Thor: The Return of Love

I Spy Competition.

Chapter 3

Thor walked out of the hospital wing, Lady Sif following him quickly. He walked with speed and purpose to the main chamber. The faster he was in, the faster he could get out.

"Thor, do slow down will you? A few extra minutes of walking won't kill you." Sif's voice rang through the empty corridor. Thor turned and gave her an apologetic smile.

"I do apologize Lady Sif. I am simply eager to return to Jane Foster." He heard her sigh and before he knew it she had came to a stop, grabbing his arm in the process.

"Why Thor?" She began quietly.

"I'm not quite sure I understand.."

"Why a Mortal Thor!" Her voice exploded. "Why would you bring a Mortal back here? Why would you give your love to someone that'll disappear before your hair turns ashy. She'll only break you Thor Odison. She'll make you vulnerable, and then she shall crush your heart." Her rant ended there, the last syllables echoing off the walls as both of the corridors occupants stood silently.

"I appreciate your concern Lady Sif. However, I must insist that you cease involving yourself in situations that do not concern you." The underlying anger in his voice shocked her. She had only ever heard that anger in battle, never directed at her.

"It does.."

"No. Lady Sif, you are my friend, but that does not give you the right to discriminate Lady Jane. Our love does not concern anyone but the two of us. It does not concern you, and it does not concern Odin himself." Just like that, he brushed past Sif, heading into the main chamber.

Sif's head was down, her hair covering her eyes as she gritted her teeth. In one quick movement her double bladed sword had left it's studded sheath and was now pinning a nearby curtain to the stone wall. She took a deep breath, gathering all her thoughts together for a few moments. Finally, with one good tug, the sword was back in it's rightful place, it's owner leaving the empty corridor behind.

To Jane

She was getting anxious. She knew it. Her eyes may have been focused on the clock, but no matter how hard she tried, her mind refused. As a result, every deep thought she had in the past couple of days came rushing to the surface.

"You know, Thor was right about you."

She jumped, the smooth voice jolting her out of her thoughts. She turned to see a woman in a beautiful golden silk gown. The middle of it running in a light sky blue color. Her golden hair was braided and wrapped in an elegant bun atop of her head. It was then that Jane noticed the crown.

"Oh umm.. Thank you Miss." Jane stuttered hopelessly. She was about to attempt a curtesy when the women raised her hand, a small smile gracing her lips.

"Lady Jane, I must insist you calm down. I am Frigga, Queen of Asgard." She sat gracefully on the edge of Jane's bed. The brown haired girl opened her mouth, she wasn't sure what she was going to say, but the words that tumbled out were not her intended ones.

"You're Thor and Loki's mother?" She asked, her eyes widening slightly at the ridiculousness of the question. Queen Frigga looked shocked, and Jane wondered if she had offended her Majesty in some way.

"Yes, I am Thor and Loki's mother." Frigga smiled. "Not many like to admit Loki is part of this family, so it shocks, and pleases me that you do Lady Jane,"

"He might be a bad person, but he's still a person, with a family." Jane said softly.

"I'm glad you have an open perspective, you are so much more radiant than my son had informed me of." The Queen said laying a hand on top of Jane's.

"He.. He talked about me?"

"The better question would be, when did he not."

Jane smiled shyly, and she felt the small blush grow on her cheeks. "This is a lovely city. I'm sorry I'm breaking a rule by being here."

"Nonsense. There is not a rule per say. We just haven't seen a Midgardian on Asgard in a long time. I do apologize for my husband, he has a nasty habit of making people feel unwelcome." Frigga smiled softly at the young girl in front of her. "Plus, anyone who can change Thor into what he is now, well they might as well have all the qualities of a true God."

Jane couldn't help it anymore. The huge smile lit up her face and she knew she was crying. She was so embarrassed but she couldn't stop the small stream of water cascading down her face. The best she could do was sputter out a few words of apology for her uncharacteristic break down in front of royalty, but, To her surprise, she felt arms embrace her.

"Do not shed any tears Jane Foster. You are an amazing woman, and I know my son would never trade you for the world." She pulled away slightly, smiling at Jane. "Now, he should be back any minute, and we wouldn't want him to see you upset."

Jane nodded. She wiped her eyes, pulling her hair into a messy bun. "Thank you, your Highness."

"Please, call me Lady Frigga."

"Thank you, Lady Frigga."

"No. Thank you, Jane Foster. For protecting my son."

Jane was shocked to say the least. "I don't mean to correct you, but Thor's always been the one to save me."

Frigga smiled softly, her eyes filled with pride. "Maybe in battle. You however, have saved him from decisions that would have indefinitely killed him. You have saved his heart Jane Foster. That is something I will never be able to repay you for." She sent one final reassuring smile at her sons love and with a slight squeeze of her hand, she breezed elegantly out of the room. Leaving the astrophysicists to her thoughts once again.

Thor set his face in a stony expression. He had no idea what he was up against as he walked into the Main Hall. His thoughts still swirling around his conversation with Lady Sif. He wished they would all leave him be, that they would all just trust him. He was back with Jane, and he was happier than ever. Now he just needed to make his father and best friend see that. Much like Jane, he was so deeply entranced by his thoughts, that he didn't hear his name being called until it was said yet another time.

"Thor."

His head snapped up, he hadn't even realized he had entered the main room. He rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly, a little embarrassed at how he was caught. He noticed a women standing beside the All-Father, one that couldn't have been much older than Thor himself. She was light skinned, her white flowing hair put in a simple braid that cascaded down her back. She stood tall and confident, poised and sophisticated. While on top of her head sat a circle of intertwined flowers, almost like a crown. Immediately Thor knew nothing good would come of this. It was then Odin spoke, he spoke words Thor would never forget. Words that opened a whole new set of problems for the God of Thunder.

"Thor. This is Zorra."
