly "Thank you AllFather."

Odin waves it off "You may visit as you please. But no matter where you are you will forever be Aurora, goddess of the stars and Midgard." I try to contain my smile, nodding "Of course AllFather. I shall do you all proud."

Loki smiles, his hands folded behind his back "You already have Aurora." I felt guilty as I glanced at the floor. "Is Steven of Brooklyn returning as well?" Frigga asked curiously. I nod, a bitter taste from our fight still fresh in my mouth. But I could bear the mental strain any longer. "Yes. He is coming."

Steve was waiting outside the throne room while I said goodbye. I walked forward and hugged Frigga. "Thank you for helping me. I do hope I see you again." I say softly. Frigga strikes my hair and says elegantly "You may return to Asgard anytime you wish my dear. Just ask Hiemdall and he shall open the Bifrost to you."

I hug Thor, my big teddy bear of an uncle. "You're coming back to Earth right?" Thor nods, filling me with reassurance and relief "Always." Odin simply takes my hand and gives it a loving squeeze "Hopefully next time you may meet your mothers kin." I smile, masking all of my emotions as I've done my whole life. "I would like that."

When I get to my father, I bury my face into him and wrap my arms around his thin body. "I will return to Earth. I swear." I pull away and smile as best I could. Feeling emotionally drained "Goodbye father. Don't go take over any worlds while I'm gone, alright."

He chuckles, poking my nose with his finger "I'll try darling." I take a deep breath, collecting my thoughts, holding tight to memories, remembering my family as I turned and walked down towards where Steve had our bags. I took mine from him and stalked off without a single word towards him.

I hadn't spoken to him since we had fought the night earlier. I regretted fighting with him but he doesn't understand that what I went through cant be undone. Ever. When we reached the Bifrost Hiemdall bowed slightly "My Princess. You wish to return to the tower of Avengers."

I nod, trying to keep my composure. "Yes Hiemdall. Thank you." We stood there as Hiemdall turned the sword and the Bifrost activated, shooting us through light years of space in the blink of an eye.

I opened my eyes and I was on the roof of Avengers tower with Steve, just as we had left it just over a week earlier. Without waiting for Steve I grabbed my bags and marched down into the tower. Tony saw me waking down the stairs and smiled brightly "Hey kid! How was Asgard?" I fake a smile, forcing out "It was really shiny."

He patted my shoulder, looking happy that I was back. "Where's Spangles?" I tense up as I hear his voice behind me "Here." Stark glances between the two of us, sensing there was something wrong. "What's going on? You two are usually all sappy and shit." I glare at Steve, feeling depressed as I turn and walk towards my room "Missed you too Stark."

Sorry it's short. It's just a filler to get her back on earth. But what do you think about the goddess of Midgard???
