Avengers : Reunion

Palace

Thor

When we landed on the bifrost I was surprised by the lack of soldiers. There were only three horses awaiting us. I glanced down at Nyx. She had her eyes closed and her jaw clenched.

"Nyx?" She looked up at me.

She looked around and relaxed. She sighed with relief. The pure white horse came up to Nyx. She patted the horse on its neck.

"Hello again, Mystique. It has been to long my friend. I have missed you so much." She smiled and climbed up on the horse.

She looked down at me, "I will hold the Tesseract while you get him situated upon his horse."

I handed the Tesseract to her. She smiled at me. I knew she was nervous. The black horse came forward and nudged Loki. My brother looked troubled. His horse knelt down so he could mount on his own. His horse stood and Loki turned him around. Nyx got in the way of Loki with her horse. She was glaring at Loki.

"Thor, are you going to get on? We do not want to keep your father waiting." She looked at me.

Her eyes were troubled. She looked away and I mounted my horse.

"It's nice to see you again, Lily." I looked at Nyx.

I nodded and she moved to the other side of Loki.

"Let's go." Nyx nodded.

We all took off for the palace.

Nyx

After Thor gave the go ahead I didn't wait for him or Loki. I went into a full run with Mystique.

Nyx, talk to me please?

It was Loki. I couldn't speak to him right now, so I just ignored him. I wasn't safe coming here because of him. As we got closer to the palace I began thinking about my mother and father. I had happy and unhappy memories of this place. I didn't know what awaited me, but I was afraid. I was afraid I would never go home. I looked down at the Tesseract. It opened portals across planets, but I doubt it was capable of taking me back in time. I wish it could. I took a deep breathe. I needed to get out of my head.

"Nyx?" I looked down.

Thor was next to me with Loki. I looked up at the palace. I didn't realize we were here already. I handed Thor the Tesseract and climbed down off of Mystique. I stepped in front of Mystique and placed my forehead against his.

I hope I see you again.

I pulled away and smiled. Mystique was one of the few things I had left from my parents. Mystique whinnied and trotted away. I missed him so much during my time on Earth.

Nyx?

I turned to Thor and Loki, "let's go."

I walked past them up the palace steps. I hoped that things would go smoothly.

Loki

Nyx was ignoring me. We were almost to the throne room. Nyx stopped once she reached the throne room doors. She waited for us and then stood behind us with the Tesseract.

Nyx, what are you doing?

She didn't answer me.

"Are you ready, Nyx?" I turned as she looked up at Thor.

"I'm as ready as I will ever be, Prince Thor." Thor yanked on my arm and pushed the doors open.

Nyx followed behind us.

"Thor, my son, you are back. Welcome home," Odin looked over us and then behind, "what is the meaning of bringing that monster back here?"

I looked back at Nyx. She hadn't looked up, but I saw the irritated from upon her face. She didn't look up, she didn't react to my fathers words. She just kept her gaze on the floor.
