Everything was quiet. Thor, Clint, Loki, the guards pointing weapons. Yep. Everyone was quiet. No one even said hi back! I suddenly feel a large hand on my shoulder, and I turn to see Thor had gone through the guards. Loki lets go of my hand, making me turn towards him, and he nods towards Thor, telling me to go with him. I let Thor drag me out of the circle of guards, and watch helplessly as they put Loki in chains.

"Prince Thor. Welcome back." A deep voice says. I turn, and up on a platform stands a tall, dark-skinned man in full Asguardian armor, different than what the normal guards are wearing. "Welcome to Asguard, Warrior Barton and Lady Crest."

"You must be Heimdall." I say, and he nods once.

"Sophie Marie Crest." He says in acknowledgement.

"Really? You had to use my middle name?" I ask, cocking an eyebrow. "You are just showing off. Is this because I said it was creepy that you see everything?" He lets out a laugh, and from behind me I hear Loki and Thor join in. Clint was still in mission mode, but I saw the corner of his mouth lift in a half smile before turning serious again.

"You've been here for not even five minutes and you have already gotten Heimdall to laugh. Impressive." A woman's voice says, and I turn to see four people enter.

"Friends!" Thor booms, smiling widely. He walks forward, arms open wide and gives them all hugs. Three men, and one woman. "I would like you to meet some of my friends from Midguard. This is Warrior Barton," He gestures to Clint, who steps forward.

"Clint Barton." He says. "Agent of SHIELD."

"And Lady Crest." Thor says, and I step forward with a smile.

"It's Sophie Crest." I say. "Don't call me Lady Crest. Please. It's annoying, and Thor only gets away with it because... why do I let you get away with it?" I ask, turning to him.

"Sophie Crest?" The woman murmurs. "I've heard that name. Do you know the son of Coul?" She asks, and I laugh.

"You mean Coulson?" She nods. "Yes. He's like a father to me. Why?"

"He talked about you quite a lot while I was on Midguard tracking Lorelei. He and his team helped me capture her and bring her to justice." She says.

"This," Thor says, "Is Lady Sif and the Warriors Three. Fandral, Hogun, and Volstagg." I nod towards them, and Sif turns to Thor.

"The Allfather has heard of your return and requests to see you." She looks towards Loki. "All of you." Okay, that was weird. Loki did say that everyone here was still completely against him returning.

"Of course." Thor says. "Let us go." He starts walking towards the exit next to his Asguardian friends, and Clint and I look at each other before following, me glancing back at Loki. The guards surrounding him had started walking when he did, keeping him surrounded at all times. We walk around Heimdall's podium thing to come out, and the full view of Asguard hits me like a bullet.

Both Clint and I just stop, taking in in the view. In the distance, I can see a giant golden castle. Man, Asguard was made of a lot of gold. There were a lot of statues rising out of the ground, and a beautiful city. Clouds dot the sky that I notice has two moons, and I can see the stars clear as day, even though it was the day.

"What did we just get ourselves into?" Clint asks, and I shake my head.

"I have no idea."

"Lady Crest! Warrior Barton!" Thor calls, and we turn to see seven horses waiting. Seven... not eight.

"What about..." I trail off, half turning towards Loki.
