11- HA!

Whilst running down the bank I had swapped the strange material on my legs and my skirt for a replica of the trousers Jane had been wearing.

I crawled under the gap in the fence after Thor, "I thought I told you to stay with Jane!" He whisper yelled at me, "And since when do I do what I'm told?" I grabbed two black cloaks made from and odd material and handed one to Thor.

Suddenly alarms started blaring, I cursed under my breath. Me and Thor darted back and forth between these big storage objects avoiding everyone and making sure not to be seen. Lightning came from the sky, "What is it with you and your flare for the dramatics?" I asked as I looked up but Thor simply grinned.

We entered the tubing system and we were met with two guards. I simply stepped to the side and let Thor walk past me to 'deal' with them. I ran back in front of my brother taking the lead, I spotted the ladder we need to climb down and saw two agents running up it. I grabbed both handles on either side and kicked the first one who knocked the second down. "HA!" I laughed with a grin plastered over my face.

Another guard came running our way and I round house kicked him in the jaw knocking him to the ground, "I believe that makes three to two brother, you shall need to up your game" He huffed back in anger, "Well that is not fair they attacked you first!" We continued running as another four guards came this time and me and Thor grinned at each other.

Two went for Thor and two went for me, I grabbed guard number ones weapon and hit him across the side of the face with it. Guard number 2 came behind me and I thrust my right leg back into his gut, he doubled over in pain, so that his face was now centimetres away from my foot. Big mistake.

I kicked my foot up and heard the clashing of his teeth against the top and bottom of his jaw. Guard number one took the opportunity to sweep my one supporting leg from under me so that I fell rather roughly on my side. He then pointed his weapon at me and told him to stay down.

Within a second Thor had tackled him and knocked him out of the system leaving a hole in the artificial wall. "Ha! Five to four sister!"

"Hey that's not fair you stole my one!" I shouted as I continued to run trying to catch up to my brother. We finally turned a corner and there it was, Mjolnir. Suddenly Thor was thrown to the ground.

"Your big. Fought bigger" Thor punched the man straight in the face and was knocked outside by him. They both went tumbling down the side of the crater hill, when I got outside the man had my brother in a choke hold.

Perhaps it was a little harsh but I kicked the man in the neck. I mean it worked, his grip loosened on Thor's neck, my brother then elbowed the man in the gut. When my brother went to elbow him again the man caught his arm and flung him further down the hill.

The man then got up and ominously walked up to me and I retreated further up the hill. The man then lunged at me and I decided to take a little risk. I jumped up and kicked my legs out, with my momentum against the large mans against himself, he tumbled down the hill from force and pain.

I grinned that it had actually worked, I had always wanted to do that but since I've only ever fought against Frost Giants I've never really had the chance. "Where did you learn to do that?" I didn't need to see his face to know that my brother was smiling. "You have no idea of the things I get up to when your not around brother, I also believe that makes it six five to me brother"

"Six?! No sister, five all"

"Thor did you see how big he was! Compared to me that has to count for two!" Clearly Thor tried but he couldn't contain the laughter that bellowed out of him. It was truly intoxicating so before long I had a smile that slapped itself across my face and I was grinning ear to ear.

We both jogged back towards the white wall I climbed back in through the hole we had just made whilst Thor ripped more of it off, he stepped down into the mud near the hammer while I still struggled to get back in. Finally I heaved myself up but then I was met with sight I would never have imagined.

My brother couldn't lift the hammer, I stopped in my tracks, if he couldn't lift that this was all for nothing. He screamed and grunted but his efforts were in vain. He looked up to the sky and screamed a heart wrenching scream.

I had never seen him look so defeated before. I didn't have time to respond before I was roughly grabbed and both of my hands were restrained behind my back. I saw the same thing happening to Thor before we were led off somewhere. I struggled against their grip until I felt something stabbed into the side of my neck. Everything started to feel off.

It didn't matter how hard I tried to resist against my body's pleads to simply drop unconscious I couldn't win. I tried and tried to keep my eyes open but nothing worked, I felt my eye lids flutter shut.

When I finally woke my hands were bound to a chair. I tried to struggle free until my brothers voice cut me off, "It is no use Mira, just let it be" He looked utterly defeated. It was so uncharacteristic of him it was unsettling. I simply let out a deep sigh and took his advice.

That was when a man walked into the room and stood before us. Thor still had his head hung in shame but I glared at the man just as I had glared at Laufey. "You two made my men, some of the most highly trained professionals in the world look like a bunch of minimum-wage mall cops."

Of corse I had no idea what he was referring to yet I refused to let it show on my face and continued to glare at him. "That's hurtful, in my experience, it takes someone who's received similar training, to do what you two did to them. Why don't you tell me where you received your training? Pakistan? Chechnya? Afghanistan? No you" He said looking at Thor, "Strike me as more the soldier fortune type. Where was it? South Africa?"

He kept listing the names of what I assumed to be places on this realm. The more he talked, the more places he named, the more chance I had of finally finding where we were. For once I did not seem to mind being forgotten about.

"And you?" He said looking at me, damn, spoke to soon, "I assume Russian?" Great, still I was unfamiliar with all of the places he was naming.

"Certain groups pay very well for good mercenary's like you two. Who are you?" When neither of us spoke he let out a deep sigh and continued.

"One way or another we find out what we need to know. We're good at that." I couldn't hold my gaze against him any longer, I turned to Thor with a face full of horror. If he was implying what I think he was...

My thoughts were interrupted by an odd bleeping sound. "Don't go anywhere" He instructed us, "How could we?" I replied and rattled my hands with the strange restraints on them to further insinuate my point. "British? That's a new one"
