The Twin Goddesses

Chapter Five

I loop my arm through Indra's as we watch the two of them until the elevator doors close. Then I turn to her and give her a grin only she can read. Let's go talk, the smile says.

"Night Point Break, Reindeer Games"

Indra laughs as we walk off towards my room as Thor and Loki both grumble.

Thor yells, "I told you not to!"

Loki huffs out, "Don't start that with me, little sister."

I call back loudly, "Please! You remember what I did when we were kids!"

Loki and Thor make the most inhuman whiny noise as we run into the room and close the door. Thor bangs on the door and we laugh even more.

"Oh come on Thor, it was a joke."

He grumbles something unintelligible as they both walk off. I roll my eyes and move towards my bed, sitting down, patting right beside me. Indra comes over and sits next to me.

"I promise I was going to tell you liten orkan"

"I believe you Røykkaster." She leans back on her elbows. "I was just taken aback. I'm not used to someone else telling me something before you do." She smirks at me before sitting back up. "So, you and Clint. Me and Kate. Have we found our partners?"

I nod with a small smile, replying, "I believe so. I feel something strong for Clint. Not something I have ever felt for anyone else." I say, as I yawn a bit. "Plus Okuh really took to him. She doesn't take to anyone that quickly. Especially when I don't truly know them."

"True." She quips, as her eyebrows rise and her grin extends. "I feel that way with Kate; and those eyes." She shook her head. "They're captivating. They really do shine like diamonds." She nudged me with her elbow. "Did he ask you to dinner when you get settled in too?"

My smile widens as she mentions that. My face heats up as I think back to the conversation and I tuck a piece of hair behind my ear. Without looking at her I glance around the room, trying to avoid her eyes. The bare gray walls catch my eyes and I frown. Blush and Lilac would make great colors in this bedroom. Should try to rope Bucky into going shopping for the supplies. Wonder what Dra will paint her room.

Then I look back at Indra and nod, "Yes he did. I think that he wants me to settle in here for like a week or something. But for us Princesses we only need a day." I smirk at that. "Besides, when we have muscles that can get our stuff done faster."

We are interrupted, again, by J.A.R.V.I.S. saying, "Princess, you don't even have to go get supplies. Just tell me the colors and they will be here by morning."

I jumped as the AI spoke and I glared at the ceiling, asking, "Are you everywhere? I swear by the nine realms. I can't do this." I shake my head laughing at the absurdity of talking to the wall.

Indra doesn't bother looking up when she says, "J.A.R.V.I.S. Please do us a favor and stop eavesdropping. We appreciate the information but we're having a private conversation here."

"My apologies Princess."

I give her an appreciative smile before sitting back down next to her. "Anyways." She says, resuming the conversation and now yawning, herself "I'll definitely be putting Stevie to the test with his art skills. I want a design on my wall."

I let out a laugh as she said that. Shaking my head from the picture that came into my head. I hope she knows what she is doing. She just met her twin flame and she can't fuck this up.

"Well he is an amazing artist." I respond with a smile. "But make sure you talk to Kate. I'm also going to talk to Clint in the morning. Because I want him to know that nothing is going on between us. And that he can trust me." Besides, I kind of want a morning kiss.

She shakes her head in confusion. "Why must you always think that there is something between Steve and I? Kate and I don't need to talk when there is nothing to talk about. Steve and I are just friends. Always have been, always will be."

I sigh as I clearly hadn't gotten through to her. What must I say to get through to her? I grab her hand and look directly at her.

"That's not what I mean. I don't think you and Steve were ever a thing, liten orkan." I say softly, as if talking to a scared animal. "Steve told Bucky before the war that he loved you. That he wanted a house and a family with you. I'm sorry I didn't tell you, but Bucky asked me not to. I gave him my word that I wouldn't."

I watch the turmoil in her eyes as she seems to think over what to say. Shit, did I ruin our relationship by keeping it from her? Can I salvage this? Is she going to hate me? I'm pulled out of my thoughts by her pulling her hand out of mine.

"I...I'm going to bed." She stammers as she walks over to the sliding door that joins our rooms and closes it behind her as she enters her room.

I watch the door close and before getting up to pace. I wish Hela was still around. She would know what to do. Why did Odin have to banish her? Should I go talk to Bucky?

There was no way I was getting any sleep tonight. I lay on my bed staring at the ceiling.
