After I calmed down, Thor took me to my room so that I could get some sleep.

I mulled over everything that happened and I realized that even if Loki had told me who he worked for, it still wouldn't have answered all my questions.

The only one who can clear the air and tell me everything is Adina. She's the only one that knows why I was chosen and what for.

I turn over onto my side and watch the early morning sun grace the land below. The more the light grows over Asgard, the more I realize what I need to do.

I need to talk to Adina. But how exactly I'm supposed to do that, I have no idea.

By time I get up it is already the afternoon. After I ring for some help the doors open some time later as a group of women bring in a tray of food along and enter the wash room to set up a bath for me.

After they leave I enter the washroom to find that it looks like something from the Roman days, with rock walls, low lights, stone benches and a bathtub the size of a jacuzzi in the middle of the ground.

The rich aroma of perfumes and soaps fill my nose as I step into the hot sudsy water. As I let myself sink down into the water, I can feel all the stress that I was experiencing leave my body almost instantly.

I sit in there for a while closing my eyes until I hear whispered voices nearby. My eyes slowly open at the sound as I think that some of the servants must have come back.

"I'm in the washroom!", I call out to them.

When the door opens I'm surprised to see Steve and Bucky walk in which instantly making my face light up.

"Glad to see that you're up", Steve says amused as he watches me.

"Do you guys care to join me?", I ask with a flick of my brow.

"It might be fun just to watch", Bucky says walking over to me and sitting down on a nearby bench.

"No I still think it'd be more fun if you joined me", I say as I move closer to the bench he's on and lean against my arms outside of the bath to look at him.

"Why don't you tell us what you were up to last night? Thor told us to let you be and sleep in this morning so we figured something happened", Steve says as he leans against the door frame.

My lips tighten as I realize that I can't get away with shit anymore.

I sigh deeply as I turn around to face Steve, "Me being tired automatically means that I was up to something? That doesn't seem right...".

Steve's eyes flick behind me and I immediately know that him and Bucky are exchanging meaningful looks.

"What did you do after the party then?", Steve asks.

"I came to my room", I reply casually.

"Rosie, you and Thor are terrible liars and we don't believe you for one second", Steve says looking me dead in the eye.

"Not to mention that Thor's been acting guilty and avoiding us all morning, so we know something happened", Bucky adds behind me.

I'm quiet for a moment before I come up with an idea, "Alright. I'll tell you, but only if you both get in the bath".

Once again I see them exchange looks and shift slightly uncomfortably as they decide what to do.

They know I'm stubborn and won't give in until I at least get something I want.

I'm both surprised and pleased when Bucky stands up and starts stripping down. My eyes flick over to Steve as I watch to see if he's going to join as well.
