I sit on the bed next to my identical twin sister Indra. "Dra, what do you think about going to Midgard to see our brothers?" I ask, tilting my head as I smile, thinking of Thor and Loki. I have missed them terribly.

"I love that idea." An enormous smile plastered on Indra's face.

The doors open as our guards don't so much as knock before entering.

David Salvagio and Wesley Drake are their names. "Princesses." Wesley says bowing. "Your father wishes to see you in the throne room." He says.

I stare at Wesley, a fire burning within my soul. He was very much the match for me with wide shoulders, defined muscles and a way to deflect my temper. Not even Indra had the power to deflect my anger sometimes. I was very much just like our father in how my anger presents.

Steven is Indra's guard. She doesn't need someone so hot headed like I do. He is also more "normal" looking for an Asgardian guard. His muscles are more muted, and his body is less defined. Indra doesn't put up as much of a fight as I do. Why we were assigned the guards we were.

I groan. "Fine." I say before walking out, more like stomping and throwing a tantrum, and into the throne room. "Father, you called?" I ask, dipping into a curtsy.

Odin nods. "Yes, meet your future husbands. Prince Jamettus of the Isherin Empire and Prince Gozelinus of the Priston Empire." He says. "You will be married in a fortnight."

I glare at him, creating a fireball. "I will do no such thing." I say. "I won't have you dictate who I marry, father." I shake my head in anger.

"This isn't right and you can't make us." Indra says, crossing her arms.

Odin shakes his head. "I am the Allfather, and your King. You will do as I say! David! Wesley!." He yells and the guards step up. "Take them to their bedrooms and make sure they stay there." He says.

David nods. "Yes Allfather." He bows before escorting Indra out, while Wesley wrestles with me. We get halfway to our rooms before we break free. We rush towards the bifrost at full speed, while David and Wesley chase us. I am a few feet in front of Indra as I rush towards the bifrost, my anger fueling me.

I look at Heimdall. "Midgard now." I command and he opens the bifrost sending all four hurtling towards Earth. We land feet away from the compound.

Wesley yells. "Princess Ember! You are not thinking rationally." He states. We run towards the compound and I throw open the compound doors. A small smile appears on my face as I feel our brother's aura. We rush towards them, our guards right behind us.

Thor looks up from his conversation with Loki. "Em, Dra? What are you two doing here?" He asks. "David! Wesley! Explain!" He yells.

Wesley and David look at each other before nodding. "Prince Thor, the Princesses are running from an arranged marriage." He says. "The Allfather ordered them to marry."

Loki looks at us. "Is this true sisters? Did Father try to arrange you?" He asks.

I nodded. "Yes Lo. I refuse to marry except for love." I explained. "I don't want to do a duty." My fireball reemerges.

"Neither do I." Indra says, putting out my fireball.

Thor shakes his head. "Jarvis!" He shouts.

"Yes, Point Break?" The automatic voice chimes in.

"Point Break?" I ask, a smirk appearing on my face as many thoughts pass through my head.

"Don't start Em." Thor says as he turns back towards the voice of the AI. "Call a meeting with the Avengers." He says.

Jarvis doesn't respond but he says. "Avengers, meeting in the conference room."

Thor hugs us and kisses our forehead. "Stay outside the door. Loki and I need to explain why the meeting was called and then we will call and introduce you." He says.

"Okay Thor." I respond with a smile. We trail behind our brothers as we head to the conference room. Once there they put their hands up, in a 'wait here' movement before entering the room.

—---------------

"Point Break, Reindeer games? Why was this meeting called? Cause I'm pretty sure I own the compound and I didn't call it." Tony Stark speaks up.

"Tony, we called it." Loki responds.

"We have a problem Tony." Thor booms. "Our father wants to arrange our sisters for marriages. They don't want that. And so they came to us. We are their elder brothers and must do everything in our powers to keep them from having to enter into these marriages."

Tony looks at them. "Okay where are they?" He asks.

"Sisters." Thor called out. Indra and I walk in.

There are two collective gasps in the room. "Ember? Indra? You can't be alive." Bucky and Steve say in unison.

I look at Bucky with a small smile. "Buck? I thought you died. I went back to Asgard shortly after you fell."I admit as I look down. "I found it too hard to be on Earth after you."

Thor looks between us. "You four know each other?" He asks.

"Dra and I met them back in the forties Thor. We were friends til they went to war." I say.

"And look at how much you've changed." Indra says, finishing my train of thought.

Bucky looks at me. "I missed you. So much." He says, kissing my forehead.

"What is going on here?" Loki asks.

"I slept with Ember the night before I left." Bucky says, looking down.

Thor marches up to him, grabbing him by the throat and holding him in the air. "Excuse me? You deflowered my sister?" He yells.

"Thor! Put him down! I am an adult, been an adult for a long time. Stop treating me like I'm a virgin." I yell, in anger.
